Jade Power Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results
23 November 2021 - 1:09PM
Jade Power Trust ("Jade Power" or the "Trust") (TSXV: JPWR.UN) is
pleased to report its third quarter 2021 financial results. All
amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise noted.
Highlights1
- Energy
generation of 30,516 MWh for the third quarter of 2021 compared to
34,713 MWh for the third quarter of 2020. Energy generation of
109,898 MWh for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared
to 123,169 MWh with the comparable period in 2020. Energy
generation for the third quarter and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 was lower than the prior year's comparable
periods primarily due to less favorable wind levels.
- Revenue of $4.3
million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.5 million for
the third quarter of 2020. Revenue of $13.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $14.8 million for the
same period in 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result
of less energy generation, which was partially offset by an
increase in income from Green Certificates.
- Net income of
$1.6 million, or $0.07 per trust unit (each, a “Unit”), for the
third quarter of 2021, compared to a net income of $0.9 million, or
$0.04 per Unit, for the third quarter of 2020. Net income of $4.5
million, or $0.20 per Unit, for the nine months ended September 30,
2021, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.12 per Unit, for the same
period in 2020. Net income for the quarter was impacted by a
one-time gain of $0.7 million on the settlement of insurance claims
relating to the repairs of a damaged wind turbine.
- Adjusted EBITDA
of $2.3 million2, or $0.10 per Unit, for the third quarter compared
to $2.3 million, or $0.10 per Unit, for the comparable quarter in
2020. Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million, or $0.33 per Unit, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $8.4 million, or
$0.36 per Unit, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. (See
reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA under “Non-IFRS Measures”)
- Operating cash
flows of $2.6 million, or $0.11 per Unit, after net changes in
working capital for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.8
million, or $0.03 per Unit, for the third quarter of 2020.
Operating cash flows of $7.0 million, or $0.30 per Unit, after
changes in working capital for the nine months ended September 30,
2021, compared to $4.4 million, or $0.19 per Unit, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020. (See reconciliation of
operating cash flows after net changes in working capital under
“Non-IFRS Measures”)
- In September
2021, the Trust completed a consolidation of all of its issued and
outstanding Units on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Unit
for every ten (10) pre-consolidation Units, resulting in a
reduction in the issued and outstanding Units from 231,216,256
Units to 23,121,625 Units, and launched a normal course issuer bid
(“NCIB”) pursuant to which the Trust may purchase
for cancellation, from time to time, up to a maximum of 5% of the
outstanding Units of the Trust over a 12-month period from
September 17, 2021 until September 16, 2022. There were no
purchases under the NCIB during the third quarter of 2021.
J. Colter Eadie, Chief Executive
Officer of Jade Power, commented,
"We had a positive third quarter continuing to
generate positive free cash flow from our assets despite less windy
conditions impacting our energy generation. Performance underpinned
by the strength of our operating model and infrastructure continued
to be in line with targets. We also successfully completed a Unit
consolidation and launched a Unit buyback program which we believe
is an attractive use of surplus funds as we believe that at certain
times the market price of the Units may not fully reflect their
value. We are focused on ways to improve value to our
Unitholders.”

The Trust believes that these non-IFRS measures,
together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide
investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying
performance of the Trust. Non-IFRS financial measures do not
have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore
they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other
entities. The data is intended to provide additional
information and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. Management's determination of the components of
non-IFRS and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis
influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses
and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are
duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable.
