Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (TSX: BEP.UN; NYSE: BEP) (“Brookfield Renewable”) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

“We continue to make good progress in advancing our strategic priorities with a focus on delivering 12% to 15% long-term returns to our unitholders,” said Sachin Shah, CEO of Brookfield Renewable. “During the quarter, we executed many operational improvements, invested new capital into a number of transactions, and added a global solar development business as another growth area for us. All the while, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and access diverse sources of capital.”

Refer to  “Cautionary Statement Regarding Use of Non-IFRS Measures”.(2)  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, weighted average LP Units, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and GP interest totaled 311.2 million and 311.1 million, respectively (2018: 312.8 million and 312.7 millions).

Brookfield Renewable reported Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $17 million or $0.05 per unit. Funds from Operations were $230 million or $0.74 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $172 million or $0.55 per unit for the same period in 2019. This reflects per unit growth of 35%. These results were supported by our operational improvements, contributions from recent acquisitions, and strong generation as we benefit from the diversity of our portfolio.

Highlights

  • Generated FFO per unit of $0.74, a 35% increase over the prior year;
  • Announced our investment into a joint venture of a global solar developer with over 6,500 megawatts of utility-scale photovoltaic solar for approximately $500 million (approximately $125 million net to BEP) which we expect to close in the fourth quarter;
  • Closed the acquisition of 210 megawatts of operating wind in India;
  • Closed the first C$350 million tranche of our C$750 million investment into an Alberta renewables portfolio; 
  • Through TerraForm Power, announced the acquisition of a 322 megawatt distributed generation portfolio in the U.S., nearly doubling our distributed generation footprint and providing significant opportunities to drive incremental cash flow growth through operational and commercial synergies;
  • Ended the quarter with over $2.5 billion of available liquidity and raised approximately $275 million in incremental liquidity with the closing of the sale of certain of our South Africa facilities, as well as strategic up-financings and other liquidity initiatives;
  • Reduced our FFO payout ratio on an annualized basis to approximately 85%.

Transaction Update

Subsequent to quarter-end we announced, together with our institutional partners, that we will be forming a 50-50 joint venture to own one of the largest solar developers globally with an experienced management team, best-in-class contracting capabilities, and a proven track record of developing assets at premium returns. The portfolio comprises approximately 275 megawatts of operating solar, 1,410 megawatts of solar under construction and a broader 4,800 megawatt development pipeline which should provide significant growth optionality over the long-term.

Over the next five years, the plan is for the business to develop 500 to 800 megawatts of new solar capacity annually. This growth will complement our existing pipeline of development projects that includes over 600 megawatts of advanced stage wind, hydro and solar projects, and approximately 130 megawatts of assets under construction. We expect to close the investment in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Additionally, subsequent to the quarter-end, through TerraForm Power, we announced that we entered into an agreement to acquire, for approximately $720 million, a scale distributed generation business in the U.S. totaling 322 megawatts of recently constructed, fully contracted capacity, underpinned by a 17 year average remaining power purchase agreement term with credit-worthy offtakers. The investment will nearly double our distributed generation footprint, making this one of the largest such portfolios in the U.S., and providing significant opportunities to drive incremental cash flow growth through operational and commercial synergies. The investment is immediately accretive and requires no incremental capital as TerraForm Power expects to fund the transaction through project-level financings and the sale of interests in select North American wind assets. As a result, by redeploying proceeds from the sale of wind assets with limited levers for growth, into solar assets under longer-term contracts with significant opportunities to extract synergies, TerraForm Power is extending its contract profile, reducing its portfolio’s resource variability, and improving its organic growth profile. We expect to close the transaction in the third quarter of 2019.

We continued to execute on our capital recycling program during the quarter, completing the sale of four of the six projects in our South Africa portfolio for proceeds of $108 million ($33 million net to BEP). We also advanced the sales of the final two project in our South Africa portfolio, and the other non-core portfolios in Thailand and Malaysia. We expect these sales to close in 2019 for total proceeds of approximately $180 million ($55 million net to BEP).

Operations

During the second quarter, we generated FFO of $230 million, up from $172 million in the prior year as the business benefited from contributions from recent acquisitions and operational improvements driving cash flow growth. We also continue to benefit from the diversity of our portfolio as strong generation from our North American hydroelectric fleet more than offset a period of relatively weak wind resource.

In the second quarter, our hydroelectric segment generated FFO of $226 million. The portfolio saw strong generation in North America (15% above the long-term average) and strong pricing in Colombia. We continued to advance our contracting initiatives across our business, with a focus on commercial and industrial customers. In Latin America, we remain focused on extending our contract terms, signing 14 power purchase agreements in Colombia and Brazil for a total 1,239 gigawatt-hours per year. As a result of these initiatives, in Colombia, approximately 30% of our contracts now have terms greater than 5 years (versus none in 2016). In North America, we continue to benefit from a 17 year average contract term and no material maturities until 2029.

Our wind and solar segments generated a combined $66 million of FFO, up 32% relative to the same period in 2018, as we benefited from acquisitions and contributions from recently commissioned projects. We also added 25 megawatts to our global rooftop solar portfolio, including commissioning 10 megawatts through our joint venture with GLP in China, and closing the first phase of a 15 megawatt acquisition in Massachusetts.

Our storage and other operations segment performed well, generating $7 million of FFO during the second quarter, as the growing intermittency of global electricity grids continues to increase the scarcity value of utility-scale renewable storage.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

We ended the quarter with over $2.5 billion of available liquidity. In addition, we continue to prioritize an investment grade balance sheet (we are rated BBB+ by S&P) which we believe gives us significant financial flexibility and provides investors with a lower overall risk profile. We also remain focused on terming out our debt at low rates and hedging our cash flows from currency fluctuation when the cost is economically prudent.

During the quarter, we extended the term of debt in our Colombian subsidiary to approximately 10 years by issuing COP 1.1 trillion of bonds in the local market. This was one of the largest financings ever completed in Colombia and, given the high-quality nature of our portfolio, was significantly over subscribed. At TerraForm Power, we progressed up-financings of select assets in the portfolio and used the proceeds to repay credit facilities.

Outlook

We wish to extend our appreciation and best wishes to our Directors, John Van Egmond and Lars Josefsson, both of whom are retiring from our Board of Directors. John and Lars have served on our Board since 2011 and 2012, respectively, and we thank them for their strong support and advice during this time.

Looking ahead, we continue to focus on executing our key priorities, including maintaining a robust balance sheet and access to diverse sources of capital, enhancing cash flows from our existing business and assessing acquisition opportunities.

As always, we remain focused on delivering to our unitholders long-term total returns of 12% to 15% on a per unit basis. We thank you for your continued support and we look forward to updating you on our progress in that regard.
