- Pattern Development signed a joint venture agreement with CEMEX

Energy's ROFO
- Completed a $351 million
follow-on primary and secondary equity offering, subsequent to the

"The $62.1 million in cash
available for distribution we reported for 2014 exceeds the target
we outlined during the IPO. This positive momentum reflects the
continuous growth we have demonstrated in our portfolio, which now
stands at 1,636 MW in owned capacity – up 57% since the IPO – as
well as in our identified ROFO list, which has grown by 781 MW in
owned capacity – an increase of 105% since the IPO," said
Mike Garland, President and CEO of
Pattern Energy. "At the same time, Pattern Development is also
expanding our reach by entering new markets, like Japan and Mexico through its relationships with GPI and
CEMEX, and contracting with new power buyers, like Walmart and
Amazon. Our high-quality operating portfolio and the clear path for
growth from our ROFO list underpin our stable and growing cash
flow."
Financial Results
Pattern Energy sold 888,577 MWh of
electricity on a proportional basis in the fourth quarter of 2014
compared to 440,623 MWh sold in the same period in 2013. Pattern
Energy sold 2,914,810 MWh of electricity on a proportional basis
for the full year 2014 compared to 1,771,772 MWh sold in 2013. The
increases were primarily attributable to the commencement of
commercial operations at South Kent, El Arrayan, Panhandle 1 and
Panhandle 2 at various times during the year and the twelve-month
figure also reflects an increase in production from an additional
42 MW at Ocotillo for the full year of 2014.
Net loss was $16.0 million in the
fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $19.4
million in the same period last year. Net loss was
$40.0 million for the full year 2014
compared to net income of $10.1
million in 2013. The change in the full year results was due
primarily to unrealized losses on interest rate and energy
derivatives (including the Company's proportion of the unrealized
losses at its unconsolidated investments) which increased by
$54.1 million for the year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $57.7 million
for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $29.4 million in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $198.1 million
for the full year 2014 compared to $141.8
million in 2013. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net
(loss) income determined in accordance with GAAP is shown
below.
Cash available for distribution was $17.3
million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to
$5.6 million in the same period last
year. Cash available for distribution was $62.1 million for the full year 2014 compared to
$42.6 million in 2013. The
$11.7 million and $19.5 million increases, in the respective
periods, were primarily the result of higher revenue primarily
attributable to the commencement of commercial operations at both
the El Arrayan and Panhandle 1 projects in June 2014 and a distribution from unconsolidated
investments, as well as, increased production at Ocotillo which
impacted the full year period. A reconciliation of cash available
for distribution to net cash provided by operating activities
determined in accordance with GAAP is shown below.
Quarterly Dividend
Pattern Energy declared an
increased dividend for the first quarter 2015, payable on
April 30, 2015, to holders of record
on March 31, 2015, in the amount of
$0.342 per Class A share, which
represents $1.368 on an annualized
basis. This is a 2% increase from the fourth quarter 2014 dividend
of $0.335.
Construction Pipeline
Two projects completed
construction and reached their commercial operation date on
schedule during the fourth quarter of 2014. Pattern Energy acquired
147 MW of the 182 MW Panhandle 2 project at the time of commercial
operation in November as agreed upon with Pattern Development.
Pattern Energy also owns a 67 MW interest in the 149 MW Grand
Renewable project which reached commercial operation in
December.
Pattern Energy currently has one project in construction as
detailed below.

Acquisition Pipeline
Pattern Energy has the Right of
First Offer (ROFO) on a pipeline of acquisition opportunities from
Pattern Development. In addition, Pattern Energy may seek to
acquire assets from third parties.
Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pattern Energy
announced the addition of three new projects to its list of
identified ROFO projects from Pattern Development, consisting of
150 MW of the 300 MW Henvey Inlet Wind project in November, 116 MW
of the 150 MW Amazon Web Services Wind project (Fowler Ridge) in
January and the 147 MW Mont Sainte Marguerite Wind project in
February. With these new additions, the identified ROFO list now
consists of nine projects with a rated capacity of 1,719 MW and a
total owned capacity of 977 MW.
The Henvey Inlet Wind project, to be built in Parry Sound
County, Ontario, is a 50/50 joint
venture partnership between Pattern Development and Nigig Power
Corporation, which is wholly owned by Henvey Inlet First Nation.
The Project has a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the
Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), formerly known as
Ontario Power Authority, for 100% of its expected production.
Pattern Development expects to arrange both construction and
long-term debt financing for Henvey Inlet in 2016. Upon completion,
it will be the largest First Nation wind project in Ontario.
The Amazon Web Services Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge), which is
located in Benton County, Indiana,
has a 13-year PPA to supply Amazon Web Services, an Amazon.com
company, with electricity. Pattern Development currently owns 100%
of the 150 MW project and it is anticipated that Pattern Energy
will acquire 116 MW of owned interest, with tax equity investors
acquiring the balance. Pattern Development expects to begin
construction of the Amazon Web Services Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge)
project in April and anticipates reaching commercial operation in
late 2015 or early 2016.
The Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind project, which is located
approximately 50 kilometers south of Quebec City in the Chaudiere-Appalaches
region, has entered into a 25-year power PPA with
Hydro-Quebec. Pattern Development
currently owns 100% of the 147 MW project and it is anticipated
that Pattern Energy will acquire the full owned interest in the
project. Pattern Development expects to begin construction of the
project in the third quarter of 2016 and anticipates reaching
commercial operation in December
2017.
The list of identified ROFO projects represents a portion of
Pattern Development's 4,500 MW pipeline of development projects,
all of which are subject to Pattern Energy's ROFO. The
4,500 MW include Pattern Development's interests in both its
recently acquired majority stake in Tokyo-based GPI and its recently announced
joint venture with CEMEX Energia in Mexico. GPI has up to 1,000 MW of near and
longer term wind and solar projects in development. The joint
venture between Pattern Development and CEMEX Energia has a goal of
developing 1,000 MW of wind and solar generation in Mexico over the next five years where recent
reforms set a mandate of 35% of generation to come from clean
resources by 2024.
