Northland Power Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northland Power Inc. (“Northland” or the “Company”) (TSX: NPI) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. All dollar amounts set out herein are in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

“Operating results were strong this quarter with availability of 96%, and the offshore wind resource in Europe improved. Construction of our two offshore wind projects continues. Both Baltic Power offshore substations have now been installed, and all export cables are complete at Hai Long. The Hai Long project remains on track, but the commissioning of turbines has been slower than anticipated,” stated Christine Healy, President and CEO of Northland.

Ms. Healy continued, “As part of Northland’s strategy, we have assessed growth opportunities in our core markets in Canada and Europe. We see multiple value-accretive opportunities where Northland’s capabilities can be deployed to deliver long-term value for shareholders. To provide greater financial flexibility for self-funded growth while maintaining an investment grade balance sheet, the Board of Directors has decided to adjust Northland’s dividend to $0.72 per share on an annual basis. We are committed to this sustainable dividend and we look forward to providing our plan and outlook to the market at our upcoming Investor Day on November 20, 2025.”

Significant Events and Updates

Construction Projects Update:

Hai Long Offshore Wind Project – Northland continues to advance the 1.0 GW Hai Long project, installing more than half of the wind turbines and completing installation of export cables. Slower than expected commissioning could impact pre-completion revenues in the amount of approximately $150 million to $200 million (Northland share) in 2026. The fabrication of remaining components is continuing to advance as per schedule. The project remains on track for full commercial operations in 2027, with overall costs aligned with original expectations.Baltic Power Offshore Wind Project – Northland continues to advance the 1.1 GW Baltic Power project with offshore construction activities progressing including the successful installation of both offshore substations. The project remains on track for full commercial operations in the second half of 2026, with overall costs aligned with original expectations.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were higher than the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher production across offshore wind facilities, contribution from the Oneida energy storage facility, increased energy rates and market demand for dispatchable power at natural gas facilities. This increase was partially offset by lower wind resource at Spanish facilities.

Offshore wind facilities

Electricity production for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 19% or 139 GWh compared to the same quarter of 2024. Commercial availability for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was at 96%.

Revenue from energy sales of $253 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 18% or $39 million, compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher production across all offshore wind facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA of $126 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 17% or $18 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the same factors noted above.

Onshore renewable & energy storage facilities

Electricity production for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of 512 GWh was largely in line with the same quarter of 2024. Commercial availability for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was at 97%.

Revenue from energy sales of $127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 9% or $11 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the contribution from the Oneida energy storage facility commencing operations in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower production from Spanish facilities. Please refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, dated November 12, 2025 (“MD&A”) for a further breakdown of the Spanish portfolio revenue by component.

Adjusted EBITDA of $85 million was largely in line with the same quarter of 2024.

Natural gas facilities

Electricity production of 980 GWh for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 4% or 35 GWh compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher market demand for dispatchable power, partially offset by lower operating availability resulting from a planned maintenance outage. Commercial availability for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was at 93%.

Revenue from energy sales of $82 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 10% or $8 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to increased energy rates and higher market demand for dispatchable power.

Adjusted EBITDA of $42 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was largely in line with the same quarter of 2024.

Utility

Revenue from energy sales of $90 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 6% or $5 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to growth in the asset base.

Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 13% or $5 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the same factor as noted above.

Consolidated statements of income (loss)

General and administrative (“G&A”) costs of $30 million in the third quarter were in line with the same quarter of 2024.

Development costs of $17 million decreased $2 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower personnel costs.

Finance costs of $92 million decreased $16 million compared to the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to scheduled principal repayments on facility-level loans.

Fair value loss on financial instruments was $140 million, primarily due to net movement in the fair value of derivatives related to foreign exchange and interest rate contracts.

Foreign exchange gain of $20 million was primarily due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Share of profit from joint ventures of $22 million was primarily due to gains on the fair value of derivatives.

Impairment expense of $527 million was recognized as a non-cash accounting adjustment for the Nordsee One offshore wind facility primarily due to a transition from the subsidized price regime under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act to market pricing by May 2027.

Net loss of $456 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to net loss of $191 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of the factors described above.

Outlook

As of November 12, 2025, management’s 2025 financial outlook remains unchanged from the revised guidance issued on August 13, 2025, including expected Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion and Free Cash Flow per share to be in the range of $1.15 to $1.35.

In 2025, Northland continues to deliver key milestones across its construction portfolio. Upon reaching commercial operations, these projects will expand Northland’s operations and are expected to enhance production capacity and reduce portfolio volatility.

Northland continues to pursue its development pipeline to further enhance its cash flow profile. To capitalize on the market opportunity presented by growing demand for electricity and energy security, Northland is pursuing opportunities in offshore wind, onshore renewables, battery storage and natural gas.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes references to the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Free Cash Flow and applicable payout ratios and per share amounts, which are measures not prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and therefore do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-IFRS financial measures are presented at Northland’s share of underlying operations. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Instead, these measures are provided to complement IFRS measures in the analysis of Northland’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Management believes that Northland’s non-IFRS financial measures and applicable payout ratio and per share amounts are widely accepted and understood financial indicators used by investors and securities analysts to assess the performance of a company, including its ability to generate cash through operations.
