TransAlta Reports First Quarter 2016 Results
Marketwired - Tue May 03, 7:31AM CDT
TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta" or the "Company"
(TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) today reported first quarter 2016 comparable EBITDA(1) of $279 million and comparable FFO(1) of $196 million, in line with expectations and tracking to the guidance provided for 2016. Comparable EBITDA increased by $4 million compared to the same period in 2015 with all segments other than U.S. Coal delivering similar or improved results over last year. Power prices in Alberta were at historic low levels during the quarter and impacted our hydro and wind assets in the province. The impact of lower prices on our coal facilities was mostly mitigated by our high level of contracts and hedges. Cost reduction initiatives and contributions from renewables assets acquired last year also offset the impact of lower prices in Alberta. Comparable FFO for the quarter decreased by $15 million compared to the same period in 2015. Last year, comparable FFO was positively impacted by realized currency gains.
