TerraForm Global Reports 3Q 2016 Financial Results and Files Form 10-Q

BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TerraForm Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLBL ) (“TerraForm Global”), a global owner and operator of clean energy power plants, today reported third quarter 2016 financial results and filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form 10-Q is available on the Investors section of TerraForm Global’s website at www.terraformglobal.com

“The reporting of our third quarter 2016 results demonstrates TerraForm Global’s continued progress in positioning the Company for success,” said Peter Blackmore, Chairman and Interim CEO of TerraForm Global. “The Board and management team are committed to strengthening operations and maximizing value for shareholders.”

As disclosed more fully in the Form 10-Q for 3Q 2016, with the filing of its Form 10-Q for 3Q 2016, the Company has filed all of its previously delayed SEC periodic reports, including its Form 10-K for 2015 and its Forms 10-Q for 1Q 2016, 2Q 2016, and 3Q 2016. However, due to the time and resources required to complete its delayed SEC periodic reports, the Company has experienced delays in its ongoing efforts to complete all steps and tasks necessary to finalize financial statements and other disclosures required to be in its Form 10-K for 2016 and subsequent quarterly reports. The Company currently does not expect to be able to file its Form 10-K for 2016 by the SEC deadline of March 16, 2017 or its Form 10-Q for 1Q 2017 by the SEC filing deadline of May 10, 2017.

Safe Harbor Disclosure

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve estimates, expectations, projections, goals, assumptions, known and unknown risks, and uncertainties and typically include words or variations of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “objective,” “forecast,” “target,” “potential,” “continue,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may” or other comparable terms and phrases. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that TerraForm Global expects or anticipates will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include financial metrics such as estimates of expected adjusted EBITDA, cash available for distribution (CAFD), earnings, revenues, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital structure, future growth, financing arrangement and other financial performance items (including future dividends per share), descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for future operations, products, or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. Forward-looking statements are based on TerraForm Global’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results and speak only as of the date they are made.  Although TerraForm Global believes its respective expectations and assumptions are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct and actual results may vary materially.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks related to the SunEdison bankruptcy, including our transition away from reliance on SunEdison for management, corporate and accounting services, employees, critical systems and information technology infrastructure, and the operation, maintenance and asset management of our renewable energy facilities; risks related to events of default and potential events of default arising under our revolving credit facility, the indenture governing our senior notes, and/or project-level financing; risks related to failure to satisfy the requirements of Nasdaq, which could result in the delisting of our common stock; risks related to delays in our filing of periodic reports with the SEC; risks related to our exploration and potential execution of strategic alternatives; pending and future litigation; our ability to integrate the projects we acquire from third parties or otherwise realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions; the willingness and ability of counterparties to fulfill their obligations under offtake agreements; price fluctuations, termination provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements; our ability to successfully identify, evaluate, and consummate acquisitions; government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and changes in market rules, rates, tariffs, environmental laws and policies affecting renewable energy; operating and financial restrictions under agreements governing indebtedness; the condition of the debt and equity capital markets and our ability to borrow additional funds and access capital markets, as well as our substantial indebtedness and the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness going forward; our ability to compete against traditional and renewable energy companies; potential conflicts of interests or distraction due to the fact that several of our directors are also directors of TerraForm Power, Inc. and most of our executive officers are also executive officers of TerraForm Power, Inc.; and hazards customary to the power production industry and power generation operations, such as unusual weather conditions and outages; and our ability to manage our capital expenditures, economic, social and political risks and uncertainties inherent in international operations, including operations in emerging markets and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls and restrictions on repatriation of earnings and cash, protectionist and other adverse public policies, including local content requirements, import/export tariffs, increased regulations or capital investment requirements, conflicting international business practices that may conflict with other customs or legal requirements to which we are subject, inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights, and being subject to the jurisdiction of courts other than those of the United States, including uncertainty of judicial processes and difficulty enforcing contractual agreements or judgments in foreign legal systems or incurring additional costs to do so. Many of these factors are beyond TerraForm Global’s control.

TerraForm Global disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data, or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by law. The foregoing list of factors that might cause results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties which are described in TerraForm Global’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as well as additional factors it may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted Revenue is a supplemental non-GAAP measure used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidating operating budget. We believe Adjusted Revenue is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which eliminates the impact on net income of certain unusual or non-recurring items and other factors that we do not consider representative of our core business or future operating performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance, including net income. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by non-operating, unusual or non-recurring items.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD)

CAFD is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our ability to earn and distribute cash to investors. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance, including net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Available for Distribution

Adjusted EBITDA                  We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidated operating budget.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation, accretion and amortization, non-cash affiliate general and administrative costs, acquisition related expenses, interest expense, gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, foreign currency gains (losses), income tax (benefit) expense and stock compensation expense, and certain other non-cash charges, unusual, non-operating or non-recurring items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance.  Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cash Available for Distribution

We believe cash available for distribution is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance. In addition, cash available for distribution is used by our management team for internal planning purposes.

We define “cash available for distribution” or “CAFD” as adjusted EBITDA of Global LLC as adjusted for certain cash flow items that we associate with our operations. Cash available for distribution represents adjusted EBITDA (i) minus deposits into (or plus withdrawals from) restricted cash accounts required by project financing arrangements to the extent they decrease (or increase) cash provided by operating activities, (ii) minus cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our renewable energy facilities, if any, (iii) minus scheduled project-level and other debt service payments and repayments in accordance with the related borrowing arrangements, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (iv) minus non-expansionary capital expenditures, if any, to the extent they are paid from operating cash flows during a period, (v) plus or minus operating items as necessary to present the cash flows we deem representative of our core business operations, with the approval of the audit committee.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD):

(in thousands)  Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

a) In conjunction with the closing of the IPO in August 5, 2015, we entered into the MSA with SunEdison, pursuant to which SunEdison agreed to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administrative services to us. No cash consideration was paid to SunEdison for these services for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and amount of general and administrative expense-affiliate in excess of the fees paid to SunEdison is treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, non-operating items and other items incurred directly by TerraForm Global that we do not consider indicative of our core business operations will be treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company’s normal operating general and administrative expenses of $5.4M for the 3 months ended September 30, 2016, not paid by SunEdison, are not added back in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

b) Represents transaction related costs, including affiliate acquisition costs, associated with the acquisitions completed during 9 months ended September 30, 2016 since such costs are considered to be paid for with financing sources. Additionally, includes formation and offering related fees and expenses and Formation and offering related fees and expenses – affiliate reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. These fees consist of professional fees for legal, tax, and accounting services related to our IPO.

c) Includes settled and unsettled gains and losses on foreign currency hedges related to operating and investing activities.  The net loss relates primarily to losses on foreign currency hedges of certain planned acquisitions, and is partially offset by gains on foreign currency hedges associated with operations.

d) Net change in restricted cash excludes impact of any foreign currency appreciation or depreciation during the period from 2Q 2016 and 3Q 2016.

Reconciliation of Operating Revenues to Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted Revenue

We define Adjusted Revenue as operating revenues, net adjusted for non-cash items including unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, amortization of favorable and unfavorable revenue contracts and other non-cash items. We believe Adjusted Revenue is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted Revenue is a non-GAAP measure used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidating operating budget.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Operating revenues, net to Adjusted Revenue:

(in thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
Adjustments to reconcile Operating revenues, net to adjusted revenue    
Operating revenues, net $ 55,055 $ 56,430
Amortization of favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts, net (e)   220    212 
Adjusted revenue $ 55,275 $ 56,642
         

e) Represents net amortization of favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts included within operating revenues, net
