“Demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power continues to strengthen, particularly from data centers. In the last few months we have secured multiple long-term PPAs, including a 15-year portfolio PPA of up to 150MW to supply Google’s data center electricity needs through NV Energy, and a 20-year agreement with Switch for approximately 13MW from the Salt Wells power plant. These agreements enhance long-term revenue growth, support our expanded exploration and drilling initiatives, and position us to capitalize on record-high PPA pricing.”
Blachar concluded, “As we enter 2026, demand for reliable, low-carbon electricity, driven by AI and data center expansion, remains exceptionally strong. PPA pricing has reached attractive levels, and regulatory support remains constructive. With favorable market dynamics, recently signed PPAs, and an expanded exploration program, we remain on track to achieve our generating capacity goals of 2.6 to 2.8 GW by the end of 2028. We believe
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the fourth quarter was
$31.4 million , or$0.50 per diluted share, compared to$40.8 million , or$0.67 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by$12 million in impairment charges and a slightly higher effective tax rate, partially offset by strong growth in the Energy Storage segment. For the full year 2025, net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders was$123.9 million , or$2.02 per diluted share, compared to$123.7 million , or$2.04 per diluted share, in 2024. - Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS for the fourth quarter decreased 4.1% and 6.9%, respectively, compared to last year. Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders and adjusted diluted EPS for the full year 2025 increased 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively, compared to last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.1% in the fourth quarter to
$158.7 million and increased 5.7% for the full year to$582.0 million . The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by higher contributions from the Energy Storage segment, reflecting improved PJM pricing and new capacity additions, as well as improved performance in the Product segment. - Electricity segment revenues increased 3.6% in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year, primarily driven by contributions from the
Blue Mountain power plant, acquired inJune 2025 , and improved generation performance atDixie Valley . For the full year 2025, Electricity segment revenues decreased 1.2% compared to 2024, primarily due to$18.6 million of curtailments across severalU.S. facilities, a temporary reduction in generation at Puna related to wellfield issues and lower energy rates and planned repowering activities at Stillwater. These headwinds were partially offset by contributions fromBlue Mountain , theBeowawe repowering, and Improved performance atDixie Valley . - Energy Storage revenues increased 140.5% in the fourth quarter and 109.3% for the full year 2025 compared to 2024. Growth was driven by higher merchant pricing in the PJM market, commercial operation of Bottleneck and Montague in the fourth quarter of 2024 and
Lower Rio and the Arrowleaf hybrid solar-plus-storage facility in the second half of 2025. Energy Storage gross margin improved significantly year-over-year, reflecting higher merchant pricing and the benefit of a more optimized portfolio mix between contracted and merchant revenues. - Product segment revenues increased 59.1% in the fourth quarter and 55.2% for the full year 2025, primarily driven by the timing of revenue recognition from manufacturing and construction progress.
- Product segment backlog stands at approximately
$352 million as ofFebruary 25, 2026 . This amount includes approximately$100 million of revenues related to the Topp 2 project, for which our customer exercised its purchase option. The revenues are expected to be recognized in the first quarter of 2026.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
- In
February 2026 , we executed a 15-year geothermal portfolio PPA of up to 150MW to supply Google’s data centers’ electricity needs through NV Energy. - In
January 2026 , our customer exercised its option to purchase the 50MW Topp 2 project inNew Zealand for approximately$100 million . - In
January 2026 , we acquired our second hybrid solar-plus-storage facility fromInnergex Renewable Energy Inc. , the Hoku 30MW solar PV plant paired with a 30MW/120MWh battery, onHawaii's Big Island for$80.5 million in cash. - In
January 2026 , we invested$25 million in Sage Geosystems as part of its Series B financing round to advance next-generation geothermal and energy storage technologies. - In
January 2026 , we were awarded the Telaga Ranu Geothermal Working Area inIndonesia , strengthening Ormat’s long-term development pipeline in the country. - In
January 2026 , we signed a 20-year PPA with Switch for approximately 13MW from the Salt Wells power plant. - In
December 2025 , we commenced commercial operations at Arrowleaf, Ormat’s first hybrid solar-plus-storage facility (42MW solar + 35MW/140MWh storage). - In
October 2025 , we announced a strategic collaboration with SLB to develop EGS solutions. This collaboration with SLB is expected to significantly accelerate the timeline forOrmat to become a developer of EGS power plants and market EGS solutions that will help meet the growing demand for clean energy. Preparations for our EGS pilot project are already underway.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
| We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs; (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities; (v) costs related to settlement agreements; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities; (viii) allowance for bad debts; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the |
