Altius Renewable Royalties Reports Q1 2022 Financial Results

Altius Renewable Royalties Corp. (TSX: ARR) (OTCQX: ATRWF) (“ARR” or the “Company”), is pleased to report its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 with a conference call to follow May 5, 2022 at 9 am ET.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, ARR reported attributable revenue⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ of US$0.7 million and a net loss of US$0.2 million. This compares to attributable revenue of US$0.3 million and a net loss of US$1.2 million in Q4 2021, and revenue of US$0.03 million and a net loss of US$0.1 million in Q1 2021. Based on the performance of the Company’s operating royalties to date and the expectations for production and pricing for the remainder of the year, the Company wishes to reaffirm guidance for 2022 revenue at the GBR level of US$4.5 million to US$5.5 million expected from its six operating royalties.

In Q1, the Company’s joint venture received revenue from its six operating stage royalties totaling 665 MW of nominal generation capacity. The royalty portfolio is well diversified by counterparty, contracted and market based sales strategies and regional power pools. ARR, through its 50% owned GBR joint venture (“GBR”), currently holds or is entitled to royalties on 16 operating and development stage renewable energy projects representing approximately 3,510 MW of US based wind, solar and hydro power generation projects.

During the quarter, the Company also received cash distributions from the GBR joint venture of US$20.9 million as a result of the redemption of the Apex Clean Energy investment at the end of 2021. Subsequent to March 31, there was an additional milestone based payment made by the joint venture of US$1.5 million in accordance with the terms of the Tri Global Energy LLC (“TGE”) agreement. The remaining commitment associated with the TGE investment is US$8.5 million. As at March 31, 2022 the Corporation held cash of US$69.8 million and an additional US$1.2 million was held by the 50% owned GBR joint venture.

Commenting on the quarter, Brian Dalton, CEO of ARR, said “During the past quarter the GBR joint venture business reached the milestone of achieving first positive operational cash flow with revenue now being generated from six of its sixteen royalty interests. Additional assets within the portfolio are expected to reach commercial operations later in the year and further contribute to the revenue growth profile. The team also continues to be very busy evaluating and negotiating additional royalty investment opportunities that cover a spectrum of development and operational stage wind and solar projects.“
