BROOKFIELD, News, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (TSX: BEP.UN; NYSE: BEP) (“Brookfield Renewable Partners”, “BEP“) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

“We had another strong quarter and further solidified our position as a partner of choice to the largest buyers of clean power, signing a first of its kind agreement with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydro power in the U.S.—a testament to the unique capabilities we can provide to the best global businesses and technology companies,” said Connor Teskey, CEO of Brookfield Renewable.

He continued, “We were also successful investing in a number of highly accretive platforms and assets, such as increasing our stake in Isagen, one of our world-class hydro businesses. With scale capabilities in hydro, nuclear, wind, solar and batteries, we continue to differentiate ourselves as the global leader in providing diverse and scaled energy solutions that are critical to energy grids and needed to meet the tremendous growth in electricity demand.”

Brookfield Renewable reported record FFO of $371 million in the quarter, or $0.56 per unit, up 10% year-over-year benefiting from strong underlying operating results across our business, underpinned by our stable, inflation-linked and contracted cash flows. Our results also reflect execution of our ongoing commercial contracting activities and growth initiatives. After deducting non-cash depreciation and other expenses, our Net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $112 million.

Key highlights:

  • Advanced commercial priorities securing contracts to deliver an incremental ~4,300 gigawatt hours per year of generation and signed the first of its kind Hydro Framework Agreement (“HFA”) with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric capacity in the U.S.
     
  • Committed or deployed up to $2.6 billion (~$1.1 billion net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments, including growing our exposure to critical, scale, baseload power generating assets.
     
  • Continued to execute our asset recycling program, generating ~$1.5 billion (~$400 million net to Brookfield Renewable) in expected proceeds since the start of the second quarter, delivering strong returns and proceeds for reinvestment into growth.
     
  • Strengthened our balance sheet and ended the quarter with ~$4.7 billion in liquidity. The quarter was highlighted by the issuance of C$250 million of 30-year hybrid notes at the tightest corporate hybrid new issue spread and reset spread ever in Canada. We also successfully executed a €6.3 billion (~$7 billion) project financing for Polenergia’s offshore wind development in Poland, the largest ever project financing for our business.

We Are The Partner of Choice To The Largest Buyers Of Power Globally

Over the past decade, we have positioned our business to partner with the largest buyers of clean power globally. We are focused on investing in the lowest cost, and most critical technologies, in markets with the greatest demand, while differentiating ourselves by delivering scale, tailored solutions to our customers. In the past two years alone, we have nearly doubled our annual contracted capacity to corporate customers, strengthening our credibility and relationships in the process.

As digitalization and AI continue to reshape industries, demand for energy in developed markets is surging at a pace not seen since the industrial revolution, propelled by the growth of the global hyperscalers. These players are investing in data centers in their home market in the U.S. and strategically across the globe, resulting in the need for vast amounts of incremental round-the-clock power. As energy demand accelerates, the technologies required to meet this demand, while also supporting the reliability of the grid, are becoming more apparent.

We are strategically invested in the technologies that are required to meet both accelerating energy demand and support reliability of the grid, while enabling increased deployment of low-cost wind and solar. Today, we are one of the largest private operators of hydro facilities globally—a technology that is core to our business and which we have owned and operated for decades. We also have significant capabilities in the nuclear sector through our ownership in Westinghouse, a leading provider of mission-critical technology, services and products to the nuclear industry. And, lastly, we are now one of the largest operators and developers of batteries globally with our acquisition of Neoen that we closed earlier this year.

We are seeing the importance of these technologies recognized with their favourable treatment in The One Big Beautiful Bill, which largely maintained their full tax credit eligibility, as well as other recent developments that highlight their critical nature. Notably, technology companies are now contracting hydro and nuclear generation at scale, there have been recent executive orders in the U.S. to fast-track new nuclear capacity development, and there has been significant progress on new-build nuclear reactor projects across Europe.

We are beginning to see our strategic positioning over the past several years lead to truly differentiated opportunities for our business. This quarter, we signed the HFA with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydro capacity, the largest framework agreement for the purchase of hydroelectricity ever. We signed the first two contracts under this agreement for 670 megawatts of capacity from our Holtwood and Safe Harbor facilities at the Energy Summit with President Trump and Senator McCormick in July, securing 20-year contracts that deliver strong all-in prices and provide a near-term path to upfinancing the assets.

The HFA, along with our Renewable Energy Framework Agreement signed in May 2024 with Microsoft to deliver over 10,500 megawatts of renewable energy capacity across the U.S. and Europe, are two of the largest partnerships of their kind and these agreements underscore the demand for our assets, depth of our capabilities and the credibility earned amongst the best global businesses and technology companies.

After the quarter end, we agreed to increase our stake in our Colombian platform, Isagen, which consists primarily of fourteen operating hydro assets. The business generates almost 20% of Colombia’s electricity, and we continue to identify opportunities to drive performance improvements by leveraging our commercial relationships and marketing expertise. Our investment of up to $1 billion increases our ownership to approximately 38% and increases our exposure to a highly cash-generative, essential infrastructure business. The investment is anticipated to be approximately 2% accretive to our FFO per unit in 2026.

Our deep expertise as both an operator and investor in hydro, battery storage, and nuclear positions us strongly—not only to the benefit of our current business, but also to capitalize on future investment opportunities where we have unique competitive advantages and market leadership.

Going forward, we will continue to be active investing in the critical technologies that are required to support growing energy demand and the reliability of the grid, as well as working more with the largest buyers of power given our deep expertise, differentiated capabilities and asset base. This should assist our customers in achieving their critical path initiatives for growth, while propelling ours.

We Continue To Execute Monetizations That Deliver Strong Returns

During the quarter we continued to deliver on our capital recycling initiatives, securing strong returns and locking in the value we have created across our platforms. As we continue to ramp up our development activities, we expect our asset recycling to also increase with a larger portfolio of derisked, cash flowing infrastructure assets that are attractive to private investors with a lower cost of capital. We are now seeing the return of an increasingly strong market for monetizations and expect to be very active throughout the second half of the year.

Continuing recent momentum, this quarter we successfully closed the sale of another 25% of our Shepherds Flat wind farm, delivering strong returns. In July, we reached agreements to sell two 25% stakes in a portfolio of stable, operating U.S. hydro assets at an attractive valuation, crystallizing the value created through years of operational enhancements. Since acquiring the assets over ten years ago, we improved the performance by making high returning investments in turbine parts and monitoring systems and leveraging our power marketing expertise to more efficiently contract and manage generation. The sales of the two stakes will generate ~$520 million in expected proceeds ($250 million net to Brookfield Renewable), generating strong compound returns at the top end of our target range, and approximately 3 times our invested capital since acquisition. We expect to close the transactions at the end of 2025.

In Australia, we have made significant progress implementing our asset rotation strategy at our recently acquired development platform within Neoen, having signed or executed multiple sales at prices in line or ahead of our underwriting. These transactions will generate ~$660 million in expected proceeds ($~60 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and demonstrate how we utilize asset recycling to accretively fund and accelerate the growth of our development businesses.

Based on our advanced pipeline and the robust demand for high-quality stabilized assets produced by our development platforms, we expect total asset sale proceeds from transactions closed or signed in 2025 to exceed last year, with returns at or above our targets, illustrative of the increasing and recurring nature of asset monetizations as a highly accretive way to fund our growth.

Operating Results

In the second quarter, we generated record FFO of $371 million, or $0.56 per unit, representing a 10% increase year-over-year. The strong performance was driven by robust operating results across our portfolio. Looking to the rest of 2025, we expect to achieve our 10%+ FFO per unit annual growth target.

Our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $205 million, up over 50% year-over-year on strong performance from our U.S. and Colombian fleets with hydrology that was above the long-term average (“LTA”). The outperformance reflects a rebound from a challenging prior year for hydrology and is in line with our expectations of a reversion to the mean over the long term. The strong performance from our hydros bodes well for our overall results this year and going into 2026 given the typical multi-year cycle we see in the hydrology of our fleet.

Our wind and solar segments generated a combined FFO of $184 million with growth from development and acquisitions mostly offsetting the sale of one of our businesses and gains we recognized last year on the sale of development assets.

Our distributed energy, storage, and sustainable solutions segments contributed $118 million of FFO up almost 40%, driven by strong results from Westinghouse as the business continues to benefit from the growing global demand for nuclear energy. As global investment in nuclear increases, we expect to benefit given our leading position with half of the global operating fleet using reactors derived from Westinghouse technology.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

We ended the quarter with approximately $4.7 billion of available liquidity, providing strong flexibility for the business. We continue to employ a prudent approach to financing, enabling us to pursue growth opportunistically. Year-to-date, we have successfully completed $19 billion of financings across the business, extending maturities and optimizing our capital structure.

In June, we were successful issuing C$250 million of 30-year hybrid notes at a coupon of 5.37% with a 5-year reset at the Government of Canada yield plus a spread of 246-bps. The issuance represents the tightest corporate hybrid new issue spread and reset spread ever in Canada.

The issuance aligns with our strategy of conservatively accessing the market to optimize our capital structure as our cash flows increase. With the issuance we extended our debt maturity profile while maintaining our strong investment grade rating.

Also during the quarter, we successfully executed Brookfield Renewable’s largest ever project financing, raising €6.3 billion (~$7 billion) for our offshore wind development in Poland. We further demonstrated the strong demand for our high-quality assets and businesses, raising a $435 million long-term, fixed rate private placement for a strategic U.S. hydro asset at our lowest credit spread in 5-years for this type of financing in an offering that was multiple times oversubscribed. These financings are indicative of the strong support from lenders for derisked infrastructure assets and our significant access to scale capital.

BROOKFIELD RENEWABLE CORPORATION

REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC” or our “company”) (NYSE, TSX: BEPC) today has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.373 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BEPC (a “Share”), payable on September 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 29, 2025. This dividend is identical in amount per share and has identical record and payment dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by BEP on BEP’s LP units.

The Shares of BEPC are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the non-voting limited partnership units of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“BEP” or the “partnership”) (NYSE: BEP; TSX: BEP.UN). We believe economic equivalence is achieved through identical dividends and distributions on the Shares and BEP’s LP units and each Share being exchangeable at the option of the holder for one BEP LP unit at any time. Given the economic equivalence, we expect that the market price of the Shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of BEP’s LP units and the combined business performance of our company and BEP as a whole. In addition to carefully considering the disclosures made in this news release in its entirety, shareholders are strongly encouraged to carefully review BEP’s continuous disclosure filings available electronically on EDGAR on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

BEPC reported FFO of $198 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $219 million in the prior year. FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is lower mostly due to a reorganization in the prior year that resulted in the disposition of a fully integrated developer and operator of renewable power assets in the United States to Brookfield Renewable.

After deducting non-cash depreciation, remeasurement of shares classified as financial liability, and other non-cash items our Net loss attributable to the partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,410 million compared to a loss of $342 million in the prior year. Adjusting for the remeasurement of financial liability associated with our exchangeable shares, the Net loss attributable to the partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is $134 million compared to a loss of $65 million in the prior year.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Use of Non-IFRS Measures

This news release contains references to FFO and FFO per Unit, which are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and FFO per Unit used by other entities. We believe that FFO and FFO per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance and the cash anticipated to be generated by our operating portfolio. None of FFO and FFO per Unit should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of FFO and FFO per Unit to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures – Three Months Ended June 30” included elsewhere herein and “Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” included in our unaudited Q2 2025 interim report.
