Innergex Renewable Energy’s financial performance for the second quarter of 2024 has raised eyebrows as the company reported a net income of $23.01 million, marking a 7.2% decline compared to the same period in 2023. Excluding non-recurring items, the firm posted an adjusted net loss of $3.86 million, a stark contrast to the adjusted net income of $11.26 million reported in the same quarter of the previous year. Electrical production showed a slight increase to 2.97 million MWh, up 0.7%. However, the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) plunged to $172.91 million, down 7.5% from $186.99 million last year.
The dip in revenues stretched across Innergex’s hydroelectric, wind, and solar sectors, descending by 7.0%, 0.65%, and 13.0%, respectively. President and CEO Michel Letellier attributed the lower-than-expected performance to resource shortcomings in different operating regions. Despite these setbacks, Letellier remains positive about the industry’s future growth potential and reaffirmed Innergex’s commitment to advancing profitable projects that benefit both shareholders and the environment. Hydro-Québec, which holds a 19.9% stake in the company, continues to be the main shareholder. This situation emphasizes Innergex’s effort towards proactive asset management while acknowledging the resource-related challenges impacting their financial results.
