2012 - Boralex poised for strong growth07:00 EST Wednesday, February 20, 2013 MONTREAL, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") (TSX: BLX) maintains its EBITDA and improves its EBITDA margin at the close of fiscal 2012 despite a 6.5% decrease in revenues from energy sales. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (In millions of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts and EBITDA margin)           Three-month periods ended December 31,   Years ended December 31,   2012 2011   2012 2011 Revenues from energy sales 52.1 56.5   181.4 194.0 EBITDA 29.9 30.3   98.4 100.8 EBITDA margin (%) 57.4 53.6   54.2 52.0 Net earnings (loss) 1.2 8.2   (5.1) 2.9   Per share (basic) ($) 0.03 0.22   (0.14) 0.08 Cash flows from operations 14.1 17.6   48.6 54.2   Per share (basic) ($) 0.37 0.47   1.29 1.44 COMPANY'S EXPANSION Fiscal 2012 gave the Corporation the opportunity to transform its asset profile by significantly reducing the weight of its thermal power segment in favour of the wind power segment. With the proceeds from the December 2011 sale of the U.S. thermal power stations, coupled with its capacity to generate cash flows from operations, Boralex carried out a series of strategic acquisitions in fiscal 2012: A power supply contract for a 50 MW wind power project to be commissioned in late 2015 in the Témiscouata RCM in Québec, Canada; The 32 MW La Vallée wind power project in France to be commissioned in late 2013; The St-Patrick wind farm, also in France and already in operation, with 34.5 MW of installed capacity; Three wind power projects: Vron, Fortel-Bonnières and St-François, with a total installed capacity of 56 MW, to be commissioned in France in 2013 and 2014; and A 22 MW hydroelectric project in British Columbia, Canada to be commissioned in 2014. "For Boralex, 2012 was a transition year that saw the weight of our thermal power stations reduced in favour of assets covered by long-term contracts in the wind and hydroelectric power segments," said President and CEO Patrick Lemaire. In 2013, the transformation will be solidified by the commissioning, in particular, of  phase 1 of the Seigneurie de Beaupré wind farms, the largest wind power project ever undertaken by Boralex. This project, whose construction is, to date, within budget and on schedule, will significantly impact the Corporation's results upon its commissioning in late 2013. Boralex remains focused on its strategic growth plan, building on quality assets covered by long-term contracts in the wind and hydroelectric power segments. With projects under development, in which the Corporation owns a net share of 356 MW scheduled for commissioning from 2013 to 2015, plus available cash resources which will be used to develop around 100 MW in additional wind power, Boralex aims to double its annual EBITDA by the end of 2016. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $98.4 million compared with $100.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Corporation enjoyed higher contributions from the wind and solar power segments, which however did not fully offset lesser performances in the hydroelectric and thermal power segments. The wind power segment's contribution to EBITDA (before corporate and eliminations) for the past fiscal year, grew significantly to 53% in 2012 from 46% in 2011. The segment thus confirmed its importance to the Corporation's EBITDA margin and helped temper the adverse effects of certain extraordinary factors in the thermal power segment. The wind segment's increased contribution in 2012 was driven by the roll-out of the Corporation's strategy, under which Boralex aims to increase the percentage of its assets covered by long-term contractual agreements. This growth also reflects Boralex's ongoing commitment to optimize current operations. In 2012, Boralex continued transforming its thermal power segment: the Dolbeau power station was sold; the agreement with Hydro-Québec, under which the Senneterre power station operated only six months in 2012, remained in place; and in the fourth quarter, operations at the Kingsey Falls cogeneration power station came to an end due to the expiration of its power sales contract with Hydro-Québec. These elements contributed to a 34% decrease in segment production which also was confronted with the higher cost of natural gas at the Kingsey Falls power station. Power output of hydroelectric power stations was down 19% from fiscal 2011, and 9% from historical averages. Overall, these results were partially offset by the  performance of the St-Patrick wind power station in France, acquired late in the second quarter of 2012, as well as by annual indexation under long-term power sales contracts. From a strategic standpoint, due to the sale of thermal segment assets late in 2011 and strong cash flows related to operating activities for the past year, Boralex ended fiscal 2012 with an excellent cash position of $112 million and an asset base nearly entirely covered by long-term contracts. With this solid financial profile, Boralex is in excellent position to pursue solid growth in the coming years.

The Corporation operates under one reportable segment: power generation. The classification of these segments is based on the different cost structures relating to each of the four types of power stations. The same accounting rules are used for segmented information as for the consolidated accounts. The operating segments are presented according to the same criteria used to prepare the internal report submitted to the segment leader who allocates resources and assesses operating segment performance. The President and Chief Executive Officer is considered the segment leader, who assesses segment performance based on production of electricity, revenues from energy sales and EBITDA. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS; accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Investors should not view EBITDA as an alternative measure to, for example, net earnings (loss), or as a measure of operating results, which are IFRS measures. EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure, namely, net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of Boralex, in the following table:   Three-month periods ended December 31 Twelve-month periods ended December 31 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) (unaudited) 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of Boralex 1,238 8,187 (5,115) 2,883 Net earnings from discontinued operations (696) (4,651) (3,721) (5,489) Non-controlling shareholders 634 382 (149) (379) Income tax expense (recovery) 1,273 1,277 (2,183) (2,311) Net loss (gain) on financial instruments (103) 498 396 972 Foreign exchange loss (gain) (80) 2,386 26 (961) Financing costs 12,640 12,639 49,279 49,664 Impairment (reversal) of property, plant and intangible assets ?

Management uses this measure to assess cash flows generated by the Corporation's operations and its capacity to finance its expansion through those funds. In light of the seasonal nature of the Corporation's operations and development activities, changes in non-cash items can vary considerably. In addition, development activities result in significant changes in Trade and other payables during the construction period, as well as an initial injection of working capital at project start-up. Accordingly, the Corporation considers it more representative not to integrate changes in non-cash items in this performance measure. Investors should not consider cash flows from operations as an alternative measure to cash flows related to operating activities, which is an IFRS measure. Cash flows from operations are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure, namely, net cash flows related to operating activities, in the following table:   Three-month periods ended December 31 Twelve-month periods ended December 31 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) (unaudited) 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net cash flows related to operating activities (3,433) 4,531 47,396 66,131 Less: Change in non-cash items related to operating activities (17,551) (13,082) (1,219) 11,891           CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS 14,118 17,613 48,615 54,240 The following four tables reconcile hydroelectric and corporate segment EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of Boralex as reported in the financial statements with adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net earnings (loss):   Three-month period ended December 31 Twelve-month periods ended December 31 (in thousands of Canadian dollars) (unaudited) 2012 2011 2012 2011 EBITDA - Hydroelectric segment 9,541 11,386 36,752 41,623 Specific items:           Retroactive adjustment to taxes on water rights of hydroelectric power stations in the U.S. and Canada 717 ?
