VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2024 / Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV)(OTCQB:REVVF) ("Revolve" or the "Company"), a North American owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects, is pleased to report its financial results for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2024 ("Q3 FY2024"). All amounts reported are in US dollars.
Tania Ontiveros, CFO of Revolve commented, "This is the Company's first quarter since completing the acquisition of WindRiver, which has allowed us to report a 65% increase in revenues over the same period last year. Momentum is building across the various parts of the business and we look forward to reporting further progress over the coming months."
Key Business & Financial Highlights in Q3 2024
- Total revenues for the 3 month period to March 31, 2024 of US$337,439 consisting of electricity generation revenue from our operational DG portfolio and the Box Springs Wind project since the acquisition of WindRiver Power Corporation ("WindRiver") closed in mid-February. Total revenues for the 9 month period to the same date were US$1,668,201, representing a 65% increase on the same period in FY2023. This included (i) the milestone payment received in August 2023 from the sale of the Parker Solar & Storage project (ii) electricity generation sales from the operating DG portfolio and Box Springs Wind project and (iii) asset management income from the operation of the Hunter Creek and Sakwi Creek Hydro projects.
- Renewable energy generation from the Company's operational projects was 3,877,342kWh for the 3 month period to March 31, 2024 and 4,822,522kWh for the 9 month period to March 31, 2024.
- During the quarter the Company completed the acquisition of WindRiver, a Canadian based renewable energy operator and developer with interests in a number of operating hydro and wind projects as well as a hydro project development pipeline (https://revolve-renewablepower.com/revolve-completes-acquisition-of-windriver-power-corporation-a-canadian-renewable-energy-operator-and-developer/).
- Distributed Generation ("DG") assets under construction remained at 3.45MW with permitting work continuing on the 3MW CHP project and installation work continuing on the 450kWp rooftop solar project both located in Mexico.
- Distribution Generation assets under development remained stable at c.140MW with a continued focus on converting this pipeline into signed power purchase agreements ("PPAs") Letters of Intent ("LOI") have been signed for a number of new DG projects with a combined capacity of 2.22MW. Progress has been slow in converting these to signed PPAs as customers are delaying final decisions until post the Mexican government elections in early June 2024. We remain hopeful that PPAs can be signed for these projects prior to the year end FY2024.
- Development work across our utility scale portfolio continues to be focused on the 80MWh/20MW Vernal BESS and 49.5MW Primus Wind projects in the US. An interconnection agreement was signed for the Vernal BESS project in April this year and the project remains on track to reach ready to build status within the next 12 months. The Primus Wind project is expected to complete the interconnection process in the coming months and a ready to build date within the next 12 months is also targeted for this project.
- The Company remains well positioned in the Mexican utility scale market with over 500MW of wind projects in mid to late stage development. As reported in our Q2 FY2024 financial results we are continuing to see signs of improving market conditions in Mexico and growing interest in renewable power purchase agreements from large corporates.
- We continue to analyse new greenfield development projects in Canada and the US with a view to adding further capacity to our pipeline by the end of FY2024. Limited transmission capacity and congested interconnection queues remain an issue for developers leading to the Company being selective in what opportunities are being pursued.
- Net Loss for the quarter ending March 31, 2024 was US$1,167,546 compared with a Net Profit of US$523,085 for the quarter ending March 31, 2023. The Company recorded a Net Loss for the 9 month period to March 31, 2024 of US$667,027 compared with a Net Loss of $235,972 for the 9 month period to March 31, 2023.
- Cash on balance sheet as at March 31, 2024 was US$1,295,455 following completion of the final tranche of the private placement during January 2024 as well as the consolidation of cash held by WindRiver and the Box Springs Wind project.

Forward Looking Information
Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"). Non-IFRS measures and industry metrics do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. The term EBITDA consists of net loss or gain and excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable measure to EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is net gain or net loss. The term EBITDA margin consists of the percentage of net loss or gain and excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These measures, have limitations, and are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our filings on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca and posted on our website.
Financial Projections
The Company's financial projections are inherently speculative and may prove to be inaccurate. Any financial projections provided in this press release have been prepared in good faith based upon the estimates and assumptions considered reasonable by management. However, projections are no more than estimates of possible events and should not be relied upon to predict the results that the Company may attain. Future oriented financial information in this press release includes statements with respect to (i) revenues and EBITDA for FY2023; and (ii) that the Company's revenue will increase to US$5m and that it will have a break-even EBITDA for FY2024; and (iii) that it's increase in revenue and EBITDA will be driven by the Company's existing operational distribution generation portfolio as well as further contingent milestone payments from utility scale projects previously sold to 3rd parties. There is a risk that the conditions related to these contingent payments may not be met and therefore the payments will not be received by the Company, which would materially impact the Company's FY2024 projected revenues and EBITDA. The projections are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions and have not been examined, reviewed or compiled by independent accountants or other third-party experts, including assumptions with respect to the Company's anticipated expenses and future revenues from the Company's existing operational distribution generation portfolio as well as further milestone payments from utility scale projects previously sold to 3rd parties. These assumptions may vary from the actual results. Accordingly, there is no assurance that future events will correspond to management's assumptions or that actual results during the periods covered will approximate the financial projections. Any variations of actual results from projections may be material and adverse. Future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks, as with forward-looking information generally, are, without limitation, based on the reasonable assumptions of the Company and management as at the date hereof. Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from management's current expectations and, as a result, our revenue, profitability, EBITDA may differ materially from any revenue, and profitability profiles provided in this press release. Such information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of our actual financial position or results of operations.
Revolve does not provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as Revolve is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various events that have not yet occurred, are out of Revolve's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. For these same reasons, Revolve is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
