Pattern Energy Group reported a loss of 7 cents in second-quarter 2019 versus earnings of 34 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at earnings per share of 4 cents.

Total Revenues

Second-quarter revenues amounted to $140 million, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $153 million by 8.5%. However, the total revenues were on par with the prior-year figure.

Quarterly Highlights

Pattern Energy sold 2,113,864 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity on a proportional basis compared with 2,262,811 MWh in the year-ago quarter. The 7% decline was primarily caused by volume decreases attributed to divestitures in 2018 and unfavorable wind conditions.

Total operating expenses amounted to $15 million, reflecting a drop of 11.8% from the year-ago level.

The company incurred interest expenses of $25 million compared with $28 million in the year-ago quarter.
