Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
BEP generated record Funds From Operations (“FFO”) of $371 million, up 10% year over year. This was due to strong underlying operating results across its business, underpinned by its stable, inflation-linked and contracted cash flows. BEP’s results also reflect the execution of its ongoing commercial contracting activities and growth initiatives.
The firm’s hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $205 million, up over 50% year over year on the back of strong performance by its U.S. and Colombian fleets with hydrology that was above the long-term average.
BEP’s wind and solar segments generated a combined FFO of $184 million, with growth from development and acquisitions mostly offsetting the sale of one of its businesses and gains recognized last year on the sale of development assets.
Brookfield Renewable Partners’ distributed energy, storage, and sustainable solutions segments generated a combined FFO of $118 million, up 40%, driven by strong results from Westinghouse as the business continues to benefit from the growing global demand for nuclear energy.
Advanced commercial priorities secured contracts to deliver an incremental 4,300 gigawatt hours per year of generation, and signed the first-of-its-kind Hydro Framework Agreement with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric capacity in the United States.
BEP continued to execute its 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.
