General
Overview
We are a leading vertically integrated company primarily engaged in the geothermal power business. We leverage our core capabilities, proprietary technologies, and global presence to expand our activities in conventional geothermal development, recovered energy generation and emerging geothermal technologies, including piloting of new EGS technologies. In addition, we are expanding into different complementary energy solutions, including stand-alone utility scale energy storage services and solar PV generation (including hybrid geothermal and solar PV as well as solar plus energy storage). Our objective is to become a leading global provider of renewable energy and to help mitigate climate change by providing reliable base-load and flexible alternatives to carbon-intensive energy sources. To support this objective, we have adopted a strategic plan focused on several key initiatives to expand our business, including advancing EGS through collaborations and pilot projects, diversifying our renewable energy offerings, and leveraging our operational expertise to drive long-term growth.
We currently conduct our business activities in three business segments:
•Electricity Segment. In the Electricity segment, we develop, build, own and operate geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based power plants in the United States and geothermal power plants in other countries around the world and sell the electricity they generate. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we derived 72.5% of our Electricity segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 27.5% from the rest of the world.
•Product Segment. In the Product segment, we design, manufacture and sell equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we derived 1.2% of our Product segment revenues from our operations in the United States and 98.8% from the rest of the world.
•Energy Storage Segment. In the Energy Storage segment, we own and operate grid connected, stand alone In Front of the Meter BESS facilities, which provide capacity, energy and/or ancillary services directly to the electric grid. We operate our facilities in three main areas in the U.S., California, Texas and the East Coast (mainly in the PJM market) and generate our revenues mainly from the sale of ancillary services in the merchant market and /or tolling agreements and RA contracts. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we derived all of our Energy Storage segment revenues from our operations in the United States.
Our current generating portfolio of approximately 1.6 GW includes geothermal power plants in the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras, Guadeloupe and Indonesia, as well as energy storage facilities, recovered energy generation and Solar PV power plants in the United States.
Recent Developments
The most significant developments in our Company and business since January 1, 2026 are described below.
•In April, we signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") with NV Energy for the Jersey Valley solar plus storage project, to be located in Lander County, Nevada, subject to Nevada PUC approval. The Jersey Valley project is expected to include approximately 67 MW of solar generation capacity paired with 67 MW / 268 MWh of battery energy storage. The project is expected to achieve commercial operation late in 2027 or early 2028. All output from the project is planned to be sold under the long-term, fixed-price PPA, supporting NV Energy's clean energy objectives while providing Ormat with predictable, long-term contracted revenues.
•In March 2026, we closed a private offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes. The offering consists of $825 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Series A Notes") and $175 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Series B Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Series B Notes" and, together with the Series A Notes, the "2031 Convertible Notes"). The 2031 Convertible Notes were sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").The Series A Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears, and the Series B Notes will not bear regular interest. Both series of 2031 Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. Holders of the Series B Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2031 Convertible Notes on March 15, 2027, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. The initial conversion price for both series reflects a premium of 30% over the Company's common stock price at the time of pricing.
•In March 2026, we commenced commercial operations of the Shirk energy storage facility, an 80MW/320MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) located in Visalia, California. The Shirk energy storage facility secures capacity under a 15-year Resource Adequacy Purchase and Sale Agreement (RA Agreement) with the City of Riverside, supporting grid reliability and helping meet California's growing demand for flexible energy resources.
The Shirk project qualifies for a 40% Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which the Company monetized the tax benefits as part of the hybrid tax equity partnership with Morgan Stanley Renewables, Inc. that Ormat announced in May 2025, which supports the funding and optimization of the Company's growing energy storage portfolio.
•In March 2026, we announced the signing and approval of amendments to the existing power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) and Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) for a portion of the output from the 35MW Casa Diablo-IV (CD4) geothermal power plant, part of our Mammoth geothermal complex in California. The amended agreements cover a total of 15MW of contracted capacity. The remaining output from the CD4 facility is sold to the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), The amended agreements extend the original PPAs, which were signed in 2022 and scheduled to expire in 2032, by five additional years through 2037. We believe the execution of these contracts is in line with the Company's "blend-and-extend" strategy, aimed at proactively re-contracting existing agreements ahead of expiration while securing improved, demand-driven economics.
•In February 2026, we entered into a long-term geothermal portfolio PPA to supply up to 150MW of new geothermal capacity to support Google's data center's energy needs, through NV Energy's Clean Transition Tariff program. The portfolio structure is expected to enable the development of multiple new geothermal projects across Nevada, with energy deliveries anticipated to commence between 2028 and 2030 as projects reach commercial operations. Per the PPA structure, the contract term begins with the first geothermal project achieving commercial operations and extends 15 years beyond the final project's commercial operations date. The agreement and related energy supply arrangements are subject to approval by the Nevada PUC, which is expected in the second half of 2026.
•In January 2026, we acquired Hoku, a recently built operational solar-plus-storage facility on the Big Island of Hawaii, from Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. for total cash consideration of $79.3 million. The acquired assets include a 30MW solar PV facility paired with a 30MW/120MWh battery energy storage system, which achieved commercial operation in March 2025 and is fully operational. All output from the facility is sold under a 25-year fixed-price power purchase agreement with HECO.
•In January 2026, we made a $25 million investment in Sage Geosystems Inc. ("Sage") as part of Sage's Series B financing round. This investment represents an important milestone in our strategy to expand our EGS portfolio and capabilities and supports the continued development and commercialization of next-generation geothermal technology. In August 2025, we also announced the signing of a strategic commercial agreement with Sage. Under the terms of the agreement, Sage will pilot its advanced pressure geothermal technology to extract geothermal heat energy from hot dry rock at an existing Ormat power plant. This collaboration aims to significantly reduce the time needed to bring geothermal energy to market and is expected to enhance the Company's operational efficiency while accelerating the implementation of next-generation geothermal solutions. The strategic commercial agreement was closed.
•In January 2026, we were awarded the Telaga Ranu geothermal working area concession in Indonesia following a competitive tender process. The concession is located in Halmahera, North Maluku, within one of Indonesia's highest approved feed-in tariff zones and has the potential to support up to approximately 40MW of baseload geothermal generation capacity. This award strengthens our long-term development pipeline and supports our continued growth strategy in Indonesia.
•In January 2026, we entered into a new 20-year PPA with Switch, Inc., a leading provider of data center infrastructure, pursuant to which Switch will purchase approximately 13MW of carbon-free geothermal capacity from our Salt Wells geothermal power plant located near Fallon, Nevada. Under the agreement, energy deliveries are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2030, following the completion of a planned major upgrade to the Salt Wells facility. As part of the agreement, we also have the rights to further expand the facility's output through the addition of an approximately 17MW solar PV facility to support the plant's auxiliary power needs.
Trends and Uncertainties
Different trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee. However, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by trends, factors and uncertainties discussed in our 2025 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation", in addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report. These trends, factors and uncertainties are, from time to time, also subject to market cycles.
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 94.7% of our Electricity segment revenues were derived from PPAs with fixed energy rates, which are not affected by fluctuations in energy commodity prices. We have a variable price PPA in Hawaii, which provides for payments based on the local utilities' avoided cost, which is the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others. In Hawaii, the prices paid
for electricity pursuant to the 25MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil, as well as other commodities. In 2024, the HPUC approved a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and an extension of the term until 2052, which we expect to be in effect in 2027.
To comply with obligations under their respective PPAs, certain of our project subsidiaries are structured as special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities and their assets and liabilities are ring-fenced. Such assets are not generally available to pay our debt, other than debt at the respective project subsidiary level. However, these project subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends and make distributions of cash flows generated by their assets to us, subject in some cases to restrictions in debt instruments, as described below.
Electricity segment revenues are also subject to seasonal variations and are affected by higher-than-average ambient temperatures, as described below under "Seasonality". These variations became severe in recent years due to extreme weather events and in some cases cannot be forecasted.
Revenues attributable to our Product segment are based on the sale of equipment, engineering, procurement and construction contracts and the provision of various services to our customers, or as related to the Dominica project, under a BOT agreement with the Commonwealth of Dominica. Product segment revenues vary from period to period because of the timing of our receipt of purchase orders and the progress of our equipment manufacturing and execution of the relevant project.
Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment are generated by several grid-connected BESS facilities that we own and operate from selling energy, capacity and/or ancillary services in merchant markets like PJM Interconnect, ISO New England, ERCOT and CAISO or under tolling agreements that have fixed revenues. The revenues fluctuate over time since a large portion of such revenues are generated in the merchant markets, where price volatility is inherent. We are seeking to reduce volatility by increasing the amount of long-term tolling agreements in our portfolio. In the two solar PV plus energy storage facilities, although the solar capacity is included in the Electricity Segment portfolio, 100% of the revenues are recorded under the Energy Storage segment.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 55.8% and 32.4% of our total revenues, respectively, were derived from foreign locations. Our foreign operations had higher Electricity gross margins than our U.S. operations in each of those periods. A substantial portion of Electricity segment foreign revenues came from Kenya and to a lesser extent, from Honduras, Guadeloupe and Guatemala. Our operations in Kenya contributed disproportionately to gross profit and net income. The contribution to combined pre-tax income of our domestic and foreign operations within our Electricity segment and Product segment differ in a number of ways, as summarized below.
Electricity Segment. Our Electricity segment domestic revenues were approximately 72.5% and 74.5% of our total Electricity segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our Electricity segment foreign revenues were approximately 27.5% and 25.5% of our total Electricity segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. However, domestic operations have higher costs of revenues and expenses than our foreign operations. Our foreign power plants are located in lower-cost regions, like Kenya, Guatemala, and Honduras, which favorably impact payroll, maintenance expenses and other items. Our power plants in those foreign locations are also newer than most of our domestic power plants and therefore tend to have lower maintenance costs and higher availability factors than our domestic power plants. Consequently, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our foreign operations of the segment accounted for 22.6% and 34.8%, respectively, of our total gross profits, 30.1% and 38.1%, respectively, of our net income (assuming the majority of corporate operating expenses and financing are recorded under our domestic jurisdiction), and 26.3% and 26.5%, respectively, of our EBITDA.
Product Segment. Our Product segment foreign revenues were approximately 98.8% and 89.8% of our total Product segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Energy Storage Segment. Our Energy Storage segment domestic revenues were 100% of our total Energy Storage segment revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Seasonality
Electricity generation from some of our geothermal power plants is subject to seasonal variations. In the winter, our power plants produce more energy primarily attributable to the lower ambient temperature, which has a favorable impact on the energy component of our Electricity segment revenues as the prices under many of our contracts are fixed throughout the year with no time-of-use impact. The prices paid for electricity under the PPAs for the Mammoth Complex and the North Brawley power plant in California, the Raft River power plant in Idaho, the Neal Hot Springs power plant in Oregon and Dixie Valley power plant in Nevada, are higher in the months of June through September. The higher payments payable under these PPAs in the summer months partially offset the negative impact on our revenues from lower generation in the summer attributable to a higher ambient temperature. As a result, we expect the revenues and gross profit in the winter months to be higher than the revenues and gross profit in the summer months and in general we expect the first and fourth quarters to generate higher revenues than the second and third quarters. In the Energy Storage segment pursuant to the Bottleneck tolling agreement, approximately 45% of the revenues are generated in the third quarter, and the rest is roughly even between the first, second and fourth quarters. In addition, we see in the last two years higher revenues during the first quarter and fourth quarter due to high merchant pricing at PJM market.
Breakdown of Cost of Revenues
The principal cost of revenues attributable to our three segments are discussed in our 2025 Annual Report under "Part II - Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates and assumptions is included in our 2025 Annual Report under "Part II, Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Electricity Segment
Revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $181.6 million, compared to $180.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $1.4 million was mainly attributable to: (i) $3.2 million related to the Blue Mountain power plant which was purchased in June 2025; (ii) $4.3 million related to the Olkaria power plant primarily due increase in generation resulting from a successful drilling of additional wells, reduction in curtailments and better resource utilization; and (iii) $2.8 million related to the Dixie Valley power plant primarily as a result of reduction in curtailments from SCE. This increase was partially offset by: (i) $3.7 million decrease in revenues in our Puna power plant, primarily due to reduction in Puna's energy rates that are tied to oil prices as well as lower generation due to adverse weather during the first quarter of 2026 which disrupted the power plant operations; (ii) $3.3 million decrease in revenues in our Heber complex primarily due to planned maintenance work. In addition, unfavorable ambient temperatures in the first quarter of 2026 resulted in a decline in generation and, consequently, in revenues across our fleet and primarily in Steamboat with a $1.0 million reduction, the MGH complex with a $0.9 million reduction, and at Stillwater with a $0.4 million reduction.
Power generation in our power plants increased by 2.6% from 1,978,078 MWh in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 2,029,630 MWh in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Product Segment
Revenues attributable to our Product segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $177.4 million, compared to $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $145.6 million, or 458.4%, is primarily related to: (i) the sale of the TOPP2 power plant in New Zealand for which revenues of $105.1 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2026 upon meeting all revenue recognition criteria during that quarter; and (ii) the progress in our other projects and timing of when revenues are recognized during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, Product revenues included projects primarily in New Zealand and Turkey, and during the three months ended March 31, 2025, projects in New Zealand and Dominica.
Energy Storage Segment
Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $44.9 million compared to $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $27.2 million is primarily related to higher energy rates at PJM storage facilities in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the previous year, and $3.9 million from new energy storage facilities such as Arrowleaf which commenced commercial operation in December 2025 and Hoku which was acquired in January 2026.
Total Cost of Revenues
The table below compares cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | Change | |||||||||||||||

Electricity Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $125.7 million, compared to $119.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $5.9 million, or 4.9%. This increase is primarily attributable to $2.0 million related to the Blue Mountain power plant which was purchased in June 2025, $2.4 million increase in power plant depreciation expenses, as a result of our investment in our power plant, and to other smaller amount increases in certain other power plants.
Our total Electricity segment cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 69.2% of Electricity segment revenues, compared to 66.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The cost of revenues attributable to our international power plants for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 18.1% of our total Electricity segment cost of revenues for this period compared to 17.2% for the same period in the prior year.
Product Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $139.4 million, compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represented a 464.8% increase. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in Product segment revenues, including the sale of the TOPP2 power plant, as discussed above. As a percentage of total Product segment revenues, total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, was 78.6% and 77.7%, respectively, which results from the different profitability of the different projects included in each period.
Energy Storage Segment
Cost of revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $18.4 million compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $6.1 million includes an increase of $2.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and is primarily related to the new energy storage facilities such as Arrowleaf, Lower Rio and Hoku as described above under the Energy Storage segment revenues caption.
Research and Development Expenses, Net
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $1.1 million, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in research and development expenses, net is primarily related to the timing of when we allocate resources to research and development projects.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $5.6 million compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 constituted 1.4% and 1.8% of total revenues, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $27.3 million compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 constituted 6.8% and 7.8% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $9.4 million is primarily attributable to: (i) higher consulting fees in the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $1.6 million, out of which $0.8 million is related to the Hoku purchase transaction, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and (ii) the settlement agreement amount related to the Engie Resources, LLC lawsuit, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.9 million related to a different legal settlement which was included in the same period of the previous year.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.1 million compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Other operating income primarily represents the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages received from a third-party battery systems supplier as part of a settlement agreement entered into in August 2024, for which contingency conditions have been met.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $8.1 million is related to the Pomona 1 battery energy storage facility. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company approved a project to construct the new Pomona 3 storage facility which will replace the existing Pomona 1 storage facility. The Pomona 1 storage facility is scheduled for demolishing in late 2026 to facilitate the construction of the new storage facility. There was no impairment of long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Write-off of Unsuccessful Exploration and Storage Activities
Write-off of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. These write-offs are primarily related to geothermal exploration and storage projects that the Company decided to no longer pursue.
Interest Income
Interest Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.4 million, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest income is primarily related to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held by the Company during the period.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $45.0 million, compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase of $10.5 million was primarily attributable to interest expense relating to loan agreements and tax monetization transactions entered into subsequently to the first quarter of 2025, as well as lower amount of interest capitalized due to the completion of certain of construction-in-process projects. This increase was partially offset by lower interest expenses on other existing loans as a result of their scheduled payments.
Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transaction Gains (Losses)
Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was a loss of $1.5 million, compared to a gain of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains and losses primarily include gain and losses from foreign currency forward and option contracts which were not accounted for as hedge transactions, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar.
Income Attributable to Sale of Tax Benefits
Income attributable to the sale of tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $16.6 million, compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This income primarily represents the value of PTCs and taxable income or loss generated by certain of our power plants which are allocated to investors under tax equity transactions, and to income related to the expected sale of transferable PTCs under the existing IRA regulations.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net
Other non-operating income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an expense of $23.1 million, compared to an income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Other non-operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is primarily related to the induced conversion expense of $33.7 million resulting from the repurchase of the 2027 Convertible Notes, offset primarily by a bargain purchase gain of $9.6 million related to the purchase transaction of the Hoku storage and solar facility.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $15.5 million compared to income tax benefit of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This change primarily relates to the generation of additional investment tax credits, the jurisdictional mix of earnings at differing tax rate, and the change in "Income from operations before income tax and equity in earnings of investees". Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was (54.0)% and (10.1)%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the generation of investment tax credits, the non-deductible induced conversion expense on the 2027 Convertible Notes, the permanent difference of the bargain purchase gain related to the purchase of Hoku, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings at differing tax rates.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Investees, Net
Equity in earnings of investees, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was earnings of $0.5 million, compared to losses of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net is derived from our 12.75% share in the earnings or losses in the Sarulla Consortium ("Sarulla") and our 49% share in the earnings or losses in the Ijen geothermal project.
Net Income Attributable to the Company's Stockholders
Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $44.1 million, compared to $40.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of $3.7 million. This increase is attributable to an increase of $3.6 million in net income which was affected by the explanations described above, and a decrease of $0.1 million in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, which is primarily related to the noncontrolling share in the net results of the Puna and Guadeloupe power plants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been derived from cash flows from operations, proceeds from third party debt such as borrowings under our credit facilities, private or public offerings and issuances of debt or equity securities, project financing and tax monetization transactions, short term borrowing under our lines of credit, and proceeds from the sale of equity interests in one or more of our projects. We have utilized this cash to develop and construct power plants, fund our acquisitions, pay down existing outstanding indebtedness, and meet our other cash and liquidity needs.
As of March 31, 2026, we had access to (i) $654.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $183.4 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries; and (ii) $385.4 million of unused corporate borrowing capacity under existing committed lines for credit and letters of credit with different commercial banks.
Our estimated capital needs for the remainder of 2026 include $587 million for capital expenditures on new projects under development or construction including energy storage projects, exploration activity and maintenance capital expenditures for our existing projects. In addition, $224.0 million will be needed for long-term debt repayment.
We expect to finance these requirements with: (i) the sources of liquidity described above; (ii) positive cash flows from our operations; and (iii) future project financings and re-financings (including construction loans and tax equity transactions). Management believes that, based on the current stage of implementation of our strategic plan, the sources of liquidity and capital resources described above will address our anticipated liquidity, capital expenditures, and other investment requirements.
As of March 31, 2026, we continue to maintain our assertion to no longer indefinitely reinvest foreign funds held by our foreign subsidiaries, and have accrued the incremental foreign withholding taxes. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we included a foreign income tax expense of $0.2 million related to foreign withholding taxes on accumulated earnings of all of our foreign subsidiaries.
As further described under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into the new indenture agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the issuance of $1.0 billion of convertible senior notes due March 15, 2031.
Letters of Credits Under Credit Agreements
Some of our customers require our project subsidiaries to post letters of credit in order to guarantee their respective performance under relevant contracts. We are also required to post letters of credit to secure our obligations under various leases and licenses and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. In addition, our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, is required from time to time to post performance letters of credit in favor of our customers with respect to orders of products.

Restrictive Covenants
Our obligations under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds described above, are unsecured, but we are subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants. These include, among other things, restraints on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over our assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of our assets, or a change of control in our ownership structure. Some of the credit agreements, the term loan agreements, and the trust instrument contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third party. In some cases, we have agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least $750 million and in no event less than 25% of total assets; and (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6. As of March 31, 2026: (i) total equity was $2,708.5 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 40.0% and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.15. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we distributed interim dividends in an aggregate amount of $7.5 million. The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in such agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.
As described above, we are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to the credit agreements, the loan agreements and the trust instrument (except as described below), and believe that the restrictive covenants, financial ratios and other terms of any of our full-recourse bank credit agreements will not materially impact our business plan or operations.
As of March 31, 2026, we did not meet the dividend distribution criteria related to the DAC 1 Senior Secured Notes, which resulted in certain equity distribution restrictions from this related subsidiary. As of March 31, 2026, the amount restricted for distribution by these subsidiaries was $1.4 million. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, we were not in compliance with the Platanares DFC Loan finance agreement due to a breach of payment terms by the offtaker under the PPA. As a result of this breach, the carrying value of the Platanares DFC Loan of $51.9 million was classified as a current liability. As of March 31, 2026, the amount restricted for distribution by this subsidiary was $2.0 million. We are proactively working to collect the overdue amounts and believe it is probable that the breach of payment terms by the offtaker will be cured. There were no restrictions on the retained earnings or net income of Ormat Technologies, Inc., as the parent company, in respect of these matters, as of March 31, 2026.
Future minimum payments
Future minimum cash payments under long-term obligations (including long-term debt, lease obligations and financing liability), as of March 31, 2026, are as follows:

(1) Financing Liability
The financing liability is related to the sale and lease back transaction of the Dixie Valley power plant which was acquired as part of the business combination transaction of the Terra-Gen geothermal assets in July 2021. The financing liability bears a fixed interest rate of 5.98% per annum, principal and interest are payable semi-annually, and it matures in June 2038.
(2) Convertible Notes
The 2027 Convertible Notes were issued in June 2022 in a single series of a $431.3 million aggregate principal amount. The 2027 Convertible Notes bear annual interest at a rate of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023. The 2027 Convertible Notes mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. In July 2024, the Company issued an additional $45.2 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% 2027 Convertible Notes.
The 2031 Convertible Notes, including the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes, were issued in March 2026. We issued $825 million aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes and $175 million aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes.
The Series A Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears, and the Series B Notes will not bear regular interest. Both series of 2031 Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Holders of the Series B Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2031 Convertible Notes on March 15, 2027, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $78.6 million, compared to $88.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $9.4 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to net income of $44.6 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, write-offs of long-lived assets and unsuccessful exploration activities, income attributable to the sale of tax benefits, bargain purchase gain and deferred income tax provision, among others, and primarily by: (i) a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $13.6 million as a result of the timing of payments to our suppliers; (ii) a net change of $19.2 million in the short and long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and short-term billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, as a result of the timing of billing to our customers; (iii) a net increase in trade receivables of $3.9 million, due to the timing of collection from our customers; and (iv) a $24.8 million gain from the sale of the TOPP2 power plant. This was partially offset by: (i) $33.7 million expense related to the induced conversion of the 2027 Convertible Notes; (ii) a net decrease of $7.5 million in prepaid expenses and other related to timing of payments; and (iii) a net decrease in inventories of $1.1 million, primarily related to the timing of allocating costs to projects under construction. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to net income of $41.0 million for the period, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, income attributable to the sale of tax benefits, and deferred income tax provision, among others, and primarily by a net decrease of $22.2 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, as a result of the timing of billing to our customers. This was partially offset by: (i) a net increase in trade receivables of $14.6 million, due to the timing of collection from our customers; (ii) a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $11.8 million as a result of the timing of payments to our suppliers; and (iii) a net increase in inventories of $4.0 million, primarily related to the timing of allocating costs to projects under construction.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $124.5 million, compared to $207.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The principal factors that affected our net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 were: (i) capital expenditures of $113.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $192.6 million, in the same period of the prior year, primarily for our facilities under construction that support our growth plan; and (ii) cash paid for the business acquisition of the Hoku solar and storage facility of $78.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to none in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash flow from investing activities included $93.1 million in proceeds from the sale of the TOPP2 power plant as further described under note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $528.7 million, compared to $138.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The principal factors that affected the net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were: (i) net proceeds of $976.5 million from issuance of the 2031 Convertible Notes; (ii) proceeds of $46.4 million from tax monetization transactions received during the period; (iii) net proceeds of $5.2 million from long-term loans received during the period; and (iii) cash received from noncontrolling interest in the amount of $5.5 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by: (i) partial prepayment of the 2027 Convertible Notes of $310.9 million; (ii) net cash paid for revolving credit lines with banks of $80.0 million; (iii) scheduled repayments of long-term debt in the amount of $70.6 million; (iv) purchase of treasury stock of $24.4 million; (v) cash paid in relation to debt issuance and line of credit transactions of $8.6 million; (vi) cash dividend payment of $7.5 million; and (vii) cash paid to noncontrolling interest of $2.4 million. The principal factors that affected our net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were: (i) net proceeds of $199.6 million from long-term loans entered into during the period; and (ii) cash received from noncontrolling interest in the amount of $10.3 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by: (i) scheduled repayments of long-term debt in the amount of $57.7 million; (ii) cash paid to noncontrolling interest of $3.0 million; and (iii) a cash dividend payment of $7.3 million.
Non-GAAP Measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses fro m accounting for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments; (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs; (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities; (v) cost related to a settlement agreement; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities; (viii) allowance for bad debts; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor's ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Board of Directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $44.6 million, compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $194.9 million, compared to $150.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures primarily relate to: (i) the development and construction of new power plants, (ii) the enhancement of our existing power plants; and (iii) investment in activities under our strategic plan.
The following is an overview of projects that are fully released for construction:
Zunil Upgrade (Guatemala). We are expanding the Zunil geothermal power plant in Guatemala to add 5MW of additional capacity. We are planning to sell the electricity generated under the existing PPA with the local utility, Institute Nacional de Electrification or "INDE". Construction has been completed and drilling was delayed to 2026.
Bouillante Repowering (Guadeloupe). We are currently in the process of upgrading the Bouillante project and planning to install a new Ormat energy converter that will add net capacity of 10MW. Construction is progressing and the PPA was signed. We expect commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Dominica. We are developing the 10MW Dominica geothermal power plant in the Dominica Island. We signed a 25-year PPA with the local utility. At the end of the agreement term, ownership of the power plant will be transferred to the local Government. Construction has been completed, however, the main transmission line is unstable (by the local utility), causing delays in commercial operation that now is expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Cove Fort Upgrade (U.S.). We are upgrading the power plant that was purchased in January 2024 to add 7MW. Construction is ongoing and we expect commercial operation in the second quarter of 2026.
Stillwater Upgrade (U.S.). We are upgrading the power plant that was purchased in January 2024 to add 5MW. The upgrade has been completed with a partial 2MW contribution to the power plant. We expect the rest of the MW to contribute in Q1 2027.
Salt Wells Upgrade (U.S.). We are upgrading the power plant that was purchased in January 2024 to add 5MW. Construction is ongoing and we expect commercial operation in the third quarter of 2026.
Blue Mountain Upgrade (U.S.). We are upgrading the power plant that was purchased in June 2025 to add 3.5MW. Engineering and procurement is ongoing and commercial operation is expected to start in the first half of 2027.
Heber Complex (U.S.) We are currently in the process of upgrading the Heber complex. We are planning to add a new 23MW power plant and increase the operating power plants by an additional 2MW. Engineering and procurement is ongoing and we expect commercial operation in the second half of 2027.
Greenfield (U.S.). We are developing a 30MW geothermal power plant in Nevada. Engineering and procurement commenced and we expect commercial operation at the end of 2027 or early 2028.
In addition, we are in the process of repowering the Puna power plant, and upgrades at the Steamboat complex, San Emidio and Neal Hot Springs.
In the Energy Storage segment, we are currently in the process of constructing several facilities as detailed below:

(*) Represents our share of two projects, which are joint ventures.
We have budgeted approximately $815.0 million in capital expenditures for the construction of new projects and enhancements to our existing power plants in the Electricity segment, of which we had invested $238.0 million as of March 31, 2026. We expect to invest approximately $260.0 million in the rest of 2026 and the remaining amount of approximately $317.0 million thereafter.
In addition, we estimate approximately $327.0 million in additional capital expenditures in 2026 to be allocated as follows: (i) approximately $139.0 million for the exploration, drilling and development of new projects and enhancements of existing power plants that are not yet released for full construction; (ii) approximately $36.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures for our operating power plants; (iii) approximately $20 million related to our EGS activities; (iv) approximately $111.0 million for the construction and development of energy storage projects; (iv) approximately $11 million related to business development activities; and (v) approximately $9.0 million for enhancements to our production facilities.
In the aggregate, we estimate our total capital expenditures for the rest of 2026 to be approximately $587 million.
Exposure to Market Risks
Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our activities and execute our business plans. However, due to various factors (including those discussed in "-General-Trends and Uncertainties" in this quarterly report and in the same section of Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2025 Annual Report), the cost of obtaining financing for our project needs may increase significantly or such financing may be difficult to obtain.
We, like other power plant operators, are exposed to electricity price volatility risk. Our exposure to such market risk is currently limited because the majority of our long-term PPAs have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices, except for the 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex. Our energy storage projects sell primarily on a "merchant" basis and are exposed to changes in the electricity market prices. The prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities. Accordingly, our revenues from this power plant may fluctuate. In 2024, the HPUC approved a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and an extension of the term until 2052, which we expect to be in effect in early 2027.
As of March 31, 2026, 87.7% of our consolidated long-term debt was at fixed interest rates, and therefore not subject to interest rate volatility risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we issued the 2031 Convertible Notes of which Series A bears a fixed annual interest rate of 1.5% and Series B bears an interest rate of 0.0%. Our short-term commercial paper, which was issued on October 23, 2023, bears an annual interest rate of three months SOFR plus 1.1%, therefore presenting an exposure to interest rate volatility. The outstanding amount of the short-term commercial paper as of March 31, 2026 was $100.0 million.
Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, money market funds, corporate bonds and debt securities available for sale (with a minimum investment grade rating of A+ by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services).
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") in Israel, the Euro in Guadeloupe, and the New-Zealand Dollar in respect with our operations there. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when we, or any of our foreign subsidiaries, borrow funds or incur operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receive revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary's ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary, or increase such subsidiary's overall expenses. In Kenya, the tax related asset and liability are recorded in Kenyan Shillings ("KES"), therefore, any change in the exchange rate in the KES versus the U.S. dollar has an impact on our financial results. Risks attributable to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates can also arise when the currency denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our PPAs in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar except for our operations on Guadeloupe, where we own and operate the Bouillante power plant which sells its power under a Euro-denominated PPA with Électricité de France S.A. Our construction contracts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. The way we often mitigate such risk is to receive part of the proceeds from the contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have forward, option and cross-currency swap contracts in place to reduce our NIS/U.S. dollar currency exposure related to our Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4, as detailed below, and expect to continue to use currency exchange and other derivative instruments to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure.
On July 1, 2020, we concluded an auction tender and accepted subscriptions for senior unsecured bonds comprised of NIS 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount (the "Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4"). The Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4 were issued in New Israeli Shekels and converted to approximately $290 million using a cross-currency swap transaction shortly after the completion of such issuance.
We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair values of our long-term debt obligations, commercial paper and foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts. The foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts listed below principally relate to trading activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing and decreasing forward and spot rates at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair values.
At this time, the development of our strategic plan has not exposed us to any additional market risk. However, as the implementation of the plan progresses, we may be exposed to additional or different market risks.
The results of the sensitivity analysis calculations as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are presented below:

Effect of Inflation
Over the last five years, although to a lesser extent since 2024, we experienced an increase in the overall operating and other costs as a result of higher inflation rates, in particular in the U.S. To address the possibility of rising inflation, some of our contracts include certain provisions that mitigate inflation risk.
In connection with the Electricity segment, none of our U.S. PPAs, including the SCPPA Portfolio PPA, are directly linked to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), although some of them have a fixed annual indexation. Inflation may directly impact the expenses we incur for the operation of our projects, thereby increasing our overall operating costs and reducing our profit and gross margin. The negative impact of inflation would be partially offset by price adjustments built into some of our PPAs that could be triggered upon such occurrences. In addition to the Puna rates that are impacted by higher commodity prices, the energy payments pursuant to our PPAs for some of our power plants such as the Brady power plant, the Steamboat 2 and 3 power plants and the McGinness Complex increase every year through the end of the relevant terms of such agreements, although such increases are not directly linked to the CPI or any other inflationary index. Lease payments are generally fixed, while royalty payments are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues and therefore are not significantly impacted by inflation. In our Product segment, inflation may directly impact fixed and variable costs incurred in the construction of third-party power plants, thereby lowering our profit margins at the Product segment. We are more likely to be able to offset long term, all or part of this inflationary impact through our project pricing. With respect to power plants that we build for our own electricity production, inflationary pricing may impact our operating costs which may be partially offset in the pricing of the new long-term PPAs that we negotiate.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We have various contractual obligations, which are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated condensed financial statements. Other items are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated condensed financial statements but are required to be disclosed. There have been no material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk is currently concentrated with the following major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy), SCPPA and KPLC. If any of these electric utilities fail to make payments under its PPAs with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Also, as we implement our multi-year strategic plan we may be exposed, by expanding our customer base, to different credit profile customers than our current customers.
The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||||||
| Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company | 9.8 | % | 16.1 | % | ||||||||||
| Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") | 11.5 | 22.0 | ||||||||||||
| Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") | 7.9 | 12.1 | ||||||||||||
The Company has historically been able to collect on substantially all of its receivable balances. As of March 31, 2026, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $31.3 million of which $16.4 million was paid in April 2026. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts from KPLC. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of March 31, 2026, the total amount overdue from Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica ("ENEE") was $26.5 million of which $1.0 million was paid in April 2026. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may experience further delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts from ENEE.
Government Grants and Tax Benefits
A comprehensive discussion on government grants and tax benefits is included in "Part II - Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" of our 2025 Annual Report, as updated by "General-Trends and Uncertainties" in Part I, Item 2 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
