VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV)(OTCQB:REVVF) ("Revolve" or the "Company"), a North American owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects, reported its financial results for the year ended June 30, 2024 ("FY2024"). This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis, which are available on the Company's website at www.revolve-renewablepower.com and have been posted on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. All amounts reported are in US dollars.
FY2024 marked significant progress for the Company as it continues its transition to an owner and operator of renewable energy projects incorporating a focus on building long term recurring revenue and cashflow for the business.
Steve Dalton, CEO of Revolve commented: "We are delighted to report our strongest set of financial results since becoming a public company in 2022. Success in delivering against development milestones for the Bouse & Parker projects enabled the company to earn significant revenue from the sale transaction completed with ENGIE. This revenue has allowed the Company to continue to invest in building our long term sustainable revenue base through the acquisition of WindRiver and the construction of further DG assets.
The Company has moved into FY2025 with growing momentum behind the business driven by strong development progress in the US on our Vernal BESS and Primus Wind projects. We also look forward to the launch of the Mexican Governments new energy plan before the end of the year as well as continued progress on the Bouse & Parker project by ENGIE, where the Company has the potential to generate a further US$50m+ in revenues over the coming years."
The Company is reporting revenues of US$6,742,297 for FY2024, a 35% increase from its previous revenue forecast of US$6m (https://revolve-renewablepower.com/revolve-revises-fy2024-forecast-upwards/) and a material increase of 509% from the US$1,109,374 revenue recorded for the 12 month period to June 30, 2023 (FY2023). Adjusted EBITDA (refer to notes) for FY2024 was US$2,719,126, a significant increase from previous forecast guidance of US$1,500,000. In FY2023 the company recorded a negative adjusted EBITDA of ($2,124,995).
Key FY2024 business and financial highlights:
During FY2024 the Company completed a number of material transactions including: (i). successfully completing the interconnection milestones for both the Bouse Solar & Storage ("Bouse") and Parker Solar & Storage ("Parker") projects sold to ENGIE in January 2023, realizing milestone payment revenue of US$4,250,000 and the (ii) completion of the acquisition of WindRiver Power Corporation in February 2024 adding 6.63MW of net operational capacity and 90MW of development assets in Canada.
Total revenues of US$6,742,297 for FY2024 compared to revenues of US$1,109,374 for FY2023 a substantial increase from the prior year. Revenue for FY2024 was primarily driven by milestone payments and deferred revenue from the sale of the Bouse and Parker projects to ENGIE, which totaled US$4,250,000 for the period. In addition to this the Company continued to build its long term recurring revenue base with the acquisition of WindRiver adding US$671,738 of revenue for the period (representing revenue from completion of the acquisition in February 12, 2024). The WindRiver business is forecast to generate revenue of US$1.8m on a fully consolidated 12-month basis.
Renewable energy generation for FY2024 was 8,048,729kWh a significant increase from 1,618,456kWh in FY2023 primarily driven by the electricity generated by the Box Springs windfarm and continued output from the Company's operational distributed generation portfolio.
Strong gross profit margin trend continues driven by the increase of recurring revenue from our DG portfolio, the addition of the operating Utility Scale projects in Canada and the sale proceeds received from the Utility Scale projects in the US. The strong gross profits are also as result of low operating costs associated with the rooftop solar DG projects. Gross margins for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2024 were 96%.
Utility scale projects under development stand at 3,015MW as at the date of this release, after taking into effect (i) the addition of 90MW (net 76.1MW) of development hydro projects in Canada through the WindRiver Acquisition; and (ii) the addition of 480MW of new greenfield development projects in the US & Canada during the period. The Company made significant progress on its 20MW/80MWh Vernal BESS and 49.5MW Primus Wind projects during the period, which have now moved to late stage development status and are expected to reach ready to build by the end of 2025. In addition to this the Company recently announced the acquisition of a 30MWp solar development project in Alberta (https://revolve-renewablepower.com/revolve-announces-acquisition-of-30mwp-solar-development-project-in-alberta/). A 20MWp first phase of this project is also expected to be ready to build by the end of 2025.
Distributed Generation ("DG") assets under construction remained at 3.45MW with permitting work continuing on the 3MW CHP project and final commissioning work now being completed on the 450kWp rooftop solar project both located in Mexico.
The Company's DG project pipeline remained stable at c.150MW as at the date of this release. The Company continues to remain focused on prioritizing near term opportunities to sign PPA's for new projects from this pipeline.
Net income for the year ending June 30, 2024, was US$2,602,510 compared with a Net loss of (US$2,342,561) for the year ending June 30, 2023.
Cash on balance sheet as at June 30, 2024 was US$3,181,827, following receipt of the US$3,400,000 milestone payment from ENGIE from the sale of the Bouse and Parker Solar & Storage project.
Total liabilities as at June 30, 2024 were US$10,029,045 compared to total liabilities of US$2,630,750. The increase in total liabilities was directly related to non-recourse debt acquired through the WindRiver acquisition and additional loans granted by RE Royalties throughout the year.

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 IFRS (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 FY2025; and (ii) 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 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-IFRS 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 IFRS financial measure. For these same reasons, Revolve is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding IFRS financial measures.
