Brookfield Renewable Reports Strong Second Quarter Results

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated

BROOKFIELD, News, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (NYSE: BEP; TSX: BEP.UN) (“Brookfield Renewable Partners”, "BEP") today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

“We delivered record financial results, robust capital deployment, and the highest levels of development and asset recycling in our history,” said Connor Teskey, CEO of Brookfield Renewable.

He added, “Energy demand continues to grow at unprecedented levels with customers increasingly seeking scale, integrated power solutions. Our diversified global business and leading capabilities across hydro, solar, wind, storage and nuclear enables us to accelerate our growth in this environment. With the recent acquisition of Aypa, the largest standalone battery storage platform in North America, we continue to enhance Brookfield Renewable’s position as the partner of choice for the largest corporate and sovereign buyers of power.”

Brookfield Renewable reported record FFO of $421 million or $0.62 per unit, up 13% or 11% per unit year-over-year, benefiting from strong operating performance, asset recycling activity and growth from asset development. In the last twelve months, Brookfield Renewable reported FFO of $1,444 million, or $2.14 per unit, up 14% or 11% per unit, compared to the prior year period. After deducting non-cash depreciation and other expenses, our Net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $213 million.

Strong Financial Performance

Our business delivered another quarter of strong financial results, reflecting our diversified portfolio and continued execution across our growth and capital recycling initiatives.

  • Our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $336 million, driven by strong generation from our Canadian fleet, robust performance of our Colombian business and realized gains on the sale of a 25% interest in non-core U.S. hydro assets, which more than offset weaker hydrology in the U.S.
  • Our wind and solar segments generated combined FFO of $166 million, supported by the build out of projects commissioned over the last year and realized gains.
  • Our distributed energy, storage and sustainable solutions segments contributed FFO of $84 million, driven by contributions from development activities and strong performance from Westinghouse, with increasing activity across new-build projects and reactor restarts as global demand for nuclear power continues to accelerate.

We are executing on our growth priorities, committing or deploying ~$5 billion (~$760 million net to Brookfield Renewable) of capital, including agreeing to acquire the largest standalone battery storage platform in North America.

  • We announced an agreement to acquire Aypa, the largest standalone battery energy storage platform in North America for ~$3 billion (~$420 million net to Brookfield Renewable). Aypa has ~3,000 megawatts of highly contracted operating and under construction battery storage assets, an additional ~3,500 megawatts of contracted projects and a further +20-gigawatt development pipeline in strategic markets across the United States. This acquisition adds to our leading storage capabilities as battery storage is an increasingly critical component of the energy mix, enabling the deployment of low-cost, fast-to-market renewable generation and enhancing grid reliability. In addition, the acquisition of Aypa enhances our ability to meet growing customer demand for reliable, integrated power solutions.
  • The quarter was also highlighted by the U.S. Department of Energy's commitment of $17.5 billion in loan facilities to finance long-lead equipment for the deployment of up to 10 large scale Westinghouse AP1000 reactors in the United States. The financing will accelerate project delivery by supporting early equipment procurement; reducing execution risk and strengthening the domestic nuclear supply chain.
  • During the quarter, we were successful delivering ~1,280 megawatts of new capacity bringing our completed new capacity so far this year to ~3,100 megawatts, the highest first half development total in our history. We also continue to scale new build construction and remain on track to deliver ~10,000 megawatts of new projects per year by 2027.
  • We executed power purchase agreements for ~2,600 megawatts of development projects from our advanced pipeline and continue to advance a number of major contracting initiatives, including a portfolio of hydro assets in Ontario as part of a broader re-contracting program run by the provincial system operator that will help secure cash flows with respect to these assets.

We continue to execute on our capital recycling strategy, generating record proceeds to start the year, including approximately ~$2.2 billion (~$630 million net to Brookfield Renewable) of expected proceeds from signed or closed transactions during the quarter at strong returns.

  • During the quarter, we signed an agreement to sell a 570-megawatt portfolio of operating solar and wind assets from our European development businesses to a newly formed European renewable power platform. The transaction will generate approximately $500 million (~$80 million net to Brookfield Renewable) of proceeds, crystallizing value created through our operating and development activities. We also established a framework to sell additional operating assets over time to the platform. This transaction represents another example of our programmatic capital recycling strategy, following the successful launch of a North American platform, Northview Energy, earlier this year.
  • We closed two-thirds of the sale of ~2,100 megawatts of assets to the Northview Energy platform, and closed the remaining third subsequent to quarter-end. Also during the quarter we completed the sale of an additional 25% interest in a non-core U.S. hydro portfolio in Maine, with the remaining 25% expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. Total proceeds from the sale of 100% of these sales is expected to be ~$2.2 billion (~$800 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
  • We agreed to sell a portfolio of solar assets that we developed and small non-core hydro assets from our Isagen business in Colombia across two transactions for ~$590 million in expected proceeds (~$220 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The transactions will crystallize development gains and value creation across our hydro fleet through the extension of contracts and operational improvements.

We maintain a strong liquidity position and further optimized our balance sheet during the quarter, completing financings that enhance our financial flexibility and position us to continue to invest significantly into accretive growth opportunities.

  • During the quarter, we completed approximately $12 billion of financings across our business, reflecting continued strong access to capital markets and ended the quarter with over $5.1 billion of available liquidity across our platform, providing flexibility to fund our development pipeline and pursue growth opportunities.
  • We completed the largest private placement financing in our history through the refinancing of our Safe Harbor hydro portfolio, securing $1.2 billion of attractive long-term financing while further optimizing the capital structure of the portfolio.
  • We completed a €650 million bond issuance at Neoen, further demonstrating our ability to efficiently access capital across our platforms.
  • At the corporate level, we completed a C$200 million preferred unit issuance that was upsized in response to strong investor demand and priced with a 5.75% coupon, achieving our second-lowest reset spread ever for this type of instrument.
  • During the quarter, we continued to execute our BEPC at-the-market equity issuance program alongside our normal course issuer bid. We issued approximately 3.2 million BEPC shares and repurchased the same number of BEP units on a one-for-one basis, generating approximately $8 million of incremental cash to support future growth investments.

We recently approved plans to simplify Brookfield Renewable's corporate structure by combining BEP and BEPC into a single publicly traded corporation.

  • We expect the simplification to be tax-deferred for Canadian and U.S. investors and benefit all securityholders by improving trading liquidity, increasing demand from index funds and ETFs, simplifying investor analysis, broadening access to investors who prefer a traditional corporate structure and enhancing governance. For BEP unitholders, the simplification will also eliminate onerous partnership tax reporting forms, while also providing preferential dividend tax rates for many Canadian and U.S. taxable investors.
  • A special meeting for securityholders to vote on the simplification will be held on October 14, 2026, and subject to approvals and closing conditions, the simplification transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Investor Day

  • We look forward to hosting our Investor Day on September 29th, 2026 in Toronto where members of Brookfield Renewable's senior management team will provide an update on our strategic priorities and growth outlook.

BROOKFIELD RENEWABLE CORPORATION
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated

The Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable Corporation ("BEPC" or our "company") (NYSE, TSX: BEPC) today has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.392 per class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of BEPC (a "Share"), payable on September 29, 2026 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2026. This dividend is identical in amount per share and has identical record and payment dates to the quarterly distribution announced today by BEP on BEP's LP units.

The Shares of BEPC are structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the non-voting limited partnership units of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. ("BEP" or the "partnership") (NYSE: BEP; TSX: BEP.UN). We believe economic equivalence is achieved through identical dividends and distributions on the Shares and BEP's LP units and each Share being exchangeable at the option of the holder for one BEP LP unit at any time. Given the economic equivalence, we expect that the market price of the Shares will be significantly impacted by the market price of BEP's LP units and the combined business performance of our company and BEP as a whole. In addition to carefully considering the disclosures made in this news release in its entirety, shareholders are strongly encouraged to carefully review BEP's continuous disclosure filings available electronically on EDGAR on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

BEPC reported FFO of $299 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $198 million in the prior year. After deducting non-cash depreciation, remeasurement of shares classified as financial liability, and other non-cash items, our Net loss attributable to the partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $790 million compared to a net loss of $1,410 million in the prior year. Adjusting for the remeasurement of financial liability associated with our exchangeable shares, the Net loss attributable to the partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is $86 million compared to a loss of $134 million in the prior year.

We recently announced our intention to simplify Brookfield Renewable's corporate structure by combining BEP and BEPC into a single publicly traded corporation.

We expect the simplification to be tax-deferred for Canadian and U.S. investors and benefit all securityholders by improving trading liquidity, increasing demand from index funds and ETFs, simplifying investor analysis, broadening access to investors who prefer a traditional corporate structure and enhancing governance.

A special meeting for securityholders to vote on the simplification will be held on October 14, 2026, and subject to approvals and closing conditions, the simplification transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.
