8point3 Energy Partners Report First Quarter 2018 Results

Exceeded Q1 2018 revenue, net income, Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD guidance

Declared Q1 2018 distribution of $0.2802 per share

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 28, 2018 - 8point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ:CAFD) (the Partnership) today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2018.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Partnership reported revenue of $10.9 million, net income of $6.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million and cash available for distribution (CAFD) of $18.1 million.

Additionally, as previously announced, the Partnership has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Purchase Agreement (the Merger Agreement) with CD Clean Energy and Infrastructure V JV, LLC, an investment fund managed by Capital Dynamics, Inc., and certain other co-investors (collectively, Capital Dynamics), pursuant to which Capital Dynamics will acquire the Partnership through an acquisition of 8point3 General Partner, LLC (the General Partner), the general partner of the Partnership, all of the outstanding Class A shares in the Partnership and all of the outstanding common and subordinated units and incentive distribution rights in 8point3 Operating Company, LLC (OpCo), the Partnership’s operating company (collectively, the Proposed Transactions). For additional information, please see the Partnership’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 19, 2018.

“We remain pleased with the performance of our high quality solar portfolio as we exceeded our financial goals for the quarter,” said Chuck Boynton, 8point3 Energy Partners’ CEO. “In relation to our Proposed Transactions with Capital Dynamics, the process is continuing as we recently filed our preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. As we announced last quarter, following our Sponsors thorough and comprehensive strategic review process, Capital Dynamics’s offer was the most compelling proposal for all shareholders relative to other options, including the option to continue as a stand-alone company,” concluded Boynton.

The Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner also declared a cash distribution for its Class A shares of $0.2802 per share for the first quarter. The first quarter distribution will be paid on April 13, 2018 to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2018.

“We were pleased with our first quarter results as our portfolio continued to perform as expected,” said Bryan Schumaker, 8point3 Energy Partners’ chief financial officer. “We remain well-positioned to meet our second quarter financial and operational goals.”

The completion of the Proposed Transactions with Capital Dynamics is subject to a number of closing conditions, including approval by a majority of the outstanding 8point3 public Class A shareholders, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Section 203 approval and the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The Sponsors, which are the indirect owners of our General Partner and approximately 64.5 percent of OpCo’s outstanding units, have executed an agreement to vote in support of the Proposed Transactions. Additionally, the Proposed Transactions are subject to certain other customary closing conditions.

Guidance

The Partnership’s second quarter 2018 guidance is as follows: revenue of $16.0 million to $18.0 million, net income of $5.0 million to $7.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $25.5 million to $28.0 million, CAFD of $13.0 million to $15.5 million and a distribution of $0.2802 per share. The Partnership’s second quarter 2018 net income, Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD guidance includes approximately $2.4 million in expenses related to the Proposed Transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses a variety of financial metrics to analyze our performance. The key financial metrics we evaluate are Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD.

Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net of interest income, income tax provision, depreciation, amortization and accretion, including our proportionate share of net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion from our unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method, and share-based compensation and transaction costs incurred for our acquisitions of projects; and excluding the effect of certain other non-cash or non-recurring items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance such as, but not limited to, mark to market adjustments to the fair value of derivatives related to our interest rate hedges. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. The U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and borrowers’ ability to service debt. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management for internal planning purposes including certain aspects of our consolidated operating budget and capital expenditures. It is also used by investors to assess the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flows to make distributions to our Class A shareholders.

However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital, does not reflect significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt or cash distributions on tax equity, does not reflect payments made or future requirements for income taxes, and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to EBITDA as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP measure, including net income (loss).

Cash Available for Distribution.

We use CAFD, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA less equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest paid, cash income taxes paid, maintenance capital expenditures, cash distributions to noncontrolling interests and principal amortization payments on any project-level indebtedness plus cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, indemnity payments and promissory notes from Sponsors, test electricity generation, cash proceeds from sales-type residential leases, state and local rebates and cash proceeds for reimbursable network upgrade costs. Our cash flow is generated from distributions we receive from OpCo each quarter. OpCo’s cash flow is generated primarily from distributions from the Project Entities. As a result, our ability to make distributions to our Class A shareholders depends primarily on the ability of the Project Entities to make cash distributions to OpCo and the ability of OpCo to make cash distributions to its unitholders.

We believe CAFD is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of our ability to generate sustainable distributions. In addition, when evaluating a potential acquisition, our management team projects expected CAFD to determine whether to make such acquisition. The U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to CAFD is net income (loss).

However, CAFD has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not capture the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of our projects, does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results from operations. CAFD is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or any other performance measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of CAFD are not necessarily comparable to CAFD as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP measure, including net income (loss).

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD:

(4)	Represents our proportionate share of net interest expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion from our unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method.


(5)	Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates represents the earnings from the Solar Gen 2 Project, the North Star Project, the Lost Hills Blackwell Project, the Henrietta Project, and the Stateline Project and is included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.


(6)	Represents cash interest payments related to OpCo’s senior secured credit facility and the Stateline Promissory Note.


(7)	Represents the Short-Term Note, a promissory note from First Solar.


(8)	Cash distributions from unconsolidated affiliates represent the cash received by OpCo with respect to its 49% interest in the Solar Gen 2 Project, the North Star Project, the Lost Hills Blackwell Project, and the Henrietta Project and its 34% interest in the Stateline Project.


(9)	Represents indemnity payments from the Sponsors owed to OpCo in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement.

Cash proceeds from sales-type residential leases, net, represent gross rental cash receipts for sales-type leases, less sales-type revenue and lease interest income that is already reflected in net income (loss) during the period. The corresponding revenue for such leases was recognized in the period in which such lease was placed in service, rather than in the period in which the rental payment was received, due to the characterization of these leases under U.S. GAAP.


(11)	Test electricity generation represents the sale of electricity that was generated prior to COD by Macy’s Maryland Project for the three months ended February 28, 2017. The sale of test electricity generation is accounted for as a reduction in the asset carrying value rather than operating revenue prior to COD, even though it generates cash for the related Project Entity.


(12)	Cash proceeds from a utility company related to reimbursable network upgrade costs associated with the Quinto Project and the Kingbird Project.
