For the fourth quarter, revenues from energy sales calculated on a proportionate consolidation basis(1) totalled $51.9 million, compared with $52.1 million for the same period last year. For the fiscal year, those revenues were down 5.5% to $171.4 million in 2013 from $181.4 million in 2012. Excluding the impact of the November 2012 shutdown of the Kingsey Falls power station, those revenues for the fourth quarter and fiscal year were up 10% and 13%, respectively, from the same periods a year earlier.
Fourth-quarter EBITDA rose 5% to $31.4 million in 2013 from $29.9 million year over year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, EBITDA climbed 3.7% to $101.8 million compared with 2012. Reflecting this growth, fourth-quarter EBITDA margin increased to 60.5% in 2013 from 57.4% in 2012. For the fiscal year, EBIDTA margin widened to 59.4% in 2013 from 54.1% in 2012. Excluding the impact of the shutdown of the Kingsey Falls power station, EBITDA for the fourth quarter and fiscal year was up 9% and 15%, respectively, from the same periods a year earlier.
These favourable results were primarily driven by the June 2012 acquisition of St-Patrick wind farm in France, and the commissioning in December 2013 of phase I of the Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms in Canada. Those facilities offset the impact of the Kingsey Falls closure, while favourably positioning Boralex for growth. The Corporation ended the fiscal year with $128 million in cash, which allows it to pursue its growth strategy.
OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
Boralex expanded its installed capacity by 176 MW or nearly 37% to 652 MW in 2013 from 476 MW in 2012 through the addition of new assets in Canada and France:
- The December commissioning (on time and on budget) of phase I of the Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms totalling 272 MW (net share of 136 MW for Boralex), the largest project ever completed by the Corporation; and
- The commissioning of Vron (8 MW) and La Vallée (32 MW) wind farms in France in September and December, respectively.
Regarding the year's achievements, "in 2013, we achieved further growth and improved our profit margin as a result of higher weightings in the wind and hydroelectric power segments," stated Mr. Lemaire. "In addition, by expanding our geographical diversification with major investments in Canada, we are acquiring new skills with different wind power technologies while helping to stabilize our future results," added Mr. Lemaire.
"Given our cash situation, the strength and quality of cash flows from operations, and particularly, the ability of our team to find, operate and finance projects in both France and Canada, I can only be enthusiastic about the future," concluded Mr. Lemaire.
OUTLOOK
Numerous projects representing approximately 236 MW (net share of 202 MW for Boralex) are slated for commissioning in 2014 and 2015, including:
- Jamie Creek hydroelectric power station (22 MW) in British Columbia (2014);
- Phase II of the of the Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms in Québec (68 MW) (34 MW net share for Boralex) (2014);
- Québec wind farm Témiscouata I (25 MW) in partnership with Témiscouata RCM (2014);
- French wind farms Fortel-Bonnières and St-François (46 MW) (2014 and 2015);
- Québec wind farm Côte-de-Beaupré (25 MW) in partnership with La Côte-de-Beaupré RCM (2015); and
- Québec wind farm Témiscouata II (50 MW) for which Boralex recently obtained the ministerial order authorizing construction to begin (2015).
Boralex is pursuing further growth opportunities in projects under various stages of development in France and Canada.
Boralex intends to actively participate in the request for proposals for the purchase of a block of wind power recently tendered by Hydro-Québec for 450 MW in installed capacity, while seeking to position itself favourably to seize on further growth opportunities including potential acquisitions, RFPs from other Canadian jurisdictions or fixed-rate power purchase programs in France or Canada.

Caution regarding forward-looking statements
Some of the statements contained in this press release, including those regarding future results and performance, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations, within the meaning of securities legislation. Boralex would like to point out that, by their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties such that its results or the measures it adopts could differ materially from those indicated by or underlying these statements, or could have an impact on the degree of realization of a particular projection. The main factors that could lead to a material difference between the Corporation's actual results and the projections or expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the general impact of economic conditions, raw material price increases and availability, currency fluctuations, volatility in the selling price of electricity, the Corporation's financing capacity, negative changes in general market conditions and regulations affecting the industry, as well as other factors discussed in the Corporation's filings with the various securities commissions.
There can be no assurance as to the materialization of the results, performance or achievements as expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Unless required to do so under applicable securities legislation, Boralex management does not assume any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or other changes.
Non-IFRS Measures
The summarized financial statements included in this press release also contain certain non-IFRS financial measures. In order to assess the performance of its assets and reporting segments, Boralex uses EBITDA and cash flows from operations, and EBITDA and cash flows from operations under proportionate consolidation, as performance measures. Management believes that these measures are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors to assess the operational performance of a company and its ability to generate cash through operations. These non-IFRS measures are derived primarily from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this press release, but do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS; accordingly, they may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.
The summarized financial statement included in this press release also contain a section entitled, "Reconciliations between IFRS and Proportionate Consolidation," in which the results of Joint Ventures 50% owned by Boralex are treated as if they were proportionately consolidated and not as if they were accounted for using the equity method as required by IFRS. Since the information that Boralex uses to carry out internal analyses and make strategic and operating decisions is collected on a proportionate consolidation basis, management has considered it relevant to include the "Proportionate Consolidation" section to make it easier for investors to understand the concrete impacts of decisions made by the Corporation. Accordingly, tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis are included in the financial statements accompanying the press release.

III - Non-IFRS Measures
Non-IFRS Measures
The Corporation's power stations are grouped into four distinct operating segments - wind, hydroelectric, thermal and solar power. The Corporation operates under one reportable segment: power generation. The classification of these segments is based on the different cost structures relating to each of the four types of power stations. The same accounting rules are used for segmented information as for the consolidated accounts.
The operating segments are presented according to the same criteria used to prepare the internal report submitted to the segment leader who allocates resources and assesses operating segment performance. The President and Chief Executive Officer is considered the segment leader, who assesses segment performance based on power production, revenues from energy sales, EBITDA and cash flows from operations.
This section includes also an EBITDA and cash flows from operations presented on a Proportionate Consolidation basis in which the results of Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms 2 and 3 and Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farm 4 General Partnerships (the "Joint Ventures"), which are 50% owned by Boralex, have been treated as if they were proportionately consolidated and not as if they were accounted for using the equity method as required by IFRS. Since the information Boralex uses to carry out internal analyses and make strategic and operating decisions is collected on a proportionate consolidation basis, management has considered it relevant to use this accounting basis for this presentation to make it easier for investors to understand the concrete impacts of decisions made by the Corporation. Moreover, tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis are included.
EBITDA
EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS; accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Investors should not view EBITDA as an alternative measure to, for example, net earnings (loss), or as a measure of operating results, which are IFRS measures.
EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure, namely, net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders of Boralex, in the following tables:

Cash flows from operations
Cash flows from operations are equal to net cash flows related to operating activities before the change in non-cash items related to operating activities. Management uses this measure to assess cash flows generated by the Corporation's operations and its capacity to finance its expansion through those funds. In light of the seasonal nature of the Corporation's operations and development activities, changes in non-cash items can vary considerably. In addition, development activities result in significant changes in Trade and other payables during the construction period, as well as an initial injection of working capital at project start-up. Accordingly, the Corporation considers it more representative not to integrate changes in non-cash items in this performance measure.
Investors should not consider cash flows from operations as an alternative measure to cash flows related to operating activities, which is an IFRS measure.
Cash flows from operations are reconciled to the most comparable IFRS measure, namely, net cash flows related to operating activities, in the following tables:
