MONTREAL, Nov. 7, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") (TSX: BLX) announces that it reported $16.2 million in EBITDA on revenues of $33.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with $16.7 million in EBITDA on revenues of $36.2 million for the same period of 2011. The third quarter is traditionally the weakest of the year due to the seasonal cycles experienced by the Corporation's two largest segments: wind and hydroelectric power production. In the coming months, Boralex will be focusing on its accelerated development plan and its growth strategy aimed in particular at expansion and geographic diversification of the wind and hydroelectric power segments, which will contribute positively to its future earnings.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
The Corporation's operating results were affected by exceptionally dry weather in Québec and the Northeastern U.S. in the summer of 2012, which led to a $4.3 million decrease in EBITDA in the hydroelectric power segment. However, the decline in the hydroelectric power segment was partially offset by an extraordinary gain of $4.0 million, regarding a retroactive adjustment on water rights of U.S. hydroelectric power stations as well as sustained performance in the wind power segment, due in particular to the contribution of the new St-Patrick site in France, acquired in June 2012. Furthermore, the change in the net loss for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with the same periods of 2011 resulted largely from the recognition of a $5.4 million foreign exchange gain in the third quarter of 2011.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, other than the historically low water flow conditions in the hydroelectric power segment in the second and third quarters, the decrease in adjusted loss was triggered by a significant but predicable drop in thermal power segment EBITDA, owing primarily to the increase in the cost of natural gas consumed by the cogeneration power station in Kingsey Falls, Québec.
Boralex President and CEO Patrick Lemaire underscored the good showing in the wind and solar power segments, whose combined EBITDA has grown over 15% to $41.6 million since the beginning of the year. "Despite the unfavourable weather conditions over the past six months, our hydroelectric power stations have excellent long-term prospects and remain major contributors to our bottom line, generating over $27.0 million in EBITDA for first nine months of 2012. Our Kingsey Falls power station will cease cogeneration operations when its sales contract with Hydro-Québec expires on November 30, 2012. The revenue shortfall arising from this shutdown will be offset in the coming quarters by the recently completed and ongoing expansion initiatives at Boralex."
BORALEX AIMS TO DOUBLE EBITDA BY 2016
Due to its significant capacity to generate cash from operations, Boralex is in a solid financial position, with cash on hand in excess of over $140 million as at September 30, 2012. The Corporation will use the cash to execute the full range of its development projects underway in the wind and hydroelectric power segments totalling over 550 MW under long-term power sales contracts held independently or with partners. By completing these various projects in the coming years, plus approximately 100 MW in anticipated additional capacity in its project pipeline, Boralex aims to double the EBITDA reported in the past twelve months with no dilution to existing shareholdings.
Boralex continues seeking acquisition opportunities mainly in Canada and France, targeting renewable energy assets covered by long-term power sales contracts that offer growing and predictable cash flows along with attractive leveraged financing options. "Boralex commands a strong competitive edge to continue seizing the best market opportunities, consisting of robust finances, its targeted approach, an excellent multidisciplinary team and its entrepreneurial culture," added Mr. Lemaire.

Segmented Information
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 production of electricity, revenues from energy sales, EBITDA and cash flows from operations.
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 loss attributable to shareholders of Boralex, in the following table:

Cash flows from operations are equal to net cash flows related to operating activities before 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. 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 table:
