As of June 30, 2013, NRG Yield had total liquidity of $84 million, an
increase of $42 million from December 31, 2012, driven by $21 million in
1603 cash grant proceeds from the Avra Valley solar project net of
repayment of the cash grant bridge loan, as well as $23 million of cash
held in reserve for remaining construction payments related to the Marsh
Landing facility.
On July 22, 2013, the Company raised $468 million in its initial public
offering with the sale of 22,511,250 shares of Class A common stock and
used $395 million to purchase Class A units in NRG Yield LLC from NRG
Energy Inc. representing a 29.1% interest. It also used $73 million to
purchase an additional 3.5 million Class A units, or 5.4% interest, in
NRG Yield LLC with such funds earmarked for general corporate purposes.
Concurrently, NRG Yield LLC, through its ownership of NRG Yield
Operating LLC, acquired a portfolio of solar, wind, and natural gas
generation and thermal infrastructure assets, primarily located in the
Northeast, Southwest and California regions of the United States from
NRG Energy Inc. in return for 42,738,750 Class B units in NRG Yield LLC.
In connection with the initial public offering NRG Yield LLC and NRG
Yield Operating LLC entered into a $60 million senior secured revolving
credit facility.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. These
measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not
be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference
that NRG’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring
items.
EBITDA represents net income before interest (including loss on debt
extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is
presented because NRG Yield considers it an important supplemental
measure of its performance and believes debt-holders frequently use
EBITDA to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not
consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our
operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
-
EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for
capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
-
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working
capital needs;
-
EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
debt or cash income tax payments;
-
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced
in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for
such replacements; and
-
Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than
NRG Yield does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a
measure of discretionary cash available to use to invest in the growth
of NRG Yield’s business. NRG Yield compensates for these limitations by
relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA only supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in
the financial statements that are a part of this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of
operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for
mark-to-market gains or losses, asset write offs and impairments; and
factors which we do not consider indicative of future operating
performance. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and
the reasons NRG Yield considers it appropriate for supplemental
analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of
the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating
Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future NRG Yield
may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this news release.
Cash available for distribution is adjusted EBITDA plus cash dividends
from unconsolidated affiliates, less maintenance capital expenditures,
pro-rata adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest
paid, income taxes paid, principal amortization of indebtedness and
changes in others assets. Management believes cash available for
distribution is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability
to earn and distribute cash returns to investors.
