General
Recent Developments
The most significant recent developments for our Company and business during 2025 and 2026 to date are described below:
•In February 2026, we entered into a long-term geothermal portfolio PPA to supply up to 150MW of new geothermal capacity to support Google’s data center’s energy needs, through NV Energy’s Clean Transition Tariff program. The portfolio structure is expected to enable the development of multiple new geothermal projects across Nevada, with energy deliveries anticipated to commence between 2028 and 2030 as projects reach commercial operations. Per the PPA structure, the contract term begins with the first geothermal project achieving commercial operations and extends 15 years beyond the final project’s commercial operations date. The agreement and related energy supply arrangements are subject to approval by the Nevada PUC, which is expected in the second half of 2026.
•In January 2026, we acquired Hoku, a recently built operational solar-plus-storage facility on the Big Island of Hawaii, from Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. for total cash consideration of $80.5 million. The acquired assets include a 30MW solar PV facility paired with a 30MW/120MWh battery energy storage system, which achieved commercial operation in March 2025 and is fully operational. All output from the facility is sold under a 25-year fixed-price power purchase agreement with HECO.
•In January 2026, we made a $25 million investment in Sage Geosystems Inc. (“Sage”) as part of Sage’s Series B financing round. This investment represents an important milestone in our strategy to expand our EGS portfolio and capabilities and supports the continued development and commercialization of next-generation geothermal technology. In August 2025, we also announced the signing of a strategic commercial agreement with Sage. Under the terms of the agreement, Sage will pilot its advanced pressure geothermal technology to extract geothermal heat energy from hot dry rock at an existing Ormat power plant. This collaboration aims to significantly reduce the time needed to bring geothermal energy to market and is expected to enhance the Company’s operational efficiency while accelerating the implementation of next-generation geothermal solutions. The strategic commercial agreement was closed.
•In January 2026, we were awarded the Telaga Ranu geothermal working area concession in Indonesia following a competitive tender process. The concession is located in Halmahera, North Maluku, within one of Indonesia’s highest approved feed-in tariff zones and has the potential to support up to approximately 40MW of baseload geothermal generation capacity. This award strengthens our long-term development pipeline and supports our continued growth strategy in Indonesia.
•In January 2026, we entered into a new 20-year PPA with Switch, Inc., a leading provider of data center infrastructure, pursuant to which Switch will purchase approximately 13MW of carbon-free geothermal capacity from our Salt Wells geothermal power plant located near Fallon, Nevada. Under the agreement, energy deliveries are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2030, following the completion of a planned major upgrade to the Salt Wells facility. As part of the agreement, we also have the option to further expand the facility’s output through the addition of an approximately 17MW solar PV facility to support the plant’s auxiliary power needs.
•In December 2025, we reached the COD for Arrowleaf, our first hybrid solar-plus-storage project, consisting of approximately 42MW of solar generation capacity and 35MW/140MWh of energy storage. The project operates
under a long-term tolling agreement with San Diego Community Power. In connection with the project’s COD, the related hybrid tax equity partnership transaction with Morgan Stanley Renewables, Inc. closed in December 2025 and resulted in approximately $38 million of upfront proceeds to the Company.
•In October 2025, the Company and SLB announced an agreement to fast-track the development and commercialization of integrated geothermal assets, including EGS. Together, Ormat and SLB intend to streamline project deployment, from concept to power generation. As part of this effort, SLB will develop, pilot and scale EGS solutions to enable wide-scale EGS adoption. This collaboration will include the design and construction of an EGS pilot at an Ormat site.
•In September 2025, we successfully commenced the commercial operations of our 60MW/120MWh Lower Rio energy storage facility, located in Texas.
•In August 2025, we signed two Geothermal Exploration and Energy Conversion Agreements (“GEECA”), a novel form of power purchase agreement, with Perusahaan Listrik Negara (“PLN”), each covering up to 20 MW of geothermal capacity each in Songa Wayaua and Atadei located in Indonesia. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company, through its project companies, will undertake the exploration drilling, financing, designing, constructing, installing, and operating the Geothermal Power Plant on a BOT (“Build, Operate and Transfer”) basis , with a 23 year operating term. PLN will reimburse the cost of successful drilling and retains the option to acquire up to a 30% equity interest in the project companies.
•In August 2025, we announced the signing of a 25-year extension to our existing power purchase agreement with SCPPA, for the 52MW from Heber 1 geothermal facility. This long-term agreement, which is effective February 2026, will ensure the continued delivery of clean, baseload geothermal energy to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Imperial Irrigation District. The Company will supply the SCPPA with electricity from the Ormat Heber 1 geothermal facility, located in the Imperial Valley of Southern California.
•In July 2025, we entered into loan agreements with a consortium of French banks pursuant to which we will borrow up to approximately €99.8 million aggregate principal amount in connection with our new Bouillante geothermal power plant in Guadeloupe.
•In July 2025, we entered into a tax partnership agreement with a private investor, under which the private investor paid approximately $77.1 million for the tax benefits related to the Heber 1&2 Geothermal power plants that are part of our Heber Complex. The private investor will pay over eight years additional installments that are expected to amount to approximately $25.7 million.
•In June, 2025, we entered into loan agreements with the Caribbean Development Bank and Caricom Development Fund pursuant to which we will borrow up to $49.8 million aggregate principal amount in connection with the 10MW Geothermal Project in Dominica.
•In June 2025, we closed the acquisition of the Blue Mountain geothermal power plant from Cyrq Energy. The 20MW facility, located in Humboldt County, NV, was purchased for $88.7 million for 100% of the equity interest in the power plant. The power plant, built using Ormat technology, features an existing 51MW interconnection capacity and a PPA with NV Energy that expires at the end of 2029. The Company plans to upgrade the power plant and increase its capacity by 3.5MW. Additionally, subject to permit and PPA approval, Ormat intends to add a 13MW solar facility to support the plant's auxiliaries.
•In May 2025, we announced the signing of a $62.0 million Hybrid Tax Equity partnership with Morgan Stanley Renewables, Inc. The partnership’s transaction covers the Lower Rio 60MW/120MWh storage facility and the Arrowleaf 35MW/140MWh storage and 42MW solar projects, which are expected to achieve COD by the end of 2025.
•In February 2025, we won a tender issued by the Israeli Electricity Authority and have been awarded two separate 15-year tolling agreements for two Energy Storage facilities. The facilities under the tolling agreements are expected to have a combined capacity of approximately 300MW/1200MWh. The ownership of the projects will be shared, 50/50 between Ormat and Allied Infrastructure LTD, a leading infrastructure company in Israel.
•In February 2025, we announced the successful COD for the Ijen geothermal power plant that is owned jointly with PT Medco Power Indonesia (“Medco Power”). The Ijen Geothermal Power Plant, equipped with Ormat Energy Converter, began operations with its first phase, delivering 35MW of electricity power to the Java grid, Ormat’s share of the facility is 17MW.
•In January 2025, we announced the signing of a 10-year PPA with Calpine Energy Solutions, one of North America’s largest energy suppliers. Under this agreement, Calpine Energy Solutions agreed to purchase up to 15MW of clean, renewable energy from the Mammoth 2 geothermal power plant located near Mammoth Lakes, California, to support demand within its retail portfolio. Energy deliveries under the PPA are scheduled to begin
in the first quarter of 2027 and will replace the existing PPA with Southern California Edison. The new PPA includes an increase in production capacity and a higher price point.
Opportunities, Trends and Uncertainties
Different trends, factors and uncertainties may impact our operations and financial condition, including many that we do not or cannot foresee. However, we believe that our results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future will be primarily affected by the following trends, factors and uncertainties that are from time to time also subject to market cycles:
•Increased Demand for Baseload and Data Centers: Demand for electricity generated from geothermal and other renewable resources in the United States has increased due to the need for reliable baseload power and the growing energy requirements of data centers. This demand is supported by legislative and regulatory initiatives, including state RPS and clean energy mandates, which encourage or require the procurement of renewable energy.
•Higher PPA Pricing in the United States: Increasing electricity demand from data centers and hyperscale customers has contributed to higher PPA pricing in the United States for new geothermal projects and for the renewal of PPAs scheduled to expire over the next few years. This trend may support improved profitability and increased future revenues from our operating assets; however, actual outcomes will depend on market conditions, and timing of contract renewals.
•Enhanced Geothermal Systems (“EGS”) Opportunities: Advancements in and viability of EGS technology may create opportunities for growth in both our Electricity and Product segments by expanding the range of geothermal resources that can be economically developed. EGS has the potential to enable power generation and equipment sales in locations that do not have naturally occurring hydrothermal resources, which could increase the addressable market for geothermal energy. The timing, scale and commercial viability of EGS development remain uncertain and will depend on technological progress, regulatory frameworks, capital availability and market conditions.
•Reduced Tolling prices for Storage Facilities in Texas: While tolling agreements for storage facilities were introduced in Texas, prices of new tolling arrangements has declined, and certain previously executed tolling agreements were cancelled. This shift is primarily driven by sustained low merchant power prices, which have reduced the economic attractiveness of tolling structures and increased exposure to merchant market volatility for storage projects.
•Local Support: We expect that a variety of local governmental initiatives will create new opportunities for the development of new projects with the potential to realize higher returns on our equity as well as to create additional markets for our products. These initiatives include the award of long-term contracts to independent power generators, the creation of competitive wholesale markets for selling and trading energy, capacity and related energy products and the adoption of programs designed to encourage “clean” renewable and sustainable energy sources.
•Product Segment Opportunities and Competition: In the Product segment, we believe there are new business opportunities in the U.S., Asia Pacific, New Zealand and Central and South America. We have experienced increased competition from binary power plant equipment suppliers including the major steam turbine manufacturers. While we believe that we have a distinct competitive advantage based on our technology, accumulated experience and current worldwide share of installed binary generation capacity, an increase in competition may impact our ability to secure new purchase orders from potential customers. The increased competition may also lead to further reductions in the prices that we are able to charge for our binary equipment.
•OBBBA Impact: On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law by the President of the United States. Rules under the OBBBA were updated in August 2025. For more information, see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements, however, it does not expect the impact to be material.
•New Tariffs: Throughout 2025, the United States introduced actions to increase import tariffs at various rates, including on certain products imported from almost all countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain other countries, such as China. Other countries have announced retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions in response. Some of these tariff announcements were followed by limited exemptions and temporary pauses. As of the date of this annual report, discussions remain ongoing regarding U.S. trade restrictions and tariffs on imports
and retaliatory tariffs from numerous countries, and while certain of these tariffs and other trade restrictions have already taken effect, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries regarding such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. Accordingly, we can make no assurance about the eventual impact on our operating results and business. Our Energy Storage segment growth relies on imported batteries from China, and the growth of projects in the United States in the Electricity segment requires raw materials and equipment from various countries.
While there has so far been only limited impact on short-term growth in both of these segments, a significant increase in tariffs may lead to a slowdown in the growth of our Energy Storage segment in the United States if we are unable to pass the price increases from tariffs through to our customers. This could affect our long-term growth targets, specifically in our Energy Storage segment in the United States, and, to a lesser extent, across our business. Additionally, increases in the cost of raw materials and equipment resulting from tariffs could increase our capital expenditures for projects built in the United States under our Electricity segment. We have worked to accelerate imports into the United States and have expedited Chinese imports prior to the potential reinstatement of higher tariffs. However, we can make no assurance that we will succeed in avoiding any of these negative consequences. In addition, current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may contribute to inflation in the markets in which we operate. For more information, see Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors”
•Inflation and Macroeconomic Trends: Higher rates of inflation, particularly in the U.S., have been observed over the last few years. While most international-based contracts are indexed to inflation, U.S. contracts are not. Although we see a moderation in the rate of inflation, if inflation continues to rise, it may increase expenses and impact profit margins. Additionally, macroeconomic trends, including a potential economic recession, changes in Federal Reserve monetary policy, the policies of the new presidential administration, and geopolitical risks, including ongoing Middle East tensions, may adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
Revenues
Sources of Revenues
We generate our revenues from the sale of electricity from our geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants; the design, manufacture and sale of equipment for electricity generation; the construction, installation and engineering of power plant equipment; and the sale of energy storage services and electricity from our operating energy storage facilities.
Electricity Segment
Revenues attributable to our Electricity segment are derived from the sale of electricity from our power plants pursuant to long-term PPAs. While approximately 93.8% of our Electricity revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were derived from PPAs with fixed price components, we have a variable price PPA in Hawaii, which provide for payments based on the local utilities’ avoided cost. The avoided cost is the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others. In Hawaii, the prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna Complex change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities. Accordingly, our revenues from this power plant may fluctuate. In 2024, the HPUC approved a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and an extension of the term until 2052, which we expect to be in effect in early 2027. Our Electricity segment revenues are also subject to seasonal variations, as more fully described in “Seasonality” below.
Our PPAs generally provide for energy payments alone, or energy and capacity payments. Generally, capacity payments are payments calculated based on the amount of time and capacity that our power plants are available to generate electricity. Energy payments are payments calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered to the relevant power purchaser at a designated delivery point. Our most recent PPAs generally provide for energy payments alone with an obligation to compensate the off-taker for its incremental costs as a result of shortfalls in our supply.
Product Segment
Revenues attributable to our Product segment are based on the sale of equipment, engineering, procurement and construction contracts and the provision of various services to our customers. Product segment revenues fluctuate between periods, primarily based on our ability to receive customer orders, the status and timing of such orders, delivery of raw
materials and the completion of manufacturing. Larger customer orders for our products are typically the result of our sales efforts, our participation in, and winning tenders or requests for proposals issued by potential customers in connection with projects they are developing and orders by returning customers. Such projects often take a significant amount of time to design and develop and are subject to various contingencies, such as the customer’s ability to raise the necessary financing for a project. Consequently, we are generally unable to predict the timing of such orders for our products and may not be able to replace existing orders that we have completed with new ones. As a result, revenues from our Product segment fluctuate (sometimes extensively) from period to period.
Energy Storage Segment
Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment are generated by several grid-connected BESS facilities that we own and operate from selling energy, capacity and/or ancillary services in merchant markets like PJM Interconnect, ISO New England, ERCOT and CAISO or under tolling agreements that have fixed revenues. The revenues fluctuate over time since a large portion of such revenues are generated in the merchant markets, where price volatility is inherent. We are seeking to reduce volatility by increasing the amount of long-term tolling agreements in our portfolio. In the two solar PV plus energy storage facilities, although the solar capacity is included in the Electricity Segment portfolio, 100% of the revenues are recorded under the Energy Storage segment.
We are pursuing the development of additional grid-connected BESS projects in multiple regions, with expected revenues coming from providing energy, capacity and/or ancillary services on a merchant basis, and/or through bilateral fixed contracts with load serving entities, investor-owned utilities, publicly owned utilities and community choice aggregators.
Our management assesses the performance of our operating segments differently. In the case of our Electricity segment, when making decisions about potential acquisitions or the development of new projects, management typically focuses on the internal rate of return of the relevant investment, technical and geological matters and other business considerations. Management evaluates our operating power plants based on revenues, expenses, and EBITDA, and our projects that are under development based on costs attributable to each such project. Management evaluates the performance of our Product segment based on the timely delivery of our products, performance quality of our products, and revenues and costs actually incurred to complete customer orders compared to the costs originally budgeted for such orders. We evaluate our Energy Storage segment performance similar to the Electricity segment with respect to projects that we own and operate.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, 40%, 37% and 39% of our total revenues were derived from foreign locations, respectively, and our foreign operations had higher gross margins than our U.S. operations in each of those years. A substantial portion of the Electricity Segment foreign revenues came from Kenya and, to a lesser extent, from Honduras, Guadeloupe, and Guatemala. Our operations in Kenya contributed disproportionately to gross profit and net income. The contribution to combined pre-tax income of our domestic and foreign operations within our Electricity segment and Product segment differ in a number of ways, as summarized below.
Electricity Segment
Our Electricity segment domestic revenues were approximately 72%, 73% and 71% of our total Electricity segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. However, domestic operations have higher costs of revenues and expenses than our foreign operations. Our foreign power plants are located in lower-cost regions, like Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras and Guadeloupe, which favorably impact payroll, and maintenance expenses among other items. Our power plants in foreign locations are also newer than most of our domestic power plants and therefore tend to have lower maintenance costs and higher availability factors than our domestic power plants. Consequently, in 2025 and 2024, our foreign operations of the segment accounted for 39% and 39% of our total gross profits, 49% and 48% of our net income (considering the majority of corporate operating and financing expenses are recorded under our domestic operations), and 29% and 31% of our EBITDA, respectively.
Product Segment
Our Product segment foreign revenues were 95%, 94% and 94% of our total Product segment revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Energy Storage Segment
Our Energy Storage segment domestic revenues were 100.0% of our total Energy storage segment revenues for years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Seasonality
Electricity generation from some of our geothermal power plants is subject to seasonal variations. In the winter, our power plants produce more energy primarily attributable to the lower ambient temperature, which has a favorable impact on the energy component of our Electricity segment revenues as the prices under many of our contracts are fixed throughout the year with no time-of-use impact. The prices paid for electricity under the PPAs for the Mammoth Complex and the North Brawley power plant in California, the Raft River power plant in Idaho, the Neal Hot Springs power plant in Oregon and Dixie Valley power plant in Nevada, are higher in the months of June through September. The higher payments payable under these PPAs in the summer months partially offset the negative impact on our revenues from lower generation in the summer attributable to a higher ambient temperature. As a result, we expect the revenues and gross profit in the winter months to be higher than the revenues and gross profit in the summer months and in general we expect the first and fourth quarters to generate higher revenues than the second and third quarters. In the Storage segment pursuant to the Bottleneck tolling agreement, approximately 45% of the revenues are generated in the third quarter, and the rest is roughly even between the first, second and fourth quarters.
Breakdown of Cost of Revenues
Electricity Segment
The principal cost of revenues attributable to our operating power plants are operation and maintenance expenses comprised of salaries and related employee benefits, equipment expenses, costs of parts and chemicals, costs related to
third-party services, lease expenses, royalties, startup and auxiliary electricity purchases, property taxes, insurance, depreciation and amortization and, for some of our projects, purchases of make-up water for use in our cooling towers. In our California power plants, our principal cost of revenues also includes transmission charges and scheduling charges. In some of our Nevada power plants we also incur transmission and wheeling charges. Some of these expenses, such as parts, third-party services and major maintenance, are not incurred on a regular basis. This results in fluctuations in our expenses and our results of operations for individual power plants from quarter to quarter. Payments made to government agencies and private entities on account of site leases where power plants are located are included in cost of revenues. Royalty payments, included in cost of revenues, are made as compensation for the right to use certain geothermal resources and are paid as a percentage of the revenues derived from the associated geothermal rights. Royalties constituted approximately 4.5% and 4.6% of Electricity segment revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Product Segment
The principal cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment are materials, salaries and related employee benefits, expenses related to subcontracting activities, and transportation expenses. Sales commissions to sales representatives are included in selling and marketing expenses. Some of the principal expenses attributable to our Product segment, such as a portion of the costs related to labor, utilities and other support services are fixed, while others, such as materials, construction, transportation and sales commissions, are variable and may fluctuate significantly, depending on market conditions. As a result, the cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, fluctuates. Another reason for such fluctuation is that in responding to bids for our products, we price our products and services in relation to existing competition and other prevailing market conditions, which may vary substantially from order to order.
Energy Storage Segment
The principal cost of revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment are direct costs of the BESS that we own, and depreciation and amortization. Direct costs include the labor associated with operations and maintenance of owned BESS. In addition, the cost of revenue includes insurance and property tax expenses.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report. However, certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to an understanding of our financial position and results of operations. In applying critical accounting estimates and assumptions to our policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in making certain estimates. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, management’s observance of trends in the geothermal industry, information provided by our customers and information available to management from other outside sources, as appropriate. Such estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as a result, actual results could differ from our estimates. Our critical accounting estimates include:
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues generated from the construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment and other equipment on behalf of third parties (Product revenues) are recognized using the percentage of completion method, which requires estimates of future costs over the full term of product delivery. Such cost estimates are made by management based on prior operations and specific project characteristics and designs. If management’s estimates of total estimated costs with respect to our Product segment are inaccurate, then the percentage of completion is inaccurate resulting in an over- or under-estimate of revenue and gross margin. As a result, we review and update our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis, and at least on an annual basis for all others, or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from the application of penalty provisions in relevant contracts and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses relating to contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Revenues generated from engineering and operating services and sales of products and parts are recorded once the service is provided or product delivered as the customer obtains control of the asset, as applicable.
Electricity Property, Plant and Equipment
We capitalize all costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of power plant facilities. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance (including major maintenance) costs are expensed. We estimate the useful life of our power plants to range between 15 and 30 years. Such estimates are made by management based on factors such as prior operations, the terms of the underlying PPAs, geothermal resources, the location of the assets and
specific power plant characteristics and designs. Changes in such estimates could result in useful lives which are either longer or shorter than the depreciable lives of such assets. We periodically re-evaluate the estimated useful life of our power plants and revise the remaining depreciable life on a prospective basis.
We capitalize costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources beginning when we acquire land rights to the potential geothermal resource. Prior to acquiring land rights, we make an initial assessment that an economically feasible geothermal reservoir is probable on that land using available data and external assessments vetted through our exploration department and occasionally outside service providers. Costs incurred prior to acquiring land rights are expensed. It normally takes two to three years from the time we start active exploration of a particular geothermal resource to the time we have an operating production well, assuming we conclude the resource is commercially viable.
In most cases, we obtain the right to conduct our geothermal development and operations on land owned by the BLM, various states or with private parties. Once we acquire land rights to the potential geothermal resource, we perform additional activities to assess the commercial viability of the resource. Such activities include, among others, conducting surveys and other analysis, obtaining drilling permits, creating access roads to drilling sites, and exploratory drilling which may include temperature gradient holes and/or slim holes. Such costs are capitalized and included in construction-in-process. Once our exploration activities are complete, we finalize our assessment as to the commercial viability of the geothermal resource and either proceed to the construction phase for a power plant or abandon the site. If we decide to abandon a site, all previously capitalized costs associated with the exploration project are written off.
Our assessment of economic viability of an exploration project involves significant management judgment and uncertainties as to whether a commercially viable resource exists at the time we acquire land rights and begin to capitalize such costs. As a result, it is possible that our initial assessment of a geothermal resource may be incorrect and we will have to write off costs associated with the project that were previously capitalized. Due to the uncertainties inherent in geothermal exploration, historical impairments may not be indicative of future impairments. Included in construction-in-process are costs related to projects in exploration and development of $286.9 million and $193.7 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
We evaluate long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and construction-in-process for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors which could trigger an impairment include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of assets or our overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, a determination that an exploration project will not support commercial operations, a determination that a suspended project is not likely to be completed, a significant increase in costs necessary to complete a project, legal factors relating to our business or when we conclude that it is more likely than not that an asset will be disposed of or sold.
We test our operating plants that are operated together as a complex for impairment at the complex level because the cash flows of such plants result from significant shared operating activities. For example, the operating power plants in a complex are managed under a combined operation management generally with one central control room that controls all of the power plants in a complex and one maintenance group that services all of the power plants in a complex. As a result, the cash flows from individual plants within a complex are not largely independent of the cash flows of other plants within the complex. We test for impairment of our operating plants which are not operated as a complex, as well as our projects under exploration, development or construction that are not part of an existing complex, at the plant or project level. To the extent an operating plant becomes part of a complex in the future, we will test for impairment at the complex level.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The significant assumptions that we use in estimating our undiscounted future cash flows include (i) projected generating capacity of the power plant and rates to be received under the respective PPA and (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant power plant. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset under development also include cash flows associated with all future expenditures necessary to develop the asset. If future cash flows are actually less than those used in such estimates, we may incur impairment losses in the future that could be material to our financial condition and/or results of operations.
If our assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. We believe that for the year ended December 31, 2025, no impairment exists for any of our long-lived assets; however, estimates as to the recoverability of such assets may change based on revised circumstances.
Estimates of the fair value of assets require estimating useful lives and selecting a discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.
Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets
We record the fair market value of legal liabilities related to the retirement of our assets in the period in which such liabilities are incurred. These liabilities include our obligation to plug wells upon termination of our operating activities, the dismantling of our power plants upon cessation of our operations, and the performance of certain remedial measures related to the land on which such operations were conducted. When a new liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded, we capitalize the costs of such liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Such liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. At retirement, we either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or report either a gain or a loss with respect thereto. Estimates of the costs associated with asset retirement obligations are based on factors such as prior operations, the location of the assets and specific power plant characteristics. We review and update our cost estimates periodically and adjust our asset retirement obligations in the period in which the revisions are determined. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions used in estimating our asset retirement obligations, we may incur additional losses that could be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Significant estimates are required to arrive at our consolidated income tax provision. This process requires us to estimate our actual current tax exposure and to make an assessment of temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. Such differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. For those jurisdictions where the projected operating results indicate that realization of our net deferred tax assets is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance is recorded.
We evaluate our ability to utilize the deferred tax assets quarterly and assess the need for a valuation allowance. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income, including the impacts of the enacted tax law, the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax credits and tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes in tax laws, statutory tax rates, and future taxable income. In the future, if there is insufficient evidence that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S., we may be required to record a valuation allowance, resulting in income tax loss in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In the ordinary course of business, there can be inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, which is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information, we recognize between 0 to 100% of the tax benefit. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we do not recognize any tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements. Resolution of uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2025 and the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Total Revenues
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | | Year Ended December 31, 2024 | | Increase (Decrease) |
| (Dollars in millions) | | |
| Electricity segment revenues | $ | 693.9 | | | $ | 702.3 | | | $ | (8.4) | | | (1.2) | % |
| Product segment revenues | 216.7 | | 139.7 | | 77.0 | | | 55.2 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Total Revenues | $ | 989.5 | | | $ | 879.7 | | | $ | 109.8 | | | 12.5 | % |
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our total revenues increased by 12.5% from $879.7 million in 2024 to $989.5 million in 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Electricity segment generated 70.1% of our total revenues, compared to 79.8% in the previous year, while our Product segment generated 21.9% of our total revenues, compared to 15.9% in the previous year, and our Energy Storage segment generated 8.0% of our total revenues, compared to 4.3% in the previous year.
Electricity Segment
Revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $693.9 million, compared to $702.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 1.2% decrease. This decrease of $8.4 million was mainly attributable to (i) a decrease of $18.6 million related to curtailments in the U.S., mainly from McGinness Hills, Mammoth, Tungsten and Dixie Valley; (ii) a decrease of $13.9 million as a result of a temporary reduction in generation in our Puna power plant, primarily related to wellfield issues and lower energy rates in 2025 compared to 2024; (iii) a decrease of $3.2 million related to the Stillwater power plant, primarily due to planned repowering of the power plant; and (iv) an additional reduction in revenues in lower amounts at a number of other power plants. This decrease in revenues was partially offset by the following increases in revenues: (i) an increase of $6.6 million related to the Blue Mountain power plant which was purchased in June 2025; (ii) an increase of $5.4 million related to the Beowawe repower project which commenced commercial operation in the second quarter of 2024; (iii) an increase of $8.9 million in the Dixie Valley power plant, net of curtailment, due to the unscheduled maintenance work in 2024; and (iv) additional increases in revenues in lower amounts at a number of other power plants, primarily in Kenya and Cove Fort in the amount of $5.7 million.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our consolidated power plants generated 7,493,287 MWh and 7,450,071 MWh, respectively, an increase of 0.6%. The generation in 2025 and 2024 was lower by 277,923 MWh and 121,299 MWh, respectively due to curtailments in our U.S. projects. The average prices during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $92.6, and $94.3 per MWh, respectively, mainly due to Puna’s lower generation and energy rate.
Product Segment
Revenues attributable to our Product segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $216.7 million, compared to $139.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 55.2% increase. The increase is primarily related to the progress in our projects and timing of when revenues are recognized. During 2025 and 2024, Product revenues included projects primarily in New Zealand and Dominica.
Energy Storage Segment
Revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $79.0 million compared to $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 109.3% increase. This increase of $41.2 million is primarily related to: (i) $15.8 million higher revenues related to merchant rates at PJM storage facilities in 2025, compared to 2024. (ii) the East Flemington facility which commenced commercial operations in the first quarter of 2024, the Bottleneck and Montague energy storage facilities which commenced commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the Lower Rio facility that commenced commercial operations in September 2025.
Total Cost of Revenues
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | | Year Ended December 31, 2024 | | Increase (Decrease) |
| (Dollars in millions) | | |
| Electricity segment cost of revenues | $ | 496.0 | | | $ | 459.5 | | | $ | 36.5 | | | 7.9 | % |
| Product segment cost of revenues | 170.7 | | | 113.9 | | | 56.8 | | | 49.8 | |
| Energy Storage segment cost of revenues | 50.2 | | | 33.6 | | | 16.6 | | | 49.4 | |
| Total Cost of Revenues | $ | 716.9 | | | $ | 607.0 | | | $ | 109.9 | | | 18.1 | % |
Electricity Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $496.0 million, compared to $459.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 7.9% increase. This increase of
$36.5 million is primarily attributable to: (i) an increase in power plants depreciation expenses of $20.0 million, as a result of our investments in our power plants; (ii) an increase of $8.3 million in property tax expenses primarily related to the CD4 power plant, the Heber complex, and the Steamboat power plant; (iii) an increase of $2.3 million in the Stillwater power plant as a result of maintenance work during the third quarter of 2025; (iv) an increase of $2.0 million related to the Blue Mountain power plant which was purchased in June 2025; and other smaller amount increases in several other power plants.
As a percentage of total Electricity revenues, the total cost of revenues attributable to our Electricity segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 71.5%, compared to 65.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher depreciation and property tax expenses in some of our power plants, as well as the impact of curtailments on our revenues, as described above. The cost of revenues attributable to our international power plants was 17.8% of our Electricity segment cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Product Segment
Total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $170.7 million, compared to $113.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 49.8% increase from the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the higher revenues in 2025, compared to 2024, as well as the higher profitability of projects for which revenues were recognized in 2025, compared to projects for which revenues were recognized in 2024. As a percentage of total Product segment revenues, our total cost of revenues attributable to our Product segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 78.8%, compared to 81.6% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Energy Storage Segment
Cost of revenues attributable to our Energy Storage segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $50.2 million as compared to $33.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase of $16.6 million was mainly due to costs related to the new energy storage facilities that came online during 2024 and 2025 such as Bottleneck, Montague, East Flemington and Lower Rio as described above.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $6.3 million, compared to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 3.0% decrease.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $18.9 million, compared to $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 6.8% increase. Selling and marketing expenses constituted 1.9% and 2.0% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $79.6 million, compared to $80.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 0.7% decrease or $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to legal fees related to a settlement agreement with a third-party battery systems supplier of $4.0 million, which was recorded in 2024, partially offset by other legal and consulting fees in 2025 compared to 2024, as well timing of when we incur services from our vendors.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 constituted 8.0% of total revenues for such period, compared to 9.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $14.8 million compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other operating income primarily represents the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages received from a third-party battery systems supplier as part of a settlement agreement entered into in August 2024 for which all contingency conditions have been met, as further described under Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The increase in “Other operating income” year-over-year of $5.5 million, primarily relates to a full year period in 2025 during which all contingency conditions have been met, as compared to a shorter period of such in 2024.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $12.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The impairment of long-lived assets in 2025 is primarily related to: (i) $7.2 million
associated with the Brawley power plant write-off as a result of continuous losses primarily attributable to wellfield issues which have resulted in higher-than-expected operating costs and lower-than-expected electricity revenues; and (ii) $4.9 million associated with the expected termination of a waste heat agreement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, OREG2, and its customer. The impairment of long-lived assets in 2024 is related to the termination of the waste heat agreement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, OREG4, and its customer.
Write-off of Unsuccessful Exploration and Storage Activities
Write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities for year ended December 31, 2025 were $1.4 million compared to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These write-offs are primarily related to geothermal exploration projects that the Company decided to no longer pursue, as well as costs related to a number of battery energy storage projects that the Company decided to no longer develop and pursue.
Interest Income
Interest Income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $6.0 million, compared to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Interest income is primarily related to interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held by the Company during the period. The decrease in interest income is primarily related to lower balances of cash and cash equivalents during 2025 compared to 2024, as well as lower average interest rate, year-over-year.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $141.9 million, compared to $134.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a 5.8% increase. This increase of $7.8 million is primarily attributable to the new long-term loans entered into during 2025 and 2024 of $548.5 million and $514.6 million, respectively (net of deferred financing costs), and the issuance of the additional 2.50% senior convertible notes in July 2024. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the amount of interest capitalized due to an increase in the construction-in-process balance and lower interest expenses on other long-term loans as a result of regular principal payments.
Derivatives and Foreign Currency Transaction Gains (Losses)
Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $5.2 million, compared to a loss of $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses) primarily includes gains and losses from foreign currency forward contracts which were not accounted for as hedge transactions, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar.
Income Attributable to Sale of Tax Benefits
Income attributable to the sale of tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $66.7 million, compared to $73.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This income primarily represents the value of PTCs and taxable income or loss generated by certain of our power plants allocated to investors under tax equity transactions, and to income related to the expected sale of transferable production tax credits under the existing IRA regulations. This decrease of $6.3 million is primarily related to lower generation in certain power plants and the buyout of Opal Geo in July 2024, partially offset by an increase in PTC rates.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net
Other non-operating income, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was an income of $0.4 million, compared to an income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other non-operating income, net is primarily related to certain immaterial non-operating proceeds from various third-parties.
Income Taxes
Income tax (provision) benefit for the year ended December 31, 2025, was a benefit of $20.3 million, an increase of $4.0 million compared to an income tax benefit of $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was (19.2)% and (14.1)%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the generation of investment tax credits, a net benefit associated with the U.S. state effective tax rate, an expense recorded associated with unrecognized tax benefits, and the jurisdictional mix of earnings at differing tax rates from the federal statutory tax rate.
Equity in Earnings (losses) of Investees, net
Equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net in the year ended December 31, 2025, was a net gain of $1.0 million, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. Equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net is mainly derived from our 12.75% share in the earnings or losses in the Sarulla project, and our 49% share in the earnings or losses in the Ijen geothermal project. The increase in this line item is primarily related to an increase in net income generated by the Ijen project in 2025, compared to 2024. In the second quarter of 2022, Sarulla agreed with its banks on a framework that will enable it to perform remediation works that are aimed to restore the power plants' performance. The first phase of the recovery plan included the drilling of an additional production well, which was successful, and certain modifications to surface equipment are still underway. Following the positive indications from the first phase, during the second quarter of 2024, Sarulla commenced discussions with the banks towards implementation of the additional phases and expects to commence drilling of additional two wells, in 2026, aiming for the same target zone of the successful well drilled earlier.
Net Income attributable to the Company’s Stockholders
Net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $123.9 million, compared to $123.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents an increase of $0.2 million. This increase was attributable to the decrease in net income which was affected by the factors described above, as well as a decrease of $4.4 million in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest which is primarily related to the noncontrolling share in the net results of the Puna and Guadeloupe power plants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of liquidity have been derived from cash flows from operations, proceeds from third-party debt such as borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of debt securities, equity offerings, project financing and tax monetization transactions, short term borrowing under our lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of equity interests in one or more of our projects and sale of transferable PTCs. We have utilized this cash to develop and construct power plants, storage facilities, fund our acquisitions, pay down existing outstanding indebtedness, and meet our other cash and liquidity needs.
Based on current conditions, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our activities and execute our business plans. However, the cost of obtaining financing for our project needs may increase significantly or such financing may be difficult to obtain.
As of December 31, 2025, we had access to: (i) $147.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $75.4 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries; and (ii) $388.9 million of unused corporate borrowing capacity under existing committed lines for credit and letters of credit with different commercial banks.
As of December 31, 2025, $286.0 million in the aggregate was outstanding under different credit agreements with several banks as detailed below under “Letters of Credits under the Credit Agreements”.
Our estimated capital needs for 2026 include approximately $675.0 million for capital expenditures on new projects under development or construction including storage projects, exploration activity, investment in EGS pilot and maintenance capital expenditures for our existing projects. In addition, we expect $303.7 million for long-term debt repayments.
Our capital expenditures primarily relate to the enhancement of our existing power plants and the construction of new power plants. We have budgeted approximately $808.0 million in capital expenditures for construction of new projects and enhancements to our existing power plants, of which we had invested $208.0 million as of December 31, 2025. We expect to invest approximately $240.0 million in 2026 and the remaining approximately $360.0 million on thereafter.
In addition, we estimate approximately $435.0 million in additional capital expenditures in 2026 to be allocated as follows: (i) approximately $170.0 million for the exploration, drilling and development of new projects and enhancements of existing power plants that are not yet released for full construction; (ii) approximately $10 million for EGS pilot (iii) approximately $55.0 million for maintenance of capital expenditures to our Electricity segment operating power plants; (iv) approximately $180.0 million for the construction and development of storage projects; (v) approximately $10 million for land acquisition and other business development initiatives and (vi) approximately $10.0 million for enhancements to our production facilities.
We expect to finance these requirements with: (i) the sources of liquidity described above; (ii) positive cash flows from our operations; and (iii) future project financings and re-financings (including construction loans and tax equity). Management believes that, based on the current stage of implementation of our strategic plan, the sources of liquidity and capital resources described above will address our anticipated liquidity, capital expenditures, and other investment requirements.
Letters of Credits under the Credit Agreements
Some of our customers require our project subsidiaries to post letters of credit in order to guarantee their respective performance under relevant contracts. We are also required to post letters of credit to secure our obligations under various leases and licenses and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. In addition, our subsidiary, Ormat Systems, is required from time to time to post performance letters of credit in favor of our customers with respect to orders of products.

Credit Agreements
Credit Agreement with MUFG Union Bank
Ormat Nevada has a credit agreement with MUFG Union Bank under which it has an aggregate available credit of up to $100.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The credit termination date is June 30, 2026.
The facility is limited to the issuance, extension, modification or amendment of letters of credit. Union Bank is currently the sole lender and issuing bank under the credit agreement, but is also designated as an administrative agent on behalf of banks that may, from time to time in the future, join the credit agreement as lenders. In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a guarantee in favor of the administrative agent for the benefit of the banks, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement. Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement are otherwise unsecured. As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $80.0 million were issued and outstanding under this credit agreement.
Credit Agreement with HSBC Bank USA N.A.
Ormat Nevada has a credit agreement with HSBC Bank USA, N.A for one year with annual renewals. The current expiration date of the facility under this credit agreement is October 31, 2026. On December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount available under the credit agreement was $35.0 million. This credit line is limited to the issuance, extension, modification or amendment of letters of credit. In addition, Ormat Nevada has an uncommitted discretionary demand line of credit in the aggregate amount of $65.0 million available for letters of credit including up to $40 million of credit. In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a guarantee in favor of the administrative agent for the benefit of the banks, pursuant to which the Company agreed to guarantee Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement. Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement are otherwise unsecured. As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $33.7 million were issued and outstanding under the committed portion of this credit agreement and $21.6 million under the uncommitted portion of the agreement.
Restrictive Covenants
Our obligations under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument, are unsecured, but we are subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants. These include, among other things, a prohibition on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over our assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third-party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of our assets, or a change of control in our ownership structure. Some of the credit agreements, the
term loan agreements, and the trust instrument contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third-party. In some cases, including the credit agreements with MUFG Union Bank and with HSBC Bank USA N.A., we have agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least $750 million and in no event less than 25% of total assets; and (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6. As of December 31, 2025: (i) total equity was $2,680.9 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 42.9%; and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash and cash equivalents to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.36. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we distributed interim dividends in an aggregate amount of $29.1 million. The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in such agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.
As described above, we are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to the credit agreements, the loan agreements, except as described below, and the trust instrument, and believe that the restrictive covenants, financial ratios and other terms of any of our full-recourse bank credit agreements will not materially impact our business plan or operations.
As of December 31, 2025, we did not meet the dividend distribution criteria related to the DAC 1 Senior Secured Notes, which resulted in certain equity distribution restrictions from this related subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, the amount restricted for distribution by this subsidiary was $1.0 million. There were no restrictions on the retained earnings or net income of Ormat Technologies, Inc., as the parent company, in respect of these matters, as of December 31, 2025.
Future minimum payments
Material future minimum payments under long-term obligations as of December 31, 2025, are detailed under the caption Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments, below and under Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
Third-Party Debt
Our third-party debt consists of (i) non-recourse and limited-recourse project finance debt or acquisition financing that we or our subsidiaries have obtained for the purpose of developing and constructing, refinancing or acquiring our various projects; (ii) full-recourse debt incurred by us or our subsidiaries for general corporate purposes; (iii) convertible senior notes; (iv) commercial paper; (iv) financing liability; and (v) short term revolving credit lines with banks. Further details related to our third-party debt are provided under Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-recourse debt refers to debt involving debt repayments that are made solely from the power plant’s revenues (rather than our revenues or revenues of any other power plant) and generally are secured by the power plant’s physical assets, major contracts and agreements, cash accounts and, in many cases, our ownership interest in our affiliate that owns that power plant. These forms of financing are referred to as “project financing”.
In the event of a foreclosure after a default, our affiliate that owns the power plant would only retain an interest in the power plant assets, if any, remaining after all debts and obligations have been paid in full. In addition, incurrence of debt by a power plant may reduce the liquidity of our equity interest in that power plant because the equity interest is typically subject both to a pledge in favor of the power plant’s lenders securing the power plant’s debt and to transfer and change of control restrictions set forth in the relevant financing agreements.
Limited recourse debt refers to project financing as described above with the addition of our agreement to undertake limited financial support for our affiliate that owns the power plant in the form of certain limited obligations and contingent liabilities. These obligations and contingent liabilities may take the form of guarantees of certain specified obligations, indemnities, capital infusions and agreements to pay certain debt service deficiencies. Creditors of a project financing of a particular power plant may have direct recourse to us to the extent of these limited recourse obligations.

For additional description of our long-term debt, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Liquidity Impact of Uncertain Tax Positions
As discussed in Note 16 - Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report, we have a liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties in the amount of approximately $10.4 million as of December 31, 2025. This liability is included in long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, because we generally do not anticipate that settlement of the liability will require payment of cash within the
next 12 months. We are not able to reasonably estimate when we will make any cash payments required to settle this liability.
Dividends
We have adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which we currently expect to distribute at least 20% of our annual profits available for distribution by way of quarterly dividends. In determining whether there are profits available for distribution, our Board will take into account our business plan and current and expected obligations, and no distribution will be made that in the judgment of our Board would prevent us from meeting such business plan or obligations.
The following are the dividends declared by us during the past two years, as of December 31, 2025 :

Net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | $ | 75,094 | | | $ | (81,998) | | | $ | 61,094 | |
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $335.1 million, compared to $410.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a net decrease of $75.8 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to net income of $127.0 million adjusted for certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income attributable to sale of tax benefits, impairment charges, and deferred income tax provision, among others, as well as primarily by: (i) net increase of $60.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, as a result of timing of billing to our customers; (ii) a net increase of $7.2 million in inventory primarily related to the progress of our Product projects and timing of allocating costs to such projects; and (iii) a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.8 million as a result of timing of payments to our suppliers. This decrease was partially offset by (i) cash inflow related to the net decrease in trade receivables of $4.5 million, due to the timing of collection from our customers; and (ii) a net decrease in deposits and other of $5.8 million, primarily related to certain refunds. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $410.9 million, compared to $309.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing a net increase of $101.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to net income of $131.2 million adjusted for certain non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation, and income attributable to sale of tax benefits, among others, as well as primarily by: (i) cash inflow related to the net decrease in trade receivables of $27.2 million, due to the timing of collection from our customers; (ii) a net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $11.4 million as a result of timing of payments to our suppliers, and a payment related to recovery of damages received from a third-party battery systems supplier as part of a settlement agreement; (iii) a net increase in prepaid expenses and other of $8.5 million, primarily as a result of timing of prepayments to our suppliers and governmental authorities; and (iv) a net decrease of $6.9 million in inventory, primarily related to the progress of our Product projects and timing of allocating costs to such projects. This increase was partially offset a net increase of $32.3 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, as a result of timing of billing to our customers, and a net increase in deposit and others of $4.5 million related to timing of payment deposits required for ongoing operations.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $726.4 million, compared to $780.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The principal factors that affected the decrease of $53.8 million in our net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 were cash consideration of $88.7 million paid for the acquisition of the Blue Mountain power plant in 2025, compared to cash consideration of $274.6 million paid for the purchase transaction with Enel EGPNA in 2024, partially offset by capital expenditures of $619.8 million in 2025 compared to $487.7 million in 2024, primarily for our geothermal power plants and storage facilities under construction that support our growth plan.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $465.7 million, compared to $287.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The principal factors that affected the increase in net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 were: (i) net proceeds of $548.5 million from long-term loans entered into during 2025; (ii) net proceeds related to tax monetization transactions of $152.0 million; (iii) net proceeds from revolving credit lines with banks of $80.0 million; and cash received from noncontrolling interest of $10.3 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by: (i) scheduled repayments of long-term debt in the amount of $265.5 million; (ii) cash dividend payments of $29.1 million; and (iii) cash paid in respect of debt and tax monetization transactions issuance costs of $20.8 million. The principal factors that affected net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 were: (i) net proceeds of $514.6 million from long-term loans entered into during the period such as the Hapoalim 2024 Loan, the HSBC 2024 Loan, the Mammoth Senior Secured Notes, the DEG 4 Loan, the Discount 2024 Loan, the Discount 2024 II Loan, and the Bottleneck Loan; (ii) net proceeds of $44.0 million related to proceeds from issuance of the Additional Notes; and (iii) cash received from noncontrolling interest in the amount of $12.3 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by: (i) scheduled repayments of long-term debt in the amount of $209.3 million; (ii) cash dividend payments of $29.1 million; (iii) cash paid pursuant to a transaction with noncontrolling interest of $9.8 million; and (iv) net repayments of revolving credit lines with banks of $20.0 million.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2024
A discussion of changes in our cash flows in 2024 compared to 2023 has been omitted from this Form10-K, but may be found in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein. This Form 10-K is available free of charge on the SECs website at www.sec.gov and at www.Ormat.com, by clicking “Investors” located at the top of the home page. Total EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, adjusted for (i) mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) merger and acquisition transaction costs; (iv) gain or loss from extinguishment of liabilities; (v) costs related to settlement agreements; (vi) non-cash impairment charges; (vii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities; (viii) allowance for bad debts; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring items. We adjust for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by management for evaluating operating performance. We believe that presentation of these measures will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate our financial and operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Board of Directors and senior management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our financial performance. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
This information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or other non-GAAP financial measures.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $127.0 million, compared to $131.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $133.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $582.0 million, compared to $550.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $481.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2025 increased by 5.7% compared to fiscal year 2024, primarily due to an increase in EBITDA of $27.2 million, or 5.3%, as illustrated above. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA include our proportionate share (12.75% and 49%) of Sarulla's and Ijen EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding carrying value of long-term debt owed by Sarulla and Ijen, our unconsolidated investments, was $645.3 million, and $105.0 million, respectively, in which our proportionate share was $82.3 million, and $51.5 million, respectively.
Exposure to Market Risks
We, like other power plant operators, are exposed to electricity price volatility risk. Our exposure to such market risk is currently limited because the majority of our long-term PPAs have fixed or escalating rate provisions that limit our exposure to changes in electricity prices, except for 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex. Our energy storage projects sell primarily on a "merchant" basis and are exposed to changes in the electricity market prices. The prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25MW PPA for the Puna Complex in Hawaii change primarily as a result of variations in the price of oil as well as other commodities. Accordingly, our revenues from this power plant may fluctuate. In 2024, the HPUC approved a new PPA related to Puna with fixed prices, increased capacity and an extension of the term until 2052, which we expect to be in effect in early 2027.
As of December 31, 2025, 84.3% of our consolidated long-term debt was at fixed interest rates and therefore was not subject to interest rate volatility risk. Our variable interest rate long-term debt, as of the aforementioned date, is predominantly associated with either the 3-month SOFR or EUROBOR rate, as further detailed under Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our short-term commercial paper, which was issued on October 23, 2023, bears an annual interest of 3-months SOFR+1.1%, and therefore present an exposure to interest rate volatility. The outstanding amount of the short-term commercial paper as of December 31, 2025 was $100.0 million.
Our cash equivalents are subject to interest rate risk. We currently maintain our surplus cash in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, money market funds, corporate bonds and debt securities available for sale (with a minimum investment grade rating of A+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services).
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") in Israel, the Euro in Guadeloupe, and the New-Zealand Dollar in respect with our operation there. Risks attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates can arise when we, or any of our foreign subsidiaries, borrow funds or incur operating or other expenses in one type of currency but receive revenues in another. In such cases, an adverse change in exchange rates can reduce such subsidiary’s ability to meet its debt service obligations, reduce the amount of cash and income we receive from such foreign subsidiary, or increase such subsidiary’s overall expenses. In Kenya, the tax related asset and liability are recorded in Kenyan Shillings ("KES"), therefore, any change in the exchange rate in the KES versus the U.S. dollar has an impact on our financial results. Risks attributable to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates can also arise when the currency denomination of a particular contract is not the U.S. dollar. Substantially all of our PPAs in the international markets are either U.S. dollar-denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar except for our operations on Guadeloupe, where we own and operate the Bouillante power plant which sells its power under a Euro-denominated PPA with Électricité de France S.A. Our construction contracts from time to time contemplate costs which are incurred in local currencies. The way we often mitigate such risk is to receive part of the proceeds from the contract in the currency in which the expenses are incurred. Currently, we have forward and cross-currency swap contracts in place to reduce our NIS/U.S. dollar currency exposure related to our Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4, as detailed below, and expect to continue to use currency exchange and other derivative instruments to the extent we deem such instruments to be the appropriate tool for managing such exposure.
On July 1, 2020, we concluded an auction tender and accepted subscriptions for senior unsecured bonds comprised of NIS 1.0 billion aggregate principal amount (the “Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4”). The Senior Unsecured Bonds - Series 4 were issued in New Israeli Shekels and converted to approximately $290 million using a cross-currency swap transaction shortly after the completion of such issuance. In June 2022, we issued $431.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.5% convertible senior notes due in 2027. The Notes bear annual interest of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears, and mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. In July 2024, we issued an additional $45.2 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2027 under the same terms.
We performed a sensitivity analysis on the fair values of our long-term debt obligations, commercial paper, and foreign currency exchange forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange forward contracts listed below principally relate to trading activities. The sensitivity analysis involved increasing and decreasing forward rates at December 31, 2025 and 2024 by a hypothetical 10% and calculating the resulting change in the fair values.
Currently, the development of our strategic plan has not exposed us to any additional market risk. However, as the implementation of the plan progresses, we may be exposed to additional or different market risks.
The results of the sensitivity analysis calculations as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Effect of Inflation
Over the last five years, although to a lesser extent during 2024 and 2025, we experienced an increase in the overall operating and other costs as a result of higher inflation rates, in particular in the U.S. To address the possibility of rising inflation, some of our contracts include certain provisions that mitigate inflation risk.
In connection with the Electricity segment, none of our U.S. PPAs, including the SCPPA Portfolio PPA, are directly linked to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), although some of them have a fixed annual indexation. Inflation may directly impact the expenses we incur for the operation of our projects, thereby increasing our overall operating costs and reducing our profit and gross margin. The negative impact of inflation would be partially offset by price adjustments built into some of our PPAs that could be triggered upon such occurrences. In addition to the Puna rates that are impacted by higher commodity prices, the energy payments pursuant to our PPAs for some of our power plants such as the Brady power plant, the Steamboat 2 and 3 power plants and the McGinness Complex increase every year through the end of the relevant terms of such agreements, although such increases are not directly linked to the CPI or any other inflationary index. Lease
payments are generally fixed, while royalty payments are generally calculated as a percentage of revenues and therefore are not significantly impacted by inflation. In our Product segment, inflation may directly impact fixed and variable costs incurred in the construction of third-party power plants, thereby lowering our profit margins at the Product segment. We are more likely to be able to offset long term, all or part of this inflationary impact through our project pricing. With respect to power plants that we build for our own electricity production, inflationary pricing may impact our operating costs which may be partially offset in the pricing of the new long-term PPAs that we negotiate.
Interest rate for both short-term and long-term debt have increased sharply until 2024 and 2025 during which rates started to come down. Although our outstanding debt bears fixed interest rates, as we refinance it, or borrow additional amounts, we may incur additional interest expense versus expiring loans.
In recent months, we see a slowdown in inflation rates and increases in raw materials costs that we believe have returned to normal levels.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The following tables set forth our material contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025 :
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Interest rates and maturity dates are detailed under the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above.
The above table does not reflect a liability associated with the sale of tax benefits of $190.2 million. Refer to Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements as set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional discussion of our liability associated with the sale of tax benefits.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our credit risk is currently concentrated with the following major customers: Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy), SCPPA, and KPLC. If any of these electric utilities fail to make payments under their respective PPAs with us, such failure would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. Also, by implementing our multi-year strategic plan we may be exposed, by expanding our customer base, to different credit profile customers than our current customers.
The Company's revenues from its primary customers as a percentage of total revenues are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 | |
| Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”) | 17.8 | % | | 20.6 | % | | 21.2 | % | |
| Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company | 13.8 | | | 15.1 | | | 14.1 | | |
| Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. ("KPLC") | 11.9 | | | 13.0 | | | 13.2 | | |
We have historically been able to collect on substantially all of our receivable balances. As of December 31, 2025, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $29.5 million of which $21.1 million was paid in January and February of 2026. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Kenya. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of December 31, 2025, the total amount overdue from ENEE was $20.3 million of which $1.0 million was collected in January and February of 2026. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may
experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.
Government Grants and Tax Benefits
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and numerous changes to the energy tax credits initially introduced and expanded under the IRA. The OBBBA allows for geothermal and battery storage to qualify for 100% PTC or ITC related to projects that start construction by the end of December 2033, 75% PTC or ITC by the end of December 2034 and 50% PTC or ITC by the end of December 2035. In order to qualify for 100% energy credit, solar projects must start construction by July 4, 2026 and be placed-in-service within four years, or start construction after July 3, 2026 and be placed-in-service by December 31, 2027. The law seeks to limit content from foreign entities of concern (“FEOC”) used in energy related projects that start construction after December 31, 2025. The FEOC restrictions apply at both the product and taxpayer levels, which primarily affects products and ownership related to China.
We are currently permitted to depreciate most of the cost of a new geothermal power plant. In cases where we claim ITCs, our tax basis in the plant that is eligible for depreciation is reduced by one-half of the ITC amount. In cases where we claim the PTC, there is no reduction in the tax basis for depreciation. Projects that were placed in service after September 27, 2017, could qualify for a 100% bonus depreciation with respect to its qualifying assets. After applying any depreciation bonus that is available, we are currently permitted to depreciate the remainder of our tax basis in the plant, if any, mostly over five years on an accelerated basis, meaning that more of the cost may be deducted in the first few years than during the remainder of the depreciation period. We will continue to analyze the current provision under the OBBBA and determine if an election is appropriate as it relates to our business needs. Future presidential administrations may take action to revise, repeal, or otherwise modify existing rules and regulations, including various tax incentives, and the potential impact on the Company remains uncertain at this time. For more information, see Part I of this Annual Report, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Governmental Regulations, Laws and Taxation —The reduction, elimination or inability to monetize government incentives could adversely affect our business, financial condition, future results and cash flows.”
Ormat Systems received “Benefited Enterprise” status under Israel’s Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the Investment Law), with respect to two of its investment programs through 2011. In January 2011, new legislation amending the Investment Law was enacted. Under the new legislation, a uniform rate of corporate tax will apply to all qualified income of certain industrial companies, as opposed to the previous law’s incentives that are limited to income from a “Benefited Enterprise” during their benefits period. As a result, we now pay a uniform corporate tax rate of 16% with respect to that qualified income. In January 2021, Ormat Systems received an approval from the Israeli Innovation Authority that it owns an "Innovation Promoting Enterprise" and therefore is eligible for a reduced corporate tax rate of 12% on its "Preferred Technological Income" for the tax years 2019 and 2020 (effective tax rate of approximately 13% for 2019 and 2020). The tax benefit of lower effective tax rate is reflected in the 2021 net income.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Ormat Technologies, Inc.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 , including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Estimates of Future Costs in Product Revenue Recognition
As described in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, $216.7 million of the Company's total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 was generated from product revenues, the majority of which related to long-term contracts. For the Company’s long-term contracts, control transfers over time and revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress in each period towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the measure of progress towards completion requires management judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. As disclosed by management, the Company generally uses the percentage of completion method to measure progress for its contracts because management believes that measure best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs related to those contracts. Under the percentage of completion method, the extent of progress towards completion is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, which includes both the actual costs already incurred and the estimated costs to complete. Revenues are recognized proportionately as costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on the performance obligation, management’s estimation of future costs to completion is complex and requires significant judgment. Management has disclosed that there are factors that can affect the accuracy of cost estimates, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering and design phases consistent with customer expectations, the availability and costs of labor and materials resources, and productivity.
The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to future costs to completion estimates in revenue recognition is a critical audit matter are that there was significant judgment by management when developing the estimates of future costs to complete projects. This in turn led to significant auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's estimates of future costs to complete projects, including the assessment of management’s judgment about the Company’s ability to properly execute the engineering and design phases consistent with customer expectations and significant assumptions related to estimated expected labor costs.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the determination of estimates of future costs to complete projects. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating and testing management’s process for determining the estimates of future costs for a sample of projects. Evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used involved evaluating management’s ability to estimate future costs to complete projects by (i) performing a comparison of the originally estimated and actual costs incurred on its projects; (ii) evaluating the timely identification of circumstances that warranted a modification to estimated costs to complete projects, including changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability; and (iii) testing management’s process for evaluating the Company’s ability to execute the specific contract characteristics.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
The Company is primarily engaged in the geothermal and recovered energy business and primarily designs, develops, builds, sells, owns and operates clean, environmentally friendly geothermal power plants, usually using equipment that it designs and manufactures. The Company owns and operates geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants in various countries, including the United States, Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. The Company’s equipment manufacturing operations are primarily located in Israel. Additionally, the Company owns and operates independent storage facilities in the United States providing energy storage and related services. Most of the Company’s domestic power plant facilities are Qualifying Facilities under the PURPA. The Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) for certain of such facilities are dependent upon their maintaining Qualifying Facility status.
Rounding
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest $1,000, unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and of all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control over operating and financial policies, and variable interest entities in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in less-than-majority-owned entities or other entities in which the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting or consolidated if they are a variable interest entity in which the Company has an interest and is the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of such companies. The Company’s earnings or losses in investments accounted for under the equity method have been reflected as “equity in earnings (losses) of investees, net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of such financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates with regard to the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, revenue recognition of product sales using the percentage of completion method, asset retirement obligations, and the provision for income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Under the terms of certain long-term debt agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain debt service reserves, including principal and interest, cash collateral and operating fund accounts, including for future wells drilling, which have been classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. Funds that will be used to satisfy obligations due during the next 12 months are classified as current restricted cash and cash equivalents, with the remainder classified as non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents, if applicable. Such amounts are invested primarily in money market accounts and commercial paper with a minimum investment grade of “A”.
Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported on the balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown on the statement of cash flows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, and the cross-currency and interest rate swap transactions.
Cash Investments:
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the U.S. and in foreign countries. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had deposits totaling $83.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively, in ten United States financial institutions that were federally insured up to $250,000 per account. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s deposits in foreign countries of approximately $75.4 million and $73.9 million, respectively, were not insured.
Account Receivables:
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately $102.0 million and $105.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, accounts receivable from the Company’s major customers (see Note 17) amounted to approximately 56% and 57%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable. The aggregate amount of notes receivable exceeding 10% of total receivables for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is $103.2 million and $99.7 million, respectively.
The Company has historically been able to collect substantially all of its receivable balances. As of December 31, 2025, the amount overdue from KPLC in Kenya was $29.5 million of which $21.1 million was paid in January and February of 2026. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Kenya. This belief is supported by the fact that in addition to KPLC's obligations under its power purchase agreement, the Company holds a support letter from the Government of Kenya that covers certain cases of KPLC non-payment (such as non-payments that are caused by government actions and/or political events).
In Honduras, as of December 31, 2025, the total amount overdue from ENEE was $20.3 million of which $1.0 million was collected in January and February of 2026. In addition, due to the financial situation in Honduras, the Company may experience additional delays in collection. The Company believes it will be able to collect all past due amounts in Honduras.
Additionally, the Company considers the counterparty credit risk related to the cross-currency and interest rate swap transactions, as further described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, when assessing the hedge effectiveness, noting such risk to be low as of December 31, 2025.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of raw material parts and sub-assemblies for power units and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted-average cost method. Inventories are reduced by a provision for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. This provision was not material at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Deposits and Other
Deposits and other consist primarily of performance bonds for construction and storage projects, long-term insurance contract funds and receivables, certain deferred costs and deferred financing costs, long-term derivative assets and long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, (except when acquired as part of a business combination, as further described under Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), net of accumulated depreciation. All costs associated with the acquisition, development and construction of power plants operated by the Company are capitalized. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance (including major maintenance) costs are expensed. Power plants operated by the Company, which include geothermal wells and exploration and resource development costs, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 15 to 30 years. The other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized currently and recorded in the accompanying statements of operations.
The Company capitalizes interest costs as part of constructing power plant facilities. Such capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life. Capitalized interest costs amounted to $28.1 million, $14.7 million, and $17.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Exploration and Development Costs
The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources once it acquires land rights to the potential geothermal resource. Prior to acquiring land rights, the Company makes an initial assessment that an economically feasible geothermal reservoir is probable on that land. The Company determines the economic feasibility of potential geothermal resources internally, with all available data and external assessments vetted through the exploration department and occasionally using outside service providers. Costs associated with the initial assessment are expensed and included in cost of electricity revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Such costs were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. It normally takes two to three years from the time active exploration of a particular geothermal resource begins to the time a production well is in operation, assuming the resource is commercially viable. However, in certain sites the process may take longer due to permitting delays, transmission constraints or any other commercial milestones that are required to be reached in order to pursue the development process.
In most cases, the Company obtains the right to conduct the geothermal development and operations on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), various states or with private parties. The land lease payments made during the exploration, development and construction phase are accounted under lease accounting as further described under the caption Leases below and reflected as expenses under “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Upon commencement of power generation on the leased land, the Company begins to pay the lessor’s long-term royalty payments based on the utilization of the geothermal resources as defined in the respective agreements. Such payments are expensed when the related revenues are earned and included in “Electricity cost of revenues” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Following the acquisition of land rights to the potential geothermal resource, the Company conducts further studies and surveys, including water and soil analyses, among others, and augments its database with the results of these studies. The Company then initiates a suite of geophysical surveys to assess the resource and determine drilling locations. If the results of these activities support the initial assessment of the feasibility of the geothermal resource, the Company then proceeds to exploratory drilling and other related activities which may include drilling of temperature gradient holes, drilling of slim holes, building access roads to drilling locations, drilling full size production and/or injection wells and flow tests. If the slim hole supports a conclusion that the geothermal resource will support a commercially viable power plant, it may be converted to a full-size commercial well, used either for extraction or re-injection of geothermal fluids, or be used as an observation well to monitor and define the geothermal resource. Costs associated with these activities and other directly attributable costs, including interest once physical exploration activities begin, and permitting costs are capitalized and included in “Construction-in-process”. If the Company concludes that a geothermal resource will not support commercial operations, capitalized costs are expensed in the period such determination is made.
When deciding whether to continue holding lease rights and/or to pursue exploration activity, the Company diligently prioritizes prospective investments, taking into account resource and probability assessments in order to make informed decisions about whether a particular project will support commercial operation. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $1.4 million, $3.9 million, and $3.7 million of unsuccessful exploration and storage activities, respectively, that the Company decided to no longer pursue, out of which $1.4 million, $2.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relate to storage activities that the Company decided to no longer pursue.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All exploration and development costs that are being capitalized will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives when the related geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use. A geothermal power plant is substantially complete and ready for use when electricity generation commences.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company records the fair value of a legal liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Company’s legal liabilities include plugging wells and post-closure costs of power producing and storage sites. When a new liability for asset retirement obligations is recorded, the Company capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The Company periodically reassesses the assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows required to settle the asset retirement obligation, including changes in estimated probabilities, amounts, and timing of the settlement of the asset retirement obligation, as well as changes in the legal requirements of an obligation and revises the previously recorded asset retirement obligation accordingly. At retirement, the obligation is settled for its recorded amount at a gain or loss.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability or under "Deposits and other" if associated with lines of credit. Such deferred costs are amortized over the term of the related obligation using the effective interest method or ratably, as applicable. Amortization of deferred financing costs is presented as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $6.4 million, $5.9 million, and $5.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, no material amounts were written-off as a result of extinguishment of liabilities.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred in the business combination transactions over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of the fair value of liabilities assumed and the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather subject to a periodic impairment testing on an annual basis, which the Company performs on December 31 of each year, or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Additionally, it is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. This would not preclude the entity from performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For further information relating to goodwill see Note 9 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill to the consolidated financial statements.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of allocated acquisition costs of PPAs, which are amortized using the straight-line method over the 4 to 19-year terms of the agreements (see Note 9) as well as acquisition costs allocation related to the Company's Energy Storage segment activities that are amortized over a period of between approximately 6 and 19 years. Intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In case there are no such events or change in circumstances, there is no need to perform an impairment testing. The recoverability is tested by comparing the net carrying value of the intangible assets to the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of these assets. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (or asset group) is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset (asset group) is measured and if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and construction-in-process for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors which could trigger an impairment include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the Company’s use of assets or its overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, a determination that an exploration project will not support commercial operations, a determination that a suspended project is not likely to be completed, a significant increase in costs necessary to complete a project, legal factors relating to its business or when it concludes that it is more likely than not that an asset will be disposed of or sold.
The Company tests its operating plants that are operated together as a complex for impairment at the complex level because the cash flows of such plants result from significant shared operating activities. For example, the operating power plants in a complex are
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
managed under a combined operation management generally with one central control room that controls all of the power plants in a complex and one maintenance group that services all of the power plants in a complex. As a result, the cash flows from individual plants within a complex are not largely independent of the cash flows of other plants within the complex. The Company tests for impairment of its operating plants which are not operated as a complex as well as its projects under exploration, development or construction that are not part of an existing complex at the plant or project level. To the extent an operating plant becomes part of a complex, the Company will test for impairment at the complex level.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The significant assumptions that the Company uses in estimating its undiscounted future cash flows include: (i) projected generating capacity of the complex or power plant and rates to be received under the respective PPAs and expected market rates thereafter and (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant complex or power plant. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of a long-lived asset under development also include cash flows associated with all future expenditures necessary to develop the asset.
If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Management believes that as of December 31, 2025, no impairment exists for long-lived assets, except as described below. However, estimates as to the recoverability of such assets may change based on revised circumstances. If actual cash flows differ significantly from the Company’s current estimates, a material impairment charge may be required in the future.
As further described under Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12.1 million in respect of its Brawley power plant and OREG 2 facility. This charge was recorded under “Impairment of long-lived assets” line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are measured at their fair value and recorded as either assets or liabilities unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal purchase and sale. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments are initially recorded in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and a corresponding amount is reclassified out of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” into earnings to offset the impact of the underlying hedge transaction when it affects earnings under the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company maintains a risk management strategy that may incorporate the use of swap contracts, put options, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps to minimize significant fluctuation in cash flows and/or earnings that are caused by oil and natural gas prices, exchange rate or interest rate volatility.
Foreign Currency Translation
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s consolidated operations and those of its equity affiliates except the Guadeloupe power plant and the Company's operations in New Zealand. For those U.S. dollar functional currency entities, all gains and losses from currency translations are included under “Derivatives and foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Euro and New Zealand Dollar are the functional currencies of the Company's operations in Guadeloupe and New Zealand, respectively, and thus the impact from currency translation adjustments related to those locations is included as currency translation adjustments in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated statements of equity and in comprehensive income. The accumulated currency translation adjustments amounted to a debit of $1.9 million and a debit of $9.3 million, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income plus other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company consists primarily of changes in foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in unrealized gains or losses in respect of the Company’s share in derivatives instruments of an unconsolidated investment that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, and changes in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. The changes in foreign currency translation adjustments included under other comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $9.7 million, $(8.2) million, and $1.3 million, respectively. The changes in the Company’s share in derivative instruments of an unconsolidated investment, and gains or losses in respect of derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are disclosed under Note 5 – Investment in unconsolidated companies, and Note 7 - Fair value of financial instruments, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.
Power Purchase Agreements
Substantially all of the Company’s Electricity revenues are recognized pursuant to PPAs in the United States, and in various foreign countries, including Kenya, Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Honduras. These PPAs generally provide for the payment of energy payments or both energy and capacity payments through their respective terms which expire in varying periods from 2025 to 2051.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Generally, capacity payments are calculated based on the amount of time that the power plants are available to generate electricity. The energy payments are calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered at a designated delivery point. The price terms are customary in the industry and include, among others, a fixed price, SRAC (the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoids by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others), and a fixed price with an escalation clause that includes the value for environmental attributes, known as renewable energy credits. Certain of the PPAs provide for bonus payments in the event that the Company is able to exceed certain target levels and potential payments by the Company if it fails to meet minimum target levels. The Company has PPAs that give the power purchaser or its designee a right of first refusal or a right of first offer to acquire the geothermal power plants at fair market value as negotiated between the parties. One of the Company’s subsidiaries in Guatemala sells power at an agreed upon price subject to terms of a “take or pay” PPA.
Pursuant to the terms of certain of the PPAs, the Company may be required to make payments to the relevant power purchaser under certain conditions, such as shortfall in delivery of renewable energy and energy credits, and not meeting certain performance threshold requirements, as defined in the relevant PPA. The amount of payment required is dependent upon the level of shortfall in delivery or performance requirements and is recorded in the period the shortfall occurs. In addition, if the Company does not meet certain minimum performance requirements, the capacity of the power plant may be permanently reduced.
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized in connection with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Company is required to apply each of the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily related to: (i) sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants owned and operated by the Company; (ii) geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment sale, engineering, construction and installation, and operating services; and (iii) sale of capacity, energy and/or ancillary services from its energy storage facilities.
Electricity Segment Revenues:
Revenues related to the sale of electricity from geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants and capacity payments are recorded based upon output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified under relevant contract terms. The Company assesses whether PPAs entered into, modified, or acquired in business combinations contain a lease element requiring lease accounting. Revenue from such PPAs are accounted for in electricity revenues. In the Electricity segment, revenues for all but thirteen power plants are accounted as operating leases, and therefore equipment related to geothermal and recovered energy generation power plants as described in Note 8 is considered held for leasing. For power plants in the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company identified electricity as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the invoiced amounts reasonably represents the value to customers of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on the price per actual mega-watt output or available capacity as agreed to in the respective PPA. Customers are generally billed on a monthly basis and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 days after the issuance of the invoice.
Product Segment Revenues:
Revenues from engineering, operating services, and parts and product sales are recorded upon providing the service or delivery of the products and parts and when collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from the supply and/or construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plant equipment and other equipment to third parties are recognized over time since control is transferred continuously to the Company's customers. The majority of the Company's contracts include a single performance obligation which is essentially the promise to transfer the individual goods or services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore deemed as not distinct. Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as the Company performs work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being constructed, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment. In the Company's Product segment, revenues are spread over a period of one to two years and are recognized over time based on the cost incurred to date in ratio to total estimated costs which represents the input method that best depicts the transfer of control over the performance obligation to the customer. Costs include direct material, labor, and indirect costs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
In contracts for which the Company determines that control is not transferred continuously to the customer, the Company recognizes revenues at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. Revenues for such contracts are recorded upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. This generally is the case for the sale of spare parts, generators or similar products.
Accounting for product contracts that are satisfied over time includes use of several estimates such as variable consideration related to bonuses and penalties and total estimated cost for completing the contract. The estimated amount of variable consideration
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company's best judgment at the time.
The nature of the Company's product contracts give rise to several modifications or change requests by its customers. Substantially all of the modifications are treated as cumulative catch-ups to revenues since the additional goods are not distinct from those already provided. The Company includes the additional revenues related to the modifications in its transaction price when both parties to the contract approved the modification. As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of the Company's contracts, the Company reviews and updates its contract-related estimates regularly. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company recognizes the total loss in the period in which it is identified.
Energy Storage Segment Revenues:
Battery energy storage systems as a service, and related services revenues are recorded based on energy management of load curtailment capacity delivered or service provided at rates specified under the relevant contract terms. The Company determined that except for three storage facilities of which revenues are accounted as operating leases under lease accounting, such revenues are in the scope of ASC 606, and identified energy management services as a separate performance obligation. Performance obligations are satisfied once the Company provides verification to the electric power grid operator or utility of its ability to meet the committed capacity, the power curtailment requirements or the ancillary services and thus entitled to cash proceeds. Such verification may be provided by the Company bi-weekly, monthly or under any other frequency as set by the related program and are typically followed by a payment shortly after. Performance obligations identified were evaluated and determined to be satisfied over time and qualified for the invoicing practical expedient since the amounts included in the verification document reasonably represent the value of performance obligations fulfilled to date. The transaction price is determined based on mechanisms specified in the contract with the customer.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets related to the Company's Product segment reflect revenues recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities related to the Company's Product segment reflect customer billing in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. The Company receives payments from customers based on the terms established in the contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

| | | |
(*) Contract assets and contract liabilities are presented as "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", and "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts", respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was substantially recognized as product revenues during the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of performance obligations that were satisfied. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, long-term costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to the Dominica project in the amount of $75.0 million and $26.0 million, respectively, are included under “Deposits and other” in the consolidated balance sheets, and not under the contract assets and contract liabilities above, due to their long-term nature. Further details related to the Dominica Project are provided below under the caption “The Dominica Project”.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections result in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. In the Company's Products segment, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to the recognition of revenue, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers before revenue can be recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The timing of billing its customers and receiving advance payments vary from contract to contract. The majority of payments are received no later than the completion of the project and satisfaction of the Company's performance obligation.
On December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $245.0 million of remaining performance obligations not yet satisfied or partly satisfied related to its Product segment. The Company expects to recognize approximately 100% of this amount as Product revenues during the next 24 months.

Disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 are disclosed under Note 17 - Business Segments, to the consolidated financial statements.
The Dominica Project
In December 2023, the Company entered into agreements with the Commonwealth of Dominica to build and operate a 10 MW binary geothermal power plant in the Caribbean country of Dominica. Under these agreements, the Company will construct the power plant, operate and sell its generated energy to Dominica Electricity Services Limited (presently the only electricity utility in the Commonwealth of Dominica) over a period of 25 years, at the end of which, ownership of the power plant will be transferred to the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica. The Company accounted for this transaction under the guidance of ASC 853, Service Concession Arrangements (“ASC 853”), which directs a reporting entity to apply ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Under the aforementioned accounting guidance, the Company identified the construction and the operation of the power plant as two distinct performance obligations, and accordingly allocated the total transaction price to these separate performance obligations in the arrangement, based on their estimated stand-alone selling price. The Company concluded that the performance obligations are satisfied over time. Additionally, starting the second quarter of 2024, in conjunction with the power plant start of construction, the Company started recognizing revenues relating to the construction performance obligation based on an input method using costs incurred to total costs expected in the project. Such revenues are included under Product revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company performs an analysis of potential credit losses related to its financial instruments that are within the scope of ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Such instruments are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables (excluding those accounted under lease accounting) and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, based on class of financing receivables which share the same or similar risk characteristics such as customer type and geographic location, among others. The Company estimates the expected credit losses for each class of financing receivables by applying the related corporate default rate which corresponds to the credit rating of the specific customer or class of financing receivables. For trade receivables, the Company applied this methodology using aging schedules reflecting how long the receivables have been outstanding. The Company has also considered the existence of credit enhancement arrangements that may mitigate the credit risk of its financial receivables in estimating the applicable corporate default
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
rate. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions related to inflation and rising interest rates and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.
The following table describes the changes in the allowance for expected credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (all related to trade receivables):

Leases
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company is a lessee in operating lease transactions primarily consisting of land leases for its exploration and development activities in the Electricity segment. The Company is also a lessee in finance lease transactions related to its fleet vehicles in the U.S. Additionally, one of the Company's power plant assets which was included in the Terra-Gen business acquisition in 2021, is subject to a sale and leaseback transaction that is accounted as a "failed" sale and leaseback. Additionally, as further described above under Revenues and cost of revenues, the Company acts as a lessor in PPAs that are accounted under ASC 842, Leases.
In accordance with the lease standard, for agreements in which the Company is the lessee, the Company applies a unified accounting model by which it recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease contract for all the leases in which the Company has a right to control identified assets for a specified period of time. The classification of the lease as a finance lease or an operating lease determines the subsequent accounting for the lease arrangement.
The Company, both as a lessee and as a lessor, applies the following permitted practical expedients:
1.Not reassess whether any existing contracts are or contain a lease;
2.Applying the practical expedient for a lessee to not separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease as a single component;
3.Applying the practical expedient (for a lessee) regarding the recognition and measurement of short-term leases, for leases for a period of up to 12 months from the commencement date. Instead, the Company continued to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company applies the following significant accounting policies regarding leases it enters into following the adoption of the lease guidance on January 1, 2019:
1.Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease: on the inception date of the lease, the Company determines whether the arrangement is a lease or contains a lease, while examining if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
2. The Company as a lessee:
a. Lease classification: at the commencement date, a lease is a finance lease if it meets any one of the criteria below; otherwise, the lease is an operating lease:
•The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
•The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;
•The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
•The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset;
•The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
b.Leased assets and lease liabilities - initial recognition: upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes a liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, and concurrently recognizes a ROU asset at the same amount of the liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company is used. The subsequent measurement depends on whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease.
c.The lease term: the lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or termination option if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.
d.Subsequent measurement of operating leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement (as long as the discount rate has not been updated as a result of a reassessment event). The Company subsequently measures the ROU asset at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term and any unamortized initial direct costs. Further, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
e.Subsequent measurement of finance leases: after lease commencement, the Company measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made during the period. The Company determines the interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term as the amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. After lease commencement, the Company measures the ROU assets at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, taking into consideration the reassessment requirements. The Company amortizes the ROU asset on a straight-line basis, unless another systematic basis better represents the pattern in which the Company expects to consume the ROU asset’s future economic benefits. The ROU asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU asset. The amortization period related to the finance lease transactions on fleet vehicles is 4-5 years. The total periodic expense (the sum of interest and amortization expense) of a finance lease is typically higher in the early periods and lower in the later periods.
f.Variable lease payments:
•Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate: on the commencement date, the lease payments may include variability and depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). The Company does not remeasure the lease liability for changes in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate unless the lease liability is remeasured for another reason. Therefore, after initial recognition, such variable lease payments are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.
•Other variable lease payments: variable payments that depend on performance or use of the underlying asset are not included in the lease payments. Such variable payments are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
3. The Company as a lessor:
At lease commencement, the Company as a lessor classifies leases as either finance or operating leases. Finance leases are further classified as a sales-type lease or as a direct financing lease, however, the Company has no such leases as a lessor. Under an operating lease, the Company recognizes the lease payment as income over the lease term, generally as earned or on a straight-line basis.
Termination Fee
Fees to terminate PPAs are recognized in the period incurred as selling and marketing expenses. No termination fees were incurred during 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Warranty on Products Sold
The Company generally provides a one to two year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials related to the sale of products for electricity generation. The Company considers the warranty to be an assurance type warranty since the warranty provides the customer the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Estimated future warranty obligations are included in operating expenses in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Such charges are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Research and Development
Research and development costs incurred by the Company for the development of technologies related to its existing and new geothermal and recovered energy power plants as well as its storage facilities are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company uses the Black-Merton-Scholes using binomial Tree option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards.
Tax Monetization Transactions
The Company has the following seven tax monetization transactions: Tungsten, McGinness Hills 3, Steamboat Hills, CD4, North Valley, Heber 1 and 2 and two hybrid tax equity partnerships as further described under Note 12 – Tax Monetization Transactions. The purpose of these transactions is to form tax partnerships, whereby investors provide cash in exchange for equity interests that provide the holder a right to the majority of tax benefits associated with a renewable energy project. Except for the hybrid tax equity partnerships, the Company accounts for a portion of the proceeds from the transaction as debt under ASC 470. Given that a portion of these transactions is structured as a purchase of an equity interest the Company also classifies a portion as noncontrolling interest consistent with guidance in ASC 810. The portion recorded to noncontrolling interest is initially measured at the fair value of the discounted tax attributes and cash distributions which represents the partner's residual economic interest. The residual proceeds are recognized as the initial carrying value of the debt which is classified as a “Liability associated with the sale of tax benefits”. The Company applies the effective interest rate method to the liability associated with the tax monetization transaction component as described by ASC 835 and CON 7. The tax benefits and cash distributions realized by the partner each period are treated as the debt servicing amounts, with the tax benefit amounts giving rise to income attributable to the sale of tax benefits. The deferred transaction costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method.
As further detailed under Note 12 – Tax Monetization Transactions, the Company accounts for ITCs under ASC 740 through the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. As such, income related to the ITCs associated with the Lower Rio and Arrowleaf storage facilities that are included in the hybrid tax equity partnership, was included under the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Proceeds allocated to other tax attributes, will be included under “Income attributable to the sale of tax benefits” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interest is recorded in the same manner described above, as a portion of the transaction is structured as a purchase of an equity interest, consistent with guidance in ASC 810.

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on provisions of the enacted tax law. The Company accounts for investment tax credits and production tax credits (except for production tax credits which are sold under tax monetization transactions, as described above) as a reduction to income taxes in the year in which the credit arises. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are more likely than not expected to be realized. A valuation allowance has been established to offset the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets. Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities on an underpayment of income taxes are included as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders (“earnings per share”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, net of treasury shares. The Company does not have any equity instruments that are dilutive, except for stock-based awards and convertible senior notes.
The table below shows the reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

The number of stock-based awards that could potentially dilute future earnings per share which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive was 2.1 thousand, 38.5 thousand, and 82.5 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Redeemable noncontrolling interest is currently redeemable and relates to a certain noncontrolling shareholder in a subsidiary having an option to sell its equity interest to the Company. The carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 approximates the redemption price of such interests. Changes in the carrying amount of the Company's Redeemable noncontrolling interest were as follows:

Cash Dividends
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared, approved, and authorized the payment of cash dividends in the aggregate amount of $29.1 million ($0.48 per share), $29.1 million ($0.48 per share), and $28.4 million ($0.48 per share), respectively. Such dividends were paid in the years declared.
TOPP2 Power Plant in New Zealand
In May 2023, the Company signed with Eastland Generation Limited (“EGL”) agreements governing the development, supply, construction, and option to sell the TOPP2 power plant in New Zealand. In August 2025, the Company received an option exercise notice (the “Notice”) from EGL pursuant to which EGL wishes to acquire the TOPP2 power plant in New Zealand pursuant to a previously signed option agreement between the Company and EGL (the “Parties”). During the first quarter of 2026, the Parties signed and closed the sale agreement and amended the previously signed agreements governing the development, supply, construction, and sale of the TOPP2 power plant. The Company applied the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to this transaction, under which several criteria must be met before a reporting entity can recognize revenue from contracts with customers. The Company concluded that as of December 31, 2025, not all required criteria for identifying a contract have been met, including but not limited to the Parties being required to sign and close on a sale agreement following the Notice. As a result, the Company did not record any revenues from this transaction in 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting for this transaction, following the close of the sale agreement and the amendments to the development, supply and construction agreements of the TOPP2 power plant.
Settlement Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement, effective April 2024, (the “Agreement”) with a third-party battery systems supplier (the “Supplier”). Under the Agreement, the Supplier paid to the Company $35.0 million as a recovery of damages, such as significant loss of potential profit due to project delays, as well as additional costs incurred by the Company, related to locating and purchasing substitute battery solutions from alternative vendors (the “Recovery of Damages”), to settle the dispute. On August 16, 2024, the Company received the Recovery of Damages payment contingent upon certain conditions which the Company expects to be met, on a pro-rata basis, during the period until March 31, 2026. The Company accounted for the Recovery of Damages amount under the guidance of ASC 450, Contingencies, and ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services, and as a result, deemed $25.0 million as a recovery of damages, which is recognized as income once contingency conditions are met, and $10.0 million as a reduction to the cost of battery systems to be purchased under the Agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized income of $13.7 million, and $9.4 million, respectively. Such income was recorded under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These amounts represent the non-refundable portion of the recovery of damages for which contingency conditions have been met.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU require that public entities, on an annual basis, disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, (1) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid, (3) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company has adopted this guidance as prescribed and applied the changes on a retrospective basis.
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective in Future Periods
Narrow-Scope Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 “Interim Reporting (Topic 270)” to improve the navigability of required interim disclosures, clarify when that guidance is applicable, and provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments provide a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and add a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This ASU is not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim reporting requirements. Rather, the objective of this ASU is to provide clarity regarding current interim reporting requirements already in place. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 “Government Grants (Topic 832)” to establish authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. The overall principle is that a government grant is recognized in earnings in the same period(s) that the costs for which the grant was intended to compensate are recognized. A grant related to an asset is a government grant, or part of a government grant, that is conditioned on the purchase, construction, or acquisition of an asset. A grant related to income is a government grant, or part of a government grant, other than a grant related to an asset. The amendments in this ASU require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received.
A grant related to an asset should be recognized on the balance sheet as a business entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, either as: a. deferred income (the deferred income approach) or b. an adjustment to the cost basis in determining the carrying amount of the asset (the cost accumulation approach).
A grant related to income and a grant related to an asset for which the deferred income approach is elected should be recognized in earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which a business entity recognizes as expenses the costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. When a business entity elects the cost accumulation approach for a grant related to an asset, there is no separate subsequent recognition of the government grant proceeds in earnings as the carrying amount of the asset that reflects the government grant proceeds would be used to determine depreciation or other subsequent accounting for that asset.
This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Business entities should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following transition approaches:
1.A modified prospective approach to both government grants that are entered into on or after the effective date and government grants that are not complete as of the effective date. Under this approach, prior-period results should not be restated and there is no cumulative-effect adjustment.
2.A modified retrospective approach to both government grants that are entered into on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented and government grants that are not complete as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Under this approach, all prior period results should be restated for government grants that are not complete as of the beginning of the

earliest period presented through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
3.A retrospective approach to all government grants through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however, it anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” to clarify certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and to better reflect an entity’s risk management strategies in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions. This ASU addresses the following five issues:
1.Similar Risk Assessment for Cash Flow Hedges – This ASU expands the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge by changing the requirement to designate a group of individual forecasted transactions from having a shared risk exposure to having a similar risk exposure.
2.Hedging Forecasted Interest Payments on Choose-Your-Rate Debt Instruments – This ASU provides a model to facilitate the application of cash flow hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments with contractual terms that permit the borrower to change the interest rate index and related payment frequency upon which interest is accrued (commonly referred to as “choose-your-rate” debt instruments).
3.Cash Flow Hedges of Nonfinancial Forecasted Transactions – This ASU expands hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets. Subject to meeting specific criteria, entities are permitted to apply hedge accounting for eligible components of forecasted spot-market transactions, forward-market transactions, and subcomponents of explicitly referenced components in an agreement’s pricing formula. The amendments also clarify that entities may designate a variable price component in a contract that is accounted for as a derivative as the hedged risk if all other hedge criteria are satisfied.
4.Net Written Options as Hedging Instruments – This ASU updates hedge accounting guidance to accommodate differences in the loan and swap markets that developed after the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amendments eliminate the requirement to apply the net written option test to a compound derivative comprising a swap and a written option designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge of interest rate risk.
5.Foreign-Currency-Denominated Debt Instrument as Hedging Instrument and Hedged Item (Dual Hedge) – This ASU eliminates the recognition and presentation mismatch related to a dual hedge strategy (i.e., a hedge for which a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument is both designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge and designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk). The amendments require that an entity exclude the debt instrument’s fair value hedge basis adjustment from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment, resulting in an entity immediately recognizing in earnings the gains and losses from the remeasurement of the debt instrument’s fair value hedge basis adjustment at the spot exchange rate.
This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships. Upon adoption of this ASU, entities are permitted to modify certain critical terms of certain existing hedging relationships without de-designating the hedge. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however, it anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” to address concerns about (1) the application of derivative accounting to contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract and (2) the diversity in accounting for share-based noncash consideration from a customer that is consideration for the transfer of goods or services. The amendments in this ASU expand the scope exception for application of derivative accounting for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. The amendments in this ASU also clarify that an entity should apply the guidance in Topic 606 to a contract with share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial

statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the current accounting guidance, an entity estimates expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The amendments in this ASU introduce a practical expedient that allows all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03 “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810)” to modify the Topic 805 framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under current accounting guidance, when a VIE is acquired, the primary beneficiary (i.e., the entity that consolidates the VIE) is the accounting acquirer. The amendments in this ASU revise current guidance to: (1) limit situations in which entities must identify the primary beneficiary as the accounting acquirer in certain business combinations, and (2) require that when a business combination involving a VIE is primarily effected through exchanging equity interests, entities must consider the general factors in Topic 805 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. This ASU should be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2025-03 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” to improve the disclosure about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of the following items in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting date:
1The amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contain any of the expense categories listed in (a) through (e).
2A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
3The total amount of selling expenses recognized in continuing operations, and the entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments of this ASU also require that an entity include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” to improve the relevance and consistency in application of induced conversion guidance. The amendments in this ASU clarify the assessment of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact

of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, it anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2024-04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Blue Mountain Purchase Transaction
On June 18, 2025, the Company closed a purchase transaction with Cyrq Energy to acquire 100% ownership of the Blue Mountain geothermal power plant for a total consideration of $88.7 million (including customary post-closing working capital adjustments). The Blue Mountain power plant is a 20MW facility, located in Humboldt County, NV, under a Power Purchase Agreement (the “PPA”) with NV Energy that expires at the end of 2029.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its overall generation capacity and expects to improve the profitability of the power plant through cost reduction, synergies and upgrades. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, and following the transaction, the Company consolidates the power plant in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $1.2 million of acquisition- related costs. Such costs are included under "General and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the respective periods. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):
| | | | | |
Trade receivables and others (1) | $ | 1.7 | |

(1) The gross amount of trade receivables was collected subsequent to the acquisition date.
(2) The fair value of Property, plant and equipment was estimated by applying the income approach and utilizing the discounted cash flow method. This methodology assesses the value of tangible assets by computing the anticipated cash flows expected to be generated by the respective assets.
(3) Other long-term liability is related to the long-term electricity PPA described above, and is amortized over the term of the PPA. The fair value of the long-term liability represents a PPA price that is relatively lower than the related prevailing market price, and was estimated by applying the income approach and utilizing the With and Without method.
(4) Goodwill is primarily related to the expected synergies, potential cost savings in operations as a result of the purchase transaction as well as potential future enhancements to the geothermal assets. The goodwill is allocated to the Electricity segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the acquired power plant contributed $6.6 million to the Company’s Electricity revenues, and $4.1 million to the Company's earnings which were included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for that period. Pro forma information is not provided as the Company deemed this information to be immaterial.
Business Combination - Enel Purchase Transaction
On January 4, 2024, the Company closed a purchase transaction with Enel Green Power North America (“EGPNA”), a subsidiary of Enel SpA (ENEL.MI) to acquire a portfolio of assets which includes two contracted geothermal power plants, one triple hybrid power plant which consists of geothermal, solar PV, and solar thermal units, two stand-alone solar power plants, and two greenfield development assets, for a total cash consideration of $274.6 million (including customary post-

closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price, based on the levels of net working capital of the acquired companies) for 100% of the equity interests in the entities holding those assets.
The geothermal power plants include the Cove Fort power plant located in Beaver County, Utah, which sells electricity under a long-term power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Salt River Project, and the Salt Wells power plant located in Churchill County, Nevada, which sells electricity under a long-term PPA with NV Energy. The Stillwater triple hybrid geothermal, solar PV and solar thermal power plant is located in Churchill County, Nevada, and sells electricity to NV Energy under a PPA. The solar assets of Stillwater solar PV II in Churchill County, Nevada, and Woods Hill in Windham County, Connecticut, sell their electricity under PPAs, respectively.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its overall generation capacity and expects to improve the profitability of the purchased assets through cost reduction, synergies and development of the greenfield assets. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, and following the transaction, the Company consolidates the power plants and all other assets included in the transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation.
During 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $1.3 million, and $1.1 million of acquisition-related costs, respectively. Such costs are included under "General and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the respective periods.

The Sarulla Complex
The Company holds a 12.75% equity interest in a consortium that developed the 330 MW Sarulla geothermal power plant project in Tapanuli Utara, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The Sarulla project is comprised of three separately constructed 110 MW units. The Sarulla project is owned and operated by the consortium members under the framework of a joint operating contract and energy sales contract that were both executed on April 4, 2013. Under the joint operating contract, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy, the concession holder for the project, provided the consortium with the right to use the geothermal field, and under the energy sales contract, PT PLN, the state electric utility, is the off-taker at the Sarulla complex for a period of 30 years. The Company has a significant influence over the Sarulla project through representation on Sarulla's board of directors, and thus accounts for its investment in the Sarulla geothermal project under the equity method prescribed by ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company made no cash equity investment in the Sarulla complex. As of December 31, 2025, total cash investment in the Sarulla complex since its inception is $62.0 million.
The Sarulla consortium entered into interest rate swap agreements with various international banks, effective as of June 4, 2014, and accounted for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge under which changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, relative to the effective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income.
The Company’s share of such gains (losses) recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

| Change in unrealized gains or (losses) in respect of the Company's share in derivatives instruments of unconsolidated investment that qualifies as a cash flow hedge | $ | (1,230) | | | $ | 602 | | | $ | (470) | |
The related accumulated gain recorded by the Company under accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and was $0.9 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2022, Sarulla agreed with its banks on a framework that will enable it to perform remediation works that are aimed to restore the power plants' performance. The first phase of the recovery plan included the drilling of an additional production well, which was successful, and certain modifications to surface equipment are still underway. Following the positive indications from the first phase, during the second quarter of 2024, Sarulla commenced discussions with the banks towards implementation of the additional phases and expects to commence drilling of additional two wells, in 2026, aiming for the same target zone of the successful well drilled earlier. As the Company determined that the current situation and circumstances related to its equity method investment in Sarulla are temporary, no impairment testing was required at year-end.
The Ijen Project
On July 2, 2019, the Company acquired 49% of the Ijen geothermal project from a subsidiary of Medco Power (“Medco”), which is a party to a Power Purchase Agreement and holds a geothermal license to develop the Ijen project in

East Java in Indonesia for a total consideration of approximately $2.7 million. As part of the transaction, the Company committed to make additional funding for the exploration and development of the project, subject to specific conditions. During 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company made additional cash investments of approximately $14.9 million, $15.9 million, and $6.1 million, respectively, and $79.5 million in total. Medco retains 51% ownership in the project company, and the Company and Medco operate the power plant jointly. The Company accounted for its investment in the Ijen geothermal project company under the equity method prescribed by ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Refer to Note 18 - Transactions with Related Entities for additional information related to the Ijen project.
NOTE 6 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company’s overall methodology for evaluating transactions and relationships under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) accounting and disclosure requirements includes the following two steps: (i) determining whether the entity meets the criteria to qualify as a VIE; and (ii) determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
In performing the first step, the significant factors and judgments that the Company considers in making the determination as to whether an entity is a VIE include: (i) the design of the entity, including the nature of its risks and the purpose for which the entity was created, to determine the variability that the entity was designed to create and distribute to its interest holders; (ii) the nature of the Company’s involvement with the entity; (iii) whether control of the entity may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting equity; (iv) whether there is sufficient equity investment at risk to finance the activities of the entity; and (v) whether parties other than the equity holders have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns.
If the Company identifies a VIE based on the above considerations, it then performs the second step and evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE by considering the following significant factors and judgments: (i) whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company’s VIEs include certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries that own one or more power plants with long-term PPAs. In most cases, the PPAs require the utility to purchase substantially all of the plant’s electrical output over a significant portion of its estimated useful life. Some of the VIEs have associated project financing debt that is non-recourse to the general creditors of the Company, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the VIE and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries (also VIEs) and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries. The Company has concluded that such entities are VIEs primarily because the entities do not have sufficient equity at risk and/or subordinated financial support is provided through the long-term PPAs. The Company has evaluated each of its VIEs to determine the primary beneficiary by considering the party that has the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity. Such activities include, among others, construction of the power plant, operations and maintenance, dispatch of electricity, financing and strategy. Except for power plants that it acquired, the Company is responsible for the construction of its power plants and generally provides operation and maintenance services. Primarily due to its involvement in these and other activities, the Company has concluded that it directs the most significant activities at each of its VIEs and, therefore, is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company performs an ongoing reassessment of the VIEs to determine the primary beneficiary for each. The Company has aggregated its consolidated VIEs into the following categories: (i) wholly owned subsidiaries with project debt; and (ii) wholly owned subsidiaries with PPAs.

NOTE 7— FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value represents the amount that would be received upon selling an asset or paid upon transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
Level 1 — unadjusted observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — unobservable inputs.
The following table sets forth certain fair value information at December 31, 2025 and 2024 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy, as well as cost or amortized cost. As required by the fair value measurement guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A hypothetical change in the quoted bid price of the convertible senior notes will result in a corresponding change in the estimated fair value of these notes. The carrying value of the deposits of $11.4 million, the short term revolving credit lines with banks of $80.0 million, and the commercial paper of $100.0 million, approximate their fair value. Future changes to the interest rate may have a direct impact on the fair value of the Company's financial instruments.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Brawley power plant has been generating electricity below its generating capacity and at less than 3MW, which was lower than its capacity and Company’s expectations, primarily due to the continuous wellfield issues. In the fourth quarter of 2025, as part of its resources allocation plan, the Company decided to cease all additional investments in the Brawley power plant as all previous remediation efforts have failed. As a result, the Company concluded that the Brawley power plant will no longer generate positive future cash flows and estimated the fair value of the Brawley power plant assets to be zero. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $7.2 million which was presented in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under “Impairment of long-lived-assets” for the year ended December 31, 2025. This write-off is allocated to the Electricity segment.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $4.9 million related to the expected termination of a waste-heat agreement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, OREG2, and its customer. As a result of the expected waste-heat agreement termination, the Company concluded that the facility is no longer expected to generate positive future cash flows and estimated the related fair value of the facility to be zero. This non-cash impairment loss was presented in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under “Impairment of long-lived-assets” for the year ended December 31, 2025. This write-off is allocated to the Electricity segment.

Convertible Senior Notes
On June 22, 2022, the Company issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.5% convertible senior notes (the “Notes”, or the “Original Notes”) due 2027. Additionally, on July 15, 2024, the Company issued an additional 2.5% convertible senior notes (the “Additional Notes”) as further described below. The Original Notes were offered and sold in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Additionally, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $56.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The initial purchasers executed their option on June 27, 2022, and by that, increased the total aggregated principal amount of the Notes issued to $431.25 million. The Notes bear annual interest of 2.5%, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2023. The Notes mature on July 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased and are the Company's senior unsecured obligations.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock); (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a holder or holders of the Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption (the Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025), at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after January 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.
The initial conversion rate was 11.0776 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $90.27 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, it will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption, as the case may be. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to July 21, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after July 21, 2025 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, but excluding the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (other than certain exempted fundamental changes), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company incurred approximately $11.6 million of costs in respect of the issuance of the Notes, which were deferred and are presented as a reduction to the Notes principal amounts on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred issuance costs are amortized over the term of the Notes into interest expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $2.7 million, $2.5 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, were recorded as amortized issuance costs under interest expenses, net. The effective interest rate on the Notes, including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs, is 3.1%. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $11.9 million, $11.4 million, and $10.7 million, respectively, were recorded as interest expenses on these Notes.
ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the Notes as described above, on June 27, 2022, the Company used approximately $221.9 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of these Notes to prepay its Series 3 Bonds that were set to mature in September 2022 in a single bullet payment.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes described above, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the Notes of approximately 4.8 million shares of common stock and at an initial strike price of $90.27 per share. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, in the event that at the time of conversion, the Common Stock price exceeds the conversion price. If, however, the market price per share of Common Stock exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls, there would nevertheless be dilution or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls.
The Capped Calls exercise price is equal to the $90.27 initial conversion price of each of the Notes and the cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $107.63 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 55% above the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the Notes offering and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Capped Calls transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the option counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the Notes.
The Company paid approximately $24.5 million for the Capped Calls which was recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital in the consolidated statements of equity in the second quarter of 2022, as such transactions qualify for the equity classification with no subsequent adjustment to fair value under ASU 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Capped Calls are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact is anti-dilutive. The Capped Calls transaction does not cover the Additional Notes described below.
Additional 2.50% Senior Convertible Notes
On July 15, 2024, the Company issued an additional $45.2 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to the indenture, dated June 27, 2022, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated July 15, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Additional Notes constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series with, the $431.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 originally issued in June 2022 (the “Original Convertible Notes” and together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The Additional Notes will have substantially identical terms to the Existing Convertible Notes, except that the Additional Notes have a different issuance date and will initially trade under a different restricted CUSIP number than the Existing Convertible Notes until such time as the Additional Notes are no longer required to bear restrictive legends under the Indenture and have an unrestricted CUSIP. The aggregated proceeds received from the issuance of the Additional Notes were $44.0 million, net of discount and fees of $1.1 million.
Financing Liability
The financing liability was assumed by the Company as part of the purchase transaction with TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC in July 2021, under which it acquired a number of geothermal assets and a transmission line. The financing liability is related to a sale and leaseback transaction entered into by TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC in September 2015 under which it sold and leased back the undivided interests in the Dixie Valley power plant asset through June 2038. The lease transaction was accounted for by the TG Geothermal Portfolio, LLC as a finance lease due to the its continued involvement and management of the power plant and the existence of an early buy-out option in September 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company decided to defer the buy-out payment to June 2038, as permitted under the lease transaction agreement, which resulted in an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the financing liability which increased from 2.55% to 6.12%, prospectively, and is being re-evaluated every quarter. The annual interest rate of the financing liability as of December 31, 2025, was 6.01%.

Restrictive Covenants
The Company’s obligations under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds, described above, are unsecured, but are subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants. These include, among other things, a prohibition on: (i) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over the Company's assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (ii) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third-party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (iii) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or a change of control in the Company's ownership structure. Some of the credit agreements, the term loan agreements, as well as the trust instrument contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third-party. In some cases, including the credit agreements with MUFG Union Bank and with HSBC Bank USA N.A., the Company has agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least $750 million and in no event less than 25% of total assets; and (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents marketable securities and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 6.0. As of December 31, 2025: (i) total equity was $2,680.9 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 42.9%, and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents marketable securities and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.36 and as such, the covenants have been met as of December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company distributed dividends in an aggregate amount of $29.1 million.
We are currently in compliance with our covenants with respect to the credit agreements, the loan agreements and the trust instrument (except as described below), and believe that the restrictive covenants, financial ratios and other terms of any of our full-recourse bank credit agreements will not materially impact our business plan or operations.
As of December 31, 2025, we did not meet the dividend distribution criteria related to the DAC 1 Senior Secured Notes, which resulted in certain equity distribution restrictions from this related subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, the amount restricted for distribution by this subsidiary was $1.0 million. There were no restrictions on the retained earnings or net income of Ormat Technologies, Inc., as the parent company, in respect of these matters, as of December 31, 2025.

The Company continues to operate and maintain the power plants and will receive substantially all the distributable cash flow generated by the power plants, as described below.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, prior to December 31, 2032 (the “Target Flip Date”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ormat Nevada Inc. (“Ormat Nevada”), receives substantially all of the distributable cash flow generated by the project, while the private investor receives substantially all of the tax attributes of the project. Following the later of the Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, Ormat Nevada will receive 95% of the distributable cash and taxable income, on a go-forward basis. In the event that the private investor will not reach its target return by the Target Flip Date, then for the period between the Target Flip Date and the date on which the private investor reaches its target return, the private investor will receive 75% of the distributable cash generated by the power plants and 99% of the tax attributes as long as the power plants are generating PTCs.
On the Target Flip Date, Ormat Nevada has the option to purchase the private investor’s interests at the then-current fair market value, plus an amount that causes the private investor to reach its target return, if needed. If Ormat Nevada exercises this purchase option, it will become the sole owner of the power plants again.

Transferable Production and Investment Tax Credits
Under the current IRA provision that includes a transferability provision for certain tax credits related to the clean production of energy, a reporting entity can monetize such credits through sale to a third-party. The option for transferability of credits applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. Several of the Company’s projects, which are not currently part of a tax monetization transaction, generate eligible tax credits, such as ITCs and PTCs, that are eligible to be transferred to a third-party under the existing provisions of the IRA. The Company accounts for ITCs under ASC 740 through the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. PTCs are accounted similarly to refundable or direct-pay credits outside of the “Income tax (provision) benefit” line with income recognized in the “Income attributable to sale of tax benefits” line in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Income recognized related to the expected sale of such transferable PTCs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $17.9 million, and $23.4 million, net of discount, respectively. Tax benefits recognized under Income tax (provision) benefit related to transferable ITCs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $44.1 million and $47.7 million, net of discount, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the total future compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards that are expected to vest is $14.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.15 years.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded compensation related to stock-based awards as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Valuation Assumptions
The Company estimates the fair value of the stock-based awards using the Black-Merton-Scholes methodology implemented using binomial Tree option pricing model. The dividend yield forecast is expected to be at least 20% of the Company’s yearly net profit, which is equivalent to a 0.7% yearly weighted average dividend rate in the year ended December 31, 2025. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield from U.S. constant treasury maturities bonds with an equivalent term. The forfeiture rate is based on trends in actual stock-based awards forfeitures.
The Company calculated the fair value of each stock-based award on the date of grant based on the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| For stock based awards issued by the Company: | | | | | |
| Risk-free interest rates | 4.0 | % | | 4.5 | % | | 4.2 | % |
| Expected lives (in weighted average years) | 2.1 | | 2.2 | | 2.5 |
| Dividend yield | 0.7 | % | | 0.7 | % | | 0.6 | % |
| Expected volatility (weighted average) | 28.8 | % | | 31.9 | % | | 38.2 | % |
The Company estimated the forfeiture rate (on a weighted average basis) as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Weighted average forfeiture rate | 8.8 | % | | 8.2 | % | | 8 | % |
Stock-based Awards
The 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan
The 2018 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of the following types of awards: incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), Performance Stock Units (“PSUs), stock units, performance awards, phantom stock, incentive bonuses and other possible related dividend equivalents to employees of the Company, directors and independent contractors. SARs, RSUs and PSUs granted to employees under the 2018 Incentive Plan typically vest and become exercisable as follows: 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, or 33.3% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. SARs, RSUs and PSUs granted to directors under the 2018 Incentive Plan typically vest and become exercisable (100%) on the first anniversary of the grant date. The term of stock-based awards typically ranges from six to ten years from the grant date. The shares of common stock issued in respect of awards under the 2018 Incentive Plan are issued from the Company’s authorized share capital upon exercise of options or SARs. In June 2022, the 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance (which was initially 5,000,000) by 1,700,000 shares, to change the fungible ratio, and to implement a one year mandatory minimum vesting period, and in May 2024 amended and restated again to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 1,400,000 shares.
As of December 31, 2025, 2,145,870 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for future grants under the 2018 Incentive Plan.
In March 2025, the Company granted certain members of its management and employees an aggregate of 210,961 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 45,190 performance stock units ("PSUs") under the Company’s 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan. The RSUs and PSUs have vesting periods of between 1 to 3 years from the grant date.
The fair value of each RSU and PSU on the grant date was $68.9 and $70.9, respectively. The Company calculated the fair value of each RSU and PSU on the grant date using the Black-Merton-Scholes using binomial Tree option pricing model, and the Monte Carlo simulation, based on the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Risk-free interest rates | | 3.95% | — | 4.08% |

At December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $30.4 million, all of which was generated before 2018 and expires by 2038.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had PTCs in the amount of $107.8 million. These PTCs are available for a 20-year period and begin to expire in 2027. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no remaining ITCs. At December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. foreign tax credits (“FTCs”) in the amount of $6.0 million. These FTCs are available for a 10-year period, and begin to expire in 2028.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had state NOL carryforwards of approximately $238.3 million, $233.7 million which expire between 2026 and 2045 and $4.6 million are available to be carried forward for an indefinite period.
The Company has recorded deferred tax assets for net operating losses, foreign tax credits, and production tax credits. Realization of the deferred tax assets and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in appropriate jurisdictions prior to expiration of the NOL carryforwards and tax credits. Based upon available evidence of the Company’s ability to generate additional taxable income in the future and historical losses in prior years, a valuation allowance in the amount of $2.6 million and $2.7 million is recorded against the U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The overall decrease in the valuation allowance of $0.1 million is due to the ability to utilize attributes that previously have been fully valued. The Company is maintaining a valuation allowance of $2.6 million against a portion of its state NOLs and capital loss carryforward that are expected to expire before they can be utilized in future periods.
On April 24, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of stock of USG for approximately $110 million. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.7 million comprised primarily of federal and state NOLs netted against deferred tax liabilities for partnership basis differences and fixed assets. The total amount of acquired federal and state NOLs, which are subject to limitations under Section 382, were $113.9 million and $49.9 million, respectively. A valuation allowance of $1.8 million has been recorded against such acquired state NOLs, as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The FASB released guidance Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, that states a company can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes related to GILTI or to provide for the GILTI tax expense in the year the tax is incurred as a period cost. The Company has elected to treat any GILTI inclusions as a period cost. We have elected and applied the tax law ordering approach when considering GILTI as part of our valuation allowance.
The Company uses the flow-through method to account for investment tax credit earned on eligible battery storage projects. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned rather than a reduction in the asset basis.

At December 31, 2025, the Company is no longer indefinitely reinvested with respect to the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries due to forecasted changes in cash needs and the impact of U.S. tax reform. The Company has accrued withholding taxes that would be owed upon future distributions of such earnings. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Company has accrued $12.6 million of foreign withholding taxes on future distributions of foreign earnings.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite evidence supporting the position. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax audits. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that are considered probable.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are $10.4 million and $6.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that if recognized would reduce the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities on an underpayment of income taxes are included as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
A reconciliation of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns for federal and state (where applicable) purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not been subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations.
The Company remains open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 2007-2024 and by local state jurisdictions for the years 2010-2024. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to the Company's taxes or the Company's net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries remain open to examination by the local income tax authorities in the following countries for the years indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Israel | 2023 | – | 2025 |
| Kenya | 2020 | – | 2025 |

Management believes that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including among others, past experience and interpretations of local income tax regulations. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. As a result, it is possible that federal, state and foreign tax examinations will result in assessments in future periods. To the extent any such assessments occur, the Company will adjust its liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that will be reduced within the next twelve months.
Tax Benefits in the United States
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in the United States. The Company believes that the construction and operations of its geothermal power plants, recovered energy-based power plants, battery energy storage systems and solar PV will benefit in the future from the IRA and enhance the economic feasibility of projects in the United States. PTCs can be generated from 3.00 cents per kWh, once the Wages & Apprenticeship rules are met, and if bonus credit requirements are met the credit could rise up to 3.63 cents per kWh. ITCs can be earned on investments from 30.0%, once the Wages & Apprenticeship rules are met, and if bonus credit requirements are met the credit could rise up to 50.0%. Battery Energy Storage Systems are eligible for ITC for projects placed-in-service after December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company can now monetize PTCs and ITCs earned by transferring the credits to a third-party without having to enter into a tax equity transaction.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and numerous changes to the energy tax credits initially introduced and expanded under the IRA. The OBBBA allows for geothermal and battery storage to qualify for 100% PTC or ITC related to projects that start construction by the end of December 2033, 75% PTC or ITC by the end of December 2034 and 50% PTC or ITC by the end of December 2035. In order to qualify for 100% energy credit, solar projects must start construction by July 4, 2026 and be placed-in-service within four years, or start construction after July 3, 2026 and be placed-in-service by December 31, 2027. The law seeks to limit content from foreign entities of concern (“FEOC”) used in energy related projects that start construction after December 31, 2025. Under the new FEOC rules, a U.S. energy project can only receive specific tax credits if the project’s equipment from certain FEOC- related entities does not exceed set amounts, and the rules disqualify other credits from applying to US-made products that contain too many inputs from certain FEOC- related entities. The rules also prevent a company from receiving specific tax credits if it relies too much on investment or material assistance from certain FEOC- related entities, including in circumstances where a contract, license, or other arrangement gives an FEOC- related entity effective control over the company or its projects or products.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2). Certain aspects of Pillar 2 became effective January 1, 2024, and other aspects became effective January 1, 2025. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company met the revenue threshold requirements and is now subject to Pillar 2. The impact of Pillar 2 resulted in an income tax expense of $1.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
In January 2026, the OECD released a “side-by-side” package introducing new safe harbors and providing an exemption for U.S. based multi-national companies from parts of the global minimum corporate tax. The updated model rules will need to be incorporated into local tax legislation to be effective. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the proposed legislative changes as new guidance becomes available.
Income Taxes Related to Foreign Operations
Dominica – On June 25, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Dominica Ministry of Finance stating that during the construction phase of our BOT project in Dominica, the Company would enjoy a 0% income tax rate. Once this project reaches commercial operation, the Company will enjoy a 10% preferential income tax rate granted to the Company by the Dominica government.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Guadeloupe — The Company’s operations in Guadeloupe are taxed at a maximum rate of 26.5% in 2021, and 25% in 2022 and beyond.
Guatemala — The enacted tax rate is 25%. Orzunil, a wholly owned subsidiary, was granted a benefit under a law which promotes development of renewable power sources. The law allows Orzunil to reduce the investment made in its geothermal power plant from income tax payable, which currently reduces the effective tax rate to zero. Ortitlan pays income tax of 7% on its Electricity revenues.
Honduras — The Company’s operations in Honduras are exempt from income taxes for the first ten years starting at the commercial operation date of the power plant, which was in September 2017.
Israel — The Company’s operations in Israel through its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Ormat Systems Ltd. (“Ormat Systems”), are taxed at a reduced corporate tax rate under the “Benefited Enterprise” tax regime of the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 1959 (the “Investment Law”), with respect to two of its investment programs. In January 2011, new legislation amending the Investment Law by adding, inter alia, the Preferred Enterprise Regime was enacted. Under the Preferred Enterprise Regime, a uniform reduced corporate tax rate would apply to all qualified income of certain industrial companies, as opposed to the Investment Law incentives that are limited to income from a “Benefited Enterprise” during their benefits period. According to the amendment, the uniform tax rate applicable to the zone where the production facilities of Ormat Systems are located is 16% for qualifying income.
Kenya — In June 2023, the President of Kenya signed into law the 2023 Finance Act ("Finance Act"). The Finance Act, among several other changes, reduced the statutory corporate income tax rate for Branches from 37.5% to 30%, introduced a Branch Profits tax based on the change in Net Assets and limits interest deductions to 30% of EBITDA. The Finance Act also reduced the corporate tax rate on Branches from 37.5% to 30.0%. The Company implemented this change and recorded an associated benefit during 2023.
NOTE 17 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has three reporting segments: the Electricity segment, the Product segment and the Energy Storage segment. These segments are managed and reported separately as each offers different products and serves different markets. Under the Electricity segment, the Company builds, owns and operates geothermal, solar PV and recovered energy-based power plants in the United States, and geothermal power plants in foreign countries, and sells the electricity generated by those power plants. Under the Product segment, the Company designs, manufactures and sells equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants. Under the Energy Storage segment, the Company owns and operates grid connected In-Front-of-the-Meter battery energy storage systems, which provide capacity, energy and/or ancillary services directly to the electric grid.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described under Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Transfer prices between the segments were determined on current market values or cost plus markup of the seller’s segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of its CEO and CFO. To evaluate segment performance and allocate the Company’s resources, the CODM uses segment measures of gross profit and operating income. The CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances of both profit measures on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocation of the Company’s resources to the segments.
Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables, including the Company's disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers as required by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Total consolidated revenues, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss) of the Company’s business segments exclude intersegment revenues, gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss) as these activities are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in CODM’s evaluation of performance of each segment.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company matched employee contributions, after completion of one year of service, up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s annual salary. The Company’s contributions to the Plan were $4.6 million, $4.3 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Severance Plan
The Company, through Ormat Systems, provides limited non-pension benefits to all current employees in Israel who are entitled to benefits in the event of termination or retirement in accordance with the Israeli Government sponsored programs. These plans generally obligate the Company to pay one month’s salary per year of service to employees in the event of involuntary termination. There is no limit on the number of years of service in the calculation of the benefit obligation. The liabilities for these plans are recorded at each balance sheet date by determining the undiscounted obligation as if it were payable at that point in time. Such liabilities have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as “liabilities for severance pay”. The Company has an obligation to partially fund the liabilities through regular deposits in pension funds and severance pay funds. The amounts funded are $5.8 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as part of “Deposits and other”. The severance pay liability covered by the pension funds is not reflected in the financial statements as the severance pay risks

have been irrevocably transferred to the pension funds. Under the Israeli severance pay law, restricted funds may not be withdrawn or pledged until the respective severance pay obligations have been met. As allowed under the program, earnings from the investment are used to offset severance pay costs. Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $2.8 million, $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which are net of income (loss) amounting to $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $(0.2) million, respectively, generated from the regular deposits and amounts accrued in severance funds.
The Company expects to pay the following future benefits to its employees upon their reaching normal retirement age, not including amounts already funded into the severance funds to-date: | | | | | |

| 2030 | 502 |

The above amounts were determined based on the employees’ current salary rates and the number of years’ service that will have been accumulated at their retirement date. These amounts do not include amounts that might be paid to employees that will cease working with the Company before reaching their normal retirement age.
NOTE 20 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Geothermal Resources
The Company, through its project subsidiaries in the United States and other foreign locations, controls certain rights to geothermal fluids through certain leases with the BLM or through private leases. Royalties on the utilization of the geothermal resources are computed and paid to the lessors as defined in the respective agreements. Royalty expense under the geothermal resource agreements were $31.0 million, $32.1 million and $30.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Letters of Credit
In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors, and lenders, the Company is contingently liable for performance under letters of credit totaling $286.0 million at December 31, 2025. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these letters of credit because performance is not expected to be required.
Purchase Commitments
The Company purchases raw materials for inventories, construction-in-process and services from a variety of vendors. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help assure adequate supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure goods and services based upon specifications defined by the Company, or that establish parameters defining the Company’s requirements. At December 31, 2025, total obligations related to such supplier agreements were $355.1 million (out of which $106.7 million relate to construction-in-process). All such obligations are payable in 2026.
Grants and Royalties
The Company, through Ormat Systems, had historically, through December 31, 2003, requested and received grants for research and development from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Government. Ormat Systems is required to pay royalties to the Israeli Government at a rate of 3.5% to 5.0% of the revenues derived from products and services developed using these grants. No royalties were paid for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company is not liable for royalties if the Company does not sell such products and services. Such royalties are capped at the amount of the grants received plus interest of 5.9%. The cap at December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $2.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of which approximately $1.8 million and $1.6 million, represents the interest portion, as defined above, for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Contingencies
In February 2025, Engie Resources, LLC and certain of its affiliates filed an action against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which was later re-filed in the Texas Business Court. The complaint alleges that the Company breached its contractual obligations, including certain indemnity obligations, under certain service agreements with or involving the plaintiffs, by failing to properly schedule responsive reserve service on behalf of the plaintiffs during the power crisis in Texas in February 2021. The plaintiffs originally sought $47.5 million in damages. In December 2025, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add claims related to the same facts, seeking an additional $7.0 million in damages. The Company considers it has strong legal defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims and take all necessary legal action to have them dismissed. The Company has filed a motion for summary judgment with a hearing date set for March 20, 2026. Trial is scheduled to begin subject to the outcome of the motion for summary judgment on May 18, 2026. No amounts have been accrued for potential losses under this matter, as the Company believes the probability of the claimant receiving a material award is low and it cannot currently reasonably predict the outcome of the proceedings, which is inherently uncertain.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to other various lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Business Combination - Solar and Storage Facility Purchase Transaction
On January 29, 2026, the Company closed a purchase transaction with Innergex Renewables USA LLC. to acquire a solar and storage facility on the Big Island of Hawaii, for a total cash consideration of $80.5 million (subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price) for 100% of the equity interests in the entity holding this asset. The acquired assets include a 30MW solar PV facility paired with a 30MW/120MWh battery energy storage system, which achieved commercial operation in March 2025. All output from the facility is sold under a 25-year fixed price power purchase agreement with HECO.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company expanded its overall storage and solar generation capacity and expects to improve the profitability of the purchased assets through cost reduction and synergies. The Company will account for the transaction under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company is still evaluating the accounting related to the purchase transaction, including the purchase price allocation, and therefore, such allocation is not provided herewith. The Company expects to consolidate the acquired assets in its consolidated financial statements starting from the transaction close date.
