Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed strong execution on operations, commercialization and funding with several concrete metrics (Q4 adjusted EBITDA $237M, full-year CAFD $430M, 2026 guidance $470M–$510M) and a large, well-commercialized pipeline supporting ambitious 2027 and 2030 CAFD per share targets. Management highlighted robust PPA pricing (roughly double vs three years ago), signed ~2 GW of new PPAs, attractive repowering yields (>11%), and enhanced capital flexibility (closed $600M notes, $100M equity raised, stock +30%). Headwinds included below-median wind in Q4, solar timing impacts, modest near-term CAFD uplift from individual recontracts, and typical execution/funding/permitting sensitivities tied to achieving long-term targets. Overall, positives around growth visibility, funding and operational delivery significantly outweigh the few near-term performance and execution risks.
Company Guidance
Clearway reiterated 2026 CAFD guidance of $470–$510 million (midpoint assumes P50 renewable production) after delivering full‑year 2025 CAFD of $430 million (above the $400–$440m original range) and reporting Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $237 million and quarterly CAFD of $35 million; management reaffirmed a 2027 CAFD/share target of $2.70+ and a 2030 CAFD/share target of $2.90–$3.10 (implying a 7–8% CAGR from 2025) with upside to 5–8%+ growth in 2031+ from the 2030 baseline. 2025 execution added ~1.3 GW of projects and ~2 GW of new PPAs with hyperscalers; >900 MW of repowerings are on track for 2027 COD with CAFD yields in excess of 11%; 100% of 2026/2027 repowering and new‑build projects are commercialized, ~50% of 2028 late‑stage MWs are contracted, 2029 development activity exceeds 7 GW with potential to deploy well over $600 million of corporate capital that year, and the company expects to develop roughly 2 GW+/year into the 2030s. Identified growth financing includes ~$1.3 billion of 2027–2028 corporate capital opportunities targeted at ≥10.5% CAFD yields, the ability to deploy at least $650 million incremental capital over 2028–2030 (with optionality to scale), a prior ~$2.5 billion corporate capital plan to reach 2030 goals, recent funding actions including $600 million of senior notes due 2034 and ~$100 million of opportunistic equity issuance, and a long‑term funding framework targeting ~4.0–4.5x leverage, a BB target rating and a post‑2030 payout ratio below 70%.
Full-Year CAFD Above Guidance Midpoint
Full-year cash available for distribution (CAFD) of $430 million, above the midpoint of original guidance ($400M–$440M) and at the top end of the original range per management commentary.
Quarterly Financials
Fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $237 million and CAFD (free cash flow) of $35 million.
2026 Guidance Reaffirmed
Management reiterated 2026 CAFD guidance range of $470 million to $510 million.
Clear Long-Term CAFD per Share Targets and CAGR
Reiterated 2027 CAFD per share target of $2.70 or better and 2030 CAFD per share target of $2.90–$3.10, representing a 7%–8% CAGR from 2025; management expects sustained CAFD per share growth of roughly 5%–8%+ beyond 2030.
Growth Execution — Projects and Pipeline
Enterprise added ~1.3 gigawatts of value-enhancing projects in 2025; 100% of planned repowering and new construction projects in the 2026–2027 vintages have been commercialized; 2029 development activity exceeds 7 GW, providing a sizable pipeline well above what is required for 2030 objectives.
Sponsor-Enabled Growth and PPAs
Signed approximately 2.0 GW of new PPAs with hyperscalers and utilities in 2025; management noted PPA pricing for comparable markets today is roughly double (~100% increase) versus three years ago and sees sustained robust pricing across geographies.
Attractive Yield Opportunities on Repowerings
Planned repowerings totaling >900 MW are expected to deliver CAFD yields in excess of 11% while extending wind fleet life.
Strengthened Funding Capacity
Closed upsized $600 million senior unsecured notes due 2034 at attractive spreads (second tightest high-yield issuance spread in sector since 2020); executed $100 million of opportunistic equity issuances (two $50M tranches) that management describes as the least dilutive in platform history; stock price up over 30% since late August, improving capital flexibility.
Near-Term Deployment Optionality
Company is well placed to deploy at least $650 million incremental corporate capital over 2028–2030 (on top of prior plans) and has line-of-sight to deploy well over $600 million in corporate capital in 2029, subject to capital allocation discipline.
Operational Performance and Availability
Management highlighted high plant availability across technologies in 2025, strong operational execution, and on-time commercial operations contributing to outperformance vs guidance.
