KEY FIGURES

Innergex measures its performance using key performance indicators ("KPIs"). Innergex believes that these indicators are important, as they provide management and the reader with additional information about its production and cash-generating capabilities, its ability to pay dividends and fund its growth.

These indicators are not recognized measures under IFRS, have no standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to those presented by other issuers. Please refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section for more information.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Innergex develops, acquires, owns and operates renewable power-generating facilities with a focus on hydroelectric, wind and solar production as well as energy storage technologies. The Corporation's fundamental goal is to create wealth by efficiently managing its high-quality renewable energy assets and successfully pursuing its growth.

Innergex is committed to producing energy from sustainable renewable sources exclusively and to providing energy storage capacity, guided by its philosophy that balances investing in people, caring for our planet and generating prosperity by sharing economic benefits with local communities and creating shareholder value. Innergex is committed to developing, acquiring, owning and operating renewable energy facilities exclusively that generate sustainable cash flows, provide an attractive risk- adjusted return on invested capital and enable the distribution of a sustainable dividend.

Innergex owns interests in 40 hydroelectric facilities drawing on 33 watersheds, 35 wind facilities, 8 solar facilities and 1 battery energy storage facility. The expertise and innovation developed by our skilled team in various energies and different locations can be leveraged and shared across the Corporation to maximize returns from our high-quality assets.

INFORMATION ON COVID-19

The Corporation continues to closely monitor the impacts of COVID-19 and is actively managing its response by placing a priority on the health and safety of our employees, suppliers, business partners and the broader community. Innergex is adhering to pandemic response plans and is following guidance from government health departments with respect to conducting operations safely. To the extent possible, and as permitted by local guidelines, the Corporation is facilitating vaccination of its employees against COVID-19.

Power production activities have continued in all segments, as they have been deemed essential services in every region where the Corporation operates. Innergex's renewable power production is sold mainly through power purchase agreements, which include sufficient protection to prevent material reduction in demand, to financially solid counterparties, and no credit issues are anticipated.

Although our business is considered essential services, different government decisions in each region may have an impact on the ability of Innergex's employees, customers, suppliers and other business partners to conduct business activities as usual, and this could last for an extended period. This could have a material effect on our operating results, financial condition, liquidity, capital expenditures and the trading value of our securities, in particular:

  • Impact of supply chain disruption on construction and development activities;
  • Impact on employees and cybersecurity;
  • Impact on liquidity;
  • Impact on capital expenditures and costs;
  • Impact on general electricity demand and on merchant prices.

The effects of COVID-19 on business may continue for an extended period, and the ultimate impact on the Corporation of the pandemic will depend on future developments that are uncertain and cannot be predicted including, and without limitations, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the duration of government mitigation measures, the effectiveness of the actions taken to contain and treat the disease, and the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume.

Since March 2020, Innergex has implemented numerous measures to protect employees, suppliers and business partners from COVID-19. In addition to standard operating procedures designed to maintain safe operations, the Corporation has implemented Communicable Disease Prevention Plans in each of its locations to provide guidance on health and safety measures to adopt regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The Corporation is engaged in ongoing communications with employees, apprising them of its response to the pandemic. Innergex believes that its employees and suppliers can access its facilities safely and in compliance with relevant directives.

PORTFOLIO OF ASSETS

The Corporation owns interests in three groups of projects at various stages: the Operating Facilities, the Development Projects and the Prospective Projects.

As at November 7, 2022, the Corporation owns and operates 84 facilities in commercial operation (the "Operating Facilities"). Commissioned between 1986 and July 2022, the facilities have a weighted average age of approximately 9.6 years.

They mostly sell the generated power under long-term power purchase agreements, power hedge contracts1 and short- and long-term industrial contracts (each, a "PPA") to rated public utilities or other creditworthy counterparties, or on the open market. The PPAs have a weighted average remaining life of 13.5 years (weighted average based on gross long-term average production).

For most Operating Facilities in Canada and in France, PPAs include a base price and, in some cases, a price adjustment depending on the month, day and hour of delivery. For most Operating Facilities in the United States, power generated is sold through PPAs or on the open market mainly supported by financial or physical power hedges. In Chile, Operating Facilities sell the power generated through PPAs to power distribution companies and industrial customers, or on the open market. Please refer to the "Business Environment - Inflation" section of this MD&A for a discussion regarding inflation.

The Corporation also holds interests in projects under development that are either at an advanced development stage or under construction (the "Development Projects").

1. A power hedge contract is deemed a PPA regardless of whether it is subjected to hedge accounting or accounted for as a financial derivative at fair value through earnings (loss).

The table below outlines Operating Facilities and Development Projects as at November 7, 2022.
