Key Operating Metrics

As of September 30, 2024, our total portfolio consisted of ~15.6 GWs and commissioned capacity was ~10.1 GWs, of which ~4.8 GWs were wind, ~5.3 GWs were solar and ~0.1 GWs were hydro. Our commissioned capacity increased 21.8% year-over-year, net of the 400 MWs of assets sold in FY24 as part of our capital recycling strategy.

In Q2 FY25, we commissioned 557 MWs, of which 24 MWs was wind and 533 MWs was solar capacity. In H1 FY25, we commissioned 609 MWs, of which 41 MWs was wind and 568 MWs was solar capacity. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company commissioned 250 MWs of solar capacity, taking the total commissioned capacity to ~10.4 GWs.

Electricity Sold

Total electricity sold in Q2 FY25 was 6,622 million kWh, an increase of 9.4% over Q2 FY24. Electricity sold in Q2 FY25 from wind assets was 4,039 million kWh, an increase of 6.3% over Q2 FY24. Electricity sold in Q2 FY25 from solar assets was 2,370 million kWh, an increase of 14.5% over Q2 FY24. Electricity sold in Q2 FY25 from hydro assets was 213 million kWh, an increase of 16.2% over Q2 FY24.

Total electricity sold in H1 FY25 was 12,437 million kWh, an increase of 11.4% over H1 FY24. Electricity sold in H1 FY25 from wind assets was 6,994 million kWh, an increase of 8.7% over H1 FY24. Electricity sold in H1 FY25 from solar assets was 5,134 million kWh, an increase of 15.5% over H1 FY24. Electricity sold in H1 FY25 from hydro assets was 309 million kWh, an increase of 7.9% over H1 FY25.

Plant Load Factor

Our weighted average Plant Load Factor ("PLF") for Q2 FY25 for wind assets was 38.3%, compared to 41.3% for Q2 FY24. The PLF for Q2 FY25 for solar assets was 21.8% compared to 23.1% for Q2 FY24.

Our weighted average PLF for H1 FY25 for wind assets was 33.4%, compared to 35.7% for H1 FY24. The PLF for H1 FY25 for solar assets was 24.4% compared to 25.3% for H1 FY24.

Total Income

Total Income for Q2 FY25 was INR 29,887 million (US$ 357 million), an increase of 4.4% over Q2 FY24. Total income benefited from higher revenue owing to the increase in operational capacity but was offset by lower resource availability, lower merchant tariffs, and revenue loss from 400 MWs of assets sold in FY24 as part of our capital recycling strategy. Q2 FY25 Total Income includes finance income and fair value change in share warrants of INR 1,506 million (US$ 18 million) as compared to INR 1,236 million (US$ 15 million) in Q2 FY24.

Total Income for H1 FY25 was INR 54,713 million (US$ 653 million), an increase of 2.7% over H1 FY24. Total income benefitted from higher revenue owing to the increase in operational capacity but was offset by lower resource availability, lower late payment surcharge from customers, lower merchant tariffs, revenue loss from 400 MWs of assets sold in FY24 as part of our capital recycling strategy and lower finance income and fair value change in derivatives. H1 FY25 Total Income includes finance income and fair value change in share warrants of INR 2,583 million (US$ 31 million) as compared to INR 2,851 million (US$ 34 million) in H1 FY24.

Employee Benefits Expense

Employee benefits expense for Q2 FY25 was INR 1,156 million (US$ 14 million), similar to Q2 FY24.

Employee benefits expense for H1 FY25 was INR 2,593 million (US$ 31 million), an increase of 12.9% over H1 FY24, driven by higher employee share-based payments of INR 808 million (US$ 10 million) in H1 FY25 compared to INR 694 million (US$ 8 million) in H1 FY24.

Other Expenses

Other Expenses for Q2 FY25 were INR 2,948 million (US$ 35 million), a decrease of 29.2% over Q2 FY24. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash provisioning for contractual obligations and lower overheads.

Other Expenses for H1 FY25 were INR 6,507 million (US$ 78 million), a decrease of 9.7% over H1 FY24. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash provisioning for contractual obligations and lower overheads.

Finance Costs and Fair Value Change in Derivative Instruments

Finance costs and fair value change in derivative instruments for Q2 FY25 was INR 12,597 million (US$ 150 million), a decrease of 2.7% over Q2 FY24. The decrease in finance costs was primarily due to lower mark-to-market impact, driven by our effective hedging strategy on foreign currency borrowings and refinancing driven savings, partially offset by an increase in finance cost in line with increase in operational assets from the previous year.

Finance costs and fair value change in derivative instruments for H1 FY25 was INR 24,812 million (US$ 296 million), an increase of 3.3% over H1 FY24. The increase in finance costs was primarily due to an increase in finance cost in line with increase in operational assets from the previous year, partially offset by lower mark-to-market impact, driven by our effective hedging strategy on foreign currency borrowings and refinancing driven savings.

Net Profit/ Loss

The net profit for Q2 FY25 was INR 4,939 million (US$ 59 million) compared to INR 3,771 million (US$ 45 million) for Q2 FY24. The increase was primarily due to lower finance cost, and lower operational expenses, partially offset by lower resource availability and revenue loss from 400 MWs of assets sold in FY24 as part of our capital recycling strategy.

The net profit for H1 FY25 was INR 5,333 million (US$ 64 million) compared to INR 6,754 million (US$ 81 million) for H1 FY24. The decrease was primarily due to lower resource availability, lower late payment surcharge from customers, lower merchant tariffs, revenue loss from 400 MWs of assets sold in FY24 as part of our capital recycling strategy and lower finance income, partially offset by a decrease in operational expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 FY25 was INR 24,209 million (US$ 289 million) compared to INR 21,298 million (US$ 254 million) for Q2 FY24, an increase of 13.7% year on year.

Adjusted EBITDA for H1 FY25 was INR 43,188 million (US$ 516 million) compared to INR 39,897 million (US$ 476 million) for H1 FY24, an increase of 8.2% year on year.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. For more information, see "Use of Non-IFRS Measures" elsewhere in this release. IFRS refers to International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to IFRS financial measures, and operating results are included at the end of this release.

FY25 Guidance

The Company reiterates its FY25 guidance and continues to expect construction of between 1,900 to 2,400 MWs by the end of Fiscal Year 2025. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow to Equity guidance for FY25 are subject to weather being similar to FY24. The Company anticipates continued net gains on sales of assets, which is part of ReNew's capital recycling strategy, and has included INR 1-2 billion of gains from sale of assets in the guidance below:

Cash Flow to equity (CFe)

FY25

INR 76 - INR 82 billion

INR 12 - INR 14 billion

The Company also reiterates its long-term and run rate guidance provided in Q4 FY24 results.

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operating activities for Q2 FY25 was INR 20,158 million (US$ 241 million), compared to INR 18,926 million (US$ 226 million) for Q2 FY24. The increase was driven by higher operating profits in Q2 FY25. Cash generated from operating activities for H1 FY25 was INR 30,071 million (US$ 359 million), compared to INR 32,399 million (US$ 387 million) for H1 FY24. The decrease was driven by higher working capital deployment, partially offset by higher income tax refunds in H1 FY25.

Cash used in investing activities for Q2 FY25 was INR 19,985 million (US$ 239 million), compared to INR 47,516 million (US$ 567 million) for Q2 FY24. Cash was primarily used for investment in renewable energy projects. Cash used in investing activities for H1 FY25 was INR 60,440 million (US$ 722 million), compared to INR 92,872 million (US$ 1,109 million) for H1 FY24. Cash was primarily used for investment in renewable energy projects.

Cash generated from financing activities for Q2 FY25 was INR 1,254 million (US$ 15 million), compared to INR 32,905 million (US$ 393 million) in Q2 FY24. The decrease was primarily due to lower proceeds (net of repayments) from project financing and higher interest paid during Q2 FY25. Cash generated from financing activities for H1 FY25 was INR 21,333 million (US$ 255 million), compared to INR 46,704 million (US$ 558 million) in H1 FY24.

Net debt as of September 30, 2024, also includes investment from JV partners for renewable energy projects in the form of convertible debentures amounting to INR 22,023 (US$ 263 million) and net debt for solar module manufacturing amounting to INR 12,491 million (US$ 149 million).

Receivables

Total receivables as of September 30, 2024, were INR 27,602 million (US$ 330 million), of which INR 5,434 million (US$ 65 million) was unbilled and others. The Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") were 94 days as on September 30, 2024, as compared to 112 days as of September 30, 2023, an improvement of 18 days year-on-year.

Cash Flow to Equity (CFe)

CFe for Q2 FY25 was INR 5,980 million (US$ 71 million), compared to INR 9,780 million (US$ 117 million) for Q2 FY24 due to due to higher repayment of project, corporate and manufacturing related borrowings. Cash Flow to Equity ("CFe") for H1 FY25 was INR 15,683 million (US$ 187 million), compared to INR 19,364 million (US$ 231 million) for H1 FY24 due to higher repayment of project, corporate and manufacturing related borrowings.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with IFRS and should not be viewed as an alternative to IFRS measures of performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Profit/(loss) for the period plus (a) current and deferred tax, (b) finance costs and FV changes on derivative instruments, (c) change in fair value of warrants (if recorded as expense) (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) listing expenses, (f) share based payment and other expense related to listing, less (g) share in profit/(loss) of jointly controlled entities (h) finance income and FV change in derivative instruments, (i) change in fair value of warrants (if recorded as income). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing our ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability on a like to like basis between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of our operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income or other measures of performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.

Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on our capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expenses can vary considerably among companies.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations include:

it does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments or foreign exchange gain/loss;
it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;
it does not reflect significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on outstanding debt;
it does not reflect payments made or future requirements for income taxes; and
although depreciation, amortization and impairment are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or paid in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or payments.

Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. For more information, please see the Reconciliations of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA towards the end of this earnings release.

Cash Flow to Equity (CFe)

CFe is a Non-IFRS financial measure. We present CFe as a supplemental measure of our performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with IFRS and should not be viewed as an alternative to IFRS measures of performance. The presentation of CFe should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We define CFe as Adjusted EBITDA add non-cash expense and finance income and fair value change in derivative, less interest expense paid, tax paid/(refund) and normalized loan repayments. Normalized loan repayments are repayment of scheduled payments as per the loan agreement. Ad Hoc payments and refinancing (including planned arrangements/ borrowings in previous periods) are not included in normalized loan repayments. The definition also excludes changes in net working capital and investing activities.

We believe IFRS metrics, such as net income (loss) and cash from operating activities, do not provide the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of our operating business as a result of the long-term capital-intensive nature of our businesses, non-cash depreciation and amortization, cash used for debt servicing as well as investments and costs related to the growth of our business.

Our business owns high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Cash Flows to Equity over time. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use CFe both to assess ReNew performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return, assess the value of the business and the platform. This has been a widely used metric by analysts to value our business, and hence we believe this will better help potential investors in analyzing the cash generation from our operating assets.

We have disclosed CFe for our operational assets on a consolidated basis, which is not our cash from operations on a consolidated basis. We believe CFe supplements IFRS results to provide a more complete understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would not otherwise be achieved using IFRS results alone. CFe should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under IFRS.
