Portfolio Review

During the first quarter and through the date of this release, Enlight continued to expand its portfolio and advance projects through the various phases of development. As of the earning release date, Enlight’s total portfolio is comprised of 21.5 GW of generation capacity and 69 GWh energy storage (totaling 41.25 FGW), representing an increase of approximately 8% compared to the total portfolio at year-end 2025 (38 FGW). The generation component increased by approximately 4% and the storage component increased by approximately 13% compared to the previous quarter, reflecting Enlight’s strategy to lead in energy storage as a response to the significant shortage in the sector.

The mature component of the portfolio (operating projects, projects under construction, and projects in pre-construction) comprises 6.4 GW of generation capacity and 17.9 GWh of storage capacity, totaling 11.6 FGW, compared to 11.4 FGW at the end of the previous quarter. Approximately 56% of the mature component is in the U.S., 28% in Europe, and approximately 16% in MENA.

The advanced development and development components comprise of 15 GW of generation capacity and 51.1 GWh of storage capacity, totaling 29.6 FGW, an increase of 11% compared to year-end 2025, supporting Enlight’s growth potential beyond 2028. Approximately 71% of this component is located in the U.S., 16% in MENA, and 13% in Europe.

5FGW (Factored GW) is the company’s consolidated metric combining generation and storage capacity into a uniform figure based on the ratio of construction costs. Current weighted average construction cost ratio is 3.5 GWh of storage per 1 GW of generation: FGW = GW + GWh / 3.5.

The composition of Enlight’s portfolio appears in the following table:

Financial Results Analysis

Revenues and Income by Segment:

($ millions) For the three months ended
Segment March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 % change
MENA 65 43 50%  
Europe 61 51 19%  
U.S. 74 35 111%  
Total Revenues & Income 200 130 54%  


Revenues & Income

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s total revenues and income increased by 54% to approximately $200 million, compared to approximately $130 million in the same period last year. Revenues from the sale of electricity increased by 43% to $156 million, and income from tax benefits totaled approximately $43 million, compared to approximately $20 million in the same period last year.

8Including Enlight Renewable Energy, headquarter companies in Europe and the U.S. and Clenera, and excluding other subsidiaries and project-linked entities.

Key contributors to the increase include the Roadrunner and Quail Ranch projects in the U.S., which were connected toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and contributed approximately $16 million to electricity revenues. Higher output from existing projects contributed approximately $14 million to the increase, primarily due to stronger-than-average wind conditions in projects in Israel and Europe. Electricity trading activity in Israel doubled compared to the same period last year and contributed approximately $6 million to the increase. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel and the euro contributed approximately $12 million to electricity revenues. The increase in income from tax benefits is primarily attributable to the operation of newly commissioned projects in the U.S.

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $38 million, compared to $102 million in the same period last year, or $21 million excluding $81 million gain from the sale of a 44% stake in the Sunlight cluster and deconsolidation in the same period last year.

The increase of approximately $17 million is primarily attributable to the increase of $70 million in total revenues and income, offset by an increase of approximately $18 million in cost of sales (mainly due to increased electricity trading activity in Israel and the commissioning of new projects), an increase of $17 million in depreciation and amortization, and an increase of approximately $9 million in general and administrative and development expenses, partially offset by an increase of approximately $5 million in other income. In addition, finance expenses increased by $12 million (as a result of newly connected projects) and income taxes increased by $4 million (excluding the tax impact of the Sunlight transaction).

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 totaled approximately $154 million, compared to approximately $132 million in the same period last year. Excluding a $42 million contribution from the sale of a 44% stake in the Sunlight cluster in the first quarter of 2025 and a $12 million contribution from the sale of an additional 11% stake in the current quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $52 million, representing 58% growth.

The increase was driven by the $70 million increase in total revenues and income and a $5 million increase in other income, partially offset by a $17 million increase in cost of sales and a $6 million increase in general and administrative and development expenses (excluding share-based compensation expense).

Supplemental Financial and Other Information

We intend to announce material information to the public through the Enlight investor relations website at https://enlightenergy.com/info/investors, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, and public webcasts. We use these channels to communicate with our investors, customers, and the public about our company, our offerings, and other issues. As such, we encourage investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above, and to review the information disclosed through such channels. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we will announce information will be posted on the investor relations page of our website.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This release presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial metric, which is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). A reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial information to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure is provided in the accompanying tables found at the end of this release.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, finance expenses, taxes on income and share in losses of equity accounted investees and minus finance income and non-recurring portions of other income, net. For the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services procured by the Company are included in other income, net. Compensation for inadequate performance of goods and services reflects the profits the Company would have generated under regular operating conditions and is therefore included in Adjusted EBITDA. With respect to gains (losses) from asset disposals, as part of Enlight’s strategy to accelerate growth and reduce the need for equity financing, the Company sells parts of or the entirety of selected renewable project assets from time to time, and therefore includes realized gains or losses from these asset disposals in Adjusted EBITDA. In the case of partial assets disposals, Adjusted EBITDA includes only the actual consideration less the book value of the assets sold. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability and uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance and for planning and forecasting purposes.

Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under IFRS. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate the non-IFRS financial measures that we use differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of our non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measure, Net Income, and the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA provided below to Net Income and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

 Net financial debt to net CAP 

The ratio of standalone net financial debt to net CAP shall not exceed 70% for two consecutive financial periods so long as debentures F remain outstanding and shall not exceed 65% for two consecutive financial periods so long as debentures C, D, G and H remain outstanding. 

As of March 31, 2026, the net financial debt to net CAP ratio, as defined above, stands at 30%.

Appendix 4 – Change in accounting policy 

Until September 30, 2025, interest paid and interest received were presented within cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, entities are permitted to classify interest paid and interest received as operating, investing, or financing cash flows, provided that the selected classification is applied consistently from period to period.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, management elected to change the classification of interest paid, including payments relating to interest rate swap (IRS) instruments to cash flows used in financing activities, and interest received to cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that this change in presentation provides a more comprehensive view of the cost of financing the Company's operations and better reflects management’s view of the financing nature of these transactions.

Accordingly, comparative information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this change in accounting policy in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as presented below:

1) The legal ownership share for all U.S. projects is 90%, but Enlight invests 100% of the equity in the project and entitled to 100% of the project distributions until full repayment of Enlight's capital plus a preferred return

2) Value of tax benefits under the IRA: The PTC value is estimated based on the project’s expected annual production and a yearly CPI indexation of 2%, discounted by 8% to COD. In assessing the value of the ITC, a step-up adjustment was made to reflect the full value of the tax credits, thus lowering net construction costs and enhancing the valuation and return of the project. The actual value attributed to tax benefits in a tax equity transaction may differ from the value presented, subject to the structure of the transaction and prevailing market conditions.

3) The Energy Community (EC) Adder provides extra credits for renewable energy projects in areas impacted by fossil fuel reliance or economic transition. The Domestic Content (DC) Adder rewards projects using U.S.-manufactured components, promoting local job creation and supply chain growth

4) Revenue and EBITDA for the first year of U.S. projects as presented above do not include income from tax benefits

5) EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. This figure represents consolidated EBITDA for the project and excludes the share of project distributions to tax equity partners, as well as ITC and PTC proceeds. These components of the tax equity transaction may differ from project to project, are subject to market conditions and commercial terms agreed upon reaching financial close

6) The required equity during construction is estimated at 10% and is expected to decrease to 0% at COD

7) Gecama Solar’s debt is held under Gecama Wind. As of March 31, 2026, the solar project had $41m USD drawn

8) Rustic hills 1+2 - DC (10%) + EC (10%); Coggon - DC (10%); Gemstone - DC (10%);

9) Two high voltage projects with total capacity of 1,350MWh. Estimated revenue for the first 5 years is $14-15m million per year. From year 6, the projects will move to a deregulated market, with revenue expected to be $55 million per year
