1 EBITDA(A) is a total of segment measures. Anticipated production is an additional financial measure. Combined, discretionary cash flows and available cash resources and authorized financing are non-GAAP financial measures and do not have a standardized definition under IFRS, and may therefore not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. For more details, see the Non-IFRS financial measures and other financial measures section of this press release.

The year 2025 was marked by significant progress for Boralex. The unveiling of our 2030 Strategic Plan was a major milestone, supported by the commissioning of large-scale projects in our key markets. The commissioning of Limekiln, our first wind farm in the United Kingdom, reflects our expansion in that high-potential market, and the acceleration of our battery energy storage system activities in Ontario exemplifies the ongoing diversification of our portfolio, both geographically and technologically. Meanwhile, we also strengthened our financial flexibility with more than $1 billion in financing with major partners. These achievements confirm the soundness of our growth trajectory and our ability to create long-term value across all our markets.

Boralex’s financial results improved in the last quarter of 2025, driven by good wind conditions and the impact of new commissioning. The overall results for the year were down, however, mainly due to the decline in short-term electricity contract prices in France. Given that context, we strengthened our business strategy, as seen by the signature of new power purchase agreements in our key markets and our success in European calls for tender. In the last quarter, we participated in various tender calls in Ontario, New York State and the United Kingdom while paying close attention to the coming wind power call for tender announced by Hydro-Québec for 2026. Driven by sustained demand for renewable energy, Boralex continues to expand in a rigorous yet ambitious manner, backed by a renewed team that is fully engaged and committed to supporting growth.
