Highlights

Financial results

Production and net earnings higher in Q4-2025

Quarterly production up 18% (17% on a Combined1 basis)2 from Q4-2024, owing mainly to favourable wind conditions and the impact of newly commissioned sites, and 5% (7%) below anticipated production1. Production for fiscal 2025 is up 8% (8%) from 2024 and 8% (10%) below anticipated production;

Operating income of $68 million ($85 million) in Q4-2025, down $10 million (up $32 million)3 from Q4-2024; operating income of $166 million ($248 million) for fiscal 2025, down $60 million ($19 million) from 2024;

EBITDA(A)1 of $178 million ($203 million) in Q4-2025, up $9 million ($12 million) from Q4-2024 due mainly to higher production and favourable exchange rates, partially offset by lower prices under short-term power purchase agreements in France; EBITDA(A) of $552 million ($655 million) for fiscal 2025, down $29 million ($15 million) from 2024;

___________________________________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.

"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," said Patrick Decostre, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boralex.

"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," Mr. Decostre added.

Boralex received various awards in 2025 that reflect its ongoing commitment to social responsibility and the energy transition. The Corporation's ranking at the top of the best 50 corporate citizens in Canada by Corporate Knights, the recognition bestowed on Boralex France for its diversity initiatives and the award granted to the Hagersville BESS by the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) all illustrate the Corporation's ability to merge performance, innovation and a lasting positive impact.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Boralex produced 1,800 GWh (2,454 GWh) of electricity, an increase of 18% (17%) compared to 1,520 GWh (2,099 GWh) produced in the same quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to better wind conditions and the contribution of newly commissioned sites in Europe and Canada. Boralex ended the quarter with total production that was 5% (7%) below anticipated production.

Revenues from energy sales and feed-in premiums for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $241 million ($279 million), up 6% (8%) from the fourth quarter of 2024. The higher production was partially offset by the negative impact of a price decrease in France, where Boralex had benefited from high contract prices last year. Operating income was $68 million ($85 million), compared to $78 million ($53 million) in the same quarter of 2024. EBITDA(A) amounted to $178 million ($203 million), up 6% (7%) from the fourth quarter of 2024, due to higher production and favourable exchange rates. The Corporation posted a net earnings of $26 million ($26 million) for the quarter, compared to the net loss of $2 million ($2 million) in the corresponding quarter of 2024, an increase of $28 million ($28 million).
