Polaris Infrastructure Inc. Q3 2026 Earnings Recap

Polaris’s Q3 was broadly steady financially, while generation declined and a Dominican Republic impairment drove a larger reported net loss. The +0.7% share-price move was roughly flat, consistent with a mixed quarter rather than a clear positive or negative surprise.

Key Takeaways

• Consolidated generation was about 176 GWh, down 3% year over year; year-to-date generation fell 5% to 580 GWh. Dominican Republic curtailment and Nicaragua operating constraints were key drags.
• Dominican Republic curtailment averaged approximately 18% in Q3, improving from 35% in the first half, but remained elevated at 28% year to date versus historical levels of around 7%.
• Revenue was broadly flat at $19 million, while adjusted EBITDA declined 3% to $12.3 million. Net loss attributable to shareholders widened to $7.2 million from $0.3 million, primarily due to an $8.3 million non-cash impairment tied to the Dominican Republic asset.
• Puerto Rico wind generation rose approximately 52% year over year, helping offset weaker production elsewhere. Cash ended the quarter at approximately $99 million, compared with $93 million at the end of 2025.
• Management said battery equipment delivery is expected to begin in March–April 2027, targeting Q3 2027 commissioning. In Mexico, three awarded projects total 250 MW plus battery storage; PPAs are expected in December for Don Humberto and January for the other two.
