Rand Capital Announces $0.29 per Share Cash Dividend for First Quarter 2025

Reflects 15% increase in aggregate dividend amount distributed following recent stock issuance

BUFFALO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rand Capital Corporation (Nasdaq: RAND) (“Rand” or the “Company”), a business development company providing alternative financing for lower middle market companies, announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share. The cash dividend will be distributed on or about March 28, 2025, to shareholders of record as of March 14, 2025. Rand has approximately 3.0 million shares outstanding.

Daniel P. Penberthy, President and CEO, commented, “In 2024, we reached several significant milestones that strengthened our ability to return capital to shareholders. Following our fourth quarter stock and cash dividend, we issued approximately 389,000 additional shares to investors. By maintaining our quarterly cash dividend at $0.29 per share, we are effectively delivering a 15% increase in total dividends distributed, demonstrating both the resilience of our business and our commitment to shareholder value. Looking ahead, we remain focused on sustainable dividend growth and long-term value creation.”

Additional Information Regarding Dividend Distributions

The amount and timing of dividend distributions, including future dividend distributions, are subject to the discretion of Rand’s Board of Directors. When declaring distributions, Rand’s Board of Directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year.

The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.

^The fund has adopted a managed distribution plan. Under a managed distribution plan, to the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level. You should not draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance from the amount of the fund’s distributions or from the terms of the fund’s managed distribution plan. The Board of the fund may amend the terms of the plan or terminate the plan at any time without prior notice to the fund’s shareholders. The amendment or termination of a plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the fund’s common shares. The plan will be subject to periodic review by the Board. With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the fund’s investment experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. Any such returns of capital will decrease the fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make the level of distributions called for under its plan, the fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time. For estimated source information for distributions paid in prior periods, please see MFS.com and click on the following links: Products & Strategies, Closed-End Funds, Dividend Source Information.

*Distribution from “Other Sources” may contain sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short term capital gains, long term capital gains, or return of capital, which can not be determined until the close of the fund’s fiscal year end. Distributions that are treated for federal income tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder’s adjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale of shares. Please see the fund’s most recent dividend source information available from payable date at MFS.com for the breakdown of the distribution.

Investors who want to make changes to their accounts should contact their financial advisor, brokerage firm, or other nominee with whom the shares are registered. If shares are registered with the funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, the transfer agent may be contacted directly at 800-637-2304, or www.computershare.com.

CORVALLIS, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“As the first and only small modular reactor technology to receive NRC design approval and certification, and with long lead materials for 12 modules already in production, NuScale is the first mover in commercial SMR development,” said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power. “Alongside our developer partner ENTRA1 Energy, we are in advanced commercial dialogue with major technology and industrial companies, utilities, and national and local governments. Each is urgently seeking clean, emissions-free energy and process heat that they can rely on every hour of every day. Whether for AI and the data economy or industrial applications, prospective customers are adamant that no resource is more important in the years ahead than 24/7 clean energy at scale.”

Financial Update

Fourth quarter and full year 2024:

  • NuScale ended the fourth quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $446.7 million. At the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $161.7 million, and no debt.

  • In December 2024, NuScale announced that approximately 97% of the Company’s outstanding Warrants were exercised in exchange for $227.7 million in cash proceeds. This included $205.3 million of cash proceeds in the fourth quarter.

  • NuScale reported revenue of $34.2 million and a net loss of $180.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, compared to revenue of $4.6 million and a net loss of $56.4 million, respectively, for the same period in 2023. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, revenue was $37.0 million and net loss was $348.4 million, compared to revenue of $22.8 million and a net loss of $180.1 million for the same period in 2023.

  • Net loss in the quarter included a non-cash expense of $170.0 million related to the change in the fair value of warrants. During the same period in the prior year, the Company reported non-cash income of $6.5 million associated with our warrants. For full year 2024, net loss included a non-cash expense of $223.0 million related to the change in the fair value of warrants, while in full year 2023, the Company reported non-cash income of $23.6 million associated with the change in the fair value of our warrants.

  • Operating expenses were $43.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to $71.8 million in the year-earlier period. The year-over-year reduction in operating expenses of $108.6 million reflects NuScale’s transition from an R&D focused organization to a company pursuing commercialization activities while reducing costs and operating more efficiently.

New Fortress Energy Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

New Fortress Energy Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
New Fortress Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: NFE) (“NFE” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Summary Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $313 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $950 million in the full year 2024

  • Net loss of $224 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $242 million in the full year 2024, driven primarily by costs incurred with refinancing our debt including a Q4 loss on extinguishment of debt of $260 million.

  • Adjusted Net Income(3) of $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $101 million for the full year 2024

  • Adjusted EPS(2) of $0.13 on a fully diluted basis in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $0.46 in the full year 2024

  • EPS of $(1.11) on a fully diluted basis in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $(1.25) in the full year 2024

  • Total cash balance of $966 million, of which $493 million is unrestricted as of December 31, 2024

This has been a strong fourth quarter for the Company as we achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $313 million, surpassing our guidance of $200-$220 million. Earnings for the year also held strong as we achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $950 million, surpassing our guidance of $835-$855 million. Our results have benefited from the recognition of income from optimizing our current LNG portfolio.

Our Fast LNG asset has been completed(5) and was placed into service for accounting purposes in December 2024. The liquefier has been operating smoothly and has been routinely producing above nameplate capacity since the start of the year. This significant milestone concludes the development of a cornerstone asset that secures NFE’s LNG supply and enhances the energy security of our downstream customers across the globe. While the asset is in service from an accounting perspective, we will continue to commission the asset, and such costs that enhance the asset will be capitalized on our balance sheet.

We also recently announced the extension of our 80 TBtu island-wide gas supply contract in Puerto Rico, and an adjustment to our incentive structure on the Operation and Maintenance agreement between NFE subsidiary Genera & PREPA in exchange for a $110 million payment. These agreements provide significant opportunity to generate substantial cost savings and significantly reduce emissions by converting existing plants from diesel to LNG, and also reinforce NFE’s longstanding commitment to delivering reliable and clean power to Puerto Ricans at the lowest cost possible.

In Brazil, we have continued to make great progress on our power plant developments, with our 624 MW CELBA plant in particular nearly 88% complete. We also believe that NFE should be in prime position to take advantage of the recently announced Brazil power auctions expected to occur in June this year, which will provide a significant opportunity for both brownfield & greenfield gas to power plants that can either be developed by NFE or supplied via our LNG terminals.

In Q4 2024, NFE also completed the $2.7 billion issuance of new senior secured notes due 2029, that was used to refinance our 2025 bonds and more than two-thirds of our outstanding 2026 and 2029 bonds, which resulted in approximately ~$300 million in additional liquidity for the Company. This transaction, combined with the $400 million common equity offering completed in October 2024, marked an important step forward in strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and positions the Company for future sustained growth.

In February 2025, we issued additional notes in Brazil raising $350 million that will be utilized to repay existing debt in Brazil and to add additional liquidity to our balance sheet. In March 2025, we upsized our Term Loan B by an additional $425 million.

Please refer to our Q4 2024 Investor Presentation (the “Presentation”) for further information about the following terms:

1) “Adjusted EBITDA,” see definition and reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure in the exhibits to this press release.

2) “Adjusted EPS” is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to any measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income (Note 3 below) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis for the period indicated as reported in our financial statements. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, offers a useful supplemental view of the overall evaluation of the Company in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management’s evaluation of the Company’s overall performance. Adjusted EPS does not have a standardized meaning, and different companies may use different definitions. Therefore, this term may not be necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

3) “Adjusted Net Income” means Net Income attributable to common stockholders as presented in the relevant Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for the relevant financial period as adjusted by losses on extinguishment of debt, non-cash impairment charges, and gains or losses on disposal of our assets.

4) “Total Segment Operating Margin” is the total of our Terminals and Infrastructure Segment Operating Margin and Ships Segment Operating Margin, each as reported in our financial statements. Our segment measure also excludes unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on derivative instruments, certain contract acquisition costs and deferred earnings from contracted sales for which a prepayment has been received.

5) “Completed”, “Placed into service” or similar statuses (either capitalized or lower case) with respect to a particular project means we expect gas to be made available in the near future, gas has been made available to the relevant project, or that the relevant project is in full commercial operations. Where gas is going to be made available or has been made available but full commercial operations have not yet begun, full commercial operations will occur later than, and may occur substantially later than, our reported Operational, Completion or Deployment date, and we may not generate any revenue until full commercial operations have begun. We cannot assure you if or when such projects will reach full commercial operation. Our ability to export liquefied natural gas depends on our ability to obtain export and other permits from governmental and regulatory agencies. No assurance can be given that we will receive required permits, approvals and authorizations from governmental and regulatory agencies in connection with the exportation of liquefied natural gas on a timely basis or at all or that, once received, we will be able to maintain in full force and effect, renew or replace such permits, approvals and authorizations.

Additional Information

For additional information that management believes to be useful for investors, please refer to the presentation posted on the Investors section of New Fortress Energy’s website, www.newfortressenergy.com, and the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is available on the Company’s website. Nothing on our website is included or incorporated by reference herein.

Management will host a conference call on Monday, March 3, 2025 at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time. The conference call may be accessed by dialing (888) 394-8218 (toll free from within the U.S.) or +1-323-994-2093 (from outside of the U.S.) fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled start of the call; please reference “NFE Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Call” or conference code 7951152.

Adjusted EBITDA

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024

(Unaudited, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income from operations, net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP measure, as we have defined it, offers a useful supplemental view of the overall operation of our business in evaluating the effectiveness of our ongoing operating performance in a manner that is consistent with metrics used for management’s evaluation of our overall performance and to compensate employees. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization which vary substantially from company to company depending on capital structure, the method by which assets were acquired and depreciation policies. Further, we exclude certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigations sales, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment expense, loss on asset sales, interest expense, net, other (income) expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments and contingent consideration, tax expense, and adjusting for certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance, including non-cash share-based compensation and severance expense, non-capitalizable development expenses, cost to pursue new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure, certain non-capitalizable contract acquisition costs plus our pro rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from certain unconsolidated entities, less the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of certain unconsolidated entities.

Adjusted EBITDA is mathematically equivalent to our Total Segment Operating Margin, as reported in the segment disclosures within our financial statements, minus Core SG&A, including our pro rata share of such expenses of certain unconsolidated entities, minus deferred earnings for which a prepayment was received. Core SG&A is defined as total SG&A adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation and severance expense, non-capitalizable development expenses, cost of exploring new business opportunities and expenses associated with changes to our corporate structure. Core SG&A excludes certain items from our SG&A not otherwise indicative of ongoing operating performance.

The principal limitation of this non-GAAP measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to our GAAP net income, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning, and different companies may use different Adjusted EBITDA definitions. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Moreover, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be the same as those we use for purposes of establishing covenant compliance under our financing agreements or for other purposes. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to New Fortress Energy, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024:

Segment Operating Margin

(Unaudited, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Performance of our two segments, Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships, is evaluated based on Segment Operating Margin. Segment Operating Margin reconciles to Consolidated Segment Operating Margin as reflected below, which is a non-GAAP measure. We define Consolidated Segment Operating Margin as GAAP net income, adjusted for selling, general and administrative expense, transaction and integration costs, contract termination charges and loss on mitigation sales, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment expense, loss on asset sales, interest expense, other (income) expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, net, (income) loss from equity method investments and tax (benefit) provision. Consolidated Segment Operating Margin is mathematically equivalent to Revenue minus Cost of sales minus Operations and maintenance minus Vessel operating expenses, each as reported in our financial statements.
