Pattern Energy Reports First Quarter Results

- Declares Increased Dividend of $0.322 per Class A common share for 2014 Second Quarter -

San Francisco, CA, May 2, 2014– Pattern Energy Group Inc. (NASDAQ:PEGI) (TSX:PEG) (Pattern Energy), a premium independent power company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2014.

Highlights

(Comparisons made between fiscal Q1 2014 and fiscal Q1 2013 results, unless otherwise noted)

• Cash available for distribution of $17.8 million, up 23%

• Adjusted EBITDA of $37.2 million, up 8%

• Electricity sales of 653 GWh, up 8%

• Revenue of $49.5 million, up 13%

• Increased owned megawatts to 1,434 MW with the agreement to acquire 179 MW owned interest in the 218 MW Panhandle 1 project, subsequent to the end of the quarter

• Commenced commercial operations on the 270 MW South Kent Wind project in March 2014

• Increased growth target to 10-12% average annual growth in cash available for distribution per Class A share over the next three years

• Declared a second quarter dividend of $0.322 per Class A common share, or $1.288 on an annualized basis, representing a 3% increase

“This was a very productive quarter in which we completed construction and started generating revenues earlier than scheduled at our South Kent project, one of the largest wind projects in Canada,” said Mike Garland, President and CEO of Pattern Energy. “In addition to bringing a new operational project into the portfolio, we agreed to acquire the Panhandle 1 project from Pattern Development which will add 14% to our owned capacity. Our key financial metric, cash available for distribution, continues to grow, leading us to increase our current distribution, as well as our cash per share growth target for the next three years.”

Pattern Energy successfully closed its initial public offering (IPO) on October 2, 2013. Results for periods prior to the IPO are attributable to its predecessor entities.

Financial Results

Pattern Energy sold 652,521 MWh of electricity in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 603,633 MWh sold in the same period in 2013. The increase in electricity sold was primarily due to higher winds and the commencement of commercial operations on the final 42 megawatts at Ocotillo in July 2013.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2014 was $21.9 million compared to a net loss of $18.8 million for the same period last year. The change in net loss was primarily due to higher unrealized losses

on the Company’s undesignated interest rate swaps and energy hedge, as well as higher operating expenses associated with being a public company which, together, more than offset its increase in electricity sales.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $37.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $34.4 million in the same period last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to higher period over period electricity sales. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss determined in accordance with GAAP is shown below.

Cash Available For Distribution

Cash available for distribution (“CAFD”) in the first quarter of 2014 was $17.8 million compared to $14.5 million in the same period last year. The increase compared to Q1 2013 was primarily the result of higher electricity production in Q1 2014 and a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense primarily related to its 2013 repayment of certain project loans. Offsetting these increases were a $3.0 million increase in project expenses. A reconciliation of cash available for distribution to net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP is shown below.

Quarterly Dividend Increase

Pattern Energy declared an increase in its second quarter 2014 dividend, payable on July 30, 2014, to holders of record on June 30, 2014, in the amount of $0.322 per Class A share, which represents $1.288 on an annualized basis. This is an increase from the first quarter 2014 dividend of $0.3125.

Construction Pipeline

The table below outlines Pattern Energy’s projects currently in construction, the capacity owned or under contract to be acquired and each project’s anticipated commencement date for commercial operations.

Asset	Location	Owned MW	Commercial Operations
El Arrayán	Chile	36	Q2 2014
Panhandle 1	Texas	179	Q2 2014
Panhandle 2	Texas	147	Q4 2014
Grand	Ontario	67	Q4 2014
Total		429

On May 2, 2014, the Company announced an agreement to purchase a 179 MW owned interest in the 218 MW Panhandle 1 wind project from Pattern Energy Group LP (“Pattern Development”), for total cash consideration of US$125 million, subject to certain adjustments, with the balance of the project to be acquired from Pattern Development by certain institutional tax equity investors.

Panhandle 1 is under construction in Carson County, Texas, and consists of 118 General Electric 1.85 MW wind turbines. The acquisition is expected to close following the commencement of commercial operations in June 2014.

Approximately 77% of the expected output is contracted under a 13-year energy price hedge, with an A-/Baa2 credit-rated affiliate of Citibank, with the balance sold at ERCOT’s spot market prices.

Growth Target

Taking into consideration the acquisition of the Grand Project in December, the signed agreements to acquire the Panhandle 1 and Panhandle 2 projects later this year, Pattern Development’s increase in the size of the combined Panhandle 1 and 2 projects and of the Meikle project, as well as continued progress in the development of the remaining Initial ROFO Projects, Pattern Energy increased its targeted average annual growth target in its cash available for distribution per Class A share to 10-12%.

Acquisition Pipeline

Pattern Energy has the Right of First Offer (ROFO) on an identified pipeline of acquisition opportunities from Pattern Development. In addition, Pattern Energy may seek to acquire additional assets from third parties. The remaining pipeline of initially identified ROFO projects includes the following wind power assets:
