ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS TOTAL REVENUE OF \$166.5 MILLION, ELECTRICITY REVENUE UP 5.4%; REAFFIRMS 2018 FULL YEAR GUIDANCE

RENO, Nev. November 6, 2018, Ormat Technologies, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "Ormat" or "us") (NYSE: ORA) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

"Total revenues increased nearly 6% and electricity revenues increased more than 5%" commented Isaac Angel, Chief Executive Officer. "This steady growth was achieved despite the recent shutdown of our operations at Puna and highlights the diversification we have built into the Ormat operating model and the strength of our overall portfolio of projects around the world. Now that the lava flow near Puna has ceased, we are working to bring that plant back online, and are confident that Ormat is well positioned for continued growth."

"The Puna shutdown, coupled with a larger than average number of production pump replacements required in this quarter, impacted our overall margins," added Mr. Angel. "Nevertheless, Ormat delivered \$75.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Our solid, continued profitability despite significant unforeseen events like the K"lauea volcano eruption, further demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business model. We have made significant efforts to expedite the commencement of the 48MW McGinness Hills 3 power plant now planned for early December 2018. The contribution of McGinness Hills 3, as well as high generation and margins expected in the fourth quarter, should result in strong financial performance of the Electricity segment that will support our full year 2018 guidance."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total revenues of \$166.5 million in the quarter, up 5.9% compared to the third quarter of 2017;
  • Electricity segment revenues of \$116.9 million in the quarter, up 5.4% compared to the third quarter of 2017;
  • Electricity generation in the quarter increased 7.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2017, from 1.24 million MWh to 1.32 million MWh;
  • Electricity segment gross margin in the quarter was 31.7% compared to 41.9% in the year ago quarter. The decrease is mainly due to the impact of the shutdown in the Puna power plant in Hawaii, higher maintenance expenses mainly due to above average production pump failures in some of our power plants, a decrease in generation related to higher than average ambient temperature and grid operator curtailments;
  • Excluding the Puna shutdown, the electricity segment gross margin in the third quarter of 2018 was 35.3% and the nine-month margin, excluding the Puna impact, was 39.3%;
  • Product segment revenues in the quarter of \$48.4 million, up 7.9% compared to the third quarter of 2017;
  • Product segment backlog amounts to \$226.4 million as of November 1, 2018;
  • Total gross margin in the quarter was 29.3% compared to 37.7% in the third quarter of 2017;
  • Net income in the quarter was \$10.1 million compared to Net income of \$27.6 million in the third quarter of 2017;
  • Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders in the quarter was \$10.6 million, or \$0.21 per diluted share, compared to \$24.0 million, or \$0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017; excluding the termination fee of \$5 million or \$0.10 per diluted share related to the Galena 2 PPA, Adjusted Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders, was \$15.6 million, or \$0.31 per diluted share, compared to \$25.9 million, or \$0.51 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 20172 ;
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was \$75.6 million, excluding the \$5 million termination fee, compared to \$76.4 million in the third quarter of 2017; and
  • Declared a quarterly dividend of \$0.10 per share for the third quarter of 2018.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

● Ormat completed the closing of the first tranche under the previously announced finance agreement totaling up to \$124.7 million for the 35 MW Platanares geothermal power plant in Honduras, with the Overseas Private Investment Corporation ("OPIC"), United States government's development finance institution, as the sole lender. Following the closing, Ormat received a disbursement of \$114.7 million representing the full amount of Tranche I of the OPIC non-recourse project finance loan that carries a fixed interest rate of 7.02% per annum with a maturity of approximately 14 years. The closing of the second tranche of up to \$10 million is expected during the first half of 2019.

  • In Puna, Hawaii, before the lava recently stopped flowing, the lava covered the wellheads of three geothermal wells, the substation of the Puna complex and an adjacent warehouse that stored a drilling rig. The Company is currently assessing the damages to the Puna facilities and continues to coordinate with Hawaii Electric Light Company and local authorities to bring the power plant back to operation. The Company is in the process of building access roads to the site, removing the plugs from the production wells and rebuilding the electrical substation. Management is in ongoing discussions with its insurance companies, working to secure a business interruption claim for the income loss from the shutdown.
  • Ormat opted out of the Galena 2 PPA with NV Energy Inc., and reported a one-time \$5 million termination fee, recorded in selling and marketing expenses, in the third quarter of 2018. In March 2019, Ormat will start selling power from Galena 2 under its existing Southern California Public Power Authority portfolio PPA at \$75.5 per MWh replacing lower pricing under the Galena 2 PPA.

GUIDANCE

Mr. Angel added, "We are reaffirming our full-year 2018 guidance for the Electricity segment revenues to be between \$500 million and \$510 million. We expect Product segment revenues to be between \$190 million and \$200 million and revenues from energy storage and demand response activity to be between \$8 million and \$12 million. As such, our guidance for total revenues is between \$698 million and \$722 million. Our 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance is expected to be between \$370 million and \$380 million for the full year, assuming successful resolution of our insurance claim for our losses relating to Puna situation by the end of 2018.

In the event we do not reach a resolution of our insurance claim by the end of 2018, the 2018 Adjusted EBITDA might be negatively impacted by approximately \$20 million.

We expect annual Adjusted EBITDA attributable to minority interest to be approximately \$30 million. The minority interest includes our partners share in the insurance claim for the Puna Plant."

The Company provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. However, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating forward looking amounts for impairments and disposition and acquisition of business interests, income taxes including the tax impact of the repatriation of proceeds from sales in foreign jurisdictions and tax benefit or expense related to effects of the recently-enacted tax law reform in the United States and other non-cash expenses and adjusting items which are excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

THIRD QUARTER 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, total revenues were \$166.5 million, up 5.9% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Electricity segment revenues increased 5.4% to \$116.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, up from \$110.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was mainly attributable to the Platanares, Tungsten Mountain and Olkaria III expansion projects, which came online in the last twelve months, as well as the U.S. Geothermal acquisition, offset by the shutdown of the Puna plant as well as lower generation in other power plants due to maintenance issues and enhancements, high ambient temperature and grid operator curtailments.

Product segment revenues increased 7.9% to \$48.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, up from \$44.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Other segment revenues were \$1.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared to \$1.4 million in the third quarter of 2017.

During the third quarter, Ormat recorded under selling and marketing expenses a non-recurring \$5 million charge for a termination fee paid to NV Energy related to the termination of the Galena 2 PPA. Ormat intends to sell power from Galena 2 under its SCAPPA Portfolio PPA at \$75.5 per MWh starting March 2019.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were \$13.6 million, or 8.2% of total revenues, compared to \$10.9 million, or 6.9% of total revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation costs associated with grants made to the CEO, senior management and employees as well as higher legal and auditing costs associated with the remediation plan for the previously reported material weakness.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was \$10.1 million compared to Net income of \$27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Ormat reported Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders Inclusive of the \$5 million non-recurring termination fee, of \$10.6 million, or \$0.21 per diluted share, compared to \$24.0 million, or \$0.47 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted net income attributable to the Company's stockholders of \$15.6 million, or \$0.31 per diluted share. Adjusted Net income attributable to the Company's stockholders and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2017 of \$25.9 million or, \$0.51 per diluted share excludes \$1.9 million or \$0.04 per diluted share, attributable to a one-time make whole premium paid in connection with the prepayment of OFC senior secured notes and DEG loan.

Page 3/9

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was \$75.6 million, compared to \$76.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is mainly related to the shutdown in Puna offset by the contribution of Sarulla to the EBITDA. The reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below in this release.

DIVIDEND

On November 6, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared, approved and authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of \$0.10 per share pursuant to the Company's dividend policy. The dividend will be paid on December 4, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2018.

ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA For the Three and Nine Months Periods Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

We calculate EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for (i) termination fees, (ii) impairment of long-lived assets, (iii) write-off of unsuccessful exploration activities, (iv) any mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, (v) merger and acquisition transaction costs, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) gain from extinguishment of liability, and (viii) gain on sale of subsidiary and property, plant and equipment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of a Company's ability to service and/or incur debt. However, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
