Cash from Operating Activities	$	104	$	103	$	545	$	477
Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD)¹	$	30	$	22	$	295	$	254

For the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company reported a Net Loss of $73 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $229 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $104 million, and CAFD of $30 million. Net Loss increased versus the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher depreciation expense from growth investments and non-cash impairment losses primarily related to various wind projects. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA results were higher than 2019 primarily due to the acquisition of Carlsbad, stronger wind resource primarily at Alta, and higher performance across the solar fleet. In the fourth quarter, CAFD results were higher than 2019 primarily due to improved year over year Adjusted EBITDA and lower maintenance capital expenditures versus last year.

For the full year of 2020, the Company reported a Net Loss of $62 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $1,082 million, Cash from Operating Activities of $545 million, and CAFD of $295 million. Adjusted EBITDA results were higher than 2019 primarily due to the contribution of growth investments and higher renewable energy production versus last year. For the full year, CAFD results were higher than 2019 primarily due to the Adjusted EBITDA results.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented measures and developed corporate and regional response plans to protect its employees and to maintain safe and reliable operations at its facilities. The Company does not currently anticipate any material impact to its financial conditions resulting from the pandemic, however it has seen some degradation in volumetric sales at certain Thermal locations. The Company continues to anticipate that there will be lower volumetric sales at the Thermal segment through 2021.

Operational Performance

(MWh and MWht in thousands)	Three Months Ended				Twelve Months Ended
	12/31/20		12/31/19		12/31/20		12/31/19
Conventional Equivalent Availability Factor²	96.7	%	97.8	%	94.9	%	94.9	%
Renewables Generation Sold (MWh)³	1,714		1,401		7,460		6,584
Thermal Generation Sold (MWh/MWht)	474		553		1,995		2,329

¹ Includes adjustments to reflect CAFD generated by unconsolidated investments that were unable to distribute project dividends due to the PG&E bankruptcy as of June 30, 2020
² Excludes unconsolidated projects
³ Generation sold excludes MWh that are reimbursable for economic curtailment

In the fourth quarter of 2020, availability at the Conventional segment was lower than the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to an outage at El Segundo in December. The project is currently online and operating within expectations. Generation in the Renewables segment during the fourth quarter of 2020 was 22% higher than the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to the consolidation of the Distributed Generation Partnerships as a result of the Company's acquisition of Clearway Group's remaining interest in November 2020 and other growth investments. Thermal generation was 14% lower during the fourth quarter of 2020 versus last year primarily due to the disposition of Energy Center Dover and a decline in volumetric sales in part due to COVID-19 related impacts.

In February of 2021, severe winter weather impacted areas of the country, including Texas where the Company owns, or has an investment in, several wind projects. While the projects are now operating within expectations, during the weather event certain wind projects were unable to operate preventing the delivery of electricity to the power grid. The Company continues to assess the full financial exposure related to the circumstances, including potential mitigants, ongoing discussions with contractual counterparties, any potential disputes which may result and any state sponsored solutions to address the financial impacts caused by the circumstances. Based on available information, the Company currently estimates a direct cash impact between $20 million and $30 million in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

($ millions)	12/31/2020		12/31/2019
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Clearway Energy, Inc. and Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries	$	119	$	30
Subsidiaries	149		125
Restricted Cash:
Operating accounts	73		129
Reserves, including debt service, distributions, performance obligations and other reserves	124		133
Total Cash	$	465	$	417
Revolving credit facility availability	429		425
Total Liquidity	$	894	$	842

Total liquidity as of December 31, 2020 was $894 million, which was $52 million higher than as of December 31, 2019 primarily due to the release of previously restricted distributions from unconsolidated investments impacted by the PG&E bankruptcy, proceeds raised through corporate financings, distributions from non-recourse refinancings, and the proceeds from the residential solar portfolio divestiture which closed in May 2020. This increase was in part offset by the execution of growth investments during the year and the redemption of the remaining balance of the 2024 Senior Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes in the first half of 2020.

The Company's liquidity includes $197 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2020. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted in their use. As of December 31, 2020, these restricted funds were comprised of $73 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $24 million designated for current debt service payments, and $45 million of reserves for debt service, performance obligations and other items including capital expenditures. The remaining $55 million is held in distribution reserve accounts.

Potential future sources of liquidity include excess operating cash flow, availability under the revolving credit facility, asset dispositions, and, subject to market conditions, new corporate debt and equity financings.

Growth Investments

Binding Agreement to Acquire Mt. Storm Wind Project

On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Mt. Storm, a 264 MW asset in West Virginia, from Castleton Commodities International. Mt. Storm will have a 10-year energy hedge with an investment-grade counterparty. The corporate capital commitment for the transaction is expected to be $96 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the project is not expected to have a meaningful contribution to CAFD in 2021, but is expected to contribute asset CAFD on a five-year average annual basis of approximately $10 million beginning January 1, 2022. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including FERC and Hart-Scott-Rodino and is expected to close in the first half of 2021.

Purchase of an Additional 35% interest in the Agua Caliente Solar Project

On February 3, 2021 the Company acquired an additional 35% equity interest in the Agua Caliente solar project from NRG Energy, Inc. for $202 million. Agua Caliente is a 290 MW solar project located in Dateland, Arizona in which Clearway previously owned a 16% equity interest. The project has approximately 19 years remaining under a PPA with PG&E and the acquisition is expected to provide incremental annual asset CAFD on a five-year average basis of $20 million prior to corporate financing. Following the close of the transaction, the Company owns a 51% equity interest in Agua Caliente and will now consolidate the project in its financial statements, which includes the project’s $719 million of non-recourse project debt as of December 31, 2020. The project’s non-recourse debt is fully amortizing and matures in 2037.

Agreements for Cash Equity Partnership in a 1.6 GW Portfolio

On December 22, 2020, the Company announced agreements providing for Clearway’s co-investment in a 1,204 MW portfolio of renewable energy projects developed by Clearway Group (CEG) consisting of i) 1,012 MW from five geographically diversified wind, solar, and solar plus storage assets under development and ii) the 192 MW Rosamond Central solar project which commenced operations in early 2021. Additionally, the parties amended the existing partnership agreement for the 419 MW Mesquite Star wind project providing the Company an additional 27.51% of the project’s cash flows after the first half of 2031. Approximately 90% of the generation from the projects are contracted with a diverse group of primarily investment grade counterparties and the portfolio has a greater than 14-year blended average contract length. Subject to closing adjustments and the projects achieving certain milestones, the Company expects to invest approximately $215 million in net corporate capital by the end of 2022. The expected net corporate capital includes a purchase price adjustment of $5 million received concurrent with a partnership agreement amendment for the additional interest in Mesquite Star. Based on the current expected timing of the projects achieving COD, the Company expects, before corporate financing costs, the asset CAFD contribution from the investments to be immaterial in 2021, approximately $9 million in 2022, and $20 million on a 5-year average basis beginning on January 1, 2023.

The assets in the partnership include:

Asset	Project Type	CWEN Cash Allocation		MW⁴	State	Target Financial Closing
Additional Interest in Mesquite Star⁵	Utility Wind	50	%	419	TX	Operating
Rosamond Central	Solar	50	%	192	CA	Operating
Mesquite Sky	Utility Wind	50	%	345	TX	2H21
Black Rock	Utility Wind	50	%	110	WV	2H21
Waiawa	Solar/Storage	50	%	36	HI	1H22
Mililani	Solar/Storage	50	%	39	HI	1H22
Daggett Solar	Solar/Storage	25	%	482	CA	2H22

⁴ MW capacity is subject to change prior to COD; excludes 395 MW/1,580 MWh of co-located storage assets at Daggett, Waiawa, and Milila
⁵ The 50% cash allocation percentage for Mesquite Star represents CWEN’s total cash allocation percentage in the project inclusive of its September 1, 2020 acquisition of its initial interest in the project.

Under the portfolio partnership agreements, Clearway will act as managing member. The remaining interest in the cash equity partnerships will be owned by Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“Hannon Armstrong”) (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in climate solutions. On December 21, 2020, the Company acquired its 50% cash equity interest in Rosamond Central for approximately $24 million and completed the amendment for the additional interest in Mesquite Star. Definitive agreements relating to the Daggett, Waiawa, and Mililani projects remain subject to certain conditions and the review and approval by CWEN’s Independent Directors.

Purchase of Repowered Langford Wind Project

On November 20, 2020, the Company acquired from Clearway Energy Group (CEG) 100% of the cash equity interests in Langford Wind, a 160 MW asset in West Texas which achieved repowering commercial operations in November 2020. The corporate capital commitment for the transaction, was $64.3 million and the project is expected to contribute asset CAFD on a five-year average annual basis of approximately $8.5 million.

Binding Agreements to Acquire and Invest in a Portfolio of Renewable Energy Projects

On April 20, 2020 the Company announced it had entered into binding agreements with CEG that enables the Company to acquire and invest in a portfolio of renewable energy projects. The following projects were included in the drop-down:

Remaining Interest in Repowering 1.0: The Company acquired this interest on May 11, 2020 for $70 million.
Rattlesnake Wind: On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of CEG's equity interest in Rattlesnake Flat, LLC, which owns the Rattlesnake Wind Project, a 160 net MW wind facility located in Adams County, WA. The project has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Avista and achieved commercial operations in January 2021. The Company acquired the equity interest for $132 million and expects its net corporate capital commitment to be $119 million.⁶
Pinnacle Wind Repowering: On February 26, 2021, the Company, through an indirect subsidiary, entered into an amended partnership agreement with CEG to repower the Pinnacle Wind Project, a 55 net MW wind facility located in Mineral County, WV. The amended agreement commits the Company to invest an estimated $67 million in net corporate capital, subject to closing adjustments, and no longer requires an additional payment in 2031. The existing Pinnacle Wind power purchase agreements will continue to run through 2031. Commercial operations and corporate capital funding for the Pinnacle Wind Repowering Partnership are expected to occur in the second half of 2021.

The agreements commit the Company to invest an estimated $256 million in net corporate capital, subject to closing adjustments. The transactions are expected to have a five-year average annual asset CAFD of approximately $23 million prior to corporate financing costs.

⁶ Net corporate capital is after proceeds from a state sales and use tax refund expected to be received in 2021; per terms of the acquisition agreement the Company’s net corporate capital will be no higher than $119 million should the refund be less than expected

Quarterly Dividend

On February 12, 2021, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Class A and Class C common stock of $0.324 per share payable on March 15, 2021, to stockholders of record as of March 1, 2021.

Seasonality

Clearway Energy, Inc.’s quarterly operating results are impacted by seasonal factors, as well as weather variability which can impact renewable energy resource and volumetric sales of steam and chilled water at the Thermal segment. Most of the Company's revenues are generated from the months of May through September, as contracted pricing and renewable resources are at their highest levels in the Company’s portfolio. Factors driving the fluctuation in Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash from Operating Activities, and CAFD include the following:

Higher summer capacity prices from conventional assets;
Higher solar insolation during the summer months;
Higher wind resources during the spring and summer months;
Debt service payments which are made either quarterly or semi-annually;
Timing of maintenance capital expenditures and the impact of both unforced and forced outages; and
Timing of distributions from unconsolidated affiliates

The Company takes into consideration the timing of these factors to ensure sufficient funds are available for distributions and operating activities on a quarterly basis.

Financial Guidance and Pro Forma CAFD Outlook

The Company is reiterating its 2021 full year CAFD guidance of $325 million.

2021 financial guidance factors in the contribution of committed growth investments based on current expected closing timelines, estimates for potential impacts on Thermal volumes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company’s current estimated financial exposure from the previously mentioned February 2021 severe weather event in Texas. 2021 CAFD guidance does not factor in the timing of when CAFD is realized from new growth investments pursuant to 5-year averages beyond 2021.

With the effects above, the timing of CAFD realization pursuant to 5-year averages, and the Mt. Storm acquisition, which has yet to close, the Company is updating its Pro Forma CAFD Outlook expectations to approximately $385 million.

Financial guidance and the Pro Forma CAFD Outlook continue to be based on median renewable energy production estimates for the full year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) are non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that Clearway Energy’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

EBITDA represents net income before interest (including loss on debt extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because Clearway Energy considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes debt and equity holders frequently use EBITDA to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than Clearway Energy does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to invest in the growth of Clearway Energy’s business. Clearway Energy compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in the financial statements that are a part of this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for mark-to-market gains or losses, non-cash equity compensation expense, asset write offs and impairments; and factors which we do not consider indicative of future operating performance such as transition and integration related costs. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons Clearway Energy considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future Clearway Energy may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this news release.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. This measure 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 can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

Additionally, Management believes that investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of restructuring and other expenses, which vary widely from company to company and impair comparability. As we define it, Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for the effects of impairment losses, gains or losses on sales, non-cash equity compensation expense, dispositions or retirements of assets, any mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, adjustments to exclude gains or losses on the repurchase, modification or extinguishment of debt, and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items plus adjustments to reflect the Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated investments. We adjust for these items in our Adjusted EBITDA as our management believes that these items would distort their ability to efficiently view and assess our core operating trends.

In summary, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.

Cash Available for Distribution

A non-GAAP measure, Cash Available for Distribution is defined as of December 31, 2020 as Adjusted EBITDA plus cash distributions/return of investment from unconsolidated affiliates, adjustments to reflect CAFD generated by unconsolidated investments that were not able to distribute project dividends prior to PG&E's emergence from bankruptcy on July 1, 2020 and subsequent release post-bankruptcy, cash receipts from notes receivable, cash distributions from noncontrolling interests, adjustments to reflect sales-type lease cash payments, less cash distributions to noncontrolling interests, maintenance capital expenditures, pro-rata Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest paid, income taxes paid, principal amortization of indebtedness, Walnut Creek investment payments, changes in prepaid and accrued capacity payments, and adjusted for development expenses. Management believes CAFD is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors.

We believe CAFD is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of our ability to make quarterly distributions. In addition, CAFD is used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to CAFD is cash provided by operating activities.

However, CAFD has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results from operations. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to cash provided by operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of CAFD are not necessarily comparable to CAFD as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including cash provided by operating activities.
