MONTREAL, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Financial results of Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") for the third quarter of 2010 already show the impact of the acquisition of Boralex Power Income Fund (the "Fund") as well as the contributions made by the newly commissioned wind power facilities, but also reflect the Canadian dollar's strength and weak REC market.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, Boralex generated revenues of $42.1 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of $10.9 million compared with $39.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, for the same quarter of 2009. Results were bolstered by the contribution of the Fund's power stations since September 15, 2010 and the commissioning of new wind power facilities but dampened by the Canadian dollar's strength against the U.S. currency and the euro as well as lower REC sales and expiry of the U.S. government's renewable energy tax credit program.

Boralex generated net earnings of $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared with $0.7 million in the corresponding period of 2009. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of the Fund and certain other specific items related to the transaction with the Fund, Boralex recorded a net loss of $2.7 million compared with net earnings of $0.7 million for the same quarter of 2009.

With the completion of the acquisition of the Fund and the integration of its assets into Boralex's portfolio, the significant impact these power stations will have on Boralex's revenues and EBITDA is already evident. Their contribution to revenue growth and stable cash flows will be fully reflected over the coming quarters. "With the acquisition of the Fund, we have achieved a strategic objective that creates value for all the stakeholders of the Corporation. It will provide leverage for Boralex's future development, contributing to the successful completion of projects and continued expansion," states Patrick Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boralex.

Boralex anticipates growth in the wind power segment for the remainder of 2010, with the three new wind farms in France contributing fully to results and the commissioning of Phase II of the Thames River wind farms. With regards to the hydroelectric segment, the unfavourable water flow conditions in the third quarter will likely make room for improved results in the coming months with the addition of the Fund's power stations.

Last, in line with its strategy, Boralex continues to fine tune its thermal power stations' output according to market conditions. Boralex is also analyzing in detail the american rules of the new Biomass Crop Assistance Program and will soon be able to assess its future impact on Boralex's results, as well as the renewal of the U.S. renewable energy tax credit program currently under review at the U.S. Congress.

Boralex announces the re-election of Pierre Seccareccia, as Director, whose experience and advice will continue to greatly benefit the Corporation.

Certain statements contained in this press release, including those regarding future results and performance, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, but not limited to, the general impact of economic conditions, raw material price increases and availability, currency fluctuations, fluctuations in electricity selling prices, the Company's financing capacity, adverse changes in general market and industry conditions, as well as other factors listed in the Company's filings with different securities commissions.

The summarized financial statements included in this press release also contain certain financial measurements that are not recognized as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of Canada ("GAAP"). To assess the operating performance of its assets and reporting segments, the Corporation uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and cash flows from operations as performance measurements. These measures are not defined under GAAP and do not have a standardized definition prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. EBITDA corresponds to Operating income as defined in the summarized financial statements included with this press release. Cash flows from operations corresponds to cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital items as disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows attached in this press release.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Corporation's power stations are grouped into four distinct segments: wind power, hydroelectric power, wood-residue thermal power and natural gas thermal power, and are engaged mainly in power generation. The classification of these segments is based on the different cost structures relating to each of the four types of power stations. The main accounting policies that apply to the operating segments are the same as those described in note 2 in Boralex's 2009 Annual Report.

The Corporation analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). EBITDA is not a measure of performance under Canadian GAAP; however, management uses this measure to assess the operating performance of its segments. EBITDA corresponds to Operating income. Results for each segment are presented on the same basis as those of the Corporation.

The following table reconciles EBITDA with net earnings:
