How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Q2 performance shows double-digit revenue growth and higher gross profit, while Energy Storage revenues nearly tripled YoY. Management also advanced EGS pilots and introduced the Ormega100 surface generation unit, and it raised full-year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
Market read
Traders can update models and positioning based on the raised full-year guidance and the quantified segment drivers, especially Energy Storage momentum.
What to watch
The filing notes a $6.6 million write-off of storage projects Ormat decided not to pursue, which could signal pipeline selectivity or execution risk even amid strong reported growth.
Continued execution on Ormat's growth strategy drove double-digit revenue growth while advancing EGS development
Total revenues increased 10.6%, gross profit increased 20.8%, Energy Storage revenue increased 195.1%, and the Company increased full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. GAAP operating income and net income attributable to stockholders declined, affected primarily by a $6.6 million write-off of storage projects no longer being pursued and lower Product segment revenue and margin.

Segments
| Segment | Revenue | q/q | y/y |
|---|---|---|---|
| ElectricityContributions from the Blue Mountain acquisition, improved generation at the Puna and Olkaria facilities, higher energy rates at Puna and lower curtailments compared to the prior-year period were partially offset by planned maintenance activities. Gross margin was 23.7%, compared to 24.2%. | $169.3 million | – | 5.8% |
| ProductRevenue declined due to the timing of manufacturing and construction progress. Gross margin declined to 9.7% due to high expenses related to construction costs of a project in Europe and the impact of changes in exchange rate on overall manufacturing costs. | $46.7 million | – | (21.6)% |
| Energy StorageHigh asset availability enabled the Company to capitalize on strong merchant pricing in the PJM market, alongside new portfolio capacity additions over the past 12 months. Gross margin was 56.2%, compared to 11.9%. | $42.8 million | – | 195.1% |

Analysis
Ormat reported second-quarter total revenues of $258.8 million, up 10.6% from $234.0 million, while gross profit increased 20.8% to $68.7 million. Consolidated gross margin increased to 26.5% from 24.3%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.9% to $143.9 million, and adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.50 from $0.48. The Company increased its full-year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
Energy Storage was the principal source of quarterly growth. Segment revenue increased 195.1% to $42.8 million and segment gross margin reached 56.2%, compared with 11.9% in the prior-year period. Management attributed the performance to high asset availability, strong merchant pricing in the PJM market and new capacity additions. Electricity revenue increased 5.8% to $169.3 million, supported by Blue Mountain, improved Puna and Olkaria performance, higher Puna energy rates and lower U.S. curtailments, partly offset by planned maintenance.
Product performance was the offset. Product revenue declined 21.6% to $46.7 million due to manufacturing and construction timing, and Product gross margin declined to 9.7% from 27.7%. The Company cited construction costs for a European project and exchange-rate effects on manufacturing costs, while stating that it expects Product gross margin to improve in the second half. At the consolidated level, operating income declined 3.2% to $34.2 million and GAAP net income attributable to stockholders declined 3.4% to $27.1 million. Management identified a $6.6 million write-off of storage projects no longer being pursued as the primary driver of the net-income decline.
Capital allocation included a declared quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable September 2, 2026, to holders of record on August 19, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents were 513,747 (Dollars in thousands) at June 30, 2026, versus 147,448 (Dollars in thousands) at December 31, 2025. The Company also reported ongoing project expansion, including 202 MW of electricity generation projects and 497 MW / 1,888 MWh of energy storage projects under construction and development, as well as approximately $202.8 million of Product backlog. EGS development advanced through the SLB and Sage Geosystems pilots, with Desert Peak drilling planned in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The updated full-year outlook calls for total revenues of between $1,150 million and $1,200 million and Adjusted EBITDA of between $630 million and $650 million. Segment guidance calls for Electricity revenue of between $710 million and $725 million, Product revenue of between $300 million and $320 million, and Energy Storage revenue of between $140 million and $155 million. Management's outlook is supported by first-half performance, merchant and contracted Energy Storage exposure, portfolio additions and the development pipeline, while Product margin recovery and execution on storage and EGS projects remain central items to monitor.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter results reflect the continued successful execution of our diversified growth strategy. We delivered double-digit revenue growth while expanding gross profit by more than 20%, reflecting the strength and balance of our three operating segments. Based on our strong first-half performance and positive momentum across our business, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.
Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat
Our Electricity segment built on its growth momentum during the quarter, driven by contributions from our Blue Mountain geothermal power plant acquired in June 2025, improved performance at our Olkaria and Puna power plants, and lower curtailments in the USA compared to the prior-year period. Our Energy Storage segment delivered another outstanding quarter, with revenues increasing nearly threefold year-over-year.
Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat
We continued to make significant progress on our EGS strategy during the quarter.

Background
Ormat is a geothermal and renewable energy producer with an expanding energy storage business and an EGS (enhanced geothermal systems) technology development program.
Ticker impact
Ormat reported Q2 2026 results and raised full-year 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, with energy storage revenues nearly tripling YoY.
Near-term upside bias as raised guidance and strong segment momentum can support estimates and sentiment, though investors may focus on sustainability of merchant pricing and storage write-offs.
This is a primary SEC filing with quantified quarterly performance (revenue, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA) and a stated guidance increase, which are direct inputs to valuation and near-term positioning.
Market effects
Reinforces demand and pricing strength in grid-scale energy storage and supports the geothermal/renewables growth narrative for the sector.
Limited direct regional read-through; mentions PJM merchant pricing and US curtailment trends that can influence storage peers’ sentiment.
Modest global relevance, mainly through renewables financing and project pipeline confidence rather than macro policy.
Counterpoint
Energy Storage strength may be partly merchant-price and availability driven, which can mean volatility if pricing normalizes or if project execution slips.
