Exhibit 99.1

ReNew Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter

of Fiscal Year 2024 (Q4 FY24) and Fiscal Year 2024,

June 05, 2024: ReNew Energy Global Plc (“ReNew” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: RNW, RNWWW), a leading decarbonization solutions company, today announced its unaudited consolidated IFRS results for Q4 FY24 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Key Operating Metrics

As of March 31, 2024, our total portfolio consisted of 13,456 MWs and commissioned capacity was 8,871 MWs, an increase of 11.2% year on year, of which 4,463 MWs were wind, 4,309 MWs were solar and 99 MWs were hydro. In FY24, we commissioned 497 MWs of wind and 794 MWs of solar capacity against 187 MWs of wind and 227 MWs of solar capacity in FY23. In addition, we operationalized 270 MWs of wind and 380 MWs of solar capacity, which is generating pre-commissioning revenue through sales in the merchant market, taking the total revenue-generating capacity to 9,521 MWs. Further, we sold 400 MWs of solar capacity in FY24, of which, 300 MWs of solar capacity was sold in Q4 FY24.

In Q4 FY24, we commissioned 69 MWs of wind and 585 MWs of solar capacity against 46 MWs of wind and 170 MWs of solar capacity during Q4 FY23. In addition, we operationalized 270 MWs of wind and 380 MWs of solar capacity, which is generating pre-commissioning revenue through sales in the merchant market.

 

Electricity Sold

Total electricity sold in FY24 was 19,061 million kWh, an increase of 11.3% over FY23. Total electricity sold in Q4 FY24 was 4,231 million kWh, an increase of 9.2% over Q4 FY23.

Electricity sold in FY24 from wind assets was 9,906 million kWh, an increase of 14.7% over FY23. Electricity sold in FY24 from solar assets was 8,765 million kWh, an increase of 8.6% over FY23. Electricity sold in FY24 from hydro assets was 390 million kWh, a decrease of 6.4% over FY23.

 

---

 

Electricity sold in Q4 FY24 from wind assets was 1,849 million kWh, an increase of 8.9% over Q4 FY23. Electricity sold in Q4 FY24 from solar assets was 2,348 million kWh, an increase of 9.6% over Q4 FY23. Electricity sold for Q4 FY24 from hydro assets was 34 million kWh, similar to Q4 FY23.

Plant Load Factor

Our weighted average Plant Load Factor (“PLF”) for FY24 for wind assets was 26.4%, compared to 25.5% for FY23. The PLF for FY24 for solar assets was 24.6%, compared to 24.8% for FY23.

Our weighted average Plant Load Factor (“PLF”) for Q4 FY24 for wind assets was 18.4%, compared to 20.0% for Q4 FY23. The PLF for Q4 FY24 for solar assets was 25.5%, compared to 26.5% for Q4 FY23.

Total Income

Total Income for FY24 was INR 96,531 million (US$ 1,158 million), an increase of 8.1% over FY23. The increase in total income was primarily due to higher operational capacity, gain on sale of assets and finance income, partially offset by lower other operating income. Total income includes finance income and fair value change in derivative instruments & share warrants of INR 5,823 million (US$ 70 million) and gain on sale of assets amounting to INR 3,659 million (US$ 44 million).

Total Income for Q4 FY24 was INR 24,776 million (US$ 297 million), a decrease of 4.4% over Q4 FY23. The decrease in total income was primarily due to lower revenue recognized for our transmission projects (IFRIC 12 on Service concession agreements), partially offset by higher operational capacity, gain on sale of assets and finance income. Total income includes finance income and fair value change in derivative instruments & share warrants of INR 1,965 million (US$ 24 million) and gain on sale of assets amounting to INR 3,339 million (US$ 40 million).

Employee Benefits Expense

Employee benefits expense for FY24 was INR 4,467 million (US$ 54 million), similar to FY23 with the increase in headcount being offset by lower expense related to employee share-based payments.

Employee benefits expense for Q4 FY24 was INR 848 million (US$ 10 million), a decrease of 28.0% over Q4 FY23 due to the actualization (reversal) of employee-related provisions and higher time allocation to under-construction projects.

Other Expenses

Other Expenses for FY24 were INR 14,834 million (US$ 178 million), an increase of 8.8% over FY23. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in operating activities and non-cash provisions created for contractual obligations, partially offset by a lower mark-to-market impact for carbon credit inventory.

Other Expenses for Q4 FY24 were INR 4,503 million (US$ 54 million), a decrease of 14.9% over Q4 FY23. The decrease was primarily driven by lower mark-to-market impact for carbon credit inventory.

Finance Costs and Fair Value Change in Derivative Instruments

Finance costs and fair value change in derivative instruments for FY24 was INR 47,506 million (US$ 570 million), a decrease of 6.8% over FY23. The decrease in finance costs is primarily due to the lower cost of refinanced debt, including lower unwinding cost of related derivative instruments, and lower non-cash mark-to-market impact (INR depreciation against USD was lower in FY24 versus FY23), partially offset by an increase in finance costs due to an increase in operational assets from the previous year.

Finance costs and fair value change in derivative instruments for Q4 FY24 was INR 11,689 million (US$ 140 million), an increase of 26.9% over Q4 FY23. The increase in finance costs was primarily due to higher non-cash mark-to-market impact (INR depreciation against USD was higher in Q4 FY24 versus Q4 FY23), and higher unwinding cost of derivative instruments to limit future currency risk exposure.

Net Profit/ Loss

The net profit for FY24 was INR 4,147 million (US$ 50 million) compared to a net loss of INR 5,029 million (US$ 60 million) for FY23, with the improvement primarily driven by higher operating revenue, gain on sale of assets, higher finance income and lower financing costs.

The net profit for Q4 FY24 was INR 609 million (US$ 7 million) compared to INR 74 million (US$ 1 million) for Q4 FY23, with the improvement primarily driven by higher operating revenue, gain on sale of assets, higher finance income and lower other expenses offset partially by higher financing costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for FY24 was INR 69,216 million (US$ 831 million) compared to INR 62,004 million (US$ 744 million) for FY23. Net profit, the IFRS line item from which we derive Adjusted EBITDA, for FY24 was positively impacted by a gain on sale of assets amounting to INR 3,659 million (US$ 44 million). During FY24, we recognized revenue of INR 4,347 million (US$ 52 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of INR 622 million (US$ 7 million) for FY24 for our transmission projects.

Adjusted EBITDA Q4 FY24 was INR 16,810 million (US$ 202 million), compared to INR 12,010 million (US$ 144 million) in Q4 FY23. Net profit, the IFRS line item from which we derive Adjusted EBITDA, for Q4 FY24 was positively impacted by a gain on sale of assets amounting to INR 3,339 million (US$ 40 million). During Q4 FY24, we recognized revenue of INR 1,097 million (US$ 13 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of INR 116 million (US$ 1 million) in Q4 FY24 for our transmission projects.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. For more information, see “Use of Non-IFRS Measures” elsewhere in this release. IFRS refers to International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to IFRS financial measures, and operating results are included at the end of this release.

FY 25 Guidance

The Company expects to complete construction of between 1,900 to 2,400 MWs by the end of Fiscal Year 2025. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow to Equity guidance for FY25 are subject to weather being similar to FY24. The Company anticipates continued net gains on sales of assets, which is part of Renew’s capital recycling strategy, and has included INR 1-2 billion of gains in the guidance below:

 

Financial Year		Adjusted EBITDA		Cash Flow to equity (CFe)
FY25		INR 76 – INR 82 billion		INR 12 – INR 14 billion

 

We expect to reach gross operating capacity of 15 to 16 GWs by the end of Fiscal Year 2027 and 19 to 20 GWs, after capital recycling, by the end of Fiscal Year 2029. Accordingly, we are providing the following long term run rate guidance:

 

Operating GWs		Adjusted EBITDA run-rate		CFe run-rate
15 - 16		INR 110 – INR 115 billion		INR 30 – INR 32 billion
19 - 20		INR 142 – INR 150 billion		INR 35 – INR 42 billion

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operating activities for FY24 was INR 79,608 million (US$ 955 million), compared to INR 65,572 million (US$ 787 million) for FY23. The increase was driven by higher operating profits and lower working capital deployment primarily due to a reduction in trade receivables and contract assets in FY24.

Cash generated from operating activities for Q4 FY24 was INR 28,359 million (US$ 340 million), compared to INR 16,043 million (US$ 192 million) for Q4 FY23. The increase was driven by higher operating profits and lower working capital deployment primarily due to a reduction in trade receivables and contract assets in Q4 FY24.

Cash used in investing activities for FY24 was INR 173,212 million (US$ 2,078 million), compared to INR 74,978 million (US$ 900 million) for FY23. Cash was used for investment in renewable energy projects.

Cash used in investing activities for Q4 FY24 was INR 39,939 million (US$ 479 million), compared to INR 18,001 million (US$ 216 million) for Q4 FY23. Cash was used primarily for investment in renewable energy projects partially set off by proceeds from the disposal of subsidiaries.

Cash generated from financing activities for FY24 was INR 82,417 million (US$ 989 million), compared to INR 19,113 million (US$ 229 million) in FY23. The increase was primarily on account of higher proceeds (net of repayments) from project financing, including debt raised for bond refinancing partially set off by higher interest paid during FY24.

Cash used in financing activities for Q4 FY24 was INR 17,316 million (US$ 208 million), compared to cash generated from financing activities of INR 32,599 million (US$ 391 million) in Q4 FY23. The decrease was primarily due to repayment of our US$ 325 million bond in Q4 FY24 through proceeds from long-term project debt raised in Q3 FY24.

Capital Expenditure

In FY24, we commissioned and/or operationalized 1,941 MWs of projects for which our capex was INR 124,488 million (US$ 1,494 million). In Q4 FY24, we commissioned and/or operationalized 1,304 MWs of projects for which our capex was INR 74,280 million (US$ 891 million).

Liquidity Position

As of March 31, 2024, we had INR 80,615 million (US$ 967 million) of cash and bank balances. This included an aggregate of cash and cash equivalents of INR 27,021 million (US$ 324 million) and INR 53,594 million (US$ 643 million) as bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, including deposits with maturities of more than twelve months.

Net Debt

Net debt as of March 31, 2024, was INR 566,701 million (US$ 6,800 million).

Receivables

Total receivables as of March 31, 2024, were INR 21,856 million (US$ 262 million), of which INR 4,270 million (US$ 51 million) was unbilled and others. The DSO were 77 days as on March 31, 2024, as compared to 138 days as of March 31, 2023, an improvement of 61-days year on year.

Gain on sale of assets

During FY24, we sold 400 MWs of solar capacity, of which 300 MWs of solar capacity was sold in Q4 FY24, as part of our capital recycling strategy. This resulted in a gain on sale amounting to INR 3,659 million (US$ 44 million), included in total income. Consequent to the asset sale, there was lower in-year sale of power to customers amounting to INR 581 million (US$ 7 million), resulting in a net gain on sale of assets amounting to INR 3,078 million (US$ 37 million).

Subsequent event

Subsequent to fiscal year-end, the company signed ~2.2 GWs of PPAs, taking the portfolio from ~13.5 GWs as of March 31, 2024, to ~15.6 GWs as of May 31, 2024.

Other event: Extension of term of Lead Independent Director from August 23, 2024, upto AGM of 2025

On June 4, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ReNew Energy Global Plc (“ReNew” or the "Company") have extended the term of the Lead Independent Director (Mr. Manoj Singh) from August 23, 2024, up to Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Year 2025. In the AGM of 2023, Mr. Singh was re-appointed as Independent Director with effect from August 23, 2023 up to the AGM of Year 2025.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with IFRS and should not be viewed as an alternative to IFRS measures of performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Profit/(loss) for the period plus (a) current and deferred tax, (b) finance costs and FV changes on derivative instruments, (c) change in fair value of warrants (if recorded as expense) (d) depreciation and amortization, (e) listing expenses, (f) share based payment and other expense related to listing less (g) share in profit/(loss) of jointly controlled entities (h) finance income and FV change in derivative instruments, (I) change in fair value of warrants (if recorded as income). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing our ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability on a like to like basis between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of our operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income or other measures of performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.

Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on our capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expenses can vary considerably among companies.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations include:

•

it does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments or foreign exchange gain/loss;

•

it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital;

•

it does not reflect significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on outstanding debt;

•

it does not reflect payments made or future requirements for income taxes; and

•

although depreciation, amortization and impairment are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or paid in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements or payments.

Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. For more information, please see the Reconciliations of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA towards the end of this earnings release.

Cash Flow to Equity (CFe)

CFe is a Non-IFRS financial measure. We present CFe as a supplemental measure of our performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with IFRS and should not be viewed as an alternative to IFRS measures of performance. The presentation of CFe should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We define CFe as Adjusted EBITDA add non-cash expense and finance income and fair value change in derivative, less interest expense paid, tax paid/(refund) and normalized loan repayments. Normalized loan repayments are repayment of scheduled payments as per the loan agreement. Ad Hoc payments and refinancing (including planned arrangements/ borrowings in previous periods) are not included in normalized loan repayments. The definition also excludes changes in net working capital and investing activities.

 

---

 

We believe IFRS metrics, such as net income (loss) and cash from operating activities, do not provide the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of our operating business as a result of the long-term capital-intensive nature of our businesses, non-cash depreciation and amortization, cash used for debt servicing as well as investments and costs related to the growth of our business.

Our business owns high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Cash Flows to Equity over time. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use CFe both to assess ReNew performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return, assess the value of the business and the platform. This has been a widely used metric by analysts to value our business, and hence we believe this will better help potential investors in analyzing the cash generation from our operating assets.

We have disclosed CFe for our operational assets on a consolidated basis, which is not our cash from operations on a consolidated basis. We believe CFe supplements IFRS results to provide a more complete understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would not otherwise be achieved using IFRS results alone. CFe should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under IFRS.
