Isaac Angel, Ormat's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Ormat's strong execution during the third quarter enabled the Company to deliver exceptional results and underscore its reputation as a leader in the geothermal industry. Our focus on expanding and optimizing our power plants combined with the new capacity that came on line in 2013 drove increased generation and improved our margins. The ongoing enhancement of our power plants will enable us to continue these positive trends going forward. In the product segment, the addition of Sarulla has enabled us to reach a robust backlog of approximately $363.0 million. As those orders move through the manufacturing process and are delivered, we expect segment revenues to strengthen again in the fourth quarter."

Mr. Angel concluded, "My transition into the role of CEO has been seamless and I am pleased with the Company's accomplishments during my first full quarter. As a result of our strong performance, we are raising the low end of our 2014 guidance and narrowing the range. We now expect total revenues to be between $550.0 million to $560.0 million with electricity revenues ranging from $375.0 million to $380.0 million and our product segment revenues to be between $175.0 million and $180.0 million."

Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Additional Cash Flows Information
For the Three and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
(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, excluding impairment of long-lived assets and one-time termination fee. 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 tables reconcile net cash provided by operating activities and net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:
