How do you handle the NCIs payments (non controlling interest) in terms of valuation. Are those already handled in your given multiples.

It's a rather confusing part in their numbers as they seem to use them as a non cash item . They are so transparent about PPP and stuff but this is rather confusing . I am not sure if they should be excluded , and if not valuation is at least more expensive than the numbers show !

This is an interesting one! Done a little work myself. I'm wondering if their metric "Cash available for distribution" is better to look at than any other metric since it seems like minority interests take a chunk of the cash and they have a bunch of non-cash things going on. They generated ~ CAD $28M in the TTM, for a current P/CAFD of around 7x. That's still pretty cheap, but not as cheap as EV/EBITDA would lead us to believe.

I also wonder about their ability to actually reduce cost inflation while staying competitive. Seems like that would have to happen for this to get a bid. Any thoughts?
