"Although we experienced mechanical issues at two of our operating plants that negatively impacted gross profit by approximately $1.2 million, we also had non-recurring costs that impacted our results for the first nine months of 2017," said Douglas Glaspey, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "Our plants are performing well as we enter our best quarter of the year for historical generation, and we are optimistic that we will deliver results within the guidance range that we have updated today."
