1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Ameresco, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Ameresco,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) are unaudited, according to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in our opinion, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) of the results for the periods indicated.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our annual report on Form 10-K (“2021 Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2022.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to result in global supply chain disruptions and certain governmental travel and other restrictions.

We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used, which may change in response to this evolving situation. Results of future operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by a number of factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions, potential loss of employees due to vaccine mandates, and uncertain demand. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations in the foreseeable future. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on us is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such impacts could exist for an extended period of time, even after the pandemic subsides.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting.

that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 provide optional expedients to the current guidance on contract modification and hedge accounting from the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires annual disclosures about certain types of government assistance received. ASU 2021-10 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method, which expands the current single-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio to be hedged under the method. ASU 2022-01 is effective for our fiscal year ending beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the measurement criteria for equity securities and refines the disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for our fiscal year ending beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Total contract liabilities	$	32,643	$	40,615

(1) Performance obligations that are expected to be completed beyond the next twelve months and are included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The increase in contract assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to revenue recognized of $845,211 offset by billings of $492,820. Contract assets also increased due to reclassifications, primarily from contract liabilities as a result of timing of customer payments. The increase in contract liabilities was primarily driven by the receipt of advance payments from customers, and related billings, as well as reclassifications from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments. In addition, the advance payments and reclassifications, exceeded the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we billed customers $59,453 and recognized revenue of $64,145 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

The increase in contract assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to revenue recognized of $277,960 offset by billings of $288,012. Contract assets also increased due to reclassifications from contract liabilities as a result of timing of customer payments. The decrease in contract liabilities was primarily driven by recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied exceeding increases from the receipt of advance payment from customers, and related billings. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $98,570 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities and billed customers $70,884. Changes in contract liabilities are also driven by reclassifications to or from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments.

•specified the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of (a) cash flow of the core Ameresco companies, to (b) debt service of the core Ameresco companies as of the end of each fiscal quarter to be less than 1.5, and

•increased our limit under an energy conversation project financing to $650,000, which provides us with flexibility to grow our federal business further.

The revolving credit facility may be increased by an amount up to an additional $100,000 in increments of at least $25,000 at the approval of the lenders, subject to certain conditions.

We accounted for this amendment as a modification and at closing we incurred $2,048 in lenders fees which were reflected as debt discount and $352 in third party fees which were reflected as debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of the previous agreement are being amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreement, with the exception of $96 of costs relating to a previous syndicated lender which did not participate in this amendment. These costs were expensed in other expenses, net during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

On June 9, 2022, we entered into the first amendment to the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility, which increased the maximum indebtedness incurred under an energy conservation project financing from $650,000 to $725,000 from and after April 1, 2022, to and including December 30, 2022.

June 2022 Term Shelf Notes

On July 27, 2021, we entered into a non-recourse debt agreement with a group of lenders. The financing facility consisted of senior secured first lien term notes due March 2046, floating rate senior secured second lien term notes due July 2030, and a shelf facility of up to $60,000 available until July 2024.

On June 28, 2022, two senior secured notes (“Shelf Notes”) due March 31, 2042 were issued under our shelf facility, with gross proceeds of $7,113. The Shelf Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.45% per annum and are payable quarterly commencing September 30, 2022.

At closing, we incurred $103 in lender fees and debt issuance costs. In connection with the Shelf Notes, we recorded a derivative instrument for make-whole provisions with an initial value of $1,088, which was recognized in debt discount. See Note 11 for additional information.

Non-recourse Construction Revolvers

Construction Revolver, Commencement Date June 2020

On April 29, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours executed a joinder agreement to the June 2020 construction revolver, which added it as an additional borrower under the master construction loan agreement. At closing, we borrowed $9,800 for a solar and storage project.

In June 2022, we entered into a fifth amendment to the June 2020 construction revolver to extend this facility from June 2022 to September 2022. All remaining unpaid amounts outstanding under the facility are due at that time. As of June 30, 2022, $28,807 is outstanding under the revolver and $71,193 was available for borrowing under this facility.

Construction Revolver, Commencement Date July 2020

As of June 30, 2022, $24,145 was available for borrowing under the July 2020 construction revolver. On July 15, 2022, we signed an extension of this instrument through September 15, 2022.

8. INCOME TAXES

We recorded a provision (benefit) for income taxes of $4,932 and $(1,896) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is a provision of 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a benefit of 11.9% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $7,239 and $309 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is 12.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 1.0% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2022 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2022, state taxes, and the tax deductions related to the Section 179D deduction.

The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2021 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar plants placed into service or are forecasted placed into service during 2021, the tax deductions related to the Section 179D deduction, the deduction of compensation expense associated with certain employee stock options, and tax basis adjustments on certain partnership flip transactions.

Under GAAP accounting rules deferred taxes are shown on a net basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on taxing jurisdiction. Under the guidance, we have recorded long term deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities based on the underlying jurisdiction in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table sets forth the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits:


	Gross Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	900



Balance, June 30, 2022	$	900

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods was $440 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (net of the federal benefit on state amounts).

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we issue letters of credit and performance bonds with our third-party lenders, to provide collateral.

Legal Proceedings

On November 6, 2017, we were served with a complaint filed by a customer against nine contractors, including us, claiming both physical damages to the customer’s tangible property and damages caused by various alleged defects in the design of the project through negligent acts and/or omissions, breaches of contract and breaches of the “implied warranty of good and workmanlike manner.” During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement and the net settlement was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, we reversed the loss recovery from insurance proceeds during this same period.

We are involved in a variety of other claims and other legal proceedings generally incidental to our normal business activities. While the outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Commitment as a Result of an Acquisition

In August 2018, we completed an acquisition which provided for a revenue earn-out contingent upon the acquired business meeting certain cumulative revenue targets over 5 years from the acquisition date. The fair value decreased from $678 at December 31, 2021 to $358 at June 30, 2022 and is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration will be paid annually in May, if any of the cumulative revenue targets are achieved. No payments have been made to date.

In December 2021, we completed our acquisition of Plug Smart which provided for an earn-out based on future EBITDA targets beginning with EBITDA performance for the month of December 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, over a five-year period through December 31, 2026. The maximum cumulative earn-out is $5,000 and we evaluated financial forecasts of the acquired business and concluded that the fair value of this earn-out was approximately $2,160 upon acquisition and remained consistent as of December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $1,866 and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. A payment of $275 was made during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

See Note 10 for additional information.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

We recognize our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands) (Unaudited) (Continued)

observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The following table presents the input level used to determine the fair values of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


		Fair Value as of
	Level	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Assets:
Interest rate swap instruments	2	$	3,197	$	919

Total assets		$	3,197	$	919
Liabilities:
Interest rate swap instruments	2	$	849	$	6,316

Make-whole provisions	2	5,940		4,800
Contingent consideration	3	2,224		2,838
Total liabilities		$	13,489	$	15,916

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liability classified as level 3:


	Fair Value as of
	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contingent consideration liability balance at the beginning of period	$	2,838	$	678
Contingent consideration issued in connection with acquisition	—		2,160
Changes in fair value included in earnings	(320)		—
Payment of contingent consideration	(275)		—
Remeasurement period adjustment	(19)		—
Contingent consideration liability balance at the end of period	$	2,224	$	2,838

The following table sets forth the fair value and the carrying value of our long-term debt, excluding financing leases:


	As of June 30, 2022				As of December 31, 2021
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Long-term debt (Level 2)	$	764,452	$	763,399	$	442,429	$	436,892

The fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flows analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements which are considered to be level two inputs. There have been no transfers in or out of level two or three financial instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

We are also required to periodically measure certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. We calculated the fair value used in our annual goodwill impairment analysis utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and determined that the inputs used were level 3 inputs. There were no assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

(1) The amounts in the above table are reflected in Note 1 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 13 for additional information on the call and put options related to our investment funds.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity owned by the other joint venture member of a consolidated joint venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the other joint venture member contributed $15,186 to this joint venture which was formed for a specific project. The joint venture did not generate any earnings or losses during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Equity Method Investments

Unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. For these unconsolidated joint ventures, our investment balances are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and our pro rata share of net income or loss is included in operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

We entered into one joint venture in late December 2021, therefore, the activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 was not material. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 include activity for this joint venture in the table below.

13. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Our subsidiaries with membership interests in the investment funds we formed have the right to elect to require the non-controlling interest holder to sell all of its membership units to our subsidiaries, a call option. Our investment funds also include rights for the non-controlling interest holder to elect to require our subsidiaries to purchase all of the non-controlling membership interests in the fund, a put option.

The call options are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The put options for the investment funds are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund.

We initially record our redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value on the date of acquisition and subsequently adjust to redemption value. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 redeemable non-controlling interests were reported at their carrying values, as the carrying value at each reporting period was greater than the estimated redemption value.

Stock Option Grants

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 1,563 common stock options to certain employees under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, which have a contractual life of ten years and vest over a five-year period. We did not grant awards to individuals who were not either an employee or director of ours during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

16. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our U.S. Regions, U.S. Federal and Canada segments offer energy efficiency products and services which include the design, engineering and installation of equipment and other measures to improve the efficiency and control the operation of a facility’s energy infrastructure, renewable energy solutions and services and the development and construction of small-scale plants that Ameresco owns or develops for customers that produce electricity, gas, heat or cooling from renewable sources of energy and O&M services.

Our Alternative Fuels segment sells electricity and processed renewable natural gas (“RNG”) derived from biomethane from small-scale plants that we own and operate, and provides O&M services for customer-owned small-scale RNG plants.

The “All Other” category includes enterprise energy management services, other than the U.S.-based portion; consulting services, energy efficiency products and services outside of the U.S. and Canada; and the sale of solar PV energy products and systems which we refer to as integrated-PV.

Overview

Ameresco is a leading clean technology integrator with a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy supply solutions. We help organizations meet energy savings and energy management challenges with an integrated comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Leveraging budget neutral solutions, including energy savings performance contracts (“ESPCs”) and power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), we aim to eliminate the financial barriers that traditionally hamper energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.

Drawing from decades of experience, Ameresco develops tailored energy management projects for its customers in the commercial, industrial, local, state, and federal government, K-12 education, higher education, healthcare, public housing sectors, and utilities.

We provide solutions primarily throughout North America and the U.K. and our revenues are derived principally from energy efficiency projects, which entail the design, engineering, and installation of equipment and other measures that incorporate a range of innovative technology and techniques to improve the efficiency and control the operation of a facility’s energy infrastructure; this can include designing and constructing a central plant or cogeneration system for a customer providing power, heat and/or cooling to a building, or other small-scale plant that produces electricity, gas, heat or cooling from renewable sources of energy. We also derive revenue from long-term O&M contracts, energy supply contracts for renewable energy operating assets that we own, integrated-PV, and consulting and enterprise energy management services.

In addition to organic growth, strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses and assets have been an important part of our growth enabling us to broaden our service offerings and expand our geographical reach. In December 2021, we completed the acquisition of Plug Smart, an Ohio-based energy services company that specializes in the development and implementation of budget neutral capital improvement projects including building controls and building automation systems. This acquisition allowed us to expand our existing pipeline and solution offerings in the smart buildings sector. The pro forma effects of this acquisition were not material to our operations for the fiscal quarters presented.

Key Factors and Trends

The Southern California Edison (“SCE”) Agreement

In October 2021, we entered into a contract with SCE to design and build three grid scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) at three sites near existing substation parcels throughout SCE’s service territory in California with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW. The engineering, procurement and construction price is approximately $892.0 million, in the aggregate, including two years of O&M revenues, subject to customary potential adjustments for changes in the work.

We are obligated under the SCE Agreement to achieve substantial completion of all facilities, subject to extension for specified force majeure events and customer-caused delays, no later than August 1, 2022 (the “Guaranteed Completion Date”). If we fail to meet the Guaranteed Completion Date at any of the facilities, other than as a result of specified force majeure events, we may be required to pay liquidated damages up to an aggregate maximum of $89 million, and under certain circumstances SCE may have a right to terminate the agreement. We have also provided availability and capacity guarantees under the SCE Agreement, failure of which entitles the customer to liquidated damages.

As previously disclosed at the end of March 2022, our battery supplier for the SCE battery storage project indicated that the COVID-19 lockdowns in several regions around China were having an adverse impact on the supplier’s ability to deliver batteries on the agreed upon timeline. In addition, the supplier indicated that newly implemented Chinese transportation safety policies may cause delays in the shipment of a portion of the batteries. Following a review of these circumstances, we provided SCE with a force majeure notice under the SCE Agreement as we, at the time of providing the notice, determined that these circumstances may prevent us from fully completing all three BESS projects by the August 1, 2022 Guaranteed Completion Date. Considering the impact of these delays with other supply chain and permitting challenges, we now expect 200 to 300 MW of capacity to be in service in September 2022 and we expect to achieve substantial completion for all the projects by the end of 2022. Under the SCE Agreement, the occurrence of force majeure events, including certain COVID-related delays, results in extensions of required completion deadlines without liquidated damages and an increase in the contract price, subject to the party claiming a force majeure event being in compliance with its contractual obligations. We are continuing discussions with SCE regarding the applicability and scope of any force majeure relief relating to these circumstances, and are also actively working with SCE, our suppliers, and governmental agencies to mitigate delays.

We expect a material portion of our revenue for 2022 to be generated from this SCE Agreement.

COVID-19, Supply Chain Disruptions, and Other Global Factors

We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our operations, financial results, and liquidity. The impact to our future operations and results, however, remains uncertain and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the emergence and spread of more transmissible variants, the overall duration and severity of the pandemic, and its impact on the global economy, our customers, and business and workforce disruptions. Infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic that may persist, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains, such as increased port congestion, and intermittent supplier delays as well as shortage of certain components needed for our business, such as lithium-ion battery cells for our energy storage products. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we experienced supply chain disruptions, including as a result of COVID-19 and macroeconomic conditions, causing delays in the timely delivery of material to customer sites and delays and disruptions in the completion of certain projects, including those pursuant to the SCE Agreement. This negatively impacted our results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. We expect the trends of supply challenges to continue for the remainder of this year. We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate to address the challenges presented from these conditions. For example, in April 2022, we entered into a binding framework agreement term sheet with a battery manufacturer for the purchase and sale of BESS equipment for our BESS projects at committed amounts and agreed upon delivery dates for a period of several years. The purchase and sale commitment covers BESS equipment to be used for our BESS projects and assets. In connection with entering into the term sheet, we paid a $10 million deposit which will be credited against our future equipment purchases.

In March 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it is investigating if certain solar cell and panel imports from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia are circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders. We do not expect that this investigation will have a material impact on our business in the near term, as we have a stockpile of solar panels from a large purchase several years ago. Furthermore, we believe that President Biden’s executive order issued in June 2022 further mitigates this risk. The order authorized the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to implement regulations to shield solar modules and cells imported from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia from any anti-dumping and countervailing duties for up to 24 months from the issuance of the order. In the longer term, the investigation and any resulting duties and tariffs imposed may

disrupt the solar panel supply chain, increase the cost for solar cells and panels and ultimately impact the demand for clean energy solutions. We are monitoring the investigation and any regulations issued by the U.S Secretary of Commerce closely.

Climate Change and Effects of Seasonality

The global emphasis on climate change and reducing carbon emissions has created opportunities for our industry. Sustainability has been at the forefront of our business since its inception, and we are committed to staying at the leading edge of innovation taking place in the energy sector. We believe the next decade will be marked by dramatic changes in the power infrastructure with resources shifting to more distributed assets, storage, and microgrids to increase overall reliability and resiliency. The sustainability efforts are impacted by regulations, and changes in the regulatory climate may impact the demand for our products and offerings. For example, we have taken advantage of Investment Tax Credits for certain of our projects. See “Our business depends in part on federal, state, provincial and local government support for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and a decline in such support could harm our business” in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Q1 2022 Form 10-Q and “Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect our operating results” in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Climate change also brings risks, as the impacts have caused us to experience more frequent and severe weather interferences, and this trend may continue. We are subject to seasonal fluctuations and construction cycles, particularly in climates that experience colder weather during the winter months, such as the northern United States and Canada, and climates that experience extreme weather events, such as wildfires, storms or flooding, or at educational institutions, where large projects are typically carried out during summer months when their facilities are unoccupied. In addition, government customers, many of which have fiscal years that do not coincide with ours, typically follow annual procurement cycles and appropriate funds on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Further, government contracting cycles can be affected by the timing of, and delays in, the legislative process related to government programs and incentives that help drive demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. As a result, our revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarter are typically higher, and our revenues and operating income in the first quarter are typically lower, than in other quarters of the year, however, this may become harder to predict with the potential effects of climate change. As a result of such fluctuations, we may occasionally experience declines in revenues or earnings as compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and comparisons of our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful.

Our annual and quarterly financial results are also subject to significant fluctuations as a result of other factors, many of which are outside our control.

Stock-based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 1,562,500 common stock options to certain employees under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result, our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense increased from $41.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $51.3 million at June 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years years. See Note 15 “Stock-based Compensation” for additional information.

Backlog and Awarded Projects

Backlog is an important metric for us because we believe strong order backlogs indicate growing demand and a healthy business over the medium to long term, conversely, a declining backlog could imply lower demand.

Table of Contents

The following table presents our backlog:


	As of June 30,
(In Thousands)	2022		2021
Project Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog	$	1,002,740	$	781,190
Awarded, not yet signed customer contracts	1,828,530		1,429,710
Total project backlog	$	2,831,270	$	2,210,900
12-month project backlog	$	756,700	$	606,490

O&M Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog	$	1,196,820	$	1,121,230
12-month O&M backlog	$	73,475	$	67,010

Our $892 million SCE Agreement was entered into in October 2021 and increased our fully-contracted backlog for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. We anticipate that the SCE Agreement will be an important driver of our results in 2022.

Total project backlog represents energy efficiency projects that are active within our sales cycle. Our sales cycle begins with the initial contact with the customer and ends, when successful, with a signed contract, also referred to as fully-contracted backlog. Our sales cycle recently has been averaging 18 to 42 months. Awarded backlog is created when a potential customer awards a project to Ameresco following a request for proposal. Once a project is awarded but not yet contracted, we typically conduct a detailed energy audit to determine the scope of the project as well as identify the savings that may be expected to be generated from upgrading the customer’s energy infrastructure. At this point, we also determine the subcontractors, what equipment will be used, and assist in arranging for third party financing, as applicable. Recently, awarded projects have been taking an average of 12 to 24 months to result in a signed contract and convert to fully-contracted backlog. It may take longer, as it depends on the size and complexity of the project. Historically, approximately 90% of our awarded backlog projects have resulted in a signed contract. After the customer and Ameresco agree to the terms of the contract and the contract is executed, the project moves to fully-contracted backlog. The contracts reflected in our fully-contracted backlog typically have a construction period of 12 to 36 months and we typically expect to recognize revenue for such contracts over the same period.

Our O&M backlog represents expected future revenues under signed multi-year customer contracts for the delivery of O&M services, primarily for energy efficiency and renewable energy construction projects completed by us for our customers.

We define our 12-month backlog as the estimated amount of revenues that we expect to recognize in the next twelve months from our fully-contracted backlog. See “We may not recognize all revenues from our backlog or receive all payments anticipated under awarded projects and customer contracts” and “In order to secure contracts for new projects, we typically face a long and variable selling cycle that requires significant resource commitments and requires a long lead time before we realize revenues” in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Assets in Development

Assets in development, which represents the potential design/build project value of small-scale renewable energy plants that have been awarded or for which we have secured development rights, were estimated at $1.4 billion, which includes $79.8 million attributable to a non-controlling interest at June 30, 2022, and $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021. The portion related to spending for Energy as a Service assets was approximately $60.0 million and $70.0 million at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is another important metric because it helps us gauge our future capacity to generate electricity or deliver renewable gas fuel which contributes to our recurring revenue stream.

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are due to the following:

•Revenues: total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased over 2021 primarily due to a $292.9 million, or 149%, increase in our project revenues attributed to the timing of revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year, including our SCE battery storage project, and a $6.0 million, or 16%, increase in our energy asset revenue attributed to the continued growth of our operating portfolio, strong renewable gas production, and higher pricing on renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) generated from certain alternative fuel generation assets in operation.

•Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to the increase in project revenues described above. Gross profit increased due to increased revenue, however, our gross profit as a percent of revenues decreased due to the higher revenue contribution from our lower margin SCE battery storage project.

•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased over 2021 primarily due to higher net salaries and benefits of $4.4 million as a result of increased headcount and an increase in non-cash stock compensation expense and higher insurance costs.

•Other Expenses, Net: Other expenses, net, includes gains and losses from derivatives transactions, foreign currency transactions, interest expense, interest income, amortization of financing costs and certain government incentives. Other expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased over 2021 primarily due to government incentive income of $2.0 million and a gain on derivatives of $1.1 million compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the prior year, partially offset by higher interest expenses of $3.3 million related to an increase in amounts outstanding on our senior secured debt facility.

•Income before Income Taxes: the increase in income before income taxes is due to reasons described above.

•Income Tax (Benefit) Provision: the provision for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal, state, provincial and local authorities and is affected by permanent and temporary differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. The effective tax rate was higher in 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to higher domestic income resulting in higher state taxes, lower levels of compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises, and less favorable tax adjustments related to partnership flip transactions.

•Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to common shareholders increased due to the reasons described above. Basic earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.62, an increase of $0.35 per share compared to the same period of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for 2022 was $0.61, an increase of $0.35 per share compared to last year. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflect a non-cash downward adjustment of $0.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to non-controlling interest activities.

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are due to the following:

•Revenues: total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased over 2021 primarily due to a $505.6 million, or 149%, increase in our project revenues attributed to the timing of revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year, including our SCE battery storage project.

•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased over 2021 primarily due to higher net salaries and benefits of $11.7 million as a result of increased headcount and an increase in non-cash stock compensation expense. The increase is also attributed to higher miscellaneous expenses related to a settlement of an outstanding legal proceeding and higher insurance costs.

•Other Expenses, Net: Other expenses, net, includes gains and losses from derivatives transactions, foreign currency transactions, interest expense, interest income, amortization of financing costs and certain government incentives. Other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased over 2021 primarily due to higher interest expenses of $5.0 million related to an increase in amounts outstanding on our senior secured debt facility. This was partially offset by government incentive income of $2.0 million.

•Income before Income Taxes: the increase in income before income taxes is due to reasons described above.

•Income Tax (Benefit) Provision: the provision for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal, state, provincial and local authorities and is affected by permanent and temporary differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. The effective tax rate was higher in 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to primarily due to higher domestic income resulting in higher state taxes, lower levels of compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises, and less favorable tax adjustments related to partnership flip transactions.

•Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to common shareholders increased due to the reasons described above. Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.96, an increase of $0.47 per share compared to the same period of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for 2022 was $0.93, an increase of $0.45 per share compared to last year. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflect a non-cash downward adjustment of $2.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to non-controlling interest activities.

•U.S. Regions: the increase is primarily due to an increase in project revenue attributable to the timing of revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects, including our SCE battery storage projects, versus the prior year.

•U.S. Federal: the change in revenue is primarily due to the timing of project revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects which were impacted by supply chain delays during the first quarter of 2022.

•Canada: the increase is primarily due to an increase in project revenues attributable to the timing of revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year.

•Alternative Fuels: the increase is primarily attributed to higher energy asset revenues resulting from the continued growth of our operating portfolio, increased renewable gas production levels and higher pricing on RINs generated from certain alternative fuel generation assets in operation.

•All Other: All other revenues increased over 2021 primarily due to higher project revenues as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year and an increase in integrated-PV revenue.

We do not allocate any indirect expenses to the segments. Corporate activity increased primarily due to higher net salaries and benefit costs, insurance costs, and interest expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since inception, we have funded operations primarily through cash flow from operations, advances from Federal ESPC projects, our senior secured credit facility, and various forms of other debt. In addition, in March 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 2,875,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, for total net proceeds of $120.1 million. See Note 7 “Debt and Financing Lease Liabilities” for additional information.

Working capital requirements, which can be susceptible to fluctuations during the year due to seasonal demands, generally result from revenue growth, our solar equipment purchase patterns, the timing of funding under various contracts, or advances from Federal ESPC projects, and payment terms for receivables and payables.

We expect to incur additional expenditures in connection with the following activities:

•equity investments, project asset acquisitions and business acquisitions that we may fund from time to time

•capital investment in current and future energy assets

•material, equipment, and other expenditures for our SCE battery storage project

We regularly monitor and assess our ability to meet funding requirements. We believe that cash and cash equivalents, working capital and availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility, combined with our right (subject to lender consent) to increase our revolving credit facility by $100.0 million, and our general access to credit and equity markets, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least August 2023 and thereafter. We funded a significant portion of the contract expenditures for our SCE battery storage project during the six months ended June 30, 2022. However, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate and that we can meet our capital requirements during these uncertain times. This may include limiting discretionary spending across the organization and re-prioritizing our capital projects amid times of political unrest, the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of supply challenges, and the rate and duration of the inflationary pressures. For example, recent increases in inflation and interest rates have impacted overall market returns on assets. We have therefore been particularly prudent in our capital commitments over the past couple of quarters, ensuring that our assets in development continue to align with our hurdle rates.

Sources of Liquidity

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On March 4, 2022, we entered into the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility, which increased the aggregate amount of total commitments from $245.0 million to $495.0 million. This amendment increased the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments from $180.0 million to $200.0 million, increased the existing term loan A to $75.0 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving commitment and term loan A from June 28, 2024 to March 4, 2025. In addition, it added a delayed draw term loan A for up to $220.0 million through a September 4, 2023 maturity date, increased the total funded debt to EBITDA covenant ratio from a maximum of 3.50 to 4.50 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022; 4.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, 4.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022; and 3.50 thereafter. The amendment also specified the debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 and increased our limit under an energy conversation project financing to $650.0 million, which provides us with flexibility to grow our federal business further. As of June 30, 2022, the balance on the senior secured term loans was $275.0 million, the balance on the senior secured revolving credit facility was $165.0 million, and we had funds available of $19.6 million.

On June 9, 2022, we entered into the first amendment to the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility, which increased the maximum indebtedness incurred under an energy conservation project financing from $650.0 million to $725.0 million from and after April 1, 2022 to and including December 30, 2022.

Project Financing - Non-recourse Revolvers, Loans and Financing Facilities

We have entered into a number of construction and term loan agreements for the purpose of constructing and owning certain renewable energy plants. While we are required under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to reflect these loans as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, they are generally non-recourse and not direct obligations of Ameresco, Inc.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received gross proceeds from these non-recourse financings of $32.9 million. At June 30, 2022, the balance outstanding on our non-recourse debt was $358.0 million and approximately $380.1 million remained available under these lending commitments, which expire at various dates from July 2022 through July 2024. Approximately $11.5 million of this lending commitment expired July 15, 2022. We expect to renew this commitment before the end of fiscal year 2022. See Notes 6. “Leases” and 7. “Debt and Financing Lease Liabilities” for additional details.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In Thousands)	2022		2021		$ Change
Cash flows from operating activities	$	(307,843)	$	(96,483)	$	(211,360)
Cash flows from investing activities	(132,287)		(105,751)		(26,536)
Cash flows from financing activities	465,674		196,924		268,750
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(1,291)		315		(1,606)
Total net cash flows	$	24,253	$	(4,995)	$	29,248

Our service offering also includes the development, construction, and operation of small-scale renewable energy plants. Small-scale renewable energy projects, or energy assets, can either be developed for the portfolio of assets that we own and operate or designed and built for customers. Expenditures related to projects that we own are recorded as cash outflows from investing activities. Expenditures related to projects that we build for customers are recorded as cash outflows from operating activities as cost of revenues.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities decreased from the same period last year primarily due to an increase of $349.7 million in unbilled revenue (costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings) due to the timing of when certain projects are invoiced, including our SCE battery storage project and a $59.6 million increase in accounts receivable, which were partially offset by increases of $149.7 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $21.9 million in net income when compared to the prior year period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 we made capital investments of $124.9 million in new energy assets and $4.8 million in major maintenance of energy assets, compared to $97.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in 2021.

We currently plan to invest approximately $90 million to $140 million in additional capital expenditures during the remainder of 2022, principally for the construction or acquisition of new renewable energy plants, the majority of which we expect to fund with project finance debt.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our primary sources of financing for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were net proceeds from long-term debt of $305.2 million, net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets of $126.4 million, and net proceeds from our senior secured revolver of $120.0 million, partially offset by payments on long-term debt of $101.0 million.

Our primary sources of financing for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were net proceeds from our equity offering of $120.1 million, net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets of $70.0 million, net proceeds from long-term debt financings of $64.9 million, partially offset by net payments from our senior secured credit facility of $28.1 million, and payments on long-term debt of $33.7 million.

We currently plan additional project financings of approximately $140 million to $190 million during the remainder of 2022 to fund the construction or the acquisition of new renewable energy plants as discussed above.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves us making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosures in the accompanying notes at the date of our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, industry and market

Table of Contents

trends, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, by their nature, estimates are subject to various assumptions and uncertainties, and changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ from these estimates, sometimes materially.

Income Taxes

We have reviewed all tax positions taken as of June 30, 2022 and there were no additional uncertain tax positions taken during the three months ended June 30, 2022. We believe our current tax reserves are adequate to cover all known tax uncertainties.

Other than as noted above, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2021 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for updates to critical accounting policies.

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2022, there have been no significant changes in market risk exposures that materially affected the quantitative and qualitative disclosures as described in Item 7A to our 2021 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, or the evaluation date. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the evaluation date, concluded that as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. In connection with this ERP implementation, we are updating and will continue to update our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. We do not believe this implementation has had or will have a material adverse effect on our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
