(In thousands) (Unaudited)


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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2022 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, 2022, included in our annual report on Form 10-K (“2022 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Global factors have continued to result in global supply chain disruptions, certain governmental travel and other restrictions, and inflationary pressures.
We have considered the impact of general global economic conditions 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 including supply chain disruptions, varying levels of inflation, payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, workforce disruptions, and uncertain demand. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which macroeconomic conditions may impact our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations in the foreseeable future. The ultimate impact of the pandemic and general global economic conditions on our business 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.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2022 Form 10-K. We have included certain updates to those policies below.

Accounts Receivable Factoring
Ameresco’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Italy entered into factoring agreements to sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing and result in a reduction in accounts receivable because the agreements transfer effective control over the receivables, and related risk, to the buyers. Our Italian subsidiary does not retain any interest in the underlying accounts receivable once sold. Trade accounts receivables balances sold are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and

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, as amended by ASU 2021-01 in January 2021, directly addressing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting as a results of the cessation of the publication of certain London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) rates beginning December 31, 2021, with complete elimination of the publication of the LIBOR rates by June 30, 2023. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform by virtue of referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This guidance became effective on March 12, 2020, and then amended by ASU 2022-06 in December 2022, extending the adoption date to no later than December 31, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2023 upon entering amendments to credit agreements which introduced the secured overnight financing rate as administrated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to replace LIBOR as the benchmark. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material 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 adopted this accounting standard as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have an impact 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.
Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, which defines consistent accounting for equity investments for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. ASU 2023-02 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.

(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 decrease in contract assets for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to billings of $436,030 offset by revenue recognized of $413,181. Contract assets are also affected by 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. The advance payments and reclassifications exceeded the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized revenue of $73,585 and billed $80,774 to customers that had balances which were included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2022.
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.

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.
Performance Obligations
Our remaining performance obligations (“backlog”) represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. At June 30, 2023, we had contracted backlog of $2,328,660 of which approximately 36% is anticipated to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months. The remaining performance obligations primarily relate to the energy efficiency and renewable energy construction projects, including long-term operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services related to these projects. The long-term services have varying initial contract terms, up to 25 years.
Project Development Costs
Project development costs of $3,605 and $1,771 were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income on projects that converted to customer contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Project development costs of $6,217 and $5,980 were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income on projects that converted to customer contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
No impairment charges in connection with our project development costs were recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price for each acquisition is allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, which is calculated using level 3 inputs per the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 11, is recorded as goodwill. Intangible assets, if identified, are also recorded. See Note 5 for additional information.
On February 24, 2023, we signed a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire Enerqos Energy Solutions S.r.l. (“Enerqos”), a renewable energy and energy efficiency company headquartered in Milan, Italy. The acquisition closed on March 30, 2023 and the total purchase consideration was $13,445, of which $9,535 has been paid. There is no contingent consideration related to this acquisition. Cash acquired was $353, debt assumed was $3,951, and a deferred tax liability, net of $931 was recorded. The transaction costs, pro-forma effects of this acquisition on our operations, and contribution to revenue and net income the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were not material.
The estimated goodwill of $6,855 from the Enerqos acquisition consists largely of expected benefits, including the combined entities experience and the acquired workforce. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management's estimates and assumptions that are preliminary and subject to adjustments. Any measurement period adjustments made within one year from acquisition date, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments made beyond the measurement period will be included in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
The results of the acquisition since the date of the acquisition have been included in our operations as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We did not complete any acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022.

In connection with the Shelf Notes, we recorded a derivative instrument for make-whole provisions with an initial value of $3,123, which was recorded as a debt discount.
Non-recourse Variable Rate Term Loan, 6.38%, due March 28, 2028
On March 30, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated financing agreement (“Amended Agreement”) with the existing bank that extended the maturity date of the loan from March 30, 2023 to March 28, 2028. The Amended Agreement consists of a term loan of $14,084, an incremental term loan of $359 and a letter of credit of $899. The term loan bears interest at a variable rate, with interest payments due in quarterly installments. The rate at March 31, 2023 was 6.38% per annum. The remaining principal balance and unpaid interest is due March 28, 2028. As a result of this refinancing, we entered into a new interest rate swap contract with an initial notional amount of $14,084 and termination date of December 31, 2040. See Note 12 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information on this new swap contract.
Non-recourse Fixed Rate Note, 6.38%, due May 2038 (formerly 6.50%, due October 2037)
On March 31, 2023, we drew down $30,000 under this facility and on May 31, 2023, we entered into the first amendment to the loan agreement that increased the original commitment of $125,000 by an additional $90,000 to $215,000 and at closing we drew down the $90,000. As of June 30, 2023, $204,891 was outstanding under this facility, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

The first amendment also contained the following amended terms:
The loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment at an interest rate of 6.38% per annum compared to the original rate of 6.50%.
The loan maturity date was changed from October 26, 2037 to May 31, 2038

Non-recourse Construction Credit Facility, 2.00%
On March 31, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement for a construction facility with a total commitment of CAD$100,000 which has an availability period of five years. As of June 30, 2023, no funds were drawn under this facility. During the availability period the loans will bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.00% and during the operating period the rate will range from 1.00% to 3.00% as set forth in the agreement. The maturity date is the earlier of twenty years from project commencement date or one year prior to the termination date of the last remaining energy services agreements.
Non-recourse Construction Credit Facility, 6.54%, due July 31, 2024
On April 18, 2023, one of our consolidated joint venture subsidiaries (“JV”) entered into a construction loan agreement with two lenders for a principal amount of up to $140,844 under a non-recourse credit facility. At the closing, the JV drew down $90,921 for construction of an energy asset and drew down an additional $15,113 in May and June 2023.
Monthly payments of interest only on the loan will be due and payable in accordance with the provisions as set forth in the agreement. Any outstanding principal of the loan shall be paid in full no later than the maturity date (or in any event upon acceleration of the loan), together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such amount. The loan will be repaid after the energy asset project achieves provisional acceptance, through a sale-leaseback financing under lease agreements to be entered into between the same parties, the form of which were included in the closing documents.
9. INCOME TAXES
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $5 and $4,932 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is an expense of 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an expense of 13.0% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $498 and provision of $7,239 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is a benefit of 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an expense of 12.2% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2023 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar and storage plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2023, stock plan compensation deductions and deductions related to the Section 179D.
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, 2022$900 
Balance, June 30, 2023$900 
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future periods was $450 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (net of the federal benefit on state amounts).

10. 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
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.
Commitments as a Result of Acquisitions
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 4 years from the acquisition date. The fair value remained consistent at $358 at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022 it was included in other liabilities and at June 30, 2023 it was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration will be paid no later than May 2024. 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 $3,800 upon acquisition and as of December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration decreased to $915 and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease is due to payments of $3,040 made during the six months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by a $155 increase in fair value.
See Note 11 for additional information.
11. 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 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.

Long-term debt (Level 2) $1,089,390 $1,102,130 $869,771 $884,054 
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, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.
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, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, for six interest rate swap contracts with the transition from LIBOR to SOFR as the reference rate. In March 2023, we dedesignated one interest rate swap contract for a previous loan facility and entered into a new interest rate swap contract to hedge $14,084 of the extended loan facility. The new interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. In June 2023, we prepaid one loan facility and terminated the related swap prior to its maturity date.

14. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.

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, the U.K., and Europe 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. During 2022, we entered into joint venture arrangements in Greece and California and acquired an operating wind farm in Ireland. On March 30, 2023, we closed on the acquisition of Enerqos Energy Solutions S.r.l., a renewable energy and energy efficiency company headquartered in Milan, Italy. With this acquisition, we expect to expand our portfolio of clean energy projects and solutions throughout Italy. The pro forma effects of this acquisition were not material to our operations for the fiscal periods presented.

Key Factors and Trends
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”)
The IRA was signed into law by President Biden on August 16, 2022. The bill invests nearly $369 billion in energy and climate policies. The provisions of the IRA are intended to, among other things, incentivize domestic clean energy investment, manufacturing, and deployment. The IRA incentivizes the deployment of clean energy technologies by extending and expanding federal incentives such as the ITC and the Production Tax Credit (“PTC”). We view the enactment of the IRA as favorable for the overall business climate for the renewable energy industry, however, we are seeing an increase in engagement as customers assess and prioritize their projects to optimize the potential benefits of the IRA. The IRA may increase the competition in our industry and as such increase the demand and cost for labor, equipment and commodities needed for our projects.
Supply Chain Disruptions and Other Global Factors
We continue to monitor the impact of global economic conditions on our operations, financial results, and liquidity, including the result of supply chain challenges, war in Ukraine, evolving relations between the U.S. and China, and other geopolitical tensions. The impact to our future operations and results of operations as a result of these global trends remains uncertain and the challenges we face, 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, semiconductors, electrical transformers and other components required for our clean energy solutions may continue or become more pronounced.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we were impacted by supply chain disruptions and varying levels of inflation, causing delays in the timely delivery of material to customer sites and delays and disruptions in the completion of certain projects, and increased shipping and transportation costs, as well as increased component and labor costs. This negatively impacted our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect the trends of supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures to continue beyond 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.
As previously disclosed, in December 2022, as a result of an investigation initiated in April 2022, the U.S Department of Commerce determined that certain imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules manufactured in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, or Malaysia using components from China were circumventing existing Chinese tariffs. While President Biden issued an executive action under which additional duties would not be imposed on imports by U.S importers between June 2022 and June 2024, legislation has been introduced seeking to overturn President Biden’s executive action. While we do not believe this investigation will have a material impact on our business in the near term, any resulting duties or other trade restrictions 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 closely monitoring the investigation and any regulations issued in connection with it.
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. See “Our business depends in part on federal, state, provincial and local government support or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties, or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and a decline in such support could harm our business” and “Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect our operating results” in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2022 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 is expected to 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, hurricanes, 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
29

Table of Contents

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. See “Our business is affected by seasonal trends and construction cycles, and these trends and cycles could have an adverse effect on our operating results” in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2022 Form 10-K.
The Southern California Edison (“SCE”) Agreement
As discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K, in October 2021, we entered into an agreement with SCE to design and build three grid scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) throughout SCE’s service territory in California with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW (“SCE Agreement”). As previously disclosed, our ability to complete these systems by the guaranteed completion date of August 1, 2022 was impacted by supply delays related to COVID-19 lockdowns and changes in Chinese transportation safety policies as well as from unprecedented weather events. As a result of these events, we made certain force majeure claims under the SCE Agreement. SCE also instructed us to adjust the project schedules into 2023. We are continuing to work with SCE to evaluate our force majeure claims and costs related to the schedule changes. If we cannot reach agreement with SCE about the applicability of force majeure relief, we may be required to pay liquidated damages up to an aggregate maximum of $89 million and may not be able to recover costs associated with schedule changes.
Despite the delays, two of the three SCE projects are currently in the commissioning stage and are expected to reach substantial completion during the third quarter of 2023. The third project, which was significantly impacted by the heavy rainfall in California, is expected to reach substantial completion in the fourth quarter of 2023.
A majority of our revenues under this contract were recognized in 2022 based upon costs incurred in 2022 relative to total expected costs on this project.
Stock-based Compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we granted 100,000 common stock options 66,247 RSUs to certain employees and directors under our 2020 Plan. Our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $43.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $46.7 million at December 31, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years. See Note 16 “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.
The following table presents our backlog:
As of June 30,
(In Thousands)20232022
Project Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog$1,090,010 $1,002,740 
Awarded, not yet signed customer contracts2,145,550 1,828,530 
Total project backlog$3,235,560 $2,831,270 
12-month project backlog$744,970 $756,700 
O&M Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog$1,238,650 $1,196,820 
12-month O&M backlog$84,425 $73,475 
Our total project backlog increased at June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 due to an increase in awarded projects.
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 averages 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. It takes an average of 12 to 24 months to convert our awarded backlog 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 2022 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 $1.8 billion, which includes $79.8 million attributable to a non-controlling interest at June 30, 2023, and $1.4 billion at June 30, 2022. The portion of assets in development related to spending for Energy as a Service assets was approximately $41.2 million and $60.0 million at June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 are due to the following:
Revenues: total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased over 2022 primarily due to a $260.2 million, or 53%, decrease 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.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the decrease in cost of revenues and gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in project revenues described above. However, our gross profit as a percent of revenues increased due to lower 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, 2023 increased over 2022 primarily due to higher professional fees, project development costs not realized on projects and amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets.
Other Expenses, Net: Other expenses, net, includes gains and losses from derivatives transactions, foreign currency transactions, interest expense, interest income, accounts receivable factoring, amortization of financing costs and certain government incentives. Other expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased over 2022 primarily due to higher interest expenses, net of $0.7 million related to an increase in the amount of non-recourse project financing outstanding, higher interest rates, higher accounts receivable factoring related costs, and lower government incentive income.
Income before Income Taxes: the decrease in income before income taxes is due to reasons described above.
Income Tax 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. We expect the effective tax rate will be lower in 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the effects of additional investment tax credits which we are entitled to from solar and storage plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2023, higher level of compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises, and higher Section 179D deductions available in 2023 under the IRA.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased due to the reasons described above. Basic earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.12, a decrease of $0.50 per

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are due to the following:
Revenues: total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased over 2022 primarily due to a $470.4 million, or 53%, decrease 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.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the decrease in cost of revenues is primarily due to the decrease in project revenues described above. Gross profit decreased due to decreased revenue, however, our gross profit as a percent of revenues increased due to the lower revenue contribution from our lower margin SCE battery storage project.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased over 2022 primarily due to higher professional fees, project development costs not realized on projects, and IT and telecommunications costs. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included higher miscellaneous expenses related to a settlement of an outstanding legal proceeding.
Other Expenses, Net: Other expenses, net, includes gains and losses from derivatives transactions, foreign currency transactions, interest expense, interest income, accounts receivable factoring, amortization of financing costs and certain government incentives. Other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased over 2022 primarily due to higher interest expenses, net of $3.4 million related to an increase in the amount of non-recourse project financing outstanding and higher interest rates, higher accounts receivable factoring related costs and lower government incentive income.
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 lower in 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the effects of additional investment tax credits which we are entitled to from solar and storage plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2023, higher level of compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises, and higher Section 179D deductions available in 2023 under the IRA.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased due to the reasons described above. Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.14, a decrease of $0.82 per share compared to the same period of 2022. Diluted earnings per share for 2023 was $0.14, a decrease of $0.79 per share compared to last year. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 reflect a non-cash downward adjustment of $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to non-controlling interest activities.

Unallocated corporate activity includes all corporate level selling, general and administrative expenses and other expenses not allocated to the segments. We do not allocate any indirect expenses to the segments. Corporate activity increased primarily due to higher net salaries and benefit 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, various forms of other debt and equity offerings. See Note 8 “Debt and Financing Lease Liabilities” for additional information.
Working capital requirements can be susceptible to fluctuations during the year due to timing differences between costs incurred, the timing of milestone-based customer invoices and actual cash collections. Working capital may also be affected by seasonality, growth rate of revenue, long lead-time equipment purchase patterns, advances from Federal ESPC projects, and payment terms for payables relative to customer receivables.
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 large projects
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 July 2024 and thereafter. With the schedule adjustment requested by SCE and the anticipated timeline for completing the SCE battery storage projects primarily due to the previously disclosed weather-related issues, we have requested an extension to mid December 2023 to the maturity date for the $220 million delayed draw term loan A under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is scheduled to mature on September 4, 2023.
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 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 few quarters, ensuring that our assets in development continue to align with our hurdle rates.
Senior Secured Credit Facility — Revolver and Term Loans
On March 17, 2023, we entered into a second amendment to our fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility, which increased the total funded debt to EBITDA covenant ratio from a maximum of 3.50 to 4.00 for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and 3.50 thereafter. As of June 30, 2023, the balance on the senior secured term loans was $295.0 million, the balance on the senior secured revolving credit facility was $102.9 million, and we had funds available of $20.7 million.
Project Financing
Non-recourse Construction Revolvers and Term Loans
We have entered into a number of construction and term loan agreements for the purpose of constructing and owning certain renewable energy plants. The physical assets and the operating agreements related to the renewable energy plants are generally owned by wholly owned, single member “special purpose” subsidiaries of Ameresco. These construction and term loans are structured as project financings made directly to a subsidiary, and upon commercial operation and achieving certain milestones in the credit agreement, the related construction loan converts into a term loan. While we are required under GAAP to reflect these loans as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, they are generally non-recourse and not direct obligations of Ameresco, Inc.

We entered into a credit agreement for a construction facility with a total commitment of CAD$100.0 million and as of June 30, 2023, no funds were drawn under this facility.
Net proceeds from non-recourse construction revolvers and term loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023 totaled $53.7 million.
On May 31, 2023, we entered into the first amendment to a loan agreement that increased the original commitment of $125,000 by $90.0 million to $215.0 million and at closing we drew down the $90.0 million.
On April 18, 2023, one of our consolidated joint venture subsidiaries (“JV”) entered into a construction loan agreement with two lenders for a principal amount of up to $140.8 million under a non-recourse credit facility. At the closing, the JV drew down $90.9 million for construction of an energy asset and drew down an additional $15.1 million in May and June 2023. Monthly payments of interest only on the loan will be due and payable in accordance with the provisions as set forth in the agreement. Any outstanding principal of the loan and unpaid interest shall be paid in full no later than the maturity date, July 2024. The loan will be repaid after the energy asset project achieves provisional acceptance, through a sale-leaseback financing under lease agreements to be entered into between the same parties, the form of which were included in the closing documents.
Non-recourse Sale-leasebacks
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold and leased back seven energy assets for $89.6 million in cash proceeds under our master sale-leaseback agreements.
Federal ESPC Liabilities
We have arrangements with certain third-parties to provide advances to us during the construction or installation of projects for certain customers, typically federal governmental entities, in exchange for our assignment to the lenders of our rights to the long-term receivables arising from the ESPCs related to such projects. These financings totaled $464.6 million as of June 30, 2023. Under the terms of these financing arrangements, we are required to complete the construction or installation of the project in accordance with the contract with our customer, and the liability remains on our condensed consolidated balance sheets until the completed project is accepted by the customer.
We are the primary obligor for financing received, but only until final acceptance of the work by the customer. At this point recourse to us ceases and the ESPC receivables are transferred to the investor. The transfers of receivables under these agreements do not qualify for sales accounting until final customer acceptance of the work, so the advances from the investors are not classified as operating cash flows. Cash draws that we received under these ESPC agreements were $76.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and are recorded as financing cash inflows. The use of the cash received under these arrangements is to pay project costs classified as operating cash flows and totaled $88.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Due to the manner in which the ESPC contracts with the third-party investors are structured, our reported operating cash flows are materially impacted by the fact that operating cash flows only reflect the ESPC contract expenditure outflows and do not reflect any inflows from the corresponding contract revenues. Upon acceptance of the project by the federal customer the ESPC receivable and corresponding ESPC liability are removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a non-cash settlement.

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 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 improved over the same period last year primarily due to a decrease of $374.3 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 $104.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, which were partially offset by decreases of $42.2 million in net income and $207.3 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities when compared to the prior year period.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we made capital investments of $261.5 million in new energy assets and $5.8 million in major maintenance of energy assets compared to $124.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in 2022. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 we paid $9.2 million, net of cash received, for the acquisition of Enerqos.
We currently plan to invest approximately $150 million to $200 million in additional capital expenditures during the remainder of 2023, 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, 2023 were net proceeds from long-term debt of $338.8 million, net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy asset receivable financing arrangements of $84.8 million, partially offset by payments on our senior secured credit facility of $80.0 million and payments on long-term debt of $61.3 million.
Our primary sources of financing for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were net proceeds from long-term debt financings of $305.2 million, net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets of $126.4 million, and proceeds from our senior secured credit facility of $120.0 million, partially offset by payments on long-term debt of $101.0 million.
We currently plan additional project financings of approximately $250 million to $300 million during the remainder of 2023 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 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, 2023 and there were no additional uncertain tax positions taken during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 2022 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for updates to critical accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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, 2023, 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 2022 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 year ended December 31, 2022, we implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. In connection with this ERP implementation, we updated 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations, and claims. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of such lawsuits, investigations and claims against us, we do not believe that any currently pending or threatened legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
For additional information about certain proceedings, please refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks, a number of which are described below and under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K.
You should carefully consider these risks together with the other information set forth in this report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.

Item 5. Other Information
Director and Officer Trading Arrangements
A portion of the compensation of our directors and officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act is in the form of equity awards and, from time to time, directors and officers engage in open-market transactions with respect to the securities acquired pursuant to such equity awards or other shares of Class A common stock held by such individuals. Transactions in our securities by directors and officers are required to be made in accordance with our insider trading policy, which requires that the transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables directors and officers to prearrange transactions in a company’s securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information.
The following table describes contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of Company securities adopted by our directors and officers during the quarterly period covered by this report/fourth quarter of 2023 that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) (a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”):
