Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues of $273.7 million
  • Net income of $17.4 million and GAAP EPS of $0.33
  • Non-GAAP net income of $21.9 million, up 18% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.41, up 8%
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $40.2 million, up 9%

Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company has also furnished supplemental information in conjunction with this press release in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The supplemental information includes non-GAAP financial metrics and has been posted to the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at www.ameresco.com.

“Third quarter results demonstrated the strength and resiliency of our diversified business model, as a favorable business mix resulted in profit growth, despite supply chain disruptions and COVID-19 related delays in our Projects line of business. Our higher margin recurring Energy Asset revenue increased by nearly 30% as we continued to add new assets to our expanding operating portfolio. Together with our O&M business, these groups provide over two thirds of our Adjusted EBITDA along with over $2 billion in long term revenue visibility,” said George P. Sakellaris, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“A key takeaway from our third quarter performance was the acceleration of our business development activities, which we expect to support Ameresco’s continued growth in the periods ahead. Our awarded backlog at the end of the third quarter increased 11% sequentially and 31% compared to last year, and we experienced robust bidding activity across our entire platform of advanced technology solutions.

In late October, we announced a transformational contract to provide a 537.5 MW / 2.150 GWh multisite battery energy storage system (BESS) for Southern California Edison (SCE). This design/build project will deliver increased grid reliability to areas that have felt the impact of extreme weather in California. It represents the largest contract in Ameresco’s history and is emblematic of the complexity, scope and size of the opportunities that are emerging. It also highlights the demand for more comprehensive projects that utilize advanced clean energy technologies in which Ameresco has deep domain expertise. Past investments in bringing on leading advanced technology experts and our proven track record of executing on highly complex projects provide us with a distinct competitive advantage.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted.)

Total revenue was $273.7 million, compared to $282.5 million the previous year. Project revenue declined by 10% as approximately $30 million worth of Projects revenue was delayed due to supply chain constraints and COVID-19 related restrictions. We anticipate the COVID-19 and supply chain challenges to continue into 2022 and factored this into our updated guidance below. Conversely, Energy Asset revenue increased 29% reflecting the continued growth of our operating portfolio, increased performance of existing assets and strength in renewable identification numbers (RINs) realized prices. O&M revenue increased 12% as we continue to attach long-term O&M contracts to our project work. Gross margin of 21.5% increased sequentially and year-over-year as our revenue mix continued to shift towards the Company’s higher margin Energy Assets and O&M businesses. Operating income was $23.6 million and operating margin was 8.6%. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $17.4 million and GAAP EPS was $0.33. The GAAP results for 2021 reflect non-cash downward adjustments of $2.9 million related to non-controlling interest activities and $1.9 million related to an energy asset impairment charge. The GAAP results for 2020 reflect a non-cash upward adjustment of $2.3 million related to non-controlling interest activities and a non-cash downward adjustment of $1.0 million related to an energy asset impairment charge. Excluding these adjustments, 2021 Non-GAAP net income was $21.9 million compared to $18.5 million, an increase of 18%. Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, increased 9% to $40.2 million, and Non-GAAP EPS was $0.41 compared to $0.38.

Project Highlights

In the third quarter of 2021:

  • Ameresco was one of eight prime contract awardees selected by the Naval Facilities Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT) for a 5-year $950 million construction contract vehicle.
  • During the quarter Ameresco announced a number of Smart Water Metering projects including with the Texas cities of El Campo, Mesquite, Bellmead and Seabrook, highlighting the increased demand for advanced water infrastructure solutions.

Asset Highlights

In the third quarter of 2021:

  • Ameresco brought 4 MWe into operation while adding 35 MWe (gross) to our Assets in Development, bringing our total to 407 MWe.
  • The Company placed three Massachusetts based solar assets into operation.
  • We increased our Assets in Development by adding four new RNG plants and a battery storage asset to an operating solar plant.

Summary and Outlook

“Ameresco is exceptionally well positioned for continued growth in the periods ahead. Our strong year-to-date performance and recent contract wins reflect our ability to capture share of an increasingly expanding addressable market.

Given our strong year-to-date performance, our recently announced BESS contract and a lower than expected tax rate, we are pleased to be raising our FY 2021 Guidance Ranges as shown in the table below. This also reflects an increased investment in our people, new resources and growth strategies. The Company anticipates commissioning approximately 30 MW of additional energy assets and plans to invest approximately $70 million to $120 million in additional energy asset capital expenditures during the remainder of 2021, the majority of which will be funded with project finance debt.

The SCE contract will be an important driver of Ameresco’s 2022 financial results. We also believe it is transformational as it demonstrates the increasing need for climate friendly resiliency and grid reliability. We are looking forward to continued progress in this year’s fourth quarter and to a year of substantial revenue and profit growth in 2022,” Mr. Sakellaris noted.

Safe Harbor Statement

Any statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects for Ameresco, Inc., including statements about market conditions, pipeline and backlog, as well as estimated future revenues, net income, adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP EPS, other financial guidance and other statements containing the words “projects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements as a result of various important factors, including the timing of, and ability to, enter into contracts for awarded projects on the terms proposed; the timing of work we do on projects where we recognize revenue on a percentage of completion basis, including the ability to perform under recently signed contracts without unusual delay; demand for our energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions; our ability to arrange financing for our projects; changes in federal, state and local government policies and programs related to energy efficiency and renewable energy; the ability of customers to cancel or defer contracts included in our backlog; the effects of our recent acquisitions and restructuring activities; seasonality in construction and in demand for our products and services; a customer’s decision to delay or cancel our work on, or other risks involved with, a particular project; availability and cost of labor, including in response to vaccine mandates; availability and cost of equipment, as impacted by ongoing supply chain disruptions; the addition of new customers or the loss of existing customers; market price of the Company's stock prevailing from time to time; the nature of other investment opportunities presented to the Company from time to time; the Company's cash flows from operations; and other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 2, 2021 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 3, 2021. Currently, one of the most significant factors, however, is the potential adverse effect of the current COVID-19 (and its variants) pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us, suppliers, customers, employees and supply chains will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in our Annual Report as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

(1) Although net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, this table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to operating income because we are not able to calculate forward-looking net income without unreasonable efforts due to significant uncertainties with respect to the impact of accounting for our redeemable non-controlling interests and taxes.

Exhibit A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the Non-GAAP financial measures defined and discussed below to provide investors and others with useful supplemental information to our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Financial Guidance in the tables above.

We understand that, although measures similar to these Non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, they have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or an analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage investors to review our GAAP financial statements included above, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define adjusted EBITDA as operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, accretion of asset retirement obligations, contingent consideration expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and asset impairment charges. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons: adjusted EBITDA and similar Non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon financing and accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the methods by which assets were acquired; securities analysts often use adjusted EBITDA and similar Non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies; and by comparing our adjusted EBITDA in different historical periods, investors can evaluate our operating results without the additional variations of depreciation and amortization expense, accretion of asset retirement obligations, contingent consideration expense, stock-based compensation expense, impact from redeemable non-controlling interests, restructuring and asset impairment charges. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA stated as a percentage of revenue.

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of operating performance, because they do not include the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance; for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and in communications with the board of directors and investors concerning our financial performance.

Non-GAAP Net Income and EPS

We define Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share (EPS) to exclude certain discrete items that management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations, including restructuring and asset impairment charges and impact from redeemable non-controlling interest. We consider Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP EPS to be important indicators of our operational strength and performance of our business because they eliminate the effects of events that are not part of the Company's core operations.

Adjusted Cash from Operations

We define adjusted cash from operations as cash flows from operating activities plus proceeds from Federal ESPC projects. Cash received in payment of Federal ESPC projects is treated as a financing cash flow under GAAP due to the unusual financing structure for these projects. These cash flows, however, correspond to the revenue generated by these projects. Thus we believe that adjusting operating cash flow to include the cash generated by our Federal ESPC projects provides investors with a useful measure for evaluating the cash generating ability of our core operating business. Our management uses adjusted cash from operations as a measure of liquidity because it captures all sources of cash associated with our revenue generated by operations.
