NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, ~~2020~~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, ~~2020,~~2021, included in our annual report on Form 10-K (“~~2020~~2021 Annual Report” or ~~“2020~~“2021 Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~2, 2021.~~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 the resurgence of COVID-19 and its variants has caused some governments to extend travel and other restrictions. On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for Federal employees. As a result, we are in the process of implementing this mandate for our employees and subcontractors who work in our Federal business segment.

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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. We have included certain updates to those policies below.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

~~Income Taxes~~

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current

~~(In thousands) (Unaudited) (Continued)~~

guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however, the guidance will only be available until 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.

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.

~~Codification Improvements~~Government Assistance

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU represent changes to clarify the ASC, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. ASU 2020-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Business Combinations~~

~~In October~~November 2021, the FASB issued ASU ~~2021-08,~~2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business ~~Combinations (Topic 805):~~Entities about Government Assistance, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires ~~entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination.~~annual disclosures about certain types of government assistance received. ASU ~~2021-08~~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 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 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.

3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Disaggregation of Revenue

Our reportable segments for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 were U.S. Regions, U.S. Federal, Canada, ~~and~~ Non-Solar Distributed Generation (“Non-Solar DG”). and All Other. On January 1, ~~2021,~~2022, we changed the structure of our internal organization and our ~~U.S. Regions~~“All Other” segment now includes our U.S.-based enterprise energy management services previously included in our ~~“All Other”~~U.S Regions segment and our U.S. Regions segment now includes U.S. project revenue and associated costs previously included in our Non-Solar DG segment. As a result, previously reported amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by line of business and reportable segment for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021:~~March 31, 2022:

The increase in contract assets for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was primarily due to revenue recognized of ~~$414,049~~$381,949 offset by billings of ~~$422,565.~~$229,540. Contract assets also increased due to reclassifications, primarily 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 ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we recognized revenue of ~~$161,037~~$33,077 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities and billed customers ~~$123,891.~~$23,723. Changes in contract liabilities are also driven by reclassifications to or from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments.

The decrease in contract assets for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was primarily due to billings of approximately ~~$464,712,~~$144,539, partially offset by revenue recognized of ~~$434,709.~~$130,297. The ~~increase~~decrease in contract liabilities was primarily driven by the receipt of advance payment from customers, and related billings, exceeding reductions from the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of ~~$85,356~~$45,483 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities and billed customers ~~$86,203.~~$33,081. Changes in contract liabilities are also driven by reclassifications to or from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments.

Performance Obligations

Our remaining performance obligations (“backlog”) represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had contracted backlog of ~~$1,893,740~~$2,553,770 of which approximately ~~33%~~48% 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

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there was a triggering event which caused us to perform an impairment analysis on an energy asset group within the Non-solar DG segment. This triggering event was related to a decision by the applicable state environmental agency to discontinue an environmental permit. This action materially modified the obligation of the landfill owner to continue maintaining the wellfield, therefore, we plan to decommission the impacted landfill gas plant. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $1,901, which fully impaired this asset group. The impairment charge is included in

Construction Revolvers

Construction Revolver, 1.74%, due June 2022

In March 2022, we entered into a fourth amendment to the 1.74% construction revolver to extend this facility from ~~May 2021~~March 2022 to ~~March~~June 2022. All remaining unpaid amounts outstanding under the facility are due at that time.

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we closed on $14,013 in funding for 4 additional projects under this facility and drew down an additional $6,132 for existing projects. The balance~~ As of ~~this construction revolver as of September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, $73,946 was ~~$35,102, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and funds of $64,677 were~~ available for borrowing under this facility.

~~We also have funds~~On April 29, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours executed a joinder agreement to the 1.74% 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.

Construction Revolver, 1.99%, due July 2022

As of March 31, 2022, $24,145 was available for borrowing under ~~our July 2020~~the 1.74% construction revolver. In July 2021, 2 projects financed under this revolver failed to achieve commercial operations date (“COD”) on a timely basis; however, we received a limited waiver and an extension of COD for both projects from our lender, which cured the resulting event of default retroactively.

~~July 2021 Term Notes~~

On July 27, 2021, we entered into a $44,748 non-recourse debt agreement with a group of lenders. The financing facility consists of gross proceeds of $40,683 in senior secured first lien term notes due March 2046 (“Senior Notes”), gross proceeds of $4,065 in floating rate senior secured second lien term notes due March 2030 (“Second Lien Notes”), and a shelf facility of up to $60,000 available until July 2024. There were no notes issued under the shelf facility at September 30, 2021 and the lenders, in their sole discretion, have the right to approve or deny our funding requests.

The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum, are payable quarterly commencing September 30, 2021, and require that the project’s debt service coverage ratio for both the historical 12-month and projected 12-month periods at each payment date equal or exceed 1.2 to 1.0.

The Second Lien Notes bear a floating rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 3.50% from July 27, 2021 to July 26, 2025 and on July 27, 2025 the rate increases to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 3.75%. The Second Lien Notes are payable on each quarterly payment date commencing September 30, 2021, as specified in the debt agreement.

The agreement also requires us to maintain six months of scheduled payments of principal and interest as the minimum debt service reserve and to make additional principal prepayments based on project cash flows and certain other conditions through the earlier of maturity or when the principal balance is paid in full.

At closing, we incurred $957 in lender fees and debt issuance costs. In connection with the Senior Notes, we recorded a derivative instrument for make-whole provisions with an initial value of $5,164, which is included in debt discount. See Note 11 for additional information. The aggregate balance of the Senior Notes and Second Lien Notes as of September 30, 2021 was $37,411, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

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 9 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.” ~~A mediation was held in January 2021, at which time~~During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we made an offer to settle the case, in an amount which we believe would be covered by our insurance. The trial has been set for April 2022 and both parties are taking discovery. Although the customer rejected our offer, both parties have agreed to continue to negotiateentered into a settlement agreement and ~~we expect to re-engage in negotiation discussions as~~adjusted our accrual for the ~~trial date draws nearer. We believe that it is probable that a~~actual net loss ~~will be incurred and, therefore, have accrued a reasonable estimate of the loss,~~after taking into account our insurance proceeds, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~September 30, 2021 and December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2022. In addition, we ~~accrued a~~reversed the loss recovery from insurance ~~proceeds as we believe the receipt~~proceeds.

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 ~~was~~decreased from $678 ~~as of September 30, 2021 and~~at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to $358 at March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2,061 and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. No payments have been made to date.

See note 10 for additional information.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

We recognize our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring ~~basis (at least annually).~~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

~~Table of Contents~~

~~AMERESCO, INC.~~

~~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						Fair Value as of

Long-term debt (Level 2)	$	726,649	$	720,687	$	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 ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~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 ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

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 call option period for one of our investment funds began in March 2021. In September 2021 we finalized our purchase of the investor’s membership interest for $1,000 in cash and reclassified the remaining redeemable non-controlling interest balance to paid-in capital to reflect the additional contribution from us to our wholly-owned subsidiary.

~~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 ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~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.

~~14. EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE~~

~~Equity Offering~~

On March 9, 2021, we closed on an underwritten public offering of 2,500 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $44.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were $104,326, after deducting offering costs of $5,674. On March 15, 2021, we closed on the underwriters’ option to purchase 375 additional shares of Class A common stock from us, resulting in net proceeds of $15,758 after deducting offering costs of $742. We used $80,000 of the net proceeds to repay in full the outstanding U.S. dollar balance under our senior secured revolving credit facility.

In the offering, selling shareholders sold 805 shares our Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $44.00 per share, less the underwriting discount. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.

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, ~~and~~ public housing ~~sectors.~~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, ~~the sale of solar PV energy products and systems which we refer to as~~ 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 allows 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 years presented.

Key Factors and Trends

~~COVID-19 Update~~The Southern California Edison (“SCE”) Agreement

~~Fiscal year 2020 was marked~~In October 2021, we entered into a contract with ~~unrivaled global challenges,~~SCE to design and build three grid scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) at existing substation parcels throughout SCE’s service territory in California. 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 ~~public health~~work.

We are obligated under the SCE Agreement to achieve substantial completion of all facilities, subject to extension for specified force majeure events and ~~economic downturn caused~~customer-caused delays, no later than August 1, 2022 (the “Guaranteed Completion Date”). If we fail to achieve substantial completion of any of the facilities by the ~~COVID-19 pandemic. During~~Guaranteed Completion Date, as such date may be extended, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages. In addition, we provided availability and capacity guarantees under the SCE Agreement, failure of which entitles the customer to liquidated damages. We expect a material portion of our revenue for 2022 will be generated from this SCE Agreement, and a material portion of the contract expenditures under this agreement have been and are being incurred during the first half of ~~2020, after~~2022. If we fail to achieve the milestone dates or fail to meet the availability and capacity guarantees, we may be required to pay liquidated damages and under certain circumstances SCE may have a right to terminate the agreement.

As previously disclosed, at the end of March 2022, our battery supplier for the SCE battery storage project indicated that the COVID-19 ~~was declared~~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 ~~pandemic~~portion of the batteries. Following a review of these circumstances, we provided SCE with a force majeure notice under the SCE Agreement as we determined that these circumstances may prevent us from fully completing all three BESS projects by the ~~World Health Organization, we experienced some~~August 1, 2022 Guaranteed Completion Date. Under the SCE Agreement, the occurrence of force majeure events, including certain COVID-related delays, results in ~~our project award conversions~~extensions of required completion deadlines without liquidated damages and ~~some construction slowdowns due to shelter-in-place restrictions; however,~~an increase in the ~~opportunities to reduce emissions and limit the effects of climate change remained. We responded~~contract price, subject to the ~~pandemic by ensuring~~party claiming a force majeure event being in compliance with its contractual obligations. We are engaged in continuing discussions with SCE regarding the ~~health~~applicability and ~~safety~~scope of any force majeure relief relating to these circumstances, and are also actively working with SCE, our ~~employees. We implemented a seamless transition~~suppliers, and governmental agencies to ~~remote operations for many months,~~mitigate delays.

COVID-19, Supply Chain Disruptions, and ~~while following all CDC guidelines, continued front-line work at our essential facilities.~~

The resurgence of COVID-19 and its variants has caused some governments to extend travel and other restrictions. On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for Federal employees. As a result, we are in the process of implementing this mandate for our employees and subcontractors who work in our Federal business segment. The vaccine mandate could result in a potential loss of employees or subcontractors who have not been vaccinated. See Part II, Item 1A. RiskOther Global Factors in this Form 10-Q, for discussion of risks associated with the potential adverse effects on our workforce of the federal government vaccine mandate for employees, contractors, and subcontractors that service federal contracts and the OSHA requirement on our workforce.

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.

~~Supply Chain 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 months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we experienced supply chain disruptions, ~~resulting in~~including as a result of COVID-19, causing delays in the timely delivery of material to customer ~~sites.~~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 months ended ~~September 30, 2021 as our Project revenues decreased 10% from~~March 31, 2022. We expect the ~~same period last~~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 battery energy storage (“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 agreed to pay a $10 million deposit which will be credited against our future equipment purchases.

In March 2022, the US 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 ~~trend to continue into 2022.~~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. However, 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 closely.

Climate Change and Effects of Seasonality

The ~~Energy Act~~global emphasis on climate change and reducing carbon emissions has created opportunities for our industry. Sustainability has been at the forefront of ~~2020~~

~~On December 27, 2020,~~our business since its inception, and we are committed to staying at the ~~President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 into law, a legislative package that included the Energy Act~~leading edge of 2020, reauthorizing a number of U.S. Department of Energy programs, with a $2.3 trillion spending bill containing appropriations for fiscal year 2021, COVID-19 relief funds, and extensions of a number of expiring tax incentives important toinnovation taking place in the energy sector. ~~It includes $35 billion~~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 for energy ~~research~~efficiency and ~~development programs,~~renewable energy, and a two-year extension of the 26% Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) rate for solar power that will retain the current 26% credits for solar projects that begin construction through the end of 2022. The 26% rate for ITC for solar projects was set to expire at the end of 2020. The Energy Act of 2020 also made the Section 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Building Deduction permanent under the tax code.

~~The Coronavirus Aid, Relief,~~decline in such support could harm our business” and ~~Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)~~

~~On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net~~“Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect our operating ~~loss provisions, and provides a payment delay of employer payroll taxes during 2020 after the date of enactment. The payment of $4.5 million~~results” in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our ~~employer payroll taxes otherwise due in 2020 has been delayed with 50% due by December 31,~~ 2021 Annual Report.

Climate change also brings risks, as the impacts have caused us to experience more frequent and ~~the remaining 50% by December 31, 2022. The CARES Act permitted net operating losses from the 2018, 2019,~~severe weather interferences, and ~~2020 tax years to be carried back to the previous five tax years (beginning with the earliest year first).~~

~~Effects of Seasonality~~

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.~~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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 of our 2020 Annual Report.

Stock-based Compensation

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we granted ~~945,500~~312,500 common stock options to certain employees under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result, our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense increased from ~~$12.1~~$41.1 million at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ~~$27.8~~$46.3 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~3.0~~four 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.

The following table presents our backlog:


		As of September 30,					As of March 31,
(In Thousands)	(In Thousands)	2021		2020		(In Thousands)	2022		2021

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 ~~subcontractor,~~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 ~~becomes~~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 ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report.

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 ~~$1.2~~$1.3 billion and ~~$784.6~~$1.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The portion of that total related to spending for Energy as a Service assets was approximately $60.0 million and $70.0 million at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ 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 ~~September 30, 2021 were~~March 31, 2022 are due to the following:

•Revenues: total revenues for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 increased over 2021 ~~decreased over 2020~~ primarily due to a ~~$21.4~~$212.7 million, or ~~10%~~118%, ~~decrease~~increase in our project revenues primarily ~~due to construction delays~~ attributed to ~~COVID-related protocols and supply chain disruptions resulting in delays in~~ the ~~timely delivery~~timing of ~~materials to customer sites. This was partially offset by an $8.9~~revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year, including our SCE battery storage project, a $5.1 million, or ~~29%~~15%, 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 non-solar distributed generation assets in operation and a ~~$2.1~~$1.8 million increase in O&M revenue.

•Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the ~~decrease~~increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to the ~~decrease~~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 lower margin on our ~~revenue mix continued to shift towards our higher margin Energy Assets business.~~SCE battery storage project.

•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 increased over ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to higher net salaries and benefits of ~~$4.5~~$7.3 million as a result of increased headcount and ~~higher health insurance costs driven by~~ an increase in ~~employee claims.~~non-cash stock compensation expense. The increase is also ~~due~~attributed to higher ~~professional fees~~miscellaneous expenses related to a settlement of ~~$1.4 million and increased impairment charges of $0.9 million. SG&A in 2020 also included a recovery of a fully-reserved bad debt of $1.0 million.~~an outstanding legal proceeding.

•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 ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 increased over ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to ~~higher foreign currency transaction~~a loss on derivatives of ~~$0.6~~$1.6 million compared to a gain of $0.4 million in the prior year and higher interest ~~expense~~expenses of ~~$0.5~~$1.7 million ~~partially offset by increased government incentive income of $0.3 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 lower in ~~2021~~2022 as compared to ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to higher investments in solar projects eligible for the ~~ITC, higher availability of the Section 179D deduction on energy~~

~~improvements on government owned buildings, and higher compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises.~~

•~~Net Income and Earnings Per Share:~~ Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased as the results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 reflect a non-cash downward adjustment of $2.9 million and 2020 reflects a non-cash upward adjustment of $2.3 million related to non-controlling interest activities. Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.34, a decrease of $0.08 per share compared to the same period of 2020. Diluted earnings per share for 2021 was $0.33, a decrease of $0.08 per share compared to last year. The equity offering in March 2021 increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 2,875,000, which lowered basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.02 per share.

Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflect year-over-year growth in terms of revenues, operating income, and net income attributable to common shareholders due to the following:

•~~Revenues:~~ Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased over 2020 primarily due to a $51.2 million, or 10%, increase in our project revenue attributable to the timing of revenue recognized as a result of the phase of active projects versus the prior year and a $22.2 million, or 25%, increase in our energy asset revenue for the same reasons noted above.

•~~Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit:~~ the increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to the increase in project revenues described above. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased as our revenue mix continued to shift towards our higher margin Energy Assets business.

•~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:~~ SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased over 2020 primarily due higher net salaries and benefits of $10.0 million for the same reasons noted previously, higher professional fees of $1.9 million and higher impairment charges of $0.9 million. SG&A in 2020 also included recoveries of fully-reserved bad debts of $1.1 million.

•~~Other Expenses, Net:~~ Other expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased over 2020 primarily due to higher mark to market losses realized from derivatives of $0.9 million, higher foreign currency transaction losses of $0.7 million, and lower government incentive income of $0.5 million partially offset by lower interest expenses of $1.8 million.

•~~Income before Income Taxes:~~ ~~the increase is due to reasons described above.~~

•~~Income Tax Benefit:~~ ~~The effective~~investment tax ~~rate was lower in 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to higher investments in solar projects eligible for the ITC,~~credit, higher availability of the Section 179D deduction on energy improvements on government owned buildings, and higher compensation deductions related to employee stock option exercises.

•Net Income and Earnings Per Share: ~~For~~Net income attributable to common shareholders increased due to the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2021 basic~~reasons described above. Basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was ~~$0.83,~~$0.34, an increase of ~~$0.19~~$0.11 per share compared to ~~2020, and diluted~~the same period of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for 2022 was ~~$0.81, an increase~~$0.32, a decrease of ~~$0.19~~$0.10 per share compared to last year. The equity offering increased the weighted average shares outstanding by approximately 2,158,000, which lowered basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.04 per share. Earnings per share in the remaining quarter of this year will continue to be impacted because the weighted average shares outstanding in the year-to-date calculations will reflect a greater proportion of the 2,875,000 shares sold. The results for the nine months ended

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 ~~below,~~ Note 7 “Debt and Financing Lease Liabilities”~~, and Note 14 “Equity and Earnings per Share”~~ 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.

Table of Contents

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, particularly during the first half of 2022

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 ~~November 2022~~May 2023 and thereafter. We expect to fund significant working capital expenditures for our SCE battery storage project. 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

Sources of Liquidity

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On March 9, 2021, we closed on an underwritten public offering of 2,500,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $44.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were $104.3 million, after deducting offering costs. On March 15, 2021, we closed on the underwriters’ option to purchase 375,000 additional shares of Class A common stock from us, resulting in net proceeds of $15.8 million, after deducting offering costs. In the offering, selling shareholders sold 805,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $44.00 per share, less the underwriting discount. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. We used $80.0 million of the net proceeds to repay in full the outstanding U.S. dollar balance under our senior secured revolving credit facility. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including potential tack on acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures.

~~On June 22, 2021,~~4, 2022, we entered into ~~an amendment to our~~the fifth amended and restated senior secured ~~revolving~~ credit facility, ~~with three banks~~ 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 ~~commitment by the lenders under the credit facility~~commitments from ~~$115.0~~$180.0 million to ~~$180.0 million. The amendment also~~$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 ~~3.25~~3.50 to ~~3.50, and decreased~~4.50 for the ~~Eurocurrency rate floor from 1% to 0%. At~~quarter ended March 31, 2022; 4.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, 4.00 for the quarters ending September 30, ~~2021,~~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 March 31, 2022, the balance on the senior secured term loans was $275.0 million, the balance on the senior secured revolving credit facility was $121.0 million, and we had funds available of $47.3 million.

Project Financing

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. As of March 31, 2022, our construction and term loans outstanding were $237.2 million, and we had funds of ~~$151.2 million were available for borrowing under this facility.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a lender increased its commitment by the remaining $15.0 million available under a term loan and we received net proceeds of $14.8 million. The quarterly payments consist of $1.25 million in principal plus an additional principal prepayment based on project cash flows in addition to interest to be paid through the earlier of maturity, March 2026, or when the principal balance is paid in full. The balance of this term loan as of September 30, 2021 was $42.8 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we also closed on $14.0 million in funding for four additional projects under a construction revolver and drew an additional $6.1 million for existing projects. The balance of this construction revolver at September 30, 2021 was $35.1 million and funds of $64.7 million were available for borrowing under this facility. We also have funds of $24.1$98.1 million available for borrowing under ~~another~~two of these non-recourse construction ~~revolver. In July 2021, two projects financed~~revolvers.

On April 29, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours executed a joinder agreement to the 1.74% construction revolver, which added it as an additional borrower under ~~this revolver failed to achieve commercial operations date (“COD”) on~~the master construction loan agreement, and at closing, we borrowed $9.8 million for a ~~timely basis; however, we received a limited waiver~~solar and ~~an extension of COD for both projects from our lender, which cured the resulting event of default retroactively.~~storage project.

We also utilize long-term financing facilities, accounted for as failed sale ~~lease-backs,~~leasebacks, to finance our solar PV energy assets. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we sold and leased back ~~three~~ energy assets for ~~$31.1~~$12.6 million in cash under our ~~August 2018 facility~~two long-term financing facilities and at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, approximately ~~$280.6~~$231.9 million remained available under ~~this~~these lending ~~commitment. In July 2021, we entered into an amendment to our December 2020~~commitments. This long-term financing ~~facility which increased our maximum commitment from $4.5 million to $23.6 million~~facilities expire in June 30, 2022 and ~~extended the end date of the agreement to December 31, 2021.~~

In July 2021, we entered into $44.7 million non-recourse debt agreement with a group of lenders. The financing facility consists of gross proceeds of $40.7 million in 25-year 3.25% senior secured first lien fixed rate term notes (“Senior Notes”), gross proceeds of $4.1 million in 9-year floating rate senior secured second lien term notes, and a shelf facility of up to $60.0 million available until July 2024. There were no notes issued under the shelf facility as of September 30, 2021 and the lenders, in their sole discretion, have the right to approve or deny our funding requests.

We are required to make quarterly principal and interest payments as specified in the agreements. The Senior Notes require that the project’s debt service coverage ratio for both the historical 12-month and projected 12-month periods at the payment date equal or exceed 1.2 to 1.0. The agreement also requires us to maintain six months of scheduled payments of principal and interest as the minimum debt service reserve and to make additional principal prepayments based on project cash flows and certain other conditions through the earlier of maturity or when the principal balance is paid in full. At closing, we incurred $1.0 million in lender fees and debt issuance costs and in connection with the Senior Notes, we recorded a derivative instrument for make-whole provisions with an initial value of $5.2 million, which is included in debt discount. The aggregate balance of these term notes as of September 30, 2021 was $37.4 million, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.15, 2022.

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 last year primarily due to an increase of ~~$188.0~~$160.9 million in ~~Federal ESPC receivables,~~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, a decrease of $57.8 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and a $56.4 million increase in accounts receivable when compared to ~~$160.2 million in 2020, which is consistent with~~ the increase in our U.S. Federal revenues. Our operating cash flows reflect the Federal ESPC receivables as outflows as revenue is recognized during the construction or installation of projects and do not reflect any inflows from advances received from third-party lenders, which are recorded as cash inflows from financing activities. This was partially offset by higher net income of $50.6 million compared to $33.2 million last year.prior year period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 we invested ~~$148.0~~$56.8 million in purchases of energy assets compared to ~~$125.5~~$55.8 million in ~~2020.~~2021.

We currently plan to invest approximately ~~$70~~$170 million to ~~$120~~$220 million in additional capital expenditures during the remainder of ~~2021,~~2022, principally for the construction or acquisition of new renewable energy plants, the majority of which ~~will be funded~~we expect to fund with project finance debt.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our primary sources of financing ~~in 2021~~for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were gross proceeds from long-term debt of $286.7 million, net proceeds from our ~~equity offering of $120.1 million, of which $80.0 million was used to pay our~~ senior secured ~~revolving credit facility, net proceeds from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets~~revolver of ~~$114.0~~$76.0 million, and net proceeds from long-term debt financings of $118.2 million, partially offset by net payments on our senior secured revolving credit facility of $38.1 million and payments on long-term debt of $55.6 million.

~~Our primary sources of financing in 2020 were~~ net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets of ~~$196.0 million, net proceeds from our senior secured credit facility of $6.0 million, net proceeds from long-term debt financings of $40.6~~$66.7 million, partially offset by payments on long-term debt of ~~$42.6~~$77.4 million.

Our primary sources of financing for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were net proceeds from our equity offering of $120.2 million, net proceeds received from Federal ESPC projects and energy assets of $33.5 million, net proceeds from long-term debt financings of $30.8 million, partially offset by net payments from our senior secured credit facility of $53.1 million, and payments on long-term debt of $19.1 million.

We currently plan additional project financings of approximately ~~$30~~$160 million to ~~$80~~$205 million during the remainder of ~~2021~~2022 to fund the construction or the acquisition of new renewable energy plants as discussed above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparing our 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.

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. 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 ~~level of assurance.~~assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~There~~During the three months ended March 31, 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.

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 9, 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 ~~2020~~2021 Annual ~~Report~~Report.

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 ~~II,~~I, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. We caution you that the following important factor, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors and oral statements. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in the discussion below, in our 20202021 Annual Report and below are not the only risks we face. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be impacted by macroeconomic conditions such as supply chain challenges, a shortfall of certain products needed for our business, and inflationary pressures.

Global trade conditions that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to persist and have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. These conditions may also have long-lasting adverse impact on us and our industries independently of the progress of the pandemic. For example, pandemic-related issues have exacerbated port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical equipment. These conditions, combined with an increased demand for certain products needed for our business, such as lithium-ion battery cells and solar panels has created a shortfall of and increased costs for these products, which has caused challenges and delays in our ~~June 30, 2021 Form 10-Q~~projects and may impact the profitability of our projects. We cannot predict the duration or direction of current global trends or their sustained impact. If we experience unfavorable global market conditions, our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results may be harmed.

The loss of SCE, which is one of our most significant customers, or our failure to perform on our contract with SCE in accordance with its terms could adversely affect us.

We expect that a material portion of our revenue for 2022 will be ~~important in determining future results. Consequently,~~generated from the SCE Agreement. The SCE Agreement and related purchase orders obligate us to achieve certain substantial completion milestone dates (as they may be extended) for the facilities no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether aslater than August 1, 2022, and for at least two years thereafter meet specified availability and capacity guarantees. As a result of ~~new information, future~~COVID-19 shutdowns and newly implemented Chinese transportation safety policies resulting in delays in the batteries needed for the project, we have provided a force majeure notice to SCE. Certain events, ~~or otherwise, except~~such as delays due to COVID-19 constitute force majeure events under the SCE Agreement and, subject to the ~~extent required by applicable law. You should, however, consult any further disclosure~~party that is claiming a force majeure event being in compliance with its obligations, allows for the extension of the August 1, 2022 completion date. The SCE Agreement also requires us to expend significant capital, and if we ~~make in our reports filed~~are unable to fund such capital needs on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all, this could adversely impact the construction timeline under the agreement. If we fail to satisfy certain milestone obligations, fail to come to an agreement with SCE of appropriate extensions of these milestones or fail to meet the ~~SEC.~~

availability and capacity guarantees, we may be subject to liquidated damages and under certain circumstances SCE may have a right to terminate the agreement. The ~~U.S. presidential executive order concerning mandatory COVID-19 vaccination~~requirement to pay liquidated damages or the loss of ~~U.S.-based employees of companies that work on or in support of federal contracts~~business from SCE could have a material adverse ~~impact~~effect on our reputation, business ~~and~~or results of operations.

~~On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order requiring all employers~~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 or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, could harm our business.

We depend in part on legislation and government policies that support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that enhance the economic feasibility of our energy efficiency services and small-scale renewable energy projects. This support includes legislation and regulations that authorize and regulate the manner in which certain governmental entities do business with ~~federal government contracts to ensure that their U.S.-based employees, contractors, and subcontractors, that work on~~us; encourage or subsidize governmental procurement of our services; encourage or in ~~support~~some cases require other customers to procure power from renewable or low-emission sources, to reduce their electricity use or otherwise to procure our services; and

Table of ~~federal contracts, are fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021. The executive order includes on-site~~Contents

other incentives that reduce our costs or increase our revenues. In addition, ~~on September 9, 2021, President Biden announced that he has directed OSHA to develop an emergency temporary statement (“ETS”) mandating either~~ the ~~full vaccination or weekly testing of employees for employers with 100 or more employees. OSHA~~U.S. government generally has not ~~issued~~taken action to materially burden the ~~ETS nor provided~~international supply chain, which has been important to the development of renewable energy facilities at acceptable prices. Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support renewable energy or the imposition of additional taxes, tariffs, duties or other assessments on renewable energy or the equipment necessary to generate or deliver it, such as antidumping and countervailing duty rates that could be put in place as a result of the U.S. Department of Commerce's investigation into an antidumping and countervailing duties circumvention claim on solar cells and panels supplied from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia could result in, among other things, the lack of a satisfactory market for the development and/or financing of renewable energy projects, or adversely impact our ability to complete projects for existing customers and obtain project commitments from new customers. Due to the uncertainty in the regulatory and legislative processes, we cannot determine the effect any ~~additional information on its contents or requirements.~~

~~It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact the executive order or OSHA ETS will~~such legislation and regulation may have on our ~~workforce.~~products and operations

Failure of third parties to manufacture quality products or provide reliable services in a timely manner or at prices that are acceptable to us could cause delays in the delivery of our services and completion of our projects, which could damage our reputation, have a negative impact on our relationships with our customers and adversely affect our growth.

Our success depends on our ability to provide services and complete projects in a timely manner, which in part depends on the ability of third parties to provide us with timely and reliable products and services at acceptable prices. In providing our services and completing our projects, we rely on products that meet our design specifications and components manufactured and supplied by third parties, as well as on services performed by subcontractors. We also rely on subcontractors to perform substantially all of the construction and installation work related to our projects; and we often need to engage subcontractors with whom we have no experience for our projects. We, our subcontractors and other third parties have been impacted by the global supply chain delays as well as quarantine and other restrictions imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in and may continue to result in delays in our ability to provide our services and complete our projects in a timely manner. In addition, some of the third parties we engage for our design, construction and operation projects operate internationally and our reliance on their products and services may be impacted by economic, political, and labor conditions in those regions as well as the uncertainty caused by the evolving relations between the United States and these regions, including China.

For example, we are dependent on the continued supply of lithium-ion battery cells for our energy storage products, and we will require substantially more cells to grow our battery storage business based on our current plans. Currently, we rely on limited number of suppliers for these cells. Any disruption in the supply of battery cells from our suppliers could limit our growth for projects involving battery energy storage. In addition, the cost and mass production of battery cells, depends in part upon the prices and availability of raw materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and/or other metals. The prices for these materials fluctuate and their available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials. As a ~~federal government contractor,~~result of increased global production of energy storage products and electric vehicles, suppliers of these raw materials may be unable to meet our volume or timing needs. Any reduced availability of these materials may adversely impact our access to battery cells and our growth, and any increases in their prices may reduce our profitability if we cannot recoup such costs in our project pricing. Moreover, our inability to meet demand may harm our brand, growth, prospects and operating results.

If any of our subcontractors are unable to provide services that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations or satisfy our contractual commitments, our reputation, business and operating results could be harmed. In addition, if we are ~~requiring all U.S. based employees, contractors~~unable to avail ourselves of warranty and ~~subcontractors that service~~other contractual protections with providers of products and services, we may incur liability to our customers or ~~support our federal government contracts to be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021. Employees who are not subject to this requirement and who are not fully vaccinated may be subject~~additional costs related to the ETS that will require them to get a COVID-19 test at least once a week. Additional vaccine mandates may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate or by customers we serve. Our implementation of these requirements may result in attrition, including attrition of critically skilled workforce,affected products and ~~difficulty securing future workforce needs,~~components, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and ~~results~~operating results. Moreover, any delays, malfunctions, inefficiencies, or interruptions in these products or services could adversely affect the quality and performance of ~~operations.~~

our solutions and require considerable expense to establish alternate sources for such products and services. This could cause us to experience difficulty retaining current customers and attracting new customers, and could harm our brand, reputation, growth, and operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds

Stock Repurchase Program

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on April 27, 2016 (the “Repurchase Program”) during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

March 31, 2022. Under the Repurchase Program, we are authorized to repurchase up to $17.6 million of our Class A common stock. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there were shares having a dollar value of approximately $5.9 million that may yet be purchased under the Repurchase Program.

Stock repurchases may be made from time to time through the open market and privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of any share repurchases will depend upon a variety of factors, including the trading price of our Class A common stock, liquidity, securities laws restrictions, other regulatory restrictions, potential alternative uses of capital, and market and economic conditions. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and has no expiration date.
