TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
As previously announced by Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Greenbacker Capital Management LLC (“GCM”), Greenbacker Administration LLC (“Greenbacker Administration”) and other affiliated companies on May 19, 2022 (the “Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition and other steps taken by the Company to transition the focus of the Company's business from being an investor in clean energy projects to a diversified independent power producer coupled with an investment management business, the Company was required to transition the basis of its accounting. Since inception, the Company's historical financial statements have been prepared using the investment company basis of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). ASC 946 (or “Investment Basis”) requires that if there is a subsequent change in the purpose and design of an entity, the entity should reevaluate its status as an investment company. Based on the above noted changes, management determined the Company no longer exhibited the fundamental characteristics of, and no longer qualified as, an investment company as defined in ASC 946. As a result, the Company was required to discontinue the application of ASC 946 and, in connection therewith, began applying other non-investment company U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) prospectively beginning May 19, 2022 (the closing of the Acquisition).
As the change in status occurred during the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2022, the results of operations as included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) will be presented as they would be for an investment company under ASC 946 for all historical periods and the period(s) through May 18, 2022, and presented as they would be under other non-investment company U.S. GAAP accounting (“Non-Investment Basis”) for the time period subsequent to May 19, 2022, the effective date of the change in status. Given that the financial statements prior to and subsequent to the change in status are not comparable, the Company will present separate Consolidated Financial Statements, including footnotes as applicable, for the time periods prior to and subsequent to May 19, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTSTable of contents
Forward Looking Statements
Various statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects, revenues, income and capital spending. We generally identify forward-looking statements with the words “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” or their negatives, and other similar expressions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, or to our expectations regarding future industry trends, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are largely based on our expectations, which reflect many estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. In addition, assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. We caution all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will prove correct or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to the numerous risks and uncertainties as described under Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf. The risks, contingencies and uncertainties associated with our forward-looking statements relate to, among other matters, the following: 
volatility of the global financial markets and uncertain economic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, recessionary concerns or global supply chain issues;
other changes in the economy;
the ability to complete the under construction renewable energy projects that we acquire;
our inability to obtain or re-negotiate long-term contracts for the sale of our power produced by our projects on favorable terms and our inability to meet certain milestones and other performance criteria under existing PPAs;
our relationships with project developers, lawyers, investment and commercial banks, individual and institutional investors, consultants, diligence specialists, EPCs, contractors, renewable energy technology manufacturers (such as panel manufacturers), solar insurance specialists, component manufacturers, software providers and other industry participants in the renewable energy, capital markets and project finance sectors;
fluctuations in supply, demand, prices and other conditions for electricity, other commodities and RECs;
public response to and changes in the local, state and federal regulatory framework affecting renewable energy projects, including the potential expiration or extension of the PTC, ITC and the related U.S. Treasury grants, potential reductions in RPS requirements and the impacts of the recent passage of the IRA;
competition from other energy developers and asset managers;
the worldwide demand for electricity and the market for renewable energy;
the ability or inability of conventional fossil fuel-based generation technologies to meet the worldwide demand for electricity;
our competitive position and our expectation regarding key competitive factors;
risks associated with our hedging strategies;
vi

Table of contents
potential environmental liabilities and the cost of compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, which may be material;
our electrical production projections (including assumptions of curtailment and facility availability) for our renewable energy projects;
our ability to operate our business efficiently, manage costs (including salary and compensation related expenses and other general and administrative expenses) effectively and generate cash flow;
availability of suitable renewable energy resources and other weather conditions that affect our electricity production;
the effects of litigation, including administrative and other proceedings or investigations relating to our renewable energy projects;
non-payment by customers and enforcement of certain contractual provisions;
the lack of a public trading market for our shares;
the ability to make and the amount and timing of anticipated future distributions;
risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural or man-made disasters, pandemics or threatened or actual armed conflicts;
future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our operating areas;
the loss of our exemption from the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
fiscal policies or inaction at the U.S. federal government level, which may lead to federal government shutdowns or negative impacts on the U.S economy;
failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, increased labor costs, and the unavailability of skilled workers; and
our ability to achieve the cost savings and economies of scale expected to be realized as a result of the Company's management internalization.

Basis of Presentation
TheSince inception and prior to the Acquisition, the Company’s consolidatedhistorical financial statements arewere prepared using the investment company basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), whichASC 946. ASC 946, or Investment Basis, requires that if there is a subsequent change in the usepurpose and design of estimates, assumptions andan entity, the exerciseentity should reevaluate its status as an investment company. As a result of subjective judgment as to future uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates, assumptions and judgments. Significant items subject to such estimates will include determining the fair value of investments, revenue recognition, income tax uncertaintiesAcquisition and other contingencies. The consolidated financial statementssteps taken by the Company to transition the focus of the Company include the accounts of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, GREC, GREC HoldCo, and GREC Administration LLC and Danforth Shared Services LLC, both of which provide administrative servicesCompany’s business from being an investor in clean energy projects to the Company.

business, the Company no longer exhibits the fundamental characteristics of, and no longer qualifies as, an investment company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared usingCompany discontinued applying the specialized accounting principlesguidance in ASC 946 and began to account for the change in status prospectively in accordance with Non-Investment Basis as of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”)the date of the change in status, or May 19, 2022 (the closing date of the Acquisition). In accordance with this specialized accounting guidance, the Company recognizes and carries all its investments, including investments in the underlying operating entities, at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Additionally, the Company will not apply the equity method of accounting to its investments. The Company carries its liabilities at amounts payable, net of unamortized premiums or discounts. The Company does not currently plan to elect to carry its non-investment liabilities at fair value. Net assets are calculated as the carrying amounts of assets, including the fair value of investments, less the carrying amounts of its liabilities.
The financial information associated with the March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements has been prepared by management and, in the opinion of management, contains all adjustments and eliminations necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP.
Basis of Consolidation
As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidates in its consolidated financial statements the accounts of certain wholly owned subsidiaries that meet the criteria. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of demand deposits at a financial institution. Such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in any such accounts.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $16,747,819 in cash presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash accounts or letters of credit that are restricted for use on specific investments. As of March 31, 2022, restricted cash included $35,967,698 of collateral related to the ongoing construction of certain of the Company's pre-operational assets.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of investments, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net unrealized currency gains and losses arising from valuing foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Valuation of Investments at Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value. The Company recognizes and accounts for its investments at fair value. The fair value of the investments does not reflect transaction costs that may be incurred upon disposition of the investments.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is an exchange price notion under which fair value is the price in an orderly

transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability.
The Advisor has established procedures to estimate the fair value of its investments that the Company’s Board of Directors has reviewed and approved. To the extent that such market data is available, the Company will use observable market data to estimate the fair value of investments. In the absence of quoted market prices in active markets, or quoted market prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, the Company will use the valuation methodologies described below with unobservable data based on the best available information in the circumstances. These methodologies incorporate the Company’s assumptions about the factors that a market participant would use to value the asset.
The Company considers investments in money market funds to be short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
For investments for which quoted market prices are not available, which comprise most of our investment portfolio, fair value is estimated by using the cost, income, or market approach. The income approach assumes that value is created by the expectation of future benefits, discounted by a risk premium, to calculate a current cash value. This estimate is the fair value: the amount an investor would be willing to pay to receive those future benefits. The market approach compares either recent comparable transactions to the investment or an offer to purchase an investment based upon a qualified bid: a signed term sheet and/or a signed purchase agreement. Adjustments to proposed prices are made to account for the probability of the deal closing, changes between proposed and executed terms, and any dissimilarity between the comparable transactions and their underlying investments. If multiple bids are qualified in the same valuation period, a blended market approach will be calculated.
Prior to the second quarter of 2020, fair value for pre-operational assets was approximated using the cost approach. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, our Advisor expanded the criteria whereby certain pre-operational assets are identified and qualified for the income approach, rather than the cost approach, for approximating fair value. Currently, we consider all owned assets that are fully construction ready with no impediments to begin construction and where the costs to complete such projects are well understood for the income approach. The fair value of such eligible projects is determined based upon a discounted cash flow methodology. If the portfolio has any significant portion of value that remains subject to negotiation or contract or if other significant risks to complete the project exist, the investment may be held at cost, as an approximation of fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment by management.
In determining the appropriate fair value of an investment using these approaches,at the most significant informationdate of the change in status shall be the investment's initial carrying amount on a Non-Investment Basis.
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the period beginning on May 19, 2022 are prepared on a consolidated, Non-Investment Basis to include the financial position, results of operations, and assumptions include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable comparable market transactions, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the investment’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows the markets in which the project does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, comparable mergers and acquisitions, the principal market and enterprise values and environmental factors, among other factors.
The estimated fair values will not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence or non-occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertaintyCompany and its consolidated subsidiaries rather than on an Investment Basis. This change in status and the accompanying accounting policies affect the comparability of the valuationConsolidated Financial Statements as of the investments, the estimate of fair values may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a broader marketand for the investments existed.historical periods as presented in this Quarterly Report.
The authoritative accounting guidance prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1:    Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:    Other significant observable inputs that are sourced either directly or indirectly from publications or pricing services, including dealer or broker markets, for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Generally, these inputs should be widely accepted and public, non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party.
Level 3:    Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data and derived primarily through the use of internal valuation methodologies.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls will be determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of an input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.

Calculation of Net Asset Value
Net asset value ("NAV") by share class is calculated by subtracting total liabilities for each class from the total carrying amount of all assets for that class, whichAs such, this Quarterly Report includes the fair valuefollowing:

Earnings per Share
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260—Earnings per Share (“ASC Topic 260”), basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common members by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis.

Revenue Recognition
To the extent the Company expects to collect such amounts, interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. If there is reason to doubt an ability to collect such interest, interest receivable on loansConsolidated Statement of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and debt securities is not accrued for accounting purposes. Original issue discounts, market discounts or market premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. Prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities are recorded as interest income when received. Any application, origination or other fees earned by the Company in arranging or issuing debt are amortized over the expected term of the loan.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal and interest are 90 days or more past due, or when there is a reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due and principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current.
Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared and determined that collection is probable. The timing and amount of dividend income is determined on at least a quarterly basis. This process includes an analysis at the individual project company level based on cash available from operations and working capital neededEquity for the project company operations. Dividend income from our privately held, equity investments is recognized when approved. On a quarterly basis at a minimum, dividends received fromthree months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited)

Without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, realized gains or losses will be measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale, repayment, or disposal of an asset and the adjusted cost basis of the asset. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.three months ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited)

Distribution PolicyInvestment Basis
Distributions to members, if any, will be authorized and declared by our Board of Directors quarterly in advance and paid monthly. From time to time, we may also pay interim special distributions in the form of cash or shares, with the approval of our Board of Directors. Distributions will be made on all classes of shares at the same time. The cash distributions paid to the shareholder with respect to the Class C, P-S and P-T shares will be lower than the cash distributions with respect to the LLC’s other share classes because of the distribution fee associated with the Class C, P-S and P-T shares, which is allocated specifically to these classes' net assets. Amounts distributed to each class are allocated amongst the holders of the shares in such class in proportion to their shares. Distributions declared by our Board of Directors are recognized as distribution liabilities on the ex-dividend date.
Organization and Offering Costs
Organization and offering costs (“O&O costs”), other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fee, were initially paid by our Advisor and/or dealer manager on behalf of the Company in connection with its formation and the offering of its shares pursuant to now-terminated Registration Statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-178786-01 and File No. 333-211571, respectively).
The Company was obligated to reimburse our Advisor for O&O costs that it incurred on behalf of the Company, in accordance with the advisory agreement. However, with respect to the Company’s public offerings, the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and the other O&O costs borne by the Company was not to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds.
Offering costs incurred by our Advisor in conjunction with the offering of shares of Class P-A, P-S, P-T and P-D under our private placement memoranda are subject to the reimbursement by the Company up to 0.50% (50 basis points) of gross offering proceeds for each such class of shares.
The costs incurred by our Advisor and/or dealer manager are recognized as a liability of the Company to the extent that the Company is obligated to reimburse our Advisor and/or dealer manager. When recognized by the Company, organizational costs are expensed and offering costs, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are recognized as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering. As of March 31, 2022, $1,155,017 in O&O costs were incurred by our Advisor with respect to the Company's offering, of which $347,104 is a current payable and $807,913 was reimbursed to the Advisor.
Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred by the Company for the issuance of debt liabilities are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the debt liability. Financing costs related to debt liabilities incurred by the Company are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.
Return of Capital Receivable
For operational assets, if the project company has inadequate cash to fund day-to-day expenses, the Company will loan funds to that project company through an investment. Once the project company has adequate cash, they will repay the loan by sending a return of capital distribution. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a return of capital receivable of $4,038,614 and $654,622, respectively was recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Performance Participation Fee
Under the Operating Agreement, the incentive fee payable by the Company was simplified to be structured with two components: the performance participation fee and the liquidation performance participation fee (each as defined in Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements). The performance participation fee is based on the Company's total return amount during the relevant calculation period. The calculation of the performance participation fee is further detailed in Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements. The performance participation fee is accounted for and classified as an operating expense and reflected as the Performance participation fee on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the Operating Agreement, a Performance participation fee payable of $384,065 and $3,359,269 was recorded as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Company billing practices are dictated by the value of any collateral received. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to collateral postedcontract terms and the unrealized gains inherentare typically done in such transactions that are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As appropriate, the Company minimizes counterparty credit risk through credit monitoring procedures and managing margin and collateral requirements.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Income Taxes
The LLC intends to operate so that it will qualify to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. As such, it will not be subject to any U.S. federal and state income taxes. In any year, it is possible that the LLC will not meet the qualifying income exception and will not qualify to be treated as a partnership. If the LLC does not meet the qualifying income exception, the members would then be treated as stockholders in a corporation, and the Company would become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. The LLC would be required to pay income tax at corporate rates on its net taxable income. To the extent of the Company’s earnings and profits, and the payment of the distributions would not be deductible by the LLC, distributions to members from the LLC would constitute dividend income taxable to such members.
The LLC plans to conduct substantially all its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, GREC, which is a corporation that is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Accordingly, most of its operations will be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. As of March 31, 2022, including territories and provinces, the portfolio resides in 36 jurisdictions.
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liabilities method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between items that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and tax returns in different years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
For income tax benefits to be recognized, including uncertain tax benefits, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Interest and penalties associated with income taxes, if any, will be recognized in general and administrative expense.prior period.
The Company doesdid not consolidate its investments for financial statements; rather, it accounts for its investments at fair value under the specialized accounting of ASC Topic 946. The tax attributes of the individual investments will be considered and incorporated in the Company’s fair value estimates for those investments. The amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements for unrealized appreciation and depreciation will result in a difference between the consolidated financial statements and the cost basis of the assets for tax purposes. These differences will be recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Generally, the entities that hold the Company’s investments will be included in the consolidated tax return of GREC and the differences between the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes and the tax return will be recognized as additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has concluded it has no material uncertain tax positions to be recognized at this time.
The Company assessed its tax positions for all open tax years as of March 31, 2022 for all U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions for the years 2015 through 2021. The results of this assessment are included in the Company’s tax provision and deferred taxrecord any contract assets as of March 31, 2022.2023 and December 31, 2022, as none of its rights to payment were subject to a particular event other than passage of time. Included within the Accounts receivable balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company had a receivable balance of $18.5 million and $19.0 million, related to contracts with customers as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The effective tax rateCompany has contract liabilities related to amounts received in advance from certain PPA customers upon the related solar projects reaching COD. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $2.9 million of contract liabilities in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $0.7 million of contract liabilities in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s amortization due to contract liabilities was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is 21.3%. The primary items giving rise2023.
Costs to the difference between the 21.0% statutory rate and the 21.3% effective tax rate are primarily state taxes and federal tax credits.Obtain a Contract
The effective tax rateCompany’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract (i.e., commissions) are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. These costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit of the related contracts. The Company has capitalized $1.6 million and $1.6 million, in costs to obtain a contract as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s amortization related to costs to obtain a contract were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is 32.3%. The primary items giving rise2023.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent fixed contracted revenue related to the difference betweenCompany's commitment to deliver a certain number of RECs in the 21.0% statutory ratefuture that has not been recognized, which includes amounts that will be billed and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of March 31, 2023, the 32.3% effective tax rate are primarily state taxes and 2020 provisionCompany had $16.0 million of remaining performance obligations. The following table includes the approximate amounts expected to return adjustments.
The guidance under FASB Codification ASC 740-10-270-30 establishes the methodology, including the usebe recognized related to remaining performance obligations as of an estimated annual effective tax rate, to determine income tax expense (or benefit) in interim financial reporting. ASC 740-10-270-18 provides, in part, if a reliable estimate cannot be made, the actual effective rate for the year to date may be the best estimate of the annual effective rate. Due to the inability to reasonably estimate an annual effective rate, the actual year to date effective rate is being used to determine the income tax provision for the current periods.March 31:

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The compositionCompany assesses entities for consolidation in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) and consolidates entities that are VIEs for which the Company has been designated as the primary beneficiary. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss on the initial consolidation of any of its VIEs.
The Company through various wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the managing member in 15 tax equity partnerships, where the other members are Tax Equity Investors under tax equity financing facilities. Tax Equity Investors are passive investors, usually large tax-paying financial entities such as banks, insurance companies and utility affiliates that use these investments to reduce future tax liabilities. Refer to Note 17. Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for further discussion. These entities generate income through renewable energy and sustainable development projects primarily within North America. The entities represent a diversified portfolio of income-producing renewable energy power facilities that sell long-term electricity contracts to offtakers with high credit quality, such as utilities, municipalities, and corporations. The Company has determined that these tax equity partnerships are VIEs. Additionally, through its role as managing member of these VIEs, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be more than insignificant to the VIEs.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company consolidated each tax equity partnership for which it is the managing member and considered the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s investmentsconsolidated tax equity partnerships totaled approximately $1.3 billion and $213.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2022 by geographic region, at cost2023.

Three subsidiaries of OYA-Rosewood have entered into tax equity partnerships with investor members. The Company, along with the parent company of the other 50.00% member of OYA-Rosewood, provided guarantees to the tax equity investor members for the payment and performance of all obligations of these subsidiaries under the partnership documents as well as affiliate contracts. In two of these arrangements, the tax equity investor members are considered Control Investments, which are defined as investments in companiesrequired to make demand for payment or performance of the guaranteed obligations by the parent company of the other 50.00% member prior to making a demand from the Company for payment or performance of the guaranteed obligations. Two of the three guarantees do not have maximum liability amounts, and therefore the Company is not able to quantify the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees. Under the third guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under the guarantee is $21.3 million, with certain exceptions in which case the limit would not apply. The guarantees will remain in full force and effect until the termination of the limited liability company agreements of the tax equity partnerships, the transfer of the tax equity investor members’ membership interests, and/or the obligations under the guarantees are performed in full, depending on the specific terms of the guarantee.
In addition, certain subsidiaries of OYA-Rosewood have entered into loan agreements with certain financial institutions. The Company has provided guarantees of certain obligations under the loan agreements upon the occurrence and continuance of a trigger event. The parent company of the other 50.00% member of OYA-Rosewood has also provided a guarantee to the financial institutions, and the Company owns 25% or moreis only obligated to perform in the event that the parent company of the voting securities of such company,other 50.00% member fails to perform under its guarantees. The guarantees do not have greater than 50% representation on such company’s Board of Directors, or are investments in limitedmaximum liability companies for whichamounts, and therefore the Company serves as managing member.is not able to quantify the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under these guarantees. The guarantees are expected to terminate on the maturity dates of the loans in 2028 and 2029.
Note 4.6. Fair Value Measurements -and Investments
Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants. This guidance also establishes a framework for classifying the inputs used to determine fair value into three levels within a hierarchy.

Equity method investments—In the table above, certain equity method investments may be valued at the purchase price for a period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. In addition, certain valuations of investments may be entirely or outpartially derived by reference to observable valuation measures for a pending or consummated transaction. In the absence of quoted prices in active markets, the Company uses a variety of techniques to measure the fair value of its investments. The methodologies incorporate the Company’s assumptions about the factors that a market participant would use to value the investment.

GREC utilizes primarily proprietary discounted cash flow pricing models in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments. Significant unobservable inputs include discount rates and estimates related to the future production of electricity. Significant increases or decreases in discount rates used or actual kilowatt-hour production can significantly increase or decrease the fair value measurement.
Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements
The Company has executed advisory and administration agreements with the Advisor and Greenbacker Administration, LLC, our administrator, respectively, which entitles the Advisor, and certain affiliates of the Advisor, to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the ongoing management of the Company as well as reimbursement of O&O costs incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company (as discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies) and certain other operating costs incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. As the Company’s previous public offering was terminated on March 29, 2019, our former dealer manager will no longer receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees. However, our former dealer manager will continue to receive distribution fees on Class C shares until the maximum amount of commissions and dealer manager fees permitted by applicable regulation is reached.
The term “Special Unitholder” refers to GREC Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a subsidiary of our Advisor, and “special unit”, refers to the special unit of limited liability company interest in the LLC. This entitles the Special Unitholder to receive a performance participation fee.
The commissions, fees and reimbursement obligations related to our terminated continuous public offering and ongoing private placement included Selling Commissions, Dealer Manager fees and Distribution fees payable to the former dealer manager for Class A, Class C, Class P-A and Class I shares ranging from 1.75% to 7% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of such shares.
With respect to Class C shares only, the Company pays the former dealer manager a distribution fee that accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.80% of the amount of the net asset value for the Class C shares for such day on a continuous basis from year to year. The Company will stop paying distribution fees at the earlier of 1) a listing of the Class C shares on a national securities exchange; 2) total underwriting compensation in the offering equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the

primary offering of Class C shares, following the completion of such offering; or 3) Class C shares are no longer outstanding. The dealer manager may re-allow all or a portion of the distribution fee to participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers. The Company estimated the amount of distribution fees expected to be paid and recorded that liability at the time of sale. The liability is included in Deferred sales commission payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and fees recorded in Accumulated gains (losses) (specific to the Class C Shares) on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company continues to assess the value of the liability on a regular basis.
The Company also reimbursed the Advisor for the O&O costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) it had incurred on the Company's behalf related to the now terminated Registration Statements, only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and the other O&O costs borne by the Company to exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds as the amount of proceeds increases.
Offering costs incurred by our Advisor in conjunction with the offering of shares of Class P-A, P-S, P-T and P-D under our private placement memoranda are subject to the reimbursement by the Company up to 0.50% (50 basis points) of gross offering proceeds for each such class of shares.
The fees and reimbursement obligations related to our ongoing operation of the Company are as follows:2023:
Type of Compensation and RecipientUnobservable InputDetermination of AmountInput/Range
Base Management Fees — AdvisorDiscount rate
The base management fee payable to the Advisor will be calculated at a monthly rate of 0.167% (2.00% annually) of our gross assets (including amounts borrowed up to $50,000,000) until gross assets exceed $800,000,000. The base management fee monthly rate will decrease to 0.14583% (1.75% annually) for gross assets between $800,000,001 to $1,500,000,000 and 0.125% (1.50% annually) for gross assets greater than $1,500,000,000. For services rendered under the advisory agreement, the base management fee will be payable monthly in arrears, or more frequently as authorized under the advisory agreement. The base management fee will be calculated based on the average of the values of our gross assets for each day of the prior month. Base management fees for any partial period will be appropriately prorated. The base management fee may be deferred or waived, in whole or in part, at the election of the Advisor. All or any part of the deferred base management fee not taken as to any period shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in any period prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event as the Advisor shall determine in its sole discretion.

On July 1, 2021, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. Effective July 1, 2021, the base management fee payable to the Advisor is calculated at a monthly rate of 0.167% (2.00% annually) of the net assets until the net assets exceed $800,000,000. The base management fee monthly rate will decrease to 0.14583% (1.75% annually) for net assets between $800,000,001 to $1,500,000,000 and to 0.125% (1.50% annually) for net assets greater than $1,500,000,000.

The Company has unfunded commitments to GDEV and GDEV II of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The investments in GDEV and GDEV II represent investments in a partnership in which no partner is permitted to make a withdrawal of any of its capital contributions. GDEV GP and GDEV GP II are required to cause the respective partnerships to distribute, as distributions, amounts available to the partners within 90 days of the receipt of amounts available for distribution, in the sole discretion of the GDEV GP and GDEV GP II, respectively. The Company accounts for its investments in GDEV and GDEV II as equity method investments.
As of March 31, 2023, the value of the Company's investments in OYA, Aurora Solar, GDEV and GDEV II, its equity method investments, were $20.5 million, $73.4 million, $3.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the value of the Company's investments in OYA, Aurora Solar, GDEV and GDEV II, its equity method investments, were $18.6 million, $71.3 million, $2.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Equity method investments are recorded to Investments, at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on investments of $2.6 million due to unrealized gains of $2.1 million on Aurora Solar and $0.5 million on GDEV, respectively. The unrealized gain is recorded in Unrealized gain on investments, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Contingent consideration—The Company estimates the fair value of its contingent consideration associated with the Acquisition based on the likelihood of payment related to the contingent clause and the date when payment is expected to occur. The contingent consideration is reflected in Contingent consideration included in noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $2.3 million as an increase in General and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured based on significant unobservable inputs, including the contractual payment amount due upon reaching the designated thresholds, the discount rate, and the date when payment is expected and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The various unobservable inputs used to determine the Level 3 valuation may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

Note 10. Leases
Lessee Arrangements
The Company has site lease agreements with various entities for the properties where renewable energy facilities have been constructed which provide the right to own and operate the projects on land and rooftops. The Company’s most significant lease liabilities relate to real estate leases that have initial contract lease terms ranging from one to 50 years. Certain leases include renewal and termination options. The Company considered a number of factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts were reasonably certain of exercise, such as importance of the lease to overall operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, and costs of equipment constructed on the land. Management included the impact of any renewal options that the Company deemed to be reasonably certain of being exercised in its measurement and classification of its leases.
Leases are classified as either operating or financing. For operating leases, the Company has recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, and a ROU asset equal to the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for prepaid rents. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. Operating leases result in a straight-line lease expense, while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern.
There were no impairment indicators identified during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that required an impairment test for the Company’s ROU assets or other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.
The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

Lessor Arrangements
A portion of the Company’s operating revenues are generated from delivering electricity and related products from owned solar and wind renewable energy facilities under PPAs in which the Company is the lessor. In addition, the Company has certain energy optimization service agreements that involve the use of a battery in which the Company is the lessor.
For these PPAs, revenue is recognized when electricity is delivered and is accounted for as rental income under the lease standard. The adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), did not have an impact on the accounting policy for rental income from the Company’s PPAs in which it is the lessor. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available under ASC 842, which did not require the Company to reassess its lease classification from ASC Topic 840, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for lessors. This election allows energy (lease component) and RECs (non-lease components) under bundled PPAs to be accounted for as a singular lease unit of account under ASC 842. The Company’s PPAs do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
As a result of the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, the Company does not expect that PPAs that it enters into in the future will meet the definition of a lease. The Company may enter into battery storage agreements or bundled solar and storage agreements in the future that may contain one or more lease components.
Certain of the Company’s PPAs related to its solar or wind generating plants qualify as operating leases with remaining terms through 2047. Certain agreements include renewal, termination or purchase options. Property subject to operating leases, where the Company or one of its subsidiaries is the lessor, is included in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and rental income from these leases is included in Energy revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Lease income is based on energy generation; therefore, all rental income is variable under these leases. The variable lease income related to these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.6 million and is included in Energy revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s solar and wind generating plants subject to these leases had a total carrying value of $66.3 million and $67.4 million, respectively.
Certain of the Company’s energy optimization service agreements qualify as operating leases with remaining terms through 2031. Lease income under these agreements is generally fixed and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease income related to these agreements the three months ended were not material and is not expected to be material for the ensuing five years.

The Company has entered into credit facilities and loan agreements through its subsidiaries, as described below.

Note 12. Derivative Instruments
The Company manages interest rate risk, primarily through the use of derivative financial instruments.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed interest rate payments at fixed rates ranging between 0.41% and 3.33%.
The fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap is recognized into income under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as the earnings effect of the hedged item, with the offset recorded to Other comprehensive loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1.6 million as an increase in Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations with the offsetting gain reflected in Other comprehensive loss in association with the recognition of the initial fair value of the interest rate hedges on the designation date.
As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was a $151.9 million asset, which includes $34.3 million related to an interest rate swap not designated as a hedging instrument, and $2.7 million liability, with an outstanding notional amount of $1.5 billion. The notional amount includes $767.2 million associated with currently effective

swaps, $404.7 million associated with forward starting swaps, and $284.7 million associated with a deal contingent swap not designated as a hedging instrument. The interest rate swaps have maturities between 2025 and 2050.
As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was $195.8 million with an outstanding notional amount of $1.5 billion. The notional amount includes $700.8 million associated with currently effective swaps, $542.3 million associated with forward starting swaps, and $284.7 million associated with deal contingent swaps. The interest rate swaps have maturities between 2025 and 2050.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings), and subsequently, reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by utilizing a statistical regression analysis.
For the three months ended March 31, 20222023, the Company recognized a loss of $29.5 million, net of taxes of $10.0 million, in Unrealized loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), related to the Company's cash flow hedge accounting.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to designated derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was a $5.4 million gain associated with favorable settlements received under the Company’s interest rate swap agreements reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to income as a decrease in interest expense offset by $1.6 million of amortization as discussed above. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that a gain of $24.0 million will be reclassified to income as a decrease in interest expense as interest payments are made. In addition, a loss of $6.7 million will be reclassified to income as an increase in interest expense in association with the recognition of the initial fair value of the interest rate hedges on the designation date.
On March 3, 2023, the Company amended an existing interest rate swap that was previously designated in a hedging relationship, which resulted in a dedesignation of the hedge. The Company determined the two years of forecasted interest payments hedged by the dedesignated hedge are not probable to occur. As a result, $6.3 million gain that was previously accounted for within Accumulated other comprehensive income was reclassified to Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company elected not to designate the newly amended interest rate swap in a hedging relationship. As a result, a $4.1 million loss was recognized in Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap between the dedesignation date and March 31, 2021,2023. For the Advisor earned $6,886,720three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $2.2 million, net, as a result of the above amendments to its hedging relationships, in Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 7. Members' Equity (cont.)Table ofcontents
The SRP includes numerous restrictions that will limit a shareholder’s ability to sell shares. At the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company may also use cash on hand (including the proceeds from the issuance of new shares), cash available from borrowings or other external financing sources and cash from liquidation of investments to repurchase shares.
The shareholders'A shareholders’ right to purchase is subject to the availability of funds and the other provisions of the SRP. Additionally, a member must hold his or her shares for a minimum of one year before he or she can participate in the SRP, subject to any of the following special circumstances: (i) the written request of the estate, heir or beneficiary or a deceased shareholder; (ii) a qualifying disability of the shareholder for a non-temporary period of time provided that the condition causing the qualifying disability was not pre-existing on the date that the shareholder became a shareholder; (iii) a determination of incompetence of the shareholder by a state or federal court located in the United States; or (iv) as determined by the Board of Directors, in their discretion, to be in the interests of the Company. If a member has made more than one purchase of shares, the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each purchase.
Through September 30, 2020, quarterly share repurchases were conducted to allow up to approximately 5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period to be repurchased by the Company. Effective September 1, 2020, the Company, through approval by its Board of Directors, adopted an amended SRP, pursuant to which the Company will conduct quarterly share repurchases to allow members to sell all or a portion of their shares (of any class) back to the Company. The quarterly share repurchaserepurchases limits for the Company'sCompany’s new SRP are set forth below.

In addition, our repurchase programthe SRP is substantially similar to repurchase programs for which the SEC has stated it will not recommend enforcement action under Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act.
Liquidation Performance Unit
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company issued a new Liquidation Performance Unit (the “LPU”) to the LPU Holder to replace the Special Unit previously issued to GCM. The Special Unit was contributed in connection with and immediately prior to the Acquisition from Group LLC, and therefore, was cancelled and terminated. The LPU Holder was formed on May 19, 2022 with the sole purpose of holding the LPU and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Group LLC.
Upon an initial public offering of GREC (the “Listing”) or the liquidation of the Company, LPU Holder shall be entitled to the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution, the value and character of which is determined as follows:

a.
if the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution is payable as a result of a liquidation, the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution will equal 20.00% of the net proceeds from the liquidation remaining after the other members of the Company have received their share of net proceeds; or

b.
if the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution is payable as a result of a Listing, the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution will equal 20.00% of any premium the Company receives from the Listing. Additionally, the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution shall be payable by converting the LPU into a number of newly issued Class P-I shares equal to the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution divided by the Class P-I share value as of the first month end following the 30th trading day following such an IPO.

Since none of the events that would trigger the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution was considered probable to occur, no liability was recognized related to the LPU as of March 31, 2023.












Additionally, certain employees of the Company received profits interest units from the LPU Holder in exchange for employment services. Since LPU Holder does not have any other operations or assets, the distribution an employee grantee shall receive from these profits interest units is the equivalent of the Liquidation Performance Participation Distribution the Company shall make to the LPU Holder. The Company has determined that the profits interest units do not represent a substantive class of the Company’s equity, and therefore, shall account for the potential distribution to employees as a payable in accordance with ASC Topic 710, Compensation—General. Since none of the events that would trigger the distribution was considered probable to occur, no liability was recognized as of March 31, 2023, and no compensation expenses was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 20. Segment Reporting
The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into two reportable segments described below.
IPP – The IPP business represents the active management and operations of the Company's fleet of renewable energy projects, including those in late-stage development and under construction. The Company's renewable energy projects generally earn revenue through the sale of generated electricity as well as frequently through the sale of other commodities such as RECs. In certain cases, the Company also serves as a minority member in renewable energy projects where it does not actively manage and operate the project but receives periodic dividends. The Company also provides loans to developers for the construction of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects as an incremental revenue stream for IPP.
The IPP business includes the direct costs to operate the Company's fleet, including costs such as operations and maintenance, repairs, and other costs incurred at the project / site level. Additionally, the Company employs a dedicated team of technical asset managers as well as a construction team to oversee the development and operations of our fleet. Such costs are recorded as Direct operating costs for IPP.
The IPP business also includes the allocable portion of the Company’s General and administrative expenses, which represents overhead functions such as: finance and accounting, legal, information technology, human resources and other general functions that support the operations of IPP.
IM – The IM business represents GCM’s investment management platform – a renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability-related project acquisition, consulting and development company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The IM business also includes administrative services provided by Greenbacker Administration for managed funds in the renewable energy industry as an additional revenue stream.
The Company's IM business includes the direct costs incurred for the investment management services for managed funds and other marketing and investor relation services. This includes the costs to raise and deploy capital for such funds. Such costs are recorded as Direct operating costs for IM.
The IM business also includes the allocable portion of the Company’s General and administrative expenses, which represents overhead functions such as: finance and accounting, legal, information technology, human resources and other general functions that support the operations of IM.

GREENBACKER RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPANY LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022 (unaudited)
As previously discussed, the financial statements for all historical periods through May 18, 2022 are presented as they would be under ASC 946. As such, these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the Investment Basis as of and for the period(s) ended March 31, 2022. All references to the “LLC” in these Notes refer to Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (GREC, GREC HoldCo, GREC Administration LLC, and Danforth Shared Services LLC), unless otherwise expressly stated or context requires otherwise.
Note 10.1. Organization and Operations of the LLC
For a detailed description, refer to Note 1. Organization and Operations of the Company as included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial HighlightsStatements as included in the Non-Investment Basis section of Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Prior to May 19, 2022, the LLC was externally managed and is an energy company that acquires, constructs and operates renewable energy and energy efficiency projects as well as finances the construction and/or operation of these and other sustainable development projects and businesses. The LLC conducts substantially all its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, GREC. GREC is a Maryland corporation formed in November 2011, and the LLC currently holds all the outstanding shares of capital stock of GREC. GREC HoldCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of GREC, was formed in Delaware in June 2016. GREC Administration LLC and Danforth Shared Services LLC, both wholly owned subsidiaries of GREC, were formed in Delaware in January 2020 and May 2019, respectively. The consolidated financial results of the LLC have historically included the results of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, GREC, GREC HoldCo, and GREC Administration LLC and Danforth Shared Services LLC, both of which provide administrative services to LLC and its subsidiaries. As of and prior to May 18, 2022, the use of “we”, “us”, and “our” refer, collectively to the LLC, GREC, GREC HoldCo, GREC Administration LLC, and Danforth Shared Services LLC, unless otherwise expressly stated or context otherwise requires.
The LLC was externally managed and advised by GCM, a renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability-related project acquisition, consulting and development company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. GCM was acquired by the LLC as part of the Acquisition on May 19, 2022.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The LLC’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, assumptions and the exercise of subjective judgment as to future uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates, assumptions and judgments. Significant items subject to such estimates will include determining the fair value of investments, revenue recognition, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. As of and prior to May 18, 2022, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the LLC include the accounts of the LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, GREC, GREC HoldCo, and GREC Administration LLC and Danforth Shared Services LLC, both of which provide administrative services to the LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Since inception and through May 18, 2022, the LLC’s Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared using the specialized accounting principles of ASC 946. In accordance with this specialized accounting guidance, also referred to as the Investment Basis, the LLC recognized and carried all its investments, including investments in the underlying operating entities, at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Additionally, the LLC did not apply the equity method of accounting to its investments. The LLC carried its liabilities at amounts payable, net of unamortized premiums or discounts. The LLC did not elect to carry its non-investment liabilities at fair value. Net assets are calculated as the carrying amounts of assets, including the fair value of investments, less the carrying amounts of its liabilities.
The financial information associated with the Consolidated Financial Statements under the Investment Basis has been prepared by management and, in the opinion of management, contains all adjustments and eliminations necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Basis of Consolidation
As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the LLC would generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the LLC. Accordingly, the LLC consolidated in its Consolidated Financial Statements the accounts of certain wholly owned subsidiaries that meet the criteria. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of demand deposits at a financial institution. Such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The LLC has not experienced any losses in any such accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash accounts or letters of credit that are restricted for use on specific investments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the LLC are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of investments, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net unrealized currency gains and losses arising from valuing foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Valuation of Investments at Fair Value
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value. The LLC recognizes and accounts for its investments at fair value. The fair value of the investments does not reflect transaction costs that may be incurred upon disposition of the investments.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is an exchange price notion under which fair value is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability.
GCM has established procedures to estimate the fair value of its investments that the LLC’s Board of Directors has reviewed and approved. To the extent that such market data is available, the LLC will use observable market data to estimate the fair value of investments. In the absence of quoted market prices in active markets, or quoted market prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, the LLC will use the valuation methodologies described below with unobservable data based on the best available information in the circumstances. These methodologies incorporate the LLC’s assumptions about the factors that a market participant would use to value the asset.
The LLC considers investments in money market funds to be short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
For investments for which quoted market prices are not available, which comprise most of our investment portfolio, fair value is estimated by using the cost, income or market approach. The income approach assumes that value is created by the expectation of future benefits, discounted by a risk premium, to calculate a current cash value. This estimate is the fair value: the amount an investor would be willing to pay to receive those future benefits. The market approach compares either recent comparable transactions to the investment or an offer to purchase an investment based upon a qualified bid: a signed term sheet and/or a signed purchase agreement. Adjustments to proposed prices are made to account for the probability of the deal closing, changes between proposed and executed terms, and any dissimilarity between the comparable transactions and their underlying investments. If multiple bids are qualified in the same valuation period, a blended market approach will be calculated.
Prior to the second quarter of 2020, fair value for pre-operational assets was approximated using the cost approach. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, GCM expanded the criteria whereby certain pre-operational assets are identified and qualified for the income approach, rather than the cost approach, for approximating fair value. GCM considers all owned assets that are fully construction ready with no impediments to begin construction and where the costs to complete such projects are well understood for the income approach. The fair value of such eligible projects is determined based upon a discounted cash
37

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
flow methodology. If the portfolio has any significant portion of value that remains subject to negotiation or contract or if other significant risks to complete the project exist, the investment may be held at cost, as an approximation of fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment by GCM.
In determining the appropriate fair value of an investment using these approaches, the most significant information and assumptions include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable comparable market transactions, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the investment’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the project does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, comparable mergers and acquisitions, the principal market and enterprise values and environmental factors, among other factors.
The estimated fair values will not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence or non-occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of the investments, the estimate of fair values may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a broader market for the investments existed.
The authoritative accounting guidance prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1:    Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:    Other significant observable inputs that are sourced either directly or indirectly from publications or pricing services, including dealer or broker markets, for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Generally, these inputs should be widely accepted and public, non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party.
Level 3:    Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data and derived primarily through the use of internal valuation methodologies.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls will be determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of an input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.
Calculation of Net Asset Value
NAV by share class is calculated by subtracting total liabilities for each class from the total carrying amount of all assets for that class, which includes the fair value of investments. NAV per share is calculated by dividing net asset value for each class by the total number of outstanding common shares for that class on the reporting date. For purposes of calculating our NAV, the LLC carries all liabilities at cost.
Earnings per Share
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common members by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis.
The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted net increase in net assets attributed to common members per share and net investment income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 
For the three months ended March 31, 2022

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Revenue Recognition
To the extent the LLC expects to collect such amounts, interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. If there is reason to doubt an ability to collect such interest, interest receivable on loans is not accrued for accounting purposes. Original issue discounts, market discounts or market premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. Prepayment premiums on loans are recorded as interest income when received. Any application, origination or other fees earned by the LLC in arranging or issuing debt are amortized over the expected term of the loan.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal and interest are 90 days or more past due, or when there is a schedulereasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due and principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current.
Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared and determined that collection is probable. The timing and amount of dividend income is determined on at least a quarterly basis and, in certain cases, can only be determined quarterly based on the underlying project company agreements. This process includes an analysis at the individual project company level based on cash available from operations and working capital needed for the project company operations. Dividend income from the LLC's privately held, equity investments is recognized when approved.
Dividend income as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects dividend income from project companies less any expenses incurred by the LLC or GREC for the services provided by Greenbacker Administration directly relating to the ongoing operation of the financial highlightsproject companies.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments
Without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, realized gains or losses will be measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale, repayment, or disposal of an asset and the adjusted cost basis of the Company attributedasset. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Payment-in-Kind
For loans with contractual payment-in-kind interest, if the fair value of the investment indicates that such interest is collectible, any interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and be recorded as income.
Distribution Policy
Distributions to members, if any, will be authorized and declared by the LLC's Board of Directors quarterly in advance and paid monthly. From time to time, we may also pay interim special distributions in the form of cash or shares, with the approval of our Board of Directors. Distributions will be made on all classes of shares at the same time. The cash distributions paid to the shareholder with respect to the Class A, C, I, P-A, P-I, P-D, P-S and P-T shares will be lower than the cash distributions with respect to the LLC’s other share classes because of the distribution fee associated with the Class C, P-S and P-T shares, which is allocated specifically to these classes' net assets. Amounts distributed to each class are allocated amongst the holders of the shares in such class in proportion to their shares. Distributions declared by our Board of Directors are recognized as distribution liabilities on the ex-dividend date.
Organization and Offering Costs
O&O costs other than sales commissions and the dealer manager fee, were initially paid by GCM and/or dealer manager on behalf of the LLC in connection with its formation and the offering of its shares pursuant to now-terminated Registration Statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-178786-01 and File No. 333-211571, respectively).
Prior to the Acquisition, the LLC was obligated to reimburse GCM for O&O costs that it incurred on behalf of the LLC, in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. However, with respect to the LLC’s public offerings, the aggregate of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other O&O costs borne by the LLC was not to exceed 15.00% of gross offering proceeds.
Offering costs incurred by GCM in conjunction with the offering of shares of Class P-A, P-S, P-T and P-D under our private placement memoranda were subject to the reimbursement by the LLC up to 0.50% (50 basis points) of gross offering proceeds for each such class of shares. The costs incurred by GCM prior to the Acquisition and costs incurred by our dealer
39

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
manager were recognized as a liability of the LLC to the extent that the LLC was obligated to reimburse GCM and/or dealer manager. When recognized by the LLC, organizational costs are expensed and offering costs, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees, were recognized as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering. In connection with the Acquisition, all O&O costs due to GCM were paid concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition on May 19, 2022. Following the Acquisition, the LLC is no longer obligated to reimburse GCM for O&O costs.
Financing Costs
Financing costs incurred by the LLC for the issuance of debt liabilities are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the debt liability. Financing costs related to debt liabilities incurred by the LLC are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.
Return of Capital Receivable
For operational assets, if the project company has inadequate cash to fund day-to-day expenses, the LLC will loan funds to that project company through an investment. Once the project company has adequate cash, they will repay the loan by sending a return of capital distribution.
Performance Participation Fee
Under the Fourth Operating Agreement, the incentive fee payable by the LLC was simplified to be structured with two components: the "Performance Participation Fee" and the "Liquidation Performance Participation Fee" (each as defined in Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements). Prior to the Acquisition, the Performance Participation Fee was based on the LLC's total return amount during the relevant calculation period. The calculation of the Performance Participation Fee is further detailed in Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements. The Performance Participation Fee was accounted for and classified as an operating expense and reflected as the Performance participation fee on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Performance participation fee recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is $0.4 million.
Deferred Sales Commissions
The LLC defers certain costs, principally sales commissions and related compensation, which are paid to the dealer manager and may be reallowed to financial advisors and broker-dealers in the future in connection with the sale of shares sold with a reduced front-end load sales charge and a trail fee. The costs expected to be incurred at the time of the sale of the Class C shares are recorded as a liability on the date of sale and represents the aggregate amount due for such costs over the period beginning at the time of sale and ending on the earlier date of (1) when the maximum amount of sales commission and related compensation is reached under regulatory regulations; (2) the date which approximates an expected liquidity event for the LLC; or (3) the expected holding period of the investment. The costs expected to be incurred at the time of the sale of the Class P-T and Class P-S shares are recorded as a liability on the date of sale and represents the aggregate amount due for such costs over the period beginning at the time of sale and ending on the earlier date of (1) the date which approximates an expected liquidity event for the LLC; or (2) the expected holding period of the investment. The upfront liability is calculated at the time of sale, using the 85 basis points per annum fee, multiplied by the expected holding period of such share. Deferred sales commissions for Class C, P-T and P-S are paid monthly, in the form of a reduction to shareholder distributions, to the third-party dealer manager at a rate equal to 1/12th of 85 basis points. The estimated amount of the liability can be updated as management's assumption surrounding an expected liquidity event changes or if the maximum of sales-related commissions and costs under regulatory regulations is attained.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on prior periods’ results.
Derivative Instruments
The LLC may utilize interest rate swaps to modify interest rate characteristics of existing debt obligations to manage interest rate exposure. These are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities with changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps during the period recognized as either an unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. On the expiration, termination or settlement of a derivatives contract, the LLC generally records a gain or loss. When there is a master netting agreement with a financial institution, any gain or loss on interest rate swaps with the same financial institution are netted for financial statement presentation.

By using derivative instruments, the LLC is exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk — the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The LLC’s exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to collateral posted and the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. As appropriate, the LLC minimizes counterparty credit risk through credit monitoring procedures and managing margin and collateral requirements.
During December 2021, the LLC entered into an agreement for the purpose of hedging our investment in a pre-operating solar facility that the LLC has contracted to acquire. The derivative instrument has a trade date of December 15, 2021, an effective date of March 31, 2024 and an initial notional amount of $284.7 million. The fixed rate is 1.60%. Per the terms of the agreement, the swap is contingent on the transaction closing. While the transaction has not yet closed, in order to lock in the terms, the LLC made a payment for the amount of $5.0 million to be maintained as cash collateral.
Income Taxes
The LLC intends to operate so that it will qualify to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. As such, it will not be subject to any U.S. federal and state income taxes. In any year, it is possible that the LLC will not meet the qualifying income exception and will not qualify to be treated as a partnership. If the LLC does not meet the qualifying income exception, the members would then be treated as stockholders in a corporation, and the LLC would become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code, the LLC would be required to pay income tax at corporate rates on its net taxable income. To the extent of the LLC’s earnings and profits, and the payment of the distributions would not be deductible by the LLC, distributions to members from the LLC would constitute dividend income taxable to such members.
The LLC conducts substantially all its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, GREC, which is a corporation that is subject to federal, state, provincial, local and foreign income taxes based on income. Accordingly, most of its operations will be subject to U.S. federal, state, provincial, local and foreign income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it resides. As of March 31, 2022, including territories and provinces, the portfolio resides in 36 jurisdictions.
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liabilities method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between items that are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements and tax returns in different years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
For income tax benefits to be recognized, including uncertain tax benefits, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. A valuation allowance is established against net deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Interest and penalties associated with income taxes, if any, will be recognized in general and administrative expense.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
The LLC does not consolidate its investments for financial statements; rather, it accounts for its investments at fair value under the specialized accounting of ASC 946. The tax attributes of the individual investments will be considered and incorporated in the LLC’s fair value estimates for those investments. The amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements for unrealized appreciation and depreciation will result in a difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements and the cost basis of the assets for tax purposes. These differences will be recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Generally, the entities that hold the LLC’s investments will be included in the consolidated tax return of GREC and the differences between the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes and the tax return will be recognized as additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The LLC follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has concluded it has no material uncertain tax positions to be recognized at this time.
The LLC assessed its tax positions for all open tax years as of March 31, 2022 for all U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions for the years 2015 through 2021. The results of this assessment are included in the LLC’s tax provision and deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is 21.3%. The primary items giving rise to the difference between the 21.0% statutory rate and the 21.3% effective tax rate are primarily state taxes and federal tax credits.
The guidance under FASB Codification ASC 740-10-270-30 establishes the methodology, including the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate, to determine income tax expense (or benefit) in interim financial reporting. ASC 740-10-270-18 provides, in part, if a reliable estimate cannot be made, the actual effective rate for the year to date may be the best estimate of the annual effective rate. Due to the inability to reasonably estimate an annual effective rate, the actual year to date effective rate is being used to determine the income tax provision for the current periods.

In March of 2020, the United States declared a National Emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. This came after the World Health Organization declared the virus a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, the Company has generally been able to conduct its business despite the turmoil in markets and the shuttering of many businesses across the country. We have and will continue to assess the current and future business risks related to COVID-19 as new information becomes available, including any potential performance risk of our power purchase agreement ("PPA") and construction counterparties. As of the date of the filing, we are not aware of any material impact to our financial results.

Note 12. Subsequent Events4. Related Party Agreements and Transaction Agreements (cont.)
Prior to the Acquisition, the LLC had executed advisory and administration agreements with GCM and Greenbacker Administration, which entitled GCM, and certain affiliates of GCM, to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the ongoing management of the LLC as well as reimbursement of O&O costs incurred by GCM on behalf of the LLC (as discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies) and certain other operating costs incurred by GCM on behalf of the LLC. As the LLC’s previous public offering was terminated on March 29, 2019, its former dealer manager will no longer receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees. However, our former dealer manager will continue to receive distribution fees on Class C shares until the maximum amount of commissions and dealer manager fees permitted by applicable regulation is reached.
With respect to Class C shares only, the LLC pays the former dealer manager a distribution fee that accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.80% of the amount of the net asset value for the Class C shares for such day on a continuous basis from year to year. The LLC will stop paying distribution fees at the earlier of 1) a listing of the Class C shares on a national securities exchange; 2) total underwriting compensation in the offering equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering of Class C shares, following the completion of such offering; or 3) Class C shares are no longer outstanding. The dealer manager may re-allow all or a portion of the distribution fee to participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers. The LLC estimated the amount of distribution fees expected to be paid and recorded that liability at the time of sale of such shares. The LLC continues to assess the value of the liability on a regular basis.
The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events throughLLC also reimbursed GCM for the date of issuanceO&O costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) it had incurred on the LLC’s behalf related to the now terminated Registration Statements, only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and the other O&O costs borne by the LLC to exceed 15.00% of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no subsequent events that occurred duringgross offering proceeds as the amount of proceeds increases.
Offering costs incurred by GCM in conjunction with the offering of shares of Class P-A, P-S, P-T and P-D under our current private placement memoranda were subject to the reimbursement by the LLC up to 0.50% (50 basis points) of gross offering proceeds for each such period that would require disclosureclass of shares.
Prior to May 19, 2022, the term “Special Unitholder” referred to GREC Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which was a subsidiary of GCM and “special unit”, referred to the special unit of limited liability company interest in the consolidated financial statements or would be requiredLLC. This entitled the Special Unitholder to be recognizedreceive a Performance Participation Fee.
Prior to the Acquisition, the fees and reimbursement obligations related to the operation of the LLC were as follows:
Type of Compensation and RecipientDetermination of Amount
Base Management Fees — GCM
Prior to July 1, 2021, the base management fee payable to GCM was calculated at a monthly rate of 0.17% (2.00% annually) of our gross assets (including amounts borrowed up to $50.0 million) until gross assets exceed $800.0 million. The base management fee monthly rate decreased to 0.15% (1.75% annually) for gross assets between $800.0 million to $1.5 billion and 0.13% (1.50% annually) for gross assets greater than $1.5 billion. For services rendered under the advisory agreement, the base management fee was payable monthly in arrears, or more frequently as authorized under the advisory agreement. The base management fee was calculated based on the average of the values of our gross assets for each day of the prior month. Base management fees for any partial period were appropriately prorated. The base management fee had the ability to be deferred or waived, in whole or in part, at the election of GCM. All or any part of the deferred base management fee not taken as to any period was deferred without interest and may be taken in any period prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event as determined by GCM in its sole discretion.
On July 1, 2021, the LLC entered into the Advisory Agreement with GCM. Effective July 1, 2021, the base management fee payable to GCM was calculated at a monthly rate of 0.17% (2.00% annually) of the net assets until the net assets exceed $800.0 million. The base management fee monthly rate will decrease to 0.15% (1.75% annually) for net assets between $800.0 million to $1.5 billion and to 0.13% (1.50% annually) for net assets greater than $1.5 billion.
Following the completion of the Acquisition and the termination of the Advisory Agreement, the LLC no longer pays a management fee to GCM.

Type of Compensation and RecipientDetermination of Amount
Performance Participation Fees
Prior to the Acquisition, under the Fourth Operating Agreement, the “Performance Participation Fee” which the Special Unitholder was entitled to was calculated and payable in arrears, for an amount equal to 12.5% of the total return generated by the LLC during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, subject to a hurdle amount of 1.50% (or 6% annualized) (the “Hurdle Amount”), a loss carryforward amount and a fee carryforward amount. The “Total Return Amount” is defined for each quarterly calculation period, as an amount equal to the sum of:

The aggregate amount of all cash distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) during such quarter on the shares outstanding at the end of such quarter, plus

The amount of the change in aggregate NAV of such shares since the beginning of such quarter, before giving effect to (x) changes in the aggregate NAV of such shares during such quarter resulting solely from the net proceeds of issuances and/or repurchase of shares by the LLC, and (y) the amount of any accrual of the Performance Participation Fee during such quarter.
The calculation of the Total Return Amount for each period included any appreciation or depreciation in the NAV of the shares issued during such period but exclude the proceeds from the initial issuance of such shares. The total NAV of the shares outstanding as of the last business day of a calendar quarter was the amount against which changes in the total NAV of the shares outstanding during the subsequent calendar quarter was measured. Furthermore, the “Loss Carryforward Amount” was initially equal to zero and cumulatively increased in any calendar quarter by the absolute value of any negative total return for such quarter and cumulatively decreased in any calendar quarter by the amount of any positive total return. The “Fee Carryforward Amount” was also initially equal to zero, and cumulatively increased in any calendar quarter by (i) the amount, if any, by which the Hurdle Amount (noted above) for such quarter exceeded any positive Total Return Amount for such quarter; and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the catch-up amount for such quarter exceeded excess profits for such quarter. The fee carryforward amount was cumulatively decreased in any calendar quarter by the amount, if any, of the Fee Carryforward Amount paid to the Special Unitholder for such quarter. Neither the Loss Carryforward Amount nor the Fee Carryforward Amount were permitted to less than zero at any given time.
The Special Unitholder shall receive the Performance Participation Fee as follows:

●    if the Total Return Amount for the applicable period exceeded the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for such period and (y) the Loss Carryforward Amount for such Period (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such Excess Profits until the total amount paid to the Special Unitholder equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for such period and (y) any amount paid to the Special Unitholder pursuant to this clause (the “Catch-Up Amount”);

●    to the extent there were remaining Excess Profits after payment of the Catch-Up Amount, 100% of such remaining Excess Profits until such amount paid to the Special Unitholder equaled the amount of the Fee Carryforward Amount for such period; and

●    to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits after payment of the Catch-Up Amount and the Fee Carryforward Amount (as defined above), 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.
The Liquidation Performance Participation Fee payable to the Special Unitholder will equal 20.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of the LLC in excess of adjusted capital, as measured immediately prior to liquidation. Adjusted capital shall mean the LLC NAV immediately prior to the time of a liquidation or a listing. In the event of any liquidity event that involves a listing of the LLC's shares, or a transaction in which the LLC's members receive shares of a company that is listed, on a national securities exchange, the Liquidation Performance Participation Fee will equal 20.0% of the amount, if any, by which the LLC's listing value following such liquidity event exceeds the adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to such listing (the “Listing Premium”). Any such Listing Premium and related Liquidation Performance Participation Fee will be determined and payable in arrears 30 days after the commencement of trading following such liquidity event.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, GCM earned $6.9 million in management fees.
The Performance participation fee recorded on the consolidated financial statements asConsolidated Statement of andOperations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited)is $0.4 million.
As of March 31, 2022, GCM owned 23,601 Class A shares and 2,776 Class P-D shares.
The LLC entered into secured loans to finance the purchase and installation of energy-efficient lighting with LED Funding LLC and AEC Companies. Certain of the loans with LED Funding LLC, converted to a lease on the day the energy efficiency upgrades became operational. AEC Companies are considered related parties, as the members of these entities own an indirect, noncontrolling ownership interest in GCM. The loans outstanding between the AEC Companies and the LLC, and the subsequent leases, were negotiated at an arm’s length and contain standard terms and conditions that would be included in third-party lending agreements, including required security and collateral, interest rates based upon risk of the specific loan, and term of the loan. As of March 31, 2022, all loans and leases are considered current per their terms.
On October 9, 2020, GREC made a $5.0 million LP commitment to GDEV, which was increased to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. In April 2021, the commitment to GDEV increased to $7.5 million. As the initial investor, GREC was awarded a 10.00% carried interest participation in GDEV GP, GDEV's general partner. GDEV is an affiliate of GREC as GDEV shares the same investment advisor as the LLC. As of March 31, 2022, $2.9 million of the commitment was funded.
Note 5. Borrowings
On January 5, 2018, the LLC, through GREC HoldCo, entered into a credit facility agreement (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility consisted of a loan of up to the lesser of $60.0 million or a borrowing base amount based on various solar projects that act as collateral for the Credit Facility, of which approximately $25.7 million was drawn down at closing. The Credit Facility allowed for additional drawdowns through December 31, 2018 and converted to a term loan with a maturity on January 5, 2024.
On June 20, 2019, the LLC, through GREC HoldCo, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility consists of a loan of up to the lesser of $110.0 million or a borrowing base amount based on various solar projects that act as collateral for the credit facility, of which approximately $58.3 million was drawn down at closing. In November 2020, the LLC, through GREC HoldCo, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amends the New Credit Facility to make available a non-revolving line of credit facility that will convert into a term loan facility and a letter of credit facility. The commitments of the lenders aggregate to $97.8 million between existing term loans, future committed loans and letters of credit, of which approximately $90.7 million was drawn at closing. The New Credit Facility allows for additional drawdowns through November 25, 2021, at which point the outstanding loans shall convert to an additional term loan that matures on June 20, 2025.
The LLC used the net proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Facility for investment in additional alternative energy power generation assets that are anticipated to become projects and for other general corporate purposes. Loans made under the New Credit Facility bear interest at 1.75% in excess of the three-month LIBOR. Prior to the New Credit Facility converting to a term loan, quarterly commitment fees on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility were payable at a rate per annum of 0.50%.
Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are back-leveraged and secured by all of the assets of GREC HoldCo and the equity interests of each direct and indirect subsidiary of the LLC. The LLC, GREC and each direct and indirect subsidiary of the LLC are guarantors of the LLC’s obligations under the New Credit Facility. GREC has pledged all of the equity interests of GREC HoldCo as collateral for the New Credit Facility.
Regarding the Credit Facility, the LLC has entered into five separate interest rate swap agreements as economic hedges. The first swap, with a trade date of June 15, 2017, an effective date of June 30, 2018 and an initial notional amount of $20.9 million, was used to swap the floating-rate interest payments on an additional principal amount of the Credit Facility, for a corresponding fixed payment. The fixed swap rate is 2.26%. The second swap, with a trade date of January 11, 2018, an effective date of December 31, 2018 and an initial notional amount of $29.6 million was used to swap the floating-rate interest payments on the remaining unhedged portion of the Credit Facility, as well as the estimated additional drawdowns, for a corresponding fixed payment. The fixed swap rate is 2.65%. The third swap, with a trade date of February 7, 2018, an effective date of December 31, 2018 and an initial notional amount of $4.2 million, was used to swap the floating-rate interest payments on the remaining unhedged portion of the Credit Facility, as well as the estimated additional drawdowns, for a corresponding fixed payment. The fixed swap rate is 2.97%. The fourth swap, with a trade date of January 2, 2019, an effective date of September 30, 2019 and an initial notional amount of $38.2 million, was used to swap the floating-rate interest payments on the
3745

Note 5. Borrowings (cont.)
remaining unhedged portion of the Credit Facility, as well as the estimated additional drawdowns, for a corresponding fixed payment. The fixed swap rate is 2.69%. The fifth swap, with a trade date of February 19, 2021, an effective date of February 26, 2021 and an initial notional amount of $7.1 million, was used to swap the floating-rate interest payments on the remaining unhedged portion of the Credit Facility, as well as the estimated additional drawdowns, for a corresponding fixed payment. The fixed swap rate is 1.64%.
If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the New Credit Facility, the commitments under the New Credit Facility may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the New Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.
On December 6, 2019, GREC entered into a $15.0 million revolving letter of credit facility (“LC Facility”) agreement. On January 30, 2020, the LC Facility was amended to include an equipment loan, and the amount of $5.6 million was drawn down under the equipment facility loan. On March 18, 2020, a repayment of $1.9 million was made, reducing the outstanding balance of the equipment facility loan. On June 9, 2020, a repayment of the remaining outstanding balance occurred. In October 2020, the LC Facility agreement was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount to $22.5 million. On April 1, 2021, the LC Facility agreement was amended to maintain cash collateral in an amount equal to 100.00% of the outstanding obligation and the letter of credit fee was reduced from 2.25% to 0.75%. On June 3, 2021, the LC Facility agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to September 4, 2021. On September 3, 2021, the LC Facility agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to September 4, 2022. On September 28, 2021, the LC Facility agreement was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount to $32.5 million. On February 2, 2022, the LC Facility agreement was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount to $40.0 million.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The LLC adopted a DRP through which the LLC’s Class A, C and I shareholders may elect to have the full amount of cash distributions reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving the cash distributions. The DRP was amended as of February 1, 2021 to include all share classes. Shares issued pursuant to the DRP will have the same voting rights as shares offered pursuant to the LLC’s prior public and current private offerings. As of November 30, 2020, pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3D (File No. 333-251021), the LLC was offering up to $20.0 million in Class A, C and I shares to our existing shareholders pursuant to the DRP. No dealer manager fees, selling commissions or other sales charges will be paid with respect to shares issued pursuant to the DRP except for distribution fees on Class C, P-S and P-T shares. At its discretion, the Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the DRP. The Board of Directors may also modify or waive the terms of the DRP with respect to certain or all shareholders, in its discretion, to be in the best interests of the LLC. A participant may terminate participation in the DRP by written notice to the plan administrator, received by the plan administrator at least 10 days prior to the distribution payment date.
As of March 31, 2022, the LLC issued 2,541,713 Class A shares, 432,886 Class C shares, 1,211,291 Class I shares, 24,360 Class P-A shares, 683,497 Class P-I shares, 1,442 Class P-D shares, 422,358 Class P-S shares and 3,856 Class P-T shares for a total of 5,321,403 aggregate shares issued under the DRP.
Share Repurchase Program
The LLC offers a SRP pursuant to which quarterly share repurchases will be conducted to allow members to sell shares back to the LLC at a price equal to the then current offering price less the selling commissions and dealer manager fees associated with that class of shares.
The SRP includes numerous restrictions that will limit a shareholder’s ability to sell shares. At the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, the LLC may also use cash on hand (including the proceeds from the issuance of new shares), cash available from borrowings and cash from liquidation of investments to repurchase shares.
47

Note 6. Members’ Equity (cont.)
A shareholders’ right to purchase is subject to the availability of funds and the other provisions of the SRP. Additionally, a member must hold his or her shares for a minimum of one year before he or she can participate in the SRP, subject to any of the following special circumstances: (i) the written request of the estate, heir or beneficiary or a deceased shareholder; (ii) a qualifying disability of the shareholder for a non-temporary period of time provided that the condition causing the qualifying disability was not pre-existing on the date that the shareholder became a shareholder; (iii) a determination of incompetence of the shareholder by a state or federal court located in the United States; or (iv) as determined by the Board of Directors, in their discretion, to be in the interests of the LLC. If a member has made more than one purchase of shares, the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each purchase.
Through September 30, 2020, quarterly share repurchases were conducted to allow up to approximately 5.00% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period to be repurchased by the LLC. Effective September 1, 2020, the LLC, through approval by its Board of Directors, adopted an amended SRP, pursuant to which the LLC will conduct quarterly share repurchases to allow members to sell all or a portion of their shares (of any class) back to the LLC. The quarterly share repurchase limits for the LLC's new SRP are set forth below.
Quarter EndingShare Repurchase Limit(s)
December 31, 2020During such fiscal quarter, 1.88% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior four fiscal quarters
March 31, 2021During such fiscal quarter, 2.50% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior four fiscal quarters
June 30, 2021During such fiscal quarter, 3.75% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior four fiscal quarters
September 30, 2021, and each quarter thereafter
During any 12-month period, 20.00% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares

During any fiscal quarter, 5.00% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior four fiscal quarters
The LLC has received an order for the SRP from the SEC under Rule 102(a) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In addition, the SRP is substantially similar to repurchase programs for which the SEC has stated it will not recommend enforcement action under Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act.
Note 7. Distributions
On the last business day of each month, with the authorization of the LLC’s Board of Directors, the LLC declares distributions on each outstanding Class A, C, I, P-A, P-I, P-D, P-T and P-S shares. These distributions are calculated based on shareholders of record for each day in amounts equal to that exhibited in the table below based upon distribution period and class of share.

On May 19, 2022, the Company completed the Acquisition pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the business and assets, including intellectual property and personnel of its external advisor, GCM, an investment management and energy transition, renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability-related project acquisition, consulting and development company that is registered as an investment advisoradviser under the Investment Advisers Act, Greenbacker Administration and certain other affiliated companies. All of 1940,the acquired businesses and assets were immediately thereafter contributed by the Company to GREC. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company operates as amended (“Advisers Act”).a fully integrated and internally managed company with its own dedicated executive management team and other employees to manage its business and operations. The LLC’s fiscal year-end is December 31.Company now operates with the capabilities of both an actively managed owner-operator of sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy businesses and as an active third-party investment manager of other funds within the sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy industry.
OurBusiness Overview
The Company’s business objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our members,its shareholders, consisting of both current income and long-term capital appreciation, by acquiring and financing the construction and/or operation of income-generating renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development projects, primarily within North America. We expectAmerica, as well as by providing investment management services to funds within the sizesustainable infrastructure and renewable energy industry where the Company expects to receive investment management and incentive fees.
The Company operates with the capabilities of both an actively managed owner-operator of renewable energy businesses and as an active third-party investment manager of other funds within the sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy industry. The Company currently operates in two reportable segments described below.
IPP – The IPP business represents the active management and operations of the Company's fleet of renewable energy projects, including those in late-stage development and under construction. The Company's renewable energy projects generally earn revenue through the sale of generated electricity as well as frequently through the sale of other commodities such as RECs. In certain cases, the Company also serves as a minority member in renewable energy projects where it does not actively manage and operate the project but receives periodic dividends. The Company also provides loans to developers for the construction of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects as an incremental revenue stream for IPP.
The IPP business includes the direct costs to operate the Company's fleet, including costs such as operations and maintenance, repairs, and other costs incurred at the project / site level. Additionally, the Company employs a dedicated team of technical asset managers as well as a construction team to oversee the development and operations of our investmentsfleet. Such costs are recorded as Direct operating costs for IPP.
The IPP business also includes the allocable portion of the Company’s General and administrative expenses, which represents overhead functions such as: finance and accounting, legal, information technology, human resources and other general functions that support the operations of IPP.
IM – The IM business represents GCM’s investment management platform — a renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability-related project acquisition, consulting and development company that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The IM business also includes administrative services provided by Greenbacker Administration for managed funds in the renewable energy industry as an additional revenue stream.
The Company's IM business includes the direct costs incurred for the investment management services for managed funds and other marketing and investor relation services. This includes the costs to raise and deploy capital for such funds. Such costs are recorded as Direct operating costs for IM.
The IM business also includes the allocable portion of the Company’s General and administrative expenses, which represents overhead functions such as: finance and accounting, legal, information technology, human resources and other general functions that support the operations of IM.
The segment discussion following, and included in Part II — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within this Quarterly Report, reflects information on our business as of March 31, 2023, and includes the impact of the Acquisition.

Independent Power Producer Segment
Our IPP segment represents the active management and operations of our fleet of renewable energy projects, including those in late-stage development and construction. Our growth strategy for the IPP segment is to continue to build a diversified portfolio of renewable energy, energy efficiency and other sustainability-related projects and businesses.
We target IPP acquisitions that generally range between approximately $5approximately $1 million and $100$250 million. WeWe will seek to maximize our risk-adjusted returns by: (1) capitalizing on market opportunities; (2) focusing on hard assets that produce dependable cash flows; (3) efficiently utilizing government incentives where available; (4) employing creative deal structuring to optimize capital and ownership structures; (5) partnering with experienced financial, legal, engineering and other professional firms; (6) employing sound due diligence and risk mitigation processes; and (7) monitoring and managing our portfolio of assets on an ongoing basis. We may change our investment policies andacquisition strategies without prior notice or membershareholder approval.
Our goal is to assemble a diversified portfolio of renewable energy, energy efficiency and other sustainability-related projects and businesses. Renewable energy projects generally earn revenue through the sale of generated electricity as well as frequently through the sale of other commodities such as RECs and EECs. We initially have focused on solar, wind and energy efficiency projects. We believe solar energy projects generally offer more predictable power generation characteristics due to the relative predictability of sunlight over the course of time compared to other renewable energy technologies, and therefore we expect them to provide more stable income streams. However, technological advances in wind turbines and other energy-generation technologies, as well as government incentives, also make wind energy and other types of projects attractive. Solar energy projects provide maximum energy production during daylight hours in the summer months when days are longer and nights shorter. Solar energy projects tend to have minimal environmental impact, enabling such projects to be developed close to areas of dense population where electricity demand is highest. Solar technology is scalable and well-established, and it is relatively simple to integrate new acquisitions and projects into our portfolio.

Over time, we have broadened our strategy, and expect to continue to broaden our strategy to include other types of renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects and businesses, which may include wind farms, hydropower assets, geothermal plants, biomass and biofuel assets, combined heat and power technology assets, fuel cell assets and other energy efficiency assets, among others, and to the extent we deem the opportunity attractive, other energy and sustainability-related assets and businesses.
Our preferred investmentacquisition strategy is to acquire controlling equity stakes in our target assets or to be named the managing member of a limited liability company in order to oversee and supervise its operations. We define controlling equity stakes as companies in which we own 25% or more of the voting securities of such company, have greater than 50% representation on such company’s board of directors, or as the managing member of a limited liability company. However, we will also provide financing to projects owned by others, including through the provision of secured loans which may or may not include some form of equity participation.
We mayfrom time to time also provide projects with senior unsecured debt, subordinated secured debt, subordinated unsecured debt, mezzanine debt, convertible debt, convertible preferred equity and preferred equity, and make minority equity investments. We mayfrom time to time also participate in projects by acquiring contractual payment rights or rights to receive a proportional interest in the operating cash flow or net income of a project. We may also make equity investments in or loans to parties financing the supply of renewable energy and energy efficiency to residential and commercial customers or adopting strategies that encourage energy conservation to reduce the consumption of energy by those customers. Our ongoing strategy will be tailored tois flexible, and we balance long-term cash flow certainty, which we can achieve through long-term agreements for our projects, with shorter-term arrangements that allow us to potentially generate higher risk-adjusted returns.
We expect to supplement our equity capital and increase potential returns to our membersshareholders through the use of prudent levels of borrowings, both at the corporate level and the project level. In addition to any corporate credit facility or other secured and unsecured borrowings, we expect to use a variety of other financing methods at the project level as necessary, including but not limited to joint venture structures, back leverage loans, construction loans, tax equity bridge loans, property mortgages, letters of credit, sale and leaseback transactions, other lease transactions and other arrangements, any of which may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, we may issue publicly or privately placed debt instruments. When appropriate, we will seek to replace short-term sources of capital with long-term financing.
We have historically focused on solar, wind and energy efficiency projects. We believe solar energy projects generally offer more predictable power generation characteristics due to the relative predictability of sunlight over the course of time compared to other renewable energy technologies, and therefore we expect them to provide more stable income streams. However, technological advances in wind turbines and other energy-generation technologies, as well as government incentives, also make wind energy and other types of projects attractive. Solar energy projects provide maximum energy production during daylight hours in the summer months when days are longer and nights shorter. Conversely, wind energy projects tend to provide more energy production during nighttime hours and during the winter months thus providing a diversified production profile. Solar energy projects vary in size from hundreds of kW to hundreds of MW and tend to have minimal environmental impact, enabling such projects to be developed close to areas of dense population where electricity demand is highest.
Over time, we have broadened our strategy, and expect to continue to broaden our strategy to include other types of renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects and businesses, which may include battery storage, hydropower assets, geothermal plants, biomass and biofuel assets, combined heat and power technology assets, fuel cell assets and other energy efficiency assets, among others, and to the extent we deem the opportunity attractive, other energy and sustainability-related assets and businesses.
As of March 31, 2023, our fleet comprised 456 renewable energy projects with an aggregate power production capacity of approximately 3.4 GW when fully operational, as summarized below.

Our renewable energy projects generate revenue primarily by selling (1) generated electric energy and/or capacity to local utilities and high-quality utility, municipal, corporate and individualin the case of community solar, residential counterparties; and (2) in some cases, RECs EECs and other commodities associated with renewable generation or related incentives. We seek to acquire or finance projects that contain transmission infrastructures and access to power grids or networks that will enable the generated power to be sold. We generally expect our projects will have PPAs with one or more counterparties, including local utilities or other high-credit-quality counterparties, who agree to purchase the electricity generated from the project. We refer to these PPAs as “must-take contracts,” and we refer to these other counterparties as “offtakers.” These must-take contracts in general are output-based and guarantee that all electricity generated by each project will be purchased.
As of March 31, 2023, the PPA contracts in our existing operating fleet have approximately 18 weighted average years remaining prior to exposure to market prices.
Although we intend to work primarily with high-credit-quality counterparties, if an offtaker cannot fulfill its contractual obligation to purchase the power, we generally can sell the power to the local utility or other suitable counterparty, which would potentially ensure that revenue is generated for all solar electricity generation. We may also generate revenue from the receipt of interest, fees, capital gains and distributions from investments in our target assets.
We employ a rigorous credit underwriting process for each of our contractual counterparties, including: (1) identification of high-credit-quality counterparties with appropriate bonding and insurance capacity; (2) where available, the review of counterparty financial statements and/or publicly available credit rating reports; (3) worst-case analysis testing of assets; and (4) ongoing monitoring of acquired assets and counterparty creditworthiness, including monitoring the public credit ratings reports issued by Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s; and (5) reviewing individual FICO scores in regard to residential solar where the homeowner is the counterparty.

Our PPAs, when structured with utilities and other large commercial users of electricity, are generally long-term in nature, tied to 100% of the output of the specific generating asset, and priced at a rate established pursuant to a formula set by the contract. The formula is often dependent upon the type of subsidies, if any, offered by the local and state governments for project development.asset. Although we focus on projects with long-term contracts that ensure

price certainty, we may also look for projects with shorter-term arrangements that will allow us to participate in market rate changes, which may lead to higher current income.
A number of the PPAs for our projects are structured as “behind the meter”“behind-the-meter” agreements with residential, commercial or government entities. Under the agreements, all electricity generated by a project will be purchased by the offtaker at an agreed-upon rate that may be set at a slight discount to the retail electric tariff rate for the offtaker. These agreements also typically provide for annual rate increases over the term of the agreement, although that is not a necessary requirement. The behind the meterbehind-the-meter agreement is generally long termlong-term in nature, and further typically provides that, should the offtaker fail to fulfill its contractual obligation, anyin some cases electricity that is not purchased by the offtaker may be sold to the local utility, usually at an equivalent wholesale spot electric rate.rate, more typically the projects would have remedies available in terms of make whole and termination provisions that seek to satisfy the required economics of the deal.

Acquisition of Pre-Operating Assets
We believe that the hallmark of a successful acquisition strategy is the ability to take advantage of new opportunities and adjust to changing market conditions. Over the years, the Company observed an increase in the opportunities to participate in projects that were largely similar to our operating assets in terms of the long-term risks, but which promised additional returns if we could manage additional risks in the early stages of the investment lifecycle. As a result, we expanded our investment capabilities to include four basic investment categories:
1.Operating Assets – We will continue to acquire and invest in solar, wind and other alternative energy assets that are already in commercial operation and generating investment returns through the sale of contracted electricity and environmental attributes.
2.Assets before their COD – We will also purchase assets that have structured somebeen constructed by developers but have not been placed in service. Functionally these assets are generally ready to generate electricity but have not reached a milestone known as PTO with the local utility or COD. While we have determined that a modest investment premium could be obtained by investing before PTO and COD, most importantly the term of the contracted cash flows is maximized through this strategy.
3.Assets at NTP – We further determined that we could invest in assets that had not yet been constructed but that had received substantially all of the contracts necessary to operate and permits necessary to begin construction, a milestone
58

Table of contents
known as NTP. While potentially riskier than operating or pre-COD projects due to the level of construction risk, we believe that the additional return associated with these projects more than compensates for the additional risk. Furthermore, when we invest in NTP assets we generally have the added benefit of having more control of equipment selection and implementation of construction best practices, which positively affects the long-term performance of our previous investments in residential solar with similar commercial arrangements to thoseplants. With the continued growth of the PPAs with utilities and other large commercial users of electricity of our energy projects, as described above.
We currently finance energy efficiency projects, which seek to enable residential customers, businesses and governmental organizations to consume less energy while at the same time providing the same or greater level of amenity. Financing for energy efficiency projects is generally used to pay for energy efficiency retrofits of buildings, homes and businesses, and replacement of other inefficient energy-consuming assets with more modern technologies. These projects are structured to provide predictable long-term cash flows by receiving a portion of the energy savings and the potential sale of associated RECs and EECs generated by such installations. In each of our renewable energy and energy efficiency investments, we intend, where appropriate, to maximize the benefits of renewable portfolio standards ("RPS") as well as other U.S. federal, state and local government support and incentives for the renewable energy industry.
In October 2020, Greenbacker Development Opportunities Fund I, LP ("GDEV") was launched to make private equity and development capital investmentsmarket, driven by increases in the sustainable infrastructure industry. GREC's investmentlevel of Renewable Portfolio Standards in GDEV is synergisticseveral states and the recent passage of the IRA, we identified a significant number of NTP transactions coming to market and an opportunity to develop strong pipeline-type relationships with the Company's core business, and it is expecteddevelopers of these projects. Besides increasing returns to retain and strengthen existing developer relationships,investors, this has enabled management to substantially increase our access to a proprietary pipeline of sound projects.
4.Special Situations – We also determined there are market opportunities for selected projects driven by either technical or financial issues, either at the project or owner level, that can be resolved by accessing the broad range of expertise we have in-house to deal with our day-to-day operations. Therefore, we determined that on a limited basis we would make investments that have these characteristics, since by resolving the issues, we have the potential to generate attractive returns. We believe that the number of developer relationships withinthese “distressed” assets may increase materially over the Company going forward,coming years.
In order to execute this broader investment strategy, we have built a dedicated team of technical asset management professionals. We now have a team of experienced engineers, operations and maintenance experts, and construction professionals, which enabled us to expand our investment focus into these additional categories of investment. In addition to the expansion of our current investment strategy as laid out above, having a team of experienced engineers and construction managers increases our ability to extract revenue from aging renewable energy assets through repowers and plant optimization. Having access to this level and breadth of expertise is a major competitive advantage for us in the marketplace.

We believe that acquiring renewable energy projects across the four categories discussed above provides the best opportunity for us to generate incrementalattractive returns over the medium term, diversify our portfolio, and create a proprietary pipeline of sound investment opportunities for future growth. The downside of this approach is that investing in pre-operational solar and wind projects has a negative impact on near-term cash flows as material amounts of our capital is invested in non-yielding assets. To minimize the Company and givedownside effects of the Company insightsstrategy, management continues to explore more sophisticated financing tools to enable us to direct more of our investable capital into new markets and trends withincurrent income-generating investments going forward. As the industry.size of our portfolio grows, our ability to access more sophisticated financial products increases.

CompanyCompany's Fifth Operating Agreement does not impose limitations on the amount of borrowings we may employ, either at the corporate level or the project level. We expect that we willOur current policy is to generally target a leverage ratio of up to $2 of debt for every $1 of equity on our overall portfolio,acquisition strategy for IPP, with individual allocations of leverage based on the mix of asset types and obligors; however, we will in no event exceed a leverage ratio of $3 of debt for every $1 of equity, unless any excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors. In addition to any corporate-level credit facility or other secured and unsecured borrowings, we expect to use other financing methods at the project level as necessary, including joint venture structures, back leverage loans, construction loans, tax equity bridge loans, property mortgages, letters of credit, sale and leaseback transactions, other lease transactions, and other arrangements, any of which may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, we may issue publicly or privately placed debt instruments. Our indebtedness may be recourse or non-recourse and may be cross-collateralized. In addition, we may invest in assets subject to existing liens, or may refinance the indebtedness on assets acquired on a leveraged basis. We may use the proceeds from any borrowings to acquire assets, refinance existing indebtedness, finance investments, fund distributions or for general corporate purposes. In addition to these financing methods, we may utilize tax equity structures to monetize U.S. federal income tax attributes.

General Market Overview for Alternative Energy Projects
The U.S. electric consumer expects a virtually error-free, consistent supply of sufficient electricity at all times for all purposes. The U.S. power industry, which includes energy generation and transmission, is structured to ensure a sufficient, constant supply of energy to all end usersend-users to meet varying demand requirements on a minute-by-minute basis.Historically, the mix of electricity supply was dependent largely on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas as well as nuclear and hydroelectric power.However, this is changing rapidly due to the rise of renewable energy.energy and the ongoing electrification of the transportation fleet. According to the EIA, as late as 2014, fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and gas supplied about 67% of

the U.S.’s energy requirements. Since then, however, there has been a shift in the mix highlighted by a substantial rise in renewables, which grew to 22% of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (the “EIA”power generation mix in 2022. The EIA expects this trend to continue, estimating that in 2023 renewables will rise to 24% of the U.S.’s power generation mix (and continue to increase in 2024). The advance of renewable energy has also created new opportunities in adjacent energy transition investments including energy storage and grid enhancements. Furthermore, advances in electric vehicle adoption have created a substantial need for investment in charging stations and other related infrastructure.
According to BloombergNEF (“BNEF”), renewable energy, represented 20%which includes wind, solar, biofuels, and other renewables, remained the largest sector in investment terms, achieving a new record of U.S. electricity generation$495 billion committed in 2021, a percentage which they expect to more than double over2022, up 17% from the next two decades. Renewableyear prior.1
We believe that renewable energy isand the energy transition are poised to gain even more market share, over the decades to come, driven largely by several supportive trends:

The decline of coal. The U.S. coal industry is rapidly declining in the face of lower-cost natural gas and renewable energy, andas well as regulations designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect public health.

The EIA expects coal-burning power plants will account for the majority of retiring utility scale power generation in 2023.
Falling price of renewables.renewables and storage. The cost of renewable energy particularly solar and wind,energy storage has fallen substantially over the past decade, making renewable energy the lowest-cost provider of new generation in many markets.

State mandates. State requirementsStates' clean energy goals and mandates to use more renewable energy sources have contributed to the historic growth of renewables and are likely to drive further growth.

Federal support. Availability of government policy and other financial incentives for building new renewable capacity has supported the case for renewables when they were priced.

This includes the passage of the IRA.
Environmental concerns. Reliance on fossil fuels has resulted in excessive production of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, which has been identified as one of the major causes of global climate change and numerous other environmental issues.This has led to growing support among the voting public for an energy transition based upon renewable energy.

The result of these and other factors is that renewable energy has gone from being a niche player in energy markets to being widely perceived as the present and future of energy generation in the United States.

We anticipate that these trends will acceleratecontinue accelerating the growth of renewable energy, particularly solar and wind for power generation and batteries for storage.

The U.S. Renewable Energy Industry Has Been a High-Growth Market

The market for renewable energy has grown rapidly over the past decade. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, worldwide investmentthe EIA, renewables will now account for 24% of U.S. electric generation in 2023. In 2022, renewable generation topped $366energy sources generated over 1,087 billion in 2021, a trend which iskWh of electricity and are expected to continue.

generate more than 1,109 billion kWh of power in 2023.
The U.S. Renewable Energy Industry Is Expected to Be a High-Growth Market for Decades

We believe that demand for renewable energy will continue to grow as countries seek to reduce their dependence on outside sources of energy, and as the political and social climate continues to demand social responsibility on environmental matters. The EIA anticipates that consumption of renewable energy and the need for additional battery storage will grow significantly by 2050, supported by decreasing technology costs, as well as wind and solar incentives.

Energy Transition Investments Have Grown Substantially and Are Expected to Continue
In addition, supported in part by federal tax creditsAccording to BNEF, annual global investment in the early partenergy transition has more than quadrupled in the past decade, reaching new heights each year of that period. In 2022, energy transition investments topped $1 trillion for the projection period, U.S. federal renewable fuel standards and state RPS, non-hydropower renewable generating capacity is expected to grow at a faster rate than fossil fuel capacity, according tofirst time, significantly surpassing the previous record of $849 billion in 2021.

believevariety of structures including tax equity financing, construction loan financing, tax equity bridge loan financing, back leverage loan financing, and subordinated non-recourse financing to help fund our operations. Our ability to raise capital from tax equity investors and lenders is also affected by general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, inflation levels, and concerns about our industry or business. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further details on capital raising and the effective management of our capital structure.
Tax equity is an important source of financing for renewable energy projects. The federal government first introduced renewable energy tax credits with the Energy Tax Act of 1978, with the aim of supporting sustainable energy infrastructure and reducing dependence on foreign and non-renewable energy sources. The Act allowed businesses and individuals to reduce their tax bills by a percentage of the amount they spent on qualified investments in property and equipment for solar and wind energy (up to certain limits). These tax benefits have expanded in the decades since, and today the federal government offers renewable energy investors larger tax credits, along with other incentives. The wide appeal of these tax benefits has given rise to a robust tax equity market with sophisticated capital market participation. A tax equity investor — which could be a financial institution, insurance company or corporation — contributes capital based on construction milestones in exchange for a share of the tax credits (and other tax benefits such as accelerated depreciation) and cash flows generated by a qualifying physical investment.
There are two main tax federal credits provided for renewable energy projects:
1.    ITC: This tax credit is equal to 30% of a renewable energy or energy storage project’s eligible cost.
2.    PTC: This tax credit currently stands at 2.75 cents per kWh of electricity generated during the first 10 years of operation.
In general, our tax equity investments are structured using the "partnership flip" structure. Under partnership flip structures, we and our tax equity investors contribute cash into a partnership to fund the acquisition of renewable energy or energy storage systems. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, tax equity fund commitments become available. The conditions precedent to funding vary across our tax equity funds but generally require that we have entered into a PPA with a credit worthy offtaker, the renewable energy system is expected to be eligible for the Section 48(a) ITC or Section 45(a) PTC, there is currently a shortage of capital available to satisfyrecent appraisal from an independent appraiser establishing the demandsfair market value of the renewable energy sectorsystem, certain construction milestones are met and verified by an independent engineer and the property is in an approved state or territory. Initially, the United States and around the world, particularly with respect to newly developed small and mid-size projects and businesses. In addition, muchtax equity investor receives substantially all of the capital that is available is focused on larger projects that have long-term offtaker contracts in place and does not allow project ownersnon-cash value attributable to take any “merchant” or investment risk with respect to RECs. We believe many project developers are not finding or are encountering delays in accessing capital for their projects. As a result, we believe a significant opportunity exists for us to provide new forms of capital to meet this demand. With our permanent capital structure, we are ideally suited for investments in long-term assets likethe renewable energy systems and energy efficiencystorage systems, which includes accelerated depreciation and other sustainability-related projects.
Section 48(a) ITCs or Section 45(a) PTC; however, we typically receive a majority of the cash distributions, which are generally paid quarterly. These allocations then flip once certain time or yield based milestones are met. Time based flips occur on a set date after a five-year recapture period while yield based flips occur after the tax equity investor achieves a specified return typically on an after-tax basis. After the flip occurs, we receive substantially all of the cash and tax allocations.
Current Competition in the Alternative Energy - Solar Marketplace
The solar financing market started as a cottage industry where developers would bring together high-net-worth investors to fund single solar and wind transactions. Though successful in jump startingjump-starting the industry, true capital formation is a relatively new phenomenon and is not as well developed as in other asset classes. Currently in the alternativerenewable energy — solar marketplace, there are several sources of capital:
Developer/Owner Operators. The major competition we face in the market for the assets we target comes from privately backed developer/owner operators. The capital from these organizations has generally been sourced from a combination of family offices/private equity funds and hedge funds. These organizations are generally set up as developers, with investment return expectations in the 20-30%20%-30% range.
However, to facilitate the most favorable exit for the sponsors, the developer/owner operators seek to accumulate a significant portfolio of operating assets to provide a base level of stable and predictable earnings for the enterprise. Through a combination of developer profits and leverage they can generate satisfactory ongoing returns, with the bulk of the upside being generated for the sponsors through the exit. Particularly in circumstances where equity markets experience a downturn, we are of the opinion this group of buyers will ultimately be capital constrained.
Single-Purpose Limited Partnerships. These entities are typically funded by high-net-worth individuals or family offices and are generally focused on a small number of deals, as they have a limited amount of capital to invest.
Institutional Investors and Utilities. These are funded by institutional investors, includingComprised of large life insurance companies, pension funds, infrastructure funds, and infrastructure funds.large public utilities. This sector dominates investment in the larger projects (e.g., $100,000,000$100.0 million or

greater). We tend not to encounter this group in our middle market Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) sector but do see these players when targeting the markets we target because scale is always an important consideration for larger institutions.projects in our portfolio.
In management’s view, the Company has been competitive in bidding for solar assets against all these sources of capital and maintains a significant pipeline of deals which can be consummated as offering proceeds are raised.
Opportunities in Solar Power Today
Solar is again expected to be the leading source of new utility scale capacity in 2023, accounting for 54% of new electric-generating capacity.
We believe that the greatest opportunity exists within the Small Utility Scale, Commercial Solarsmall utility scale, commercial solar and Community Solar segmentscommunity solar sectors of the market. In the Small Utility Scalesmall utility scale market, the Company can buy assets with similar commercial attributes to the Large Utility Scalelarge utility scale projects — investment-grade offtaker, same equipment and warranties, same operations and maintenance service provider — but where returns are higher.
We have also noted a growing trend among U.S. corporations to work with developers and financiers to provide renewable power for their operations. Driven by a desire to save money, create certainty around long-term electricity prices and support green marketing initiatives, the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segmentC&I sector is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting parts of the renewable energy project market. These deals tend to be smaller than Utility Scaleutility scale solar, which fits well with our strategy of focusing on the lower middle market segmentsector of the industry.
A number of U.S. states have adopted programs that encourage the development of Community Solarcommunity solar projects, where groups of companies, municipalities and individuals can buy renewable power from solar and wind plants that are located within the customers' utility zone. While there are certain complexities associated with such projects, we are closely monitoring the rapid growth of this segment.sector.
In our view, there is a significant opportunity to aggregate portfolios of high-quality Small Utility Scale, Commercial Solarsmall utility scale, commercial solar and Community Solarcommunity solar projects working withthat have experienced developers looking for a reliable and sustainable source of capital to increase the certainty of their closing transactions. As a result, we have been focusing on building relationships with respected developers with a view toward acquiring pipelines of projects rather than one-off deals.

Table of contents
By working closely with developers to efficiently close their transactions, we are seeking to create a sustainable competitive advantage which will lead to recurring and consistent deal flow. Importantly, our strategy is differentiated from the developer/owner operators mentioned above, because we do not seek to compete with the developers. Rather, we work with developers so that they can focus their activities on development while we focus on the financing and long-term ownership of their developments.developed assets. This symbiotic alignment of interests ishas proven to be mutually beneficial and symbiotic.
beneficial.
Current Competition in the Alternative Energy — Wind Marketplace
ForWe believe that market conditions remain favorable for wind development and, according to the EIA, the U.S. wind industry 2021 was one of its strongest yearis expected to date, with 14add 6.0 GW of new wind capacity installed, according to the EIA. That growthin 2023 and is expected to continue, with the EIA reporting thatadd another 107.0 GW of wind capacity is already expected to come online in 2022.
Thus, current market conditions remain favorable for additional wind development throughout 2022.2024. Particularly for smaller middle market transactions involving assets similar to those in our current portfolio, we believe that we will continue to be competitive in bidding for wind assets. We also believe that we may see opportunities to purchase operating wind assets which have run through their tax credits.
Opportunities in Wind Today
We believe that the middle market segment presents the best opportunities for investment. This sector faces less competition for assets than the large utility scale sector, which tends to be fully banked.highly competitive. Furthermore, we believe that targeted investments in select wind opportunities provide us with increased diversification of cash flows stemming from the fact that wind assets tend to perform better in the winter months, while solar tends to perform better in the summer months.
We believe that this countercyclical diversification is highly beneficial in managing our cash flows throughout the year. We also believe that we are well positioned to find investabletarget assets in this sector, assector. In the past two years alone, we have acquired over 200 MW of wind assets over the past two years.assets. These purchases have enabled us to build relationships with respected developers, whichwith whom we may be able to work with in the near future.
General Market Overview for Battery Storage
62

In the first quarterTable of contents
According to Mercom Capital, in 2022, annual corporate funding in the battery storage sector was up 222%reached a record high $26.7 billion across more than 120 deals, marking an increase of 55% from the previous quarter, totaling $12.9$17 billion across 26 corporate funding deals, according to Mercom Capital. This wasseen in 2021 driven by falling costs, particularly in certain battery chemistries such as lithium-ion.According to a recent analysis by Lazardin its “Levelized Cost of Storage Analysis (LCOS 6.0),” storage costs have declined across most use cases and technologies, particularly for shorter-duration applications.In addition,long-duration Long-duration storage has begun to gainbeen gaining particular traction as a commercially viable solution to challenges created by intermittent energy resources such as solar or wind. Additionally, under the IRA—and for the first time ever—standalone projects are now eligible for the 30% ITC.
Due to its potential for rapid growth, as well as new state mandates rapidlyand falling costs for both short-term and long-term storage, we believe battery storage represents a large and growing investment opportunity we believe, for the foreseeable future.
Investment Management Segment
Our IM segment represents GCM’s investment management platform – a sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability-related asset management company that focuses on project acquisition, financing, consulting and development and that is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. The Company believes that the IM business will enable it to further diversify its revenue streams through investment management and certain administrative services for investment funds on behalf of external stakeholders that invest in adjacent areas of the sustainable infrastructure space. GCM’s platform will allow the Company to raise and deploy capital for the managed funds, consistent with our overall mission and expanding our ability to positively impact social and environmental challenges.
Since inception, GCM’s management team has developed significant commercial relationships and capital raising processes across multiple industries that we can continue to develop and grow. Both the IPP business and IM business have complementary growth strategies that will provide the Company with diversification in its revenue streams, as well as give us several alternate ways of raising capital, decreasing our reliance upon public capital markets for growth. Additionally, we expect that the combination will enable the Company to benefit from cost savings through the sharing of overhead and through the elimination of management fees that were formerly being charged to the Company by its external investment manager. We believe that this has the potential to result in an increase in the value of the Company, as the fully integrated and internally managed company will represent a platform that can take advantage of many market opportunities while at the same time reducing the Company's overhead and increasing its profitability through the inclusion of IM revenue streams.
The services performed by our IM business include capital raise and deployment, marketing, and other investor relations functions, as well as technical asset management, finance and accounting, and other administrative services for managed funds in the sustainable infrastructure renewable energy industries.
The primary source of IM revenues are management fees earned. Management fee revenue earned by our IM business is generally based upon the underlying net asset value of the managed funds for which GCM provides investment management services. For certain of our IM customers, the Company is also eligible to receive certain performance-based incentive fees.
An additional revenue source for IM will include, for certain managed funds, administrative services performed by Greenbacker Administration. These services include technical asset management, finance and accounting, legal and other costs incurred by the Company in performing its administrative services. GCM managed funds will be charged their allocable portion of such costs with no margin.
Prior to the Acquisition, GCM served as the external manager of four investment entities – the Company, GROZ, GDEV I, and GREC II. The Advisory Agreement between GCM and the Company was terminated in connection with the Acquisition. However, the Company continues to provide, through GCM, investment management services to GROZ, GDEV I and GREC II as a result of the acquisition of GCM. In addition, the Company now provides, through GCM, investment management services to GDEV II. A summary of the managed funds is included below.
Greenbacker Renewable Opportunity Zone Fund
GROZ is an investment vehicle dedicated to investing in renewable energy investment opportunities that are located within “Qualified Opportunity Zones” as designated by the Internal Revenue Service, in order to capture the potential growth from, and the advantages offered under, the JOBS Act. Qualified Opportunity Zones target lower income communities in the United States that, with capital investment, have significant potential for economic development and job creation. GROZ is now closed to new investment.
Base management fees under GCM's advisory fee agreement with GROZ are calculated at a monthly rate of 0.125% (1.50% annually) of the average gross invested capital for GROZ. The Company is also eligible to receive certain performance-based incentive fee distributions from GROZ, including upon liquidation of GROZ, subject to certain distribution thresholds as defined in the amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement of GROZ.

In October 2020, GDEV was launched to make private equity and development capital investments in the sustainable infrastructure industry. GREC’s investment in GDEV is synergistic with the Company’s core business, and it is expected to help retain and strengthen existing project developer relationships, increase the number of developer relationships that do business with the Company going forward, generate incremental investment opportunities for the Company and give the Company insights into new markets and trends within the industry. GDEV B was launched in March 2022 as a parallel fund to GDEV.
As the initial investor, GREC was awarded a 10.00% carried interest participation in GDEV GP, GDEV I’s general partner. The amended and restated limited partnership agreements of GDEV I provide for a 20.00% carried interest over an 8.00% hurdle, subject to side letter agreements. On May 19, 2022, the Company acquired a 75.00% equity interest stake in GDEV GP.
In conjunction with the Acquisition and specifically the acquisition of a 75.00% equity interest in GDEV GP, the Company also assumed GDEV GP's additional commitment to GDEV and gained control over GDEV GP. Additionally, the Company through the GDEV GP’s role as general partner of GDEV, assumed operational control over GDEV. As a result of the Company consolidating GDEV during the period from May 19, 2022 through November 17, 2022, the management fee revenue earned under the advisory agreement with GDEV was considered intercompany revenue and is therefore eliminated in consolidation. On November 18, 2022, GREC sold its investment in GDEV to an unrelated third party. As of March 31, 2023, GDEV GP held 3.70% of the interests in GDEV. The Company has determined that it no longer has the obligation to absorb losses of GDEV, nor the right to receive benefits from GDEV that could be potentially significant to GDEV, and therefore, no longer consolidates GDEV. As a result of the deconsolidation of GDEV on November 18, 2022, management fee revenue is no longer eliminated and is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In March 2022, GCM closed GDEV I to new investors and launched a successor fund called GDEV II, which also aims to make private equity and development capital investments in the sustainable infrastructure industry.
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company II, LLC
GREC II was launched in May 2022 and is an investment vehicle that intends to acquire, own and operate renewable energy projects with an emphasis on up-and-coming areas of the energy investment sector, including battery storage, mobility and other related investments. GREC II is structured as a total return vehicle which is expected to prioritize long–term internal rates of return over near-term cash yields. GREC II intends to deploy into pre-construction and operating renewable energy projects, as well as energy efficiency, battery storage, mobility and other related investments. The Company is eligible to receive management fees, as well as certain performance-based incentive fees from GREC II under the advisory agreement.

Seasonality
Certain types of renewable power generation may exhibit seasonal behavior. For example, wind power generation is generally stronger in winter than in summer as wind speed tends to be higher when the weather is colder. In contrast, solar power generation is typically stronger in the summer than in the winter. This is primarily due to the brighter sunshine, longer days and shorter nights of the summer months, which generally result in the highest power output of the year for solar power. Because these seasonal variations are relatively predictable for these types of assets, we factor in the effects of seasonality when analyzing a potential acquisition in these target assets. Therefore, the impact that seasonality may have on our business, including the income from our renewable energy projects, will depend on the diversity of our acquisitions in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other sustainability-related projects in our overall portfolio. However, to the extent our acquisitions are concentrated in either solar or wind power, we expect our business to be seasonal based on the mix of renewable power generation technology.
Presentation of Key Factors Impacting Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
The results of our operations are affected by a number of factors, and will primarily depend on, among other things, the supply of renewable energy assets in the marketplace; the revenues we receive from renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and businesses; the market price of electricity; the availability of government incentives; local, regional and national economies; general market conditions; and the amount of our assets that are operating versus those that are non-operating because they are currently under construction includingand the cost to construct such assets. Additionally, our operations are impacted by interest rates and the cost of financing provided by other financial market participants. Many of the factors that affect our

operating results are beyond our control. The results of our operations are further affected by the growth of GCM's investment management platform and the related generation of management fee and incentive fee revenue. Additionally, our results of operations will be impacted by our ability to achieve synergies and economies of scale expected from the Acquisition.
General Market Risks

Our business and the success of our strategies are affected by global and national economic, political and market conditions generally and also by the local economic conditions where its assets are located. Certain external events such as public health crises, including the COVID-19 and its variants, natural disasters and geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, have recently led to increased financial and credit market volatility and disruptions, leading to record inflationary pressure, rising interest rates, supply chain issues, labor shortages and recessionary concerns. Although more normalized activities have resumed and there has been improvement due to global and domestic vaccination efforts, at this time we cannot predict the full extent of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and the economy as a whole. Additionally, in response to recent inflationary pressure, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other global central banks have raised interest rates in 2022 and have indicated likely further interest rate increases. The full impact of such external events on the financial and credit markets and consequently on our financial conditions and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be fully predicted. We will continue to monitor these events and will adjust our operations as necessary.
Size of portfolio.Fleet
The size of our portfoliofleet of investmentsoperating renewable energy projects is a key revenue driver. Generally, as the size of our portfoliofleet grows, the amount of incomerevenue we receive will increase. In addition, our portfoliofleet of investmentsrenewable energy projects may grow at an uneven pace, as opportunities to make investments in our target assets may be irregularly timed, and the timing and extent of GCM’s success in identifying such assets, and our success in acquiring such assets, cannot be predicted. Lastly, other than management fees, most of our expenses are of a fixed nature. Therefore, expenses as a percentage of net assets are reduced as the net assets of the Company increase.
Pre-operational and non-earning assets. The increasing amount of pre-operational and non-earning assets (defined as deposits and other cash investments not currently generating a material investment return) in our portfolio is a significant factor in our revenue and net asset value. The amount of cash invested in these pre-operational and non-earning assets reducesCredit Risk

We believe these assets, once operational or income generating, will provide returns consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.
Credit risk. We encounter credit risk relating to:to (1) counterparties to the electricity and environmental credit sales agreements (including PPAs)power purchase agreements) for our projects;projects, (2) counterparties responsible for project construction and hedging arrangements;equipment supply, (3) companies in which we may invest;invest and (4) any potential debt financing we or our projects may obtain. WeWhen we are able to do so, we seek to mitigate credit risk by entering into contracts with high-qualityhigh quality counterparties. However, it is still possible that these counterparties may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to us.
If counterparties to the electricity sales agreements for our projects or the companies in which we invest are unable to make payments to us when due, or at all, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. While we seek to mitigate construction-relatedconstruction related credit risk by entering into contracts with high-qualityhigh quality EPC companies with appropriate bonding and insurance capacity, if the EPCs to the construction agreements for our projects are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to us, our financial condition and results of operation could be materially adversely affected.
Pre-Operational Assets
The increasing amount of pre-operational renewable energy projects in our IPP business is a significant factor in our future revenue streams. As the Company acquires additional pre-operational assets, we must finalize construction and reach commercial operations before revenue is generated. We believe these assets, once operational, will generate significant operating revenues and cash flow for our business.
Electricity Prices
Investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and businesses expose us to volatility in the market prices of electricity. Although we generally seek projects that have long-term contracts, ranging from 10 to 25 years, which mitigate creditthe effects of volatility in energy prices on our business, to the extent that our projects have shorter term contracts that have the potential of producing higher risk-adjusted returns, such shorter term contracts may subject us to risk by deploying a comprehensive review and asset selection process, including worst-case analysis and careful ongoing monitoring of acquired assets, as well as mitigation of negative credit effects through back-up planning. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses may occur that could adversely impact our operating results.should energy prices change.
Electricity prices. AllGenerally, our projects benefit from take-or-pay agreements, with terms structured to take 100% of the power output. We believe the take-or-pay nature of our contracts is a significant factor in managing our exposure to the daily volatility of the electricity market prices. On average, the contracts in our existing operating portfolio have approximately 16 yearsan approximate remaining priorlife of 18 years.
Impact of Government Incentives

Table of contents
The renewable energy and energy efficiency sector attracts significant U.S. federal, state and local government support and incentives to exposureaddress technical barriers to market prices. The credit standingthe deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and to promote the use of renewable energy and energy-saving strategies. These U.S. federal, state and local government incentives have historically functioned to increase (1) the revenue generated by, and (2) the equity returns available from, renewable energy projects. Energy efficiency projects are also eligible to receive government incentives at the U.S. federal, state and local levels that can be applied to offset project development costs. Governments in other jurisdictions also provide several types of incentives.
Corporate entities are eligible to receive benefits through tax credits, such as PTCs, ITCs, tax deductions, accelerated depreciation and U.S. federal grants and loan guarantees (from the U.S. Department of Energy, for instance), as described below.
U.S. Federal Incentives:
Corporate Depreciation: Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (“MACRS”)
Under MACRS, owners of renewable energy and some energy efficiency projects can recover capital invested through accelerated depreciation, which reduces the payment of corporate tax. Bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) of the contract counterparty is a particular focus in situations whereInternal Revenue Code was extended and modified by the contracts have a price escalator. Escalating contracts create an incentive for the counterparty to not continue to perform if the contract pricing deviates materially from the market price. If the contract is with a public or investment-grade entity, we have generally been confident that the contract terms will be honored. The only exception might apply in situations where rising electricity prices could create pressure around a political change at the state or local level.
Due to the take-or-pay natureTax Cuts and Jobs Act of the contracts, we believe the Company is largely insulated from the daily volatility of electricity market prices. Nevertheless, we monitor these markets to stay abreast of developments in the industry as they occur. Over recent years, we have seen a lot of volatility in gas prices some of which has translated into movements in electricity prices.
Electricity pricing is a function of a range of factors. The price of gas is just one component. Electricity prices also include: (1) a recovery2017 (“TCJA”). Businesses can now immediately deduct 100% of the cost of eligible property in the year it is placed in service, through 2022. For property placed in service in 2023, the bonus depreciation percentage will drop to 80%, and then phase down by 20% each year until it expires after 2026. Also, the TCJA eliminated the rule that made bonus depreciation available only for new property. The changes in the TCJA provided more flexibility than the prior bonus depreciation rules in that they permit a taxpayer to depreciate an asset that is not new; however, the asset must be acquired from a third party in an arm’s-length sale.
Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden signed the IRA into law, ratifying the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history. The IRA’s $369 billion federal package is designed to enhance U.S. energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase domestic development, employment, and investment in the clean energy sector, and ultimately tackle the climate crisis. This landmark legislation makes decarbonization a national priority of the United States and serves as an acknowledgement of the urgency of the global climate crisis.
According to Princeton University's Rapid Energy Policy Evaluation and Analysis Toolkit Project (“REPEAT”), the IRA would drive nearly $3.5 trillion in cumulative capital investments into the energy industry through the next decade and cut annual emissions in 2030 by an additional ~1 billion metric tons below current policy, which would be 50% below 2005 levels. REPEAT projects an increase to 49 GW of solar deployed per year by 2025, which is approximately five times higher than capacity additions in 2020.
The IRA provides strong tailwinds to the renewable energy industry – amongst other provisions, the long-awaited increases to the ITCs and PTCs are expected to improve economics for wind, solar, and storage projects.

State Incentives:
Renewable Portfolio Standards
While varying based on jurisdiction, RPS specify that a portion of the power utilized by local utilities must be derived from renewable energy sources. States have created these standards to diversify their energy resources, promote domestic energy production an encourage economic development. Certain states have also adopted CES, which includes all sources of energy that have zero carbon emissions. According to the EIA, 36 states and the District of Columbia have enacted RPS or CES programs, set mandates, or set goals that require utilities to include or obtain a minimum percentage of their energy from specific renewable and other clean energy sources. Under the RPS programs, utilities can (1) build or own renewable energy generation facilities, (2) purchase energy or RECs generated from renewable energy generation facilities, or (3) pay a penalty for any shortfalls in meeting the RPS.
Renewable Energy Credits
RECs are used in conjunction with compliance with an RPS program or as tradable certificates that represent a certain number of kilowatt hours of energy that have been generated by a renewable source or that have been saved by an energy efficiency project, which provide further support to renewable energy initiatives. RECs are produced in conjunction with the generation plant; (2)of renewable energy and can be used for state RPS compliance or traded or sold to load-serving entities or to third parties, brokers and other market makers for investment purposes. Many states have specific compliance carve-outs for different types of renewable generation.
Feed-In Tariffs
Certain U.S. states and provinces of Canada have implemented feed-in tariffs (“FITs”) that entitle the laborrenewable energy producer to operate it; (3)enter into long-term contracts pursuant to which payment is based on the cost of generation for the diverse types of renewable energy projects. In addition to transport the fuel to the plant; (4) the cost to wheel the power to the customer; and (5) the cost to administer the utility. Thus, gas price volatility can have an impactdifferences in FITs based on the delivered pricetype of electricity, thereproject, FITs vary based on projects in

FITs are other factors influencing the end price.available to anyone including homeowners, business owners, farmers, as well as private investors. The tariffs are typically designed to ratchet downward over time to both track and encourage technological change.
The U.S. Energy Information Agency of the Department of Energy anticipates that electricity prices will rise annually by between 2.5% and 3.0% nationally for the next 20 years (on a nominal basis). Assuming the price at which we sell the power under our contracts is set at a discount to the current electricity price, and the escalator (to the extent there is one) is less than 2.5% per annum, we expect the contracted price will remain close to, if not below, the market price of electricity throughout the entire term of the contract.
Changes in market interest rates.Market Interest Rates
To the extent that we use debt financing with unhedged floating interest rates, or in the case of any refinancing, general increases in interest rates over time may cause the interest expense associated with our borrowings to increase. This would decreaseincrease, and the value of our debt investments.investments to decline. Conversely, general decreases in interest rates over time may cause the interest expense associated with our borrowings to decrease and the value of our debt investments to increase.
Market conditions.Management Fee and Incentive Fee Revenue
Following the completion of the Acquisition, we no longer pay management fees or incentive fees, which had historically increased in correlation to the size of our portfolio. However, following the completion of the Acquisition, we will generate management fee and incentive fee revenue from the provision of investment management services through GCM’s platform. We believewill also earn administrative revenue, which will represent a reimbursement of costs incurred for such services for certain of our managed funds.
General and Administrative Expenses
Following the completion of the Acquisition, our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of direct employee compensation costs. In addition, our general and administrative expenses include certain professional fees, consulting, and other general and administrative expenses not previously incurred based upon our externally managed structure. Given our current team and structure, we expect that demandas our portfolio grows, we will experience reduced increases in general and administrative expenses in the next few years after 2022, such that those expenses will grow at a slower rate than the overall portfolio and corresponding revenues.
Key Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations
As a result of the Acquisition and other steps taken by the Company to transition the focus of the Company’s business from being an investor in clean energy projects to a diversified independent power producer coupled with an investment management business, the Company was required to transition the basis of its accounting. Since inception, the Company's historical financial statements have been prepared using the investment company basis of accounting in accordance with ASC 946. ASC 946, or Investment Basis, requires that if there is a subsequent change in the purpose and design of an entity, the entity should reevaluate its status as an investment company. Based on the above noted changes, management determined the Company no longer exhibited the fundamental characteristics of and no longer qualified as, an investment company as defined in ASC 946. As a result, the Company was required to discontinue the application of ASC 946 and, in connection therewith, began applying other non-investment company U.S. GAAP prospectively beginning May 19, 2022 (the closing of the Acquisition).
As the change in status occurred during the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2022, the results of operations as included in this Quarterly Report have been presented as they would be for alternative formsan investment company under ASC 946 for all historical periods presented through May 18, 2022, and presented as they would be under the Non-Investment Basis, for the time period subsequent to May 19, 2022, the effective date of energy from traditional fossil-fuel energythe change in status. Given that the financial statements prior to and subsequent to the change in status are not comparable, the Company will continuepresent separate Consolidated Financial Statements, including footnotes as applicable, for the time periods prior to growand subsequent to May 19, 2022.
In order to provide investors with more meaningful information regarding results of our operations, we present the following discussion of our results of operations. This information does not purport to represent our historical consolidated financial information, and it is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations. However, in light of the significant differences that will exist between our future financial information and our historical consolidated financial information due to our transition to a Non-Investment Basis, as countries seek to reduce their dependence on outside sources of energy andwell as the political and social climate continues to demand social responsibility on environmental matters. Notwithstanding this growing demand, particularly with respect to small and mid-size projects and businesses that are newly developed,Acquisition, we believe that a significant shortagethis presentation will be useful to investors in understanding the historical performance of capital currently exists inour assets.
Impact of Transition to Non-Investment Basis
As noted above, for periods prior to the market to satisfy the demandscompletion of the renewable energy sectorAcquisition, our assets are reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value as opposed to historical cost. In addition, our Consolidated Statements of Operations do not reflect revenues and other income or operating and other expenses from these assets. Instead, these Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the change in the United States and around the world.
Manyfair value of the traditional sourcesour assets, whether realized or unrealized. Income from our assets consists of equity capital for the renewable energy marketplace were attracted to renewable energy projects based on their ability to utilize ITCs and tax deductions. We believe that due to changes in their taxable income profiles that have made these tax incentives less valuable, these traditional sources of equity capital have withdrawndistributions from the market. In addition, much ofentities when received, or expected to be received, to the capital that is available is focused on larger projects that have long-term offtake contracts in place and does not allow project owners to take any “merchant” or investment risk with respect to RECs. We believe many projectextent distributed

developers arefrom the estimated taxable earnings and profits of the underlying asset owning vehicle and as a return of capital to the extent not finding, or are encountering delays in accessing, capitalexcess of estimated taxable earnings and profits. Because the majority of our assets consist of equity investments in entities established to own and operate our renewable energy projects, the majority of the revenue we generate is presented in the form of dividend income. Dividend income is not equivalent to the gross revenue produced at the project level, but is instead the amount of free cash that is distributed from the project entities to us from time to time after paying for their projects.all project-level expenses, remitting principal payments not funded by us, and complying with any specific project-level debt and tax equity covenants. Thus, the presentation of investment income in our historical financial statements differs from the traditional presentation shown in the financial statements of entities not prepared in accordance with ASC 946 and, most notably, is not equivalent to revenue as presented in financial statements not prepared in accordance with ASC 946.
Impact of Management Internalization
We completed the Acquisition on May 19, 2022. Accordingly, our financial statements under Non-Investment Basis reflect our transition to an internally managed structure. As a result, we believe a significant opportunity exists for usour financial statements no longer include the payment of management fees to provide new formsGCM and now include the direct compensation expense associated with all of capital to meet this demand.our employees following the Acquisition.
Regulatory matters. Regulatory and tax policy atThe Company also has, by acquiring GCM, an active third-party investment management business which is currently managing four funds. This resulted in the federal and state levels tends to be forward looking rather than retrospective. As a result, we do not see many regulatory or tax issues impacting any assets we already own or buy during the operation of a particular regulatory or tax regime.
Future changes, which could impact the returns on future transactions, will be factored into our buying decisions. In the past, we have seen government policy drive a lot of development activity. For example, when the government announces the phasing out of a tax incentive, developers race to get projects to a stage that ensures the project qualifies for the incentive. Policy-driven activity is generally short lived, but can skew the investment supply and demand dynamic.
From the federal perspective, changes in tax and regulatory policy could negatively affect prospective returns. Federal tax incentives are comprised of MACRS depreciation and the ITC. MACRS results in accelerated depreciation of renewable assets over a 5.5-year period. Given the wide application of MACRS to other asset classes, we believe it is less susceptible to change than the ITC. The ITC is a tax incentive that allows an investor to take up to 30%Company recording management fee revenue as of the installed cost of a solar system as a federal tax credit. This rule was extended at the end of 2015, and again in December 2020, with the credit amounts incrementally lowered over the next few years, from 26% in 2021 to 22% in 2023; to 10% in 2024 and beyond.
Other kinds of regulatory changes that could negatively impact returns include the introduction of some kind of value-added tax either at the federal or state level, changes to property tax regimes, or any kind of targeted tax on the income of renewable energy generation assets. None of these possible changes appear likely any time soon, but it is impossible to predict the future with any real certainty.
Generally, the policy changes that have occurred over the past decade at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy have been very positive for renewables: stronger emission regulations and other mandates improving the case for renewable energy assets. In addition, in 2018, the U.S. imposed tariffs on photovoltaic (“PV”) panels imported to the U.S., which could have an impact on overall U.S. demand.
The regulatory market for electric power is highly fragmented, with each state having significant influence over the functioning of its respective market. As the primary regulator for utilities, states have implemented widely divergent policies. For example, some states allow utilities to be vertically integrated — producers of power as well as operators of the grid. Other states have separated those functions entirely.
We believe that this market diversity is a benefit for our program. States have been highly adept at advancing programs designed to benefit renewable energy, with or without federal government support. There are currently 31 states and the District of Columbia that have developed a renewable portfolio standard. As a result, we see state regulatory issues as a shifting mosaic of opportunities where some markets will present opportunities while others become less attractive on a prospective basis.
COVID-19 Impact
In March of 2020, the United States declared a National Emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. This came after the World Health Organization declared the virus a global pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, the Company has generally been able to conduct its business despite the turmoil in markets and the shuttering of many businesses across the country. We have and will continue to assess the current and future business risks related to COVID-19 as new information becomes available, including any potential performance risk of our PPA and construction counterparties. As of theeffective date of the filing, weAcquisition, which is expected to grow in future periods.

Energy Revenue
Energy revenue within the IPP segment primarily represents revenues associated with the sale of electricity under our long-term PPAs as well as from REC sales. The Company also generates energy revenue from capacity markets, whereby revenue is generated for our ability to meet peak demand if and when needed. The Company also generates revenues through performing energy optimization services for customers, which includes providing a battery storage system and services.
Intangible assets and liabilities recognized from PPAs and REC contracts related to the sale of energy or RECs in future periods for which the fair value has been determined to be less (more) than market are amortized to revenue over the term of each underlying contract on a straight-line basis.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated $37.8 million of Energy revenue which includes $30.5 million of PPA revenue and is driven by the underlying electricity production from our operating renewable energy projects. PPA revenue is impacted by the underlying availability of the natural resource (i.e., wind or solar) and the underlying mix of operating assets by technology type.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Energy revenue was primarily comprised of PPA contracts of $30.5 million. The Company’s operating wind fleet, which includes 16 operating assets comprising 386.1 MW of capacity, generated $16.2 million in PPA revenue from 305,628 MWh of production during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s operating solar fleet, which includes 298 operating assets comprising 958.2 MW of capacity, generated $12.8 million in PPA revenue from 255,225 MWh of production during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The remaining PPA revenue generated during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was from our biomass and battery storage assets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $5.9 million in REC and other incentive revenue, primarily from its operating solar fleet, which is included in Energy revenue in the table above and on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net non-cash amortization expense of $5.0 million driven by favorable PPA and REC contract intangible assets, net of the impact of out-of-market contracts, which is reflected as a reduction to total IPP revenue in the table above and on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The table below provides summary statistics on the IPP fleet as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Given the Company’s change in status, the Energy revenue recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations is for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Investment Management
Revenue
The IM segment and the related revenue will be driven primarily by GCM’s investment management platform through management fee and incentive, performance-based fee revenues from current and future third-party funds managed by GCM. The IM segment also generates administrative revenue from certain of its managed funds, from services performed by Greenbacker Administration.
The primary source of IM revenues are management fees and performance participation fees earned. Management fee revenue earned by our IM business are generally based upon the underlying net asset value of the managed funds for which GCM provides investment management services, primarily relating to capital raise and deployment as well as other investor relation functions for third party funds. For certain of our IM customers, the Company is also eligible to receive certain performance-based incentive fees.
An additional revenue source for the IM segment will include, for certain managed funds, administrative services performed by Greenbacker Administration. These services include technical asset management, finance and accounting, legal and other costs incurred by the Company in performing its administrative services. GCM managed funds will be charged their allocable portion of such costs with no margin.
Revenue from the IM segment was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and was generated from the managed funds discussed previously. GREC II was launched in May 2022 and is currently in its fundraising stage and is deploying capital into pre-construction and operating renewable energy projects, as well as energy efficiency, battery storage, mobility and other related investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company earned $0.5 million in management fees from GREC II.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company manages its business as two operating segments and two reportable segments – IPP and IM. Segment information is consistent with how the CODM reviews the business, makes resource allocation decisions, and assesses performance.

The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s CODM allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments. See Part II — Item 1 — Note 20. Segment Reporting, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under the Non-Investment Basis for more information regarding our segment determination.

The Company's CODM evaluates the financial performance of Presentationeach segment using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes: (i) unallocated corporate expenses; (ii) interest expense; (iii) income taxes; (iv) depreciation expense; (v) amortization expense (including contract amortization); (vi) accretion; (vi) share-based compensation; (vii) other non-recurring costs that are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company's segments; and (viii) amounts attributable to our redeemable and non-redeemable controlling interests. Additionally, the Company does not allocate foreign currency gains and losses, other income and losses, change in fair value of contingent consideration (if any), and unrealized gains and losses to our operating segments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the operating performance of our consolidated business (Adjusted EBITDA and FFO). Each of these measures should not be considered in isolation from or as superior to or as a substitute for other financial statements are preparedmeasures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net income (loss) or operating income (loss). The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting its operations.
You are encouraged to evaluate the adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA and FFO, including the reasons the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. The presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and FFO should not be construed as an inference that the future results the Company will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
The Company further utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to determine the NAV and MSV of our shares.

Table of contents
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a performance measure, as well as for internal planning purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in providing a measure of core financial performance adjusted to allow for comparisons of results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis, as it includes adjustments relating to items that are not indicative on the ongoing operating performance of the business.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before: (i) interest expense; (ii) income taxes; (iii) depreciation expense; (iv) amortization expense (including contract amortization); (v) accretion; (vi) amounts attributable to our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests; (vii) unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments; (viii) other income (loss); and (ix) foreign currency gain (loss). Additionally, the Company further adjusts for the following items described below:
Share-based compensation is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as it is different from other forms of compensation as it is a non-cash expense and is highly variable. For example, a cash salary generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requireshas a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the useexpense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of estimates, assumptionscash ultimately received by the employee, and the exercise of subjective judgment ascost to future uncertainties.
Although we are organized and intend to conduct our business in a manner so that we are not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the specialized accounting principles of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”). In accordance with this specialized accounting guidance, the Company recognizesis based on a share-based compensation valuation methodology and carries all its investments, including investments in the underlying operating entities, at fair value with changesassumptions that may vary over time;
The change in fair value recognized in earnings. Additionally, the Company will not apply the equity method of accounting to its investments. The Company carries its liabilities at amounts payable, net of unamortized premiums or discounts. The Company does not currently plan to elect to carry its non-investment liabilities at fair value. Net assets are calculated as the carrying amounts of assets, including the fair value of investments, less the carrying amounts of its liabilities.
Basis of Consolidation
As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing servicescontingent consideration, which is related to the Company. Accordingly,Acquisition, is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, if any such change occurs during the Company consolidates in its consolidated financial statementsperiod. The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments are based on the accountsexpected achievement of certain wholly owned subsidiariesrevenue targets that meetare difficult to forecast and can be variable, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate; and
Other costs that are not consistently occurring, not reflective of expected future operating expense and provide no insight into the criteria. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment Classification
We classifyfundamentals of current or past operations of our investments by level of control. “Control Investments”business are investments in companies in which we own 25% or moreexcluded from Adjusted EBITDA. This includes costs such as professional fees incurred as part of the voting securities of such company, have greater than 50% representation on such company’s board of directors, or that are limited liability companies for which we aretransition to the managing member. “Affiliate Investments” are investments in companies in which we own 5% or more,Non-Investment Basis and less than 25%other non-recurring costs unrelated to the ongoing operations of the voting securities of such company. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are investmentsCompany.
Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure used by management that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Because our consolidated financial statements are preparedis not calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 946, we do not consolidate companies in which we have Control Investments, nor do we apply the equity method of accounting to our Control Investments or Affiliate Investments.
Valuation of Investments
Our Advisor, in conjunction with an independent valuation firm when necessary, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors, is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of investments. In that regard, the Advisor has established policies and procedures, which have been reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, to estimate the fair value of our investments, which are detailed below. Any changes to these policies and procedures are required to be approved by our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

At the direction of our Board of Directors, the independent valuation firm will review valuations prepared by GCM for the appropriate application of its valuation policies and the appropriateness of significant inputs used in the valuation models by performing certain limited procedures, which will include a review of GCM’s estimates of fair value for each investment and providing an opinion that GCM’s estimate of fair value for each investment is reasonable. The independent valuation firm may also provide direct assistance to GCM in preparing fair value estimates if the Board of Directors approves such assistance. In the event that the independent valuation firm is directly involved in preparing the fair value estimate, our Board of Directors has the authority to hire a separate valuation firm to review that opinion of value.

FFO
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a performance measure to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain non-recurring items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the business.
FFO is calculated using Adjusted EBITDA less the impact of interest expense (excluding the non-cash component) and distributions to tax equity investors under the financing facilities associated with our IPP segment. The Audit CommitteeCompany does not include any distributions made to GDEV limited partners in the calculation of FFO. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the distributions to the limited partners were the result of an exit from a historical investment whereby GDEV collected on an existing loan made to a third-party and distributed a portion of the proceeds to the limited partners. The Company excludes these distributions as the underlying source of distribution (collection of a loan) is not recorded within Adjusted EBITDA and is therefore not a component of our earnings from operations.
The Company believes that the analysis and presentation of FFO will enhance our investor’s understanding of the ongoing performance of our operating business. The Company will consider FFO, in addition to other GAAP and non-GAAP measures, in assessing operating performance and as a proxy for growth in distribution coverage over the long-term.
FFO should not be considered in isolation from or as a superior to or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

4.Our Boardour NAV is intended to be a calculation of Directors reviews the valuations and approves the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on input of GCM, the independent valuation firm, if any, and the Audit Committee.
Loan investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, interest and amortization payments) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value using current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in determining the fair value of our loansassets less our outstanding liabilities as described below and will differ from the book value of our equity reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements as prepared under the Non-Investment Basis. Under the Non-Investment Basis, we are required to issue Consolidated Financial Statements based on historical cost in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To calculate our NAV for the purpose of establishing a purchase and repurchase price for our shares, we have adopted a model, as explained below, that adjusts the value of our assets and liabilities from historical cost to fair value generally in accordance with the U.S. GAAP principles set forth in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).
To calculate our NAV, the Company has established procedures to estimate fair value of its investments generally in accordance with ASC 820 that the Company’s Board of Directors has reviewed and approved. To the extent that such market data is available, the Company uses observable market data to estimate the fair value of investments. In the absence of quoted market prices in active markets or quoted market prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, the Company uses the valuation methodologies described below with unobservable data based on the best available information in the circumstances. These methodologies incorporate the Company’s assumptions about the factors that a market participant would use to value the asset.
For investments for which quoted market prices are not available, which comprise most of our investment portfolio, fair value is estimated by using the cost, income or market approach. The income approach assumes that value is created by the expectation of future benefits, discounted by a risk premium, to calculate a current cash value. This estimate is the fair value: the amount an investor would be willing to pay to receive those future benefits. The market approach compares either recent comparable transactions to the investment or an offer to purchase an investment based upon a qualified bid: a signed term sheet and/or a signed purchase agreement. Adjustments to proposed prices are made to account for the probability of the deal closing, changes between proposed and executed terms, and any dissimilarity between the comparable transactions and their underlying investments. If multiple bids are qualified in the same valuation period, a blended market approach will be calculated.
The Company considers all assets that are fully construction ready with no impediments to begin construction and where the costs to complete such projects are well understood for the income approach. The fair value of such eligible projects is determined based upon a discounted cash flow methodology. If the portfolio has any significant portion of value that remains subject to negotiation or contract or if other significant risks to complete the project exist, the investment may be held at cost, as an approximation of fair value. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment by management.
In determining the appropriate fair value of an investment using these approaches, the most significant information and assumptions include, as applicable: debtavailable current market data, including relevant and applicable comparable market transactions, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the project’sinvestment’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the project does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer business entitiescompanies that are public, comparable mergers and acquisitions, comparables and the principal market and enterprise values and environmental factors, among other factors.
Equity investments are also valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example net cash flows or earnings) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value using current market expectations about those future amounts.
In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in determining the fair value of our equity investments include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, the project’s earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the project does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer business entities that are public, mergers and acquisitions comparables, the principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.
OTC derivatives including swap contracts are valued daily using observable inputs, such as quotations provided by an independent pricing service, the counterparty and broker dealers, whenever available and considered reliable.
We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC Topic 820 clarifies that the fair value price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability; that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. ASC Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value that focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. In addition, ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels of valuation hierarchy established by ASC Topic 820 are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Other significant observable inputs that are sourced either directly or indirectly from publications or pricing services, including dealer or broker markets, for identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Generally, these inputs should be widely accepted and public, non-proprietary and sourced from an independent third party.
Level 3: Inputs derived from a significant amount of unobservable market data and derived primarily through the use of internal valuation methodologies.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls will be determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to each investment.

Our Board of Directors has approved the selection of an independent valuation firm to review our Advisor’sthe Company’s valuation methodology and to work with our Advisor and officersmanagement to provide additional inputs for consideration by our Audit Committee and to work directly with our fullThe Company’s Board of Directors at the Board of Directors’ request, with respect to the fair value of investments. For example, our Board of Directors may determine to engage more than one independent valuation firm in circumstances in which specific expertise of a particular asset or asset class is needed in connection with the valuation of an investment. In addition, GCM will recommend to our Board of Directors thatCurrently, one quarter (25%) of ourthe Company’s investments will be valuedreviewed by an independent valuation firm each quarter, on a rotating quarterly basis. Accordingly, each such investment would be reviewedis evaluated by an independent valuation firm at least once per year.
Our Board of Directors will have the ability to review our Advisor’s valuation methodologies each quarter in connection with GCM’s presentation of its valuation recommendations to the Audit Committee. If during the period between quarterly board meetings, GCM determines that significant changes have occurred since the prior meeting of the Board of Directors at which it presented its recommendations on the valuation methodology, then GCM will also prepare and present recommendations to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of its proposed changes to the current valuation methodology. Any such changes to our valuation methodologies will require the approval of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors. We will disclose any change in our valuation methodologies, or any change in our investment criteria or strategies, that would constitute a fundamental change in a registration statement amendment prior to its implementation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The fair value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rate at the end of each reportingtwelve-month calendar period. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of investments, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net unrealized currency gains and losses arising from valuing foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Calculation of Net Asset Value
Net asset value by share class is calculated by subtracting total liabilities for each class from the total carrying amount of all assets for that class, which includes the fair value of investments. Net asset value per share is calculated by dividing net asset value for each class by the total number of outstanding common shares for that class on the reporting date. For purposes of calculating our NAV, we expect to carry all liabilities at cost.
The determination of the fair value of ourthe Company’s investments requires judgment, especially with respect to investments for which market quotations are not available. For most of ourthe Company’s investments, market quotations willare not be available. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Because the calculation of ourCompany’s NAV is based, in part, on the fair value of ourCompany’s investments as determined by our Advisor, which is an affiliated entity of the Company,management, our calculation of NAV is to a degree subjective and could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of ourthe Company’s investments were materially higher than the values that wethe Company ultimately realize upon the disposal of such investments. Furthermore,
The following table reconciles total equity per our Consolidated Balance Sheets prepared under the fair valueNon-Investment Basis as of March 31, 2023 to our investments, as reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, may be materially different from the valuation as determined by an independent valuation firm.
Revenue Recognition
To the extent the Company expects to collect such amounts, interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. If there is reason to doubt an ability to collect such interest, interest receivable on loans and debt securities is not accrued for accounting purposes. Original issue discounts, market discounts or market premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. Prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities are recorded as interest income when received.NAV:

Upon the change in status, this fair value accounting is no longer applicable, and the Company presents on a consolidated basis the underlying assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries in accordance with the applicable U.S. GAAP.
The following details the adjustments to reconcile total equity as determined under U.S. GAAP to NAV:
Noncontrolling Interests
Under the Non-Investment Basis, the Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those of its subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial and/or voting interest. Refer to Note 17. Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Non-Investment Basis) for further discussion; and
The Company excludes NCI for purposes of determining NAV as to remove the portion of net assets that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. This includes the allocation of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Accumulated Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments
Our renewable energy assets are presented at historical cost and all debt facilities are recorded at their carrying value in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under U.S. GAAP. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our renewable energy assets or our debt are amortized overnot recorded in U.S. GAAP equity. For purposes of determining NAV, our renewable energy projects and project level debt are recorded at fair value. As a result, we include the expected termaccumulated unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of our renewable energy projects and project level debt in NAV. The inception-to-date accumulated unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of our renewable energy projects as determined under the loan.

Non-accrual loans are generally restored to accrual status when past due and principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current.
Dividend income is recorded when dividends are declared and when it is determined that collection is probable. The timing and amount of dividend income is determined on at least a quarterly basis. This process includes an analysis at the individual project company level based on cash available from operations and working capital needed for the project company operations. Dividend income from our privately held equity investments is recognized when approved.

As such, the adjustments reflect net cash flow from operations, are declared, accrued and paid.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments
Without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, realized gains or losses will be measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale, repayment, or disposal of an asset and the adjusted cost basis of the asset. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change(depreciation) in investment values during the reporting period, including any reversalfair value of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.our renewable energy projects and project level debt from May 19, 2022 and prospectively; and
Organization Costs
Organization costs are expensed on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred.
Offering Costs
Offering costs include all costs to be paid by the Company in connection with the offering of its shares, including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, chargesThe fair value of the Company’s escrow holder, transfer agent fees, due diligence expense reimbursements to participating broker dealers included in detailedderivative instruments, which represent interest rate swap contracts, and itemized invoices, and costs in connectionthe related unrealized gain (loss) are already recorded within U.S. GAAP equity.

When recognized by the Company, offering costs will be recognized ashedging activities associated with interest rate volatility on project level debt.
The following table provides for a reductionbreakdown of the proceeds from the offering.
Deferred Sales Commissions
The Company defers certain costs, principally sales commissions and related compensation, which are paid to the dealer manager and may be reallowed to financial advisors and broker dealers in the future in connection with the salemajor components of shares sold with a reduced front-end-load sales charge and a trail fee. The costs expected to be incurred at the time of the sale of the Class C shares were recordedour NAV as a liability on the date of sale and represent the aggregate amount due for such costs over the period beginning at the time of sale and ending on the earlier date of (1) when the maximum amount of sales commission and related compensation is reached under regulatory regulations; (2) the date which approximates an expected liquidity event for the Company; or (3) the expected holding period of the investment. The costs expected to be incurred at the time of the sale of the Class P-T and Class P-S shares were recorded as a liability on the date of sale and represent the aggregate amount due for such costs over the period beginning at the time of sale and ending on the earlier date of (1) the date which approximates an expected liquidity event for the Company; or (2) the expected holding period of the investment. The estimated amount of the liability can be updated as management's assumption surrounding an expected liquidity event changes or if the maximum of sales-related commissions and costs under regulatory regulations is attained. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a liability for deferred sales commissions in the amount of $4,319,552 and $4,626,626, respectively.2023:
Financing Costs
Financing costs related to debt liabilities of the LLC, GREC or GREC HoldCo are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.

Monthly Share Value
In addition to apply the amendmentsdescription above to determine our non-GAAP NAV, we have adopted a model, as explained below, that adjusts NAV to MSV. The Company offers shares pursuant to the DRP and accepts repurchases under the SRP. Both the DRP and the SRP are based upon the current MSV per class in effect.
We calculate our MSV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our Board of Directors. As a general rule we will continue to monitor the valuation of the Company’s entire investment portfolio on a daily basis and make adjustments to the NAV and MSV as necessary as soon as is practical thereafter to reflect any changes in market conditions that materially impact the value of our shares.On the last business day of every month, the Company will consider the appropriateness of the MSV. As part of that consideration, it will consider the current market values of our liquid and illiquid investment portfolios.
MSV is the basis for: (1) determining the price offered for contract aseach class of any date fromour shares pursuant to the beginningDRP and the price per share that is paid to shareholder participants in our SRP; and (2) the value of an interim periodinvestment in our shares, as shown on each shareholder’s periodic customer account statement. While we believe our MSV calculation methodologies are consistent with standard industry practices, there is no rule or regulation that includesrequires we calculate MSV in a certain way. MSV should not be considered equivalent to stockholders’ equity or any other U.S. GAAP measure.
The Company’s quarterly process to determine MSV per share class is subsequent to March 12, 2020. Asperformed in accordance with procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The MSV per share class as of March 31, 2022, we have2023 was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The accrued shareholder servicing fee represents the accrual for the full cost of the shareholder servicing fee for Class P-S, Class P-T and Class C shares. Under U.S. GAAP and NAV, we accrued the full cost of the shareholder servicing fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum shareholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class P-S, Class P-T and Class C shares. For purposes of our MSV, we recognize the shareholder servicing fee as a reduction of MSV on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt;a monthly basis as such fee is paid; and
the date on which weUnder GAAP and NAV, organization costs are deemedexpensed as incurred and offering costs are charged to equity as such amounts are incurred.

The JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we are choosing to opt out of that extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Revenues
As the majority of our assets consist of equity investments in entities established to own and operate our renewable energy projects, the majority of the revenue we generategenerated prior to the Acquisition is in the form of dividend income. Dividend income is not equivalent to the gross revenue produced at the project level, as included in the Non-Investment Basis, but is instead the amount of free cash that iswas distributed from the project entities to the CompanyLLC from time to time after paying for all project-level expenses, remitting principal payments not funded by the Company,LLC, and complying with any specific project-level debt and tax equity covenants.covenant, less any expenses incurred by the LLC or GREC for services provided by Greenbacker Administration directly relating to the ongoing operations of the project companies. Thus, the presentation of investment income in our financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements as prepared under the Investment Basis differs from the traditional presentation shown in the financial statements or entities not prepared in accordance with ASC 946 and, most notably, is not equivalent to revenue as one might expect to see in financial statements not prepared in accordance with ASC 946.under the Non-Investment Basis.
The timing and amount of dividend income to be distributed to the Company is determined on at least a quarterly basis by the Company. This process includes an analysis at the individual project entity level of the cash available from operations and necessary working capital needed for the proper daily operations of the project. As a general rule, the dividend income from our

equity investments is recognized as income only when it is received by the Company or expected to be received by the Company immediately after each quarter end, whereas the undistributed income is retained within the project entities (i.e., included in working capital of the project company) and is added to the carrying value of those investments on the balance sheet. The other major component of our revenue is interest income earned on ourthe LLC's debt investments, including loans to developers and loans made directly or indirectly to renewable energy projects. Dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 totaled $12,547,447 and $5,252,663, respectively,$12.5 million, while interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and secured loans (including the amortization of origination and other fees) amounted to $750,254 and $946,010, respectively.
The increase in dividend income from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of operating assets and completion of construction assets during the latter part of 2021 into 2022.
During 2022, the fair value of our investments increased from $1,436 million as of December 31, 2021 to $1,586 million as of March 31, 2022, or a 10.5% increase. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we have approximately $450 million and $384 million in pre-operational and non-earning assets, respectively, which amounts to 22.0% and 20.2% of our gross investment amounts, respectively, and 29.3% and 26.6% of our net assets, respectively. We expect that the majority, but not all, of the assets that are currently pre-operational and non-earning to become revenue generating during 2022 and into 2024, but we also expect to continue to make new investments in projects prior to the commencement of construction. As noted above, the strategy of investing in projects prior to the commencement of construction results in an increase in costs with no immediate increase in dividend income from those projects.

Net Change in Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments, Foreign Currency Translation and Deferred Tax Assets
Net realized loss on investments, Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Foreign currency translationtranslations are reported separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations as prepared under the Investment Basis. We measuremeasured realized gains or losses as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale, repayment, or disposal of an asset and the adjusted cost basis of the asset, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recordedthe LLC recognized a net change in unrealized appreciation of $26,954,279 was recorded of which $10,595,861 of unrealized appreciation related to$27.0 million, driven by the change in value of investments and $15,768 of unrealized appreciation related to the change in value based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates and $16,342,650 of depreciation related to the change in value of swap contracts.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a $(72,149) realized loss related to net working capital adjustments on investments previously sold, a net change in unrealized appreciation of $5,730,739 was recorded of which $2,171,448 of unrealized appreciation related to the change in value of investments and $20,142 of unrealized appreciation related to the change in value based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates and $3,739,027 of depreciation related to the change in value of swap contracts.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $20,834,984 and $3,725,682 respectively,$20.8 million, or $0.12 and $0.04, respectively, per share. The increase in net assets primarily relates to our net investment income earned during the period and unrealized appreciation related to the change in value of investments.
Electricity Production by Our Fleet
Our strategy of purchasing distributed generation and opportunistic utility scale projects enables us to continue building a highly diversified portfolio. While buying and operating smaller projects poses certain challenges compared with buying large single projects, we see significant benefits associated with these smaller projects in terms of investment return potential, due to less competition with large capital providers, opportunity to buy pipelines of deals from developers, and the overall scalability of the asset class, where solar and wind projects can be purchased to match capital inflows.
The power-production capacity of the Company’s operating fleet of renewable energy projects increased by 0.3 GW on a year-over-year basis, as the Company acquired new operating projects and its under-construction projects entered commercial operation. This expansion included a new milestone: the Company's largest operating clean energy asset to date.
As illustrated below, this capacity growth enabled the Company’s fleet of clean energy projects to produce well over 570,000 MWh of total power during the three months ended March 31, 2023, marking a year-over-year increase of 14%. The increased production is driven by the solar energy segment, which included more than 255,000 MWh of solar energy, representing year-over-year growth of 42%.

Dividend Coverage Ratio and Realized Gains - Investment Basis
As further discussed below, towardsTowards the end of 2017, our AdvisorGCM began to observe an increase in the opportunities to participate in projects that were largely similar to our operating assets in terms of the long-term risks, but which had the potential for additional returns if we could manage some additional risks in the early stages of the investment lifecycle. As a result, we determined that we should expand our investment capabilities to include four basic investment categories: operating assets, assets before their commercial operation date, assets at notice to proceed, and special situations. Since then, in addition to acquiring operating assets, a substantial portion of our investment activity consists of acquiring pre-operational assets which we then fund through construction until such time as the assets are placed in service and start generating revenue. Depending on the circumstances, the construction process can take several months during which time we are not generating revenues from these investments and are paying distributions on the capital raised to fund the investments. When determining the price to be paid for pre-operational assets, we perform a discounted cash flow analysis using conservative assumptions regardingof the lifetime operating returns of the projects and incorporating the pre-operational period into our analysis. Through the construction period we continue to incur substantial operating expenses associated with

Thus, from a near term financial perspective, the Company’s financial statementsour Consolidated Financial Statements and overall dividend coverage ratio ishad been negatively impacted.impacted in recent years.
An analysis of the effect of realized gains on the Company'sLLC’s dividend coverage ratio is as follows:

Gross dividend coverage ratio (net investment income and realized gains/total shareholder distributions)(1.5)%(8.8)%30.5 %66.2 %54.6 %71.5 %
The Company has built its business around investing in long-term income-producing assets in the renewable energy industry utilizing the cash flow associated with those assets to pay monthly distributions to our investors. When fully invested, we will measure success based upon generating a consolidated cash flow stream, which enables the Company to pay all shareholder distributions through the operating returns of the Company’s projects. As such, our long-term goal has always been to achieve a distribution coverage ratio of at least 1:1, and to grow that ratio meaningfully over time, so that we can increase long-term returns to investors either through distribution growth or by growing the net asset value of our shares through reinvestment on net investment income.
Investment Company Accounting Considerations
Since the Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the specialized accounting principles of ASC Topic 946, our Advisor produces an estimate of the fair market value of each of our investments quarterly. When valuing our investments under the income method, net operating earnings generated at the project level are included in our valuation models. While the valuation models take into account all revenue, Dividend income recorded from each of our project companies may be more or less than that included in our valuation models each period due to various cash flow considerations. As an example, since many of our projects are held in tax partnership structures, or in related entities with bank-financed project-level debt, the Company may be contractually limited in its ability to make dividend distributions from project companies to the Company. Since project entities are not consolidated with the Company under ASC Topic 946, in many cases not all net income from operations earned by a project company is distributed to the Company. While this non-distributed income is included in the calculation of fair market value and unrealized gain/loss on investments, it is not included in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and therefore not included in our dividend coverage ratio.

Investing in Asset Classifications other than Operating Assets
We believe that the hallmark of a good investment strategy is the ability to take advantage of new opportunities and adjust to changing market conditions. Towards the end of 2017, our Advisor began to observe an increase in the opportunities to participate in projects that were largely similar to our operating assets in terms of the long-term risks, but which promised additional returns if we could manage some additional risks in the early stages of the investment lifecycle. As a result, we determined that we should expand our investment capabilities to include four basic investment categories:
1.Operating Assets – As a continuation of our initial strategy, the Company will continue to invest in solar, wind and other alternative energy assets that are already in commercial operation and generating investment returns through the sale of contracted electricity and environmental attributes.
2.Commercial Operation Date (“COD”) – The Company will also purchase assets that have been constructed by developers but have not been placed in service. Functionally these assets are generally ready to generate electricity and have reached a milestone known as the COD. While we have determined that a modest investment premium could be obtained by investing at COD, most importantly the term of the contracted cash flows is maximized through this strategy.
3.Notice to Proceed (“NTP”) – We further determined that we could invest in assets that had not yet been constructed but that had received substantially all of the permits necessary to begin construction, a milestone known as NTP. While potentially riskier than operating or COD projects due to the level of construction risk, we believe that the additional return associated with these projects more than compensates for the additional risk. Furthermore, when we invest in NTP assets we have the added benefit of having more control of equipment selection and implementation of construction best practices, which positively affects the long-term performance of our plants. With the continued growth of the renewable energy market, driven by increases in the level of Renewable Portfolio Standards in several states and the planned wind-down of federal tax incentives, we identified a significant number of NTP transactions coming to market and an opportunity to develop strong pipeline-type relationships with the developers of these projects. Besides increasing returns to investors, this has enabled management to substantially increase our access to a proprietary pipeline of sound projects.
4.Special Situations – We also determined there are market opportunities for selected projects driven by either technical or financial issues, either at the project or owner level, that can be relatively easily resolved by accessing the broad range of expertise we have in-house to deal with our day-to-day operations. Therefore, we determined that on a limited basis the Company would seek investments that had these characteristics, since by resolving the issues we have the potential to generate above-market returns.
In order to execute on this strategy, management recognized the need to build a dedicated team of technical asset management professionals. Greenbacker Administration therefore began hiring a team of experienced engineers and construction managers, which enabled the Company to expand our investment focus into these additional categories of investment. Having access to the technical expertise enabled the Company to purchase operationally challenged solar and wind farms while having a sound financial understanding of the costs and time required to resolve the issues. Having an in-house team of technical asset management professionals increases our ability to extract revenue from aging solar assets through repowers and plant optimization. It also allows us to capitalize on the acquisition of “distressed” assets as the number of those assets exponentially increases over the coming years. Lastly, it enabled us to invest in earlier-stage projects where the projects were fully permitted but construction had not yet commenced. Having access to this level and breadth of expertise is a major competitive advantage for the Company in the marketplace.
Strategic Considerations of Investing in NTP Projects
We believe that investing across the four investment categories discussed above provides the best opportunity for the Company to generate superior investment returns over the medium term, diversify our portfolio, and create a proprietary pipeline of sound investment opportunities for future growth. The downside of this approach is that investing in pre-operational solar and wind projects that are underperforming has a negative impact on near-term cash flows and dividend coverage. To minimize the downside effects of the strategy, management has continued to explore more sophisticated financing tools to enable us to direct more of our investable capital into current income-generating investments going forward. As the size of our portfolio grows, our ability to access the more sophisticated financial products increases.

Table of contents
During the period from April 2014, when we started raising capital, through the end of 2017, our investment strategy consisted wholly of purchasing operating renewable energy projects that were in service and generating income from the sale of electricity under long-term power purchase contracts. By investing exclusively in operating assets, the CompanyLLC was able to demonstrate steady improvement in distribution coverage through that period. This initial operational period also corresponded to a significant increase in assets under management, as well as the deployment of capital in income producing renewable energy operating assets. During 2018, the CompanyLLC began to expand its investment focus with the purchase of the Midway III project in September 2018. There were no assets under construction in 2017, whereas by December 31, 2018, the Company’sLLC’s investment portfolio included a total of $67$67.0 million of to-be-constructed assets. Given the substantial increase in non-income-generating assets, the distribution coverage ratio fell to 54.58% on average assets by December 31, 2018.
2019
By December 31, 2019, total capital deployed in pre-operational and non-earning assets reached approximately $129$128.6 million which amountedamount to 31.5% of net assets, or 19.1% of the gross investment amount.assets. In addition, Greenbacker Administration costs increased approximately $3$3.0 million year over year due to the increase in specialist headcount to manage the construction and operational risks associated with these investment initiatives. These increased costs directly reduced the operating cash flows from project-level entities that would otherwise have been available to distribute to the CompanyLLC as dividend income. When these projects commenced operations, any increase in the fair value of the project was recognized as an unrealized gain on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, not as investment income. Thus, while costs incurred prior to operation reducereduced the dividend coverage ratio, any unrealized gains on the value of the project after reaching operations havehad no effect on the dividend coverage ratio.
2020
As of December 31, 2020 total capital deployed in pre-operational and non-earning assets reached approximately $144$144.4 million which amounts to 26.0% of net assets, or 13.4% of the gross investment amount.assets. In addition, Greenbacker Administration costs continued to increase due to the increase in specialist headcount to manage the construction and operational risks associated with these investment initiatives. These increased costs directly reduced the operating cash flows from project-level entities that would otherwise have been available to distribute to the CompanyLLC as dividend income. Consistent with 2019, as these projects commenced operations, any increase in the fair value of the project was recognized as an unrealized gain on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, not as investment income. Thus, while costs incurred prior to operation reducereduced the dividend coverage ratio, any unrealized gains on the value of the project after reaching operations havehad no effect on the dividend coverage ratio.

Any change in fair value of the Company'sLLC's investments, whether the projects arewere operating or pre-operational, iswas recognized as an unrealized gain on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, not as investment income. Thus, while costs incurred prior to operation reducereduced the dividend coverage ratio, any unrealized gains on the value of the project before or after reaching operations havehad no effect on the dividend coverage ratio. From a near-term financial perspective, the Company's financial statementsLLC's Consolidated Financial Statements and overall dividend coverage ratio arewere negatively impacted.
2022
AsFor the period from January 1, 2022 through May 18, 2022, the LLC continued to see the effects of March 31, 2022, total capital deployed in pre-operational and non-earning assets reached approximately $450 million which amountson distribution coverage. In addition to 29.3%those impacts, the LLC also recognized increased operating expenses largely made up of net assets, or 22.0%legal expenses and other professional fees associated with the Acquisition and resulting change in status to the Non-Investment Basis. These costs are considered to be non-recurring and are unrelated to the continuing operations of the grossLLC and therefore, are not expected to impact in future periods.
Given the change in status to the Non-Investment Basis, the Company will no longer present Net investment amount. Additionally,income in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will utilize metrics presented within the Consolidated Financial Statements as prepared under the Non-Investment Basis, as well as Adjusted EBITDA and FFO, in evaluating and reporting on the sources of funding for shareholder distributions and the underlying drivers of our financial results in the current period as well as prospectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a resultmeasure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our current and future renewable energy project assets, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. We will use significant cash to fund the acquisition, construction and operation of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, make investments in renewable energy businesses, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and fund our operations.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses as well as interest payments on our outstanding debt and to pay distributions to our shareholders. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from operating cash flow, cash on hand, and borrowings under our existing financing sources.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to repay debt and to acquire and construct renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with operating cash flow, cash on hand, borrowings under our existing financing sources and future debt and equity financing. Our ability to access these capital sources may be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, particularly in the debt and equity capital markets, which are outside of our control.
We expect that our primary sources of financing will be through corporate-level credit facilities or other secured and unsecured borrowings, but we may also issue equity or debt securities. In addition, we expect to use other financing methods at the project level as necessary, including joint venture structures, construction loans, tax equity bridge loans, property mortgages, letters of credit, sale and leaseback transactions, other lease transactions and other arrangements, any of which may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or other interests in our assets. In addition, other sources of capital may include tax equity financings and governmental grants.
Tax equity investors — passive investors which could be a financial institution, insurance company or corporation — contributes capital based on construction milestones in exchange for a share of the significant capital raised duringtax credits (and other tax benefits such as accelerated depreciation) and cash flows generated by a qualifying physical investment. Initially, the three months ending March 31, 2021, the Company has $67 million in investments in money market funds as of March 31, 2021 amounting to an additional 4.4% of our net assets, or 3.3% of our gross investment amounts. Consistent with historical trends, as these projects commenced operations, any increase in the fair valuetax equity investor receives substantially all of the project was recognized as an unrealized gain innon-cash value attributable to the statement of operations, not as investment income. Thus, while costs incurred prior to operation reduce the dividend coverage ratio, any unrealized gains on the valuerenewable energy systems and energy storage systems, which includes accelerated depreciation and Section 48(a) ITCs or Section 45(a) PTC; and generally between 15%-30% of the projectcash generated by the asset. These allocations then flip once certain time or yield based milestones are met. Time based flips occur on a set date after reaching operations has no effect ona five-year recapture period while yield based flips occur after the dividend coverage ratio. While pre-operational assets continues to increase, fromtax equity investor achieves a near term financial perspective, the company’s financial statements and overall dividend coverage ratio is negatively impacted.

Electricity Production by Our Investments
Between 2019 through the end of 2021,flip occurs, we observed 140% growth in annual total megawatt hours ("MWh") production output across our solar, wind, and biomass energy projects in our investment portfolio, resulting in a corresponding growth of revenues earned by our investments. This growth was due in large part to the increase in the capital we deployed in commercial solar and wind projects while increasing the diversification of our portfolio geographically, technologically and across various investment-grade offtakers.

Table of contents
Our strategy of purchasing distributed generation and opportunistic utility-scale projects where we benefit from less competition from large capital providers and existing relationships with developers who expand their projects to larger scale continues to enable us to build a highly diversified portfolio. While buying and operating smaller projects creates a lot of challenges versus buying large single projects, we see significant benefits in terms of the investment return potential, the ability to buy pipelines of deals from developers, and the overall scalability of the asset class, where solar and wind projects can be purchased to match capital inflows.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the total MWh produced across all renewable energy projects in our portfolio were 505,667 MWh, and 324,470 MWh, respectively, an increase of 56%. The most significant growth by segment for the first three months of 2022 as compared to the first three months of 2021 was wind. This increase of 60% year-over-year was largely due to assets within the Sego Lily - Wind Portfolio becoming fully operational, as well as the acquisition of operating assets included within the Other Wind Investments Portfolios.

Net Asset Value and Monthly Share Value Determinations in Connection with Our Offerings

Since commencing operations on April 25, 2014, the Company has sold shares on a continuous basis at offering prices that were based upon NAV (through September 30, 2020) and a Monthly Share Value, effective October 1, 2020. As of March 17, 2022, the Company is closed to new equity capital and is no longer offering shares except pursuant to the DRP.
As described above, we determine our NAV for presentation in our financial statements. In addition, we have adopted a model, as explained below, that adjusts the value of our assets and liabilities from GAAP-based fair value to a Monthly Share Value (“Monthly Share Value”) for the purpose of establishing a purchase and repurchase price for our shares.

We calculate our Monthly Share Value per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our Board of Directors. As a general rule we will continue to monitor the valuation of the Company’s entire investment portfolio on a daily basis and make adjustments to the offering price as necessary as soon as is practical thereafter to reflect any changes in market conditions that materially impact the value of our net assets. On the last business day of every month

Table of contents
following the valuation date, GCM will meet to consider the appropriateness of the Monthly Share Value. As part of that consideration, it will consider the current market values of our liquid and illiquid investment portfolios.

Monthly Share Value is the basis for (1) determining the price offered for each class of our shares pursuant to the DRP and the price per share that is paid to shareholder participants in our SRP; and (2) the value of an investment in our shares, as shown on each shareholder’s periodic customer account statement. While we believe our Monthly Share Value calculation methodologies are consistent with standard industry practices, there is no rule or regulation that requires we calculate Monthly Share Value in a certain way. Monthly Share Value should not be considered equivalent to members’ equity or any other GAAP measure.

Our Monthly Share Value per share does not represent the amount of our assets less our liabilities in accordance with GAAP. We do not represent, warrant or guarantee that:

a shareholder would be able to realize the Monthly Share Value per share for the class of shares a shareholder owns if the shareholder attempts to sell its shares;

a shareholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Monthly Share Value per share for the class of shares it owns upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon a sale of our Company;

shares of our limited liability company interests would trade at their Monthly Share Value per share on a national securities exchange;

a third-party would offer the Monthly Share Value per share for each class of shares in an arm’s-length transaction to purchase all orreceive substantially all of our shares; orthe cash and tax allocations.

The following detailsrisks and uncertainties, including those described under the adjustments to reconcile members’ equity under GAAP to our Monthly Share Value:

The accrued shareholder servicing fee represents the accrual for the full costsection titled Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report, some of the shareholder servicing fee for Class P-S and Class P-T shares. Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the shareholder servicing fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum shareholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class P-S and Class P-T shares. For purposeswhich are outside of our Monthly Share Value, we recognize the shareholder servicing fee as a reduction of Monthly Share Value on a monthly basis as such fee is paid.

The Advisor will advance certain organizational and offering expenses oncontrol. Macroeconomic conditions could hinder our behalf through December 31, 2022. Under GAAP, organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs are charged to equity as such amounts are incurred. For Monthly Share Value, such costs will be recognized as a reduction to Monthly Share Value as they are charged to equity ratably over 60 months.

Hedging Activities
RegardingThe Company manages interest rate risk, primarily through the Credit Facility,use of derivative financial instruments.
The Company documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions, at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, or a treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods during which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.
The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has entered into five separate interest rate swap agreementsswaps as economic hedges.part of its interest

which the Company's operating entities are individually a party, the operating entities, and indirectly the Company, have committed an outstanding balance of approximately $976.9 million to complete the closing pursuant to all conditions being met under the membership interest purchase agreements as of March 31, 2022.2025. The Company plans to use debt and tax equity financing as well as cash on hand to fund such commitments.
Renewable Energy CreditCredits
For certain solar and wind power systems, in the GEH, Other Commercial Solar, Greenbacker Wind Holdings II, Greenbacker Wind - HoldCo and Trillium Portfolios (the “Portfolios”), the Company has received incentives in the form of RECs. In certain cases, the Portfoliosentities have entered into fixed-price, fixed volume forward sale transactions to monetize these RECs for specific entities. If we are unable to satisfy the transaction requirements due to lack of production, we may have to purchase RECs on the spot market and/or pay specified replacement cost damages. Based upon current production projections, we do not expect a requirement to purchase RECs to fulfill our current REC sales contracts. If RECs earned by the Portfoliosentities are not sold on a forward basis, they are sold in the spot market, with revenue recorded in the accounts of the underlying investment when received.
Recording of a sale of RECs under U.S. GAAP is accounted for under Accounting Standards CodificationASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition.from Contracts with Customers. There are no differences in the process and related revenue recognition between REC sales to utilities and non-utility customers. Revenue is recorded in our wholly owned, single-member LLCs when all revenue recognition criteria are met, including that there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists (typically through a contract), services are rendered through the production of electricity, pricing is fixed and determinable under the contract and collectability is reasonably assured. The accounting policy adopted by our wholly owned, single-member LLC related to RECs is that the revenue recognition criteria are met when the energy is produced, and a REC is created and transferred to a third party.

If any of our REC counterparties fail to satisfy their contractual obligations, our costsrevenues may increasedecrease under replacement agreements thatand we may be required. We would also likely incur expenses in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under our advisory agreement.and executing such replacement agreements. For the majority of the forward REC contracts currently effective as of March 31, 2022,2023, GREC and/or the Company has provided an unsecured guaranty related to the delivery obligations under these contracts. The amount of the unsecured guaranty on REC contracts is nil as of March 31, 2022.2023.
Pledge of Parent Company Guarantees
Pursuant to various contracts intax equity structures which are governed by various agreements to which certain of the Company's subsidiaries are individually a party, the Company has provided a parent company guarantee, excluding those discussed above, the operating entities, and indirectly the Company, has committed $114.4 million in unsecured guarantees to support the commitments and obligations of these underlying tax equity agreements in the eventan amount of a default at the underlying entity$463.2 million as of March 31, 2022.
We currently have no off-balance-sheet arrangements, including2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company is not aware of any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.events that could trigger the Company’s obligations under these guarantees.
Distributions
Subject to the Board of Directors’ review and approval and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare distributions on a quarterly basis and pay distributions on a monthly basis. We will calculate each member’sshareholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using record and declaration dates, and each member’s distributions will begin to accrue on the date we accept each member’s subscription for shares. From time to time, we may also pay interim special distributions in the form of cash or shares, with the approval of our Board of Directors.
Distributions will be made on all classes of our shares at the same time. The cash distributions with respect to the Class C, P-S and P-T shares are lower than the cash distributions with respect to Class A, I, P-A, P-I and P-D shares because of the distribution fee relating to Class C, P-S and P-T shares, which will be allocated as a class-specific charge. Amounts distributed to each class will be allocated among the holders of our shares in such class in proportion to their shares.

The Company expects to continue to fund distributions from a combination of cash on hand, cash from operations as well as other external financing sources. Due to the Company’s change in investment portfolio compositionacquisition strategy to include a greater percentagenumber of pre-operational assets that are not yet generating cash from operations, a significant amount of distributions will continue to be funded from other external financing sources.sources until such projects become operational.

InflationOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We doIn the ordinary course of business, the Company engages in financial transactions that are not anticipate that inflation will have a significant effectpresented on our results of operations. However, in the event of a significant increase in inflation, interest rates and other costs to operate our business could rise, and our projects and investmentsConsolidated Balance Sheets or may be materially adversely affected.
Seasonality
Certain typesrecorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of renewable power generation may exhibit seasonal behavior. For example, wind power generation is generally stronger in winter than in summer as wind speed tends to be higher when the weather is colder. In contrast, solar power generation is typically stronger in the summer than in the winter. This istransaction. The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily dueof unfunded commitments and guarantees to the brighter sunshine, longer daysTax Equity Investors, which may affect our liquidity and shorter nights of the summer months, which generally result in the highest power output of the year for solar power. Because these seasonal variations are relatively predictable for these types of assets, we factor in the effects of seasonality when analyzing a potential investment in these target assets. Therefore, the impact that seasonality may have on our business, including the cash flows from our investments in our target assets, will depend on the diversity of our investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other sustainability-related projects in our overall portfolio at such time as we have fully invested the proceeds from this offering. However, in the early stages of our operations, or to the extent our initial investments are concentrated in either solar or wind power, we expect our business to be seasonalfunding requirements based on the typelikelihood that borrowers will advance funds under the loan commitments or we will be required to perform under the guarantee obligations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The following qualitative disclosures regarding our market risk exposures — except for (i) those disclosures that are statements of historical fact; and (ii) the descriptions of how we along with our Advisor, manage our primary market risk exposures — constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Our primary market risk exposures as well as the strategies used and to be used by the Advisorus managing such exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks, any one of which could cause the actual results of our risk controls to differ materially from the objectives of such strategies. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in material losses as well as in material changes to our risk exposures and risk management strategies. There can be no assurance that our current market exposure and/or risk management strategies will not change materially or that any such strategies will be effective in either the short or long term. Investors must be prepared to lose all or substantially all their investment in the shares.
We anticipate that our primary market risks will be related to commodity prices, the credit quality of our counterparties and project companies, andchanges in market interest rates.rates and changes in government incentives. We will seek to manage these risks while, at the same time, seeking to provide an opportunity for membersshareholders to realize attractive returns through ownership of our shares.
Commodity Price Risk
Investments inAcquisitions of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects and businesses expose us to volatility in the market prices of electricity. To stabilize our revenue, we generally expect our projects will have PPAs with local utilities and offtakers that ensure all or most of electricity generated by each project will be purchased at the contracted price. In the event any electricity is not purchased by the offtaker or the energy produced exceeds the offtaker’s capacity, we generally will sell that excess energy to the local utility or another suitable counterparty, which would ensure revenue is generated for all electricity produced. We may be exposed to the risk that the offtaker will fail to perform under the PPA, with the result that we will have to sell our electricity at the market price, which could be either advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the market price of electricity at that point in time.
In regard to the market price of oil, our investments are little affected by the volatility in this market, as most oil consumed in the U.S. today is used for transportation infrastructure and not for the generation of electricity. Volatility in the market price of natural gas can result in volatility in the market price of electricity. The contractual status of our projects limits our exposure to volatility in the market prices of electricity caused by volatility in the market price of natural gas to our projects’ post-PPA periods, to situations where an offtaker is unable to fulfill their contractual obligation to buy the power the projects generate, or to situations where the projects generate energy in excess of that agreed upon in their PPAs and the excess power is sold to the market.
In regard to the market price of other commodities, increases in the costs of raw materials used in the construction of our renewable energy assets, could materially adversely affect the cost required to bring our projects to commercial operation. To mitigate this risk, we (i) when possible, share this risk with developers from whom we purchase in construction and pre-construction assets and (ii) pursue large forward procurement strategies to secure equipment for our in construction portfolio from large and credit worthy suppliers of equipment with fixed price contracts. When we do assume pricing risk for equipment, we budget for what we believe are conservative contingencies within our construction budgets.
Credit Risk
Through our investmentsacquisitions in our target assets, we expect to be indirectly exposed to credit risk relating to counterparties to the electricity sales agreements (including PPAs) for our projects as well as the businesses in which we invest. If counterparties to the electricity sales agreements for our projects or the businesses in which we invest are unable to make payments to us when due, or at all, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. GCMThe Company will seek to mitigate this risk by deploying a comprehensive review and asset selection process and careful ongoing monitoring of acquired assets. In addition, we expect our projects will seek contracts with high-credit-quality counterparties. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur, which could adversely impact our operating results. 
Changes in Market Interest Rates
With respect to our proposed business operations, general increases in interest rates over time may cause the interest expense associated with our borrowings to increase, and the value of our debt investments to decline. Conversely, general decreases in interest rates over time may cause the interest expense associated with our borrowings to decrease, and the value of our debt investmentssecured

loans to increase. As discussed above, we attempt use of interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed interest rate payments.
Changes in Government Incentives
Retrospective changes in the levels of government incentives may have a negative impact on our current investments.renewable energy projects. Prospective changes in the levels of government incentives, including renewable energy credits and investment tax credits, may impact the relative attractiveness of future investmentsacquisitions in various renewable energy projects, which could make it difficult for GCMthe Company to find suitable investmentsacquisitions in the sector.
