21 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Sungevity expects to be cash flow breakeven by the end of 2016 (1) See page 22 for reconciliation. GAAP revenue does not take into account timing difference and cash infl ows between deployment and interconnection of systems that have been installed, but not yet recognized as revenue. (2) Growth rates tied to midpoints of stated guidance range. (3) EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; see page 23 for a reconciliation to GAAP. See page 20 for EBITDA build-up. (4) Based on Sungevity management’s projections; assumes business combination with Easterly closes in 2016. (5) CAGRs are midpoints of stated guidance range.

(1) Interconnected systems lag deployed systems by ~30 days; this timing difference results in cash infl ows that are not yet recognized as revenue until the systems are interconnected. (2) Revenue per interconnected system is different than ASP of Systems Deployed because of timing difference of cash infl ows between deployment and interconnection of systems. Cash generation is higher than GAAP revenue due to timing of cash inflows vs. revenue recognition

Note: Sungevity is unable to reconcile the forward-looking projections of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss) because the nature and amount of the constituent adjustments are subject to a number of variables and cannot be estimated at this time. The information that is unavailable at this time consists of warrant expense treatment upon deal closing, tax treatment, and tax equity partnership treatment for Q2-4 2016, 2017, and 2018. The outcome of these variables are likely to have a material impact on Sungevity’s GAAP net income (loss). (1) Timing difference results in cash infl ows that are not yet recognized as revenue until the systems are interconnected. (2) Removes gross margin attributable to leases not sold under MSAs, which were initiated between 2010-2014.
