Ameresco Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

First Quarter Revenue Ahead and Profits in Line with Guidance

Total Backlog Increased 13% Sequentially, with $472M in New Awards

Placed 34 MWe of Energy Assets into Operation

Reaffirms 2023 Guidance

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues of $271.0 million
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.1 million
  • GAAP EPS of $0.02
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.03
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $27.4 million

Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company also furnished supplemental information in conjunction with this press release in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The supplemental information, which includes Non-GAAP financial measures, has been posted to the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.ameresco.com. Reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to the appropriate GAAP measures are included herein.

CEO George Sakellaris commented, “In the first quarter we continued to build our excellent multi-year visibility, while making significant progress across our businesses that support both our 2023 guidance and our longer-term financial targets. Our total project backlog increased by 13% sequentially, driven by the addition of $472 million in new awards. We also placed 34 MWe of solar assets into operation and continued to add long-term O&M contracts. We are seeing an increase in engagement as customers assess and prioritize their projects to optimize the potential benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In addition, we are encouraged by the substantial increase in the dollar value of year-to-date proposal activity compared to 2022 levels.

“We are pleased to be welcoming analysts and institutional investors on May 11th to our London Investor Day, which spotlights the growing interest in Ameresco from investors across Europe. European markets are becoming increasingly important to our future global growth strategy, and we expect to continue to expand internationally through a combination of organic growth, acquisitions, and partnerships.

During the quarter our expertise with LED street lighting projects was once again recognized as our Chicago Smart Light Program was awarded the Inspiring Efficiency Impact Award by the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, a collaborative network advancing energy efficiency in the Midwest for sustainable economic development and environmental stewardship. We continue to see significant opportunities to execute similar smart street lighting projects. We also recently were honored to be awarded the 2023 North American Energy Services Company of the Year by market research firm Frost & Sullivan. Ameresco was selected due to its demonstrated excellence in the energy services space, particularly as it relates to customer impact and visionary transformation and performance.

SCE agreed to accelerate $125 million of future milestone payments on the projects, which we received during the quarter. This was in conjunction with our agreement with SCE related to the costs associated with SCE’s request to adjust the project schedule into 2023. Construction of the SCE projects progressed further in the quarter. We anticipate two of the projects to be in service and to achieve substantial completion in the summer of 2023. One of the projects was impacted by the record rainfall earlier in 2023 and experienced further delays. We are working with SCE to determine the duration of this delay and are continuing discussions regarding the applicability and scope of any force majeure relief. Our relationship with SCE continues to be cooperative.”

First Quarter Financial Results

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

Total revenue was $271.0 million, about $40 million above our first quarter guidance, as we experienced faster execution on certain projects as well as some early contract conversions. Energy Asset revenue grew 6% as growth in operating assets and increased solar production from existing assets more than offset lower RIN prices. O&M revenue increased 10% reflecting continued growth in long-term contracts. Other revenue increased 13% primarily due to strength in our utility SaaS and consulting business. Gross margin of 18.4% reflected significant expansion from 14.4% in the previous year due to the reduced contribution from the lower margin SCE projects. SG&A increased slightly during the quarter to support our increased proposal activity in the United States and Europe. Net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EBITDA were $1.1 million and $27.4 million, respectively.

The Company generated cash flow from operations of $58.8 million and adjusted cash flow from operations of approximately $101.1 million, ending the quarter with approximately $178.9 million of unrestricted cash. We significantly reduced our receivables and unbilled revenue during the quarter through payments from our SCE projects. We also had a very strong quarter with respect to project financings. During the quarter, the Company secured cash financing of $58.2 million and opened additional unfunded facilities that can further support Ameresco’s Energy Asset growth.

Project Highlights

In the First Quarter of 2023:

  • Ameresco continued its strong presence in the higher education market with the announcement of its partnership with Alaska Pacific University (APU) to design and upgrade existing infrastructure at the institution’s Thomas Training Center. Ameresco will work to install a new boiler, baseboard heaters, convection heaters, water heaters and retrofit the facilities’ existing 750-gallon water tank with a new 500-gallon water tank.
  • Customer demand for PV projects remained strong with news wins including a 5 MWe solar array for the City of Alton, Illinois. The solar installation will be developed on a local closed municipal landfill site in the city.
  • This quarter, we continued to build on our partnership with GSA by executing a contract modification to our GSA National Deep Energy Retrofit 6 task order (signed in December). Our GSA Texas and Louisiana ESPC project received over $9.6 million in IRA funding to support integration of Grid-Interactive Efficient (GEB) and Green Proving Ground technologies such as BAS Improvements, Motors & VFDs, Window Inserts and high-efficiency chillers.
  • Ameresco completed another phase of work at Fall River Public Schools in MA. Building on the other phases at Fall River, this was a complete HVAC system upgrade to the Lord and Talbot Middle Schools, including high efficient heat pumps, VRF Heating and Cooling Systems, new Electronic Building Controls, and a complete upgrade of the window systems.

Asset Highlights

In the First Quarter of 2023:

  • Ameresco’s Assets in Development ended the quarter at 491 MWe. After subtracting Ameresco’s partners’ minority interests, Ameresco’s owned capacity of Assets in Development at quarter end was 432 MWe.
  • The Company added 13 MWe of new energy asset awards and placed 34 MWe into service.

Summary and Outlook

“The Ameresco team delivered first quarter results in line with our expectations, while continuing to grow our project backlog and operating asset portfolio. We expect to convert a substantial dollar amount of awarded backlog to contracted backlog during the second quarter, and to place additional assets in operation. Together these metrics support our confidence in our 2023 guidance. Our longer-term opportunities remain very compelling as the number and complexity of projects continue to increase, and the incentives associated with the IRA are expected to drive significant new customer investment over the coming years. Secular growth drivers, together with the breadth of our technological expertise and our international expansion plans underpin our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA target of $300 million,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.

Our 2023 guidance, included in the table below, anticipates adjusted EBITDA growth of 5% at the midpoint. We expect to place between 80 and 100 MWe of energy assets in service in 2023 including three RNG plants. Several additional RNG assets are in the late stages of development, and we expect that 4 or 5 of these will come online during 2024. Our planned capex for 2023 is $325 million to $375 million, the majority of which is expected to be funded with non-recourse debt.

Given the $40 million in revenue pull forward into the first quarter mentioned above, we estimate second quarter revenue, adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $280 million to $300 million, $30 million to $40 million and $0.10 to $0.20, respectively.

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

Exhibit A: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

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

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

Non-GAAP Net Income and EPS

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

Adjusted Cash from Operations

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