Ameresco Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Solid Execution with Growth Across All Business Lines

45% Y/Y Growth in Contracted Backlog

Over 750 MWe Ameresco Owned Energy Assets in Development

Reaffirms 2024 Guidance

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues of $298.4 million
  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.9 million
  • GAAP EPS of ($0.06)
  • Non-GAAP EPS of ($0.10)
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 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, 2024. 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. All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted.

CEO George Sakellaris commented, “Ameresco’s strong execution during the first quarter demonstrates the early results of the actions we have taken to optimize our organization and platform to capture the significant growth opportunities ahead of us. Our new corporate structure has brought greater uniformity and scalability across our geographies and enabled faster and better project conversion and execution, which helped to drive stronger than expected revenues in the first quarter. We are also seeing the early results from our strategic focus on better win rates and improved margins in our core Federal and MUSH markets.

“While compressing execution timelines remains a priority, we continued to further build our substantial long-term visibility, achieving record levels of Project Backlog and Assets in Development and Construction in the first quarter. Our total Project Backlog exceeded $4 billion at the end of the quarter, an increase of 35% or over $1 billion from one year ago. Our success in converting awards to contracts drove a 45% increase in our contracted backlog. The Energy Asset business continued to add high return assets to our development pipeline, ending the quarter with a record 762 MWe, while also bringing 13 MWe into operation during the quarter. These metrics, along with our strong and growing O&M backlog, give the Company significant profitable revenue visibility for years to come.”

(1) Net Income (Loss) represents net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

(2) Numbers in table may not sum due to rounding.

Total revenue increased 10.1% to $298.4 million led by 11.5% growth in Projects revenue, as faster implementation and contract conversions allowed for continued execution on our growing contracted backlog. Energy Asset revenue grew 5.9% driven by growth in operating assets placed in service, improved production and stronger RIN prices. O&M revenue increased 13.8% reflecting timing of long-term O&M contracts. Other revenue increased 3.2% primarily due to strength in our consulting business. Gross margin of 15.7% was lower than expected as higher than normal project cost adjustments during the quarter outweighed higher margins in our O&M business. SG&A decreased 4.2% due to higher labor utilization which also resulted in lower project development costs. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.9 million compared to net income of $1.1 million during the same period last year driven by higher interest expenses, with GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS of ($0.06) and ($0.10), respectively. Adjusted EBITDA of $30.8 million increased 12.6%.

(5) Total Energy Asset Debt divided by Energy Asset Book Value

 

The Company ended the quarter with $77.7 million in cash. Our total corporate debt including our term loans and drawn amounts on our revolving line of credit continued to decline to $268.1 million, with a corporate leverage ratio as calculated under our Sr. Secured Credit Facility of 3.0x, below our 3.5x bank covenant level. Our Energy Asset Debt was $1.3 billion with an Energy Debt Advance rate of 72% on the Energy Asset Book Value. Our Adjusted Cash from Operations during the quarter was $40.4 million. Our 8-quarter rolling average Adjusted Cash from Operations was $29.5 million. We are providing this number given the volatility of quarterly Adjusted Cash from Operations as it better represents our average implementation cycle. The Company’s access to attractive capital remained very strong during the quarter highlighted by numerous draws from our existing financings as well as an investment by Republic Services in the Roxana RNG plant.

  • Ameresco continued to drive significant asset activity in the state of Hawaii with the award of a 40 MWe biofuel-powered facility in Maui. This marks Ameresco’s fourth asset award with Hawaiian Electric, building on the success of Kūpono Solar, a 42 MWe AC solar and 42MWe/168MWh battery storage facility on Oahu expected to come online in Q2 2024, Pu`uloa Energy, a 99 MWe firm renewable generation facility on Oahu expected to come online in 2027, and Pu`uloa Solar, a 6MWe solar and 6MWe/30MWh battery storage facility on Oahu expected to come online in 2026.
  • During the quarter Ameresco began operations of the 5.2 MWe RNG plant at Republic Services’ Brickyard Landfill.
  • The education market continued to show significant activity driven by the numerous available state and federal grants and incentives to provide comprehensive solutions including energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy storage technologies.

Summary and Outlook

“Our robust first quarter results represented a strong start to the year supporting our expectations for substantial growth in 2024. Demand for our solutions continues to be strong and broad based across technologies and our diversified customer base. Additionally, our strong projects backlog metrics, together with our substantial asset portfolio and growing O&M backlog provide Ameresco with multi-year visibility on profitable revenue growth,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.

Ameresco reaffirms its full year 2024 guidance which is included in the table below and reflects an expected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 20% and 38%, respectively, at the midpoints. The Company expects to place approximately 200 MWe of energy assets in service for all of 2024. Our expected capex for 2024 is $350 million to $400 million, the majority of which we expect to fund with project financing.

(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.
