Business Wire Strong Revenue and Pipeline Growth 20% Awarded and 8% Total Backlog Year over Year Growth Leadership Promotions Position the Company for Accelerated Long Term Growth Announces Transformational Investment by HASI in Ameresco’s Biogas Business Updates 2026 Guidance as a Result of the Investment First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: Revenues of $401.5 million Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $18.3 million GAAP EPS of ($0.35) Non-GAAP EPS ($0.33) Adjusted EBITDA of $40.5 million Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy infrastructure solutions provider, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. 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, “The first quarter represented a solid start to the year, with revenue growth of 14% despite adverse weather conditions. During the quarter we secured over half a billion dollars in new project awards, driving 20% growth in our Awarded Backlog which now stands at almost $2.8 billion. “Our customers are navigating a convergence of rising energy costs, rapidly increasing demand, and an imperative for highly resilient energy systems. Against this backdrop, we are experiencing record levels of business development activity, with especially strong demand coming from our Federal government customers. Ameresco’s diversified mix of building efficiency and energy infrastructure Project offerings together with our Energy Asset solutions and O&M capabilities puts us in a unique position to address these complex challenges as a go-to, comprehensive solutions provider.” “In a separate release today, we announced the signing of an agreement with HASI for an important $400 million strategic investment in our biofuels business, creating a newly formed joint venture named Neogenyx Fuels. Ameresco has been a leader in the biofuels industry for the last twenty-five years, turning the beneficial use of biogas into a reliable low-carbon fuel source,” said George Sakellaris, Chief Executive Officer of Ameresco. “When completed, this transaction will enable us to monetize a portion of the $1.8 billion enterprise value that we have created in our biogas business, while allowing us to accelerate the future growth of this platform." First Quarter Financial Results
(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted.) (in thousands) Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Revenue Net (Loss) Income (1) Adj. EBITDA Revenue Net (Loss) Income (1) Adj. EBITDA Projects $290,489 ($4,290) $5,844 $251,461 $393 $8,736 Energy Assets $60,705 ($16,669) $30,014 $56,693 $(5,884) $30,106 O&M $30,223 $1,579 $2,586 $24,846 $733 $1,662 Other $20,043 $1,097 $2,028 $19,829 $(725) $130 Total (2) $401,460 ($18,283) $40,472 $352,829 $(5,483) $40,634 (1) Net Income represents net income attributable to common shareholders. (2) Numbers in table may not sum due to rounding. Total revenue was $401.5 million, up 14% year over year, driven by strong performances in Projects and O&M. Project revenue increased 16% to $290.5 million, reflecting solid execution across Federal and key geographies in both Building Efficiency and Energy Infrastructure solutions. Energy Asset revenue grew 7% to $60.7 million, supported by continued expansion of our operating asset portfolio, more than offsetting the impact of adverse weather conditions at several RNG facilities. O&M revenue increased 22%, driven by the continued additions of new long-term contracts. Gross margin of 14% reflects the impact of adverse weather at certain RNG sites and project mix. Net interest and other expenses was $27.8 million, reflecting an increase year over year, primarily driven by $1.8 million of non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged derivatives and $0.9 million of foreign exchange losses. The effective tax rate was approximately 18% in Q1, compared to a (27)% benefit in the prior year, reflecting our decision to monetize certain investment tax credits through third-party sales. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $18.3 million or $(0.35) per diluted share, with Non-GAAP loss per share of $(0.33). Adjusted EBITDA of $40.5 million was in line with the Company’s expectations.

During the quarter the Company executed approximately $149.5 million of new financing commitments. Energy Asset Debt totaled $1.6 billion representing an Energy Debt Advance rate of 73% of Energy Asset Book Value. Non-GAAP Adjusted Cash from Operations for the quarter was $62.0 million, with an 8-quarter rolling average Non-GAAP Adjusted Cash from Operations of $57.0 million. Summary and Outlook
“Ameresco is off to a solid start this year, against a favorable backdrop of strong secular trends. We made several important organizational changes in the first quarter that are designed to enhance our ability to execute more effectively and better profit from the tremendous opportunities on the horizon,” concluded CEO George Sakellaris. Based on our strong start to the year, we would have reaffirmed our original 2026 guidance. In anticipation of the closing of the Neogenyx Fuels transaction, however, we are updating our full-year guidance to reflect the expected impact on our reported results. Importantly, this update is driven by the structure of the transaction and does not change our underlying operating expectations. Given the structure of the transaction, we plan to consolidate Neogenyx Fuels, and therefore our revenue guidance remains unchanged. 30% of Neogenyx Fuel's net income will be attributable to HASI and reflected as income attributable to non-controlling interest. Consistent with this, our reported Adjusted EBITDA, as well as our operating assets and assets in development metrics will reflect our 70% ownership. The company continues to anticipate placing approximately 100-120 MWe of total energy assets in service, including 2 RNG plants. Expected capex is $300 million to $350 million, the majority of which is expected to be funded with a combination of energy asset debt, HASI's investment, tax equity and tax credit sales. The revenue cadence for the remainder of the year is expected to follow our historical seasonal pattern, with results weighted toward the second half. We expect the second half to contribute approximately 60% of total 2026 revenue, consistent with recent-year performance. For the second quarter, with the expectation that the Neogenyx Fuels transaction will close, we expect Adjusted EBITDA of $58 million to $62 million and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.18 to $0.23. FY 2026 Guidance Ranges Revenue $2.0 billion $2.2 billion Gross Margin 17% 18% Adjusted EBITDA (1) $250 million $270 million Depreciation & Amortization $115 million $116 million Interest Expense & Other $95 million $100 million Effective Tax Rate (20)% (10)% Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest ($22) million ($29) million Non-GAAP EPS $1.06 $1.28 (1) The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.

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, stock-based compensation expense, energy asset and goodwill impairment, contingent consideration, 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, stock-based compensation expense, impact from redeemable non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, 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 and goodwill impairment, contingent consideration, 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. Non-GAAP Adjusted Cash from Operations We define Non-GAAP adjusted cash from operations as cash flows from operating activities plus proceeds from ITC sales and proceeds from Federal ESPC projects. Cash received in payment of ITC sales are, as of our fiscal year 2025, treated as investing activities under GAAP. Federal ESPC projects are treated as financing cash flows under GAAP. These cash flows, however, correspond to benefits generated by the underlying assets and projects. Thus, we believe that adjusting operating cash flow to include the cash generated from ITC sales and 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 Non-GAAP adjusted cash from operations as a measure of liquidity because it captures all sources of cash associated with our operations.

Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy infrastructure solutions provider, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. 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, “Strong fourth quarter results capped an excellent year for Ameresco in which we successfully navigated a dynamic business environment and reached the mid to high ends of our annual revenue and profit guidance ranges.
We achieved record quarterly revenue during the fourth quarter driven by our continued focus on project execution, together with the benefits of recurring revenue from our long-term Energy Asset and O&M businesses. The market for our energy infrastructure and building efficiency solutions remained robust in the fourth quarter, driving a 13% increase in awarded backlog compared to last year and signaling strong continued customer demand for our solutions. Total project backlog increased 5% to over $5 billion at year-end. Additionally, we placed 87 MWe into operation, including our 9th RNG facility, a large military solar plus storage installation and the Nucor BESS system. The Nucor asset highlights the increasing need for our solutions from energy intensive heavy industries, a large and growing opportunity for us. We also continued to selectively add additional assets into our development and construction pipeline during the quarter. Our project backlog together with our recurring Energy Asset and O&M businesses gives us over $10 billion in long-term revenue visibility, supporting our confidence in the Company’s future growth prospects.
Ameresco’s diversified mix of building efficiency and energy infrastructure Project and Energy Asset solutions continues to address key issues facing our customers, notably increased energy costs, rapidly growing energy demand and the need for energy to be highly resilient to power mission critical operations. Our decades of experience and our track record of successful execution have strengthened our competitive position, making us a go-to solutions provider,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.

Total revenue was $581.0 million, up 9% year over year and represented a record quarterly result. Project revenue increased 11% to $465.9 million, driven by strong European performance and continued backlog conversion. Energy Asset revenue grew 5% to $60.7 million, reflecting the continued expansion of our operating asset portfolio, while O&M revenue increased 11% with the addition of new long-term contracts. Our other line of business, excluding the divestiture of our AEG business at the end of 2024, delivered solid year-over-year results. Gross margin improved to 16.2% reflecting both sequential and year-on-year improvement.
Interest and other expenses, net was $20.7 million, representing a decrease of 11.4%. The effective tax benefit rate was (26.0%) in 2025, compared to (58.9)% in 2024, reflecting higher taxable income and our election to sell certain investment tax credits through third-party sales, rather than retaining them for internal tax use. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $18.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, with Non-GAAP EPS of $0.39. Adjusted EBITDA was $70.0 million. Fourth quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $87.2 million included approximately $38 million related to the gain on the sale of AEG.

During the quarter the Company successfully executed approximately $175 million in project financing commitments. Our Energy Asset Debt was $1.5 billion with an Energy Debt Advance rate of 73% on the Energy Asset Book Value. Our Adjusted Cash from Operations during the quarter was $36.4 million. Our 8-quarter rolling average Adjusted Cash from Operations was $54.3 million.
Outlook
“We entered 2026 with positive business momentum and a more favorable operating environment than we faced at this time last year. With our diversified Project and Energy Asset offerings covering a comprehensive portfolio of building efficiency and infrastructure solutions, we believe Ameresco has the capabilities to consistently meet our global customers’ needs to increase their energy supplies, reduce their energy costs, and provide greater energy resiliency. This positioning underpins our confidence in Ameresco’s growth prospects in 2026 and beyond,” concluded CEO George Sakellaris.
The company is guiding revenue of $2.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $283 million at the midpoints of our ranges, representing growth of 9% and 19%, respectively. We anticipate placing approximately 100-120 MWe of energy assets in service, including 2 RNG plants. Our expected capex is $300 million to $350 million, the majority of which we expect to fund with additional energy asset debt, tax equity or tax credit sales.
The cadence of the year should follow our historical seasonal pattern, with a heavier weighting toward the second half. We expect revenues in the second half of the year to represent approximately 60% of our total revenue for 2026. This is consistent with our performance from the past couple of years.
Our first quarter is typically our seasonally lowest revenue quarter and has been further impacted by severe weather conditions. Therefore, we expect our first quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to track similar to Q1 of last year. With the expected continued growth of our energy asset portfolio, depreciation and interest expenses are expected to continue to increase as those assets come into service. Given the linear nature of those costs, we expect first quarter EPS to be negative by approximately $0.30.

(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, stock-based compensation expense, energy asset and goodwill impairment, contingent consideration, 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, stock-based compensation expense, impact from redeemable non-controlling interests, contingent consideration, 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 and goodwill impairment, contingent consideration, 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 ITC sales and proceeds from Federal ESPC projects. Cash received in payment of ITC sales are, as of our fiscal year 2025, treated as investing activities under GAAP. Federal ESPC projects are treated as financing cash flows under GAAP. These cash flows, however, correspond to benefits generated by the underlying assets and projects. Thus, we believe that adjusting operating cash flow to include the cash generated from ITC sales and 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 operations.
