Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ameresco, Inc. reported record fourth quarter revenue and higher full-year sales while GAAP earnings and cash flow softened. For 2025, revenue rose to $1,932.1 million, with Q4 revenue up 9% year over year to $581.0 million, driven mainly by project activity.

Full-year net income attributable to common shareholders declined to $44.3 million, or GAAP EPS of $0.83, while Non-GAAP EPS was $0.90. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $237.2 million, and Q4 adjusted EBITDA was $70.0 million, supported by a growing base of recurring Energy Asset and O&M revenue.

The company ended 2025 with a project backlog of $5.0 billion and total revenue visibility of $10.4 billion, reflecting long-term contracts and energy assets. Unrestricted cash was $71.8 million, corporate debt was $339.3 million, and energy asset debt was $1.5 billion, corresponding to a 73% advance rate on a $2.08 billion energy asset book value.

For 2026, Ameresco guides revenue between $2.0 billion and $2.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $270 million to $295 million, implying mid-teens EBITDA growth at the midpoints. Management expects 100–120 MWe of new energy assets placed in service and forecasts Non‑GAAP EPS between $1.10 and $1.35.

Positive

  • Stronger growth and visibility: 2025 revenue reached $1,932.1 million with record Q4 sales, adjusted EBITDA increased to $237.2 million, total project backlog was $5.0 billion, and total revenue visibility exceeded $10.36 billion, supporting 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $270–$295 million (about 19% growth at the midpoint).

Negative

  • Weaker GAAP profitability and operating cash flow: Net income attributable to common shareholders declined to $44.3 million (diluted EPS $0.83, down from $1.07), and cash flows from operating activities swung to a negative $80.4 million, even though adjusted cash from operations was positive when adding ITC and Federal ESPC proceeds.

Insights

Ameresco shows solid growth and backlog, but earnings quality and cash flow are mixed.

Ameresco delivered record Q4 revenue of $581.0 million and 2025 revenue of $1,932.1 million, supported by project execution and expanding Energy Assets and O&M. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $237.2 million, while project and asset backlog reached over $5.0 billion, with total revenue visibility of $10.36 billion.

However, GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders fell to $44.3 million from $56.8 million, and diluted EPS declined to $0.83. Reported cash flows from operating activities were negative $80.4 million, with management emphasizing adjusted cash from operations of $151.7 million after including ITC sales and Federal ESPC proceeds.

For 2026, guidance targets mid-single‑digit to low‑double‑digit revenue growth to $2.0–$2.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $270–$295 million, implying EBITDA growth around 19% at the midpoint. Leverage stands at a corporate debt leverage ratio of 2.7x, with $1.52 billion of energy asset debt against a $2.08 billion book value, so future updates on asset additions, financing activity, and conversion of the $5.0 billion backlog into cash will be important in subsequent filings.

FRAMINGHAM, MA - March 2, 2026 – 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.

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

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.

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.
