Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:<\/b><\/p>\n FRAMINGHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– \nCEO George Sakellaris commented, \u201cOutstanding second quarter results demonstrated solid execution in key areas of our business, underscoring Ameresco\u2019s position as a leading energy infrastructure company that delivers integrated solutions to provide reliable power and modernize critical building and public infrastructure. This performance supports our expectation for 2026 to be another year of growth and increased profitability.<\/p>\n \n\u201cOne of the highlights of the quarter was the tremendous momentum we experienced in the Power Infrastructure pillar of our business, which resulted in a record 65% increase in our awarded backlog to $4.4 billion, providing substantial visibility for at least the next three to four years. During the quarter, we had a record of $1.8 billion of new awards, driven by $1.2 billion for data center, and $600 million for our other key markets. We successfully advanced three new behind the meter data center projects, bringing the total number of data center projects in our awarded project backlog to five. The dollar amount related to data centers that we added to our awarded backlog this quarter represents only a portion of their potential total value. We expect to add additional contributions to awarded backlog and move projects to contracted backlog as these projects reach further development and construction milestones. And beyond these five data center power infrastructure projects already in our awarded backlog, we have a growing number of additional opportunities in our pipeline,\u201d Mr. Sakellaris concluded.<\/p>\n Second Quarter Financial Results (in thousands)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Q2 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Q2 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Revenue<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Net Income (Loss) (1)<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Adj.

Project revenue increased 6% to $380.9 million, while Energy Asset revenue grew 21% to $75.9 million, as we continued to expand our portfolio of owned operating assets. O&M revenue increased 29% to $36.2 million, driven by the continued addition of new long-term contracts. Gross margin expanded to 17.7%, reflecting a favorable business mix and strong execution, with meaningful improvement on both a sequential and year-over-year basis.<\/p>\n \nNet income attributable to common shareholders was $9.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, while Non-GAAP EPS was $0.20. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $62.8 million, outpacing revenue growth and reflecting strong operating execution, improved business mix and the continued expansion of our higher margin recurring businesses. EPS reflected higher depreciation and interest expense associated with the growth in our Energy Asset portfolio, a lower tax benefit, and the non-controlling interest impact from the Neogenyx transaction.<\/p>\n Project and Asset Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n ($ in millions)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n At June 30, 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAwarded Project Backlog

<\/sup>Total Energy Asset Debt divided by Energy Asset Book Value<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nUnrestricted cash increased to $138.3 million with total corporate debt of $384.8 million. Our corporate leverage was 3.2x, comfortably below our 3.5x covenant. We also strengthened our capital position in Q2, securing $471.0 million of financing commitments, including the $400 million related to the Neogenyx transaction. That capital gives us added flexibility to fund growth, support working capital needs, and continue scaling the Energy Assets portfolio in a disciplined way.<\/p>\n \nAdjusted Cash from Operations was negative in Q2, primarily due to the timing of project execution, billings and collections. On a rolling eight-quarter basis, Adjusted Cash from Operations was approximately $30 million, compared with $57 million last quarter, primarily reflecting the timing and mix of activity in the period, along with the composition of the rolling period.<\/p>\n Summary and Outlook \nGiven our first-half performance, the visibility in our backlog, and the financing progress we made in Q2, we remain confident in our outlook for 2026 and are reaffirming our full-year guidance across all metrics and based on improved visibility into investment tax credits expected to be realized in 2026, we are increasing our Non-GAAP EPS. Based on our updated view, we now expect a tax benefit rate in the range of (25%) to (40%), which increases our Non-GAAP EPS guidance range to be $1.15 to $1.35.<\/p>\n \nThe expected additional tax benefit is supported by our planned transition to a new accounting policy for transferable tax credits in the second half of the year. This methodology better aligns earnings recognition with the period in which the investment tax credits are generated, rather than allocating the benefit over the life of the related assets.<\/p>\n \nWe expect the second half to follow our normal seasonal cadence, with activity weighted somewhat more toward Q4, supported by continued project execution, backlog conversion, and disciplined cost management.<\/p>\n FY 2026 Guidance Ranges<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nRevenue<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$2.0 billion<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$2.2 billion<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nGross Margin<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n17%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n18%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA (1)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$250 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$270 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDepreciation & Amortization<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$115 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$116 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nInterest Expense & Other<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$95 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$100 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nEffective Tax Rate<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(25)%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(40)%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n($22) million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n($29) million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNon-GAAP EPS (1)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$1.15<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$1.35<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(1) The Company\u2019s Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS guidance excludes the potential impact of redeemable non-controlling interest activity, one-time charges, energy asset and goodwill impairment charges, changes in contingent consideration, restructuring activities, as well as any related tax impact.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Conference Call\/Webcast Information Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Defined Terms\n

<\/b>\u201cThe second quarter represented an important inflection point for Ameresco as our history of successful large-scale integrated power solution deployments made us a trusted partner for many high profile customers in the data center industry. We are experts in behind the meter solutions, and those solutions now are becoming the go-to path for many data center projects which do not have access to grid power. Our building and public infrastructure projects and energy asset activities, together with these large-scale data center power infrastructure opportunities, give Ameresco a tremendous runway for future growth,\u201d concluded CEO George Sakellaris.<\/p>\n\n
