Current report
•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased from 2025 primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $1.8 million and payroll and benefit costs of $0.7 million, offset in part by a decrease in restructuring costs.
Current report
•Other Expenses (Income), Net: Other expenses (income), net for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is lower than 2025 primarily due to the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses. In the three months ended June 30, 2026 we recognized a loss of $0.0 million compared to gains of $3.0 million in the same period last year.
Current report
Management continues to evaluate the market conditions for opportunities to monetize investment tax credits on favorable terms.
Current report
•Revenues: total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased over 2025 primarily due to a $61.8 million, or 10%, increase in our project revenues attributed to continued growth and expansion in our project business in Europe, the timing of revenue recognized based upon costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs on active projects, principally in our Federal and Europe segments, as well as the impact of the 2025 reversal of previously recognized revenue on a Federal solar photovoltaic energy project that was determined that the closing of the sale was not probable.. The increase is in part attributed to a $13.6 million, or 26% in operations and maintenance revenue due to continued additions of new long-term contracts, and a $17.0 million, or 14% increase and energy asset revenue resulting from the growth of our operating asset portfolio.
Current report
•North America Regions: the decrease is primarily due to a decrease in unrealized gains from derivatives, a decrease in other income, lower gross profit due to lower project revenue, and the impact of lower-margin project mix in the three months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by a higher-margin project mix in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current report
•U.S. Federal: the increase is primarily due to higher gross profit primarily due to the benefit of annual price increases on relatively stable costs for certain operations and maintenance contracts and an increase in unrealized gains from derivatives, partly offset by increased operating expenses from legal costs compared to the prior period.

Previous wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we continued to face supply chain disruptions and varying levels of inflation driven by macroeconomic conditions. This caused some delays in the timely delivery of material to customer sites and in the timely completion of certain projects and increased shipping, transportation, component and labor costs, negatively impacting our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect these challenges will persist and they may intensify. We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate to address the challenges presented from these conditions.
Current wording

In October 2021, we entered into a contract with SCE to design and build three grid scale BESS at three sites near existing substation parcels throughout SCE’s service territory in California with an aggregate capacity of 537.5 MW (the “SCE Agreement”). The engineering, procurement and construction price is approximately $892.0 million in the aggregate, including two years of O&M revenues, subject to customary potential adjustments for changes in the work. As previously disclosed, due to supply chain delays, weather and other events, we were unable to complete the projects by August 1, 2022 (the “Guaranteed Completion Date”). On August 30, 2024, we reached an agreement with SCE on the substantial completion of two out of three battery energy storage system projects. We received approximately $110 million on September 5, 2024 as milestone payments, reflecting both an offset of liquidated damages which are still in dispute and $3 million that SCE withheld for additional work SCE required. Upon final acceptance of these two projects, we will invoice SCE for the remaining final acceptance milestone payments for these projects. We have provided SCE notice for substantial completion of the third project and are in discussions with SCE to reach agreement on the achievement of this milestone. We expect all three projects to be finalized this year.

The parties are continuing to dispute the scope and timing of SCE’s final payment obligations and whether liquidated damages should apply. Our view continues to be that SCE is obligated to make the final payments under the SCE Agreement and liquidated damages should not be applied. If we fail to come to an agreement with SCE on these matters, we may be required to pay liquidated damages up to an aggregate maximum of $89 million and may not be able to recover costs associated with the force majeure events.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense, including expenses related to the estimated achievement of the performance metrics of performance-based stock options (“PSOs”) granted during the year ended December 31, 2025, and our employee stock purchase plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we granted 519,200 common stock options and 104,100 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain employees under our 2020 Plan. Our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $30.7 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2025, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years. See Note 16 “Stock-based Compensation” for additional information.

Previous wording
Total project backlog represents energy efficiency projects that are active within our sales cycle. Our sales cycle begins with the initial contact with the customer and ends, when successful, with a signed contract, also referred to as fully-contracted backlog. Our sales cycle averages 18 to 42 months. Awarded backlog is created when a potential customer awards a project to Ameresco following a request for proposal. Once a project is awarded but not yet contracted, we typically conduct a detailed energy audit to determine the scope of the project as well as identify the savings that may be expected to be generated from upgrading the customer’s energy infrastructure. At this point, we also determine the subcontractors, what equipment will be used, and assist in arranging for third party financing, as applicable. It takes an average of 12 to 24 months to convert our awarded backlog to fully-contracted backlog. It may take longer, as it depends on the size and complexity of the project. Historically, approximately 90% of our awarded backlog projects have resulted in a signed contract. After the customer and Ameresco agree to the terms of the contract and the contract is executed, the project moves to fully-contracted backlog. The contracts reflected in our fully-contracted backlog typically have a construction period of 12 to 36 months and we typically expect to recognize revenue for such contracts over the same period.
Current wording
Awarded backlog: For our more traditional projects, awarded backlog is created when a potential customer awards a project to Ameresco following a request for proposal. Once a project is awarded but not yet contracted, we typically conduct a detailed energy audit to determine the scope of the project as well as identify the savings that may be expected to be generated from upgrading the customer’s energy infrastructure. At this point, we also determine the subcontractors, what equipment will be used, and assist in arranging for third party financing, as applicable. It takes an average of 12 to 24 months to convert our awarded backlog for our more traditional project to fully-contracted backlog. It may take longer, as it depends on the size and complexity of the project. A growing portion of our backlog represents projects in development for data centers, which have different milestones within the sales cycle compared to our traditional projects. These data center projects are added to our awarded backlog when we are under an exclusive arrangement with a data center developer or land owner, and have made meaningful progress in terms of site control, interconnection and the offtake arrangement, among other development activities. Given the development status of these projects, we may choose to include only a portion of the estimated total contract value in our awarded backlog while development progresses and scopes are finalized. These projects represent a new end market for Ameresco, however we currently believe that the average sales cycle of these projects will be consistent with our traditional projects.
Previous wording
Our O&M backlog represents expected future revenues under signed, multi-year customer contracts for the delivery of O&M services, primarily for energy efficiency and renewable energy construction projects completed by us for our customers.
Current wording
O&M backlog: Our O&M backlog represents expected future revenues under signed, multi-year customer contracts for the delivery of O&M services, primarily for energy efficiency and renewable energy construction projects completed by us for our customers.
Previous wording
We define our 12-month backlog as the estimated amount of revenue that we expect to recognize in the next twelve months from our fully-contracted backlog. See “We may not recognize all revenues from our backlog or receive all payments anticipated under awarded projects and customer contracts” and “In order to secure contracts for new projects, we typically face a long and variable selling cycle that requires significant resource commitments and requires a long lead time before we realize revenues” in Item 1A, Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Previous wording
Assets in development, which represents the potential design/build project value of renewable energy plants that have been awarded or for which we have secured development rights, were estimated at $2.0 billion and $2.3 billion, net of amounts attributable to a non-controlling interest at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This is another important metric because it helps us gauge our future capital expenditure needs and develop-and-sell opportunities as well as our capacity to generate electricity or deliver renewable gas fuel, which contributes to our recurring revenue stream.
Current wording
Assets in development, which represents the potential design/build project value of renewable energy plants that have been awarded or for which we have secured development rights, were estimated at $1.7 billion and $2.3 billion, net of amounts attributable to a non-controlling interest at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This is another important metric because it helps us gauge our future capital expenditure needs and develop-and-sell opportunities as well as our capacity to generate electricity or deliver renewable gas fuel, which contributes to our recurring revenue stream.
Previous wording
•Revenues: total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased over 2025 primarily due to a $39.0 million, or 16%, increase in our project revenues attributed to continued growth and expansion in our project business in Europe, as well as the timing of revenue recognized based upon costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs on active projects. The increase is in part attributed to a $5.4 million, or 22%, and a $4.0 million, or 7% increase in operations and maintenance revenue and energy asset revenue, respectively, resulting from the continued growth of our operating portfolio.
Current wording
•Revenues: total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased over 2025 primarily due to a $22.8 million, or 6%, increase in our project revenues attributed to the timing of revenue recognized based upon costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs on active projects, primarily in U.S. Federal and Europe segments. The increase is in part attributed to a $13.0 million, or 21% increase in energy asset revenue resulting from the growth of our operating asset portfolio and an $8.2 million, or 29%, increase in operations and maintenance revenue due to continued additions of new long-term contracts.
Previous wording
•Interest Expense and Interest Income, Net: increased $5.3 million primarily due to increases in the amount of energy asset financings and corporate debt outstanding.
Current wording
•Interest Expense and Interest Income, Net: increased $5.1 million primarily due to increases in the amount of energy asset financings and corporate debt outstanding.
Previous wording
•Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to the increase in project revenues described above and higher depreciation expenses from the continued growth in our operating assets portfolio. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased due to energy asset production delays primarily due to weather effects.
Current wording
•Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the increased cost of revenues is primarily due to the increase in project revenues described above and higher depreciation expenses from the continued growth in our operating assets portfolio. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to a more favorable mix of higher-margin projects as well as growth in our operations and maintenance business.
Previous wording
•Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”): SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased from 2025 primarily due to increases in payroll and related benefits of $3.8 million and professional fees of $1.3 million, as well as a gain of $1.4 million recognized in 2025 from the sale of an energy technology and advisory services company late in 2024.
Current wording

Previous wording
•Other Expenses (Income), Net: Other expenses (income), net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased over 2025 primarily due to an increase in loss from foreign currency transactions of $0.9 million compared to gains of $1.5 million in the same period last year.
Current wording
•Other Expenses (Income), Net: Other expenses (income), net for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased over 2025 primarily due to an increase in loss from foreign currency transactions of $1.0 million compared to gains of $4.4 million in the same period last year.
Previous wording
•Income Tax (Benefit) Expense: the benefit for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal, state, provincial and local authorities and is affected by differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. We expect a higher effective tax rate in 2026 as compared to 2025 primarily attributable to our plan to sell more investment tax credits on energy assets during 2026.
Current wording
•Income Tax Benefit: the benefit for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal, state, provincial and local authorities and is affected by differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. The lower effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily due to higher investment tax credits forecasted on assets to be placed into service during 2026 versus 2025.We expect a higher effective tax rate benefit in 2026 as compared to 2025 primarily attributable to our plan to generate and hold more investment tax credits on energy assets placed in service during 2026.

We have arrangements with certain third-parties to provide advances to us during the construction or installation of projects for certain customers, typically federal governmental entities, in exchange for our assignment to the lenders of our rights to the long-term receivables arising from the ESPCs related to such projects. These financings totaled $505.2 million as of March 31, 2026. Under the terms of these financing arrangements, we are required to complete the construction or installation of the project in accordance with the contract with our customer, and the liability remains on our condensed consolidated balance sheets until the completed project is accepted by the customer.

Previous wording
We are the primary obligor for financing received, but only until final acceptance of the work by the customer. At this point recourse to us ceases and the ESPC receivables are transferred to the investor. The transfers of receivables under these agreements do not qualify for sales accounting until final customer acceptance of the work, so the advances from the investors are not classified as operating cash flows. Cash draws that we received under these ESPC agreements were $26.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and are recorded as financing cash inflows. The use of the cash received under these arrangements is to pay project costs classified as operating cash flows and totaled $9.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Due to the manner in which the ESPC contracts with the third-party investors are structured, our reported operating cash flows are materially impacted by the fact that operating cash flows only reflect the ESPC contract expenditure outflows and do not reflect any inflows from the corresponding contract revenues. Upon acceptance of the project by the federal customer the ESPC receivable and corresponding ESPC liability are removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a non-cash settlement.

Total project backlog: Total project backlog represents energy efficiency projects that are active within our sales cycle and include awarded and contracted backlog. Our sales cycle begins with the initial contact with the customer and ends, when successful, with a signed contract, also referred to as fully-contracted backlog. Our sales cycle averages 18 to 42 months.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Contracted backlog: Historically, approximately 90% of our awarded backlog projects have resulted in a signed contract. After the customer and Ameresco agree to the terms of the contract and the contract is executed, the project moves to fully-contracted backlog. The contracts reflected in our fully-contracted backlog typically have a construction period of 12 to 36 months and we typically expect to recognize revenue for such contracts over the same period. Consistent with our traditional projects, data center project will also move to fully-contracted backlog after the customer and Ameresco agree to the terms of either an offtake or EPC agreement and the agreements are executed.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
12-month backlog: We define our 12-month backlog as the estimated amount of revenue that we expect to recognize in the next twelve months from our fully-contracted backlog.

•Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit: the increase in cost of revenues is primarily due to the increase in project revenues described above and higher depreciation expenses from the continued growth in our operating assets portfolio. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased primarily in our energy asset and operations and maintenance businesses due in part to growth in these businesses as noted above, production tax credits earned, and the benefit of annual price increases on relatively stable costs on certain operations and maintenance contracts.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
•Income Tax (Benefit) Expense: the benefit for income taxes is based on various rates set by federal, state, provincial and local authorities and is affected by differences between financial accounting and tax reporting requirements. The higher effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily due to higher income offset by higher investment tax credits forecasted on assets to be placed in service during 2026 versus lower income in 2025 as well as lower investment tax credits earned in 2025. We expect a higher effective tax rate benefit in 2026 as compared to 2025 primarily attributable to our plan generate and hold more investment tax credits on energy assets placed into service during 2026.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
•Net Income and Earnings Per Share: Net income decreased due to the reasons described above as well as the impact of gains attributable to non-controlling interest and redeemable non-controlling interest of 10.2 million.

The August 2024 agreement with SCE confirmed that the final resolution related to our obligation to pay the liquidated damages withheld and the applicability and scope of any force majeure relief as well as any cost recovery we may be entitled to remain subject to dispute. We are continuing discussions with SCE on these matters, and our view continues to be that liquidated damages should not be applied. If we fail to come to an agreement with SCE about the applicability and scope of force majeure relief and liquidated damages, we may be required to pay liquidated damages up to an aggregate maximum of $89 million and may not be able to recover costs associated with the force majeure events.
