Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE: AMPS) (“Altus Power” or the “Company”), a premier commercial-scale clean electrification company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

“We are thrilled to be reporting our best quarter ever in terms of revenue and adjusted EBITDA. During the third quarter we took steps to significantly expand our operating portfolio of commercial-scale solar assets, which contribute to our profitable growth," commented Gregg Felton, Co-CEO of Altus Power. "We are pleased to welcome all of these new long-term customers to Altus Power and look forward to expanding our relationships."

"This quarter's performance illustrates our determination to grow profitably in a challenging market environment," added Lars Norell, Co-CEO of Altus Power. "Our construction team is working in close collaboration with CBRE Project Management to move additional assets into construction throughout the United States.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Operating revenues during the third quarter of 2022 totaled $30.4 million, compared to $20.1 million during the same period of 2021, an increase of 51%. The increase reflects the growth of megawatts installed over the past twelve months. Third quarter 2022 GAAP net loss totaled $96.6 million, compared to net loss of $1.3 million for the same period last year. The increase in net loss during the quarter was driven by the $102.0 million loss from remeasurement of both warrants and alignment shares. This remeasurement is non-cash and is driven by the appreciation of Altus Power common share price between June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022. Both the warrants and alignment shares are revalued quarterly according to our share price at the end of each quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA* during the third quarter of 2022 was $19.4 million, compared to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, a 66% increase. The quarter over quarter growth in adjusted EBITDA* is primarily the result of increased revenue from additional solar energy facilities, partially offset by an increase in our general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin* during the third quarter of 2022 was 64%.

Closing of DESRI Portfolios

Altus Power announced today that the company has closed on the purchase of approximately 88 MWs of operating solar assets from D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments, L.L.C. (DESRI) which were previously under definitive agreements as announced on September 27, 2022.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Altus Power ended the third quarter of 2022 with $290.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and $545.0 million of total debt. The Company expects to fund its operations using available cash, additional borrowings under its debt facilities and third-party tax equity financing.

New Revolving Credit Facility

Today Altus Power announced it has obtained commitments with a syndicate of banks for up to $200 million revolving credit facility. This facility is expected to maximize the Company's financial flexibility and enhance its liquidity. The company is currently in the process of definitive documentation and will update the market if and when completed.

Completed Warrant Redemption

As announced on October 20, 2022 the Company completed redemption of all of its outstanding public and private warrants in exchange for a total of 4,058,845 shares of Class A Common Stock and net cash proceeds of $83,061. In connection with the redemption, the Public Warrants ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange on October 14, 2022 and were delisted. Please refer to the Companies press releases announcing the offering on September 15, 2022, completion of the offering on October 20, 2022 as well as our Warrant Holder redemption notice and Warrant Holder FAQ documents for additional information.

2022 Guidance

Altus Power's 2022 adjusted EBITDA* is expected to be near the low-end of its previous guidance. The primary driver for the revision to the company's adjusted EBITDA* outlook was the extended time to close its previously announced acquisition, which has now been completed. The Company's expectation for 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin* remains unchanged in the mid-50% range.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

*Denotes Non-GAAP financial measure. We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We believe certain financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, income tax expense, acquisition and entity formation costs, non-cash compensation expense, and excluding the effect of certain non-recurring items we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance such as, but not limited to, gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability, change in fair value of alignment shares, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other miscellaneous items of other income and expenses.

We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by operating revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to measure our performance. We believe that investors and analysts also use adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income and to adjusted EBITDA margin is net income over operating revenues. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to suggest that our future results will be unaffected by non-cash or non-recurring items. In addition, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not necessarily comparable to adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other companies and investors and analysts should read carefully the components of our calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to management, investors and analysts in providing a measure of core financial performance adjusted to allow for comparisons of results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis. These adjustments are intended to exclude items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our management for internal planning purposes, including our consolidated operating budget, and by our board of directors in setting performance-based compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to but viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, as we believe it provides a more complete understanding of ongoing business performance and trends than GAAP measures alone. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Altus Power does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, items such as acquisition and entity formation costs, gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability, change in fair value of alignment shares. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Altus Power’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements can be found under the heading “Risk Factors” in Altus Power’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24th, 2022, as well as the other information we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.
