Ameresco Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 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, “This was another strong quarter for Ameresco as the team continued its excellent execution across our broad operating footprint. Revenue growth of 8% exceeded our expectations, particularly considering the strong first quarter results during which we executed on projects worth approximately $30 million faster than anticipated. Second quarter revenue performance reflected strength across our business lines and was driven by continued growth in Europe and our Energy Asset business. Adjusted EBITDA increased 24%, demonstrating the significant operating leverage we believe is inherent in our Company’s unique business model, while Non-GAAP EPS was $0.17 higher from a year ago. In the second quarter, we also continued to further strengthen our foundation for future profitable growth with successful business development activities. The Company added over $550.0 million of new project awards during the quarter. Total Project Backlog stands at a record of $5.1 billion, with Energy Infrastructure and resiliency projects accounting for almost half.

“Rapidly increasing demand for electricity, rising utility rates and growing grid instability continue to drive tremendous interest and demand for our broad portfolio of Energy Infrastructure solutions. Our diverse portfolio of solutions includes natural gas-powered engines, co-gen equipment, hydroelectric power, other power generation technologies, as well as renewables, BESS and microgrid offerings. And to ensure we are active participants in the evolving Small Modular Reactor, or SMR market, we recently added a seasoned executive to lead the development of our Nuclear Partner Program. Our significant growth in Europe furthered our ongoing geographic diversification. To support this growth, we hired a key executive in Continental Europe. We believe this diversification and our continued investments in executive talent and leading-edge technologies allow us to thrive,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.

Second Quarter Financial Results
(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted.)

Total revenue of $472.3 million increased 8%. Continued growth in Europe combined with our focus on project execution and the conversion of our backlog drove solid growth of 8% in our Projects revenue to $358.1 million. Energy Asset revenue grew 18% to $62.9 million, continuing to benefit from the cumulative impact of long-term contracts associated with our growing portfolio of operating Energy Assets. O&M revenue increased 7%, and Other revenue of $23.3 million was lower due to the sale of AEG at the end of 2024. Gross margin of 15.5% was in line with expectations. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $12.9 million with EPS and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.24 and $0.27, respectively. Q2 net income and EPS were positively impacted by $4.3 million in non-cash, mark-to-market gains on certain unhedged derivatives, and $3.0 million of fx translation gains. Adjusted EBITDA increased 24% to $56.1 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Metrics

The Company ended the quarter with $81.6 million in unrestricted cash with total corporate debt including our subordinated debt, term loans and drawn amounts on our revolving line of credit increasing to $294.1 million. Corporate debt increased in order to support our working capital needs given the continued growth of our business. During the quarter the Company successfully executed approximately $175.0 million in project financing commitments and the sale of over $70.0 million in RNG-related tax credits. Our Energy Asset Debt was $1.5 billion with an Energy Debt Advance rate of 74% on the Energy Asset Book Value. Our Adjusted Cash from Operations during the quarter was $49.6 million. Our 8-quarter rolling average Adjusted Cash from Operations was $46.9 million.

Outlook

“We are pleased to note that our business with the Federal Government is returning to a more normalized cadence, and while we continue to evaluate the industry changes brought about by the OBBB Act, we do not believe that these changes will have a material impact on Ameresco in the short term. With our strong first half results together with our visibility into the remainder of the year, we are pleased to reiterate our 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.9 billion and $235 million at the midpoints of our ranges, respectively.”

Our 2025 guidance does not include the potential impact of a change in accounting principle related to sale-leaseback arrangements that continues to be assessed.
