FRAMINGHAM, MA – November 3, 2025 – Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy infrastructure solutions provider, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 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, “Third quarter results were excellent and kept us on track to hit our full year 2025 guidance ranges, while also further strengthening our long- term revenue visibility. We achieved solid year-on-year growth across our key business segments, reflecting increased demand and improved execution. Adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue growth by a considerable margin, demonstrating the operating leverage we believe is inherent in the Ameresco business model. Demand for our energy infrastructure solutions remained robust, and we see our unique ability to offer flexible financial options to our customers as a strong selling point.
We also further strengthened our long-term revenue visibility with successful business development activities that have resulted in new Project and O&M contract wins as well as growth in our Energy Asset portfolio. At the end of the third quarter, our total project backlog exceeded $5 billion, with $2.5 billion being contracted. Our customer base and technology solutions have also expanded. This year we have won mandates to provide customized solutions to a data center developer and a large steel producer, while also continuing to effectively serve our traditional civilian and military federal customers as well as the MUSH markets. Our Project and Asset wins have included solutions such as hydroelectric, hydrogen as well as firm generation and energy storage. We believe that we are at an important industry inflection point, and that Ameresco’s leadership in implementing customized energy solutions positions us to benefit from this demand,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.

Our 8-quarter rolling average Adjusted Cash from Operations was $51.9 million.
Outlook
“We are seeing a growing number of diversified opportunities on the horizon, as rapidly increasing demand for electricity, rising utility rates and growing grid instability continues to drive interest and demand for our broad portfolio of Energy Infrastructure solutions. With over 25 years of experience in providing these solutions, and our reputation for innovation and execution, we are confident in our ability to capture a significant share of these opportunities, which should help drive both near-term and long-term profitable growth. Our year-to-date results together with our visibility into the remainder of the year, support our 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.9 billion and $235 million, respectively, at the midpoints of our ranges. A prolonged government shutdown could delay some project award conversions and shift some revenue timing, but we do not anticipate this would have a material impact on our fourth quarter results.
We believe our business momentum, together with the visibility from our project backlog and recurring revenue streams underpins our ability to achieve our long-term target growth rates of 10% revenue and 20% adjusted EBITDA in the years ahead,” Mr. Sakellaris concluded.
Our 2025 guidance does not include the potential impact of a change in accounting principle related to sale-leaseback arrangements that continue to be assessed.
| FY 2025 Guidance Ranges | ||||||||
| Revenue | $1.85 billion | $1.95 billion | ||||||
| Gross Margin | 15.5% | 16.0% | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $225 million | $245 million | ||||||
| Depreciation & Amortization | $103 million | $105 million | ||||||

| Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest | $(5) million | $(8) million | ||||||
| Non-GAAP EPS | $0.70 | $0.90 | ||||||
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS guidance excludes the impact of redeemable non-controlling interest activity, one-time charges, asset impairment charges, changes in contingent consideration, restructuring activities, as well as any related tax impact.

(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 a 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.
