Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE: AMPS) (“Altus Power” or the “Company”), a leading clean electrification company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021. Revenues for the full year 2021 were $71.8 million, compared with $45.3 million for full year 2020. The Company reported 2021 GAAP net income of $13.0 million, compared to a $1.9 million net loss in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 totaled $41.0 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin of 57%.*

“In 2021, Altus Power continued to drive our business forward, providing clean electrification options to customers and growing our operating footprint. At the same time, we executed on strategic partnerships and added key personnel to provide for our growing customer pipeline,” said Lars Norell, Co-CEO of Altus Power. “Altus Power expects to continue our success through emphasis on streamlined customer acquisition, leveraging digital capabilities and deploying low cost capital.”

Commercial Momentum Continuing

During 2021, Altus Power increased the size of its portfolio of assets by over 50% to a total of 362 megawatts of installed capacity. In 2022 Altus Power will continue its close collaboration with Blackstone Real Estate and cultivate new relationships under its agreement with CBRE.

Since the close of its business combination with CBRE Acquisition Holdings in December, Altus Power and CBRE’s Renewable Energy Solutions team have quickly identified a pool of CBRE clients that could immediately benefit from Altus Power’s clean energy project development expertise. This process has yielded immediate results, and the Company looks forward to executing on these and additional opportunities in the near future.

“We’ve hit the ground running with the CBRE team in 2022,” said Gregg Felton, Co-CEO of Altus Power. “The types of commercial partnerships we’re exploring are exactly what we envisioned under our agreement with CBRE. We look forward to the opportunity to partner with additional CBRE clients to reduce their electricity costs and help decarbonize their operations.

“Work also continues with our long-time partner Blackstone to prioritize and execute on clean energy opportunities across their commercial real estate holdings, highlighted by our recent 35 megawatt community solar award which will be hosted on Blackstone industrial real estate in New Jersey,” continued Felton.

Altus Power continues to prioritize the digitization of its processes, which promises to further streamline origination and construction workflows and reduce costs as Altus Power scales its business.

“Our number one digitization goal is building out the technology infrastructure that leverages CBRE’s vast data resources, allowing us to efficiently capitalize on our new relationship,” said Julia Sears, Chief Digital Officer at Altus Power. “By leveraging our enhanced technology platform to clearly identify the massive value Altus Power can deliver to our clients, we will be able to convert prospects into customers more efficiently, including for the ever-growing Community Solar market. Whether evaluating building and usage data, measuring client consumption, or managing our operations from initial customer engagement through construction and ongoing maintenance, we are investing in our technology platform to support all areas of our growth.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Revenues during the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $21.6 million, compared to $11.3 million during the same period of 2020, an increase of 92%.

Fourth quarter 2021 GAAP net income totaled $14.5 million, which included a $12.8 million one-time gain on sale, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA during the fourth quarter of 2021 was $12.9 million, compared to $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 129% increase.* The quarter over quarter growth in adjusted EBITDA is the result of increased revenue from additional solar energy facilities outpacing the increase of operating and general administrative expenses.*

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenues for the full year 2021 totaled $71.8 million, an increase of 59% over 2020 full year revenue of $45.3 million, primarily due to the increased number of solar energy facilities in our portfolio.

GAAP net income for full year 2021 totaled $13.0 million, including a one-time gain on sale of $12.8 million, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2021 totaled $41.0 million, an increase of 60% over 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million, due to the growth in revenue from additional solar energy facilities outpacing the increase of operating and general administrative expenses.*

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Altus Power ended 2021 with $326 million in unrestricted cash, and $546 million of total debt, resulting in net debt of $220 million. The Company expects to fund its operations using available cash, additional borrowings under debt facilities and third-party tax equity, for the foreseeable future.

Initiating 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance

Today Altus Power is initiating a 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $57-63 million, nearly 50% growth over 2021 at the midpoint.* Management focuses on adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as key measures of profitable growth and approximation of cash flow generation. Management will give further details on guidance during the Company’s earnings call.

Conference Call Information

The Altus Power management team will host a conference call to discuss its full year and fourth quarter 2021 financial results on Friday, March 25, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The call can be accessed via a live webcast accessible on the Events & Presentations page in the Investor Relations section of Altus Power’s website at www.altuspower.com. An archive of the webcast will be available after the call on the Investor Relations section of Altus Power’s website as well.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

*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.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a performance measure. We believe that investors and securities 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. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA 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 is not necessarily comparable to adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other companies.

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.
