1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Ameresco, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Ameresco,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) are unaudited, according to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in our opinion, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) of the results for the periods indicated.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our annual report on Form 10-K (“2021 Annual Report” or “2021 Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2022.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to result in global supply chain disruptions and the resurgence of COVID-19 and its variants has caused some governments to extend travel and other restrictions.
We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used, which may change in response to this evolving situation. Results of future operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by a number of factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions, potential loss of employees due to vaccine mandates, and uncertain demand. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations in the foreseeable future. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on us is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such impacts could exist for an extended period of time, even after the pandemic subsides.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2021 Form 10-K. We have included certain updates to those policies below.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:
March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021
Allowance for credit losses, beginning of period $ 2,263  $ 2,266 
Provision for bad debts 237  3 
Account write-offs and other (235) 41 
Allowance for credit losses, end of period $ 2,265  $ 2,310 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however, the guidance will only be available until December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact

AMERESCO, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands) (Unaudited) (Continued)
that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 provide optional expedients to the current guidance on contract modification and hedge accounting from the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires annual disclosures about certain types of government assistance received. ASU 2021-10 is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method, which expands the current single-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio to be hedged under the method. ASU 2022-01 is effective for our year ending beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard would have on our consolidated financial statements.
3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Disaggregation of Revenue
Our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were U.S. Regions, U.S. Federal, Canada, Non-Solar Distributed Generation (“Non-Solar DG”) and All Other. On January 1, 2022, we changed the structure of our internal organization and our “All Other” segment now includes our U.S.-based enterprise energy management services previously included in our U.S Regions segment and our U.S. Regions segment now includes U.S. project revenue and associated costs previously included in our Non-Solar DG segment. As a result, previously reported amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

Total contract liabilities $ 36,801  $ 40,615 
(1) Performance obligations that are expected to be completed beyond the next twelve months and are included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The increase in contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to revenue recognized of $381,949 offset by billings of $229,540. Contract assets also increased due to reclassifications, primarily from contract liabilities as a result of timing of customer payments. The decrease in contract liabilities was primarily driven by recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied exceeding increases from the receipt of advance payment from customers, and related billings. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized revenue of $33,077 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities and billed customers $23,723. Changes in contract liabilities are also driven by reclassifications to or from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments.
The decrease in contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to billings of approximately $144,539, partially offset by revenue recognized of $130,297. The decrease in contract liabilities was primarily driven by the receipt of advance payment from customers, and related billings, exceeding reductions from the recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized revenue of $45,483 that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities and billed customers $33,081. Changes in contract liabilities are also driven by reclassifications to or from contract assets as a result of timing of customer payments.

Performance Obligations
Our remaining performance obligations (“backlog”) represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. At March 31, 2022, we had contracted backlog of $2,553,770 of which approximately 48% is anticipated to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months. The remaining performance obligations primarily relate to the energy efficiency and renewable energy

Sale-leasebacks
In March 2022, we entered into an amendment to our August 2018 long-term financing facility which extended the end date of the agreement from March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022. We sold and leased back two energy assets for $8,201 in cash proceeds under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $220,367 remained available under this lending commitment.
In March 2022, we entered into an amendment to our December 2020 long-term financing facility which extended the end date of the agreement from December 31, 2021 to July 15, 2022. We sold and leased back one energy asset for $4,423 in cash proceeds under this facility during three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $11,515 remained available under this lending commitment.
These transactions are accounted for as failed sale leasebacks and are classified as long-term financing facilities. See Note 7 for additional information.

Senior Secured Credit Facility - Revolver and Term Loans
On March 4, 2022, we entered into the fifth amended and restated senior secured credit facility with five banks, which included the following amendments:
•increased the aggregate amount of total commitments from $245,000 to $495,000,
•increased the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments from $180,000 to $200,000,
•increased the existing term loan A from $65,000 to $75,000,
•extended the maturity date of the revolving commitment and term loan A from June 28, 2024 to March 4, 2025,
•added a delayed draw term loan A for up to $220,000 through a September 4, 2023 maturity date,
•increased the total funded debt to EBITDA covenant ratio from a maximum of 3.50 to 4.50 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022; 4.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, 4.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022; and 3.50 thereafter,
•specified the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of (a) cash flow of the core Ameresco companies, to (b) debt service of the core Ameresco companies as of the end of each fiscal quarter to be less than 1.5, and
•increased our limit under an energy conversation project financing to $650,000, which provides us with flexibility to grow our federal business further.
The revolving credit facility may be increased by an amount up to an additional $100,000 in increments of at least $25,000 at the approval of the lenders, subject to certain conditions.
We accounted for this amendment as a modification and at closing we incurred $2,048 in lenders fees which were reflected as debt discount and $352 in third party fees which were reflected as debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of the previous agreement are being amortized over the remaining term of the amended agreement, with the exception of $96 of costs relating to a previous syndicated lender which did not participate in this amendment. These costs were expensed in other expenses, net during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Construction Revolvers
Construction Revolver, 1.74%, due June 2022
In March 2022, we entered into a fourth amendment to the 1.74% construction revolver to extend this facility from March 2022 to June 2022. All remaining unpaid amounts outstanding under the facility are due at that time. As of March 31, 2022, $73,946 was available for borrowing under this facility.
On April 29, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours executed a joinder agreement to the 1.74% construction revolver, which added it as an additional borrower under the master construction loan agreement. At closing, we borrowed $9,800 for a solar and storage project.

Construction Revolver, 1.99%, due July 2022
As of March 31, 2022, $24,145 was available for borrowing under the 1.74% construction revolver.
8. INCOME TAXES
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $2,307 and $2,205 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The estimated effective annualized tax rate impacted by the period discrete items is a provision of 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a provision of 15.1% of estimated effective annualized tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2022 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar plants placed into service or are forecasted to be placed into service during 2022, state taxes, and the tax deductions related to the Section 179D deduction.
The principal reasons for the difference between the statutory rate and the estimated annual effective rate for 2021 were the effects of investment tax credits which we are entitled from solar plants placed into service or are forecasted placed into service during 2021, the tax deductions related to the Section 179D deduction, the deduction of compensation expense associated with certain employee stock options, and tax basis adjustments on certain partnership flip transactions.
Under GAAP accounting rules deferred taxes are shown on a net basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on taxing jurisdiction. Under the guidance, we have recorded long term deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities based on the underlying jurisdiction in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table sets forth the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits:

Tax Benefits
Balance, December 31, 2021 $ 900

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we issue letters of credit and performance bonds with our third-party lenders, to provide collateral.
Legal Proceedings
On November 6, 2017, we were served with a complaint filed by a customer against nine contractors, including us, claiming both physical damages to the customer’s tangible property and damages caused by various alleged defects in the design of the project through negligent acts and/or omissions, breaches of contract and breaches of the “implied warranty of good and workmanlike manner.” During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement and adjusted our accrual for the actual net loss after taking into account our insurance proceeds, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022. In addition, we reversed the loss recovery from insurance proceeds.

We are involved in a variety of other claims and other legal proceedings generally incidental to our normal business activities. While the outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Commitment as a Result of an Acquisition
In August 2018, we completed an acquisition which provided for a revenue earn-out contingent upon the acquired business meeting certain cumulative revenue targets over 5 years from the acquisition date. The fair value decreased from $678 at December 31, 2021 to $358 at March 31, 2022 and is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration will be paid annually in May, if any of the cumulative revenue targets are achieved. No payments have been made to date.
In December 2021, we completed our acquisition of Plug Smart which provided for an earn-out based on future EBITDA targets beginning with EBITDA performance for the month of December 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, over a five-year period through December 31, 2026. The maximum cumulative earn-out is $5,000 and we evaluated financial forecasts of the acquired business and concluded that the fair value of this earn-out was approximately $2,160 upon acquisition and remained consistent as of December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $2,061 and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. No payments have been made to date.
See note 10 for additional information.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
We recognize our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. 
Level 2: Inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. 
Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. 
The following table presents the input level used to determine the fair values of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Fair Value as of
Level March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021

Interest rate swap instruments 2 $ 2,220  $ 919

Long-term debt (Level 2) $ 726,649  $ 720,687  $ 442,429  $ 436,892 
The fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using discounted cash flows analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements which are considered to be level two inputs. There have been no transfers in or out of level two or three financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.
We are also required to periodically measure certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. We calculated the fair value used in our annual goodwill impairment analysis utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and determined that the inputs used were level 3 inputs. There were no assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

13. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Our subsidiaries with membership interests in the investment funds we formed have the right to elect to require the non-controlling interest holder to sell all of its membership units to our subsidiaries, a call option. Our investment funds also include rights for the non-controlling interest holder to elect to require our subsidiaries to purchase all of the non-controlling membership interests in the fund, a put option.
The call options are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The put options for the investment funds are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund.
We initially record our redeemable non-controlling interests at fair value on the date of acquisition and subsequently adjust to redemption value. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 redeemable non-controlling interests were reported at their carrying values, as the carrying value at each reporting period was greater than the estimated redemption value.

Overview
Ameresco is a leading clean technology integrator with a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy supply solutions. We help organizations meet energy savings and energy management challenges with an integrated comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy. Leveraging budget neutral solutions, including energy savings performance contracts (“ESPCs”) and power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), we aim to eliminate the financial barriers that traditionally hamper energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
Drawing from decades of experience, Ameresco develops tailored energy management projects for its customers in the commercial, industrial, local, state, and federal government, K-12 education, higher education, healthcare, public housing sectors, and utilities.
We provide solutions primarily throughout North America and the U.K. and our revenues are derived principally from energy efficiency projects, which entail the design, engineering, and installation of equipment and other measures that incorporate a range of innovative technology and techniques to improve the efficiency and control the operation of a facility’s energy infrastructure; this can include designing and constructing a central plant or cogeneration system for a customer providing power, heat and/or cooling to a building, or other small-scale plant that produces electricity, gas, heat or cooling from renewable sources of energy. We also derive revenue from long-term O&M contracts, energy supply contracts for renewable energy operating assets that we own, integrated-PV, and consulting and enterprise energy management services.
In addition to organic growth, strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses and assets have been an important part of our growth enabling us to broaden our service offerings and expand our geographical reach. In December 2021, we completed the acquisition of Plug Smart, an Ohio-based energy services company that specializes in the development and implementation of budget neutral capital improvement projects including building controls and building automation systems. This acquisition allows us to expand our existing pipeline and solution offerings in the smart buildings sector. The pro forma effects of this acquisition were not material to our operations for the fiscal years presented.

Key Factors and Trends
The Southern California Edison (“SCE”) Agreement
In October 2021, we entered into a contract with SCE to design and build three grid scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) at existing substation parcels throughout SCE’s service territory in California. 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.
We are obligated under the SCE Agreement to achieve substantial completion of all facilities, subject to extension for specified force majeure events and customer-caused delays, no later than August 1, 2022 (the “Guaranteed Completion Date”). If we fail to achieve substantial completion of any of the facilities by the Guaranteed Completion Date, as such date may be extended, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages. In addition, we provided availability and capacity guarantees under the SCE Agreement, failure of which entitles the customer to liquidated damages. We expect a material portion of our revenue for 2022 will be generated from this SCE Agreement, and a material portion of the contract expenditures under this agreement have been and are being incurred during the first half of 2022. If we fail to achieve the milestone dates or fail to meet the availability and capacity guarantees, we may be required to pay liquidated damages and under certain circumstances SCE may have a right to terminate the agreement.
As previously disclosed, at the end of March 2022, our battery supplier for the SCE battery storage project indicated that the COVID-19 lockdowns in several regions around China were having an adverse impact on the supplier’s ability to deliver batteries on the agreed upon timeline. In addition, the supplier indicated that newly implemented Chinese transportation safety policies may cause delays in the shipment of a portion of the batteries. Following a review of these circumstances, we provided SCE with a force majeure notice under the SCE Agreement as we determined that these circumstances may prevent us from fully completing all three BESS projects by the August 1, 2022 Guaranteed Completion Date. Under the SCE Agreement, the occurrence of force majeure events, including certain COVID-related delays, results in extensions of required completion deadlines without liquidated damages and an increase in the contract price, subject to the party claiming a force majeure event being in compliance with its contractual obligations. We are engaged in continuing discussions with SCE regarding the applicability and scope of any force majeure relief relating to these circumstances, and are also actively working with SCE, our suppliers, and governmental agencies to mitigate delays.
COVID-19, Supply Chain Disruptions, and Other Global Factors
We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our operations, financial results, and liquidity. The impact to our future operations and results, however, remains uncertain and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the emergence and spread of more transmissible variants, the overall duration and severity of the pandemic, and its impact on the global economy, our customers, and business and workforce disruptions. Infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic that may persist, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains, such as increased port congestion, and intermittent supplier delays as well as shortage of certain components needed for our business, such as lithium-ion battery cells for our energy storage products. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced supply chain disruptions, including as a result of COVID-19, causing delays in the timely delivery of material to customer sites and delays and disruptions in the completion of certain projects, including those pursuant to the SCE Agreement. This negatively impacted our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. We expect the trends of supply challenges to continue for the remainder of this year. 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. For example, in April 2022, we entered into a binding framework agreement term sheet with a battery manufacturer for the purchase and sale of battery energy storage (“BESS”) equipment for our BESS projects at committed amounts and agreed upon delivery dates for a period of several years. The purchase and sale commitment covers BESS equipment to be used for our BESS projects and assets. In connection with entering into the term sheet, we agreed to pay a $10 million deposit which will be credited against our future equipment purchases.
In March 2022, the US Department of Commerce announced that it is investigating if certain solar cell and panel imports from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia are circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders. We do not expect that this investigation will have a material impact on our business in the near term, as we have a stockpile of solar panels from a large purchase several years ago. However, the investigation and any resulting duties and tariffs imposed may disrupt the solar panel supply chain, increase the cost for solar cells and panels and ultimately impact the demand for clean energy solutions. We are monitoring the investigation closely.
27
Climate Change and Effects of Seasonality
The global emphasis on climate change and reducing carbon emissions has created opportunities for our industry. Sustainability has been at the forefront of our business since its inception, and we are committed to staying at the leading edge of innovation taking place in the energy sector. We believe the next decade will be marked by dramatic changes in the power infrastructure with resources shifting to more distributed assets, storage, and microgrids to increase overall reliability and resiliency. The sustainability efforts are impacted by regulations, and changes in the regulatory climate may impact the demand for our products and offerings. See “Our business depends in part on federal, state, provincial and local government support for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and a decline in such support could harm our business” and “Compliance with environmental laws could adversely affect our operating results” in Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2021 Annual Report.
Climate change also brings risks, as the impacts have caused us to experience more frequent and severe weather interferences, and this trend may continue. We are subject to seasonal fluctuations and construction cycles, particularly in climates that experience colder weather during the winter months, such as the northern United States and Canada, and climates that experience extreme weather events, such as wildfires, storms or flooding, or at educational institutions, where large projects are typically carried out during summer months when their facilities are unoccupied. In addition, government customers, many of which have fiscal years that do not coincide with ours, typically follow annual procurement cycles and appropriate funds on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Further, government contracting cycles can be affected by the timing of, and delays in, the legislative process related to government programs and incentives that help drive demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. As a result, our revenues and operating income in the third and fourth quarter are typically higher, and our revenues and operating income in the first quarter are typically lower, than in other quarters of the year, however, this may become harder to predict with the potential effects of climate change. As a result of such fluctuations, we may occasionally experience declines in revenues or earnings as compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and comparisons of our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful.
Our annual and quarterly financial results are also subject to significant fluctuations as a result of other factors, many of which are outside our control.
Stock-based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted 312,500 common stock options to certain employees under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. As a result, our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense increased from $41.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $46.3 million at March 31, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of four years. See Note 15 “Stock-based Compensation” for additional information.
Backlog and Awarded Projects
Backlog is an important metric for us because we believe strong order backlogs indicate growing demand and a healthy business over the medium to long term, conversely, a declining backlog could imply lower demand.
The following table presents our backlog:
As of March 31,
(In Thousands) 2022 2021
Project Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog $ 1,342,150  $ 787,815 
Awarded, not yet signed customer contracts 1,754,050  1,521,160 
Total project backlog $ 3,096,200  $ 2,308,975 
12-month project backlog $ 1,154,400  $ 607,000 
O&M Backlog
Fully-contracted backlog $ 1,211,620  $ 1,126,895 
12-month O&M backlog $ 73,400  $ 64,360 
Our $892 million SCE Agreement was entered into in October 2021 and significantly increased our fully-contracted backlog for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. We anticipate that the SCE Agreement will be an important driver of our results in 2022.
28
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 recently has been averaging 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. Recently, awarded projects have been taking an average of 12 to 24 months to result in a signed contract and convert 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.
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.
We define our 12-month backlog as the estimated amount of revenues 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 2021 Annual Report.
Assets in Development
Assets in development, which represents the potential design/build project value of small-scale renewable energy plants that have been awarded or for which we have secured development rights, were estimated at $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The portion of that total related to spending for Energy as a Service assets was approximately $60.0 million and $70.0 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This is another important metric because it helps us gauge our future capacity to generate electricity or deliver renewable gas fuel which contributes to our recurring revenue stream.
