Financial Results
“We continue to position ourselves for success despite the
challenging macroeconomic and capital markets environment” said
Jeffrey A. Lipson, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating
Officer. “Our recent closing of a Term Loan A is further
affirmation that our diverse funding strategy allows us to continue
to fund portfolio growth.”
Comparison of the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to the
quarter ended September 30, 2021
Total revenue increased by $11 million, driven by $8 million in
higher interest income from a larger portfolio. There was a $3
million increase in gain on sale and fee income, driven by a change
in the mix and volume of assets being securitized.
Interest expense increased $2 million primarily due to a larger
average outstanding debt balance. We released $2 million of our
allowance for loss on receivables driven by improved expectations
related to loans for which we had previously specifically reserved,
offset partially by reserves on new loans and loan commitments.
Other expenses (compensation and benefits and general and
administrative expenses) increased by approximately $4 million
primarily due to increased investment in corporate infrastructure
and corporate governance expenses.
We recognized income of $31 million using the hypothetical
liquidation at book value method (HLBV) for our equity method
investments in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $7
million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to income from
new projects in the current period and lower losses related to
economic hedges used by some of our projects to reduce the impact
of power price fluctuations.
Income tax expense increased by approximately $9 million in the
third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to an
increase in GAAP earnings.
GAAP net income (loss) in the third quarter of 2022 was $35
million, compared to $(3) million in the same period in 2021.
Distributable earnings in the third quarter of 2022 was
approximately $44 million, or an increase of approximately $9
million from the same period in 2021 due primarily to new assets
added to our portfolio.

This category includes our assets where

there is a moderate level of risk of not receiving some or all of

(3)
This category includes our assets where
based on our credit criteria and performance to date, we believe
there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to recover some or
all of our invested capital. Loans in this category are placed on
non-accrual status. In the second quarter of 2022, we moved to this
category from Category 2 $11 million of loans we had made in a new
market venture where the performance has not met expectations.
Previously included in this category were two commercial
receivables with a combined total carrying value of approximately
$8 million which were assignments of land lease payments from two
wind projects that we had originated in 2014, as a part of an
acquisition of a large land portfolio. In 2017, the operator of the
projects terminated the lease, at which time we filed a legal claim
and placed these assets on non-accrual status. In 2019, we received
a court decision indicating that the owners of the projects were
within their rights under the contract terms to terminate the lease
which impacts the land lease assignments to us, at which time we
reserved the receivables for their full carrying amount. In the
second quarter of 2022, we received a court decision indicating
that our appeal was not successful, and accordingly we charged off
the full amount of the receivable.

Total reconciles to the total of the
government receivables and commercial receivables lines of the

Some of the individual projects included
in portfolios that make up our equity method investments have
government off-takers. As they are part of large portfolios, they
are not classified separately.

Average remaining balance is calculated
gross of allowance for loss on receivables and excludes
approximately 227 transactions each with outstanding balances that

Guidance
The Company expects that annual distributable earnings per share
will grow at a compounded annual rate of 10% to 13% from 2021 to
2024, relative to the 2020 baseline of $1.55 per share, which is
equivalent to a 2024 midpoint of $2.40 per share. The Company also
expects growth of annual dividends per share to be at a compounded
annual rate of 5% to 8%. This guidance reflects the Company’s
judgments and estimates of (i) yield on its existing portfolio;
(ii) yield on incremental portfolio investments, inclusive of the
Company’s existing pipeline; (iii) the volume and profitability of
transactions; (iv) amount, timing, and costs of debt and equity
capital to fund new investments; (v) changes in costs and expenses
reflective of the Company’s forecasted operations; and (vi) the
general interest rate and market environment. All guidance is based
on current expectations of the ongoing and future impact of
COVID-19 and the speed and efficacy of vaccine distribution on
economic conditions, the regulatory environment, the dynamics of
the markets in which we operate and the judgment of the Company’s
management team, among other factors. In addition, distributions
are subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors on a
quarterly basis. The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as
discussed in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press
release.
Dividend
The Company is announcing today that its Board of Directors
approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per share of common
stock. This dividend will be paid on January 6, 2023, to
stockholders of record as of December 28, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements:
Some of the information contained in this press release is
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For
these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in such Sections. These
forward-looking statements include information about possible or
assumed future results of our business, financial condition,
liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives, and include
the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus
(“COVID-19”). When we use the words “believe,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,”
“may” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking
statements. However, the absence of these words or similar
expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
All statements that address operating performance, events or
developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future
are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties. Investors are cautioned against placing undue
reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
described in the forward-looking statements include those discussed
under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K as well as in other periodic reports that we
file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC").
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on
which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances, including, but not limited to, unanticipated events,
after the date on which such statement is made, unless otherwise
required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not
possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it
assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent
to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any
forward-looking statement.
The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as forecasting a
comparable GAAP financial measure, such as net income, would
require that the Company apply the HLBV method to these
investments. In order to forecast under the HLBV method, the
Company would be required to make various assumptions related to
expected changes in the net asset value of the various entities and
how such changes would be allocated under HLBV. GAAP HLBV earnings
over a period of time are very sensitive to these assumptions
especially in regard to when a partnership transaction flips and
thus the liquidation scenarios change materially. The Company
believes that these assumptions would require unreasonable efforts
to complete and if completed, the wide variation in projected GAAP
earnings based upon a range of scenarios would not be meaningful to
investors. Accordingly, the Company has not included a GAAP
reconciliation table related to any distributable earnings
guidance.
Estimated carbon savings are calculated using the estimated
kilowatt hours, gallons of fuel oil, million British thermal units
of natural gas and gallons of water saved as appropriate, for each
project. The energy savings are converted into an estimate of
metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions based upon the project’s
location and the corresponding emissions factor data from the U.S.
Government and International Energy Agency. Portfolios of projects
are represented on an aggregate basis.

EXPLANATORY NOTES Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Distributable Earnings
We calculate distributable earnings as GAAP net income (loss)
excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, provisions for loss
on receivables, amortization of intangibles, non-cash provision
(benefit) for taxes, gains or (losses) from modification or
extinguishment of debt facilities, any one-time acquisition related
costs or non-cash tax charges and the earnings attributable to our
non-controlling interest of our Operating Partnership. We also make
an adjustment to our equity method investments in the renewable
energy projects as described below. We will use judgment in
determining when we will reflect the losses on receivables in our
distributable earnings. In making this determination we will
consider certain circumstances such as the time period in default
and sufficiency of collateral as well as the outcomes of any
related litigation. In the future, distributable earnings may also
exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain
other adjustments as approved by a majority of our independent
directors.
We believe a Non-GAAP measure, such as distributable earnings,
that adjusts for the items discussed above is and has been a
meaningful indicator of our economic performance in any one period
and is useful to our investors as well as management in evaluating
our performance as it relates to expected dividend payments over
time. As a REIT, we are required to distribute substantially all of
our taxable income to investors in the form of dividends, which are
a principal focus of our investors. Additionally, we believe that
our investors also use distributable earnings, or a comparable
supplemental performance measure, to evaluate and compare our
performance to that of our peers, and as such, we believe that the
disclosure of distributable earnings is useful to our
investors.
Certain of our equity method investments in renewable energy and
energy efficiency projects are structured using typical partnership
“flip” structures where the investors with cash distribution
preferences receive a pre-negotiated return consisting of priority
distributions from the project cash flows, in many cases, along
with tax attributes. Once this preferred return is achieved, the
partnership “flips” and the cash equity investor(s) receive more of
the cash flows through its equity interests while the previously
preferred investors retain an ongoing residual interest. We have
made investments in both the preferred and common equity of these
structures. Regardless of the nature of our equity interest, we
typically negotiate the purchase prices of our equity investments,
which have a finite expected life, based on our underwritten cash
flows discounted back to the net present value, based on a target
investment rate, with the cash flows to be received in the future
reflecting both a return on the capital (at the investment rate)
and a return of the capital we have committed to the project. We
use a similar approach in the underwriting of our receivables.
Under GAAP, we account for these equity method investments
utilizing the HLBV method. Under this method, we recognize income
or loss based on the change in the amount each partner would
receive, typically based on the negotiated profit and loss
allocation, if the assets were liquidated at book value, after
adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such
quarter. The HLBV allocations of income or loss may be impacted by
the receipt of tax attributes, as tax equity investors are
allocated losses in proportion to the tax benefits received, while
the sponsors of the project are allocated gains of a similar
amount. The investment tax credit typically used in solar projects
is a one-time credit which is realized in the quarter when the
project is considered operational for tax purposes and is fully
allocated under HLBV in that quarter (subject to an impairment
test) while the production tax credit used in wind is a ten year
credit and thus is allocated under HLBV over a ten year period. In
addition, the agreed upon allocations of the project’s cash flows
may differ materially from the profit and loss allocation used for
the HLBV calculations.
The cash distributions for those equity method investments where
we apply HLBV are segregated into a return on and return of capital
on our cash flow statement based on the cumulative income (loss)
that has been allocated using the HLBV method. However, as a result
of the application of the HLBV method, including the impact of tax
allocations, the high levels of depreciation and other non-cash
expenses that are common to renewable energy projects and the
differences between the agreed upon profit and loss and the cash
flow allocations, the distributions and thus the economic returns
(i.e., return on capital) achieved from the investment are often
significantly different from the income or loss that is allocated
to us under the HLBV method in any one period. Thus, in calculating
distributable earnings, for certain of these investments where
there are characteristics as described above, we further adjust
GAAP net income (loss) to take into account our calculation of the
return on capital (based upon the investment rate) from our
renewable energy equity method investments, as adjusted to reflect
the performance of the project and the cash distributed. We believe
this equity method investment adjustment to our GAAP net income
(loss) in calculating our distributable earnings measure is an
important supplement to the HLBV income allocations determined
under GAAP for an investor to understand the economic performance
of these investments where HLBV income can differ substantially
from the economic returns in any one period.
The following table provides our results related to our equity
method investments for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash collected during the three- and
nine-months ended September 30, 2022 includes $64 million in
proceeds from the issuance of debt by three of our equity method
investees, the repayment of which we have guaranteed.
Distributable earnings does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP), or an indication of our cash flow from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or a
measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available to
fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash
distributions. In addition, our methodology for calculating
distributable earnings may differ from the methodologies employed
by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental
performance measures, and accordingly, our reported distributable

Distributable earnings per share for the
three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are based on
89,635,572 shares and 83,912,769 shares outstanding, respectively,
which represents the weighted average number of fully-diluted
shares outstanding including our restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, long-term incentive plan units, and the
non-controlling interest in our Operating Partnership. We include
any potential common stock issuances related to share based
compensation units in the amount we believe is reasonably certain
to vest. As it relates to convertible notes, we will assess the
market characteristics around the instrument to determine if it is
more akin to debt or equity based on the value of the underlying
shares upon conversion. If the instrument is more debt-like then we
will include any related interest expense and exclude the
underlying shares issuable upon conversion of the instrument. If
the instrument is more equity-like and is more dilutive when
treated as equity then we will exclude any related interest expense
and include the weighted average shares underlying the
instrument.

In addition to these provisions, in the
second quarter of 2022 we wrote-off two commercial receivables with
a combined total carrying value of approximately $8 million which
represented assignments of land lease payments from two wind
projects that we had originated in 2014. In 2017, the operator of
the projects terminated the lease, at which time we filed a legal
claim and placed these assets on non-accrual status. In 2019, we
received a court decision indicating that the owners of the
projects were within their rights under the contract terms to
terminate the lease which impacts the land lease assignments to us,
at which time we reserved the receivables for their full carrying
amount. In the second quarter of 2022, we received a court decision
indicating that our appeal was not successful, and accordingly
wrote off the full amount of the receivable. We have excluded the
write off from Distributable earnings due to the infrequent
occurrence of credit losses as well as the unique nature of the
receivables, as the assignment of land lease payments from wind
projects represent a small portion of our total portfolio.

Distributable earnings per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are based on
88,612,178 shares and 83,118,733 shares outstanding, respectively,
which represents the weighted average number of fully-diluted
shares outstanding including our restricted stock awards,
restricted stock units, long-term incentive plan units, and the
non-controlling interest in our Operating Partnership. We include
any potential common stock issuances related to share based

Distributable Net Investment Income
We have a portfolio of debt and equity investments in climate
change solutions. We calculate distributable net investment income
by adjusting GAAP-based net investment income for those
distributable earnings adjustments described above which impact
investment income. We believe that this measure is useful to
investors as it shows the recurring income generated by our
Portfolio after the associated interest cost of debt financing. Our
management also uses distributable net investment income in this
way. Our non-GAAP distributable net investment income measure may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. The following is a reconciliation of our GAAP-based net
investment income to our distributable net investment income:

Managed Assets
As we both consolidate assets on our balance sheet and
securitize assets, certain of our receivables and other assets are
not reflected on our balance sheet where we may have a residual
interest in the performance of the investment, such as servicing
rights or a retained interest in cash flows. Thus, we present our
investments on a non-GAAP “managed” basis, which assumes that
securitized receivables are not sold. We believe that our Managed
Asset information is useful to investors because it portrays the
amount of both on- and off-balance sheet receivables that we
manage, which enables investors to understand and evaluate the
credit performance associated with our portfolio of receivables,
investments, and residual assets in securitized receivables. Our
non-GAAP Managed Assets measure may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation of our GAAP-based Portfolio to
our Managed Assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31,
