Hannon Armstrong - Investing in the Future of Energy(SM) (PRNewsFoto/Hannon Armstrong)

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Delivered $0.32 GAAP EPS in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.23 in the second quarter of 2017
  • Delivered $0.39 Core EPS in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.34 in the second quarter of 2017
  • Confirming expected 2018 annual Core EPS growth over 2017 to be between 2% to 6%, equivalent to $1.32 at the midpoint
  • Pipeline remains over $2.5 billion
  • Closed approximately $200 million of transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2018, continue to target $1 billion for the year
  • Maintained a fixed-rate debt level of 89% as of June 30, 2018
  • An estimated 62,000 metric tons of annual carbon emissions will be offset by second quarter transactions equating to a CarbonCount® score of 0.31 metric tons per $1,000 invested
  • Became a signatory to the UN Global Compact in July 2018, the world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative

"As expected, we securitized a higher percentage of investments in the quarter, thus, generating higher core earnings," said Jeffrey Eckel, President & CEO.  "The flexibility in our business model allows us to take advantage of securitization markets, when the broader rate environment - like the one we continue to experience today, is less attractive for adding assets to our balance sheet.  As a result -- and as previously discussed -- we expect some variability in earnings over the next several quarters," continued Eckel.  "Our identified investment pipeline remains robust and our end markets continue to expand.  We are pleased to announce our first stormwater remediation investment, which we made this quarter.  Environmental stewardship continues to be a driving force for our investments and we look forward to the continued expansion in this particular market, among others addressing climate change impact, mitigation and resiliency."

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Revenue grew by approximately $8 million, or 27%, for the three months, and approximately $12 million, or 22%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same periods in 2017. Increases in the quarter and year to date were primarily driven by higher gain on sale and fee income of approximately $7 million and $10 million, respectively, due to increased securitization activity. The revenue growth was offset by an approximately $4 million increase in interest expense for the three months, and an approximately $9 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same periods in 2017. This increase was primarily the result of higher average outstanding borrowings, a higher percentage of fixed-rate debt and an increase in interest rates.

Other expenses (compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses) increased by $1 million for both GAAP and core for the three months, and by $2 million (GAAP) and by $3 million (core) for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017 due primarily to an increase in the size of the Company.

For the second quarter, income from equity method investments increased by approximately $2 million due in large part to one-time changes in tax law recognized in the quarter.  On a year to date basis, income from equity method investments decreased by approximately $4 million primarily as a result of a non-cash HLBV loss on an equity method investment recorded in the first quarter of 2018.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a GAAP net income of $17 million for the quarter, an increase of $5 million over the same quarter last year. On a year to date basis, GAAP net income decreased by approximately $4 million as a result of the equity method loss in the first quarter discussed above.

Core earnings grew by approximately $3 million over the same quarter last year primarily due to the increase in gain on sale income.  Core earnings grew by approximately $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 over the same periods in 2017 primarily as a result of higher core earnings from our equity method investments. For additional information please see "Explanatory Notes - Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Core Earnings."

A reconciliation of our GAAP net income to core earnings is included in this press release.

Floating-rate borrowings include borrowings under our floating-rate credit facilities and approximately $56 million and $207 million of nonrecourse debt with floating rate exposure as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Approximately $32 million of the June 30, 2018 floating rate exposure is hedged beginning in 2019.



(2)

Fixed-rate debt also includes the present notional value of nonrecourse debt that is hedged using interest rate swaps. Debt excludes securitizations that are not consolidated on our balance sheet.



(3)

Leverage, as measured by our debt-to-equity ratio. This calculation excludes securitizations that are not consolidated on our balance sheet (where the collateral is typically financing receivables with U.S. government obligors).

 
















"Increased gain on sale securitizations offset the impact of the cost of our continued high level of fixed rate debt in the quarter," said Brendan Herron, Chief Financial Officer.  "We expect our fixed-rate debt level to stay near or slightly above the high end of our 60% to 85% fixed debt target range given the continued focus of the Fed on raising short-term rates."

Portfolio

Our Portfolio totaled approximately $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2018, and included approximately $1.0 billion of behind-the-meter assets, approximately $0.9 billion of grid-connected assets and approximately $0.1 billion of other sustainable infrastructure investments.

Excludes approximately 150 transactions each with outstanding balances that are less than $1 million and that in the aggregate total $57 million.

Guidance

The Company is confirming its previously issued 2018 guidance for annual core earnings per share growth of 2% to 6% for 2018 compared to 2017 and its three-year guidance with respect to core earnings per share growth, on a compounded annual basis over the next three years, in the 2% to 6% range.

This guidance reflects the Company's estimates of (i) yield on its existing Portfolio; (ii) yield on incremental Portfolio investments, inclusive of the Company's existing pipeline; (iii) amount, timing, and costs of debt and equity capital to fund new investments; (iv) changes in costs and expenses reflective of the Company's forecasted operations, and (v) the general interest rate and market environment. All guidance is based on current expectations of future economic conditions, the regulatory environment, the dynamics of the markets in which it operates and the judgment of the Company's management team. The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as discussed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this press release.

Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, assumptions and expectations as of the date of this press release. Any forward- looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this earnings release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The confirmed guidance reflects the Company's estimates of (i) yield on its existing Portfolio; (ii) yield on incremental Portfolio investments, inclusive of the Company's existing pipeline; (iii) amount, timing, and costs of debt and equity capital to fund new investments; (iv) changes in costs and expenses reflective of the Company's forecasted operations and (v) the general interest rate and market environment. All guidance is based on current expectations of future economic conditions, the regulatory environment, the dynamics of the markets in which it operates and the judgment of the Company's management team.

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 transactions 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 Core Earnings guidance.

Estimates of incremental costs due to fixed rate debt is based on the ending balance and debt rate in the current quarter compared to the average debt rate in the comparable quarter in the prior year and uses the weighted average share count used for core earnings for the current quarter.  Estimated carbon savings are calculated using the estimated kilowatt hours ("kWh"), gallons of fuel oil, million British thermal units ("MMBtus") 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.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Our most recent quarterly report on Form 10Q, annual report on Form10K, or other regulatory filings may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Earnings

We calculate core earnings as GAAP net income excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, non-cash provision for credit losses, amortization of intangibles, 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. In the future, core earnings may also exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as approved by a majority of our independent directors.

Certain of our equity method investments in renewable energy projects are structured using typical partnership "flip" structures where we, along with any other institutional investors, if any, receive a pre-negotiated preferred 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 renewable energy company, which operates the project, receives more of the cash flows through its equity interests while we, and any other institutional investors, retain an ongoing residual interest. We typically negotiate the purchase prices of our equity investments, which have a finite expected life, based on our assessment of the expected cash flows we will receive from these projects discounted back to the net present value, based on a target investment rate, with the expected 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 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 are also 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. 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 our equity method investments are segregated into a return on and return of capital on our cash flow statement based on the cumulative income 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. Thus, in calculating core earnings, we further adjust GAAP net income 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 adjustment to our GAAP net income in calculating our core 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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized income of $11 million and $8 million, respectively under GAAP for our equity investments in renewable energy projects. We reversed the GAAP income and recorded $10 million and $21 million for core earnings as discussed above to reflect our return on capital from these investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. This compares to the collected cash distributions from these equity method investments of approximately $40 million and $70 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, with the difference between core earnings and cash collected representing a return of capital.

We believe that core earnings provides an additional measure of our core operating performance by eliminating the impact of certain non-cash expenses and facilitating a comparison of our financial results to those of other comparable companies with fewer or no non-cash charges and comparison of our own operating results from period to period. Our management uses core earnings in this way. We believe that our investors also use core 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 core earnings is useful to our investors.

However, core earnings does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (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 core earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported core earnings may not be comparable to similar metrics reported by other REITs.
