Legal Disclaimer

  • This presentation and the accompanying oral presentations contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Sunnova's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "going to," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Sunnova's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Sunnova's future customer growth rate, future contracted customer value, future financial and operating performance, including its outlook and guidance, demand for Sunnova's products and services, future financing and ability to raise capital therefrom, maintenance and growth of our dealer network and the future of solar energy and energy storage services. Sunnova's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including risks regarding our ability to forecast our business due to our limited operating history, our competition, fluctuations in the solar and home-building markets, our ability to attract and retain dealers and customers and our dealer and strategic partner relationships. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in Sunnova's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Sunnova's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based on information available to Sunnova as of the date hereof, and Sunnova disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
  • In addition to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation and the accompanying oral presentation include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Operating Expense. These non-GAAP measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Expense are non-GAAP financial measures that help management, investors and securities analysts in evaluating Sunnova's performance. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Expense are net income/loss and total operating expense, respectively. Adjusted Operating Cash Flows is a non-GAAP measure that helps management, investors and analysts in evaluating Sunnova's liquidity and ability to service its contractual obligations. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of liquidity. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is net cash used in operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flows and Adjusted Operating Expense have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Sunnova's results as reported under GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Operating Expense are not necessarily comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow or Adjusted Operating Expense as calculated by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the appendix to this presentation for historical periods. Sunnova is unable to reconcile projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP because of fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on our unrealized and realized interest rate hedge gains or losses. Sunnova provides a range for the forecasts of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to allow for the variability in the timing of cash receipts and disbursements, customer utilization of our assets, and the impact on the related reconciling items, many of which interplay with each other. Therefore, the reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expense and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow to projected net income (loss), total operating expense, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as the case may be, is not available without unreasonable effort.
  • This presentation includes operational metrics such as number of customers, weighted average number of customers and estimated net and gross contracted customer value. These operational metrics are not necessarily comparable to the same or similar metrics as calculated by other companies.
  • This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation also contain market data, statistical data, estimates and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. This information involves many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information. Some data are also based on Sunnova's good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although Sunnova believes these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in the industry publications and other publicly available information. Accordingly, Sunnova makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of that information nor do we undertake to update such information after the date of this presentation.

We believe this view of cash flow can be useful to investors as a measure of cash generated (used) by our existing operations, our growth, and our asset level financing.

2.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.

For more information about metrics and important notes regarding our financial statements please refer to our periodic reports filed with the SEC and our quarterly earnings presentations available on our website at investors.sunnova.com.

Cumulative Customer Count includes each customer that is party to an in-service solar service agreement. For our leases, power purchase agreements ("PPA") and loan agreements, in-service means the related solar energy system and, if applicable, energy storage system, must have met all the requirements to begin operation and be interconnected to the electrical grid. For our Sunnova Protect services, in-service means the customer's system must have met the requirements to have the service activated. We do not include in our number of customers any customer under a lease, PPA or loan agreement for whom we have terminated the contract and removed the solar energy system. We also do not include in our number of customers any customer of our Sunnova Protect services that has been in default under his or her solar service agreement in excess of six months.

Weighted Average Customer Count is calculated based on the number of months a given customer is in-service during a given measurement period. The weighted average customer count reflects the number of customers at the beginning of the period, plus the total number of new customers deployed during the period adjusted by a factor that accounts for the partial period nature of those new customers. For purposes of this calculation, we assume all new customers deployed during a month were added in the middle of that month.

New Customers Deployed includes all systems placed in-service during a given measurement period.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense, financing deal costs, natural disaster losses and related charges, net, amortization of payments to dealers for exclusivity and other bonus arrangements, legal settlements 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, costs of our initial public offering ("IPO"), losses on unenforceable contracts, losses on extinguishment of long-term debt, realized and unrealized gains and losses on fair value option instruments and other non-cash items such as non-cash compensation expense and asset retirement obligation ("ARO") accretion expense.

Interest Income and Principal Payments on Customer Notes Receivable, less Amounts Recorded in Revenue are considered key performance metrics because under our loan agreements, the customer obtains financing for the purchase of a solar energy system from us, and we agree to operate and maintain the solar energy system throughout the duration of the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, the customer makes scheduled principal and interest payments to us and has the option to prepay principal at any time in part or in full. Whereas we typically recognize payments from customers under our leases and PPAs as revenue, we recognize payments received from customers under our loan agreements (a) as interest income, to the extent attributable to earned interest on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system; (b) as a reduction of a note receivable on the balance sheet, to the extent attributable to a return of principal (whether scheduled or prepaid) on the contract that financed the customer's purchase of the solar energy system; and (c) as revenue, to the extent attributable to payments for operations and maintenance services provided by us.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is calculated as net cash used in operating activities plus principal proceeds from customer notes receivable and distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interests less payments to dealers for exclusivity and other bonus arrangements, inventory and prepaid inventory purchases and payments of non-capitalized costs related to our IPO.

Adjusted Operating Expense is calculated as total operating expense less depreciation and amortization expense, financing deal costs, natural disaster losses and related charges, net, amortization of payments to dealers for exclusivity and other bonus arrangements, legal settlements 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, costs of our IPO, losses on unenforceable contracts and other non-cash items such as non-cash compensation expense and ARO accretion expense.

Estimated Gross Contracted Customer Value represents the sum of the present value of the remaining estimated future net cash flows we expect to receive from existing customers during the initial contract term of our leases and PPAs, which are typically 25 years in length, plus the present value of future net cash flows we expect to receive from the sale of related solar renewable energy certificates ("SREC"), either under existing contracts or in future sales, plus the carrying value of outstanding customer loans on our balance sheet. From these aggregate estimated initial cash flows, we subtract the present value of estimated net cash distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interests and estimated operating, maintenance and administrative expenses associated with the solar service agreements. These estimated future cash flows reflect the projected monthly customer payments over the life of our solar service agreements and depend on various factors including but not limited to solar service agreement type, contracted rates, expected sun hours and the projected production capacity of the solar equipment installed. For the purpose of calculating this metric, we discount all future cash flows at 6% "unless otherwise specified". The anticipated operating, maintenance and administrative expenses included in the calculation of estimated gross contracted customer value include, among other things, expenses related to accounting, reporting, audit, insurance, maintenance and repairs. In the aggregate, we estimate these expenses are $20 per kilowatt per year initially, with 2% annual increases for inflation. We do not include maintenance and repair costs for inverters and similar equipment as those are largely covered by the applicable product and dealer warranties for the life of the product, but we do include additional cost for energy storage systems, which are only covered by a 10-year warranty.

Estimated Gross Renewal Customer Value represents the sum of the present value of future net cash flows we would receive from customers during two five-year renewal terms of our leases and PPAs, plus the present value of future net cash flows we expect to receive from the sale of related SRECs, either under existing contracts or in future sales. From these aggregate estimated renewal cash flows we subtract the present value of estimated net cash distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interests and the estimated operating, maintenance and administrative expenses associated with the solar service agreements. For the purpose of calculating this metric, we discount all future cash flows at 6% "unless otherwise specified". To calculate estimated renewal gross customer value, we use the established industry convention, which assumes 100% of solar leases and PPAs are renewed, due to the expected useful life of the system and costs to the customer associated with an election to purchase or remove the equipment. We further assume that these contracts are renewed at 90% of the contractual price in effect at expiration of the term of the solar service agreement. Because the customer has two renewal options of five years each, for the second renewal period we assume a contractual price of 90% of the price in the first renewal period. Our loan agreements do not contain a renewal feature, and therefore are not included in estimated renewal gross customer value.

Estimated Net Contracted Customer Value represents estimated gross contracted customer value, less debt, plus cash and restricted cash and construction in progress.

Estimated Net System Value Deployed represents the sum of estimated gross customer value, plus expected or received utility and up-front governmental incentives, to the extent not included in such estimated gross customer value, plus expected or received contributions from tax equity fund investors for redeemable noncontrolling interests in tax equity vehicles, as each relates to new customers placed in service within a specified period. From these aggregate estimated values, we subtract payments made or expected to be made to our dealers associated with customer solar energy systems.

Estimated Net System Value Deployed, Leases and PPAs represents the Estimated Net System Value Deployed attributable to our lease and PPA contracts and excludes amounts attributable to our loan contracts.

Creation Costs represents the property and equipment attributable to solar energy systems over the period plus all cash paid for customer notes receivable during the period plus the average amount recognized in each quarter for the trailing twelve months of payments to dealers for exclusivity and other bonus arrangements.

Creation Costs, Leases and PPAs represents Creation Costs attributable to our lease and PPA contracts and excludes amounts attributable to our loan contracts.

Cumulative Capital Deployed represents the property and equipment attributable to solar energy systems plus net customer notes receivable, less deferred revenue in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, plus payments to dealers for exclusivity and other bonus arrangements.
