Significant Accounting Policies

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Company’s 2022 annual report on Form 10-K on March 30, 2023, and the related notes which provide a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The information as of December 31, 2022, included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income, stockholders' equity, or cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $2.6 million was reclassified from other current liabilities to contract liability, current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. This change had no impact on total current liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheet. Further, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $0.9 million was reclassified from unrealized gain on interest rate swaps in the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to derivative assets in the changes in assets, and liabilities, excluding the effect of acquisitions section of the condensed consolidated cash flows. This change had no impact on cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, the Company uses estimates based on the best information available. Estimates are used for such items as the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with accounting for business combinations, the useful lives of the solar energy facilities, and inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), contingent consideration, and alignment shares.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the co-chief executive officers. Based on the financial information presented to and reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate the resources and in assessing the performance of the Company, the Company has determined it operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment, which includes revenue under power purchase agreements, revenue from net metering credit agreements, solar renewable energy credit revenue, rental income, performance based incentives and other revenue. The Company’s principal operations, revenue and decision-making functions are located in the United States.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash balances on deposit with financial institutions and readily marketable securities with original maturity dates of three months or less at the time of acquisition and are denominated in U.S. dollars. Pursuant to the budgeting process, the Company maintains certain cash and cash equivalents on hand for possible equipment replacement related costs.

The Company records cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements as restricted cash. Restricted cash is included in current portion of restricted cash and restricted cash, noncurrent portion on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and includes cash held with financial institutions for cash collateralized letters of credit pursuant to various financing and construction agreements.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash consist of the following:


	As of March 31, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	69,450	$	193,016
Current portion of restricted cash	3,376		2,404
Restricted cash, noncurrent portion	11,355		3,978
Total	$	84,181	$	199,398

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash balances.

The Company had one customer that individually accounted for 15.6% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023, and one customer that individually accounted for 15.0% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company had one customer that individually accounted for 28.0% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022, and one customer that individually accounted for 11.7% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Accounting Pronouncements

As a public company, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) either (1) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities, or (2) within the same time periods as non-public business entities, including early adoption when permissible. The Company expects to elect to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as non-public business entities, as indicated below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and has since released various amendments including ASU No. 2019-04. The new standard generally applies to financial assets and requires those assets to be reported at the amount expected to be realized. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2021-08 to account for the True Green II Acquisition (defined in Note 5, "Acquisitions"), and recognized $3.5 million of contract liability assumed through the business combination.
