BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- Correlate Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (OTCQB: CIPI) (“Correlate” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled energy optimization and clean energy solutions provider for the North American real estate industry, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and year to date ended June 30, 2022.

• Reported revenues totaled $236,690 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,584 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. The significant increase resulted from the shift in the business to commercialization, compared to previous quarters where there was significant product development.
• Customer deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2022, totaled $1,114,154, compared to $0 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. These customer deposits represent approximately 32% of revenue from contracts with three key customers whose projects are under installation. The Company’s revenue recognition policy will provide for substantially all of the remaining revenue for these three contracts during the second half of the year.
• Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, totaled $1,444,794, compared to $4,937 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. This was driven by higher professional fees associated with acquisition activities and higher wage expenses associated with hiring new personnel to support growth.
• The Company currently has project opportunities valued at $74 million from recent awards at different stages, including projects that have been awarded with agreements in development and contracts that have been executed and under installation.
• As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized revenue (a non-GAAP measure¹) was $3.25 million for executed projects currently under installation at customer locations.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Business Outlook

With an expanding pipeline, including approximately $100 million of actionable current project opportunities, Correlate expects rapid growth –  especially with growing momentum from the recent passage of the historic climate and tax bill by the Senate.

¹ Correlate performs certain adjustments to GAAP revenue to approximate expected revenue from executed contracts in place, which are either under installation or pre-installation. Customer deposits represent cash that has been received from contracted customers but not yet recognized as revenue under GAAP. Additional contracted revenue represents any other expected revenue from contracted customers, but certain milestones have not yet been achieved. Correlate considers non-GAAP revenue to be important indicators of the operational strength of the business, because it indicates the value that each of the contracted projects will bring to the Company in the near term. All current projects under construction are expected to be completed within six months.

² Correlate considers customer engagement revenue to represent opportunities that are under discussion with potential customers. Correlate has applied a probability percentage to account for attrition based on management’s industry experience.

³ Correlate considers awarded revenue to represent opportunities that have been commercially agreed upon between customers and Correlate, subject to final contract. Correlate has applied a probability percentage to account for attrition based on management’s industry experience.

⁴ Correlate considers installation revenue to represent contracts that have been executed and are either under construction or in pre-construction. Correlate has applied a probability percentage to account for attrition based on management’s industry experience. A portion of the anticipated revenue under installation is expected to result from the consummation of certain project acquisition activities.

“Cash received for contracted projects during the second quarter exceeded reported revenue. Looking ahead, the Company anticipates accelerated growth as it executes on milestones from awarded and contracted projects that will allow us to recognize revenue,” said Channing Chen, Chief Financial Officer of Correlate. “In addition to current project opportunities, the Company has a growing pipeline of opportunities from the commercial real estate sector.”
