Management Commentary & Outlook

“We were proud to have recently completed our transformational acquisition of Spruce Power, reflecting our company’s transition to a profitable leader in the fast-growing residential solar market,” said Eric Tech, Chief Executive Officer of XL Fleet. “We are in the final stages of our strategy to focus our company on delivering clean tech solutions to residential and small businesses, and are in advanced conversations with several interested parties related to the pursuit of strategic alternatives for XL Fleet’s legacy Drivetrain business. We expect to announce the outcome of this process in the coming weeks. With this final step, combined with our acquisition of a world-class business benefiting from the long-term structural growth in demand, we are confident in our ability to unlock the value of Spruce Power and its exciting growth trajectory.”

“Our team is more enthusiastic than ever about the opportunity to extend and accelerate the growth trajectory we’ve achieved to date,” said Christian Fong, President of XL Fleet and Chief Executive Officer of Spruce Power. “Our business performed well during the period, generating more than 134 million megawatt hours of power throughout the third quarter across our portfolio of more than 51,000 customers. Our business strategy as a third-party operator is uniquely positioned to deliver stability and strength across a range of macro environments.”

Mr. Fong continued, “Our differentiated M&A-driven growth strategy is better supported than ever with $240 million of cash on the balance sheet. Following the completion of our transaction with XL Fleet, our M&A team got right back to work, exercising to buy out the remaining equity interests in six residential solar portfolios for a total of approximately $7.7 million. While these transactions are smaller scale than our typical deals, these accretive buyouts are expected to drive unlevered IRRs of approximately 14%, which reflects returns we target and have achieved throughout our history. We continue to see strong upstream growth in customer installations, which represent potential future acquisitions for our M&A team.”

“Financial results for the third quarter of 2022 reflect approximately three weeks of contribution from Spruce Power following our acquisition completed on September 9, 2022,” said Don Klein, Chief Financial Officer of XL Fleet. “Spruce’s stable base of cash flows backed by long-term customer agreements continue to carry strong momentum into the end of 2022 and into next year. With $821 million of PV5 gross customer value exiting the third quarter, XL Fleet is well positioned to drive value for stakeholders over the near and long-term.”

Subscriber Value Metrics

  • Gross Total Subscriber Value reflects the remaining projected net cash flows from current customers discounted at 5% (“PV5”)
  • Projected cash flows include the customer’s initial agreement plus renewal

Gross Total Subscriber Value(4)

(1)

Gross Contracted Subscriber Value represents the present value of the remaining net cash flows discounted at 5% during the initial term of the company’s customer agreements as of the measurement date. It is calculated as the present value of cash flows discounted at 5% that the company expects to receive from subscribers in future periods as set forth in customer agreements, after deducting expected operating and maintenance costs, equipment replacements costs, distributions to tax equity partners in consolidated joint venture partnership flip structures, and distributions to third party project equity investors. The calculation includes cash flows the company expects to receive in future periods from state incentive and rebate programs, contracted sales of solar renewable energy credits, and awarded net cash flows from grid service programs with utilities or grid operators.
 

(2)

Gross Renewal Subscriber Value is the forecasted net present value the company would receive upon or following the expiration of the initial customer agreement term, but before the 30th anniversary of the system’s activation in the form of cash payments during any applicable renewal period for subscribers as of the measurement date. The company calculates the Gross Renewal Subscriber Value amount at the expiration of the initial contract term assuming either a system purchase or a renewal and a 30-year customer relationship (although the customer may renew for additional years, or purchase the system), at a contract rate equal to 90% of the customer’s contractual rate in effect at the end of the initial contract term. After the initial contract term, a majority of the company's customer agreements automatically renew on an annual basis and the rate is initially set at up to a 10% discount to then-prevailing utility power prices.
 

(3)

Uncontracted sales of solar renewable energy credits (RECs) based on forward market REC pricing curves, adjusted for liquidity discounts.
 

(4)

Gross Total Subscriber Value represents the sum of Gross Contracted Subscriber Value, Gross Renewal Subscriber Value and Uncontracted Renewable Energy Credits.
