CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve estimates, expectations, projections, goals, assumptions, known and unknown risks, and uncertainties and typically include words or variations of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “opportunities,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “initiatives,” “objective,” “forecast,” “target,” “potential,” “continue,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may” or other comparable terms and phrases. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that TerraForm Power, Inc. (“TerraForm Power” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) expects or anticipates will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of expected cash available for distribution, distributions growth, earnings, revenues, income, loss, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital structure, margin enhancements, cost savings, future growth, financing arrangements and other financial performance items (including future distributions per share), descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for future operations, products, or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results and speak only as of the date they are made. Although the Company believes its expectations and assumptions are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are listed below and further disclosed under the section entitled Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019:

•risks related to the proposed acquisition of all our outstanding Class A common stock by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) including whether it will be approved by shareholders and ultimately consummated;

•risks related to weather conditions at our wind and solar assets;

•the willingness and ability of counterparties to fulfill their obligations under offtake agreements;

•price fluctuations, termination provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements;

•our ability to enter into contracts to sell power at acceptable prices and terms, including as our offtake agreements expire;

•our ability to compete against traditional utilities and renewable energy companies;

•pending and future litigation;

•our ability to successfully close the acquisitions of, integrate or realize the anticipated benefits from the projects that we acquire from third parties, including our recently acquired portfolio of distributed generation assets;

•our ability to close, implement and realize the benefit of our cost and performance enhancement initiatives, including long-term service agreements and our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from such initiatives;

•equipment failure;

•risks related to the ability of our hedging activities to adequately manage our exposure to commodity and financial risk;

•risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on personnel, contract counterparties, power prices and financial markets;

•risks related to our operations being located internationally, including our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and political and economic uncertainties;

•government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and changes in tax laws, market rules, rates, tariffs, environmental laws, consumer protection laws, data privacy laws and policies affecting renewable energy;

•the regulated rate of return of renewable energy facilities in our Regulated Solar and Wind segment, a reduction of which could have a material negative impact on our results of operations;

•our ability to grow and make acquisitions with cash on hand, which may be limited by our cash distribution policy;

•fraud, bribery, corruption or other illegal acts;

•health, safety, security and environmental risk;

•the condition of the debt and equity capital markets and our ability to borrow additional funds and access capital markets, as well as our substantial indebtedness and the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness in the future;

•operating and financial restrictions placed on us and our subsidiaries related to agreements governing indebtedness;

•risks related to our relationship with Brookfield, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of sponsorship; and

•risks related to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data, or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by law. The foregoing list of factors that might cause results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties, which are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in subsequent Quarterly Reports, as well as additional factors we may describe from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and you should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION

TerraForm Power, Inc. (“TerraForm Power” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a holding company and its primary asset is an equity interest in TerraForm Power, LLC (“Terra LLC”). TerraForm Power is the managing member of Terra LLC and operates, controls and consolidates the business affairs of Terra LLC, which through its subsidiaries owns and operates renewable energy facilities that have long-term contractual arrangements to sell the electricity generated by these facilities to third parties. The related green energy certificates, ancillary services and other environmental attributes generated by these facilities are also sold to third parties. The Company is sponsored by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) and its primary business strategy is to acquire operating solar and wind assets in North America and Western Europe. The Company is a controlled affiliate of Brookfield. As of March 31, 2020, affiliates of Brookfield held approximately 62% of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”).

Brookfield Renewable Non-Binding Proposal and Signing of Reorganization Agreement

On January 11, 2020, the Company received an unsolicited and non-binding proposal (the “Brookfield Proposal”) from Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“Brookfield Renewable”), an affiliate of Brookfield, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, other than the approximately 62% shares held by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates. The Brookfield Proposal expressly conditioned the transaction contemplated thereby on the approval of a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) consisting solely of independent directors and the approval of a majority of the shares held by the Company’s stockholders not affiliated with Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates. Following the Company’s receipt of the Brookfield Proposal, the Board formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of non-executive, disinterested and independent directors to, among other things, review, evaluate and consider the Brookfield Proposal and, if the Special Committee deemed appropriate, negotiate a transaction with Brookfield Renewable or explore alternatives thereto. The Board resolutions establishing the Special Committee expressly provided that the Board would not approve the transaction contemplated by the Brookfield Proposal or any alternative thereto without a prior favorable recommendation by the Special Committee. As of March 31, 2020 Brookfield Renewable held an approximately 30% indirect economic interest in TerraForm Power.

On March 16, 2020, the Company, Brookfield Renewable and certain of their affiliates entered into a definitive agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) for Brookfield Renewable to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, other than the approximately 62% currently owned by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates (the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, the “Transactions”). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, each holder of a share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions will receive, at each such shareholder’s election, 0.381 of a Brookfield Renewable limited partnership unit or of a Class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of Brookfield Renewable Corporation, a Canadian subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable which is expected to be publicly listed as of the consummation of the Transactions. The Special Committee has unanimously recommended that the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders approve the Transactions. Consummation of the Transactions is subject to the non-waivable approval of a majority of the Company’s shareholders not affiliated with Brookfield Renewable, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. For a detailed description of the Reorganization and the Transactions, see Note 17. Related Parties.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the results of TerraForm Power, which consolidates Terra LLC through its controlling interest.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). They include the results of wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated and have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent interim period.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company uses estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and cash flows during the reporting period. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility in global markets and resulted in the imposition of quarantines or closures of office spaces, travel and transportation restrictions which, among other factors, have contributed to a widespread decline in economic activity, both globally and in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates in. The Company has assessed the impact of the pandemic and is not aware of specific events or circumstances that required material revisions to the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations would be affected.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards - Guidance Adopted in 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), to provide financial statement users with more useful information about the current expected credit losses (“CECL”). This ASU changes how entities measure credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recognized by utilizing a lifetime expected credit loss measurement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after January 1, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2020, and did not result in a material impact on the allowance for doubtful accounts. See Note 13. Concentration of Credit Risk for additional details related to the Company’s exposure to credit risk.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU removes some disclosure requirements, modifies others, and adds some new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020, which resulted in additional disclosures related to the financial assets classified as Level 3. See Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional details.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU amends the definition of a hosting arrangement and requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal use software guidance in ASC 350-402 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 as of January 1, 2020 did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The amendments in this ASU require reporting entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service provider are variable interests. These indirect interests should be considered on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety (as currently required in U.S. GAAP). The guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments in this guidance retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-17 as of January 1, 2020 did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides entities temporary optional guidance to ease potential accounting burdens to transition away from LIBOR or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued to alternative reference rates. This ASU applies to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The provisions in this ASU, among other things, simplify contract modification accounting and allow hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform to continue. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance and entities may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the timing of electing available optional expedients.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the effect of the new guidance to be material on its consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS

2020 Acquisition

Termosol Acquisition

On February 11, 2020, TERP Spanish Holdco, S.L.U., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition of a portfolio of two concentrated solar power facilities located in Spain with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 100 MW (Termosol 1 & 2) from NextEra Energy Spain Holdings B.V. The purchase price of this acquisition, including working capital adjustments, was $126.9 million (the “Termosol Acquisition”). The acquired facilities are regulated under the Spanish framework for renewable power, with approximately 18 years of remaining regulatory life. In connection with this acquisition, over 60 employees joined the Company the majority of whom perform in-house operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services for the acquired facilities. The Company funded the purchase price of the acquisition using a draw on the Revolver and cash available on hand. See Note 9. Long-term Debt for definitions and additional details.

The Company accounted for the Termosol Acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under this method, the total consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the consideration transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final accounting has not been completed since the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is still in process. The provisional amounts for this business combination are subject to revision until these evaluations are completed. The additional information needed by the Company to finalize the measurement of these provisional amounts include, but not limited to, the settlement of the amount of net working capital acquired, credit spreads and other information necessary to estimate the fair value of non-recourse project debt, the assessment of the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, and additional information to assess the discount rate factor used at the time of the acquisition. The provisional amounts for this business combination are subject to revision until these evaluations are completed.

The preliminary allocation of the acquisition-date fair values of assets and liabilities pertaining to this business combination as of March 31, 2020, was as follows:


(In thousands)	As of February 11, 2020
Renewable energy facilities¹	$	477,269
Accounts receivable	33,242
Other assets	7,550
Intangible assets	183,655
Deferred income taxes	14,419
Goodwill²	40,862
Total assets acquired	756,997
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities	16,609
Long-term debt	468,812
Asset retirement obligations	22,609
Derivative liabilities	147,536
Operating lease liabilities	17,139
Other liabilities	5,900
Total liabilities assumed	678,605
Purchase price, net of cash and restricted cash acquired³	$	78,392

———

(1)Includes $17.1 million operating lease right-of-use assets.

(2)The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of $40.9 million was recorded as goodwill and was assigned to the Regulated Solar and Wind segment. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies from the Company’s growing portfolio in Spain and the acquired employee knowledge of the operation and maintenance of concentrated solar power facilities.

(3)The Company acquired cash and cash equivalents of $22.0 million and restricted cash of $26.5 million as of the acquisition date.

The acquired non-financial assets primarily represent estimates of the fair value of acquired renewable energy facilities and intangible assets from licensing contracts using the cost and income approach. The key inputs used to estimate fair value included forecasted power pricing, operational data, asset useful lives, and a discount rate factor reflecting current market conditions at the time of the acquisition. These significant inputs were not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements (as defined in Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments). Refer below for additional disclosures related to the acquired finite-lived intangible assets.

The results of operations of the acquired entities are included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. The operating revenues and net income of the Termosol Acquisition reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $11.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Supplementary Data

The unaudited pro forma supplementary data presented in the table below gives effect to the Termosol Acquisition, as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2019. The pro forma net loss includes adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense for the valuation of renewable energy facilities and intangible assets and excludes the impact of acquisition costs. The unaudited pro forma supplementary data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the acquisition been consummated on the date assumed or of the Company’s results of operations for any future date.

2019 Acquisition

WGL Acquisition

On September 26, 2019, TerraForm Arcadia Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TerraForm Arcadia”), completed the acquisition of an approximately 320 megawatt (“MW”) distributed generation portfolio of renewable energy facilities in the United States (“U.S.”) from subsidiaries of AltaGas Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“AltaGas”), for a purchase price of $720.0 million, plus $15.1 million for working capital. The acquisition was pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated July 19, 2019, entered into by TerraForm Arcadia, WGL Energy Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WGL”), and WGSW, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WGSW”, and together with WGL, the “Sellers”), both subsidiaries of AltaGas (the “WGL Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the ownership of certain projects for which the Sellers had not yet received the required third party consents or had not completed construction (the “Delayed Projects”) were to be transferred to the Company once such third party consents were received or construction was completed, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Delayed Projects represented 9.0 MW of the combined nameplate capacity of the acquired renewable energy facilities as of March 31, 2020. The purchase price allocated to the Delayed Projects based on the Purchase Agreement as of March 31, 2020, was $13.0 million and is presented as Deposit on acquisitions in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the event that the title to certain Delayed Projects is not transferred to the Company within a certain period of time, the Company is entitled to a full refund of the value of these projects based on the Purchase Agreement. Subsequent to quarter end, the title to 2 Delayed Projects with an aggregate purchase value of approximately $10.3 million and a combined nameplate capacity of 4.8 MW was transferred to the Company in April 2020. As of the date of the issuance of this Quarterly Report, one Delayed Project, with a purchase value of approximately $2.7 million, remains to be transferred to the Company.

The Company funded the purchase price and the related initial costs of the WGL Acquisition with the net proceeds of $475.0 million Bridge Facility and the remainder from draws on the Revolver. See Note 9. Long-term Debt for definitions and additional details.

The Company accounted for the WGL Acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under this method, the total consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the consideration transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final accounting has not been completed since the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is still in process. The additional information needed by the Company to finalize the measurement of these provisional amounts include, but not limited to, additional information the estimation of the removal costs for the acquired assets, the completion of the transfer of the remaining Delayed Project, and the assessment of the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases. The provisional amounts for this business combination are subject to revision until these evaluations are completed.

The preliminary allocation of the acquisition-date fair values of assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests pertaining to this business combination as of March 31, 2020 were as follows:


(In thousands)	As of September 26, 2019 reported at December 31, 2019		Adjustments¹		As of September 26, 2019 reported at March 31, 2020

———

(1)The adjustments for the period were related to the transfer of title of certain Delayed Projects to the company during the three months ended March 31, 2020. See above for additional details.

(2)Includes $22.5 million operating lease right-of-use assets.

(3)The fair value of the non-controlling interests was determined using an income approach representing the best indicator of fair value and was supported by a discounted cash flow technique.

(4)The Company acquired cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million as of the acquisition date.

(5)The adjustment to the amount of cash paid for the period represents additional payment made by the Company in relation to the net working capital acquired.

The acquired non-financial assets primarily represent an estimate of the fair value of the acquired renewable energy facilities and intangible assets from PPAs using the cost and income approach. Key inputs used to estimate fair value included forecasted power pricing, operational data, asset useful lives and a discount rate factor reflecting current market conditions at the time of the acquisition. These significant inputs are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements, as defined in Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Refer below for additional disclosures related to the acquired finite-lived intangible assets.

The results of operations from the acquired entities are included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. The operating revenues and net income related to the WGL Acquisition reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were $16.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Intangibles at Acquisition Date

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values and the weighted average amortization periods of the acquired intangible assets and assumed intangible liabilities as of the acquisition date.

Depreciation expense related to renewable energy facilities was $93.6 million and $81.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Repowering Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company identified opportunities to repower 2 wind power plants in the Northeast U.S. with a combined nameplate capacity of 160 MW by replacing certain components of the wind turbines with newer equipment while preserving the existing towers, foundation and balance of plant. The Company views repowering

activities as opportunities to increase efficiency and extend the useful lives of existing renewable energy facilities. The Company performed impairment testing for these 2 wind power plants and did 0t record any impairment losses since it was determined that the expected undiscounted cash flows were greater than the net carrying amount of the related renewable energy facilities of $77.9 million and $79.4 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. If the Company determines to move forward with the repowering activities for one or both of these wind plants at a later stage, the Company will revise the estimated remaining useful lives of certain components of the renewable energy facilities that will be replaced in the repowering activities and accelerate the recognition of depreciation expense to no later than the removal date.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred and fair value of the non-controlling interests over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations, and reflects the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill balance is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table presents the activity of the goodwill balance for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

8. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company assesses entities for consolidation in accordance with ASC 810. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in renewable energy facilities when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity (“VOE”). The Company has a controlling financial interest in a VIE when its variable interest(s) provide it with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The VIEs own and operate renewable energy facilities in order to generate contracted cash flows. The VIEs were funded through a combination of equity contributions from the owners and non-recourse project-level debt. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities, the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support to the VIE, consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders.

VOEs are entities in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance its activities independently and (ii) the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity is consolidated.

For consolidated VIEs, the Company presented on its consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle specific obligations of the consolidated VIE, and the liabilities of its consolidated VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to the Company’s general assets outside of the VIE.

The carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the VIEs included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

(1)As of March 31, 2020.

(2)Represents the debt issued by TerraForm Power Operating, LLC (“Terra Operating LLC”) and guaranteed by Terra LLC and certain subsidiaries of TerraForm Operating LLC other than non-recourse subsidiaries as defined in the relevant debt agreements (except for certain unencumbered non-recourse subsidiaries).

(3)As discussed in Note 17. Related Parties, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Brookfield and one of its affiliates that establishes a $500.0 million senior secured sponsor line credit facility that terminates on October 16, 2022. The Company did not make any draws on this credit facility as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(4)Represents the Terra Operating LLC senior secured revolving credit facility with a limit of $800.0 million that is available for revolving loans and letters of credits and matures in October 2022 (the “Revolver”).

(5)Includes fixed rate debt and variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2020, 35% of this balance had a fixed interest rate and the remaining 65% of the balance had a variable interest rate. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates of a majority of the variable rate permanent financing non-recourse debt (see Note 11. Derivatives).

(6)Represents non-recourse senior secured term loan (“Bridge Facility”) maturing on September 24, 2020. It was issued to fund a portion of the consideration paid for the WGL Acquisition. The Company has a one-year extension option and intends, through its subsidiaries, to complete a refinancing of the balance on a long-term basis prior to maturity. The balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included within non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(7)Represents the weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2020.

Corporate Debt Covenants and Cross-Defaults

The terms of the Company’s corporate-level debt agreements and indentures include customary affirmative and negative covenants and provide for customary events of default, which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest and failure to timely deliver financial statements, including quarterly financial maintenance covenants for the Revolver. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant contained in the Revolver and estimates that it will continue to be in compliance with this leverage ratio covenant for the succeeding twelve-month period. Management estimates that, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company will continue to be in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant based, in part, on assumptions around project-level refinancing activities and forecasted operating income. However, if an event or a series of events occurs that results in a sustained material adverse impact on the Company’s revenues, operating results or cash flows (such as adverse impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise) the leverage ratio covenant in the Revolver could be breached. If the Company is unable to comply with or obtain potential modifications to such covenant prior to any breach, any noncompliance may trigger events of defaults under the Revolver, and

any arrangement for which there is a cross-default provision.

Non-recourse Project Financing

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have incurred long-term non-recourse debt obligations related to the renewable energy facilities that those subsidiaries own directly or indirectly. The indebtedness of these subsidiaries is typically secured by the renewable energy facilities or equity interests in subsidiaries that directly or indirectly hold renewable energy facilities with no recourse to TerraForm Power, Terra LLC or Terra Operating LLC other than limited or capped contingent support obligations, which in aggregate are not considered material to the Company’s business and financial condition. In connection with these financings and in the ordinary course of its business, the Company and its subsidiaries observe formalities and operating procedures to maintain each of their separate existence and can readily identify each of their separate assets and liabilities as separate and distinct from each other. As a result, these subsidiaries are legal entities that are separate and distinct from each of TerraForm Power, Terra LLC, Terra Operating LLC and the guarantors under the Senior Notes due 2023, the Senior Notes due 2028, the Senior Notes due 2030, the Revolver and the Sponsor Line.

United States Project Financing

On March 26, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a new non-recourse debt financing agreement issuing $246.0 million of 3.28% senior notes secured by approximately 218.0 MW utility-scale wind power plants located in the U.S. The Company used the net proceeds of this debt to (i) redeem, in full, the outstanding balance of the non-recourse project term debt previously incurred and secured by the subsidiary's assets, of which $215.2 million remained outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) redeem, in full, derivative liabilities related to interest rate swaps with the hedge counterparties of which $16.3 million remained outstanding, and (iii) pay for the fees and expenses related to the issuance. As a result of the extinguishment of the project-level debt, the Company recognized $3.6 million loss on modification and extinguishment of debt during the period ended March 31, 2020, representing the write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs as of the redemption date. The senior secured notes mature on June 30, 2037, and amortize on a seventeen-year amortization schedule.

Non-recourse Debt Defaults

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company reclassified $169.0 million of non-recourse long-term indebtedness, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts, to current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets due to defaults remaining as of the respective financial statements issuance dates. The defaults as of the March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 primarily consisted of indebtedness of the Company’s solar renewable energy facility in Chile. The Company continues to amortize deferred financing costs and debt discounts over the maturities of the respective financing agreements as before the violations, since the Company believes there is a reasonable likelihood that it will be, in due course, able to successfully negotiate waivers with the lenders and/or cure existing defaults. The Company’s management based this conclusion on (i) its past history of obtaining waivers and/or forbearance agreements with lenders, (ii) the nature and existence of active negotiations between the Company and the respective lenders to secure waivers, (iii) the Company’s timely servicing of these debt instruments, and (iv) the fact that no non-recourse financing has been accelerated to date and no project-level lender has notified the Company of such lenders election to enforce project security interests.

See Note 5. Cash and Cash Equivalents for discussion of corresponding restricted cash reclassifications to current as a result of these defaults.

Indebtedness Assumed on Acquisition

In connection with the Termosol Acquisition, the Company assumed $468.8 million of project-level debt secured by the acquired renewable energy facilities. The debt matures on December 31, 2036 and bears an average interest rate of 4.7%. As of March 31, 2020, the Company obtained all required change of control consents from the lenders.

Maturities

The aggregate contractual principal payments of long-term debt due after March 31, 2020, excluding the amortization of debt discounts, premiums and deferred financing costs, as stated in the financing agreements, are as follows:


(In thousands)	Remainder of 2020²		2021		2022		2023		2024		Thereafter		Total
Maturities of long-term debt¹	$	733,365	$	300,956	$	295,777	$	903,546	$	368,311	$	4,211,033	$	6,812,988

(2)Includes the $474.6 million Bridge Facility maturing on September 24, 2020. The Company has a one-year extension option and intends, through its subsidiaries, to complete a refinancing of the balance on a long-term basis prior to maturity. The balance, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included within non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

10. INCOME TAXES

The income tax expense (benefit) was calculated based on the income and losses before income tax between U.S. and foreign operations and consisted of the following:


(In thousands)	Current		Deferred		Total
Three months ended March 31, 2020
U.S. federal	$	—	$	15,357	$	15,357
State and local	122		8,420		8,542
Foreign	58		504		562

Loss before income tax expense	$	(42,785)		$	(40,208)
Income tax expense (benefit)	24,461			(4,151)
Effective tax rate	(57.2)		%	10.3		%

The overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was different than the statutory rate of 21% and was primarily due to the recognition of an additional valuation allowance on certain income tax benefits attributed to the Company, the allocation of losses to non-controlling interests, the effect of foreign and state taxes and, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the CARES Act, as discussed below.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had not identified any uncertain tax positions for which a liability was required under ASC 740-10. The Company expects to complete its analysis on tax positions related to the Termosol and WGL Acquisitions within the measurement period.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act included certain income tax provisions that may impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The CARES Act allows partnerships to deduct 50% of the 2019 Excess Business Interest Expense in 2020 without limitation under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) section 163(j). Terra LLC will include this provision in its tax return for the year ending December 31, 2020, and expects to receive an additional $56.9 million deduction. In addition, for the year ending December 31, 2020, the CARES Act allows corporations and partnerships to calculate their IRC 163(j) limitations to 50% of Adjusted Taxable Income from 30%. The Company will analyze the relevant provisions and make the most appropriate tax elections. The CARES Act also allows corporate taxpayers to temporarily carryback net operating losses (“NOL”) generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of such loss. Additionally, the CARES Act temporarily removes the 80% limitation imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company does not expect to be able to benefit from the NOL provisions as the Company is anticipated to incur a taxable loss during the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company reported the impact of the interest limitations on its valuation allowance of deferred taxes assets as of March 31, 2020.

11. DERIVATIVES

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company entered into derivative instruments, which include interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts to mitigate interest rate, foreign currency and commodity price exposures. If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company designates its derivative instruments as either cash flow hedges or net investment hedges. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of the expected future cash interest payments. Foreign currency contracts are used to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The objective of these practices is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. The Company also enters into commodity contracts to hedge price variability inherent in energy sales arrangements. The objectives of the commodity contracts are to minimize the impact of variability in spot energy prices and stabilize estimated revenue streams. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair values of the following derivative instruments were included in the respective balance sheet captions indicated below:

(2)Represents the netting of derivative exposures covered by qualifying master netting arrangements.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had posted letters of credit in the amount of $15.0 million, as collateral related to certain commodity contracts. Certain derivative contracts contain provisions providing the counterparties a lien on specific assets as collateral. There was 0 cash collateral received or pledged as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 related to the Company’s derivative transactions.

in the above table. The Company seeks to mitigate credit risk by transacting with a group of creditworthy financial institutions and through the use of master netting arrangements.

The Company elected to present all derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on the balance sheets as a right to set-off exists. The Company enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement that can govern multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties that typically provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. A right to set-off typically exists when the Company has a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement. No amounts were netted for commodity contracts as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019, as each of the commodity contracts were in a gain position.

The following table presents the notional amounts of derivative instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has interest rate swap agreements to hedge certain variable rate non-recourse debt. These interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting and were designated as cash flow hedges. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a variable interest rate. The change in the fair value of the components included in the effectiveness assessment of these derivatives is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the periods when the hedged transactions affect earnings (the payment of interest). The amounts deferred in AOCI and reclassified into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 related to these interest rate swaps are provided in the tables above. The loss expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months is approximately $12.6 million. The maximum term of outstanding interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments is 19 years.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of its net investment positions in certain subsidiaries with Euro (“€”) and Canadian dollar (“C$”) functional currencies and to manage its foreign exchange risk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investment in foreign operations, the effective portion of the net gains or losses attributable to changes in exchange rates are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments within AOCI. The recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded in AOCI is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantial liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation.

Cash flows from derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are classified as investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

There were no foreign currency contracts designated as of March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the total notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was €200 million and C$94.1 million. The maturity dates of these derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges range from 3 months to 33 months.

Commodity Contracts

The Company has 2 long-dated and physically-delivered commodity contracts that hedge variability in cash flows associated with the sales of power from certain wind renewable energy facilities located in Texas. NaN of these commodity contracts qualifies for hedge accounting and is designated as a cash flow hedge. The change in the fair value of the components included in the effectiveness assessment of this derivative is initially reported in AOCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the periods when the hedged transactions affect earnings (the sale of electricity). The amounts deferred in AOCI and reclassified into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 related to this commodity contract are provided in the tables above. The gain expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months is approximately $1.4 million. The maximum term of the outstanding commodity contract designated as a hedging instrument is 8 years.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that economically hedge the cash flows for non-recourse debt. These interest rate swaps pay a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a variable interest rate. The changes in fair value are recorded in interest expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as these derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company has foreign currency forward and option contracts that economically hedge its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. As these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows from foreign currency forward and option contracts are classified as investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commodity Contracts

The Company has commodity contracts that economically hedge commodity price variability inherent in certain electricity sales arrangements. If the Company sells electricity to an independent system operator market and there is no PPA available, it may enter into a commodity contract to hedge all or a portion of their estimated revenue stream. These commodity contracts require periodic settlements in which the Company receives a fixed price based on specified quantities of electricity and pays the counterparty a variable market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. As these derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in operating revenues, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of assets and liabilities are determined using either unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) or pricing inputs that are observable (Level 2) whenever that information is available and using unobservable inputs (Level 3) to estimate fair value only when relevant observable inputs are not available. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. If the inputs into the valuation are not corroborated by market data, in such instances, the valuation for these contracts is established using techniques including the extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts, as well as the calculation of implied volatilities. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3. The Company regularly evaluates and validates the inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 contracts by using pricing services to support the underlying market price of the commodity.

The Company uses a discounted cash flow valuation technique to determine the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. The primary inputs in the valuation models for commodity contracts are market observable forward commodity curves, risk-free discount rates, volatilities and, to a lesser degree, credit spreads. The primary inputs into the valuation of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are forward interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser degree, credit spreads.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table summarizes the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis classified in the fair value hierarchy (Level 1, 2 or 3) based on the inputs used for valuation in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets:


	As of March 31, 2020														As of December 31, 2019
(In thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Total derivative liabilities	$	—	$	306,009	$	—	$	306,009	$	—	$	135,363	$	—	$	135,363

The Company’s interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and financial commodity contracts are considered Level 2, since all significant inputs are corroborated by market observable data. The Company’s long-term physically settled commodity contracts (see Note 11. Derivatives) are considered Level 3 as they contain significant unobservable inputs. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The following table reconciles the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019

The Company measures the sensitivity of the fair value of its Level 3 commodity contracts to potential changes in commodity prices using a mark-to-market analysis based on the current forward commodity prices and estimates of the price volatility. An increase in power forward prices will produce a mark-to-market loss, while a decrease in prices will result in a mark-to-market gain. An increase in the estimates of the price volatility will produce a mark-to-market gain, while a decrease in volatility will result in a mark-to-market loss.

Fair Value of Debt

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:


	As of March 31, 2020						As of December 31, 2019
(In thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	6,762,793	$	7,076,275	$	6,235,382	$	6,512,188

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, except the corporate-level senior notes, was determined using inputs classified as Level 2 and a discounted cash flow approach using market rates for similar debt instruments. The fair value of the corporate-level senior notes is based on market price information which is classified as a Level 1 input. They are measured using the last available trades at the end of each respective period. The fair values of the Senior Notes due 2023, Senior Notes due 2028 and Senior Notes due 2030 were 99.3%, 105.0% and 98.0% of the face value as of March 31, 2020, respectively. The fair values of the Senior Notes due 2023, Senior Notes due 2028 and Senior Notes due 2030 were 103.4%, 105.8% and 102.2% of the face value as of December 31, 2019, respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to renewable energy facilities, goodwill and intangibles, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below the carrying value. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. When the impairment has occurred, the Company measures the required charges and adjusts the carrying value. For discussion about the impairment testing of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see Note 6. Renewable Energy Facilities.

13. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company’s financial assets are typically subject to concentrations of credit risk and primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative assets. The following table reflects the balances of the major financial assets that are subject to concentrations of credit risk as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


(In thousands)	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	390,501	$	349,500
Accounts receivable, net	190,745		167,865
Derivative assets	73,477		73,536
Total	$	654,723	$	590,901

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk related to the cash and cash equivalents that may exceed the insurable limits in the related jurisdictions. The maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk would generally equal the stated value of cash and cash equivalents in the above table. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with creditworthy financial institutions and, historically, did not experience any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company serves hundreds of customers in three continents, and, in the U.S., the Company’s customers are spread across various states resulting in the diversification of its customer base. Furthermore, a significant portion of the Company’s operating revenues are contracted through long-term PPAs with offtake counterparties that are government-backed entities and public utility companies that, on average, had an investment grade credit rating.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company earned $91.6 million from the Spanish Electricity System of which $78.1 million were billing through the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (“CNMC”). These operating revenues were earned within the Regulated Solar and Wind segment and represented 28.1% of the Company’s net consolidated operating revenues. The CNMC is the state-owned regulator of the Spanish Electricity System who collects the funds payable, mainly from the tariffs to end user customers, and is responsible for the calculation and the settlement of regulated payments. The Company’s management believes that this concentration of risk is mitigated by, among other things, the indirect support of the Spanish government for the CNMC’s obligations and, in general, by the regulated rate system in Spain.

Notwithstanding the creditworthiness and diversification of the Company’s offtake counterparties, any customers have the potential to impact the Company’s credit exposure resulting in credit losses.

Credit Losses

Credit losses refer to the financial losses resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties under the contractual obligations they are bound by. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily from its customers through the sale of electricity and the generation of green attributes.

The Company has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to customers who are creditworthy and are expected to honor their contractual obligations under their original terms. The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay by conducting a credit review prior to entering into a new PPA or contracts to deliver RECs, and considers contract terms and conditions, country and political risk, and the business strategy in its evaluation.

The Company monitors the ongoing credit risk from its customers through the review of counterparty balances against contract terms and due dates. The Company reviews the aging of outstanding receivables and actively communicates with the customers on a regular to ensure timely collection. From time to time, the Company may employ legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to adjust its accounts receivables to the amounts considered to be ultimately collectible, and charges to the allowance are recorded within general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering factors as historical experience, credit worthiness, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.0 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, and charges to the allowance recorded within general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Derivative Assets

The Company is subject to credit risk related to its derivatives to the extent the hedge counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the contractual arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk if counterparties fail completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts would generally equal the fair value of derivative assets presented in the above table. The Company seeks to mitigate credit risk by transacting with a group of creditworthy financial institutions and through the use of master netting arrangements.

14. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

TerraForm Power, Inc. has 100,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock of par value $0.01 per share, and 1,200,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock of par value $0.01 per share. There are no other authorized classes of shares and the Company does not have any issued shares of preferred stock.

The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s shares of Common Stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020	2019
Balance as of January 1	226,501	209,142
Net shares issued under equity incentive plan	21	—
Balance as of March 31	226,522	209,142

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has an equity incentive plan that provides for the award of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to personnel and directors who provide services to the Company. The maximum contractual term of an award is ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, an aggregate of 3,645,899 and 3,734,185 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under this plan, respectively. Upon the vesting of RSUs, the Company issues shares that have been previously authorized to be issued.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company awarded 121,817 time-based RSUs to certain employees of the Company. The grant-date fair value of these RSUs was $2.2 million based on the Company’s closing stock price. These RSUs are subject to a three-year vesting schedule based on the date of the Board of Directors’ approval and are recognized as compensation cost in accordance with the vesting schedule. The amount of stock-based compensation expense related to the equity awards in the Company’s stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively and is reflected within cost of operations and general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The RSUs do not entitle the holders to voting rights and holders of the RSUs do not have any right to receive dividends or distributions. The following table presents information regarding outstanding RSUs as of March 31, 2020 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020:


	Number of RSUs Outstanding	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)
Balance as of January 1, 2020	191,936	$	11.57
Granted	121,817	17.94
Vested	(33,531)	12.17
Balance as of March 31, 2020	280,222	14.23		$	4,419.0	1.6 years

The total unrecognized stock-based expense related to the Company’s RSUs at March 31, 2020 was $3.4 million and will be recognized, net of any forfeitures, over a weighted-average amortization period of 1.6 years.

As more fully discussed in Note 17. Related Parties, pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement entered into by the Company with Brookfield Renewables and other affiliates, upon consummation of the proposed merger between the Company and Brookfield Renewable, all outstanding Company RSUs will be ultimately converted into BEPC RSUs. Such RSUs will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company RSUs (except that the form of

payment upon vesting will be in BEPC Shares).

Share Repurchase Program

On July 25, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the renewal of the Company’s share repurchase program through August 4, 2020. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 5% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of July 25, 2019. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of Common Stock will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases of Common Stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws, open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the Company to purchase any minimum number of shares. Any repurchased Common Stock will be held by the Company as treasury stock. The Company expects to fund any repurchases from the available liquidity.

NaN shares have been repurchased by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively

15. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders by the number of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period, which is the average of shares outstanding and assumed to be outstanding, and includes contingently issuable shares as of the date when the contingent condition has been met. Diluted loss per share is computed by adjusting basic loss per share for the impact of weighted average dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, unless the impact is anti-dilutive. Common equivalent shares represent the incremental shares issuable for unvested restricted Common Stock and contingently issuable shares in the period the contingency has been met, for the portion of the period prior to the resolution of such contingent condition. Since the Company reported net losses for the periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are considered antidilutive and, accordingly, basic net loss per share equals the diluted net loss per share.

Basic and diluted loss per share of the Company’s Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was calculated as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2020		2019
Basic and diluted loss per share:
Net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders	$	(55,071)	$	(8,627)

Weighted average basic and diluted Class A shares outstanding¹	226,513		209,142

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.24)	$	(0.04)

———

(1)The computation for diluted earnings per share of the Company’s Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020 excluded 280 thousand of potentially dilutive unvested RSUs because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit

The Company’s customers, vendors and regulatory agencies often require the Company to post letters of credit in order to guarantee performance under certain contracts and agreements. The Company is also required to post letters of credit to secure obligations under various swap agreements and leases and may, from time to time, decide to post letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits in reserve accounts under certain financing arrangements. The amount that can be drawn under some of these letters of credit may be increased from time to time subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit drawn under the Revolver of $115.8 million and outstanding project-level letters of credit of $282.0 million drawn under certain project level financing agreements, compared to $115.5 million and $266.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.

Guarantee Agreements

The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into guarantee agreements to certain of their institutional tax equity investors and financing parties in connection with their tax equity financing transactions. These agreements do not guarantee the returns targeted by the tax equity investors or financing parties, but rather support any potential indemnity payments payable under the tax equity agreements, including related to management of tax partnerships and recapture of tax credits or renewable energy grants in connection with transfers of the Company’s direct or indirect ownership interests in the tax partnerships to entities that are not qualified to receive those tax benefits.

The Company and its subsidiaries have also provided guarantees in connection with acquisitions of third-party assets or to support project-level contractual obligations, including renewable energy credit sales agreements. The Company and its subsidiaries have also provided other capped or limited contingent guarantees and other support obligations with respect to certain project-level indebtedness.

The amounts of the above guarantees often are not explicitly stated and the overall maximum amount of the related obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, no significant payments have been made with respect to these types of guarantees. The Company believes the probability of payments being demanded under these guarantees is remote and no material amounts have been recognized for the underlying fair value of guarantee obligations.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings other than various administrative and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or as described below. While the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of such proceedings or other claims asserted against the Company, certain of the claims, if adversely concluded, could result in substantial damages or other relief.

Claim relating to First Wind Acquisition

On May 27, 2016, D.E. Shaw Composite Holdings, L.L.C. and Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P., as the representatives of the sellers (the “First Wind Sellers”) filed an amended complaint for declaratory judgment against TerraForm Power and Terra LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging breach of contract with respect to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2014 (the “FW Purchase Agreement”) between, among others, SunEdison, Inc. (“SunEdison”), TerraForm Power, Terra LLC and the First Wind Sellers. The amended complaint alleges that Terra LLC and SunEdison became jointly obligated to make $231.0 million in earn-out payments in respect of certain development assets SunEdison acquired from the First Wind Sellers under the FW Purchase Agreement, when those payments were purportedly accelerated by SunEdison’s bankruptcy and by the resignations of 2 SunEdison employees. The amended complaint further alleges that TerraForm Power, as guarantor of certain Terra LLC obligations under the FW Purchase Agreement, is liable for this sum. In addition, the plaintiffs have claimed legal costs and expenses and, under applicable New York law, their claim accrues interest at a non-compounding rate of 9% per annum.

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on July 5, 2016, on the ground that, among other things, SunEdison is a necessary party to this action. On February 6, 2018, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss after which document discovery began. In April 2019, Terra LLC filed an amended answer to the amended complaint. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the parties have filed their respective motions for summary judgment and supporting briefs and are waiting to schedule oral arguments.

The Company cannot predict the impact on this litigation of any information that may become available through the course of these legal proceedings. The Company believes the First Wind Sellers’ allegations are without merit and will contest them vigorously. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of any proceedings brought in connection with such a claim.

Whistleblower Complaint by Carlos Domenech Zornoza

On May 10, 2016, the Company’s former Director and Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Domenech Zornoza (“Mr. Domenech”), filed a complaint against the Company, TerraForm Global and certain individuals, with the United States Department of Labor. The complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in a retaliatory termination of Mr. Domenech’s employment on November 20, 2015, after he allegedly voiced concerns to SunEdison’s Board of Directors about public representations made by SunEdison officers regarding SunEdison’s liquidity position, and after he allegedly voiced his opposition to transactions that he alleges were self-interested and which he alleges SunEdison forced on the Company. He alleges that the Company participated in SunEdison’s retaliatory termination by terminating his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company in connection with SunEdison’s termination of his employment. He seeks lost wages, bonuses, benefits, and other money that he alleges that he would have received if he had not been subjected to the allegedly retaliatory termination. The Company’s Position Statement in response to the complaint was filed in October 2016. Mr. Domenech subsequently filed a federal lawsuit (addressed immediately below) that had the effect of discontinuing this matter.

On February 21, 2017, Mr. Domenech filed Domenech Zornoza v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et. al against TerraForm Power, TerraForm Global and certain individuals as defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The complaint asserted claims for retaliation, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and promissory estoppel based on the same allegations in Mr. Domenech’s Department of Labor complaint. On March 15, 2017, the Company filed notice with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to transfer this action to the SDNY where other cases not involving the Company relating to the SunEdison bankruptcy are being tried. The plaintiff opposed the transfer. However, the transfer was approved by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. On November 6, 2017, TerraForm Power and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Domenech’s complaint, and Mr. Domenech filed a response on December 21, 2017. On March 8, 2018, Mr. Domenech voluntarily dismissed the federal action without prejudice, which would permit the action to be refiled.

On August 16, 2018, Mr. Domenech filed a second complaint with the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, with substantially the same allegations. On October 17, 2018, the Company filed notice with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to transfer this action to the SDNY. The Plaintiff opposed the transfer. However, the transfer was approved by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. On March 15, 2019, the Company, TerraForm Global, and several individual defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss Mr. Domenech’s complaint. Mr. Domenech filed a response on April 15, 2019, and the Company, TerraForm Global, and the individual defendants filed a reply on April 25, 2019. On December 9, 2019, the Court dismissed 2 of his 3 claims against the Company and TerraForm Global. On January 22, 2020, the Company filed an answer to Mr. Domenech’s remaining, narrowed claim of retaliatory termination.

The Company reserved for its estimated loss related to this complaint in 2016, which was not considered material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, and this amount remains accrued as of March 31, 2020. However, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of these proceedings.

Derivative Class Action

On September 19, 2019, lead plaintiff Martin Rosson filed a derivative and class action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of the Company, himself, and other minority stockholders of the Company against Brookfield and certain of its affiliates (including the Company as a nominal defendant). The complaint alleges that the defendant controlling stockholders breached their fiduciary duty to minority stockholders because the Company undertook a private placement of the Company’s stock on terms that the complaint alleges are unfair, instead of pursuing a public offering. The proceeds of this private placement were used to fund the acquisition by the Company of Saeta and had been approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint seeks the rescission and invalidation of the private placement and payment to the Company of rescissory damages, among other relief. In a related development, on October 15, 2019, the Company received a demand letter for the production of books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 to allow counsel to the City of Dearborn Policy and Retirement System (a purported shareholder of the Company) to investigate potential breaches of fiduciary duty by Brookfield and the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the funding of the acquisition of Saeta.

On January 27, 2020, the City of Dearborn Police and Retirement System filed a derivative and class action lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery on behalf of the Company, itself, and other minority stockholders of the Company against

Brookfield and certain of its affiliates (including the Company as a nominal defendant) alleging claims similar to those set forth in the Rosson complaint. The City of Dearborn Police and Retirement System and Martin Rosson agreed, with the consent of the Company and Brookfield, to consolidate their respective claims and such consolidation was approved by the Court during the first quarter of 2020. While the Company believes that these claims are without merit, it cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of any proceedings brought in connection with these claims.

Demand for Access to Books and Records

On March 26, 2020, the Company received the first of four demand letters for the production of books and records pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, one of which was subsequently withdrawn. These letters sought to to allow counsel to the City of Dearborn Police and Retirement System, to Martin Rosson and to one other individual to investigate potential breaches of fiduciary duty by Brookfield and the Company's Board of Directors in connection with the announcement of the signing of a merger agreement among the Company, Brookfield Renewable and certain of their affiliates. The Company believes that these claims are without merit. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of any proceedings brought in connection with these claims.

Other Matters

NaN of the Company’s project level subsidiaries are parties to litigation that is seeking to recover alleged underpayments of tax grants under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act from the U.S. Department of Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”). These project level subsidiaries filed complaints at the Court of Federal Claims on March 28, 2014. The U.S. Treasury counterclaimed and both claims went to trial in July 2018. In January 2019, the Court of Federal Claims entered judgments against each of the project level subsidiaries for approximately $10.0 million in the aggregate. These judgments are being appealed. The project level subsidiaries expect that losses, if any, arising from these claims would be covered pursuant to an indemnity and, accordingly, the Company recognized a corresponding indemnification asset within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Issuance of Shares upon Final Resolution of Certain Litigation Matters

Pursuant to the definitive merger and sponsorship agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into with Orion Holdings on March 6, 2017, the Company has agreed to issue additional shares of Common Stock to Orion Holdings for no additional consideration in respect of the Company’s net losses, such as out-of-pocket losses, damages, costs, fees and expenses, in connection with the obtainment of a final resolution of certain specified litigation matters (including the litigation brought by the First Wind Sellers and Mr. Domenech described above) within a prescribed period following the final resolution of such matters. The number of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued to Orion Holdings is subject to a pre-determined formula as set forth in the Merger Agreement and is described in greater detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on September 6, 2017. The issuance of additional shares to Orion Holdings would dilute the holdings of the Company’s common stockholders and may negatively affect the value of the Company’s common stock.

As of the date hereof, the Company is unable to predict the amount of net losses, if any, arising from the litigation brought by the First Wind Sellers and Mr. Domenech described above or the number of additional shares, if any, that may be required to be issued to Orion Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement in connection with any final resolution of such matters.

17. RELATED PARTIES

As discussed in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Organization, the Company is a controlled affiliate of Brookfield and as of March 31, 2020, Brookfield held approximately 62% of the voting securities of TerraForm Power’s Common Stock. Certain affiliates of Brookfield also hold all the outstanding incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) of Terra LLC pursuant to an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Terra LLC as discussed below under Brookfield Sponsorship Transaction.

Brookfield Non-Binding Proposal and Signing of Reorganization Agreement

On January 11, 2020, the Company received an unsolicited and non-binding proposal from Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. ("Brookfield Renewable"), an affiliate of Brookfield, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, other than the approximately 62% shares held by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates. The Brookfield Proposal expressly conditioned the transaction contemplated thereby on the approval of a committee of the Board consisting solely of independent directors and the approval of a majority of the shares held by the Company’s stockholders not affiliated

with Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates. Following the Company’s receipt of the Brookfield Proposal, the Board formed a Special Committee of non-executive, disinterested and independent directors to, among other things, review, evaluate and consider the Brookfield Proposal and, if the Special Committee deemed appropriate, negotiate a transaction with Brookfield Renewable or explore alternatives thereto. The Board resolutions establishing the Special Committee expressly provided that the Board would not approve the transaction contemplated by the Brookfield Proposal or any alternative thereto without a prior favorable recommendation by the Special Committee. Brookfield Renewable holds an approximately 30% indirect economic interest in TerraForm Power.

On March 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and an indirect subsidiary of BEP (“BEPC”), 2252876 Alberta ULC, an unlimited liability corporation incorporated under the laws of Alberta and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of BEP (“Acquisition Sub” and, together with BEP and BEPC, the “BEP Entities”), the Company, and TerraForm Power NY Holdings, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings” and, together with the Company, the “Company Entities”). The Board, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, and the Board of Directors of the general partner of BEP approved the Reorganization Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Reorganization Agreement provides for, among other things, the acquisition by the BEP Entities of the Company’s Common Stock that is not already owned by BEP and its affiliates (the “Public Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, each holder of Public Shares will be entitled to receive for each Public Share held by such holder as consideration 0.381 class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares, no par value, of BEPC (the “BEPC Shares”) or, at the election of such holder, 0.381 of a limited partnership unit of BEP (the “BEP Units”), in each case as adjusted for the BEPC Distribution (as defined and described below) (such 0.381 exchange ratio as adjusted, the “Adjusted Exchange Ratio”) plus any cash paid in lieu of fractional BEP Units or BEPC Shares, as applicable (the “Consideration”). Holders of Public Shares who do not make any election will receive BEPC Shares. There is no limit on the number of Public Shares that may elect to receive BEPC Shares or BEP units. The BEPC Shares will be structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the BEP Units, including identical distributions, as and when declared, and will be fully exchangeable at any time, at the option of holders of such BEPC Shares, for a BEP Unit, initially on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for certain events.

The Transaction (as defined below) is intended to be tax deferred for holders of Public Shares. Tax deferral for holders of Public Shares electing to receive BEPC Shares requires a favorable ruling from the IRS on certain aspects of the Transaction (the “IRS Ruling”), which has been requested. Tax deferral for holders of Public Shares electing to receive BEP Units does not require receipt of the IRS Ruling. Consummation of the Transaction is not subject to receipt of the IRS Ruling.

The acquisition of the Public Shares will be consummated through a series of transactions (the “Transaction”), including:

•the merger of the Company with and into Holdings, with Holdings surviving such merger (the “Reincorporation Merger”), with (x) each Company stockholder who does not make an election to receive Holdings Class C Shares (as defined below) (and, upon completion of the BEP Exchange (as defined below), BEP Units) receiving a number of Holding’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Holdings Class B Shares”), equal to the number of Public Shares held by such stockholder, and (y) each Company stockholder who makes an election to receive Holdings Class C Shares (and, upon completion of the BEP Exchange, BEP Units) receiving a number of Holding’s Class C common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Holdings Class C Shares”), equal to the number of Public Shares held by such stockholder; followed immediately by

•a series of binding share exchanges effected under New York Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”), pursuant to which (x) BEPC will acquire each Holdings Class B Share in exchange for the applicable Consideration described above (the “BEPC Exchange”), consisting of BEPC Shares and cash in lieu of fractional BEPC Shares, and (y) Acquisition Sub will acquire each Holdings Class C Share in exchange for the applicable Consideration described above (the “BEP Exchange” and, together with the BEPC Exchange, the “Share Exchange”), consisting of BEP Units and cash in lieu of fractional BEP Units.

All outstanding restricted stock units of the Company (the “Company RSUs”) will be converted into restricted stock units with respect to Holdings Class B Shares (the “Holdings RSUs”) on a 1-for-one basis at the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger. At the effective time of the Share Exchange, each Holdings RSU will then be converted into a time-based restricted stock unit of BEPC with respect to a number of BEPC Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of shares subject to such Holdings RSU immediately prior to the effective time of the Share Exchange and (ii) the Adjusted Exchange Ratio. Such restricted stock units will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company RSUs (except that the form of payment upon vesting will be in BEPC Shares).

The Company Entities and the BEP Entities each have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Reorganization Agreement, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. The Company Entities and the BEP Entities have also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to various other customary covenants and agreements, including agreements to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course during the period between the date of the Reorganization Agreement and the closing and, subject to certain exceptions, to refrain from certain actions during that time, including, (i) declaring and making dividends; (ii) acquiring assets if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Transaction; (iii) with respect to BEP and BEPC, authorizing or entering into a plan of complete or partial liquidation or dissolution; and (iv) amending their organizational documents. The Company has also agreed to refrain from soliciting or responding to alternative proposals for a transaction, except that the Board, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, may change its recommendation to stockholders if it determines that a failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, subject to a three business day notification period for the BEP Entities.

The consummation of the Transaction is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver (except with respect to the condition set forth in clause (i) below, which is not waivable) of certain events, including, among other matters, (i) the approval by each of (A) the holders of a majority of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon and (B) the holders of a majority of the Public Shares outstanding and entitled to vote thereon (collectively, the “Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals”), (ii) the BEPC Shares and BEP Units to be issued to the Company’s stockholders in the Transaction having been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, (iii) applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 have expired and Competition Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. C 34 approval and certain other specified required government approvals having been obtained, (iv) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment or law entered, enacted, promulgated, enforced or issued by any court or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction (collectively, “Restraints”) being in effect preventing, making illegal or prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, (v) effectiveness of certain of the BEP Entities’ F-3 and F-4 registration statements, and (vi) filing of a prospectus in Canada under applicable securities law. The Company’s obligation to consummate the Transaction is also conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain other events, including, (A) receipt by the Company of an opinion from Torys LLP with respect to certain tax matters, (B) the contribution of certain assets of BEP into BEPC, and (C) the BEPC Distribution (as defined below) has occurred or all actions reasonably necessary to cause the BEPC Distribution to occur substantially simultaneously with the closing has occurred. By reason of the commitment of the Stockholders (as defined below) under the Voting Agreement (as defined below) to vote their Common Stock in favor of the Transaction, the condition described in clause (i) above will be satisfied if the Transaction is approved by the holders of a majority of the Public Shares outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

The Reorganization Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and BEP, including, by mutual consent of the Company and BEP; by either the Company or BEP, if (i) the Transaction has not been consummated on or before December 16, 2020, subject to a further three-month extension under certain circumstances; (ii) if the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements in the Reorganization Agreement that is not reasonably capable of being cured by the end date above or is not cured in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and such breach would cause the applicable closing conditions not to be satisfied; (iii) if the condition set forth in clause (iv) of the preceding paragraph has not been satisfied and the Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction has become final and nonappealable; and (v) if either of the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals has not been obtained upon a vote at a duly held meeting. Additionally, BEP has the right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement if the Board, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, changes its recommendation. If the Reorganization Agreement is terminated by either the Company or BEP because the Required Company Stockholder Approvals are not obtained, the Company will pay to BEP a fee equal to $15,000,000.

The Reorganization Agreement provides that, on or prior to the closing date, the BEP Entities will, and will cause their applicable affiliates to, enter into various other agreements substantially in the forms attached to the Reorganization Agreement, including:

•a rights agreement between Brookfield and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the rights agent (referred to in the Reorganization Agreement as the “Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Brookfield will agree to satisfy the obligations of BEP and BEPC to exchange BEPC Shares for BEP Units where BEPC or BEP have not satisfied such exchange request by a holder of BEPC Shares, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement;

•certain subordinated credit agreements between a BEP and BEPC subsidiary in order to allow for cash management among BEP and its subsidiaries following the closing;

•an equity commitment agreement by and among Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc., a subsidiary of BEP (“Canada HoldCo”), BEP and BEPC, pursuant to which (x) for 10 years following closing, Canada Holdco will agree to subscribe for up to $1 billion of BEPC class C non-voting shares, in order to fund growth capital investments and

acquisitions or working capital and (y) until there are no longer any BEPC Shares held by the public, BEP will agree not to declare or pay any distribution on the BEP Units if BEPC does not have sufficient money or other assets to enable BEPC to declare and pay an equivalent dividend on the BEPC Shares; and

•amended articles of BEPC, which will include the rights, preferences and privileges of the BEPC capital stock, including the BEPC Shares.

BEPC Distribution

Concurrently with the closing of the Transactions, BEP will undertake a special distribution of BEPC Shares (the “BEPC Distribution”) to holders of BEP Units. As a result of the BEPC Distribution, holders of BEP Units will receive BEPC Shares for their BEP Units in accordance with a distribution ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors of the general partner of BEP. Holders of Public Shares who elect to receive BEP Units pursuant to the BEP Exchange will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, BEPC Shares in the BEPC Distribution.

Voting Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with BBHC Orion Holdco L.P. (“BBHC”) and Orion U.S. Holdings 1 L.P. (and together with BHBC, the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote their respective Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Reorganization Agreement and against any alternative proposal as further set forth in the Voting Agreement. The Stockholders beneficially own approximately 61.65% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Brookfield Master Services Agreement

The Company entered into a master services agreement (the “Brookfield MSA”) with Brookfield and certain affiliates of Brookfield (collectively, the “MSA Providers”) pursuant to which the MSA Providers provide certain management and administrative services to the Company, including the provision of strategic and investment management services. As consideration for the services provided or arranged for by Brookfield and certain of its affiliates pursuant to the Brookfield MSA, the Company pays a base management fee on a quarterly basis that is paid in arrears and calculated as follows:

•for each of the first four quarters following the closing date of the Merger, a fixed component of $2.5 million per quarter (subject to proration for the quarter including the closing date of the Merger) plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter;

•for each of the next four quarters, a fixed component of $3.0 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter; and

•thereafter, a fixed component of $3.75 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter.

For purposes of calculating the quarterly payment of the base management fee, the term market capitalization value increase means, for any quarter, the increase in value of the Company’s market capitalization for such quarter, calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the last trading day of such quarter by the difference between (x) the volume-weighted average trading price of a share of Common Stock for the trading days in such quarter and (y) $9.52. If the difference between (x) and (y) in the market capitalization value increase calculation for a quarter is a negative number, then the market capitalization value increase is deemed to be zero.

Pursuant to the Brookfield MSA, the Company recorded charges of $9.6 million and $4.9 million within general and administrative expenses - affiliate in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

18. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has 3 reportable segments: Solar, Wind, and Regulated Solar and Wind. These segments, which represent the Company’s entire portfolio of renewable energy facilities, have been determined based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the reportable segments. Each of the Company’s reportable segments represents an aggregation of operating segments. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and that has discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been identified as the CODMs. The Company’s operating segments consist of: (i) Distributed Generation, North America Solar Utility, International Solar Utility, which are aggregated into the Solar reportable segment; (ii) Northeast Wind, Central Wind, Texas Wind, Hawaii Wind and International Wind operating segments, which are aggregated into the Wind reportable segment; and (iii) the Spanish Regulated Solar and Spanish Regulated Wind operating segments that are aggregated within the Regulated Solar and Wind reportable segment. The International Wind operating segment comprises the Company’s wind operations in Portugal and Uruguay. The operating segments have been aggregated as they have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria. The CODMs evaluate the performance of the Company’s operating segments principally based on operating income or loss. Corporate expenses include general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, interest expense on corporate-level indebtedness, stock-based compensation and depreciation expense. All net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were earned by the Company’s reportable segments from external customers in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Uruguay and Chile, as applicable.

The following table reflects summarized financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

20. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated entities that are not owned by the Company and are reported as a component of equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable either at the option of the holder or at fixed and determinable prices at certain dates in the future are classified as redeemable non-controlling interests in subsidiaries between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Redeemable non-controlling interests that are currently redeemable or redeemable after the passage of time are adjusted to their redemption value as changes occur. However, the non-controlling interests balance cannot be less than the estimated redemption value.

The following table presents the activity of the redeemable non-controlling interests balance for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Repurchases of non-controlling interests

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company purchased the tax equity investors’ interests in certain distributed generation projects in the U.S. for a combined consideration of $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which resulted in increasing the Company’s ownership interest in the related projects to 100%. The difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amounts of the non-controlling interests was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital within Purchase of (redeemable) non-controlling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

First Quarter Cash Distribution

On May 6, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a cash distribution with respect to our Common Stock of 0.2014 per share. The distribution is payable on June 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and other disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”). References in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company” refer to TerraForm Power, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period.

Overview

TerraForm Power, Inc. (“TerraForm Power”) acquires, owns, and operates solar and wind assets in North America and Western Europe. We are the owner and operator of an over 4,200 MW diversified portfolio of high-quality solar and wind assets underpinned by long-term contracts. Significant diversity across technologies and locations coupled with contracts across a large, diverse group of creditworthy counterparties significantly reduces the impact of resource variability on cash available for distribution and limits our exposure to any individual counterparty. We are sponsored by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”), a leading global alternative asset manager with over $540 billion in assets under management. Affiliates of Brookfield held approximately 62% of TerraForm Power’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) as of March 31, 2020.

TerraForm Power’s objective is to deliver an attractive risk-adjusted return to its stockholders. We expect to generate this total return with a regular distribution, which we intend to grow at 5 to 8% per annum, that is backed by stable cash flows.

TerraForm Power, formed in 2014, is a holding company, and its primary asset is an equity interest in TerraForm Power, LLC (“Terra LLC”). TerraForm Power is the managing member of Terra LLC and operates, controls and consolidates the business affairs of Terra LLC. Unless otherwise indicated or otherwise required by the context, references to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” refer to TerraForm Power and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Recent Developments

Brookfield Renewable Non-Binding Proposal and Signing of Reorganization Agreement

On January 11, 2020, the Company received an unsolicited and non-binding proposal (the “Brookfield Proposal”) from Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“Brookfield Renewable”), an affiliate of Brookfield, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, other than the approximately 62% shares held by Brookfield and its affiliates. The Brookfield Proposal expressly conditioned the transaction contemplated thereby on the approval of a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) consisting solely of independent directors and the approval of a majority of the shares held by the Company’s stockholders not affiliated with Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates. Following the Company’s receipt of the Brookfield Proposal, the Board formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) of non-executive, disinterested and independent directors to, among other things, review, evaluate and consider the Brookfield Proposal and, if the Special Committee deemed appropriate, negotiate a transaction with Brookfield Renewable or explore alternatives thereto. The Board resolutions establishing the Special Committee expressly provided that the Board would not approve the transaction contemplated by the Brookfield Proposal or any alternative thereto without a prior favorable recommendation by the Special Committee. Brookfield Renewable holds an approximately 30% indirect economic interest in TerraForm Power.

On March 16, 2020, the Company and Brookfield Renewable and certain of their affiliates entered into a definitive agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) for Brookfield Renewable to acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, other than the 62% currently owned by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates (the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, the “Transactions”). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, each holder of a share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions will receive, at each such shareholder’s election, 0.381 of a Brookfield Renewable limited partnership unit or of a Class A exchangeable subordinate voting share of Brookfield Renewable Corporation, a Canadian subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable which is expected to be publicly listed as of the consummation of the Transactions. The Special Committee has unanimously recommended that the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders approve the Transactions. Consummation of the Transactions is subject to the non-waivable approval of a majority of the Company’s shareholders not affiliated with Brookfield Renewable, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Termosol Acquisition

On February 11, 2020, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of two concentrated solar power facilities located in Spain with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 100 MW (Termosol 1 & 2) from NextEra Energy Spain Holdings

B.V. for a total purchase price of approximately $126.9 million (the “Termosol Acquisition”). These facilities are regulated under the Spanish framework for renewable power, with approximately 18 years of remaining regulatory life.

United States Project Financing

On March 26, 2020, we entered into a new non-recourse debt financing agreement, issuing $246.0 million of 3.28% senior notes secured by approximately 218.0 MW utility-scale wind power plants located in the United States. We used the net proceeds of this debt to (i) redeem, in full, the outstanding balance of the non-recourse project term debt previously incurred of which $215.2 million remained outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) redeem, in full, derivative liabilities related to interest rate swaps with the hedge counterparties of which $16.3 million remained outstanding and (iii) pay for the fees and expenses related to the issuance.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor and evaluate the global COVID-19 pandemic and are taking steps to mitigate the known risks it poses on our business. In virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate, significant restrictions have been imposed on non-essential business activity. Our business, as a producer of energy and a provider of critical infrastructure services, is typically exempt from these types of restrictions, and as a result we are generally permitted to continue our ordinary course of operations. In addition, we have taken steps to ensure that our employees and contractors are safe, including the closures of our New York City headquarters and Madrid offices in late March 2020 and implementing a business continuity plan to ensure our employees are best able to meet our business needs while working remotely.

While the full impact on our business is unknown and difficult to predict, we believe TerraForm Power is well positioned to manage the known risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 95% of our revenue is earned pursuant to long term power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), with over 90% of our customers have either investment grade credit rating or are municipalities with investment grade characteristics. In our Regulated Solar and Wind operating segments in Spain, reduced demand for energy resulting from the economic slowdown has resulted in lower market prices for power, however this decrease should be offset by regulatory revenues that adjust market rates to ensure renewable energy generators achieve a long-term reasonable rate of return.

There are a number of factors that we believe may mitigate our exposure to loss and disruption caused by the pandemic. Our believe our business is relatively less labor intensive than many other industries, meaning it can function with relatively little person to person interaction. Also, since our assets are predominantly operational, our exposure to potential supply chain disruptions is smaller than businesses that are more focused on construction and development. We are also working proactively with our operations and maintenance (“O&M”) providers to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our operations by ensuring that they have appropriate business continuity plans in place in order to safeguard the health of our employees and contractors as well as ensure that our wind and solar plants continue to generate power and operated normally.

We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund near-term cash distributions, growth initiatives, capital expenditures and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in resources. Our total available corporate liquidity as of March 31, 2020, was $1.2 billion. See Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for additional details. While we believe TerraForm Power is well-positioned to weather the pandemic, the situation remains fluid and difficult to predict. We continue to monitor the situation to ensure any business interruption or other risk is proactively addressed.

Key Metrics

Operating Metrics

Nameplate capacity

We measure the electricity-generating production capacity of our renewable energy facilities in nameplate capacity. Rated capacity is the expected maximum output a power generation system can produce without exceeding its design limits. We express nameplate capacity in (i) DC, for all facilities within our Solar segment and (ii) AC, for all facilities within our Wind and Regulated Solar and Wind segments. The size of our renewable energy facilities varies significantly among the assets comprising our portfolio. We believe the combined nameplate capacity of our portfolio is indicative of our overall production capacity and period to period comparisons of our nameplate capacity are indicative of the growth rate of our business. Our renewable energy facilities had a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 4,222 MW and 4,123 MW as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Gigawatt hours sold

Gigawatt hours (“GWh”) sold refers to the actual volume of electricity sold by our renewable energy facilities during a particular period. We track GWh sold as an indicator of our ability to realize cash flows from the generation of electricity at our renewable energy facilities. Our GWh sold for renewable energy facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In GWh)	2020	2019
Solar segment	459	380
Wind segment	1,521	1,629
Regulated Solar and Wind segment	356	390
Total	2,336	2,399

Consolidated Results of Operations

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Financial Results

The comparability of our consolidated results of operations among the periods presented is impacted by, but not limited to, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange fluctuation. Accordingly, our historical consolidated results of operations may not be comparable or indicative of future results.

The below represent the key factors that affect the comparability of our financial results:

Acquisitions

Acquisitions completed during one period impact the comparability to a prior period in which we did not own the acquired businesses or assets.

The WGL Acquisition

On September 26, 2019, we acquired approximately 320 MW distributed generation portfolio of renewable energy facilities in the U.S. from subsidiaries of AltaGas (the “WGL Acquisition”). Our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 include the results relating to the WGL Acquisition for the full period, whereas the prior period did not include any results of operations from the WGL acquisition.

The X-Elio Acquisition

On December 18 2019, We acquired approximately 45 MW utility-scale solar photovoltaic (“PV”) power facilities in Spain, from subsidiaries of X-Elio Energy, S.L., a Spanish corporation. Our consolidated results for the three months ended

March 31, 2020 include the results relating to the X-Elio Acquisition for the full period, whereas the prior period did not include any results of operations from the X-Elio acquisition.

The Termosol Acquisition

As discussed in Note 3. Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements, on February 11, 2020 we acquired two concentrated solar power (“CSP”) facilities located in Spain with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 100 MW (“Termosol 1 & 2”) from NextEra Energy Spain Holdings B.V (the “Termosol Acquisition”). Our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 include the results relating to the Termosol Acquisition beginning on the acquisition date on February 11, 2020, whereas the prior period did not include any results of operations from the Termosol acquisition.

Divestitures

Any divestitures of our continuing operations affect the comparability of our consolidated results from period to period. Divestitures completed during one period impact comparability to a prior period in which we owned the divested businesses or assets.

The 6 MW Distributed Generation Divestiture

On December 20, 2019, we sold six distributed generation facilities in the U.S. with a combined nameplate capacity of 6.0 MW for a net consideration of $9.5 million.

Foreign Exchange

The USD is our reporting currency and our subsidiaries operate in other functional currencies, including: Euro, CAD and GBP. The principal foreign exchange exposure is the risk related to the translation of the results of foreign operations from the local currency. We monitor the impact of foreign currency movements and the correlation between the local currency and the USD. A significant portion of our revenue is generated in Euro and, to a lesser extent, in CAD and as such, our reported revenues may be affected by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar and currency exchange rates.

The amounts shown below represent the results of TerraForm Power’s wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated.

Total energy revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, increased by $11.8 million due to $8.8 million and $19.1 million increases at our Solar and Regulated Solar and Wind segments, respectively. These increases were partially offset by $16.1 million decrease at our wind segment. Energy revenue at our Solar segment increased by $8.8 million primarily driven by $11.6 million in contributions from distributed generation facilities in the U.S. acquired after the first quarter of 2019. These contributions were partially offset by $2.5 million net decreases primarily due to lower pricing and generation at our North American solar farms. Energy revenue at our Wind segment decreased by $16.1 million due to a (i) $9.3 million decrease due to lower generation by our fleet in North America resulting from lower wind resource, (ii) $4.9 million net decrease at our fleet in North America due to lower market prices, (iii) $2.4 million decrease due to lower generation by our international plants in Portugal and Uruguay resulting from lower wind resource, and (iv) $2.1 million increase in unrealized losses on commodity derivatives. These decreases at our Wind segment were partially offset by $3.2 million increase due to higher generation by our fleet in North American driven by higher availability following the substantial completion of our blade repair program that we initiated in 2019. Energy revenue at our Regulated Solar and Wind segments increased by $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by $15.5 million in contributions from acquisitions of solar PV and CSP facilities made in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, and a $15.1 million increase in capacity revenue from remuneration programs under the Spanish framework for renewable power. These increases at our Regulated Solar and Wind segment were partially offset by a $11.6 million reduction in our merchant sales due to the decline in market prices and energy demand in Spain in the first quarter of 2020 amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total Incentive revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, increased by $9.7 million due to a $12.5 million increase at our Solar segment that was partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease at our Regulated Solar and Wind segment. Incentive revenue at our Solar segment increased by $12.5 million, driven by $7.1 million in contributions from the WGL Acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2019, and $5.4 million in increases in the U.S. due to the timing of contracting and delivering of renewable energy incentives with our counterparties. Incentive revenue at our Regulated Solar and Wind segment, representing earnings for each MWh produced by our solar facilities in Spain to recover deemed operating costs that are in excess of market revenue forecasted by the Spanish market competition regulator (the “CNMC”), decreased by $2.8 million due to a $3.9 million decrease in the amount of remuneration per MWh to renewable energy producers set by the CNMC for the year 2020 as well as lower generation at our solar facilities in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was partially offset by $1.1 million in contributions from PV and CSP acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

Total cost of operations	$	57,864	$	60,751	$	(2,887)

Total cost of operations decreased by $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to a $13.6 million decrease at our Wind segment. This decrease was partially offset by $3.7 million and $7.0 million increases at our Solar and Regulated Solar and Wind segments, respectively. Cost of operations at our wind segment decreased by $13.6 million due to a (i) reduction of $4.1 million in real property taxes related to refunds of previously assessed taxes on our plants in Hawaii, (ii) decrease of $4.5 million in repairs and maintenance and losses on disposal of major components of certain wind power plants in North America following the substantial completion of our blade repair program that was initiated in 2019 and (iii) reduction of $4.1 million in O&M costs payable to our existing service provider at our North American fleet as a compensation to lower generation than a certain guaranteed amount per the long-term service agreement framework. Cost of operations at our Solar segment increased by $3.7 million, primarily due to incurring $7.7 million costs related to the WGL Acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2019. This increase in cost of sales at our Solar segment was partially offset by a $2.1 million one-off reduction in sales and use taxes in the U.S. and a $1.2 million decrease in lease expenses. Cost of operations at our Regulated Solar and Wind segment increased by $7.0 million, primarily due to incurring $3.9 million in costs related to the acquisitions of solar PV and CSP facilities made in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 and a net increase of $2.2 million in taxes payable under the Spanish framework for renewable power.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019		Change
General and administrative expenses:
Solar	$	359	$	1,185	$	(826)
Wind	2,972		3,185		(213)
Regulated Solar and Wind	3,438		1,301		2,137
Corporate	19,448		17,491		1,957
Total general and administrative expenses	$	26,217	$	23,162	$	3,055

Total general and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to $2.1 million and $2.0 million increases at our Regulated Solar and Wind and Corporate segments, respectively. These increases were partially offset by $0.8 million and $0.2 million decreases at our Solar and Wind segments, respectively. The increase at our Corporate segment was primarily attributable to $5.2 million in expenses incurred in relation to the negotiations of the transactions contemplated by the Brookfield Proposal representing professional fees for financial and legal advisors. This increase in our Corporate expenses was partially offset by $3.1 million lower professional for legal and audit services compared to the same period in 2019. The $2.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses at our Regulated Solar and Wind segment was primarily attributable to higher professional fees for audit and consulting services. Our general and administrative expenses at our Solar and Wind segments decreased by a total of $1.0 million primarily resulting from lower professional fees and other operating expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses - Affiliate

General and administrative expenses - affiliate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019		Change
Corporate	$	9,777	$	5,164	$	4,613

General and administrative expenses - affiliate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $9.8 million compared to $5.2 million, for the same period in 2019, and primarily consisted of $9.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of quarterly base management fees under the Brookfield MSA, pursuant to which Brookfield and certain of its affiliates provide us with certain management and administrative services. The $4.6 million increase in the base management fee for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in our market capitalization. See Note 17. Related Parties to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Total Acquisition Costs

Total acquisition costs were $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $0.2 million in the same period in 2019, which primarily consisted of professional fees for legal and accounting services. Acquisition costs related to affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were $0.7 million and represented reimbursements to affiliates of Brookfield for fees and expenses incurred on our behalf. There were no acquisition costs related to affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Depreciation, Accretion and Amortization Expense

Depreciation, accretion and amortization expense increased by $15.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was in relation to our growing portfolio of renewable energy facilities from acquisitions in the U.S and Spain, as well as capital additions placed in service after the first quarter of 2019.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2020		2019		Change
Corporate-level	$	26,798	$	30,513	$	(3,715)
Non-recourse:
Solar	21,975		12,798		9,177
Wind	14,960		15,142		(182)
Regulated Solar and Wind	14,226		27,834		(13,608)
Total interest expense, net	$	77,959	$	86,287	$	(8,328)

Interest expense, net decreased by $8.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to decreases of $3.7 million, $0.2 million and $13.6 million at our Corporate, Wind and Regulated Solar and Wind segments, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.2 million increase at our Solar segment. Interest expense, net at our Corporate segment decreased by $3.7 million due to the reduction in outstanding obligations at the corporate level as of March 31, 2020 compared to 2019, following the refinancing activities that took place in the fourth quarter of 2019, which included the termination of our Senior Notes due 2025, the termination of our Term Loan, the substantial repayment of our Revolver, and the issuance of our Senior Notes due 2030. Interest expense, net at our Solar segment increased by $9.2 million primarily driven by the increased outstanding obligations as of March 31, 2020 compared to 2019, following the additional non-recourse borrowings obtained in the second and third quarter of 2019, that were secured by certain distributed generation facilities in the U.S. Interest expense, net at our Regulated Solar and Wind segments decreased by $13.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to $15.8 million decreases in mark-to-market losses on interest rate swap liabilities not designated as hedging instruments and realized losses from the settlement of interest with the hedge counterparties. See Note 11. Derivatives to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. This decrease was partially offset by incurring $2.4 million in net interest expense related to the acquisitions of solar PV and CSP facilities made in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. See Note 9. Long-term Debt to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Loss (Gain) on Modification and Extinguishment of Debt, net

Losses or gains on modification and extinguishment of debt, net include prepayment penalties, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and debt premiums or discounts, costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized as deferred financing costs, other costs incurred in relation to debt extinguishment, and any gain from the redemption of debt below its carrying amount. We incurred a net loss on modification and extinguishment of debt of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the refinancing of the debt of associated with a 218.0 utility-scale wind power plants located in the U.S. We recognized a gain of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, associated with the redemption of financing lease obligations within certain distributed generation facilities in the U.S. See Note 9. Long-term Debt to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Gain on Foreign Currency Exchange, net

Gains and losses on foreign currency exchanges primarily include the transaction gains and losses and changes in fair value of our foreign exchange derivative contracts not accounted for under hedge accounting, and exchange differences on intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. We recognized a net gain on foreign currency exchange of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to net realized and unrealized gain of $18.1 million on foreign currency derivative contracts that was partially offset by a loss of $13.8 million on the remeasurement of intercompany loans, which are primarily denominated in Euros. We recognized a net gain on foreign currency exchange of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to a total $21.2 million net realized and unrealized gain on foreign currency derivative contracts that were partially offset by a loss of $14.8 million on the remeasurement of intercompany loans.

Other Income, net

We recognized $4.4 million of other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2.7 million of other expenses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019.The balance primarily comprised non-operating expenses and losses net of recoveries and reimbursements.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a benefit of $4.2 million during the same period in 2019. The expense for the current period was primarily driven by an additional valuation allowance in the U.S. and the impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act section 163(j) provisions as well as profits generated by certain foreign subsidiaries, whereas for the same period in 2019, we recognized a benefit in relation to losses incurred by foreign subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of an additional valuation allowance on certain income tax benefits, the allocation of losses to non-controlling interests, the effect of foreign and state taxes and, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the CARES Act.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, including redeemable non-controlling interests, was $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $15.2 million decrease was driven by lower allocations to project-level tax equity partnerships and non-controlling interests in our partially owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

A key element to our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of project specific non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries with investment grade metrics. Going forward, we intend to primarily finance acquisitions or growth capital expenditures using long-term non-recourse debt that fully amortizes within the asset’s contracted life at investment grade metrics, as well as retained cash flows from operations, issuance of equity securities through public markets and opportunistic sales of projects, portfolios of projects, or of non-controlling interests in projects or portfolios of projects.

The following table summarizes the total capitalization and debt to capitalization percentage as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Liquidity Position

We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund near-term cash distributions, growth initiatives, capital expenditures and withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in resources. The principal sources of funding are cash flows from operations, revolving credit facilities (including our Revolver and Sponsor Line as discussed and defined below), unused debt capacity at our projects, non-core asset sales and proceeds from the issuance

of debt or equity securities through public markets. We actively refinance our non-recourse debt across our portfolio to extend our maturity profile and benefit from any decline in interest rates.

As of March 31, 2020, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $146.4 million. We do not believe this deficit in working capital has an adverse impact on our cash flows, liquidity or operations since our current liabilities include $169.0 million of long-term non-recourse debt classified as current due to defaults that existed at March 31, 2020. We believe there is a reasonable likelihood that we will be, in due course, able to successfully negotiate waivers with the lenders and/or cure the existing defaults. We do not expect any of our financing agreements to be accelerated and we were not notified by any of our lenders to elect to enforce project security interests. See Note 9. Long-term debt to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Non-recourse Project Financing

United States Project Financing

On March 26, 2020, we entered into a new non-recourse debt financing agreement issuing $246.0 million of 3.28% senior notes secured by approximately 218.0 MW utility-scale wind power plants located in the U.S. We used the net proceeds of this debt to (i) redeem, in full, the outstanding balance of the non-recourse project term debt previously incurred and secured by the subsidiary’s assets, of which $215.2 million remained outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) redeem, in full, derivative liabilities related to interest rate swaps with the hedge counterparties of which $16.3 million remained outstanding, and (iii) pay for the fees and expenses related to the issuance. The senior secured notes mature on June 30, 2037, and amortize on a seventeen-year sculpted amortization schedule.

Debt Service Obligations

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in addressing our borrowings through 2023 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.

The aggregate contractual principal payments of long-term debt due after March 31, 2020, including financing lease obligations and excluding amortization of debt discounts, premiums and deferred financing costs, as stated in the financing

agreements, are as follows:

The distribution is payable on June 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2020. The first quarter of 2020 distribution will be our ninth consecutive quarterly distribution payment under the Brookfield sponsorship.

Share Repurchase Program

On July 25, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the renewal of our share repurchase program through August 4, 2020. Under the share repurchase program, we repurchase up to 5% of our Common Stock outstanding as of July 25, 2019. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock will be determined by us based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws, open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate us to purchase any minimum number of shares. Any repurchased common stock will be held by us as treasury stock. We expect to fund any repurchases from available liquidity.

No shares have been repurchased by us during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Incentive Distribution Rights

BRE Delaware, Inc. (the “Brookfield IDR Holder”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield, holds all of the outstanding incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) of Terra LLC. Under Terra LLC’s limited liability company agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Terra LLC Agreement”), the IDR threshold for a first distribution is $0.93 per share of Common Stock and for a second distribution is $1.05 per share of Common Stock. Under the Terra LLC Agreement, amounts distributed from Terra LLC are to be distributed on a quarterly basis as follows:

•first, to the Company in an amount equal to the Company’s outlays and expenses for such quarter;

•thereafter, 75% to holders of Class A units and 25% to holders of the IDRs.

There were no IDR payments made by us during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Changes in Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and money market funds, including restricted cash, with original maturity periods of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted cash consists of cash on deposit in financial institutions that is restricted to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within our project companies that are restricted for current debt service payments and other purposes in accordance with the applicable debt agreements. These restrictions include: (i) cash on deposit in collateral accounts, debt service reserve accounts and maintenance reserve accounts; and (ii) cash on deposit in operating accounts but subject to distribution restrictions related to debt defaults existing as of the date of the balance sheet. Restricted cash that is not expected to become unrestricted within twelve months from the date of the balance sheet is presented within non-current assets.

The following table reflects the changes in our cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, as of March 31, 2020:

Cash Flow Discussion

We use measures of cash flow, including net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, to evaluate our periodic cash flow results.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the comparative periods:


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
			2020			2019			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	85,767		$	84,999		$	768
Net cash used in investing activities	(41,280)			(3,803)			(37,477)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	717			(59,794)			60,511

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $85.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $85.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by a $24.7 million increase in revenue generated from the acquisitions we made subsequent to the firsts quarter of 2019 (excluding losses on commodity derivative contracts, recognition of deferred revenue and amortization of favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts, net). This increase was partially offset by a $19.0 million net decrease due to the timing of sales and collections from customers and payment of vendors, in addition to increase in total operating costs (excluding non-cash items) by $4.2 million, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $41.3 million, which consisted of $79.4 million payments to acquire businesses, net of cash acquired and $1.0 million for capital expenditures. These payments were partially offset by (i) $38.8 million proceeds from the settlement of foreign currency contracts used to hedge the exposure associated with foreign subsidiaries and $0.4 million proceeds received from a government rebate for certain costs previously incurred for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $3.8 million, which was due to the use of $7.4 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $2.8 million proceeds received from a government rebate for certain costs previously incurred for capital expenditures and $0.7 million from other investing activities.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $0.7 million, which consisted of (i) $272.4 million proceeds from non-recourse debt financing net of deferred financing fees and (ii) $61.0 million of net draws on our Revolver. This was partially offset by (i) $242.1 million principal payments on non-recourse debt, (ii) $45.5 million payments of cash distributions to our Class A common stockholders, (iii) net payments of $27.8 million to non-controlling interests, (iv) payments to terminate interest swaps of $16.3 million and (v) other financing activities of $1.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $59.8 million, primarily due to $51.4 million principal payments on non-recourse debt and deferred financing costs, a $0.9 million principal payment on our Term Loan, $42.0 million dividend payments to our Class A common stockholders and net payments of $0.5 million payments to non-controlling interests in renewable energy facilities, which were partially offset by $35.0 million of net draws on our Revolver.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We enter into guarantee arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties. See Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for additional discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements provided herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In preparing the accompanying financial statements, we have applied accounting policies and made certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures thereof. While we believe that these policies and estimates used are appropriate, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can differ from these estimates. The accounting policies and related risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2020, the only notable changes to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are with respect to our adoption of the new accounting pronouncements described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report for disclosures concerning recently issued accounting standards. These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to several market risks in our normal business activities. Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with our business or with an existing or forecasted financial or commodity transaction. The types of market risks we are exposed to include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of our debt was $7,076.3 million and the carrying value of our debt was $6,762.8 million. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis points, or 1%, increase or decrease in market interest rates would have decreased or increased the fair value of our long-term debt by $128.8 million and $142.3 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, our corporate-level debt consisted of the Senior Notes due 2023 (fixed rate), the Senior Notes due 2028 (fixed rate), the Senior Notes due 2030 (fixed rate), and the Revolver (variable rate). Additionally, we had an undrawn balance of $500.0 million available under the Sponsor Line (variable rate). A hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates by 1% would have increased or decreased interest expense related to our Revolver by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, our non-recourse permanent financing debt was at both fixed and variable rates. 65% of the $4,315.6 million balance had a variable interest rate and the remaining 35% of the balance had a fixed interest rate. We have entered into interest rate derivatives to swap the majority of our variable rate non-recourse debt to a fixed rate. Although we intend to use hedging strategies to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we may not hedge all of our interest rate risk and, to the extent we enter into interest rate hedges, our hedges may not necessarily have the same duration as the associated indebtedness. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the amount of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, the time at which the interest rate is adjusted, the amount of the adjustment, our ability to prepay or refinance variable rate indebtedness when fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced and hedging strategies we may use to reduce the impact of any increases in rates. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis points, or 1%, increase or decrease in our variable interest rates pertaining to interest rate swaps not designated as hedges would have increased or decreased our earnings by $32.4 million or $33.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated operating revenues in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Chile and Uruguay, with our revenues being denominated in U.S. dollars, Euro, Canadian dollars and British pounds. The PPAs, O&M agreements, financing arrangements and other contractual arrangements relating to our current portfolio are generally denominated in the same currencies.

We use currency forward and option contracts in certain instances to mitigate the financial market risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our foreign currency exposures through the use of these currency forward and option contracts to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including intercompany loans denominated in Euro.

We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge portions of our net investment positions in certain subsidiaries with Euro and Canadian dollar functional currencies and to manage our overall foreign exchange risk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the effective portion of the net gains or losses attributable to changes in exchange rates are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded in AOCI is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantial liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. The change in fair value of derivative contracts intended to serve as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments is reported as a component of earnings in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The objective of these

practices is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results. We estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis points, or 1%, increase or decrease in Euros would have increased or decreased our earnings by $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges and non-designated derivatives used to manage foreign currency risks associated with intercompany loans are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash flows from all other derivative instruments are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Commodity Risk

For certain of our wind power plants, we may use long-term cash-settled swap agreements to economically hedge commodity price variability inherent in wind electricity sales arrangements. If we sell electricity generated by our wind power plants to an independent system operator market and there is no PPA available, then we may enter into a commodity swap to hedge all or a portion of the estimated revenue stream. These price swap agreements require periodic settlements, in which we receive a fixed price based on specified quantities of electricity and we pay the counterparty a variable market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in electricity sales prices pertaining to commodity swaps not designated as hedges would have increased or decreased our earnings by $10.4 million or $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.

Liquidity Risk

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, service debt and to fund cash distributions to investors. Changes in operating plans, lower than anticipated electricity sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause management to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as make acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond management’s control.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Our financial assets are typically subject to concentrations of credit risk and primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative assets. Credit losses refer to the financial losses resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties under the contractual obligations they are bound by.

We are subject to concentrations of credit risk related to the cash and cash equivalents that may exceed the insurable limits in the related jurisdictions. The maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk would generally equal the stated value of cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents with creditworthy financial institutions and, historically, did not experience any losses with regards to balances in excess of insured limits or as a result of other concentrations of credit risk.

We serve hundreds of customers in three continents, and, in the U.S., the Company’s customers are spread across various states resulting in the diversification of its customer base. Furthermore, a significant portion of our operating revenues are contracted through long-term PPAs with offtake counterparties that are government-backed entities and public utility companies that, on average, had an investment grade credit rating. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we earned $91.6 million from the Spanish Electricity System of which $78.1 million were billing through the CNMC and represented 28.1% of our net consolidated operating revenues. The CNMC is the state-owned regulator of the Spanish Electricity System who collects the funds payable, mainly from the tariffs to end user customers, and is responsible for the calculation and the settlement of regulated payments. We believe that this concentration of risk is mitigated by, among other things, the indirect support of the Spanish government for the CNMC’s obligations and, in general, by the regulated rate system in Spain.

Our derivative instruments also expose us to credit risk to the extent counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the contractual arrangements. Our maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk if counterparties fail completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts. We seek to mitigate such risk by transacting with a group of creditworthy financial institutions and through the use of master netting arrangements.

See Note 13. Concentration of Credit Risk to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on our exposure to credit risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified certain material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We carried out an evaluation as of March 31, 2020 under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2020 due to the previously identified material weaknesses, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2020.

We performed additional analyses and other procedures in order to prepare the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Notwithstanding such material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we concluded that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presents fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

As permitted by SEC guidance, management has excluded from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting the internal controls related to the 320 MW distributed generation portfolio acquired on September 26, 2019 and the 100 MW concentrated solar power facilities acquired on February 11, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than the remediation actions discussed below. We continue to implement our remediation plan as described in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We are continuing to work to remediate all such material weaknesses as soon as reasonably possible.

During the first quarter of 2020, we executed the following actions:

•We continued our efforts towards implementing additional functionalities in our consolidation, automated account reconciliation and treasury systems, each of which is expected to enhance and automate our processes to produce accurate and timely information and reduce our reliance on end-user computing spreadsheets;

•We commenced implementation of a commodity/energy trading and risk management software that will automate end-to-end commodities and energy trading, tracking and management. These system enhancements and related controls are expected to decrease our reliance on manual processes and make our control environment more sustainable; and

•We commenced assessment of the sufficiency and competency of resources to ascertain where specialized/technical training is required to strengthen our skills to support our controllership function on technical accounting matters.

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Item 1. Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed on March 17, 2020. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than the following:

The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

While the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company is difficult to predict, it may have an adverse impact on certain aspects of our business. The pandemic has already resulted in the imposition of quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, closures of office spaces, significant restrictions on almost all non-essential business activity, travel and transportation restrictions and import and export restrictions. These factors have contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy, placed a number of businesses (including contract counterparties and offtakers of the Company) under financial stress, disrupted supply chains and caused volatility in global capital markets. The extent of the future impact of the pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and difficult to predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and additional actions which may be taken by governments and businesses to contain the pandemic and/or reopen economies. Such developments could adversely impact our ability to operate our business in the ordinary course, and could adversely impact the businesses of our offtakers and other contract counterparties, any of which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, and could put pressure on our ability to comply with project and corporate debt covenants.

In virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate, significant restrictions have been imposed on non-essential business activity. Our business, as a producer of energy and a provider of critical infrastructure services, is typically exempt from these types of restrictions, and as a result the Company and our operations and maintenance service providers have to date been generally able to continue the ordinary course operation of our assets. Our office personnel have been instructed to work remotely, including those working out of our New York City headquarters and our European office in Madrid, both regions that have been severely adversely impacted by the pandemic. The future impact of the pandemic is less certain. For example, a portion of the offtakers in our distributed generation business are commercial retailers and other businesses who are more exposed to economic stress caused by the pandemic than we are and if some or all of these offtakers restructure or liquidate their businesses, our cash flows from these projects might be put at risk, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. A prolonged disruption caused by the pandemic could also limit the availability of certain parts required to operate our facilities and adversely impact the ability of our O&M contractors and other service providers to service our equipment, which may result in operational delays and underperformance. It could also adversely impact our efforts to repower certain facilities, causing important construction milestones to be missed. Remote working for a prolonged period of time could mean that the Company faces challenges ensuring that its employees are able to meet the Company’s business needs, which could cause significant disruptions to our business operations, particularly in the regions (like New York City and Spain) that have been severely impacted by the pandemic. While most of our portfolio is contracted over the long term, a prolonged decline in demand for electricity could adversely impact our prospects and results of operations. In Spain, a decline in demand for electricity (among other factors) has resulted in lower than expected market prices, that has in turn adversely impacted in our quarterly cash flows. While we expect a portion of this reduction in cash flows to be recovered during the course of the remaining regulatory life of our regulated Spanish assets, as provided for under the Spanish framework for renewable power that these assets operate under, there can be no assurance that this framework will remain in its current form and continue to function as expected if the pandemic continues to put pressure on the Spanish economy and therefore public finances for a prolonged period of time. Ongoing market volatility may in turn cause volatility in the market price of our shares of Class A common stock. In addition, the continuation or a resurgence of the pandemic could heighten many of the other risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
