“Our business continues to make strong progress, with closed transactions growing 9% year-over-year in the first half of 2025 and double-digit yields on new Portfolio investments supporting strong margins,” said HASI President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey A. Lipson. “Now, with an increased pipeline of more than $6 billion, in part due to a broadening of our focus into new asset classes, we remain on track to achieve our guidance for growing Adjusted EPS at a compound rate of 8-10% into 2027.”

A summary of our financial results is detailed in the table below:

GAAP Net Income and Adjusted Earnings

“We executed on another quarter, demonstrating the strength and quality of our business, which generated meaningful growth in high-quality recurring investment income totaling more than $160 million through the first half of the year,” said HASI Chief Financial Officer, Chuck Melko. “The strength of our business model has been further validated by S&P’s recent upgrade, giving us our third investment grade rating, and we demonstrated our capabilities in managing our capital structure through the refinancing of $900 million of our debt, extending our maturities into 2035.”

GAAP Earnings and EPS

GAAP net income to controlling stockholders was $98 million in Q2 2025, compared to $27 million in Q2 2024. GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.74 in Q2 2025, compared to $0.23 in Q2 2024. GAAP income in the current period was driven by total revenue of $86 million, total expenses of $105 million (which is inclusive of $11 million of debt extinguishment costs), income from equity method investments of $158 million, and income tax expense of $38 million. GAAP net income increased primarily due to larger income from equity method investments driven by higher allocations in the current period of income related to tax credits allocated to tax equity investors in solar projects. As tax equity investors receive the benefit of tax credits, their ongoing claim on the project’s net assets is reduced. This results in income under GAAP for the other investors in the project.

Adjusted Earnings and EPS

Adjusted earnings were $75 million in Q2 2025, driven by Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income of $85 million, Gain on Sale of Assets of $8 million, and Origination Fee and Other Income of $1 million, while Compensation and Benefits and General & Administrative expenses (excluding Equity-Based Compensation) were approximately $19 million.

Adjusted Earnings in Q2 2025 increased $1 million compared to Q2 2024, due to an $18 million increase in Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income driven by a larger Portfolio and a $1 million increase in Origination Fee and Other Revenue, offset by an $18 million decrease in Gain on Sale of Assets due to the timing of closed transactions.

Adjusted EPS was $0.60 in Q2 2025, compared to $0.63 in Q2 2024, due to higher shares outstanding.

An explanation and reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and EPS to Adjusted Earnings and EPS can be found at the end of this release.

Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income

HASI’s Managed Assets consists of three major components: our Portfolio, our co-investment structures, and our securitized assets. HASI generates recurring income from each of these components: (1) income generated from our Portfolio, including both our debt investments (“Receivables” and “Real Estate and Debt Securities”), and our equity investments (“Equity Method Investments”), (2) management fee income from our securitization trusts and our partner’s share of our co-investment structures, and (3) income from our retained interests in our securitized assets. Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income measures the recurring income we generate from these three sources, net of interest expense.

GAAP-based net investment income captures Interest and Rental Income revenue as well as Management Fees and Retained Interest Income, less interest expense. However, it does not include the income generated from our Equity Method Investments (as defined below), and thus fails to capture all of the economic returns earned by our Portfolio. GAAP-based net investment loss was $(3) million in Q2 2025, including an $11 million loss on debt extinguishment.

Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income captures not only our management fee income and income from our retained interests in our securitized assets, but also our income from our entire Portfolio, including both our equity and debt investments, net of interest expense. As a result, management views Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income as a helpful indicator of the full underlying economics of our investments. enabling a useful comparison of financial results between periods. Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income was $85 million in Q2 2025, an increase of 25% from $68 million in Q2 2024.

A reconciliation of GAAP-based Net Investment Income to Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income is shown below, and further explanation can be found at the end of this release.

Adjusted Recurring Net Investment Income represents the sum of (1) Interest and Rental Income Revenue, (2) Adjusted Income from Equity Method Investments, and (3) Management Fees and Retained Interest Income, net of (4) Interest Expense and (5) the elimination of our proportionate share of fees earned from co-investment structures. It also excludes other non-cash items such as Amortization of Real Estate Intangibles and, when applicable, Loss (Gain) on Debt Modification or Extinguishment:

• Interest and Rental Income Revenue

As of June 30, 2025, our Receivables, Net of Allowance, and Receivables Held-for-Sale totaled $3.1 billion, up 9% from $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2024, due to the funding of additional investments over the previous 12 months.

Interest and Rental Income Revenue was $67 million in Q2 2025, compared to $63 million in Q2 2024, driven by higher yields on our investments and investment fundings.

• Adjusted Income from Equity Method Investments

As of June 30, 2025, our Equity Method Investments were $4.1 billion, an increase of 21% from $3.4 billion as of June 30, 2024. Equity Method Investments includes our proportionate share of our co-investment vehicle CCH1, which was $559 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $66 million as of June 30, 2024. Approximately 79% of the assets in CCH1 were receivables or debt securities, and 21% were equity method investments as of June 30, 2025.

Adjusted Income from Equity Method Investments¹ was $79 million in Q2 2025, an increase of 33% compared to $59 million in Q2 2024, driven by both growth in Equity Method Investments and their higher yields.

• Management Fees and Retained Interest Income

As of June 30, 2025, assets held by our partners in our co-investment vehicles were $550 million, compared to $57 million as of June 30, 2024. In addition, our Retained Interests in Securitization Trusts, Net of Allowance, were $272 million, an increase of 14% from $238 million as of June 30, 2024.

Management Fees and Retained Interest Income Revenue was $9 million in Q2 2025, compared to $5 million in Q2 2024, driven by growth in both management fees from CCH1 and income from our retained interest in securitized assets.

• Interest Expense

As of June 30, 2025, our total debt outstanding was $4.7 billion, as compared to $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2024, and our weighted-average interest cost, as measured by GAAP interest expense as adjusted for loss on debt modification or extinguishment divided by average debt outstanding, was 5.8% in Q2 2025, compared to 5.6% in Q2 2024.

Interest expense was $80 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $20 million compared to $60 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to debt extinguishment costs of $11 million, which is not included in our Adjusted Earnings.

Managed Assets and New Investment Activity

As of June 30, 2025, our Managed Assets totaled $14.6 billion, up 13% from June 30, 2024, and consisted of (1) our Portfolio, (2) our partners’ portion of our co-investment vehicle CCH1, and (3) assets we have securitized. As of June 30, 2025, our Portfolio was approximately $7.2 billion. Portfolio yield was 8.3% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 8.0% as of June 30, 2024.

We closed new transactions totaling approximately $189 million in Q2 2025. Through the first six months of 2025, closed transactions totaled approximately $894 million. As of June 30, 2025, our pipeline was more than $6.0 billion.

Weighted average yields on new Portfolio investments were underwritten at more than 10.5% during Q2 2025, consistent with the weighted average yields on Portfolio investments over the prior five quarters.

An explanation and reconciliation of GAAP-based Portfolio to Managed Assets can be found at the end of this release.

Our Portfolio remains well-diversified across established clean energy end markets with approximately $3.5 billion of Behind-the-Meter assets and approximately $2.7 billion of Grid-Connected assets, with the remainder comprising assets in Fuels, Transportation, and Nature.

We continued to experience strong credit performance and negligible losses across our Portfolio of investments. The following is an analysis of the performance ratings of our Portfolio as of June 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Leverage

As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $87 million and our total liquidity was $1.4 billion, including approximately $1.3 billion of unused capacity under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program. In June 2025, we issued $1 billion of senior unsecured notes and used a portion of the note proceeds to complete a cash tender offer to repurchase $400 million and $300 million of senior unsecured notes due 2026 and 2027, respectively, and to repay our $200 million convertible notes due 2025.

Total debt outstanding was $4.7 billion at June 30, 2025, and our debt-to-equity ratio was 1.8x, within our target range of 1.5x to 2.0x and below our internal limit of 2.5x. Approximately 97% of our debt outstanding at June 30, 2025, was either fixed-rate or hedged base rate debt, and 3% was floating-rate debt.

Our weighted-average interest cost, as measured by GAAP interest expense as adjusted for loss on debt modification or extinguishment divided by average debt outstanding, was 5.7% through the first half of 2025 and 5.6% through the first half of 2024.

Sustainability and Impact Highlights

An estimated 54,000 metric tons of carbon emissions will be avoided annually by the transactions closed this quarter, equating to a CarbonCount^® score of 0.19 metric tons per $1,000 invested. In total, including assets not retained in our Portfolio, our Managed Assets are avoiding approximately 8.4 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually, based on our proprietary CarbonCount score.

Guidance

We reaffirm our guidance for both Adjusted Earnings per Share and dividend payout ratio. We continue to expect Adjusted Earnings per Share in 2027 to grow at a compound annual rate of 8% to 10%, relative to the 2023 baseline of $2.23 per share, which is equivalent to a midpoint of $3.15 per share in 2027. We also expect distributions of annual dividends per share of common stock to decline to between 55% and 60% of annual Adjusted Earnings per Share by 2027. This guidance reflects our judgments and estimates of (i) yield on our existing Portfolio; (ii) yield on incremental Portfolio investments, inclusive of our existing pipeline; (iii) the volume and profitability of transactions; (iv) amount, timing, and costs of debt and equity capital to fund new investments; (v) changes in costs and expenses reflective of our forecasted operations; and (vi) the general interest rate and market environment. In addition, distributions are subject to approval by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. We have not provided GAAP guidance as discussed in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release.

Dividend

The Company is also announcing today that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on October 17, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 3, 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information contained in this press release is forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in such Sections. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives. When we use the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on such statements. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in other periodic reports that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including, but not limited to, unanticipated events, after the date on which such statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement.

The Company has not provided GAAP guidance as forecasting a comparable GAAP financial measure, such as net income, would require that the Company apply the HLBV method to these investments. In order to forecast under the HLBV method, the Company would be required to make various assumptions related to expected changes in the net asset value of the various entities and how such changes would be allocated under HLBV. GAAP HLBV earnings over a period of time are very sensitive to these assumptions especially in regard to when a partnership transaction flips and thus the liquidation scenarios change materially. The Company believes that these assumptions would require unreasonable efforts to complete and if completed, the wide variation in projected GAAP earnings based upon a range of scenarios would not be meaningful to investors. Accordingly, the Company has not included a GAAP reconciliation table related to any adjusted earnings guidance.

Estimated carbon savings are calculated using the estimated kilowatt hours, gallons of fuel oil, million British thermal units of natural gas and gallons of water saved as appropriate, for each project. The energy savings are converted into an estimate of metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions based upon the project’s location and the corresponding emissions factor data from the U.S. Government and International Energy Agency. Portfolios of projects are represented on an aggregate basis.
