Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company (GREC) is a publicly reporting, non-traded limited liability company that acquires and manages income-generating renewable energy and other energy-related businesses. Our business objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors, consisting of both current income and long-term capital appreciation. We do this by acquiring and financing the construction and operation of income-generating renewable energy and sustainable development projects, primarily within North America. GREC invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing renewable energy power facilities that sell long-term electricity contracts to off-takers with high credit quality, such as utilities, municipalities, and corporations.
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Return information is unaudited and subject to change. All returns shown assume reinvestment of distributions and are net of all expenses.
1 As of November 30, 2024. Inception to date (“ITD”) returns are annualized consistent with the IPA Practice Guideline 2018.
2 As of November 1, 2024. There is no assurance GREC will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. Any distributions will be at the discretion of the board of directors. GREC may fund distributions entirely from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, or offering proceeds. In no event, however, shall funds be advanced or borrowed for the purpose of distributions if the amount of such distributions would exceed the accrued and received revenues for the previous four quarters, less paid and accrued operating costs with respect to such revenues, and costs shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. For the quarter ending March 31, 2024, 100% of distributions were funded from a return of principal, cash on hand and other financing sources. By funding distributions with a return of principal to investors, GREC will have less money to invest, which may lower its overall return. For a historical breakdown of the distribution funding sources, please see GREC’s SEC filings. On April 26, 2024, the Board of Directors of GREC approved the reduction to $0 of the daily distribution rates for each of the Class A, C, I, P-A, P-I, P-D, P-T and P-S shares for the period from May 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, or until such time as the Board affirmatively authorizes a change to these distribution rates.
3 Monthly share value as of November 1, 2024. Monthly Share Value (MSV) based calculations involve significant professional judgment. The calculated value of our assets and liabilities may differ from our actual realizable value or future value, which would affect the MSV as well as any returns derived from MSV, and ultimately the value of your investment. See the Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) for additional details related to the calculation of MSV.
4 Returns shown reflect the percentage change in the MSV per share from the beginning of the applicable period, plus the amount of any distribution per share declared in the period. All returns are unaudited, assume the reinvestment of distributions, and are net of all expenses including G&A expenses, management fees, performance participation fees, and share class specific fees, as applicable.
