Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In this Form 10-Q, unless specifically stated otherwise or the context otherwise indicates, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure, L.P., and any of our other subsidiaries. Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership of which we are the sole general partner and to which we refer in this Form 10-Q as our “Operating Partnership.” We invest in projects which, among others things, are focused on reducing the impact of greenhouse gases that have been scientifically linked to climate change. We refer to these gases, which are often for consistency expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents, as carbon emissions.
The following discussion is a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as amended by our Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (collectively, our “2025 Form 10-K”), that was filed with the SEC.
Our Business
We are an investor in sustainable infrastructure assets advancing the energy transition. With more than $17 billion in Managed Assets, our investment strategy is focused primarily on long-lived real assets that generate long-term recurring cash flows. Our investments take many forms, including equity, joint ventures, real estate, receivables or securities, and other financing transactions. We generate recurring income from net investment income from our portfolio, from income through our residual ownership in securitization and co-investment structures, and from asset management and other services. We also generate income through gain-on-sale securitization transactions, broker/dealer and other services.
We are internally managed by an executive team that has extensive relevant industry knowledge and experience, and have a team of over 170 clean energy investment, operating, and technical professionals. We have long-standing relationships with some of the leading U.S. clean energy project developers, owners and operators, utilities, and energy service companies (“ESCOs”), which provide recurring, programmatic investment and fee-generating opportunities, while also enabling scale benefits and operational and transactional efficiencies.
Our investments are focused on three markets:
•Behind-the-Meter (“BTM”): distributed renewable energy projects which reduce energy cost and/or usage and increase resiliency through residential, commercial & industrial, and community solar power and energy storage deployments, as well as energy efficiency improvements such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), lighting, energy controls, roofs, windows, building shells, and/or combined heat and power systems. The off-taker or counterparty for BTM assets may be the building owner or occupant, and our investment may be secured by the installed improvements or other real estate rights;
•Grid-Connected (“GC”): utility-scale renewable energy projects that deploy cleaner energy sources, such as solar, solar-plus-storage, and wind, to generate cleaner, lower cost energy. The offtakers or counterparties for GC assets may be utilities, electric users, or participants in the wholesale electric power markets who have entered into contractual commitments, such as power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), to purchase power produced by a renewable energy project at a specified price with potential price escalators for a portion of the project’s estimated life; and
•Fuels, Transport, and Nature (“FTN”): a range of infrastructure assets that are designed to reduce emissions and/or provide environmental benefits in projects beyond the power grid, such as transportation and fuels, including renewable natural gas (RNG) plants, transportation fleet enhancements, and ecological restoration projects, among others. For FTN assets, the off-takers may be oil and gas refiners, industrial companies, and vertically integrated electric utilities.
We have also identified additional markets beyond our three traditional markets in which we believe we can identify potential investments which align with our investment strategy.
Our primary objective is to earn attractive risk-adjusted returns that sufficiently exceed our cost of capital. We believe we are able to generate superior risk-adjusted returns in part due to our adherence to a core set of investment criteria. In particular, we are focused primarily on investments which are:
•income-generating sustainable infrastructure assets;
•supported by underlying, long-term recurring cash flows;
•contracted with creditworthy, incentivized off-takers;
•reliant upon proven commercial technologies; and
- 40 -
•originated by programmatic clients.
We completed approximately $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion of transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to approximately $189 million and $894 million during the same period in 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, our total Managed Assets are $17.6 billion, and include our Portfolio, the portion of assets owned by others in our co-investment vehicle, and other assets in securitization trusts. We held approximately $8.2 billion of transactions on our balance sheet, which we refer to as our “Portfolio.” As of June 30, 2026, our Portfolio consisted of over 600 assets and we seek to manage the diversity of our Portfolio by, among other factors, project type, project operator, type of investment, type of technology, transaction size, geography, obligor and maturity. The fee-generating assets attributable to other investors in our co-investment structures that were not consolidated as part of our Portfolio totaled approximately $1.5 billion.
Certain of the assets we originate have a risk and return profile which makes them better suited for other institutional investors rather than for inclusion in our own Portfolio. We finance such investments via securitization transactions, where we transfer all or a portion of an investment to a securitization trust in exchange for cash and/or residual interests in the trust, and in some cases, ongoing fees. As of June 30, 2026, we manage approximately $7.4 billion in assets in such securitization trusts.
Our equity investments in energy transition assets and infrastructure projects are operated by various renewable energy companies or by joint ventures in which we participate. These transactions allow us to participate in the cash flows associated with these projects, typically on a priority basis. Our debt investments in various renewable energy or other sustainable infrastructure projects or portfolios of projects are generally secured by the installed improvements, or other real estate rights. Our energy efficiency debt investments are usually assigned the payment stream from the project savings and other contractual rights, often using our pre-existing master purchase agreements with the ESCOs.
Investing greater than 30% of our equity capital in any single investment requires the approval of a majority of our independent directors. A single investment of greater than 15% of of our equity capital may require the approval of a majority of our independent directors, if the investment does not meet certain board-approved investment criteria. We may adjust the mix and duration of our assets over time in order to allow us to manage various aspects of our Portfolio, including expected risk-adjusted returns, macroeconomic conditions, liquidity, availability of adequate financing for our assets, and our exemption from registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
We believe we have a broad range of financing sources available to fund our growing investment volume. We finance our business through cash on hand, debt which may be either unsecured or secured and either fixed- or floating-rate, or equity, and we may also decide to finance such transactions through the use of off-balance sheet securitizations or co-investment structures. We have an active co-investment vehicle with KKR where we jointly invest in eligible projects, and we may consider further use of similar structures to allow us to expand the investments that we make or to manage our Portfolio diversification. Our revolving line of credit and our commercial paper programs allow us flexibility with regards to the timing of long-term capital markets transactions. We manage the interest rate risk associated with debt issuances through hedging activities, including the use of interest rate swaps. When issuing debt, we generally provide the estimated carbon emission savings using CarbonCount. In addition, certain of our debt issuances meet the environmental eligibility criteria for green bonds as defined by the International Capital Markets Association’s Green Bond Principles, which we believe makes our debt more attractive for certain investors compared to such offerings that do not qualify under these principles.
We have a large and active pipeline of potential new opportunities that are in various stages of our underwriting process. We refer to potential opportunities as being part of our pipeline if we have determined that the project fits within our investment strategy and exhibits the appropriate risk and reward characteristics through an initial credit analysis, including a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the opportunity, as well as research on the relevant market and sponsor. Our pipeline of transactions that could potentially close in the next 12 months consists of opportunities in which we will be the lead originator as well as opportunities in which we may participate with other institutional investors. There can be no assurance with regard to any specific terms of such pipeline transactions or that any or all of the transactions in our pipeline will be completed. As of June 30, 2026, our pipeline consisted of more than $6.5 billion in new equity, debt and real estate opportunities. Of our pipeline, approximately 35% is related to BTM assets, 51% is related to GC assets, and 8% are related to FTN assets, with the remainder related to other sustainable infrastructure.
As part of our investment process, we calculate the ratio of the estimated first year of metric tons of carbon emissions avoided by our investments divided by the capital invested to quantify the carbon impact of our investments. In this calculation, which we refer to as CarbonCount, we use emissions factor data, expressed on a CO2 equivalent basis, representing the locational marginal emissions associated with a project to determine an estimate of a project’s energy production or savings to compute an estimate of metric tons of carbon emissions avoided. In addition to carbon emission avoidance, we also consider other environmental attributes, such as water use reduction, stormwater remediation benefits and stream restoration benefits.
We operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

Factors Impacting our Operating Results
We expect that our results of operations will be affected by a number of factors and will primarily depend on the size and transaction mix of our Portfolio, the income we receive from securitizations, syndications and other services, our Portfolio’s credit risk profile, changes in market interest rates, commodity prices, federal, state and/or municipal governmental policies, general market conditions in local, regional and national economies, and our ability to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Form 10-K. Refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of our results for the year ended December 31, 2024 and a comparison of our results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Overview
We are an investor in sustainable infrastructure assets advancing the energy transition. With more than $16 billion in managed assets, our investment strategy is focused primarily on long-lived real assets that generate long-term recurring cash flows. We generate recurring income from net investment income from our portfolio, from income through our residual ownership in securitization and co-investment structures, and from asset management and other services. We also generate income through gain-on-sale securitization transactions, broker/dealer and other services.
We are internally managed by an executive team that has extensive relevant industry knowledge and experience, and have a team of over 170 full-time investment, operating, and technical professionals. We have long-standing relationships with the leading U.S. clean energy project developers, owners and operators, utilities, and energy service companies (“ESCOS”), which provide recurring, programmatic investment and fee-generating opportunities, while also enabling scale benefits and operational and transactional efficiencies.
We completed approximately $4.3 billion of transactions during 2025 and $2.3 billion in 2024. As of December 31, 2025, our managed assets total approximately $16.1 billion, and generally fall into one of three categories: (1) our Portfolio, which represents investments we have retained on our balance sheet, (2) fee-generating assets in our co-investment structures that are not in our Portfolio but held by our investment partners in these structures, and (3) assets we have securitized by transferring all or a portion of the economics of the investment, typically using securitization trusts, to institutional investors in exchange for cash and/or residual interests in the assets and in some cases, ongoing fees. As of December 31, 2025, we held approximately $7.6 billion of assets in our Portfolio, and we also managed approximately $8.5 billion in securitization trusts or co-investment vehicles that are not consolidated on our balance sheet.
See “Item 1. Business” for a further discussion of our business, investing strategy, and financing strategy.
Market Conditions
The market for sustainable infrastructure assets in which our investments are predominantly focused continues to grow, powered by a number of long-term trends impacting the U.S. economy and energy markets. These include, but are not limited to (1) expectations for faster growth in U.S. electricity demand, (2) heightened concerns about inflation and, in turn, greater prioritization of lower cost electricity sources like solar power and wind power, (3) broader recognition of the links between climate change and human activities, combined with greater awareness of, and concern about, the increase in frequency and magnitude of environmental disasters that have led to damages and losses costing hundreds of billions of dollars per year, and (4) greater attention to the need for grid resilience and reliability, as well as national energy security. Altogether, this is expected to lead to significant increase in U.S. load growth which would require an increase in electric generation capacity through the rest of this decade and beyond.
First and foremost, there have been significant changes in the outlook for U.S. power demand, with load growth now expected to experience its most significant increase since before the turn of this century. For the past 20 years, U.S. electricity demand has been essentially flat at approximately 4,000 TWh per year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (the “EIA”), due largely to the impact of successful energy efficiency and conservation initiatives. According to the EIA, electricity generation by the U.S. electric power sector increased by 2.5% in 2025, and is expected to increase by 1% in 2026 and 3% in 2027. This growth is due to a number of new macro trends that have materially altered the U.S. electricity market, including growth in data centers, a resurgence in domestic manufacturing, as well as the broader trend of electrification of more sectors of the economy, including on-road transportation, industrial manufacturing, and space heating, among others.
•Data centers. Spurred in part by unprecedented investment in artificial intelligence, data center power demand is expected to grow substantially. Data center share of total U.S. power demand is expected to increase from approximately 5% of total U.S. power demand in 2025 to 12% by 2030, with 124 GW of AI capacity added on a cumulative basis between 2025 and 2030, resulting in overall U.S. data center energy demand increasing from 224 terawatt-hours in 2025 to 606 terawatt-hours in 2030. McKinsey expects that capital expenditures on data center
- 39 -
infrastructure beyond IT hardware are expected to exceed $1.7 trillion by 2030, representing sustainable infrastructure investment opportunities beyond grid-connected power generation.
•Domestic manufacturing. Following a decades-long trend towards offshoring, there has been a sharp reversal in recent years in favor of reshoring, as manufacturers have sought to (1) reduce supply chain vulnerabilities exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, (2) address a growing consumer segment in favor of “Made in the USA” products, and (3) overcome growing national security concerns stemming from the country's higher dependence on foreign countries for manufacturing goods, particularly for strategic industries like industrial materials, energy products, and semiconductors. Furthered by supportive government policies, culminating in transformative legislation and incentives including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the CHIPS Act, there has been a resurgence of investment in domestic manufacturing in the United States over the last few years. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2025, U.S. spending on construction of manufacturing facilities surpassed an annualized rate of $200 billion, up from approximately $75 billion in 2020. This rise in spending on domestic manufacturing is expected to create a minimum of 250 million square feet of new manufacturing space by 2030, according to NewMark.
•The “electrification of everything.” Further driving U.S. load growth higher is the broader trend of electrification expanding to more products and processes that had previously been powered by fossil fuels like diesel, oil, and natural gas. One of the most prominent of these trends is the electrification of on-road transportation. With sales of new light-duty electric vehicles in the United States totaling approximately 1.3 million in 2025, representing 8% of total new car sales, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association, there were more than 7 million light-duty battery electric vehicles registered in the United States at the end of 2025, based on Energy Electric Institute and Cox Automotive data, up from less than 100,000 in 2012. With electric vehicles on U.S. roads expected to grow to approximately 53 million by 2035, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s June 2025 forecast, it is estimated that electric vehicle charging alone could increase annual U.S. electricity demand by more than 175 TWh by 2035. In addition, electrification has taken hold across a number of other sectors of the U.S. economy, including space heating–underscored by annual sales of heat pumps surpassing sales of gas furnaces since 2022–as well as the electrification of industrial processes, including greater adoption of electric furnaces and electric boilers, among other processes and products, which we believe will drive U.S. electricity demand even higher.
The second important trend affecting our market and demand for assets we invest in is heightened concern and focus on inflation, and in turn, the desire to supply the expected U.S. load growth over the next decade with the lowest cost and least inflationary sources of electricity. From 2021 to 2023, the United States economy, along with many other economies across the globe, suffered from the first inflation shock in multiple decades. This has led to heightened sensitivity to prices among consumers and businesses, which we believe will lead to extensive effort by businesses and policymakers to minimize inflation in energy prices. We believe this will lead not only to an “all of the above” energy strategy that does not limit any potential sources of energy, but emphasizes a widespread supply of energy from as many sources as possible, with a prioritization of the lowest cost sources of energy. According to the levelized cost of energy (“LCOE”) reports that Lazard Inc. publishes annually, new build solar energy and wind energy now provide the lowest potential cost of electricity in the United States, even on an unsubsidized basis, which we believe will continue to lead to high demand for clean energy infrastructure assets to help minimize energy inflation.
The third trend is the recognition of the real and growing financial cost of climate change. According to the Pew Research Center, 51% of U.S. adults in 2025 described climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being, up from 40% in 2013, while approximately 64% of US. adults in 2024 said renewable energy development should be prioritized over expanding oil, gas, and coal production. Further, we believe the substantial increase over the last several years in both the magnitude and frequency of environmental disasters linked to climate change will lead to greater appreciation not only of the broader impacts of climate change but also the very real financial costs it is incurring as well. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”), the year 2025 was the third warmest year on record, while the ten warmest years since 1850 have occurred in the last decade. According to ClimateCentral, a policy-neutral 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in 2025 there were 23 confirmed climate disaster events in the United States with losses exceeding $1 billion that in aggregate accounted for total damage of approximately $115 billion. Over the period from 2016 to 2025, there have been over 200 such events with aggregate costs of $1.5 trillion. It has become clear that climate change is not merely a concern for environmentalists but a real and growing threat to communities across the United States (and globe) that is resulting in substantial and growing financial cost to society. We believe the persistence and possibility of intensification of these events will not only result in even greater recognition of the threat of climate change but a growing appreciation for clean energy and other climate solutions and in turn an increase in the types of sustainable infrastructure investment opportunities that are the focus of HASI’s business model.
Finally, the expected growth in U.S. electricity demand combined with the increase in climate events and disasters, as discussed above, is also leading to greater attention to and prioritization of improving the resilience and reliability of the grid. Simultaneously, greater geopolitical conflict and uncertainty along with volatility in fossil fuel prices is leading to growing prioritization of national energy security. We believe renewable energy and storage provide important solutions to
