8. Industry Overview ● Concerns that lower prices for energy from traditional sources (oil, natural gas) will destroy demand and profitability of renewable energy are unfounded. ● Historically, fossil fuel prices have had little correlation to electricity prices, where the majority of renewable energy actually towards producing. ● Therefore, even though oil prices have fallen to around $50/barrel, pricing for electricity derived from sources such as solar is unlikely to significantly lower.

15. Balance Sheet Takeaways -$2 billion in PP&E (all they do is acquire stuff)~ 70% of assets -Take production costs up front (very low deferred costs) -1:1 debt:equity ratio

16. Cash Flow Takeaways -Around $60 million available for distribution in dividends last year (roughly 85% of cash available for distribution is distributed per TERP’s policy) - Retain 15%

17. Catalysts -Undervalued renewables, because people associate oil prices with renewable energy stocks -SunEdison is well positioned to purchase many other companies (lots of cash on hand and cheap renewable energy companies) so ready made stream of projects for TerraForm -Buyer’s market in renewables (end of ITC)

18. Risks -Parties in PPA may default on payments (doubtful because all of major creditors are investment-grade-- most are utilities or gov’ts) -Dividend policy inhibits ability to grow on its own (85% of CAFD goes to dividends) -Market timing -Government policy changes

19. Dividend Discount Valuation

20. Investment Thesis TerraForm is a lower-risk way to capture the upside potential of the renewable energy sector

21. Recap -TerraForm is the best positioned yieldco at a solid time for renewable energy investment - parental support - sellers in the market - depreciated renewables prices

22. Exit Strategy ● Uncertain energy regulation new government ● Market correction? Sale price: ~$45 Time-scale: 12 months
