NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
TerraForm Power, Inc. (the "Company") is a subsidiary of SunEdison, Inc. ("SunEdison"). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC’s, regulations for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's unaudited consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2015, and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
When renewable energy facilities are acquired from SunEdison, the Company is required to recast its historical financial statements to reflect the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the acquired renewable energy facilities for the period it was owned by SunEdison in accordance with rules applicable to transactions between entities under common control. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired 19 solar energy facilities with a combined nameplate capacity of 161.1 MW from SunEdison, which resulted in a recast of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related statement cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014. The facilities were not in operations in 2014 and there was no impact to the statement of operations or accumulated other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The following table presents the changes to previously reported amounts of the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K:

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company used estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses and cash flows during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This standard will become effective for us on January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method or determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which affects the following areas of the consolidation analysis: limited partnerships and similar entities, evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and in determination of the primary beneficiary, effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and for certain investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for us for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and interim periods therein. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated balance sheet.
. 4. ACQUISITIONS
2015 Acquisitions
Acquisition of First Wind
On January 29, 2015, the Company, through Terra LLC, acquired from First Wind Holdings, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “First Wind”) 521.1 MW of operating power assets, including 500.0 MW of wind power assets and 21.1 MW of solar power assets (the “First Wind acquisition”). The operating power assets the Company acquired are located in Maine, New York, Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts. The purchase price for this acquisition was $810.4 million, net of cash acquired. The initial accounting for this acquisition is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts for this acquisition, included in the table within the "Acquisition Accounting" section of this footnote below, are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed.
The operating revenues and net loss of the acquired facilities reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $22.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
The following unaudited pro forma supplementary data presented in the table below gives effect to the 2014 Acquisitions as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2013 and the First Wind Acquisition as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2014. The 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 acquisitions been consummated on the date assumed or of the Company’s results of operations for any future date.

Corporate-level Financing Arrangements
Term Loan
On January 28, 2015, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance on the Term Loan of $573.5 million. The Company recognized a $12.0 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as a result of this repayment.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On January 28, 2015, the Company replaced its existing revolver with a new $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). The Revolver consists of a revolving credit facility in an amount of at least $550.0 million (available for revolving loans and letters of credit) and permits Terra Operating LLC to increase commitments to up to $725.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company recognized a $1.3 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of the exchange.
On May 1, 2015, the Company exercised its option to increase its borrowing capacity under the Revolver by $100.0 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company now has a total borrowing capacity of $650.0 million under the Revolver.
The Revolver matures on January 27, 2020. Each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic restricted subsidiaries (excluding non-recourse subsidiaries) and Terra LLC are or will become guarantors under the Revolver.
At Terra Operating LLC’s option, all outstanding amounts under the Revolver will bear interest initially at a rate per annum equal to either (i) a base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or (ii) a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 2.50%.
17
TERRAFORM POWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
After the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, the base rate margin will range between 1.25% and 1.75% and the Eurodollar rate margin will range between 2.25% and 2.75% as determined by reference to a leverage-based grid.
The Revolver provides for voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, subject to notice periods, and requires Terra Operating LLC to prepay outstanding borrowings in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received by Terra LLC or its restricted subsidiaries from the incurrence of indebtedness not permitted by the Revolver by Terra Operating LLC or its restricted subsidiaries.
The Revolver, each guaranty and any interest rate, currency hedging or hedging of Renewable Energy Certificate ("REC") obligations of Terra Operating LLC or any guarantor owed to the administrative agent, any arranger or any lender under the Revolver is secured by first priority security interests in (i) all of Terra Operating LLC's and each guarantor’s assets, (ii) 100% of the capital stock of each of Terra Operating LLC’s and its domestic restricted subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of Terra Operating LLC’s foreign restricted subsidiaries, and (iii) all intercompany debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, collateral under the Revolver excludes the capital stock of non-recourse subsidiaries.
Senior Notes
On January 28, 2015, through our indirect subsidiary, Terra Operating LLC, the Company issued $800.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 at a price of 99.214% or the "Senior Notes." Terra Operating LLC used the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the price of the First Wind acquisition. The Senior Notes are senior obligations of Terra Operating LLC and are guaranteed by Terra LLC and each of Terra Operating LLC's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2015.
Bridge Facility
On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. which provides the Company with up to $515.0 million of senior unsecured bridge facility (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge Facility may be used by the Company, subject to certain conditions, to fund acquisitions, to repay certain indebtedness of acquisition facilities and to pay related fees and expenses. On April 20, 2015, the Bridge Facility was amended to add Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as participants to the Bridge Facility in addition to Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.
Project-level Financing Arrangements
The Company's renewable energy facilities have long-term debt obligations in separate legal entities. The Company typically finances its renewable energy facilities through project entity specific debt secured by the renewable energy facility's assets (mainly the renewable energy facility) with no recourse to the Company. Typically, these financing arrangements provide for a construction loan, which upon completion may or may not be converted into a term loan.
Financing Lease Obligations
In certain transactions, the Company accounts for the proceeds of sale leasebacks as financings, which are typically secured by the renewable energy facility asset and its future cash flows from energy sales, and without recourse to the Company under the terms of the arrangement.
Bull Hill Financing
As a result of the First Wind acquisition, the Company assumed $59.8 million of financing lease obligations. The financing lease obligations assumed by the Company include those pursuant to a sale-leaseback agreement, entered into by First Wind on November 21, 2012, whereby First Wind sold substantially all of the property, plant and equipment of the Bull Hill facility to a financial institution and simultaneously entered into a long-term lease with that financial institution for the use of the assets. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will continue to operate the wind facility and has the option to extend the lease or repurchase the assets sold at the end of the lease term. The sale-leaseback transaction was accounted for as a failed sale and the remaining obligations as of the date of the First Wind acquisition have been recorded as a financing lease obligation.

Terra LLC is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, the Company records income tax on its 44.9% of Terra LLC's taxable income and SunEdison records income tax on its 50.4% share of taxable income generated by Terra LLC.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on certain tax benefits attributed to the Company and to lower statutory income tax rates in our foreign jurisdictions. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the tax benefits for losses realized prior to the IPO were recognized primarily because of existing deferred tax liabilities. As of March 31, 2015, most jurisdictions are in a net deferred tax asset position. A valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets primarily because of the history of losses in those jurisdictions.
10. DERIVATIVES
As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company has entered into derivative instruments which include interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts to mitigate interest rate, foreign currency and commodity price exposure. If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of 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 economically hedge price variability inherent in electricity sales arrangements. The objectives of these transactions are to minimize the impact of variability in spot electricity prices and stabilize estimated revenue streams. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

There was no cash collateral received or pledged as of December 31, 2014 related to our derivative transactions.
Derivatives Designated as Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps
In September 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge floating rate debt under the Term Loan. The interest rate swap qualified for hedge accounting and was designated as a cash flow hedge. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company paid a fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreement paid the Company a floating interest rate. This interest rate swap agreement was terminated on January 28, 2015 due to the extinguishment of the Term Loan by the Company on the same date, as discussed in Note 8. Long-term Debt. Due to the termination of the Term Loan, the Company reclassified the loss of $2.5 million that was previously deferred in other comprehensive income into earnings as the forecasted transaction is considered probable of not occurring. The reclassified amounts were recorded in interest expense, net during the current period. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 for fees incurred to terminate the interest rate swap.
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge floating rate project-level debt. This interest rate swap qualifies for hedge accounting and was designated as a cash flow hedge. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the project pays a fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreement pays a floating interest rate. The amounts deferred in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the period related to the interest rate swap are provided in the table above. The loss expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months is approximately $0.8 million.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are economic hedges for project-level debt. These interest rate swaps are used to hedge floating rate debt. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the projects pay a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a floating interest rate. As these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in interest expense, net in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations, as provided in the table above.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company has foreign currency contracts in order to economically hedge its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The settlement of these hedges occurs on a quarterly basis through maturity. 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 consolidated statement of operations, as provided in the table above.
Commodity Contracts
In first quarter 2015, the Company acquired commodity contracts through its acquisition of First Wind. These agreements 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 floating market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. As these hedges are not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in operating revenues net, in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations, as provided in the table above.
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as follows:
As of March 31, 2015 | As of December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||||||
(In thousands) | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | ||||||||||||
Long-term debt, including current portion | $ | 2,194,678 | $ | 2,249,970 | $ | 1,652,621 | $ | 1,659,883 |
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was determined using inputs classified as Level 2 and a discounted cash flow approach using market rates for similar debt instruments.
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 accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet:

The fair value 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 extrapolation from or interpolation between actively traded contracts as well as 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 fair value by using pricing services to support the underlying market price of commodity, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company uses a discounted valuation technique to fair value its derivative assets and liabilities. The primary inputs in the valuation models for commodity contracts are market observable forward commodity curves and risk-free discount rates 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, foreign currency exchange rates, and to a lesser degree, credit spreads.
The Company's interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts, and commodity contracts are considered Level 2, since all significant inputs are corroborated by market observable data. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
