DISCLAIMER This presentation includes “forward looking statements” (within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “forecast,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward looking statements include projected financial information. Such forward looking statements with respect to projections, revenues, earnings, performance, strategies, prospects and other aspects of the businesses of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (the “Company” or “IEA”) are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability to realize financial and strategic goals from acquisition and investment activity, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses; (2) our ability to manage projects effectively and in accordance with management estimates, as well as the ability to accurately estimate the costs associated with ours fixed price and other contracts, including any material changes in estimates for completion of projects; (3) the effect on demand for our services and changes in the amount of capital expenditures by customers; (4) significant changes in tax and other economic incentives and political and governmental policies which could materially and adversely affect the U.S. wind and solar industries; (5) substantial liabilities that could result from physical hazards; (6) the inability to operate efficiently if we are unable to attract and retain qualified managers and skilled employees; (7) variability in quarterly results due seasonality, spending patterns of our customers and adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter season; and (8) adverse effects on our financial results from project delays and the completion time of contracts. For a full description of the risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, please refer to IEA’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") including those described as “Risk Factors” in IEA’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on February 9, 2018 (the "Proxy Statement"). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation includes information based on independent industry publications and other sources. You should not construe the contents of this presentation as legal, accounting, business or tax advice and you should consult your own professional advisors as to the legal, accounting, business, tax, financial or other matters contained herein. The estimates, forecasts and projections contained herein involve significant elements of subjective judgment and analysis and reflect numerous judgments, estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain in prospective financial information of any kind. As such, no representation can be made as to the attainability of such estimates, forecasts and projections. Investors are cautioned that such estimates, forecasts or projections have not been audited and have not been prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a listing of risks and other factors that could impact the combined company’s ability to attain its projected results, please refer to the “forward looking statements” above and the “Risk Factors” section of the Proxy Statement. This presentation includes projections that are forward-looking and based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond IEA’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, IEA believes that projections relating to periods beyond 12 months from their date of preparation carry increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included elsewhere in this presentation. IEA believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to IEA’s financial condition and results of operations. A more fulsome description of the nature of the adjustments from GAAP is provided elsewhere in this presentation. These non-GAAP financial measures may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing financial results. Therefore, these financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or other measures of profitability or performance under GAAP. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are not in conformity with GAAP, we urge you to review IEA’s audited financial statements, which have been filed with the SEC. 1
