Organization |
Vivint Solar, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 12, 2011. Vivint Solar, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The Company commenced operations in May 2011. The Company offers solar energy to residential customers through long-term customer contracts, such as power purchase agreements and solar energy system leases. The Company enters into these long-term customer contracts and legal-form leases through a sales organization that primarily uses a direct-to-home sales model. The long-term customer contracts are typically for 20 years and require the customer to make monthly payments to the Company. In May 2015, the Company began offering solar energy systems to commercial and industrial (“C&I”) customers through long-term customer contracts. On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with SunEdison, the world’s largest renewable energy development company, and SEV Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunEdison.
The Company has formed various investment funds to monetize the recurring customer payments under its long-term customer contracts and the investment tax credits, accelerated tax depreciation and other incentives associated with residential solar energy systems. The Company uses the cash received from the investment funds to finance a portion of the Company’s variable and fixed costs associated with installing the residential solar energy systems.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2015. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which are considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or other future year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in all but one of its operational VIEs, which are consolidated by the Company. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For additional information, see Note 10—Investment Funds.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimates that affect the Company’s principles of consolidation, revenue recognition, the useful lives of solar energy systems, the valuation and recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill acquired, useful lives of intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, the valuation of stock-based compensation, the determination of valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, and the valuation of non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
5
As the Company has no other comprehensive income or loss, comprehensive income (loss) is the same as net income available (loss attributable) to common stockholders for all periods presented.
Other Changes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reassessed its reportable segments as discussed in Note 17—Segment Information. There have been no other changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16, Business Combinations – Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Under current GAAP, an acquirer is required to retrospectively adjust any provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities. To simplify the accounting for adjustments to provisional amounts, the update eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. This update is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently have acquisitions which would be affected by this update.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which addresses an omission in ASU 2015-03. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability similar to debt discounts. Existing recognition and measurement guidance is not impacted. However, ASU 2015-15 acknowledges that ASU 2015-03 does not address the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Per ASU 2015-15, an entity may defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-15 is effective immediately. ASU 2015-03 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements and has adopted ASU 2015-15, which resulted in no change of presentation. If the Company enters into other debt arrangements that fall under ASU 2015-03, the Company will account for any related debt issuance costs per the update upon its effectiveness in the first quarter of 2016.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, and the standard is now effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The deferral allows for early adoption of the standard, which for the Company would be on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) – Customers Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This update provides guidance regarding the accounting for fees paid by a customer in cloud computing arrangements. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the payment of fees should be accounted for in the same manner as the acquisition of other software licenses. If there is no software license, the fees should be accounted for as a service contract. The update is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (2) retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This update makes some targeted changes to current consolidation guidance. These changes impact both the voting and the variable interest consolidation models. In particular, the update will change how companies determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are VIEs. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company currently consolidates all but one of its VIEs and does not anticipate that ASU 2015-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments of the Company, consisting of cash and cash equivalents excluding time deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable—related party and distributions payable to redeemable non-controlling interests (all Level I) approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Time deposits (Level II) approximate fair value due to their short-term nature (30 days) and, upon renewal, the interest rate is adjusted based on current market rates. The Company’s long-term debt is carried at cost and was $253.0 million and $105.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company estimated the fair values of long-term debt to approximate its carrying values as interest accrues at a floating rate based on market rates. The Company did not realize gains or losses related to financial assets for any of the periods presented.

In February 2015, the Company decided to discontinue the external sales of the SunEye and PV Designer products, the rights to which the Company acquired when it acquired Solmetric Corporation, or Solmetric, in January 2014. This discontinuance was considered an indicator of impairment, and a review regarding the recoverability of the carrying value of the related intangible assets was performed. In-process research and development, which was intended to generate Solmetric product sales in the residential market, was discontinued and deemed fully impaired resulting in a charge of $2.1 million. The Solmetric, SunEye and PV Designer trade names will no longer be utilized and were deemed fully impaired resulting in a charge of $1.3 million. The SunEye and PV Designer developed technology assets were deemed fully impaired resulting in a charge of $0.7 million. Customer relationships were deemed partially impaired by $0.4 million due to the loss of external customers who purchased the discontinued products. As a result of this review, the Company recorded a total impairment charge of $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Working Capital Credit Facility
In March 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Working Capital Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $131.0 million from certain financial institutions for which Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC is acting as administrative agent and collateral agent. In May 2015, certain conditions were satisfied and the aggregate amount of available revolver borrowings was increased to $150.0 million. Loans under the Working Capital Facility will be used to pay for the costs incurred in connection with the design and construction of solar energy systems, and letters of credit may be issued for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred an aggregate of $70.0 million in borrowings under the Working Capital Facility. Further, the Company established a letter of credit under the Working Capital Facility for $3.3 million related to an insurance contract. As such, the remaining borrowing capacity was $76.7 million as of September 30, 2015.
The Company has pledged the interests in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding Vivint Solar Financing I, LLC, as security for its obligations under the Working Capital Facility. Prepayments are permitted under the Working Capital Facility, and the principal and accrued interest on any outstanding loans mature in March 2020. Interest accrues on borrowings at a floating rate equal to, dependent on the type of borrowing, (1) a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the interest period divided by one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage, plus a margin of 3.25%; or (2) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Citibank prime rate and (c) the one-month interest period Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 2.25%. Interest is payable dependent on the type of borrowing at the end of (1) the interest period that the Company may elect as a term and not to exceed three months, (2) quarterly or (3) at maturity of the Working Capital Facility.
The Working Capital Facility includes customary covenants, including covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, make fundamental changes to its business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments or enter into certain related party transactions. Among other restrictions, the Working Capital Facility provides that the Company may not incur any indebtedness other than that related to the Working Capital Facility or in respect of permitted swap agreements. These restrictions do not impact the Company’s ability to enter into investment funds, including those that are similar to those entered into previously. The Company is also required to maintain $25.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and certain investments as of the last day of each quarter. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.
The Working Capital Facility also contains certain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, lenders under the Working Capital Facility will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts then outstanding.
Interest expense for this facility was approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. No interest expense was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the current portion of deferred debt issuance costs of $0.5 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the long-term portion of deferred debt issuance costs of $1.9 million was recorded in other non-current assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Bank of America, N.A. Aggregation Credit Facility
In September 2014, the Company entered into an aggregation credit facility (the “Aggregation Facility”), which was subsequently amended in February 2015, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $375.0 million and, for which Bank of America, N.A. is acting as administrative agent. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and the approval of the lenders, the Company may increase the aggregate amount of principal borrowings to $550.0 million.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had incurred an aggregate of $183.0 million in term loan borrowings under the Aggregation Facility. The remaining borrowing capacity was $192.0 million as of September 30, 2015. However, the Company does not have immediate access to the remaining $192.0 million balance as future borrowings are dependent on when it has solar energy system revenue to collateralize the borrowings.
The borrower under the Aggregation Facility is Vivint Solar Financing I, LLC, one of the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, that in turn holds the Company’s interests in the majority of the managing members of the Company’s existing investment funds. These managing members guarantee the borrower’s obligations under the Aggregation Facility. In addition, Vivint Solar Holdings, Inc. has pledged its interests in the borrower, and the borrower has pledged its interests in the guarantors as security for the borrower’s obligations under the Aggregation Facility. The related solar energy systems are not subject to any security interest of the lenders, and there is no recourse to the Company in the case of a default.
10
Prepayments are permitted under the Aggregation Facility, and the principal and accrued interest on any outstanding loans mature in March 2018. Interest accrues on borrowings at a floating rate equal to either (1)(a) the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or (b) the greatest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the administrative agent’s prime rate and (iii) LIBOR plus 1% and (2) a margin that varies between 3.25% during the period during which the Company may incur borrowings and 3.50% after such period. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period that the Company may elect as a term of either one, two or three months.
The Aggregation Facility includes customary covenants, including covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the borrower’s, and the guarantors’ ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, make fundamental changes to their business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments or enter into certain related party transactions. Among other restrictions, the Aggregation Facility provides that the borrower may not incur any indebtedness other than that related to the Aggregation Facility or in respect of permitted swap agreements, and that the guarantors may not incur any indebtedness other than that related to the Aggregation Facility or as permitted under existing investment fund transaction documents. These restrictions do not impact the Company’s ability to enter into investment funds, including those that are similar to those entered into previously. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.
The Aggregation Facility also contains certain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, lenders under the Aggregation Facility will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Aggregation Facility and foreclosure on the interests of the borrower and the guarantors that have been pledged to the lenders.
Interest expense for this facility was approximately $2.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Interest expense for this facility was approximately $7.0 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the current portion of deferred debt issuance costs of $3.0 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the long-term portion of deferred debt issuance costs of $4.4 million was recorded in other non-current assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, an interest reserve of $3.2 million was held in an account with the administrative agent and was included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. The interest reserve increases as borrowings increase under the Aggregation Facility.
Bank of America, N.A. Term Loan Credit Facility
In May 2014, the Company entered into a term loan credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $75.5 million with certain financial institutions for which Bank of America, N.A. acted as administrative agent. In September 2014 and in connection with the closing of the Aggregation Facility, the Company repaid the then outstanding $75.5 million in aggregate borrowings and terminated the agreement. There was no interest expense incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 under this agreement. Interest expense from inception of the Term Facility in May 2014 through payoff in September 2014 was approximately $1.3 million.
Revolving Lines of Credit—Related Party
On October 9, 2014, the Company repaid $58.8 million in aggregate borrowings and interest owed to Vivint under two loan agreements, which were terminated upon repayment. There was no interest expense incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 under these agreements. Interest expense was $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 under these agreements.

Residential Investment Funds
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had formed 16 residential investment funds. Fund investors for three of the funds are managed indirectly by The Blackstone Group L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and are considered related parties. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the cumulative total of contributions into the VIEs by all investors was $712.3 million and $480.2 million. Of these contributions, a cumulative total of $110.0 million was contributed by related parties in prior periods.
All residential investment funds except for one were operational as of September 30, 2015. The Company did not have any assets, liabilities or activity associated with that fund. Total available committed capital under that fund was $175.0 million as of September 30, 2015.
C&I Investment Fund
In May 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a C&I solar investment fund arrangement with a fund investor. The fund was not operational as of September 30, 2015, and as such, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities associated with the fund. The total available committed capital under the fund is $150.0 million, which is expected to be contributed through 2016.
Lease Pass-Through Financing Obligation
In the three months ended September 30, 2015, a new lease pass-through fund arrangement became operational under which the Company contributes solar energy systems and the investor contributes cash. Contemporaneously, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a master lease arrangement to lease the solar energy systems and the associated customer lease or power purchase agreements to the fund investor. The Company’s subsidiary makes a tax election to pass-through the investment tax credits (“ITCs”) that accrue to the solar energy systems to the fund investor, who as the legal lessee of the property is allowed to claim the ITCs under Section 50(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and the related regulations. The solar energy systems are included under solar energy systems, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and as of September 30, 2015, the net carrying value of the solar energy systems was $36.5 million.
12
Under the arrangement, the fund investor makes a large upfront payment to the Company’s subsidiary and subsequent periodic payments. The Company allocates a portion of the aggregate payments received from the fund investor to the estimated fair value of the assigned ITCs, and the balance to the future customer lease payments that are also assigned to the investor. The Company’s subsidiary has an obligation to ensure the solar energy system is in service and operational for a term of five years to avoid any recapture of the ITCs. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue as the recapture provisions lapse assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The amounts allocated to ITCs are initially recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and subsequently, one-fifth of the amounts allocated to ITCs is recognized as revenue from operating leases and solar energy systems incentives in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the anniversary of each solar energy system’s placed in service date over the next five years.
The Company accounts for the residual of the payments received from the fund investor, net of amounts allocated to ITCs, as a borrowing by recording the proceeds received as a lease pass-through financing obligation, which will be repaid through customer payments that will be received by the investor. Under this approach, the Company continues to account for the arrangement with the customers in its condensed consolidated financial statements, whether the cash generated from the customer arrangements is received by the lessor or paid directly to the fund investor. A portion of the amounts received by the fund investor from customer payments is applied to reduce the lease pass-through financing obligation, and the balance is allocated to interest expense. The customer payments are recognized into revenue based on cash receipts during the period as required by GAAP. Interest is calculated on the lease pass-through financing obligation using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of the cash amounts to be received by a fund investor over the master lease term with the present value of the cash amounts paid by the investor to the Company, adjusted for any payments made by the Company. The lease pass-through financing obligation is nonrecourse once the associated assets have been placed in service and all the customer arrangements have been assigned to the fund investor.
The fund investor is responsible for services such as warranty support, accounting, lease servicing and performance reporting, which have been outsourced to the Company under administrative and maintenance service agreements.
Guarantees
With respect to the investment funds, the Company and the fund investors have entered into guaranty agreements under which the Company guarantees the performance of certain obligations of its subsidiaries to the investment funds. These guarantees do not result in the Company being required to make payments to the fund investors unless such payments are mandated by the investment fund governing documents and the investment fund fails to make such payment. The Company is also contractually obligated to make certain VIE investors whole for losses that the investors may suffer in certain limited circumstances resulting from the disallowance or recapture of ITCs.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company accrued an estimated $4.0 million distribution to reimburse a fund investor a portion of its capital contribution in order to true-up the investor’s expected rate of return primarily due to a delay in solar energy systems being interconnected to the utility grid and other factors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company accrued an additional $1.0 million and paid the contractually agreed upon distribution of $5.0 million to the fund investor.
As a result of the guaranty arrangements in certain funds, the Company is required to hold minimum cash balances of $10.0 million and $5.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which are classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
