Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Members

CPV Maryland, LLC:

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the financial statements of CPV Maryland, LLC (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

 

KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership, and its subsidiaries are part of

the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG

International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

 

  

 

 

 

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

CPV MARYLAND, LLC

(A Delaware Limited Liability Company) 

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

CPV Maryland, LLC (Maryland or the Company), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in May 2007. The purpose of Maryland is to develop, construct, own, operate, and manage a nominal 745-megawatt (MW) natural-gas-fired power plant situated in Charles County, Maryland (the Facility or Project). The Facility was completed and commenced operations on February 14, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company was owned by four entities: CPV Maryland Holding Company, LLC 25%, MC St. Charles, LLC 25%, Toyota Tsusho St. Charles, LLC 25%, and OG St. Charles, LLC 25%.

 

On October 11, 2024 CPV Maryland Holding Company, LLC acquired MC St. Charles, LLC’s 25% ownership stake in the Company. On December 12, 2024, CPV Maryland Holding Company, LLC acquired Toyota Tsusho St. Charles, LLC’s 25% stake in the Company.

 

As of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company was owned by two entities: CPV Maryland Holding Company, LLC 75% and OG St. Charles, LLC 25%.

 

(a) Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP applied by nongovernmental entities.

 

(b) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions based on management’s knowledge and experience. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. The most significant use of estimates and assumptions relates to the valuation of derivative instruments. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

 

(c) Risks and Uncertainties

 

As with any power generation facility, operation of the Facility involves risk, including the performance of the Facility below expected levels of efficiency and output, shutdowns due to the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes, violations of permit requirements, operator error, labor disputes, or catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, floods, explosions, pandemics, or other similar occurrences affecting a power generation facility or its power purchasers. In addition, the Facility operates as a merchant plant and is impacted by changes in regional natural gas and power market conditions, as well as changes in the rules and regulations governing these markets. The occurrence of any of these events could significantly reduce or eliminate revenue generated by the Company or significantly increase the expenses of the Company, and adversely impact the Company’s ability to make payments on its debt when due.

 

(d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities equals or approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. Cash accounts are generally maintained in federally insured banks but may at times have balances in accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The fair value of the long-term debt approximates its book value at December 31, 2025 and 2024 as the interest rates are variable (note 4).

Notes to Financial Statements

(e) Cash

 

Cash is comprised of highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

 

(f) Restricted Cash and Cash Collateral - Letters of Credit

 

Restricted cash and cash collateral – letters of credit consists of cash and cash equivalents that comprise highly liquid investments. Such amounts are restricted under the terms of the Company’s current debt agreement. Restricted cash accounts include, but are not limited to, an operating account, letter of credit revolver account, and a revenue account. All such accounts are held, and maintained, by an agent. The Company’s classification of restricted cash is based on the classification of its intended use. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $4.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, pertaining to operating activities classified as a current asset; and $21.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively, of Cash collateral - letters of credit on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Restricted cash, and cash collateral - letters of credit total $26.0 million and $29.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

(g) Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

 

The Company accounts for its revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).Revenue is earned from the Company’s generation facilities providing capacity and ancillary services to its customer, the independent system operator PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), and from the production and sale of electricity from the Company’s generation facilities. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s contracts to provide capacity each have one performance obligation and result from auctions held by PJM to procure capacity in advance of when the capacity is expected to be needed and thus to be provided. The Company’s contracts to provide electricity and ancillary services have one performance obligation. Capacity revenues and proceeds for electricity, delivered to customers, are classified as Operating revenue on the accompanying statements operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenue for ancillary services is classified as Other revenue on the accompanying statements operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

In December 2022, Winter Storm Elliott brought severe cold weather, high winds, and some snow throughout most of the US causing energy demands to rise rapidly. PJM experienced shortage conditions and declared Performance Assessment Intervals. The Company recognized a $16.6 million capacity penalty for underperformance during this period. In December 2023, the Company recorded a reduction to the capacity penalty of $4.1 million based on the PJM settlement agreement issued on December 19, 2023, which reduced the penalties/bonuses for all affected facilities by 31.7%. This amount was settled in March 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

The performance obligations are satisfied over time and use the same method to measure progress, so they meet the criteria to be considered a series. In measuring progress towards satisfaction of each performance obligation, the Company applies the “right-to-invoice” practical expedient and recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to consideration from a customer that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed to date. As such, revenue is recognized using an output method, as energy and capacity delivered best depicts the transfer of goods or services to the customer. Performance obligations including energy or ancillary services (such as operations and maintenance and dispatch services) are generally measured by the MWh delivered. Capacity, which is a stand-ready obligation to deliver energy when required by the customer, is measured using MWs. In certain contracts, if plant availability exceeds a contractual target, the Company may receive a performance bonus payment, or if the plant availability falls below a guaranteed minimum target, it may incur a nonavailability penalty. Such bonuses or penalties represent a form of variable consideration and are estimated and recognized when it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal. The Company used the most likely value method to estimate variable consideration as it was considered to better predict the amount to which the Company will be entitled given the large number of possible outcomes. The Company periodically reviews this method and its assumptions.

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration and consist of both billed amounts and unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. The Company bills its generation and utilities customer on a contractually agreed-upon schedule, typically at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly). Accounts receivable were $8.1 million and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company periodically assesses the collectability of accounts receivable, considering factors such as specific evaluation of collectability, historical collection experience, the age of accounts receivable and other currently available evidence of the collectability, and records an allowance for doubtful accounts for the estimated uncollectible amount as appropriate. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recognized as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

(h) Prepaid Expenses

 

The Company has current prepaid expenses related to operating activities, which consist of insurance premiums, property taxes, bank fees, and other miscellaneous fees totaling $3.0 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

(i) Property, Plant, and Equipment and Depreciation Expense

 

The Company’s property, plant, and equipment are recorded based on historical cost and primarily comprised of power generation facility assets and the cost of acquired land. In cases where the Company is required to dismantle installations or to recondition the site on which they are located, the estimated cost of removal or reconditioning is recorded as an asset retirement obligation and an equal amount is added to the carrying amount of the asset. Depreciation, after consideration of salvage value and asset retirement obligations, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, commencing when assets, or major components thereof, are either placed in service or acquired (note 2). Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(j) Spare Parts Inventory

 

Spare parts inventory primarily consists of spare parts and supplies used to maintain the power generation facility. Spare parts inventory is carried at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is the sum of the purchase price and incidental expenditures and charges incurred to bring the inventory to its existing condition or location. Costs of spare parts are valued primarily using the average cost method. Generally, cost is reduced to net realizable value if the net realizable value of inventory has declined and it is probable that the utility of inventory, in its disposal in the ordinary course of business, will not be recovered through revenue earned from the generation of power. The Company’s Spare parts inventory balance was $6.6 million and $5.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

(k) Emissions Inventory

 

The Company was subject to the Clean Generation Set Aside regulation under the Maryland Department of the Environment through December 31, 2022. Based on the Facility’s electric generation technology, the Company was eligible to receive an allocation of allowances based upon its actual emissions. As of January 1, 2023, the Company is required to obtain all of its required emission allowances through The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative quarterly auctions and/or through bilateral trades, as applicable.

 

Emission allowances are held for use by the Company and are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s emission inventory totaled $2.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively, and is classified as Emissions inventory on accompanying balance sheets.

 

(l) Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Factors that could indicate impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical and projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner or use of acquired assets, or the strategy of the Company’s overall business, including significant negative industry and economic trends. If an indicator of impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the Company’s long-lived assets would be considered impaired when their anticipated undiscounted cash flows are less than their carrying value. Impairment is measured as the difference between the assets’ estimated fair value and its carrying amount.

 

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on its long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

 

(m) Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Others (ASC 350). ASC 350 requires that intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives no longer be amortized but instead be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur that indicate impairment might have occurred.

 

ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Separable intangible assets that are deemed to have finite lives will continue to be amortized using the straight-line method over their estimable useful lives (note 3).

(n) Deferred Financing Costs

 

The Company capitalized direct costs associated with its financings. Direct costs incurred with obtaining debt are amortized under the interest method over the term of the related debt. There were $0.4 million of deferred financing costs incurred in both 2025 and 2024. There were no deferred financing costs incurred in 2023. Amortization of the deferred financing costs totaled $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are classified as Interest income (expense), net on the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

(o) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to market risks from changing interest rates, forward purchases and sales of commodities, and other derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to market fluctuations of energy and natural gas prices. The Company recognizes all contracts that meet the definition of a derivative as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets and measures those derivatives at fair value under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. On the date a derivative is entered into, the Company may designate hedging relationships if certain criteria in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), are met; otherwise, the derivative is marked to market in the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

For derivatives designated as a hedge, such as the Company’s interest rate swaps, forward purchases and sales of commodities, and other derivative instruments used to reduce its exposure to market fluctuations of energy and natural gas prices, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets or to forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items.

 

When it is determined that a derivative has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. This could occur when: (1) it is determined that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (3) the derivative is discontinued as a hedging instrument, because it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge of cash flows, the derivative will continue to be carried at fair value on the accompanying balance sheets and the gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income or loss (OCI) are recognized immediately or over the remaining term of the forecasted transaction in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are either recognized in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) or the accompanying statements of changes in members’ equity as a component of accumulated OCI, depending upon their use and designation. Gains and losses related to transactions that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in accumulated OCI and flow through the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the hedged item affects earnings. Otherwise, any gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of the contracts are recorded in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the current period.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

 

(p) Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable, which are concentrated within the energy industry and derivative financial instruments with large creditworthy financial institutions. These industry concentrations may impact the Company’s overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. Receivables and other contractual arrangements are subject to collateral requirements under the terms of enabling agreements. However, the Company believes that the credit risk posed by industry concentration is offset by the diversification and creditworthiness of the Company’s customer base and its contractual collateral requirements.

 

(q) Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is a party to claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company records a loss contingency in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management assesses each matter and determines the likelihood a loss has been incurred and the amount of such loss if it can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews such matters on an ongoing basis. Contingencies are evaluated based on estimates and judgments made by management with respect to the likely outcome of such matters. Management’s estimates could change based on new information.

 

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 460, Guarantees (ASC 460), for disclosing and accounting for guarantees and indemnifications entered into during the course of business. When a guarantee or indemnification subject to ASC 460 is entered into, the estimated fair value of the guarantee or indemnification is assessed. Some guarantees and indemnifications could have a financial impact under certain circumstances. Management considers the probability of such circumstances occurring when estimating fair value.

 

(r) Income Taxes

 

The Company is organized as a limited liability company and is classified and treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. No provision for the payment of federal and state income taxes has been provided since the Company is not subject to income tax. Each member is responsible for reporting income or loss based on such member’s respective share of the Company’s income and expenses as reported for income tax purposes. As such, no income tax expense or benefit has been recorded within these financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

 

(s) Membership Interests

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of CPV Maryland, LLC, as amended, profits, losses, and distributions of net cash flows are allocated in proportion to each member’s respective ownership interest with certain exceptions. Distributions are first treated as a return of capital until members have received a return of all capital invested. The Company is managed by its board of managers. As a limited liability company, the liability of each member is limited to (i) any unpaid capital contributions, (ii) the amount of any distributions required to be returned in accordance with the agreement, and (iii) any amount the member is required to pay pursuant to the agreement.

(u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Adopted)

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) that provides for a new Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) impairment model for specified financial instruments including loans, trade receivables, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity investments and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. Under the new guidance, on initial recognition and at each reporting period, an entity is required to recognize an allowance that reflects the entity’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The standard does not make changes to the existing impairment models for non-financial assets such as fixed assets, intangibles and goodwill. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which adjusts effective date of this standard to January 1, 2023. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. There was no material impact to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

c. Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company records the fair value of all derivatives as assets and liabilities. In determining fair value, the Company generally uses the income approach and incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable internally developed inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified depending on how readily observable the inputs used in the valuation techniques are, as follows:

 

Level 1 Represents unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. This category includes energy derivative instruments that are exchange traded or that are cleared and settled through the exchange.
   
Level 2 Represents quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or other valuations based on inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. This category includes the Company’s interest rate swaps and energy derivatives.
   
Level 3 This category includes energy derivative instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models and methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources (such as market heat rates, implied volatilities, and correlations). Over the counter, complex, or structured derivative instruments that are transacted in less liquid markets with limited pricing information would be included in Level 3.

 

d. Valuation Techniques

 

The fair value measurement accounting guidance describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach, (2) income approach, and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on current market expectations of the return on those future amounts.

 

The Company measures its interest rate swap, energy, and other derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of the interest rate swap and energy derivatives are determined using the income approach by a third-party treasury and risk management service. The service utilizes a standard model and observable inputs to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The Company performs analytical procedures and makes comparisons to other third-party information in order to assess the reasonableness of the fair value. The Company maintains controls over the model and its methodology and performs analytical procedures and makes comparisons to third-party information when available in order to assess the reasonableness of the fair value.
