Net income per diluted share was $0.19, and non-GAAP EPS was $0.18 compared to $0.23 in the previous year’s quarter. Revenues were up slightly at $212.0 million, compared to $205.4 million last year.
The stock market responded to the report with a 10.7% drop in stock price in early trading Tuesday rebounded by 10:40 a.m. to a 2.1% price decline to $14.85 per share on the New York Stock Exchange.
Ameresco President and CEO George Sakellaris said the third quarter results reflect the ongoing strategy of 2019 to be a growth year for the company.
