Safe Harbor Disclosure
This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate
strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve estimates, expectations, projections, goals, assumptions, known
and unknown risks, and uncertainties and typically include words or variations of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “objective,” “forecast,” “target,”
“potential,” “continue,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may” or other comparable terms and phrases. All statements that
address operating performance, events, or developments that TerraForm Global expects or anticipates will occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. They may include financial metrics such as estimates of expected adjusted EBITDA, cash available for
distribution (CAFD), earnings, revenues, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital structure, future growth, financing arrangement
and other financial performance items (including future dividends per share), descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for
future operations, products, or services, statements regarding the expected timing of the 2017 Annual Meeting, or descriptions of
assumptions underlying any of the above. Forward-looking statements are based on TerraForm Global’s current expectations or
predictions of future conditions, events, or results and speak only as of the date they are made. Although TerraForm Global
believes its respective expectations and assumptions are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations and
assumptions will prove to have been correct and actual results may vary materially.
By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, risks related to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement entered into with certain
affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and the consequences to the Company if the Brookfield Transaction is not
consummated, the settlement agreement entered into among the Company, SunEdison and certain of their respective affiliates to
resolve, among other things, the intercompany claims between the Company and SunEdison in the SunEdison bankruptcy, the SunEdison
bankruptcy, including our transition away from reliance on SunEdison for management, corporate and accounting services, employees,
critical systems and information technology infrastructure, and the operation, maintenance and asset management of our renewable
energy facilities; risks related to events of default and potential events of default arising under the indenture governing our
senior notes and/or project-level financing; risks related to failure to satisfy the requirements of Nasdaq, which could result in
the delisting of our common stock; risks related to delays in our filing of periodic reports with the SEC; risks related to
postponement of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for 2017; risks related to our potential execution of strategic
alternatives; pending and future litigation; our ability to integrate the projects we acquire from third parties or otherwise
realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions; the willingness and ability of counterparties to fulfill their obligations
under offtake agreements; price fluctuations, termination provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements; our ability to
successfully identify, evaluate, and consummate acquisitions; government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and
permit requirements and changes in market rules, rates, tariffs, environmental laws and policies affecting renewable energy;
operating and financial restrictions under agreements governing indebtedness; the condition of the debt and equity capital markets
and our ability to borrow additional funds and access capital markets, as well as our substantial indebtedness and the possibility
that we may incur additional indebtedness going forward; our ability to compete against traditional and renewable energy companies;
potential conflicts of interests or distraction due to the fact that several of our directors are also directors of TerraForm
Power, Inc. and most of our executive officers are also executive officers of TerraForm Power, Inc.; and hazards customary to the
power production industry and power generation operations, such as unusual weather conditions and outages; and our ability to
manage our capital expenditures, economic, social and political risks and uncertainties inherent in international operations,
including operations in emerging markets and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls
and restrictions on repatriation of earnings and cash, protectionist and other adverse public policies, including local content
requirements, import/export tariffs, increased regulations or capital investment requirements, conflicting international business
practices that may conflict with other customs or legal requirements to which we are subject, inability to obtain, maintain or
enforce intellectual property rights, and being subject to the jurisdiction of courts other than those of the United States,
including uncertainty of judicial processes and difficulty enforcing contractual agreements or judgments in foreign legal systems
or incurring additional costs to do so. Many of these factors are beyond TerraForm Global’s control.
TerraForm Global disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in
underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data, or methods, future events, or other changes, except as
required by law. The foregoing list of factors that might cause results to differ materially from those contemplated in the
forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties which are
described in TerraForm Global’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as well as additional factors it may
describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should understand that it is not
possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of
all potential risks or uncertainties.
Adjusted Revenue
Adjusted Revenue is a supplemental non-GAAP measure used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain
aspects of our consolidating operating budget. We believe Adjusted Revenue is useful to investors in evaluating our operating
performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which eliminates the impact on net income of certain unusual or
non-recurring items and other factors that we do not consider representative of our core business or future operating performance.
This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of
performance, including net income. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future
results will be unaffected by non-operating, unusual or non-recurring items.
Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD)
CAFD is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our ability to earn and distribute cash to investors. This measurement is not
recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance, including net
income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor
is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

Reconciliation of Operating Revenues to Adjusted Revenue (in thousands)
Adjusted Revenue
We define Adjusted Revenue as operating revenues, net adjusted for non-cash items including unrealized gain/loss on derivatives,
amortization of favorable and unfavorable revenue contracts and other non-cash items. We believe Adjusted Revenue is useful to
investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as
a measure of financial performance. Adjusted Revenue is a non-GAAP measure used by our management for internal planning purposes,
including for certain aspects of our consolidating operating budget.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Available for Distribution (in
thousands)
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other
interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities. In addition, Adjusted
EBITDA is used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidated operating
budget.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation, accretion and amortization, non-cash affiliate general and
administrative costs, acquisition related expenses, interest expense, gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, foreign currency gains
(losses), income tax (benefit) expense and stock compensation expense, and certain other non-cash charges, unusual, non-operating
or non-recurring items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating
performance. Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other
companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
Cash Available for Distribution
We believe cash available for distribution is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities
analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance. In addition, cash available for
distribution is used by our management team for internal planning purposes.
We define “cash available for distribution” or “CAFD” as adjusted EBITDA of TerraForm Global, LLC as adjusted for certain cash
flow items that we associate with our operations. Cash available for distribution represents adjusted EBITDA (i) minus deposits
into (or plus withdrawals from) restricted cash accounts required by project financing arrangements to the extent they decrease (or
increase) cash provided by operating activities, (ii) minus cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our renewable
energy facilities, if any, (iii) minus scheduled project-level and other debt service payments and repayments in accordance with

b) In conjunction with the closing of the IPO in August 5, 2015, we entered into the MSA with SunEdison, pursuant to
which SunEdison agreed to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administrative
services to us. No cash consideration was paid to SunEdison for these services for the 3 months ended March 31, 2017 or 3 months
ended March 31, 2016 and amount of general and administrative expense-affiliate in excess of the fees paid
to SunEdison is treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition,
non-operating items and other items incurred directly by TerraForm GLBL that we do not consider indicative of our core
business operations will be treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. The
Company’s normal operating general and administrative expenses, not paid by SunEdison, $8.9M for the 3 months ended March 31,
2017 and $1.3M for the 3 months ended March 31, 2016 are not added back in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted
EBITDA.
c) Represents transaction related costs, including affiliate acquisition costs, associated with the acquisitions completed
during the 3 months ended March 31, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015 since such costs are considered to be paid for with
financing sources. Additionally, includes formation and offering related fees and expenses and formation and offering related fees
and expenses – affiliate reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. These fees consist of professional fees for legal,
tax, and accounting services related to our IPO.
d) Includes settled and unsettled gains and losses on foreign currency hedges related to operating and investing
activities. The net loss relates primarily to losses on foreign currency hedges of certain planned acquisitions, and is
partially offset by gains on foreign currency hedges associated with operations.
e) Other charges and or non-operating items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating
performance. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2017, includes $0.2M PP&E replacement value write-off (CAFD impact recorded in
actual and or expected to be recorded in non-expansionary capital expenditures).
f) Pursuant to TerraForm Global's second supplemental indenture relating to GLBL's 9.75% Senior Notes due 2022, completed on
September 2, 2016, the company was required to pay a special interest on the notes beginning on September 6, 2016 to December 6,
2016 at a rate equal to 4.00% per annum or $7.7M for the specified period, due and payable at the next scheduled Senior Notes
interest payment cycle in February 2017. The interest payment amounts for the 3 months ended March 31, 2017 excludes this $7.7M
special interest, which we do not consider indicative of our core business operations.
g) Net change in restricted cash excludes impact of any foreign currency appreciation or depreciation during the period in
2016.
h) Items include economic ownership in certain acquired operating assets, which accrued to TerraForm Global, Inc. prior to each
acquisition close date. For the 3 months ended March 31, 2016, $3.5M related to our acquisition of wind plants from Renova for the
period May 1, 2015 to September 18, 2015.
i) For the 3 months ended March 31, 2017, includes $1.7M escrow release from Brazil, net interest income $1.1M and net
withholding tax/other ($0.4M). For the 3 months ended March 31, 2016, includes net interest income $2.2M and net withholding
tax/other ($0.6M).
