Overview

AlphaGeo’s Financial Impact Analytics model climate impacts on the key drivers of cashflow (including revenues, OpEx, CapEx) and asset value to enable more robust, future-ready financial modelling and planning.

Our approach: Beyond risk management to strategic finance

Most climate financial analytics focus on expected losses, using metrics like Climate Value-at-Risk (CVaR) or Average Annual Losses. While useful for risk management, they don’t capture climate’s impact on cashflows—critical for valuations, investments, and capital budgeting. Our Financial Impact Analytics fill this gap, delivering cashflow-based insights that plug directly into models like DCF to support strategic financial decisions.

Asset-level Metrics

AlphaGeo's Financial Impact Analytics module provides a transparent and explainable approach to climate-informed cashflow modelling, valuations, and underwriting.

Category	Metric	Description	Unit
Section 1 — Valuation	10-Year NPV Loss (CVaR)	Expected NPV loss under adverse but plausible climate scenarios (CVaR) over a 10-year hold.	% NPV loss
	Adaptation Alpha	Quantifies the projected NPV loss that is recoverable if targeted adaptation measures are implemented	% NPV recovered
	Average Annual Loss (AAL)	Aggregating all climate-driven OpEx, CapEx, and revenue impacts, the all-in annualized cost of climate exposure.	% loss/yr
	Climate Risk Discount	Additional discount rate to reflect future climate uncertainty based on the climate profile.	% rate added
Section 2 — Insurance	Insurance Premiums	Climate-driven net effect on insurance premiums through 2050 (driven by fire and flood risk).	Annual % change
	Insurability Risk	Risk of a location exceeding standard insurance market thresholds (99th percentile of today's global risk).	Insurable / High Risk
Section 3 — OpEx Costs	Utility Demand	Increase in cooling energy demand outpacing savings from reduced heating requirements.	Annual % change
	Maintenance Costs	Additional maintenance budget required due to changing climate conditions and extreme weather impacts.	Annual % change
Section 4 — Income	Operational Efficiency	Reduction in operational efficiency as climate conditions strain building systems.	Annual % change
	Operational Downtime	Additional downtime days per year due to extreme heat, precipitation, winds, and dry spells.	Days/yr
	Workforce Productivity	Decline in workforce output due to extreme heat reducing safe operating hours for outdoor/manual workers.	Annual % change
Section 5 — CapEx	Retrofit Costs	Recommended allocation of annual income to proactive climate retrofits to mitigate physical and stranding risk.	% of income

Portfolio-level Metrics

NPV Loss and Adaptation Alpha is also aggregated at the portfolio-level using a simple average. If asset values are provided by the user, we calculated a weighted average.
