I agree with Brian (that the output is pretty clearly labeled),
but kcal/mol seems to be the (mostly) norm at all verbosities. For example,
from $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/test/antechamber/tp/sqm.out.save:

      iter sqm energy rms gradient
      ---- ------------------- -----------------------
xmin 10 25.8220 kcal/mol 1.4768 kcal/(mol*A)
xmin 20 25.6412 kcal/mol 0.0021 kcal/(mol*A)

...

 Final MO eigenvalues (eV):

....

 Heat of formation = 25.64120691 kcal/mol ( 1.11188617 eV)

 Total SCF energy = -24093.92306675 kcal/mol ( -1044.79090528 eV)
 Electronic energy = -97055.68784514 kcal/mol ( -4208.65044209 eV)
 Core-core repulsion = 72961.76477839 kcal/mol ( 3163.85953681 eV)

In fact, we'd need to know more details from the original poster about what
the confusion is. As Amber outputs go, the sqm output seems pretty clear.
