Maxeon Solar Technologies Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

–Record Gross Profit of $20 million in fourth quarter of 2022–

–Guiding Positive Adj. EBITDA in first quarter of 2023–

SINGAPORE, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAXN) (“Maxeon” or “the Company”), a global leader in solar innovation and channels, today announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

Maxeon’s Chief Executive Officer Bill Mulligan noted, “After more than two years of investment in significant transformation initiatives, Maxeon’s financial performance is improving rapidly. The Company’s gross profit increased to $20 million in the fourth quarter due to strong operational performance and prudent supply chain management, a record for Maxeon. Next quarter, Maxeon projects further progress leading to positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time since our spin-out. This continued margin improvement is attributable to strong execution by both our manufacturing and sales teams. In our distributed generation (DG) business, pricing is benefiting from continued strength in our European channel with increasing attach rates for Beyond the Panel products, and also in the United States (US) with strong demand from both SunPower as well as through our new Maxeon installer channel which kicked off in January. Our US DG partners indicate significant year-over-year growth for us in 2023, which we attribute in part to our products’ popularity in high-cost-of-power markets and sales professionals skilled at selling long-term value.”

Mulligan continued “The US utility-scale business is poised for further growth with cumulative bookings now 4.2 gigawatts extending deep into 2025 plus options with advance deposits for an additional 1.5 gigawatts through 2027. Our first 1.8GW of Performance Line manufacturing capacity is on track to reach full output later this year. With the majority of the ramp already completed, we expect improving COGS to drive positive adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter.”

		Three Months Ended			Fiscal Year Ended
(In thousands)	Financial statements item affected	January 1, 2023	October 2, 2022	January 2, 2022	January 1, 2023	January 2, 2022
Incremental cost of above market polysilicon⁽¹⁾	Cost of revenue	30	603	11,542	11,329	47,188
Loss on ancillary sales of excess polysilicon⁽²⁾	Cost of revenue	—	—	2,621	8,328	14,264


⁽¹⁾	Relates to the difference between our contractual cost for the polysilicon under the long-term fixed supply agreements with our supplier and the price of polysilicon available in the market as derived from publicly available information at the beginning of each quarter, multiplied by the volume of modules sold within the quarter.

⁽²⁾	In order to reduce inventory and improve working capital, we had periodically elected to sell polysilicon inventory procured under the long-term fixed supply agreements in the market at prices below our purchase price, thereby incurring a loss.

Fiscal Year 2023 and First Quarter 2023 Outlook

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company anticipates the following results:

(In millions, except shipments)	Outlook
Shipments, in MW	730 – 770 MW
Revenue	$305 – $345
Gross profit	$29 – $39
Non-GAAP gross profit⁽¹⁾	$30 – $40
Operating expenses	$41 ± $2
Non-GAAP operating expenses⁽²⁾	$37 ± $2
Adjusted EBITDA⁽³⁾	$10 – $20
Capital expenditures⁽⁴⁾	$13 – $17

For fiscal year 2023, the Company anticipates the following results:

Revenue to be within a range of $1,350 million to $1,550 million.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽³⁾ to be within a range of $80 million to $100 million.
Capital expenditures⁽⁴⁾ to be within a range of $100 million to $120 million.

⁽¹⁾	The Company’s Non-GAAP gross profit is impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense.

⁽²⁾	The Company’s Non-GAAP operating expenses are impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges and fees.

⁽³⁾	The Company cannot provide a reconciliation between its Adjusted EBITDA projection and the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of the remeasurement gain or loss of the prepaid forward and the equity in income or losses of our unconsolidated investee.

⁽⁴⁾	The capital expenditures mainly relate to preparation for capacity expansion for our Maxeon 7 technology, completion of manufacturing capacity for Performance line panels to be sold in the U.S. market, completion of manufacturing capacity for our Maxeon 6 product platform, further developing Maxeon 7 technology and operating a pilot line, as well as various corporate initiatives. The above excludes capital expenditures in connection to the investment plan to deploy a multi-GW factory in the United States to manufacture solar products for both the DG and utility-scale power plant markets.

These anticipated results for fiscal year 2023 and the first quarter of 2023 are preliminary, unaudited and represent the most current information available to management. The Company’s business outlook is based on management’s current views and estimates with respect to market conditions, production capacity, the uncertainty of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, and the global economic environment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and fees, remeasurement loss (gain) on prepaid forward and physical delivery forward, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment, equity in losses of unconsolidated investees and related gains and loss related to settlement of price escalation dispute (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to supplement our consolidated and combined financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit (loss) is defined as gross profit (loss) excluding stock-based compensation and loss related to settlement of price escalation dispute. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and restructuring charges and fees.

We believe that non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of the Company’s ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of our continuing operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We believe these measures are useful to help enhance the comparability of our results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis and with our competitors, distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with the Company’s core operations as presented above. We also use these non-GAAP measures internally to assess our business, financial performance and current and historical results, as well as for strategic decision-making and forecasting future results. Given our use of non-GAAP measures, we believe that these measures may be important to investors in understanding our operating results as seen through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP measures are neither prepared in accordance with GAAP nor are they intended to be a replacement for GAAP financial data, should be reviewed together with GAAP measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items in arriving to the non-GAAP measures:

Stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation relates primarily to equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict and is excluded from non-GAAP gross loss, non-GAAP operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that this adjustment for stock-based compensation expense provides investors with a basis to measure our core performance, including the ability to compare our performance with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by stock-based compensation.
Restructuring charges and fees. We incur restructuring charges and fees related to reorganization plans aimed towards realigning resources consistent with our global strategy and improving its overall operating efficiency and cost structure. Restructuring charges and fees are excluded from non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA because they are not considered core operating activities. Although we have engaged in restructuring activities and initiatives, past activities have been discrete events based on unique sets of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges and fees from our non-GAAP financial measures as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do these charges contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
Remeasurement loss (gain) on prepaid forward and physical delivery forward. This relates to the mark-to-market fair value remeasurement of privately negotiated prepaid forward and physical delivery transactions. The transactions were entered into in connection with the issuance on July 17, 2020 of the 6.50% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. The prepaid forward is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value booked in earnings. The fair value of the prepaid forward is primarily affected by the Company’s share price. The physical delivery forward was remeasured to fair value at the end of the Note Valuation Period on September 29, 2020, and was reclassified to equity after remeasurement, and will not be subsequently remeasured. The fair value of the physical delivery forward was primarily affected by the Company’s share price. The remeasurement loss (gain) on prepaid forward and physical delivery forward is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is not considered core operating activities. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude these mark-to-market adjustments from our Adjusted EBITDA as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do the loss (gain) contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. This relates to the loss that arose from the termination of our $50.0 million working capital facility in September 2021 and the expiration of the availability period for draw down of our $75.0 million term loans in August 2021. Loss on debt extinguishment is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is not considered part of core operating activities. Such activities are discrete events based on unique sets of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the loss on extinguishment of debt from our non-GAAP financial measures as it is not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do these charges contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
Impairment. This relates to the impairment of assets recorded by our equity method investee, Huansheng JV. Asset impairment is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure as it is non-cash in nature and not reflective of ongoing operating results. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude such charges as they do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
Equity in losses of unconsolidated investees and related gains. This relates to the loss on our unconsolidated equity investment Huansheng JV and gains on such investment. This is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure as it is non-cash in nature and not reflective of our core operational performance. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude such charges as they do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our performance.
Loss related to settlement of price escalation dispute. This relates to loss arising from the settlement of price escalation dispute with a polysilicon supplier related to our long-term, firm commitment polysilicon supply agreement. This is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure as it is non-recurring and not reflective of ongoing operating results. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude such charges as the loss does not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
