Insights

The preliminary Q3'24 results reveal significant challenges with $117.3 million in revenue accompanied by a substantial $42.0 million loss. The company's three divisions are all operating at losses, with the Dealer division showing the deepest loss at $22.2 million. The planned $25.8 million operating expense reduction and restructuring efforts signal aggressive cost-cutting measures to achieve breakeven in 2025.

The revenue forecast reduction from $117.3 million to $100 million for Q4'24 indicates potential business instability. The non-GAAP loss of $41.0 million versus GAAP loss of $64.1 million suggests significant stock-based compensation and restructuring charges affecting the bottom line. The upcoming headcount reduction and cost-cutting measures reflect a critical turning point for the company's survival strategy.

OREM, Utah, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Complete Solar Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Complete Solar (“Complete Solar” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CSLR), a solar technology, services, and installation company, today announced preliminary Q3’24 financial results of $117.3 million in revenue with a $42.0 million loss for the post-merger company combining CSLR and SunPower.

Complete Solar CEO, T.J. Rodgers said, “On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at our Orem, Utah HQ, we will present to over 1,000 employees the details of our Rev. 5 Annual Operating Plan for cutting headcount and other costs to achieve breakeven operating income in 2025. Since my style has always been to present and explain plans broadly to employees, I am releasing the headline information now to preempt any early dissemination of material non-public information prior to our formal November 13 report to shareholders, at which the final financial results will be presented for the old Complete Solar, which has already been merged into the Dealer Division of SunPower. We will also present the two-year “stub” financial results for the old SunPower divisions: New Homes, Blue Raven and Dealer:

Rodgers concluded, “Certain components of the Q3’24 results will not carry over directly into Q4’24, our first quarter after integration as “NewCo,” officially Nasdaq: CSLR. (We have won the right in court to use the SunPower brand in the future.) First, the $117.3 million Q3’24 revenue contains some revenues that will not repeat Q4’24. This is accounted for in our current formal Q3’24 revenue forecast of $100 million, as stated on the Complete Solar website. Second, we have already implemented a $25.8 million operating expense reduction in Q4’24. We will detail these efforts in our November 13 presentation to investors.”
