Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

iSun reported fourth quarter 2021 revenue of $27 million representing a $17.7 million or 190% increase over the same period in the prior year. iSun reported full year 2021 revenue of $45.2 million, a $24.3 million or 115% increase over 2020. Revenue growth was driven by the continued execution of iSun’s Commercial and Industrial project backlog, the addition of a new Professional Services revenue stream and continued deployment of iSun’s EV Infrastructure.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $5.6 million compared to $1.8 million during the fourth quarter in the prior year, an increase of 214%. Gross margins for the fourth quarter were 21%, compared to 19.1% during the same period in the prior year. Gross profit for the year was $4.6 million, representing a $3.8 million or 214% increase over 2020. Gross Margin improvements were attributed to iSun’s diversification into new solar segments and services, and improved operating efficiencies.

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021 was a loss of $0.5 million. When adjusted for one-time expenses related to M&A transactions, adjusted EBITDA was $0.9 million.

Total assets increased on December 31, 2021, to $103.7 million from $19.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increase is attributable to numerous strategic investments made throughout 2021 as well as the four acquisitions completed during 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to net loss in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other expenses, certain legal services costs, professional and consulting fees and expenses, and one-time Reverse Merger and Recapitalization expenses and certain adjustments. We believe that these non-GAAP measures illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures, particularly Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our performance would have material limitations because such calculations are based on a subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. We compensate for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our operating results. Although other companies may report measures entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar in nature, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s Adjusted EBITDA or similar measures. As a result, the methods that we use to calculate Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are shown in the table below:
