Rhea-AI Summary

Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ: MAXN) reported its Q1 2024 financial results, revealing a revenue of $187 million, a significant drop from previous quarters. The company is facing challenges due to difficult market conditions, high interest rates, and policy changes.

Key strategic moves include securing $197.5 million in financing from its largest shareholder, TZE, and restructuring its convertible notes, which will result in significant shareholder dilution. The company also sold its stake in the HSPV joint venture for $34 million and made IP-licensing agreements for shingling technology.

Despite these efforts, Maxeon anticipates continued difficulties, with expected Q2 revenue between $160-$200 million and a fiscal year revenue forecast of $640-$800 million. The company is focused on restructuring and returning to profitability.

Positive
  • Secured $197.5 million in financing commitments from largest shareholder TZE.
  • Completed all deliveries to SunPower under the Settlement Agreement.
  • Added over 100 new partners to the U.S. Dealer channel.
  • Introduced 7th generation Performance Series module in Europe.
  • Sold stake in HSPV joint venture for $34 million.
  • Entered a new supply agreement with HSPV for international DG business.
  • Anticipated Q2 revenue between $160-$200 million.
  • Anticipated fiscal year revenue between $640-$800 million.
Negative
  • Q1 2024 revenue decreased to $187 million from previous quarters.
  • Increased product costs due to underutilized manufacturing operations.
  • Reported GAAP net loss of $80.1 million in Q1 2024.
  • Significant shareholder dilution due to financing and convertible note restructuring.
  • Ongoing price and demand headwinds in U.S. and Europe DG business.
  • GAAP operating expenses increased to $48.7 million in Q1 2024.
  • Non-GAAP gross loss of $12.9 million in Q1 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of -$39 million in Q1 2024.
  • Projected continued losses in Q2 2024 with adjusted EBITDA between -$51 million to -$31 million.

Insights

Maxeon's first quarter financial results reveal a challenging period, marked by a substantial drop in revenue to $187 million from $318 million year-over-year and continued losses. The GAAP net loss of $80.1 million is a significant deterioration compared to a net income of $20.3 million in Q1 2023. This trend is concerning for shareholders as it points to ongoing profitability issues.

The restructuring initiatives and financing commitments from TZE offer some relief. The $97.5 million debt investment and $100 million equity investment are important for immediate liquidity. However, the downside is the dilution of shares which could affect shareholder value. The exchange of $200 million convertible notes into new bonds due in 2028 may ease some debt burden but still reflects financial strain.

Maxeon’s guidance for Q2 2024, with revenue expectations between $160-$200 million and a potential gross loss of $20 million, suggests that recovery might be slow. For FY 2024, anticipated revenue of $640-$800 million indicates some optimism but the expected negative adjusted EBITDA up to $(160) million underlines persistent operational challenges.

The competitive landscape for solar technology is evolving and Maxeon's market position faces pressures. The introduction of the 7th generation Performance Series module and the focus on the TOPCon cell technology is a strategic move. However, the impact of higher interest rates and policy changes, which have led to disruptions in the DG business, indicates that external factors are unfavorably influencing demand.

The shift in focus to the U.S. market, especially in utility-scale projects, might leverage Maxeon's existing relationships and differentiated products. However, the ongoing patent infringement lawsuits against competitors could be a double-edged sword, potentially offering licensing revenue if successful but also diverting resources and attention.

Market dynamics are critical, with the solar industry known for fierce competition and high sensitivity to policy changes. Maxeon’s cautious optimism regarding trade policy trends reflects a market in flux. Investors should be aware that while strategic initiatives are in place, external factors present significant risks.

The legal implications of Maxeon's patent infringement lawsuits against competitors are noteworthy. These lawsuits could secure the company’s intellectual property rights over the TOPCon technology, potentially leading to licensing opportunities and additional revenue streams. However, legal battles are inherently unpredictable and could result in substantial legal expenses.

The recent sale of Maxeon's stake in the Huansheng Photovoltaic joint venture and the IP-license agreement for shingling technology is a strategic divestment. This generates immediate liquidity of $34 million but also indicates a strategic pivot to focus on core markets.

Investors should monitor the outcomes of these legal actions closely. Success in protecting intellectual property could bolster Maxeon's market position and revenue, whereas protracted legal disputes could exert further financial and operational strain.

--First Quarter Revenue of $187 Million--

--Financing Commitments Secured from Largest Shareholder--

SINGAPORE, May 30, 2024 /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 the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Maxeon's Chief Executive Officer Bill Mulligan noted, "Maxeon has been facing a very difficult market environment since the third quarter of last year, with challenging industry pricing conditions and demand disruptions in our DG business due to higher interest rates and policy changes, as well as project pushouts by two of our large-scale customers in the US. These external factors led to underutilized manufacturing operations, increased product costs, and lower revenue and profit than planned. While the Company is making progress on our announced restructuring initiatives and we are seeing some positive trends in the market, we determined that Maxeon requires additional capital to support its continuing operations. After conducting a thorough analysis with the help of financial advisors, management and the board determined that the most viable financing option to support our immediate liquidity needs was from our largest shareholder, TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co. Ltd. (TZE)."

"TZE has agreed to invest $97.5 million via a debt investment and has committed to an additional $100 million equity investment, in each case subject to regulatory approvals. In addition, substantially all of the holders of the $200 million 2025 convertible notes have agreed to exchange their bonds and accrued interest into new bonds due in 2028, which are convertible into equity at the noteholders' option starting July 2nd and $137.2 million of which must be converted into equity upon TZE's equity investment. We believe that these transactions are necessary to provide sufficient liquidity to enable the Company to return to profitability. These transactions, however, will result in substantial dilution to existing public shareholders, with TZE ultimately becoming a controlling shareholder, subject to regulatory approvals."

"Our distributed generation (DG) business faced ongoing price and demand headwinds in both the U.S. and Europe. Against this challenging industry backdrop we were able to execute on several key strategic initiatives, including completion of all deliveries to SunPower Corporation under the Settlement Agreement. In parallel, our new U.S. Dealer channel added more than 100 new partners with additions from many key installers that have been selling our product effectively for more than a decade. In Europe, the team successfully introduced our 7th generation Performance Series module which is our first product utilizing TOPCon cell technology."

"We recently sold our stake in the Huansheng Photovoltaic (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd (HSPV) joint venture, along with executing an IP-license for shingling technology for their use in utility-scale markets outside of the United States, for $34 million. In addition, we entered into a new supply agreement with HSPV for continued support of our international DG business. Going forward, our activities in utility-scale will be focused exclusively on the U.S. market, where our longstanding customer relationships, track record of execution, supply chain structure, differentiated products and leading sustainability profile makes us a supplier of choice for many developers. Our operations teams have been working hard to manage the effects of two significant customer project delays which led to reduced near-term manufacturing volumes and impacted our Q1 financial performance. While current pricing and demand conditions remain challenging, we are seeing some positive trade policy trends and we are cautiously optimistic that these could result in stronger pricing power, improved demand and incremental bookings. On the technology front, we're seeing competitors rapidly shift to TOPCon products which we believe infringe on U.S. intellectual property we developed over 15 years ago. We recently initiated patent infringement lawsuits against three competitors and we are in discussions with several other companies relating to potential TOPCon licensing opportunities."

"For the balance of 2024, the Company will be focused on rebuilding our balance sheet while undergoing further transformation to return the core business to profitability with reduced customer concentration risk."

For fiscal year 2024, the Company's annual guidance is below:

– Revenue to be within a range of $640 million to $800 million.

– Adjusted EBITDA to be within a range of $(160) million to $(110) million.

–  Capital expenditures(3) to be within a range of $70 million to $100 million.

(1)

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



(2)

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.



(3)

Capital expenditures are directed mainly to conversion of our legacy Maxeon 3 capacity in the Philippines to Maxeon 7 technology and equipment for manufacture of our Performance line products in Malaysia and Mexico. We are also investing in the development of our next generation Maxeon 8 technology, various programs to enhance our IT infrastructure and security, as well as to support our Beyond the Panel offering.

On April 8, 2024, the Company issued a press release and furnished a Report on Form 6-K announcing its preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Subsequent to the issuance of such preliminary financial information, the Company revised the presentation of gross loss, GAAP operating expenses, GAAP net loss attributable to the stockholders, non-GAAP gross loss, non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

  • Additional inventory reserve of $2.3 million to write down inventories to market value which affected gross loss, GAAP net loss attributable to the stockholders, non-GAAP gross loss and Adjusted EBITDA
  • Adjustment of estimate on employee compensation based on final payout which resulted in lower gross loss of $0.3 million, lower GAAP operating expenses of $0.5 million, lower GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $0.8 million, higher non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million
  • Adjustment of uncertain tax position which resulted in higher GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $0.5 million

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

We believe that non-GAAP gross (loss) profit, 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) profit, 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 (benefits). We incur restructuring charges, inventory impairment and other inventory related costs associated with the re-engineering of our IBC capacity, and fees related to reorganization plans and business acquisition aimed towards realigning resources consistent with our global strategy and improving its overall operating efficiency and cost structure. Restructuring charges and fees (benefits) 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 (benefits) 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 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 the mark-to-market adjustments from our Adjusted EBITDA as it is not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do the loss 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. As of April 26, 2024, we divested all of our equity interest in Huansheng JV.
