Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) reported challenging Q3 2024 results, significantly impacted by U.S. Customs detentions, factory shutdowns, and ongoing restructuring costs. Revenue dropped to $88.56 million, with shipments declining to 199 MW from 526 MW in Q2 2024. The company reported a net loss of $393.94 million.

Market conditions remained difficult with high-efficiency and mainstream crystalline module prices falling approximately 43.5% and 28.6% respectively since January 2024. The company is implementing strategic initiatives to focus exclusively on the U.S. market, where it plans to establish local manufacturing. Due to ongoing CBP detention uncertainties, Maxeon has suspended providing Q4 2024 financial guidance.

Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) ha riportato risultati deludenti per il terzo trimestre del 2024, notevolmente influenzati dalle trattenute della dogana statunitense, dalle chiusure degli stabilimenti e dai costi di ristrutturazione in corso. I ricavi sono scesi a 88,56 milioni di dollari, con le spedizioni in calo a 199 MW rispetto ai 526 MW del secondo trimestre del 2024. L'azienda ha registrato una perdita netta di 393,94 milioni di dollari.

Le condizioni di mercato sono rimaste difficili, con i prezzi dei moduli cristallini ad alta efficienza e mainstream che sono diminuiti rispettivamente di circa il 43,5% e il 28,6% rispetto a gennaio 2024. L'azienda sta implementando iniziative strategiche per concentrarsi esclusivamente sul mercato statunitense, dove intende stabilire una produzione locale. A causa delle incertezze relative alle trattenute da parte della CBP, Maxeon ha sospeso la fornitura delle previsioni finanziarie per il quarto trimestre del 2024.

Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) informó resultados desafiantes para el tercer trimestre de 2024, significativamente impactados por las detenciones de la aduana de EE. UU., los cierres de fábricas y los costos de reestructuración en curso. Los ingresos cayeron a 88,56 millones de dólares, con envíos disminuyendo a 199 MW desde 526 MW en el segundo trimestre de 2024. La compañía reportó una pérdida neta de 393,94 millones de dólares.

Las condiciones del mercado permanecieron difíciles, con los precios de los módulos cristalinos de alta eficiencia y convencionales cayendo aproximadamente un 43,5% y un 28,6% respectivamente desde enero de 2024. La empresa está implementando iniciativas estratégicas para enfocarse exclusivamente en el mercado de EE. UU., donde planea establecer fabricación local. Debido a las continuas incertidumbres de detención por parte de la CBP, Maxeon ha suspendido la provisión de orientación financiera para el cuarto trimestre de 2024.

맥세온 솔라 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:MAXN)은 2024년 3분기 실적이 도미니카 세관의 억제, 공장 폐쇄 및 지속적인 구조조정 비용의 영향으로 상당히 어려웠다고 보고했습니다. 매출은 8,856만 달러로 감소했으며, 출하량은 2024년 2분기 526MW에서 199MW로 줄었습니다. 회사는 3억 9,394만 달러의 순손실을 기록했습니다.

시장은 여전히 어려운 상황으로, 2024년 1월 이후 고효율 및 일반 결정 모듈 가격이 각각 약 43.5% 및 28.6% 하락했습니다. 회사는 미국 시장에 독점적으로 집중하기 위해 전략적 이니셔티브를 시행하고 있으며, 현지 생산 시설을 구축할 계획입니다. CBP 억제의 불확실성으로 인해 맥세온은 2024년 4분기 재무 가이드를 제공하는 것을 중단했습니다.

Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) a annoncé des résultats difficiles pour le troisième trimestre 2024, fortement impactés par les saisies douanières aux États-Unis, les fermetures d'usines et les coûts de restructuration en cours. Le chiffre d'affaires a chuté à 88,56 millions de dollars, avec des expéditions en baisse à 199 MW contre 526 MW au deuxième trimestre 2024. L'entreprise a enregistré une perte nette de 393,94 millions de dollars.

Les conditions du marché sont restées difficiles, les prix des modules cristallins haute efficacité et grand public ayant chuté d'environ 43,5% et 28,6% respectivement depuis janvier 2024. L'entreprise met en œuvre des initiatives stratégiques pour se concentrer exclusivement sur le marché américain, où elle envisage d'établir une production locale. En raison des incertitudes liées aux saisies douanières, Maxeon a suspendu la fourniture de prévisions financières pour le quatrième trimestre 2024.

Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) berichtete von herausfordernden Ergebnissen im 3. Quartal 2024, die erheblich durch US-Zollbeschlagnahmungen, Werksschließungen und laufende Restrukturierungskosten beeinflusst wurden. Der Umsatz fiel auf 88,56 Millionen Dollar, wobei die Auslieferungen von 526 MW im 2. Quartal 2024 auf 199 MW zurückgingen. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von 393,94 Millionen Dollar.

Die Marktbedingungen blieben schwierig, da die Preise für hocheffiziente und herkömmliche kristalline Module seit Januar 2024 um etwa 43,5% bzw. 28,6% gesunken sind. Das Unternehmen setzt strategische Initiativen um, um sich ausschließlich auf den US-Markt zu konzentrieren, wo es plant, eine lokale Produktion aufzubauen. Aufgrund der anhaltenden Unsicherheiten bei den CBP-Beschlagnahmungen hat Maxeon die Erlassung der finanziellen Prognosen für das 4. Quartal 2024 ausgesetzt.

Insights

Maxeon's Q3 results reveal severe operational challenges, with revenue plummeting to $88.56 million from $184.22 million in Q2. The dramatic decline in shipments to 199 MW from 526 MW reflects significant disruptions from CBP detentions. The company posted a staggering net loss of $393.94 million, exacerbated by a harsh 43.5% price drop in high-efficiency modules since January. The balance sheet pressure is evident, with substantial restructuring costs and write-offs. The suspension of financial guidance and conference calls signals deep uncertainty about near-term prospects. The strategic pivot to focus exclusively on U.S. operations, while potentially promising long-term, indicates a desperate need for immediate recapitalization and operational overhaul.

The global solar market dynamics are severely impacting Maxeon's business model. The 28.6% price decline in mainstream crystalline modules points to a systemic oversupply crisis. The company's strategic shift to the U.S. market comes amid challenging market conditions, suggesting a defensive posture rather than growth-driven expansion. The suspension of quarterly guidance reflects broader market uncertainties and internal restructuring challenges. The dramatic reduction in shipment volumes (down 68.3% from Q3 2023) indicates significant market share loss and operational disruptions that could take several quarters to resolve.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 5, 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 third quarter ended September 29, 2024.

Maxeon's Chief Executive Officer George Guo stated, "Third quarter results were distorted due to deliveries detained by the United States Customs and Border Protection ("CBP"), fixed costs associated with factory shutdowns and low production levels, and costs and write-offs from our ongoing restructuring. On top of this, we continue to observe depressed prices as a result of the global oversupply and intense competition. The average market price for high efficiency and mainstream crystalline modules like our IBC products and Performance line products has dropped by approximately 43.5% and 28.6%, respectively, since January 2024. We recently announced some of the key strategic initiatives undertaken to optimize Maxeon's business portfolio and geographic market focus. Moving forward, we intend to re-create Maxeon as a world leader in solar, focused exclusively in the United States where we believe our market presence and planned local manufacturing create a strong platform to drive growth and profitability in the future. We appreciate the support and patience of our investors as we translate our strategic thinking into concrete actions."

Maxeon's Chief Financial Officer Dmitri Hu added, "As we establish our new strategy to transform Maxeon, we are highly focused on our financial position. We intend to reserve sufficient liquidity for daily operations, while we recapitalize the company to fund our restructuring and growth. However, considering the continued uncertainties around CBP detentions, we are unable to provide financial guidance for fourth quarter of 2024. We will defer holding a conference call to discuss quarterly financial results, until the ongoing restructuring is complete and we can provide a more comprehensive view of our go-forward strategy."

(2)

Reflects the correction of an error in the gain on extinguishment of debt reported in our second quarter Form 6-K, filed with the SEC on September 3, 2024, due to incorrect valuation methodology and assumptions used on the ratio of warrants to number of shares. The revised gain on extinguishment of debt should be $35.3 million instead of the previously reported $77.3 million. In addition, $24.8 million of warrants were erroneously classified as equity that should have been classified as liabilities, as the fixed-for-fixed criteria was not met until the three months ended September 29, 2024.Consequently, interest expense, net should be $14.1 million instead of $10.1 million as reported previously. Total effect on net loss attributable to the stockholders is $45.9 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, provision for expected credit losses, restructuring charges and fees, remeasurement loss on prepaid forward, physical delivery forward and warrants, gain on extinguishment of debt and equity in income of unconsolidated investees and associated gains ("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, provision for expected credit losses 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
  • Provision for expected credit losses. This relates to the expected credit loss in relation to the financial assets under the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated November 8, 2019 (the "SDA") entered into with SunPower Corporation ("SunPower") in connection with the Company's spin-off from SunPower. Such loss is excluded from non-GAAP operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA as this relates to SunPower's business which Maxeon did not and will not have economic benefits to, as the Company's involvement is solely through SunPower's indemnification obligations set forth in the SDA. As such, management believes that this is not part of core operating activity and it is appropriate to exclude the provision for expected credit losses 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.
  • Restructuring charges and fees. 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 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.
  • Gain on extinguishment of debt. This relates to the gain that arose from the substantial modification in June 2024 of our Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") and First Lien Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2027. Gain 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 gain 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.
  • 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 2025 Notes 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.
  • Remeasurement loss (gain) on warrants. This relates to the mark-to-market fair value remeasurement of the exchange warrants and investor warrants. The transactions were entered into in connection with the exchange of 99.25% of the 2025 Notes with aggregate notional amount of $200 million and the 9.00% Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 of $97.5 million, both entered on June 20, 2024. The investor warrants were remeasured to fair value prior to them being exercised and were reclassified to equity, and will not be subsequently remeasured. The exchange warrants were remeasured to fair value on September 12, 2024, and were reclassified to equity after on such date, and will not be subsequently remeasured. The fair value of the warrants was primarily affected by the Company's share price. The remeasurement loss on warrants is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is not considered a core operating activity. 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 (income) losses of unconsolidated investees and related gains. This relates to the loss on our former unconsolidated equity investment Huansheng JV and gains on such investment on divestment. 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.

(*)

Reflects the correction of an error in the gain on extinguishment of debt reported in our second quarter Form 6-K, filed with the SEC on September 3, 2024, due to incorrect valuation methodology and assumptions used on the ratio of warrants to number of shares. The revised gain on extinguishment of debt should be $35.3 million instead of the previously reported $77.3 million. In addition, $24.8 million of warrants were erroneously classified as equity that should have been classified as liabilities, as the fixed-for-fixed criteria was not met until the three months ended September 29, 2024. Consequently, interest expense should be $14.6 million instead of $10.6 million as reported previously. Total effect on net loss attributable to the stockholders is $45.9 million.
