Insights

Spruce Power's Q4 2024 results paint a mixed financial picture with strategic growth offset by ongoing profitability challenges. The $20.2 million quarterly revenue represents a 29% year-over-year increase, driven primarily by the NJR acquisition that added approximately 9,800 solar assets, expanding their portfolio to 85,000 systems.

While Operating EBITDA reached $10.8 million, the company still posted a $5.9 million net loss. Their liquidity position remains adequate with $72.8 million in unrestricted cash, though total cash declined significantly from $172.9 million in 2023 to $109.1 million, primarily due to acquisition costs and increased operating expenses.

The $730.6 million debt load (at 6.0% blended interest rate) warrants attention, though its non-recourse nature mitigates corporate-level risk. The Gross Portfolio Value of $910 million provides substantial asset backing.

Spruce's business model, focused on generating predictable cash flows from existing assets rather than depending on new installations, offers stability in the volatile residential solar market. The launch of Spruce Pro and securing a 60,000-system servicing agreement with ADT opens a promising revenue diversification channel, while improved customer satisfaction (83% from 74%) indicates strengthening operational execution.

Spruce Power's Q4 results highlight a strategic positioning that differentiates it from most residential solar competitors. Unlike installation-dependent companies, Spruce has established itself as an asset owner-operator focused on extracting value from existing solar systems through operational improvements and portfolio expansion.

The acquisition of 9,800 home solar assets from NJR Clean Energy Ventures represents meaningful scale growth, increasing their asset base by approximately 15%. More notably, their entry into third-party servicing through the Spruce Pro business line and contract with ADT for 60,000 systems creates a capital-light growth avenue that leverages their operational expertise without requiring significant asset purchases.

The increased customer satisfaction score (to 83% from 74%) is particularly significant in the residential solar sector, where customer experience often suffers at scale. This improvement suggests their operational focus is yielding tangible results.

Their portfolio generated approximately 515,000 MWh in 2024, creating a substantial environmental impact. With an average remaining contract life of 11 years, Spruce has visibility into long-term cash flows, though their financial structure requires careful management given the high debt-to-portfolio value ratio. The stated focus on improving operating efficiency could be critical to achieving the promised margin expansion needed to accelerate the path to profitability.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Spruce Power Holding Corporation (NYSE: SPRU) (“Spruce” or the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of distributed solar energy assets across the United States, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

Business Highlights

  • Reported 4Q revenues of $20.2 million, net loss attributable to stockholders of $5.9 million and Operating EBITDA of $10.8 million
  • Ended quarter with liquidity position of $72.8 million in unrestricted cash to support future growth and current operations
  • Added approximately 9,800 home solar assets and customer contracts in 2024 via NJR Clean Energy Ventures, a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources Corporation (NYSE: NJR), for nearly 15% year-on-year growth, to reach approximately 85,000 home solar assets and contracts
  • Signed first customer agreement for Spruce Pro business with ADT to service a third party portfolio of approximately 60,000 residential solar systems
  • Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score rose to 83% in 2024 from 74% in 2023

Management Commentary and Outlook

"In this time of heightened uncertainty across the residential solar market, Spruce offers investors greater stability and predictability given that our business is predicated on generating long-term contracted cash flows from existing solar assets through operational efficiencies, maintenance and superior asset management," said Chris Hayes, Spruce's Chief Executive Officer. "Unlike many of our peers, we are not dependent on continuous growth in new solar installations, externally financed working capital or government support."

Hayes continued, "Spruce demonstrated important progress in 2024, driven by a targeted acquisition of residential solar systems in New Jersey and the successful launch of our third-party servicing channel, Spruce Pro. In addition, we were proud to earn a sizable increase in customer satisfaction ratings."

Hayes concluded, "As we look forward to 2025, Spruce has built a highly attractive owner-operator platform that is poised for scale and long-term value creation. We continue to advance a pipeline of growth opportunities with a focus on profitable growth and driving inflection in the cash generating ability of our Company. Further, we are focused on improving operating efficiency, which we expect to drive margin expansion."

Consolidated Financial Results

Revenues totaled $20.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in fourth quarter revenues was primarily a result of increased revenues associated with the NJR Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2024 and recognizing revenue for delinquent customer accounts in accordance with GAAP in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses were $26.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $24.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Core operating expenses, which includes both selling, general & administrative expenses ("SG&A") and operations & maintenance expenses ("O&M"), were $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, up from $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increases in both total operating expenses and core operating expenses were primarily attributable to higher compensation costs due to increased employee headcount, slightly offset by lower routine O&M costs in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net loss attributable to stockholders was $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Management considers Operating EBITDA as a key measure in evaluating Spruce's operating performance. For the fourth quarter of 2024, Operating EBITDA was $10.8 million.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company's total principal amount of outstanding debt as of December 31, 2024, was $730.6 million with a blended interest rate of 6.0%, including the impact of hedge arrangements. All debt consists of project finance loans that are non-recourse to the Company itself.

Total cash as of December 31, 2024, was $109.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $72.8 million and restricted cash of $36.3 million. This is down from $172.9 million of total cash as of December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to increased O&M expenses, cash paid for the NJR acquisition, and legal expense, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of new non-recourse debt in 2024.

Growth and Capital Allocation

Spruce is committed to maximizing long-term value for our shareholders through a disciplined approach that includes strategic acquisitions, capital expenditure projects, debt repayment, and shareholder return initiatives.

In January 2024, Spruce announced the launch of 'Spruce Pro', a brand that extends Spruce's distributed solar energy servicing capabilities into a new growth area of commercial solar.

In November 2024, Spruce acquired a portfolio of approximately 9,800 home solar assets and customer contracts, which is highly complementary to Spruce's existing asset base and funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and non-recourse project level debt. Inclusive of this acquisition, the Company's gross portfolio value was $910.0 million in the fourth quarter, whereas Spruce's gross portfolio value would have been $749.0 million without the transaction, further demonstrating the value of the acquisition while maintaining disciplined cash restraint.

In December 2024, Spruce entered into a servicing agreement with a residential solar installer to provide servicing solutions to a portfolio with approximately 60,000 residential solar systems.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Spruce repurchased 0.3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $2.93 for a total cost of $0.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs. There was $43.8 million remaining under the Company's authorized $50.0 million common share repurchase program at the end of 2024.

Key Operating Metrics

As of December 31, 2024, Spruce owned cash flows from approximately 85,000 home solar assets and contracts across 18 U.S. States with an average remaining contract life of approximately 11 years. Combined portfolio generation for the year ended December 31, 2024, was approximately 515 thousand MWh of power. In addition, the Company is also contracted to service over 60,000 third-party owned home solar systems as of December 31, 2024. Gross Portfolio Value, on a PV6 basis as described below, was $910.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of current period performance on a comparable basis with prior periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter, without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in our underlying financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the GAAP financial measures presented in this press release, our financial statements, and other publicly filed reports. This prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information or U.S. GAAP with respect to forward-looking financial information. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”):

We define EBITDA as our consolidated net income (loss) and adding back interest expense, net, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful information to the performance of our business and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP reporting. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain identified items that we do not consider to be part of our ongoing business, improves the comparability of year-to-year results, and is representative of our underlying performance. Management uses this information to assess and measure the performance of our operating segment. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the below reconciliations, and to provide an additional measure of performance.

Operating EBITDA:

We define Operating EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA plus proceeds from investment in master lease agreement, net, proceeds from buyouts / prepayments and interest earned on cash investments. Proceeds from investment in lease agreement, net, represent cash flows from the Company's Spruce Power 4 Portfolio, which holds the 20-year use rights to customer payment streams of approximately 22,500 solar lease and power purchase agreements, net of servicing costs. Proceeds from buyouts / prepayments represent cash inflows from the early buyout of customer solar contracts and cash inflows from the prepayment of customer solar contracts. Interest earned on cash investments represent cash interest received on investments in money market funds / U.S. Treasury securities.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow:

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Operating EBITDA less project finance debt service, platform capital expenditures, and other non-cash items. Project finance debt service represents principal and interest payments, including sweeps where applicable, on Spruce's non-recourse, project finance debt facilities. Other non-cash items represent miscellaneous non-cash income or expense associated with our various operating portfolios of residential solar assets.

Core Operating Expenses:

We define Core Operating Expenses as the sum of our SG&A and our O&M expenses.

Portfolio Value Metrics:

We believe Portfolio Value Metrics are helpful to management, investors, and analysts to understand the value of our business and to evaluate the estimated remaining value of our customer contracts, including present value implied from future, uncontracted sales of solar renewable energy credits ("SRECs") generated from assets that the Company owns today.

  • Gross Portfolio Value reflects the remaining projected net cash flows from current customers discounted at 6% (“PV6”)
  • Projected cash flows include the customer’s initial agreement plus renewal

(1) Contracted Portfolio Value represents the present value of the remaining net cash flows discounted at 6% per annum during the initial term of the Company’s customer agreements as of the measurement date. It is calculated as the present value of cash flows discounted at 6% that the Company expects to receive from customers in future periods as set forth in customer agreements, after deducting expected operating and maintenance costs, equipment replacements costs, distributions to tax equity partners in consolidated joint venture partnership flip structures, and distributions to third-party project equity investors. The calculation includes cash flows the Company expects to receive in future periods from state incentive and rebate programs, contracted sales of solar renewable energy credits, and awarded net cash flows from grid service programs with utilities or grid operators.

(2) Renewal Portfolio Value is the forecasted net present value the Company would receive upon or following the expiration of the initial customer agreement term, but before the 30th anniversary of the system’s activation in the form of cash payments during any applicable renewal period for customers as of the measurement date. The Company calculates the Renewal Portfolio Value amount at the expiration of the initial contract term assuming that, on average, Spruce's customers choose to renew 50% of the time at a contract rate representing a 35% discount to the contract rate in effect at the end of the initial contract term, for a term of 7-years.

(3) Uncontracted sales of SRECs based on forward market REC pricing curves, adjusted for liquidity discounts.

(4) Gross Portfolio Value represents the sum of Contracted Portfolio Value, Renewal Portfolio Value and Uncontracted SRECs.
