Insights

Emeren's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a strategically resilient solar developer despite top-line pressure. The company generated $92.1 million in annual revenue (-13% YoY) while maintaining a healthy 26.2% gross margin. Most impressive was the Q4 performance with $10.5 million in operating cash flow and $5 million in free cash flow, driving a 40% sequential increase in cash position to $50 million.

The company's pivot toward higher-margin business segments is paying dividends. The DSA (Development Service Agreement) and IPP (Independent Power Producer) businesses contributed 52% of total revenue with superior margins, evidenced by the 102% YoY surge in adjusted EBITDA to $6.9 million. The $84 million in contracted DSA revenue plus $100+ million in negotiation provides significant revenue visibility for 2025-2027.

Despite these positives, currency headwinds remain problematic, widening net losses to $12.5 million from $3.2 million in 2023. Project timing delays in Q4 impacted near-term performance but aren't indicative of business deterioration.

Emeren's 2025 outlook of $80-100 million revenue with 30-33% gross margins suggests continued focus on high-quality earnings rather than volume growth. The debt-to-asset ratio remains conservative at 11.23%, providing financial flexibility as the company executes its capital-light growth strategy across global renewable markets.

Emeren's strategic evolution toward a balanced renewable portfolio is evident in its execution across multiple value streams. The company has effectively diversified beyond traditional solar development to capitalize on the rapidly growing energy storage market, monetizing 1.3 GW of battery storage projects in 2024 alongside 200 MW of solar assets.

The company's geographic diversification deserves attention – maintaining strength in Europe (75% of DSA pipeline) while establishing footholds in the U.S. and Asian markets provides natural hedging against regional policy shifts. The integration of their 18 MWh BESS in China with Huaneng Power's VPP platform demonstrates sophisticated positioning ahead of China's 2025 merchant power market liberalization.

The project pipeline reveals a strategic pivot toward storage-centric development with 4.3 GW of advanced-stage storage projects versus 2.4 GW of solar PV. This ratio aligns with global grid balancing needs as renewable penetration increases.

Most significant is Emeren's capital efficiency – generating free cash flow while maintaining a lean 11.23% debt-to-asset ratio indicates disciplined development practices unlike many over-leveraged renewable developers. The $5.9 per ADS net asset value provides a tangible floor for investors.

While project timing delays created revenue recognition challenges, the fundamentals remain intact with $84 million in contracted DSA revenue. The company's ability to execute complex transactions across multiple jurisdictions (462 MW BESS in Italy, 65 MW solar to Trina in Germany) demonstrates the maturity of their development platform despite their relatively modest market capitalization.

- Delivered Strong Free Cash Flow in Q4 2024
- Achieved High-Margin Expansion Driven by IPP and DSA Businesses

NORWALK, Conn., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Emeren Group Ltd ("Emeren" or the "Company") (www.emeren.com) (NYSE: SOL), a leading global solar project developer, owner, and operator, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, highlighting key growth catalysts for 2025.

Fellow Shareholders,

2024 was a year of resilience, disciplined execution, and strategic growth for Emeren. Despite currency headwinds and project sale delays, we successfully monetized renewable energy assets, expanded our energy storage footprint, and generated positive free cash flow in Q4. Our Independent Power Producer (IPP) and Development Service Agreement (DSA) segments provided high margins and stable cash flows, while strategic project monetization strengthened our financial position. We ended the year with $50.0 million in cash, up 40% sequentially, positioning us for continued growth in 2025.

Resilient Growth Driving Free Cash Flow

In Q4 2024, we generated $10.5 million in operating cash flow and over $5 million in free cash flow, further strengthening our financial position amid a challenging market landscape. For the full year, we achieved $6.9 million in adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating disciplined execution and a high-margin business model.

Our capital-light model fueled profitable growth while supporting investment. Strong liquidity and efficiency position us to capitalize on 2025 project sales and opportunities.

Executing High-Margin Expansion

Our resilient high-margin IPP and DSA segments enabled us to deliver $34.6 million in revenue and $4.8 million in gross profit, achieving a solid 14% gross margin in Q4. While FX losses due to the strength of U.S. dollar impacted net income, our operating loss improved by 35% Y/Y in Q4, reflecting strong cost discipline.

Although project timing delays in the U.S. and Europe affected Q4 revenue recognition, these projects remain on track to close in 1H 2025, ensuring near-term revenue realization.

Q4 2024 Highlights

We achieved significant milestones across key markets in Q4, strengthening our position in renewable energy monetization and energy storage.

Europe:

These achievements highlight our ability to execute across multiple regions, ensuring efficient project monetization, expanding our renewable energy portfolio, and strengthening contracted cash flow generation.

Business Line Performance

DSA

The DSA business serves as a cornerstone of our high-margin growth strategy, providing strong revenue visibility while enabling us to monetize projects at early- and mid-development stages. We extended our DSA model into key markets, generating approximately $9.5 million (28% of Q4 revenue), primarily from Italy and Germany. For the full year, we generated approximately $19 million in DSA revenue, reflecting successful contract execution and geographic expansion.

As of December 31, 2024, we have secured DSA contracts with nine partners for 40 projects totaling over 2.8 GW, comprising 85% BESS and 15% PV. These agreements are expected to generate approximately $84 million in contracted revenue over the next two to three years, in addition to $19 million recognized in 2024, further reinforcing our financial stability. Additionally, about 2.5 GW of DSAs are under negotiation, representing a potential revenue pipeline of over $100 million.

With 75% of our DSA pipeline concentrated in Europe, we are well-positioned to benefit from strong regulatory support for renewable energy and increasing demand for energy storage solutions.

Solar Power Project Development

In addition to completing major transactions in Poland and the U.S., we were active in markets with strong long-term demand for renewable energy. Our solar development business continued to drive monetization opportunities, leveraging our expertise in advancing projects from development to sale. In 2024, we successfully monetized approximately 200 MW of solar PV projects, including 65 MW in Germany, 57 MW in France, 42 MW in Spain, 17 MW in Poland, 16 MW in China, and 3 MW in the U.S. We also monetized 1.3 GW of BESS projects, with 1,210 MW in Italy, 72 MW in the U.S., and 18 MW in China. These achievements reflect our disciplined approach to capital recycling while maintaining a robust development pipeline to support future growth, reinforcing our position as a leader in the sector.

IPP

The IPP segment was a cornerstone of our profitability, providing stable and predictable cash flows from long-term operating assets. In 2024, IPP revenue accounted for approximately 31% of total revenue and 64% of total gross profit, underscoring its high-margin contribution to our financial performance. The segment generated $5.4 million in Q4, down from Q3 due to seasonality.

Our well-balanced IPP portfolio spans Europe and China, with a growing U.S. presence. In Q4, we optimized assets, including Branston in the U.K., and advanced our energy storage integration strategy. Notably, our newly commissioned 18 MWh BESS in China is now fully integrated into Huaneng Power International's Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform, enhancing grid stability and efficiency.

With China's merchant power market opening in 2025, our BESS assets are well-positioned to capitalize on price arbitrage, further strengthening long-term profitability and financial resilience.

Full-Year 2024 Financial Summary

For full-year 2024, we generated $92.1 million in revenue and $24.1 million in gross profit, achieving a 26% gross margin. We reported an operating loss of $0.5 million, while non-cash FX losses resulted in a net loss^{^[1]} of $12.5 million.

Despite FX headwinds, operating cash flow improved significantly toward breakeven, reaching negative $4.2 million compared to negative $23.5 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $6.9 million, reflecting disciplined financial execution. Over the year, we successfully monetized a significant volume of renewable energy assets, including solar and battery storage projects, strengthening our financial position and reinforcing our capital-efficient business model.

Our disciplined execution, successful project monetization, and strengthened financial position provide a strong foundation to scale our business efficiently while maintaining capital discipline.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Emeren Group Ltd's financial statements presented on a US GAAP basis, Emeren Group Ltd provides non-GAAP financial data as supplemental measures of its performance.

To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding pro-forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.

EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus discount of electricity subsidy in China, plus share-based compensation, plus impairment of long-lived assets, plus loss/(gain) on disposal of assets, plus foreign exchange loss/(gain).

Our management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to access the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time.

We find these measures especially useful when reviewing pro-forma results of operations, which include large non-cash impairment of long-lived assets and loss on disposal of assets. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
