The company began manufacturing in October 2023 and has delivered 1.3 GW of solar cells to customers. TOYO plans to start construction of a 2 GW solar module manufacturing facility in the U.S. in Q4 2024. However, due to U.S. trade investigations, the company has reduced its 2024 shipment forecast from 2.5 GW to over 1.9 GW.

Positive

• Revenue increased to $138.1 million from $0 in H1 2023
• Net income improved to $19.6 million from a loss of $1.9 million in H1 2023
• Gross Margin of 19.3%
• Delivered 1.3 GW of solar cells since October 2023
• Plans to build a 2 GW solar module manufacturing facility in the U.S.
• Cash and restricted cash increased to $44.4 million from $19.0 million in December 2023

Negative

• Reduced 2024 shipment forecast from 2.5 GW to over 1.9 GW due to U.S. trade investigations
• Potential impact from U.S. anti-dumping and countervailing duties probe
• Uncertainty in pricing and demand for advanced solar products in the U.S. market

Financial Analyst

TOYO's first half 2024 results show a remarkable turnaround from the previous year. With $138.1 million in revenue and a 19.3% gross margin, the company has quickly established itself as a significant player in the solar industry. The net income of $19.6 million is particularly impressive, considering the $1.9 million loss in H1 2023.

However, investors should note the potential headwinds. The ongoing U.S. trade investigation into Southeast Asian solar manufacturers could impact TOYO's shipments and pricing. This uncertainty has already led to a reduction in expected annual shipments from 2.5 GW to 1.9 GW. The company's strategy to diversify markets and establish U.S. manufacturing is prudent but may impact short-term profitability.

Solar Industry Expert

TOYO's rapid ramp-up to 985 MW shipped in just six months is noteworthy in the competitive solar market. The planned 2 GW U.S. module manufacturing facility signals a strategic move to mitigate trade risks and capture the growing U.S. market. However, the company faces challenges:

• Expiration of the two-year tariff exemption
• Ongoing anti-dumping and countervailing duties investigation
• Potential application of measures despite Japanese parentage

TOYO's pivot to other markets like India and the Middle East is a smart diversification strategy, but success will depend on their ability to compete in these price-sensitive markets while maintaining profitability.

Market Research Analyst

TOYO's performance indicates strong demand for advanced N-Topcon solar modules, particularly in the U.S. market. The global cooperation agreement with OCI Company enhances their supply chain credibility, which is important in the current environment of increased scrutiny on solar product origins.

The reduction in expected shipments from 2.5 GW to 1.9 GW for 2024 reflects the market's sensitivity to trade investigations. This adjustment, while significant, still represents substantial growth. The company's cash position improvement from $19.0 million to $44.4 million in six months demonstrates strong cash generation, providing a buffer for potential market volatilities and planned expansions.

TOKYO, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TOYO Co., Ltd (Nasdaq: TOYO) ("TOYO" or the "Company"), a solar solution company, today announced its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

First Six Months of 2024 Highlights

• Revenues of $138.1 million versus $0 revenues in the first half of 2023
• Gross Margin of 19.3%
• Net income of $19.6 million versus a loss of $1.9 million in the first half of 2023
• 985 MW shipped

"We are pleased with our financial and operational achievements in the first half of 2024, highlighting our team's outstanding execution capabilities," said Junsei Ryu, Chairman and CEO of TOYO. "Since we commenced manufacturing in October 2023, our facility has successfully delivered 1.3 GW of solar cells to customers. Customer feedback on the product's technical specifications and quality has been exceptional, and our team showed that they were able to establish high-volume cell manufacturing using advanced automation in the industry in record time. Confident in our ability to replicate this success, we are gearing up and expecting to begin the construction of a 2 GW solar module manufacturing facility in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2024."

Revenues for the first half of 2024 were $138.1 million, increased from zero in the comparable six months in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by sales as the facility increased its production capacity, which commenced in October 2023.

The cost of revenues was $111.4 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to zero for the same period of the last year, reflecting the absence of production in the same period of 2023.

Selling and marketing expenses were $0.36 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to zero for the same period of the last year.

General and administrative expenses were $3.8 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $1.8 million for the same period of the last year.

Total operating expenses increased to $4.2 million for the first six months of 2024, from $1.8 million for the same period of the last year.

Net income was $19.6 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the same period of the last year.

Earnings per share, basic and diluted, was $0.48 for the first six months of 2024, compared to a loss per share, basic and diluted of $0.05 for the same period of the last year3.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $44.4 million in cash and restricted cash in total, compared to $19.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Recent Developments

• Completed business combination with Blue World Acquisition Corporation and, the ordinary shares of TOYO started trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on July 2, 2024
• Signed a global cooperation agreement with OCI Company Limited, a major Korean silicon material supplier, to offer our customers trustworthy and verifiable photovoltaic products
• Reached the final stage of negotiations to build a 2GW solar module manufacturing plant in the United States

Business Outlook

At the beginning of the year, annual shipments were expected to reach 2.5 GW based on the demands of solar utilities, primarily in the U.S., for advanced N-Topcon solar modules and the strong brand reputation of TOYO Solar's affiliate, Vietnam Sunergy Joint Stock Company. However, due to the U.S. trade investigation into Southeast Asian solar manufacturers, which included TOYO's facility in Vietnam, the Company and its major clients have decided to reduce shipment volumes until the announcement of preliminary investigation results expected to be available between September to November 2024. As a result, the Company currently expects to deliver over 1.9 GW in orders during the full year 2024.

"The expiration of the two-year tariff exemption period at the beginning of June, combined with the probe into anti-dumping and countervailing duties by the U.S. Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission, have injected near-term uncertainty into pricing and demand for advanced solar products from the U.S., TOYO's primary market," commented Mr. Ryu.

"While these measures are targeted towards Chinese solar companies with operations in Southeast Asia, they also might apply to TOYO, despite having a Japanese parent company. To address this situation, we are accelerating plans to build out our U.S. manufacturing presence while increasing shipments to customers based in India, the Middle East, and other markets. Our strategy to build an integrated value chain in North America serving our U.S. customers remains unchanged, and we will continue to observe and adapt to dynamic industry conditions."
