Press Release
SINGAPORE, May 20, 2021 /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 April 4, 2021.
Commenting on first quarter results, Maxeon's Chief Executive Officer Jeff Waters noted, "As expected, results for the first quarter of 2021 were in line with our recently offered outlook. Shipment and revenue declines reflected the natural seasonal pattern in our distributed generation business, combined with our ongoing pause in large scale. Gross margins were relatively stable considering the volume decline, with better average selling prices offsetting volume deleveraging. Operating expenses ran higher sequentially, but in line with projections. As we conclude the remaining SunPower separation activities, we expect to bring operating expenses down in the quarters ahead."
Looking ahead, Waters elaborated, "We are optimistic about our long-term prospects as we continue to make significant progress in key strategic growth areas. Our newly announced initiative to bring Performance line products to North America is progressing rapidly, with an agreement to supply approximately 1 GW for Primergy's Gemini Project. Our Beyond the Panel strategy is unfolding as planned, with Maxeon AC panels on track to exceed 20% of distributed generation revenues outside the United States as we exit the year. As well, we continue to optimize our manufacturing footprint and support margins as we ramp Maxeon 6 production and phase out our legacy Maxeon 2 line."
Waters concluded, "Maxeon has a heritage of leading the solar industry through advanced technology development, and as an independent company we are accelerating this effort. Two days ago, we again demonstrated our technical leadership with the introduction of Maxeon Air, a disruptive technology platform that enables the production of frameless, thin, lightweight, and conformable solar panels. The Maxeon Air solar panel can open new market opportunities. Furthermore, research and development on our next-generation Maxeon 7 is hitting its milestones, with visibility for greater than 25% efficiency at launch. We are enthusiastic about our technology roadmap, which we believe will drive robust growth for years to come."

(2) | In order to reduce inventory and improve working capital, we have periodically elected to sell polysilicon inventory procured under the long-term fixed supply agreements in the market at prices below our purchase price, thereby incurring a loss. |
Second Quarter 2021 Outlook
For the second quarter of 2021, the Company anticipates the following results:
(In millions, except shipments) | Outlook |
Shipments, in MW | 415 - 475 MW |
Revenue | $165 - $185 |
Gross loss(1) | $5 - $15 |
Operating expenses | $38 ± $2 |

Restructuring charges(2), (5) | $5 - $6 |
(1) | Outlook for Gross loss and Adjusted EBITDA includes out-of-market polysilicon cost. |
(2) | The Company's Non-GAAP operating expenses are impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges. |
(3) | 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 prepaid forward. |
(4) | Capital investments are directed mainly to upgrading production from Maxeon 2 to Maxeon 5 and 6 in our Malaysia factory, and research and development activities related to the new Maxeon 7 technology. |
(5) | We are in the process of closing our module factory in Toulouse, France resulting in anticipated restructuring charges. The restructuring charges are included in operating expenses. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and remeasurement gain on prepaid forward and physical delivery forward ("Adjusted EBITDA") to supplement our condensed consolidated and combined financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and restructuring charges.
We believe that non-GAAP gross 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 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 (benefits). We incur restructuring charges related to reorganization plans aimed towards realigning resources consistent with our global strategy and improving its overall operating efficiency and cost structure. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA because they are not considered core operating activities and such costs have historically occurred infrequently. Although we have engaged in restructuring activities in the past, 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 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 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 $200.0 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 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 these mark-to-market adjustments from our Adjusted EBITDA as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do these gains contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
