--$54 Million Non-GAAP Gross Margin, $31 Million Adjusted EBITDA--

SINGAPORE, May 10, 2023 /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 2, 2023.

Maxeon's Chief Executive Officer Bill Mulligan noted, "Maxeon delivered strong financial performance in Q1, executing well across the organization and exceeding our gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA targets. Our DG business benefited from prudent supply chain management and solid ASP execution in Europe, combined with expanded profitability in the US. In our North America utility-scale business we booked several new projects in the first quarter, with production now booked out through 2025 and allocated based on sold options into 2027. Based on strong customer demand, we are actively looking for opportunities to expand our North American supply chain, including progressing our application with the DOE Loan Program Office for a domestic cell and module facility."

Mulligan continued, "While our team is energized by delivering a strong start to the year, we remain highly focused on executing our strategy and achieving our full year 2023 financial targets. With Q1 results exceeding our expectations we are raising our 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance from $80 - $100 million to $95 - $120 million. Beyond 2023, we believe that our technology innovation roadmap, strong brands and unique go-to-market channels provide a solid foundation for continued growth."

Supplementary information affecting GAAP and Non-GAAP results

		Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	Financial statements item affected	April 2, 2023	January 1, 2023	April 3, 2022
Incremental cost of above market polysilicon⁽¹⁾	Cost of revenue	237	30	7,388
Loss on ancillary sales of excess polysilicon^{(2), (3)}	Cost of revenue	—	—	8,328


⁽¹⁾	Relates to the difference between our contractual cost for the polysilicon under the long-term fixed supply agreements with our supplier and the price of polysilicon available in the market as derived from publicly available information at the beginning of each quarter, multiplied by the volume of modules sold within the quarter.
⁽²⁾	In order to reduce inventory and improve working capital, we had 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. There was no such sale in the three months ended April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023.
⁽³⁾	For the three months ended April 3, 2022, the loss on ancillary sales of excess polysilicon also included $5.9 million for the loss on firm purchase commitment in connection to the ancillary sales to third parties of excess polysilicon fulfilled in the subsequent quarters.

Fiscal Year 2023 and Second Quarter 2023 Outlook

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company anticipates the following results:

(In millions, except shipments)	Outlook
Shipments, in MW	860 - 900
Revenue	$360 - $400
Gross profit	$49 - $59
Non-GAAP gross profit⁽¹⁾	$50 - $60
Operating expenses	$47 ± $2
Non-GAAP operating expenses⁽²⁾	$42 ± $2
Adjusted EBITDA⁽³⁾	$24 - $34
Capital expenditures⁽⁴⁾	$20 - $26

For fiscal year 2023, the Company anticipates the following revised results:

– Revenue to be within a range of $1,400 million to $1,600 million.

– Adjusted EBITDA to be within a range of $95 million to $120 million.

⁽¹⁾	The Company's Non-GAAP gross profit is impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense.
⁽²⁾	The Company's Non-GAAP operating expenses are impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges and fees.
⁽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 the prepaid forward and the equity in gain or loss of unconsolidated investees.
⁽⁴⁾	Capital expenditures are directed mainly to preparation for capacity expansion for our Maxeon 7 technology, completion of manufacturing capacity for Performance line panels to be sold in the U.S. market, completion of manufacturing capacity for our Maxeon 6 product platform, further developing Maxeon 7 technology and operating a pilot line, as well as various corporate initiatives. The above excludes capital expenditures in connection to the investment plan to deploy a multi-GW factory in the United States to manufacture solar products for both the DG and utility-scale power plant markets.

These anticipated results for the second quarter of 2023 are preliminary, unaudited and represent the most current information available to management. The Company's business outlook is based on management's current views and estimates with respect to market conditions, production capacity and the global economic environment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and fees, remeasurement loss on prepaid forward and physical delivery forward and equity in losses of unconsolidated investees ("Adjusted EBITDA") to supplement our consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit (loss) is defined as gross profit (loss) excluding stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and restructuring charges and fees.

We believe that non-GAAP gross profit (loss), 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 (loss), 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 (benefits) charges and fees. We incur restructuring (benefits) charges 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.
Remeasurement (gain) loss 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 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 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.
Equity in losses (income) of unconsolidated investees and related gains. This relates to the loss (income) on our unconsolidated equity investment Huansheng JV and gains on such investment. 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.
