Maxeon Solar Technologies Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
--Shipments of 434 MW; Revenue of $176 million led by record quarter for European DG--
--DOE Loan Guarantee application submitted for 3GW manufacturing facility in the US--

Singapore, August 13, 2021 – 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 second quarter ended July 4, 2021.

Commenting on results, Maxeon’s Chief Executive Officer Jeff Waters noted, “The second quarter was very productive for Maxeon. Strong execution in the Distributed Generation (“DG”) market not only produced results consistent with our outlook, but also put the Company in a position to achieve even stronger sequential growth in future quarters. The European DG channel posted a record revenue quarter. In utility-scale, we remain selective based on market pricing outside the United States, but we're now seeing bidding trends that support strong 2022 growth.”
Waters also commented: “Operationally we continue to optimize our manufacturing footprint and product lines, phasing out the legacy Maxeon 2 product and readying for the ramp of Maxeon 6 this year, as well as clearing the way for the build out of our Performance line capacity for the U.S. market in the first half of 2022. Additionally, our liquidity improved during the quarter with $170 million of net proceeds from our public offering and an additional $33 million in positive operating cash flows in fiscal Q2 2021. With a stronger balance sheet, strong growth indicators and continued operational progress, we at Maxeon continue to grow in our confidence in our financial transformation.”
Commenting on the Company's potential launch of a manufacturing facility on U.S. soil, Waters stated: “We recently submitted to the United States Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office an application to support the deployment of a 3 GW Performance line solar cell and module factory. Pending successful negotiation of a DOE loan guarantee and the passage of enabling legislation including the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act and the American Jobs in Energy Manufacturing Act of 2021, we intend to move forward with this project with the goal of starting solar panel production in the U.S. as early as 2023.”

Supplementary information affecting GAAP and Non-GAAP results
Three Months Ended
(In thousands)Financial statements item affectedJuly 4, 2021April 4, 2021June 28, 2020
Incremental cost of above market polysilicon(1)
Cost of revenue12,538 11,618 6,345 
Loss on ancillary sales of excess polysilicon(2)
Cost of revenue2,498 1,720 1,993 
(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 time, multiplied by the volume of modules sold within the quarter.
(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.
Third Quarter 2021 Outlook
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company anticipates the following results:
(In millions, except shipments) Outlook
Shipments, in MW 580 - 640 MW
Revenue$220 - $240
Gross loss(1)
$10 - $20
Non-GAAP gross loss(1), (2)
$10 - $20
Operating expenses$36 ± $2
Non-GAAP operating expenses(3)
$31 ± $2
Adjusted EBITDA(1), (4)
$(30) - $(40)
Capital investments(5)
$55 - $65
Out-of-market polysilicon cost(1)
$20 - $23
Restructuring charges(3), (6)
$3 - $4
(1)Outlook for Gross loss, Non-GAAP gross loss and Adjusted EBITDA includes out-of-market polysilicon cost.
(2)The Company's Non-GAAP gross loss is impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense. The Company does not provide a reconciliation between its gross loss and Non-GAAP gross loss outlook as the outlook is rounded to the nearest million and hence the adjustment does not result in a difference in Non-GAAP gross loss outlook.
(3)The Company's Non-GAAP operating expenses are impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges.
(4)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.
(5)Capital investments are directed mainly to upgrading production from Maxeon 2 to Maxeon 6 in our Malaysia factory, the purchase of cell and module equipment for our 1.8 GW of Performance line capacity for the U.S., as well as Maxeon 7 pilot line investment.

(6)We are in the process of closing our module factory in Toulouse, France resulting in anticipated restructuring charges. Additional restructuring charges are anticipated for the continued restructuring of our manufacturing network. The restructuring charges are included in operating expenses.
These anticipated results for the third quarter of 2021 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, the uncertainty of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the global economic environment.

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. 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 loss (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.
