--Fiscal year 2024 revenue of $509 million--

--Amid continued headwinds, committed to business transformation and fiscal discipline--

SINGAPORE, April 30, 2025 /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 its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

"Maxeon's fourth quarter and fiscal 2024 results reflect the continued challenge posed by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP)'s barring and exclusion of our Maxeon 3, Maxeon 6, and Performance 6 solar panels from U.S. import since July 2024", said George Guo, Maxeon's CEO. "Despite our thorough and transparent supply chain mapping and submission of extensive documentation demonstrating full compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), CBP's determination has not changed. CBP has neither cited any evidence nor alleged any non-compliance with the UFLPA on our part, yet it continues to unjustifiably block our products, causing material disruption to our business, our customers, and the U.S. renewable energy sector. We believe these actions are without merit and have commenced a legal action to contest CBP's decision at the U.S. Court of International Trade, demonstrating that our legacy supply chains are fully UFLPA-compliant."

Guo continued, "However, Maxeon is making progress in transforming our business to establish alternative manufacturing and supply chains to strengthen our versatility and resilience. We are restructuring to compete more effectively by focusing exclusively on the U.S. market, and in streamlining our operations, increasing efficiency, and reducing cost. Additionally, in light of new tariffs, we are identifying additional domestic component vendors and facilitating the transition to U.S.-focused operations along with expanding our network of U.S. partners. Providing residential, commercial and utility scale customers with the most efficient and reliable solar energy products is our top priority, and the strategic moves we are implementing today are designed to ensure our ability to achieve this strategic priority for the long term."

Dmitri Hu, Maxeon's CFO, added "Despite continued market uncertainties, Maxeon remains committed to fiscal discipline and strengthening our balance sheet. Earlier this year, we concluded divestment of the Company's assets in Philippines, as well as its businesses outside of the U.S. These divestments contributed liquidity to support our operations and drive our ongoing business transformation. We also restructured the interest payments on our outstanding debt obligations, substantially reducing the resulting cash burden. We continue to contemplate a few other financial restructuring initiatives, all targeted towards ensuring Maxeon remains resilient in the face of near-term headwinds."

Hu continued, "Considering ongoing restructuring and the volatile policy environment, we are unable to provide financial guidance for the foreseeable future. We will defer holding a conference call to discuss financial results until there is better visibility of the macroeconomic landscape and its impact on our transformation initiatives. Further, the Company will no longer report its earnings on a quarterly basis. As a foreign private issuer, the Company will report its audited financial statements through the filing of the Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will report its financial results for the six months ended June 30th of each fiscal year, as required by Nasdaq listing rule 5250. Nonetheless, the Company will continue to comply with its continuing disclosure obligations should there be any developments (financial or otherwise) giving rise to such disclosure obligations."

Presentation 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, provision for expected credit losses, restructuring charges and fees, remeasurement loss on prepaid forward, physical delivery forward and warrants, gain on extinguishment of debt, and equity in losses of unconsolidated investees ("Adjusted EBITDA") to supplement our consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross (loss) profit is defined as gross (loss) profit excluding stock-based compensation and restructuring charges and fees. Non-GAAP operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, provision for expected credit losses and restructuring charges and fees.

We believe that non-GAAP gross (loss) 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 (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.
Provision for expected credit losses. This relates to the expected credit loss in relation to the financial assets under the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated November 8, 2019 (the "SDA") entered into with SunPower Corporation ("SunPower") in connection with the Company's spin-off from SunPower. Such loss is excluded from non-GAAP operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA as this relates to SunPower's business, which Maxeon did not and will not have economic benefits to, as the Company's involvement is solely through SunPower's now-terminated indemnification obligations set forth in the SDA. We have recorded the expected credit loss as a result of SunPower's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing due to our expectation that SunPower will not meet its prior indemnification obligations to us under the SDA. As such, management believes that this is not part of core operating activity and it is appropriate to exclude the provision for expected credit losses from our non-GAAP financial measures as it is not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do these charges contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
Restructuring charges and fees. We incur restructuring charges, inventory impairment and other inventory related costs associated with the re-engineering of our IBC capacity, and fees related to reorganization plans and business acquisition 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 gross profit (loss), 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 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 $200.0 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 loss (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 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.
Remeasurement loss on warrants. This relates to the mark-to-market fair value remeasurement of exchange warrants and investor warrants. The transactions were entered into in connection with the exchange of 99.25% of the 2025 Notes with aggregate notional amount of $200 million and the 9.00% Convertible First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 of $97.5 million, both entered on June 20, 2024. The investor warrants were remeasured to fair value prior to them being exercised and were reclassified to equity, and will not be subsequently remeasured. The exchange warrants were remeasured to fair value on September 12, 2024, and were reclassified to equity after on such date, and will not be subsequently remeasured. The fair value of the warrants was primarily affected by the Company's share price. The remeasurement loss on warrants is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is not considered a core operating activity. 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 of unconsolidated investees and related gain. This relates to the loss on our former unconsolidated equity investment in HSPV and gains on such investment on divestment. 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.
Loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. This relates to the gain that arose from the substantial modification in June 2024 of our Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Green Convertible Notes") and First Lien Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2027, offset by the loss as a result of early redemption by the noteholders of the remaining Green Convertible Notes who has not opted for the exchange. Gain on debt extinguishment is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is not considered part of core operating activities. Such activities are discrete events based on unique sets of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the gain on extinguishment of debt from our non-GAAP financial measures as it is not reflective of ongoing operating results nor do these charges contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.
