(3) A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included at the end of this press release.





“We finished the year with a better than expected fourth quarter, as demand for SunPower’s differentiated technology sold through our diversified downstream channels enabled us to reach annual records in both revenue and shipments,” said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO.  “Operationally, we achieved both our panel production cost target and accelerated manufacturing step reduction program milestones.  Research and development investment results included initial volume production of our Maxeon Gen 3 next generation cell technology with a maximum cell efficiency of 24 percent.  As the market transitions, the companies with the strongest balance sheets will gain share.  Our strategic partnership with Total SA solidifies SunPower as one of the leading companies in the industry today.  

“In the fourth quarter, we benefitted from solid execution as we exceeded our non-GAAP outlook for revenue, gross margin and earnings per share.  Our Utility and Power Plants (UPP) business continued to outperform as we met our project commitments and began major construction activities at the 250 megawatt (MW) California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR) power plant project. Additionally, we completed the permitting process for our three contracts with Southern California Edison, totaling 711 MW.  The associated power purchase agreements (PPAs), with pricing below the 2009 California market price referent, received California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approval last month.  Our power plant construction and technology delivery schedules give us predictable cash flows and confidence in our multi-year financial plan.  In the Residential and Commercial segment, we successfully managed through challenging industry conditions during the quarter.  We maintained our leadership position in the U.S. market driven by strong demand for our recently introduced residential leasing product.  Customers continue to choose SunPower for their rooftop systems due to our industry leading technology, competitive levelized cost of energy and superior product quality.

“With the completion of our acquisition of Tenesol SA in January 2012, we will expand our global channel footprint across the 18 countries where they do business today. Tenesol has an attractive differentiated building-integrated and off-grid product portfolio and a bankable reputation built on more than 500 MW of deployed systems globally.  With Tenesol, SunPower is better positioned to drive market share growth and new market penetration,” concluded Werner.

Key milestones achieved by the company since the third quarter of 2011 include:

  • Began major construction activities at the 250 MW CVSR power plant and on track for phase 1 completion milestone
  • Received CPUC approval and conditional use permits for 711 MW of power plants under PPAs with Southern California Edison
  • Acquired Tenesol from Total, increasing Total ownership to 66 percent of SunPower
  • Signed 54-MW DC supply agreement with NRG Solar for delivery in 2011 and 2012 including 30-MW Oasis power system
  • Broke ground on 13.8-MW DC Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake – largest solar project in Navy history and first 20 year PPA with a Federal agency
  • Announced the first commercial contract of SunPower® C7 Tracker technology at Arizona State University under a PPA with SRP, an Ariz. utility
  • Launched the company’s first mass market residential lease program with our U.S. dealers – more than 2,500 leases signed by year-end 2011
  • Added Nissan and Orchard Supply Hardware to the company’s residential Alliance program
  • Finished 2011 with more than $658 million in available cash; retired $199 million of convertible debt in Q1 2012


“We exited 2011 with more than $683 million in available cash and liquidity, and continued to improve our working capital metrics in the fourth quarter,” said Dennis Arriola, SunPower CFO.  “In 2012, our new reporting format will reflect our restructuring into a regional organization which will help reduce our operating expenses year over year.  Looking forward, we have sufficient resources and liquidity to grow production, increase market share and implement our manufacturing step reduction roadmap, while meeting our 2012 financial plan.”

Fourth quarter GAAP results include pre-tax charges, expenses and adjustments totaling approximately $91.3 million, including a $39.4 million gross margin adjustment related to the timing of revenue recognition from UPP project and construction activities, a $21.6 million adjustment resulting from the sale of stock in the company’s Woongjin joint venture,  $15.9 million in stock based compensation, non-cash interest expense and amortization of intangible expenses, $7.5 million of previously announced restructuring expenses, and $7.3 million related to the write-down of third-party inventory.  These charges are excluded from the company’s non-GAAP results.  Additionally, fourth quarter GAAP results exclude approximately $186 million in revenue related to GAAP real estate accounting requirements.    

2012 Financial Outlook

The company provided its first quarter 2012 consolidated non-GAAP guidance as follows: revenue of $500 million to $575 million, gross margin of 9% to 11%, net loss per diluted share of ($0.20) to ($0.05), capital expenditures of $45 million to $55 million, and MW recognized in the range of 190 MW to 210 MW.  On a GAAP basis, the company expects revenue of $420 million to $495 million, gross margin of 7% to 10% and net loss per diluted share of ($0.60) to ($0.45).

For the fiscal year 2012, the company expects both GAAP and non-GAAP revenue of $2.6 billion to $3.0 billion and MW recognized to be in the range of 900 MW to 1,200 MW.  SunPower remains committed to achieving break even or better non-GAAP profitability and a year-end unrestricted cash balance of more than $300 million, while investing in cost reduction initiatives.  

This press release contains both GAAP and non-GAAP financial information.  Non-GAAP historical figures are reconciled to the closest GAAP equivalent categories in the financial attachment of this press release.  Please note that the company has posted supplemental information and slides related to its fourth quarter 2011 performance on the Events and Presentations section of the SunPower Investor Relations page at http://investors.sunpowercorp.com/events.cfm.  The capacity of power plants in this release is described in approximate megawatts on an alternating current (ac) basis unless otherwise noted.

About SunPower’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, SunPower uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results for certain items, as described below. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income includes the results of discontinued operations. Management does not consider these items in evaluating the core operational activities of SunPower. The specific non-GAAP measures listed below are gross margin, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. Management believes that each of these non-GAAP measures (gross margin, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) per share) are useful to investors by enabling them to better assess changes in each of these key elements of SunPower’s results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of these items. Thus, each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing SunPower’s operating results in a manner that is focused on its ongoing core operating performance, absent the effects of these items. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess the business and financial performance of current and historical results, for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating the company’s current performance. Many of the analysts covering SunPower also use these non-GAAP measures in their analyses. Given management’s use of these non-GAAP measures, SunPower believes these measures are important to investors in understanding SunPower’s current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP financial data, the non-GAAP measures should be reviewed together with the GAAP measures and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

  • Non-GAAP gross margin. The use of this non-GAAP financial measure allows management to evaluate the gross margin of SunPower’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of charges including amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, certain losses due to change in European government incentives, and interest expense. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin includes the revenue recognition of a utility and power plant project on a non-GAAP basis and the results of discontinued operations. This non-GAAP financial measure is an important component of management's internal performance measurement process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate SunPower’s revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of its core businesses.
  • Non-GAAP operating income (loss). The use of this non-GAAP financial measure allows management to evaluate the operating results of SunPower's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of charges including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment, amortization of intangible assets and promissory notes, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, Total investment related costs, certain losses due to change in European government incentives, and interest expense. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP operating income (loss) includes the revenue recognition of a utility and power plant project on a non-GAAP basis and the results of discontinued operations. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is an important component of management's internal performance measurement process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of SunPower’s core businesses and to compare results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the industry.
  • Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to assess SunPower's operating results and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of items including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment, amortization of intangible assets and promissory notes, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, Total investment related costs, certain losses due to change in European government incentives, interest expense, net gains (losses) on mark-to-market derivative instruments, changes in our equity investment in joint ventures, and the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) includes the revenue recognition of a utility and power plant project on a non-GAAP basis and the results of discontinued operations. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to compare SunPower's operating results on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the industry.


Included items

  • Revenue and cost of revenue. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company executed a sale contract of a utility and power plant project and began construction of the plant. During the three and twelve months ended January 1, 2012, the Company recorded Non-GAAP revenue of $186.4 million and Non-GAAP cost of revenue of $147.0 million related to this utility and power plant project based on the separately identifiable components of this transaction in order to reflect the substance of the transaction. On a GAAP basis, such revenue and cost of revenue would be deferred under U.S. GAAP real estate accounting guidance until cash in excess of certain letters of credit is received from the customer. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate SunPower’s revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of its core businesses.


Excluded Items

  • Goodwill and other intangible asset impairment. During the twelve months ended January 1, 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $309.5 million and an intangible asset impairment of $40.3 million attributable to the change in public market valuation of the solar sector. SunPower excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of SunPower’s core businesses.
  • Amortization of intangible assets. SunPower incurs amortization of intangible assets as a result of acquisitions, which includes in-process research and development, patents, project assets, purchased technology and trade names. SunPower excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of SunPower’s core businesses.
  • Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation relates primarily to SunPower stock awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. As a result of this unpredictability, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to measure the company’s core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation.
  • Restructuring charges. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company approved a company-wide restructuring program in order to accelerate operating cost reduction and improve overall operating efficiency. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and such costs have historically occurred infrequently. Although SunPower has engaged in restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from SunPower’s non-GAAP financial measures as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results or contribute to a meaningful evaluation of a company's past operating performance.
  • Total investment related costs. SunPower excludes expenses such as legal, banking and other professional services incurred in connection with Total Gas & Power USA, SAS’s investment in SunPower. SunPower excludes such charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from the investment made by Total and have no direct correlation to the operation of SunPower’s core businesses.
  • Amortization of promissory notes. Included in the total consideration for a prior acquisition completed on March 26, 2010 is $14 million in promissory notes to the acquiree’s management shareholders issued by SunPower. Since the vesting and payment of the promissory notes are contingent on future employment, the promissory notes are considered deferred compensation and therefore are not included in the purchase price allocated to the net assets acquired. SunPower excludes this non-cash charge over the service period required under the terms of the promissory notes because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of SunPower’s core businesses.
  • Loss on change in European government incentives. On May 5, 2011, the Italian government announced a legislative decree which defined the revised feed-in-tariff ("FIT") and the transition process effective June 1, 2011. The decree announced a decline in FIT and also set forth a limit on the construction of solar plants on agricultural land. Similarly, other European countries reduced government incentives for the solar market. Such changes had a materially negative effect on the market for solar systems in Europe and affected SunPower’s financial results as follows:
    • Restructuring. In response to reductions in European government incentives, which have had a significant impact on the global solar market, on June 13, 2011, SunPower’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to realign its resources. As a result, SunPower recorded restructuring charges during fiscal 2011. Restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities and such costs have historically occurred infrequently. Although SunPower has engaged in restructuring activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from SunPower’s non-GAAP financial measures as they are not reflective of ongoing operating results or contribute to a meaningful evaluation of a company's past operating performance.
    • Write-down of project assets. Project assets consist primarily of capitalized costs relating to solar power system projects in various stages of development that we incur prior to the sale of the solar power system to a third party. These costs include costs for land and costs for developing and constructing a solar power system. The fair market value of these project assets declined due to SunPower’s inability to develop, commercialize and sell active projects within Europe. Such charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures as they are related to a discrete event and are not reflective of ongoing operating results.
    • Third-party inventory charges. Charges relate to the write-down of third-party inventory and costs associated with the termination of above-market third-party solar cell supply contracts as the decline in European government incentives, primarily in Italy, has driven down demand and average selling price in certain areas of Europe. Such charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures as they are related to a discrete event and are not reflective of ongoing operating results.
    • Loss on foreign currency derivatives. SunPower has an active hedging program designed to reduce its exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As a part of this program, SunPower designates certain derivative transactions as effective cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency revenues and records the effective portion of changes in the fair value of such transactions in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the anticipated revenues have occurred, at which point the associated income or loss would be recognized in revenue. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, in connection with the decline in forecasted revenue surrounding the change in the Italian FIT, SunPower reclassified an amount held in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other income (expense), net for certain previously anticipated transactions which did not occur or were now probable not to occur. SunPower excludes this item as it is not reflective of ongoing operating results and excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company’s performance against the performance of other companies without such transactions.
  • Non-cash interest expense. SunPower separately accounted for the liability and equity components of its convertible debt issued in 2007 in a manner that reflected interest expense equal to its non-convertible debt borrowing rate. In addition, SunPower measured the two share lending arrangements entered into in connection with its convertible debt issued in 2007 at fair value and amortized the imputed share lending costs in current and prior periods. As a result, SunPower incurs interest expense that is substantially higher than interest payable on its 1.25% senior convertible debentures and 0.75% senior convertible debentures.


In addition, SunPower separately accounted for the fair value liabilities of the embedded cash conversion option and the over-allotment option on its 4.5% senior cash convertible debentures issued in 2010 as an original issue discount and a corresponding derivative conversion liability. As a result, SunPower incurs interest expense that is substantially higher than interest payable on its 4.5% senior cash convertible debentures. SunPower excludes non-cash interest expense because the expense is not reflective of its ongoing financial results in the period incurred. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company’s performance against the performance of other companies without non-cash interest expense.

  • Gain (loss) on mark-to-market derivative instruments. In connection with the issuance of its 4.5% senior cash convertible debentures in 2010, SunPower entered into certain convertible debenture hedge and warrant transactions with respect to its class A common stock intended to reduce the potential cash payments that would occur upon conversion of the debentures. The convertible debenture hedge and warrant transactions consisting of call option instruments are deemed to be mark-to-market derivatives until such transactions settle or expire. As of December 23, 2010, the warrant transactions were amended to be share-settled rather than cash-settled, therefore, the warrant transactions are not subject to mark-to-market accounting treatment subsequent to December 23, 2010. In addition, the embedded cash conversion option of the debt is deemed to be a mark-to-market derivative instrument during the period in which the cash convertible debt remains outstanding. Finally, the over-allotment option in favor of the debenture underwriters is deemed a mark-to-market derivative instrument during the period the over-allotment option remained unexercised, or from April 1, 2010 through April 5, 2010. SunPower excluded the net gain (loss) relating to the above mentioned derivative instruments from its non-GAAP results because it was not realized in cash and it is not reflective of the company’s ongoing financial results. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company’s performance against the performance of other companies without a net non-cash gain (loss) on mark-to-market derivative instruments.
  • Gain on change in equity interest in unconsolidated investee. On June 30, 2010, Woongjin Energy Co., Ltd (“Woongjin Energy”) completed its initial public offering and the sale of 15.9 million new shares of common stock. In the second quarter of 2011, Woongjin Energy issued additional equity to other investors. SunPower did not participate in these common stock issuances by Woongjin Energy. As a result of the new common stock issuances by Woongjin Energy, SunPower’s percentage equity interest in Woongjin Energy decreased and SunPower recognized a non-cash gain in both the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, representing the excess of the price over SunPower’s per share carrying value of its shares. SunPower excluded the non-cash gain from its non-GAAP results because it was not realized in cash and it is not reflective of its ongoing financial results. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare SunPower’s performance against the performance of other companies without non-cash income from a gain on change in its equity interest in unconsolidated investees.
  • Gain on sale of equity interest in unconsolidated investee. As noted in the “Gain on change in equity interest in unconsolidated investee” section above, SunPower previously excluded certain non-cash gains from its non-GAAP results.  During the third and fourth quarters of 2011, SunPower sold a portion of its equity interests in Woongjin Energy. As the gain on sale was now realized in cash, SunPower recognized an incremental gain on sale in its non-GAAP results based on the cumulative amount of gains previously excluded from non-GAAP results and the proportional amount of equity interests sold.
  • Tax effect. This amount is used to present each of the amounts described above on an after-tax basis with the presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.
  • Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. In connection with a prior acquisition completed on March 26, 2010, it acquired an already completed and operating solar power plant. In the period in which an asset of SunPower is classified as held-for-sale, it is required to present the related assets, liabilities and results of operations associated with that asset as discontinued operations in its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. During the second quarter of 2010, SunPower generated electricity revenue and incurred costs and expenses associated with this owned asset. The presentation of SunPower’s Consolidated Statements of Operations discloses the results of operations of the solar power plant as a one line item classification as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP. As such, the presentation of GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2010 excludes the results of these discontinued operations. SunPower reclassified the results of the solar power plant operations from the one line discontinued operations classification for GAAP purposes to the natural account classifications (revenue, etc.) within non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income. SunPower believes this reclassification of the solar power plant’s results of operations provides an appropriate representation of the results of SunPower's operations during the quarter in operating a solar power plant.


For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" set forth at the end of this release and which should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
