FTC Solar Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Third Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

Third quarter revenue of $53.0 million, up 5.8% q/q; nine-month revenue up 18% y/y; 
Added to executed contracts and awarded orders, now totaling $752 million YTD through Nov. 9*;   
Announced 1.7GW transaction to supply trackers to multiple projects in development by a leading project developer;
Awarded three new projects in Australia, including largest to-date, and first two projects in Africa;
Sean Hunkler named CEO; and
Continue to expect strong sequential revenue growth in Q4, despite project delays/push-outs.

 

AUSTIN, Texas — November 10, 2021 – FTC Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FTCI), a fast-growing global provider of solar tracker systems, software and engineering services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.  

“Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter came in toward the high-end of the company’s guidance range”, said Sean Hunkler, FTC Solar President and Chief Executive Officer, “with lower logistics and operating expenses offsetting lower than target revenue, as some production/revenue recognition shifted between periods.”

 

“As I cross the six-week mark as CEO, I’m excited by what I have seen so far and by the promising long-term prospects ahead for FTC Solar. We have strong and expanding customer relationships, underscored by our multi-year transaction with a leading project developer for a significant portion of the pipeline being developed by them – a first of its kind transaction for FTC Solar.  As part of the transaction, FTC intends to make a limited amount of development capital available to some of these projects. We also have numerous opportunities to add new customers both domestically and around the world. We are pleased to report that we’ve recently seen additional growth on this front, including our first two projects in Africa as well as three more projects awards in Australia, including our largest there to-date.

 

“These wins have supported our contracted and awarded order growth, which was up about 580% on a year-to-date basis to today, with another $267 million added since our most recent update as of August 1. Excluding the amount included in reported first-nine months revenue, executed contracts and awarded orders as of November 9 were $692 million, with expected delivery dates in 2021 and beyond. At this point, we’ve now added more revenue to our backlog in the last five months than we’ve reported in the history of the company to date.”

See reconciliations of all non-GAAP to GAAP measures presented in this release in the tables below.

 

*Includes amounts included in first nine months reported revenue. We define executed contracts and awarded orders as orders that have been documented and signed through a contract, where we are in the process of documenting a contract but for which a contract has not yet been signed, or that are subject to multi-project transactions, included as described herein. In the case of certain projects, including those that are scheduled for delivery on later dates, we have not locked in binding pricing with customers and we instead use estimated average selling price to calculate the revenue included in our executed contracts and awarded orders for such projects. Actual revenue for these projects could differ once contracts with binding pricing are executed. See press release text for current balance of executed contracts and awarded orders. 

 

Hunkler continued, “As we continue to win business and grow, our ability to maximize value for customers and stakeholders is of critical importance. Our sharp focus will be on operational excellence as we navigate the current commodity and logistics environment(s) and position ourselves for long-term growth and profitability. This includes our design-to-value initiative, which is sharply focused on improving project margin by reducing manufacturing and materials costs. Initial results from this initiative became evident in Q3, and these improvements are expected to be an increasing contributor to improved profitability in future quarters. The design-to-value initiative is also expected to leverage our emerging R&D pipeline where I see the potential to accelerate certain opportunities.”

 

Third Quarter 2021 Results 

Total third quarter revenue was $53.0 million, an increase of 5.8% compared to the prior quarter, on slightly higher product volume and higher ASP, and a decrease of approximately 11% compared with the third quarter of 2020, on lower product volume.  

  

GAAP Gross loss was $8.0 million compared to $16.1 million in the prior quarter, driven primarily by lower stock-based compensation relative to our first quarter as a public company, and lower logistics expense on fewer deliveries, and compared to a gross profit of $2.9 million in the prior year period, with the difference driven primarily by approximately $6 million in increased logistics expense that was not passed along to customers and a strong ramp up in employee count and other overhead expenses to support the company’s growth trajectory.  The logistics impact of $6 million in the third quarter was lower than the $12-$15 million indicated in the company’s guidance, with a portion shifting to the fourth quarter corresponding with the shift in production.

  

GAAP operating expenses were $14.7 million.  On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation and certain other expenses, operating expenses were $8.4 million, better than the company’s guidance range due to cost controls and timing between quarters, which compares to $5.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by necessary growth in staffing and operating as a public company.

 

 

 


 

GAAP net loss was $22.9 million or $0.24 per share, compared to a loss of $52.4 million,(a) or $0.61 per share in the prior quarter, and compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per share in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA loss, which excludes a $5.4 million impact of stock-based compensation, certain consulting and legal fees and other non-cash items, was $16.1 million. This was also better than the midpoint of the company’s guidance range, due to lower operating and shipping expenses. This result compares to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.7 million in the prior quarter and $2.1 million in the year-ago quarter.  

 

Fourth Quarter 2021 Outlook 

Looking ahead, the company continues to expect strong sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter. However, due to an abrupt delay of customer purchase order decisions from the fourth quarter into 2022, driven primarily by module pricing and availability uncertainty, on top of already elevated commodity and logistics pricing in the marketplace, our revenue expectations for the fourth quarter are now lower than our prior target, as anticipated revenue pushes to subsequent periods. Importantly, the company views this as merely a delay, not a loss, of this business. Overall, we continue to see strong demand for our products with our contracted and awarded orders growing at a healthy clip and our overall project pipeline at record levels.

 

For the fourth quarter, the company currently expects:

Assumptions:

Utilization of break-bulk shipping beginning in the fourth quarter should help to mitigate margin impacts;
Anticipated logistics impact to the fourth quarter is approximately $3-5 million;

 

This outlook would result in full year revenue between $239-$249 million , representing growth of 27%-33%.

Because of these limitations, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expense, Non-GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share (Adjusted EPS) should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. These Non-GAAP financial measures, when presented, are reconciled to the most closely applicable GAAP measure as disclosed below.

Notes to Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Nearest Comparable GAAP Measures

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus (i) income tax (benefit) or expense, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) amortization of debt issuance costs, (vi) stock-based compensation (vii) gain on extinguishment of debt, (viii) gain from disposal in equity investment, (ix) non-routine legal fees, (x) severance, (xi) other costs and (xii) loss from unconsolidated subsidiary. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) amortization of debt issuance costs (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) gain on extinguishment of debt, (v) gain from disposal in equity investment, (vi) non-routine legal fees, (vii) severance, (viii) other costs, (ix) loss from unconsolidated subsidiary and (x) income tax expense of adjustments. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share using the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding.



Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted EPS are intended as supplemental measures of performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted EPS because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on an ongoing basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Loss and Adjusted EPS to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

 

(a) During the third quarter, the Company identified prior quarter errors related to basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation and overstated stock-based compensation. Although Management concluded these errors were not material to the prior quarter interim financial statements, the Company is correcting these errors by revising the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and presenting the effect of the revision adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. References herein to prior quarter net loss has been revised to reflect the decrease of $3.4 million in stock-based compensation and the increase of $0.09 in earnings per share. (See Footnote 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in our filing of our Q3 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)
