      --Achieved Key Distributed Generation and Utility-Scale Milestones--
      --US Manufacturing Initiative Approaching Key Site Selection and Financing Milestones--

      SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2022 /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 third quarter ended October 2, 2022.

      Maxeon's Interim Chief Executive Officer Mark Babcock noted, "Maxeon delivered Q3 financial results consistent with guidance and achieved key strategic milestones in both our distributed generation (DG) and utility-scale businesses. In Europe, DG posted another record quarter for volume, revenue and beyond the panel product contributions. These factors drove improved financial results for the Company overall, and the business trajectory is expected to facilitate overall break-even gross margins in the fourth quarter. The DG business also executed on strategic expansion initiatives in the United States which are expected to help Maxeon achieve overall profitability next year. Specifically, we secured the first bookings with our new residential partner Greentech Renewables."

      Commenting on the utility-scale business, Babcock added, "The North America Utility-Scale business continues to expand shipment volume with multiple daily deliveries from Mexico to our customers in the United States, and our Malaysian PERC cell fab has now ramped to over one gigawatt of capacity. We are confident that the completion of our full capacity ramp in 2023 and the transition to our higher ASP contracted backlog will meaningfully improve the profitability of this business."

      Babcock continued, "Our teams are executing well and we are excited by the trajectory toward achievement of our Long-Term Financial Model within 2023. As our line of sight on this transformation becomes clearer, we are accelerating major growth initiatives for 2024 to 2026 topline growth and EBITDA expansion. In DG, we are expecting to ship our first storage units next quarter. In utility-scale, we're approaching key site selection and  DOE Loan Guarantee Program Office milestones for our proposed 3 gigawatt U.S. cell and module facility. In Summary, we believe we are in an excellent position to continue our growth trajectory beyond 2023.

      (2)   

      The Company's use of Non-GAAP financial information, including a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, is provided under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.



      (3)  

      The Adjusted EBITDA for three months ended October 3, 2021 did not contain an adjustment for equity in losses of unconsolidated investees and related gain on such equity investment. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Loss for the three months ended October 3, 2021, please refer to our Forms 6-K furnished with the SEC on November 17, 2021.

      (1)  

      Relates to the difference between our contractual cost for the polysilicon under the long-term fixed supply agreements with our supplier which is ending in January 2023 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 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. As the sales were committed during the three months ended April 4, 2022, the loss on firm purchase commitment in connection to the ancillary sales to be delivered in subsequent quarters was provided then.



      Fourth Quarter 2022 Outlook

      For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company anticipates the following results:

      (In millions, except shipments)

       Outlook

      Shipments, in MW

      680 - 720 MW

      Revenue

      $(17) - $(27)

      Capital expenditures(5)

      $16 - $20

      Out-of-market polysilicon cost(1)

      $1



      (1)  

      Outlook for Gross (loss) profit, Non-GAAP gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA includes out-of-market polysilicon cost.



      (2)  

      The Company's Non-GAAP gross profit is impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense.



      (3)  

      The Company's Non-GAAP operating expenses are impacted by the effects of adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and restructuring charges and fees.



      (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 the prepaid forward and the equity in gain or loss of unconsolidated investees.



      (5)  

      Capital expenditures are directed mainly to upgrading production 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 developing Maxeon 7 technology and operating a pilot line.  We are evaluating our Maxeon 7 capacity growth plan, and because of that our previous capex indication for retrofitting Maxeon 3 production lines is no longer relevant.



      These anticipated results for the fourth quarter of 2022 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. Please refer to Forward Looking Statements section below. Management's views and estimates are subject to change without notice.

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      We present certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross 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, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment and equity in losses of unconsolidated investees ("Adjusted EBITDA") to supplement our consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross loss is defined as gross 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 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 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 charges and fees. We incur restructuring 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 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.

      • Loss related to settlement of price escalation dispute. This relates to loss arising from the settlement of price escalation dispute with a polysilicon supplier related to our long-term, firm commitment polysilicon supply agreement. This is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure as it is non-recurring and not reflective of ongoing operating results. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to exclude such charges as the loss does not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our past operating performance.

      The Adjusted EBITDA for three months ended October 3, 2021 did not contain an adjustment for equity in losses of unconsolidated investees
      and related gain on such equity investment. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Loss for the three months ended October 3,
      2021, please refer to our Forms 6-K furnished with the SEC on November 17, 2021.



      (2)

      The loss on extinguishment of debt relates to the loss that arose from the termination of our $50.0 million working capital facility in September
      2021 and the expiration of the availability period for draw down of our $75.0 million term loans in August 2021. This is excluded from Adjusted
      EBITDA because it is not considered part of core operating activities given that such activities are discrete events based on unique sets of
      business objectives.
