Sunlight Financial Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

- Year-over-Year Funded Loan Volume up 77% to $639 Million -

- Year-over-Year Total Revenue up 72% to $30 Million -

- GAAP Net Loss of $(22.2) Million -

- Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubles to $11.4 Million -

Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc. (“Sunlight Financial”, "Sunlight" or the “Company”) (NYSE: SUNL), a premier, technology-enabled point-of-sale financing company, today provided financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“Sunlight continued to see outstanding year-over-year growth in the third quarter of 2021 with Funded Loan Volume up 77% to $639 million," said Matt Potere, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlight. "Although industry-wide issues with supply chains, labor shortages and permitting delays lengthened project installation timelines and impacted funded loans, an increase in our Total Platform Fee Margin to 4.3% partially offset this impact, leading to record-high Total Revenue of $30 million in the third quarter of 2021."

"Our industry-leading credit quality enabled us to add three new capital providers and improve pricing with our existing capital providers this quarter, driving margin improvement and allowing us to offer more attractive pricing to our contractors," added Mr. Potere. "We also launched non-prime solar and home improvement products and improved operational efficiency in Orange® through Robotic Process Automation. Through these and other efforts to build contractor loyalty, we have signed exclusive first look and volume commitments representing over $1 billion of expected funded loan volume in 2022, positioning Sunlight for continued, sustainable growth."

All financial and operating results included in this release reflect the summation of results of the accounting predecessor, Sunlight Financial LLC, from July 1 through July 9 and the successor, Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc., from July 10 through September 30, to reflect the completion of the business combination with Spartan Acquisition Corp. II (“Spartan”), which occurred on July 9, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Key Financial Metrics

  • Total Funded Loans of $639 million, up 77% from the prior-year period
  • Total Revenue of $30.0 million, a 72% increase from the prior-year period
  • GAAP Net Loss of $(22.2) million, relative to GAAP Net Income of $4.1 million in the prior-year period, driven by non-cash business combination-related accounting
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million, a 97% increase from $5.8 million in the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 37.9%, up materially from 33.1% in the prior-year period
  • Total Platform Fee Margin of 4.3% (up from 4.0% in the prior quarter) and Direct Channel Platform Fee Margin of 5.0% (up from 4.3% in the prior quarter)
  • Free Cash Flow of $4.8 million and cumulative year-to-date Free Cash Flow of $28.8 million

Third Quarter 2021 Key Operational Metrics

  • Number of borrowers increased to 18,189, up 65% from 11,020 borrowers in the prior-year period
  • Contractor relationships grew 54% relative to the prior-year period, with 30 new solar contractors and 62 new home improvement contractors joining the Sunlight platform in the third quarter of 2021
  • Battery attachment rate grew to 24%, compared with 14% in the prior-year period
  • Average loan balance increased 8% year-over-year to $35,398, with a record-high average solar loan balance of $40,991 in the third quarter of 2021
  • As of September 30, 2021, Sunlight had a cumulative funded loan total of $5.4 billion

Full-Year 2021 Outlook

Due to the industry-wide challenges with supply chain, labor, and permitting experienced in the third quarter 2021 and expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2021, Sunlight is reducing its full-year 2021 expectation for Total Funded Loans to $2.45 - $2.55 billion.

As Sunlight expects continued platform fee margin improvement in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company is affirming the following previously-provided guidance ranges for full-year 2021 Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin:

  • Expected 2021 Total Revenue of $113 - $121 million
  • Expected 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of $46 - $51 million
  • Expected 2021 Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 38% - 42%

The mid-points of the 2021 outlook reflect robust year-over-year growth of 70% for funded loans, 68% for Total Revenue, and 102% for Adjusted EBITDA relative to full-year 2020 actual results.

Sunlight will initiate full-year 2022 guidance on its fourth quarter 2021 earnings call in March 2022.

Conference Call Information

Sunlight will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its third quarter 2021 financial and operational results and business outlook at 5:00 PM ET today, November 15, 2021. The conference call will be webcast live from the Company's investor relations website at ir.sunlightfinancial.com. A replay will be available on the investor relations website following the call.

Earnings Presentation

Forward-Looking Statements

The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Sunlight disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. Sunlight cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Sunlight. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected operating and financial information with respect to Sunlight; risks related to Sunlight’s business and the timing of expected business milestones or results; global supply chain shortages, competition for skilled labor, and permitting delays; the effects of competition and regulatory risks, and the impacts of changes in legislation or regulations on Sunlight’s future business; the expiration, renewal, modification or replacement of the federal solar investment tax credit, rebates and other incentives; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Sunlight’s business or future results; Sunlight’s ability to sustain profitability and to attract and retain its relationships with third parties, including Sunlight’s capital providers and solar contractors; changes in the retail prices of traditional utility generated electricity; the availability of solar panels, batteries and other components and raw materials; and such other risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Sunlight’s Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 15, 2021, and other documents of Sunlight filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Sunlight’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the operating and financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Sunlight believes these non-GAAP measures of financial and business results provide useful information to management and the reader regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Sunlight’s financial condition and results of operations. Sunlight further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial and business measures provides an additional tool for use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing Sunlight’s financial and operating measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial and operating measures to their investors and potential investors. While Adjusted EBITDA, in particular, is relevant and widely used across industries and in the industries in which Sunlight participates, they may contain or exclude adjustments, exclusions and one-time items that third parties may or may not adjust for in connection with such measure, and such measure should not be considered an alternative to any GAAP measures in evaluating the profitability of an investment in, or whether to invest in or consummate a transaction involving, Sunlight. The principal limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant items of income and expense that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Sunlight’s financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Sunlight’s management about which items of income and expense are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. The Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measure and other metrics used herein, including Adjusted EBITDA Margin, should not be relied on or considered an alternative to any GAAP measures or other measures related to the liquidity, financial condition or financial results of Sunlight. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this release.
