Pineapple Energy Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Revenue up 28% from Q4 2022
  • Gross profit up 60% from Q4 2022
  • Positive adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from continuing operations
  • $7.6 million of cash, restricted cash and investments

MINNETONKA, Minn., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGY), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and back-up power to households and small businesses, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Pineapple CEO Kyle Udseth commented, “The strength of our Q1 results – the first full quarter with SUNation in the fold – showcases the value of our acquisition strategy and demonstrates our ability to execute operationally in integrating our businesses and driving accelerated performance. We’re ahead of schedule on our organic growth initiatives, and more importantly we reached the critical milestone of positive operating cash flow from continuing operations even earlier than we’d been forecasting. This is a huge step for Pineapple and is a testament to the strong performance of both our HEC and E-Gear businesses in Hawaii and our SUNation business in New York. I want to express my gratitude to all our employees for their hard work in getting the company to this key point. We’re excited about our momentum and look forward to reporting consistently positive results in the quarters ahead.”

First Quarter Business Highlights

  • Strong operating metrics in all geographies (pro forma Q1 2023 vs pro forma Q1 2022)
    • kW sold +60%
    • kW installed +52%
    • Sales referral rate of 50%
    • Battery attachment rate of 40%
  • Solid sequential growth in revenue and gross profit; positive cash flow from continuing operations and positive pro forma adjusted EBITDA
  • Launched “new build” strategy: SUNation awarded contract with Baiting Hollow Development Group, to outfit sustainable homes
  • E-Gear licensed proprietary Energy Management Controller to energy storage leader Eguana
  • Started program with Suffolk County Community College for labor force training
  • Rang the Closing Bell at Nasdaq to commemorate one-year listing anniversary

Subsequent Events

  • In April 2023, SUNation reached the milestone of 100 MW of solar installed since its founding.

First Quarter 2023 GAAP Results from Continuing Operations1

 1st Quarter 20234th Quarter 20221st Quarter 20223
Revenue$22,065,424 $17,183,617 $231,868 
Gross Profit$8,006,315 $5,005,122 $65,708 
Operating Expense$10,155,841 $8,550,236 $1,599,718 
Net Loss$(2,599,672)$(539,502)$(1,889,536)
Cash, restricted cash & investments2$7,610,981 $7,923,244 $10,506,026 
Diluted Loss per Share($0.26)($0.06)($0.58)

1 Includes continuing operations and excludes discontinued operations.

2 Includes restricted cash and liquid investments of $4,190,567 as of March 31, 2023, and $4,463,089 as of December 31, 2022, earmarked for payment of contingent value rights.

3 As the determination for discontinued operations was made on December 31, 2022, the 1st Quarter 2022 numbers have been adjusted to reflect continuing operations only.

Note that due to the timing of the acquisition of SUNation, fourth quarter 2022 GAAP results include only 53 days of SUNation operations.

Below, all figures are for the first quarter of 2023 unless noted otherwise. All comparisons are to the fourth quarter of 2022, unless otherwise noted. Comparisons with first quarter of 2022 GAAP results are not meaningful because Q1 2022 included only 3 days of meaningful operations.   

Revenue of $22.1 million was up 28% sequentially and gross profit of $8.0 million was up 60% sequentially as Q1 2023 represented the first full quarter of SUNation results.

Operating expenses of $10.2 million were up 19% sequentially, driven by a full quarter of SUNation and a $825 thousand unfavorable fair value remeasurement of the SUNation earnout consideration. Fourth quarter 2022 operating expenses included one-time items related to the SUNation acquisition.

Net loss of $2.6 million or $(0.26) per diluted share was greater sequentially due to a $3.34 million favorable fair value remeasurement of the contingent value right liability in the fourth quarter of 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $7.6 million. Of that amount, $4.2 million was held as restricted cash and investments that can only be used for the legacy CSI business and will be distributed to holders of contingent value rights (“CVRs”).

First Quarter 2023 Pro Forma Comparisons

To facilitate analysis of the Company’s operating business, below is an unaudited pro forma presentation of results as if the Company had completed the SUNation merger, the CSI merger, and the HEC/E-Gear asset acquisition as of January 1, 2022.

  Three Months Ended March 31
  2023   2022 
Revenue$             22,065,424  $             13,794,605 
Net Loss (2,597,652)  (2,634,695)
      
Adjusted EBITDA*                 372,802   (880,910)

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Pro Forma Results and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations in this release for further information.

Pro forma revenue was up 60% due to a 52% increase in kWs installed and an increase in residential battery attach rates.

Pro forma adjusted EBITDA increased $1.25 million driven by increased EBITDA at both SUNation and HEC/E-Gear, offset by a slight increase in corporate expenses.

The unaudited pro forma financial information above is not necessarily indicative of consolidated results of operations of the combined business had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the respective period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the combined company. The above unaudited pro forma results are not adjusted for the level of corporate overhead costs needed to support the go-forward strategy and instead include a higher cost structure based on operating legacy businesses and the structure in place while carrying out plans to complete the CSI merger transaction. The unaudited pro forma financial information above includes adjustments to amortization expense for intangible assets totaling $0 and $838,161 and excludes transaction costs totaling $2,020 and $2,698,548 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Outlook

For the full year 2023, the Company reiterates its revenue guidance of $80 to $85 million, positive adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations in 2023.

Status of Contingent Value Rights
The CVR liability as of March 31, 2023, was estimated at $7,652,714 and represents the estimated fair value as of that date of the legacy CSI assets to be distributed to CVR holders.

Pro Forma Results and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes unaudited pro forma information, which represents the results of operations as if the Company had completed the CSI merger, the HEC and E-Gear asset acquisitions and the SUNation acquisition as of January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented in this press release is not necessarily indicative of consolidated results of operations of the combined business had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the respective period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the combined company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to amortization expense for intangible assets totaling $0 and $838,161, respectively, and excludes transaction costs totaling $2,020 and $2,698,548, respectively.

This press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this release, and is net loss, on a pro forma basis calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for pro forma interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, gain on sale of assets, and non-cash fair value remeasurement adjustments as detailed in the reconciliations presented below in this press release.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because the Company believes they are useful indicators of its operating performance. Management uses these measures principally as measures of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating plan and financial projections. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as supplemental information and because they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, their respective GAAP financial measures, as measures of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP financial measures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
