FTC Solar Announces Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

  • Fourth quarter revenue of $13.2 million, at the high end of our prior target
  • Entered into 5-gigawatt supply arrangement with Recurrent Energy
  • Awarded 330+ megawatt project in Australia from GPG Naturgy
  • Awarded 280-megawatt project in U.S. from Rosendin
  • Appointed industry veteran Kent James as U.S. Chief Commercial Officer
  • Received additional $3.2 million earn-out on prior investment post quarter end
  • Announced upsizing of promissory note offering for up to additional $10-$15 mil. to close in Q2

/EIN News/ -- AUSTIN, Texas, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  FTC Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FTCI), a leading provider of solar tracker systems, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter that ended December 31, 2024.

“In addition to reporting favorable quarterly results relative to our targets, I’m pleased to say that we have had a number of recent wins and building momentum,” said Yann Brandt, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTC Solar. “Last quarter I highlighted a new 1-gigawatt supply agreement with Dunlieh Energy, a 500+ megawatt supply agreement with Strata Clean Energy, additional detail on a 1-gigawatt agreement with Sandhills Energy, a $15 million note placement and a $4.7 million cash earn-out on a prior investment. Building on those successes, today we announced several additional wins, including a new 5-gigawatt supply arrangement with Recurrent Energy, a 330+ megawatt project award from GPG Naturgy, a 280-megawatt project award from Rosendin, an additional earn-out payment, and an upsizing to our promissory note offering.

“During the first six months of my tenure, we have been focused on shoring up our near-term backlog. In aggregate we have added multiples of our current annual revenue run rate to our backlog, signing several gigawatts of agreements with Tier 1 accounts along with other awards, added more than $30 million in additional liquidity to our balance sheet, strengthened our sales team with new hires including Kent James, further strengthened our product offering and capabilities and increased our commercial traction with bids on many gigawatts of future projects.

“I believe that FTC Solar is in an incredibly fortunate situation in many respects with products that customers love, a business they enjoy working with, a cost structure that will enable strong margin growth and profitability, and a compelling 1P product set that opens up the 85% of the market that wasn’t available to us in the past. We believe our revenue bottomed in Q3, we saw growth in Q4, expect growth in Q1, and have been winning many new awards that we believe will help us ramp our revenue, achieve adjusted EBITDA breakeven, and become a strong and significant competitor in the industry.”

Reflecting net purchase order additions and adjustments since November 12, 2024, the contracted portion of the company's backlog1 now stands at approximately $502 million. 

Fourth Quarter Results
Total fourth-quarter revenue was $13.2 million, within our target range. This revenue level represents an increase of 30.2% compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of 43.1% compared to the year-earlier quarter due to lower product volumes.

GAAP gross loss was $3.8 million, or 29.1% of revenue, compared to gross loss of $4.3 million, or 42.5% of revenue, in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP gross loss was $3.4 million or 25.6% of revenue. The result for this quarter compares to non-GAAP gross profit of $1.1 million in the prior-year period, with the difference driven primarily by the impact of lower current quarter revenues which were not sufficient to cover certain fixed indirect costs.

GAAP operating expenses were $9.6 million. On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses were $7.4 million. This result compares to non-GAAP operating expenses of $10.8 million in the year-ago quarter. 

GAAP net loss was $12.2 million or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $15.4 million or $1.21 per diluted share in the prior quarter (post-split) and a net loss of $11.2 million or $0.89 per diluted share (post-split) in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA loss, which excludes an approximate $2.4 million net loss from stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash items, was $9.8 million, compared to losses of $12.2 million(2) in the prior quarter and $10.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Subsequent Events
The company announced today a number of agreements, awards or other items which occurred subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, including: 

  • A 5-gigawatt supply arrangement with Recurrent Energy. Recurrent is one of the world’s largest and most geographically diversified utility-scale solar developers. The projects are expected to be located in the U.S., Europe and Australia and utilize a combination of our 1P and 2P tracker technologies. It’s anticipated that the first project revenue under this arrangement will begin in the second half of 2025.
  • A 333-megawatt project award from GPG, the power generation subsidiary of multinational energy leader Naturgy, which operates in more than 20 countries with 16 million customers. The project, which is located in Australia, will utilize our 1P Pioneer tracker and is expected to begin tracker production in mid-2025.
  • A 280-megawatt project award from Rosendin, a top 5 EPC and the largest employee-owned electrical contractor in the U.S. The project, which is located on the U.S. West Coast, will also utilize our 1P Pioneer solution and is expected to begin tracker production in mid-2025. 
  • A $3.2 million earn-out on the company’s prior investment in Dimension Energy. The payment, which was received in the first quarter of 2025, brings the total escrow release and earn-outs received since 2021 to more than $15 million.
  • And finally, on March 4, 2024, the company entered into a binding term sheet to upsize the previously announced promissory note offering. Under the terms of the upsized agreement the company will issue to the Investor, in a private placement, senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to an additional $10-$15 million dollars and common stock purchase warrants. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter. This is in addition to the $15 million received in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Outlook
For the first quarter, we expect revenue at the midpoint of our guidance range to be up approximately 44% relative to the fourth quarter.

Footnotes
1. The term ‘backlog’ or ‘contracted and awarded’ refers to the combination of our executed contracts (contracted) and awarded orders (awarded), which are 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 have been awarded in writing or verbally with a mutual understanding that the order will be contracted in the future. 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 contracted and awarded orders for such projects. Actual revenue for these projects could differ once contracts with binding pricing are executed, and there is also a risk that a contract may never be executed for an awarded but uncontracted project, or that a contract may be executed for an awarded but uncontracted project at a date that is later than anticipated, or that a contract once executed may be subsequently amended, supplemented, rescinded, cancelled or breached, including in a manner that impacts the timing and amounts of payments due thereunder, thus reducing anticipated revenues. Please refer to our SEC filings, including our Form 10-K, for more information on our contracted and awarded orders, including risk factors.
2. A reconciliation of prior quarter Non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures may be found in Exhibit 99.1 of our Form 8-K filed on November 12, 2024.
3. We do not provide a quantitative reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP guidance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those measures is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying these measures as a result of changes in project schedules by our customers that may occur, which are outside of our control, and the impact, if any, of credit loss provisions, asset impairment charges, restructuring or changes in the timing and level of indirect or overhead spending, as well as other matters, that could occur which could significantly impact the related GAAP financial measures.

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

We utilize Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) loss from changes in fair value of our warrant liability, and (vii) Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") transition costs, non-routine legal fees, costs associated with our reverse stock split, severance and certain other costs (credits). We also deduct the contingent gains arising from earnout payments and project escrow releases relating to the disposal of our investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and gains from changes in fair value of our warrant liability from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss plus (i) amortization of debt discount and issue costs and intangibles, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) loss from changes in fair value of our warrant liability, (iv) CEO transition costs, non-routine legal fees, costs associated with our reverse stock split, severance and certain other costs (credits), and (v) the income tax expense (benefit) of those adjustments, if any. We also deduct the contingent gains arising from earnout payments and project escrow releases relating to the disposal of our investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and gains from change in fair value of our warrant liability from net loss in arriving at Adjusted Net Loss. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Loss on a per share basis using our weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP gross profit (loss), Non-GAAP operating expense, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted 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 these non-GAAP measures, many of which are commonly used by investors and analysts, because we believe they assist those 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 Net Loss and Adjusted EPS to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

Non-GAAP gross profit (loss), Non-GAAP operating expense, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and 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.

The following table reconciles Non-GAAP gross profit (loss) to the most closely related GAAP measure for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

(a) We exclude the gain from collections of contingent contractual amounts arising from the sale in 2021 of our investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary as these amounts are not considered part of our normal ongoing operations.
(b) We exclude non-cash changes in the fair value of our outstanding warrants as we do not consider such changes to impact or reflect changes in our core operating performance.
(c) In connection with hiring a new CEO in August 2024, we agreed to upfront and incremental sign-on bonuses (collectively, the "sign-on bonuses"), a portion of which was paid to our CEO in 2024, with clawback provisions during 2025 and 2026, and a portion of which will be paid in 2025 and 2026, all contingent upon continued employment as of the payment date. These sign-on bonuses will be expensed each period through October 1, 2026, to reflect the required service periods. We do not view these sign-on bonuses as being part of the normal on-going compensation arrangements for our CEO.

(e) We incurred incremental legal and professional fees to implement a reverse stock split that was consummated effective November 29, 2024. We do not consider these fees to be part of our normal ongoing operations.
(f) Severance costs were incurred during 2024 and 2023, due to restructuring changes involuntarily impacting a number of employees each period, to adjust our operations to reflect current market and activity levels and to take advantage of process efficiencies gained.
(g) Prior year shares and amounts, as applicable, have been revised to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split, effective November 29, 2024.
