Reaffirms expectations for total revenue of $95-100 million in 2023, a 24-31% increase over 2022

iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN) (the “Company,” or “iSun”), a leading solar energy and clean mobility infrastructure company with 50 years of experience accelerating the adoption of innovative electrical technologies, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2023.

Quarterly Highlights

  • Revenue of $17.4 million, up 15% from Q122, as commercial and industrial execution drives growth
  • Gross profit of $3.5 million, up 12% from Q122
  • Gross margin of 20.5%, down slightly from 21% in 2022’s first quarter
  • Operating expenses reduced by $2.7 million with focus on efficiency
  • Awarded $32.0 million in new solar and EV infrastructure contracts in 2023

Management Commentary

“Our momentum as we begin 2023 is strong, as evidenced by our 15% increase in revenues for the first quarter driven by commercial and industrial execution, as well as our $32.0 million in new contract wins,” said Jeffrey Peck, Chief Executive Officer of iSun. “Our business development teams are engaging with more potential customers, and their efforts are gaining us opportunities across the alternative energy spectrum. We are already seeing the results of our focus on higher efficiency this year, as our operating expenses declined by $2.7 million from last year’s first quarter. All these efforts provide us the confidence to reaffirm our annual revenue guidance for 2023, as we work diligently to implement and complete our many projects.”

First Quarter Results

iSun reported first quarter 2023 revenue of $17.4 million, up 15% from $15.1 million in the same period in 2022. Revenue growth for the first quarter of 2023 was driven primarily by the fulfillment of our residential backlog and multiple commercial and industrial projects receiving notice to proceed; total backlog was $178.8 million as of March 31, 2023. iSun also generated new future demand by adding $32.0 million in new business during the first quarter, primarily driven by strong demand in commercial and industrial services as well as for project origination and design services.

Divisional highlights as of March 31, 2023, include:

  • Residential division generated revenue of $6.9 million in the first quarter. Customer orders of approximately $17.9 million are expected to be completed within three to five months.
  • The commercial and industrial division, which were consolidated as of January 1, 2023, generated revenue of $10.3 million in the first quarter and the division has a contracted backlog of approximately $152.9 million expected to be completed within 10-18 months.
  • Utility and development division generated revenue of $0.2 million in the first quarter. The Utility division has a contracted backlog of approximately $8.0 million and 1.6 GW of projects currently under development expected to achieve NTP in 2023 and early 2024.

Gross profit in the first quarter was $3.5 million up 12% from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin for the quarter was 20.5%, down 50 basis points from 21.0% in the same period in 2022. Margin is expected to recover in Q2 consistent with the planned increase in residential implementations. As synergies among the company’s segments grow, gross margin is expected to continue to strengthen each year.

The operating loss in the first quarter was ($2.7) million, a 54% improvement compared to a loss of ($5.7) million in 2022’s first quarter, primarily reflecting the higher revenues and sharply lower operating expenses as part of the company’s efficiency focus. Non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses were $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $1.8 million in prior year period.

iSun reported a net loss of ($3.0) million, or ($0.19) per share, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of ($2.9) million, or ($0.23) per share, in the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was a loss of $1.5 million or $0.19 per share, compared to a loss of $0.1 million or $0.01 per share in 2022’s first quarter.

Outlook

iSun’s continuing success in winning new business, from solar projects to EV infrastructure and project origination and development services, along with its sizable and growing backlog, is expected to enable the company to produce total revenue of $95-100 million for the full year 2023, representing a 24-31% increase over total revenues of $76.5 million in 2022. With the early, positive results from its focus on efficiency, iSun also anticipates continued gross margin expansion and adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of 2023.

Added Mr. Peck, “We remain confident that our full portfolio of capabilities positions us increasingly well to accelerate our growth in the evolving alternative energy sector, as demonstrated by our continued success in winning significant contracts with existing and new customers. Our platform delivers a much-needed suite of services that meets the needs of a variety of customers and our team brings the expertise to execute efficiently on our customers’ needs. Now that our country’s energy policy has been established for the next 10 years through the IRA legislation passed last summer, we expect those macroeconomic factors to help us scale our operations significantly in the next few years, and thus generate steadily higher revenue and reach operating profitability.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to net loss in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other expenses, certain legal services costs, professional and consulting fees and expenses, and one-time Reverse Merger and Recapitalization expenses and certain adjustments. We believe that these non-GAAP measures illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures, particularly Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our performance would have material limitations because such calculations are based on a subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. We compensate for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our operating results. Although other companies may report measures entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar in nature, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s Adjusted EBITDA or similar measures. As a result, the methods that we use to calculate Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are shown in the table below:
