Correction: Complete Solar Announces Preliminary Q3’24 Results

OREM, Utah, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a press release issued under the same headline today by Complete Solar (Nasdaq: CSLR) please note that in the last paragraph, second to last sentence, the previously released $100 million revenue forecast was for Q4’24, not Q3’24. The corrected release follows:

Complete Solar Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Complete Solar (“Complete Solar” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CSLR), a solar technology, services, and installation company, today announced preliminary Q3’24 financial results of $117.3 million in revenue with a $42.0 million loss for the post-merger company combining CSLR and SunPower.

Complete Solar CEO, T.J. Rodgers said, “On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at our Orem, Utah HQ, we will present to over 1,000 employees the details of our Rev. 5 Annual Operating Plan for cutting headcount and other costs to achieve breakeven operating income in 2025. Since my style has always been to present and explain plans broadly to employees, I am releasing the headline information now to preempt any early dissemination of material non-public information prior to our formal November 13 report to shareholders, at which the final financial results will be presented for the old Complete Solar, which has already been merged into the Dealer Division of SunPower. We will also present the two-year “stub” financial results for the old SunPower divisions: New Homes, Blue Raven and Dealer:

Rodgers concluded, “Certain components of the Q3’24 results will not carry over directly into Q4’24, our first quarter after integration as “NewCo,” officially Nasdaq: CSLR. (We have won the right in court to use the SunPower brand in the future.) First, the $117.3 million Q3’24 revenue contains some revenues that will not repeat Q4’24. This is accounted for in our current formal Q4’24 revenue forecast of $100 million, as stated on the Complete Solar website. Second, we have already implemented a $25.8 million operating expense reduction in Q4’24. We will detail these efforts in our November 13 presentation to investors.”
