SAN JOSE, Calif.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jul. 23, 2009  /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWRA)(NASDAQ: SPWRB) today announced financial results for its 2009 second quarter which ended June 28, 2009. Revenue for the 2009 second quarter was $298 million which compares to revenues of $214 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $383 million in the second quarter of 2008. The company's Components and Systems segments accounted for 63% and 37% of second-quarter 2009 revenue, respectively.

"Our second-quarter results reflect the continued success of our diversified segment and market strategy as we benefited from the further growth in our dealer network and executed on our large scale project commitments," said Tom Werner, SunPower's CEO. "Additionally, our operational focus during the quarter enabled us to show progress in reducing inventory levels and in controlling variable expenses. Our long-term strategy to build our brand based on superior experience, technology and return is paying off. As a result, we have successfully adjusted pricing to maintain market share and our price premium.

"Overall, we recorded solid second-quarter results in a demand driven market, consistent with our operating plan. In all of our markets, we are encouraged by the improving industry trends we are seeing in both end demand and financing and we are well positioned for further growth in the second half of the year and 2010. Our manufacturing costs are competitive today and we are ahead of plan to achieve our cost reduction goals. Customers continue to choose SunPower due to our superior roof top and power plant experience, industry leading performance of our solar panels and tracking technology, and our ability to drive attractive project returns for our customers."

On a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) basis for the 2009 second quarter, SunPower reported gross margin of 19.6%, operating income of $9.9 million and net income per share of $0.26. GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009 includes a $21.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, non-taxable gain related to the company's recent securities offering and a $5.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for non-cash interest charges associated with the adoption of the new FSP APB 14-1 accounting rule, which impacts how companies account for interest expense on convertible bonds.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude non-cash charges for amortization of intangible assets of $4.1 million, stock-based compensation of $11.6 million and non-cash interest expense of $5.9 million, SunPower reported total gross margin of 22.6%. Gross margin for the second quarter was negatively impacted by approximately $12 million from lower factory utilization due to the company's planned transition to a demand driven manufacturing strategy, which successfully focused on reducing inventory levels. Operating income for the quarter was $26.8 million and net income per diluted share was $0.24. This compares with first quarter 2009 non-GAAP gross margin of 24.3%, operating income of $11.5 million and $0.05 net income per diluted share. For the 2009 second quarter, the Components segment non-GAAP gross margin was 24.6% and Systems segment gross margin was 18.9%.

Diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2009 reflect the impact of the company's recent capital raise completed May 5, 2009.

2009 Guidance

The company adjusted its fiscal year 2009 total company non-GAAP guidance as follows: total revenue of $1.35 billion to $1.7 billion, which compares to previous guidance of $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion, net income per diluted share of $1.15 to $1.60 and production of approximately 400 megawatts. The company's 2009 capital expenditure outlook remains unchanged at $250 million to $300 million. Full year 2009 non-GAAP earnings per share guidance was adjusted to reflect the capital raise completed issuance of equity and convertible debt in May 2009.

"Our current pipeline and backlog gives us confidence that we will be able to meet our second half 2009 guidance. This confidence stems from a number of large systems we expect to have financed in the third quarter, as well as the positive trends we are seeing in the commercial and residential segments," said Dennis Arriola, SunPower's CFO.

For fiscal year 2009, the company expects the following total company GAAP results: revenue of $1.35 billion to $1.7 billion and net income per diluted share of $0.45 to $0.90. GAAP earnings per share guidance includes a $0.21 per share one-time, non-taxable gain related to the company's recent offering and an approximately $0.12 expense for non-cash charges related to the company's previous adoption of FASB accounting rule FSB APB 14-1.

Segment Reporting Information

For second-quarter 2009 reporting purposes, the Systems segment generally represents products and services sold directly to the system owner. Additionally, both SunPower and third-party solar panels sold through the Systems segment channels are recorded as Systems segment revenue. The Components segment primarily represents products sold to installers and resellers.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, SunPower uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude non-cash charges related to amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, interest expense, and their related tax effects. Management does not consider these charges in evaluating the core operational activities of SunPower. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate SunPower's current performance. Most analysts covering SunPower use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, SunPower believes these measures are important to investors in understanding SunPower's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in SunPower's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Fiscal Periods

The Company reports on a fiscal-year basis and ends its quarters on the Sunday closest to the end of the applicable calendar quarter, except in a 53-week fiscal year, in which case the additional week falls into the fourth quarter of that fiscal year. Fiscal year 2009 consists of 53 weeks while fiscal year 2008 consisted of 52 weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended on June 28, 2009 and the second quarter of fiscal 2008 ended on June 29, 2008.

  About SunPower's Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, SunPower uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude non-cash charges related to amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and interest expense, non-cash gain on purchased options related to the Company's convertible debt offering, and the related tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. The specific non-GAAP measures listed below are gross margin, operating income and net income per share. Management believes that each of these non-GAAP measures (gross margin, operating income and net income per share) are useful to investors by enabling them to better assess changes in each of these key elements of SunPower's results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of these non-cash items. Thus, each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method for assessing SunPower's operating results in a manner that is focused on its ongoing core operating performance, absent the effects of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, interest expense and a gain on purchased options related to the Company's convertible debt offering. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess the business and financial performance of current and historical results, for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating the company's current performance. Many of the analysts covering SunPower also use these non-GAAP measures in their analyses. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP financial data, the non-GAAP results should be reviewed together with the GAAP results and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

o Non-GAAP gross margin. The use of this non-GAAP financial measure allows management to evaluate the gross margin of the company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and interest expense. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate the Company's revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of SunPower's core businesses.

o Non-GAAP operating income. The use of this non-GAAP financial measure allows management to evaluate the operating results of the Company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and interest expense. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of the Company's core businesses and to compare results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the industry.

o Non-GAAP net income per share. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to assess the Company's operating results and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, interest expense, a gain on purchased options related to the Company's convertible debt offering and the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. In addition, investors and analysts can compare the Company's operating results on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the industry.

Non-Cash Items

o Amortization of intangible assets. SunPower incurs amortization of intangible assets as a result of Cypress acquiring the company in November 2004, in which Cypress' cost of purchased technology, patents and tradenames is reflected in the Company's financial statements. In addition, SunPower incurs amortization of intangible assets as a result of acquisitions, which includes in-process research and development, purchased technology, patents and tradenames. SunPower excludes these items because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results in the period incurred. These amounts arise from prior acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of SunPower's core businesses.

o Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation relates primarily to SunPower stock awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. As a result of this unpredictability, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation provide investors with a basis to measure the company's core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation.

o Impairment of long-lived assets. SunPower incurred an impairment of long-lived assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 totaling $5.5 million, which relates to the discontinuation of the Company's imaging detector product line and for the write-off of certain solar manufacturing equipment which became obsolete due to new processes. The costs associated with a $3.3 million write-off of certain solar product manufacturing equipment were recovered from the vendor in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. SunPower excluded this item because the expense is not reflective of its ongoing operating results in the period incurred. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company's performance against the performance of other companies without non-cash expenses such as impairment of long-lived assets.

o Non-cash interest expense. Under FSP APB 14-1, SunPower separately accounts for the liability and equity components of its convertible debt in a manner that reflects interest expense equal to SunPower's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. As a result, SunPower incurs interest expense that is substantially higher than interest payable on its 1.25% senior convertible debentures and 0.75% senior convertible debentures. SunPower excludes non-cash interest expense because the expense is not reflective of its ongoing financial results in the period incurred. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company's performance against the performance of other companies without non-cash interest expense.

o Gain on purchased options related to the Company's convertible debt offering. In connection with the issuance of its 4.75% senior convertible debentures in May 2009, SunPower entered into certain convertible debenture hedge transactions with respect to its class A common stock intended to reduce the potential dilution that would occur upon conversion of the debentures. Under EITF 07-5, the convertible debenture hedge transactions consisting of call option instruments are deemed to be a mark-to-market derivative during the period in which the over-allotment option in favor of the debenture underwriters is unexercised. SunPower entered into the underwriting agreement on April 28, 2009 and the debenture underwriters exercised the over-allotment option on April 29, 2009. During the one-day period that the underwriters' over-allotment option was outstanding, SunPower's class A common stock price increased substantially. SunPower excluded the $21.2 million gain relating to the purchased options from its non-GAAP results because it was not realized in cash and it is not reflective of the company's ongoing financial results. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare the company's performance against the performance of other companies without non-cash income from a gain on purchased options.

o Tax effect. This amount is used to present each of the amounts described above on an after-tax basis with the presentation of non-GAAP net income per share.
