ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Array Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) (“Array” or “the Company”), a leading provider of tracker solutions, software and services for utility-scale solar energy projects, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
“I am pleased to announce that our 2022 results finished at the high-end of our preliminary ranges. Accordingly, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS all exceeded the midpoint of our full year guidance range as we had a very strong close out to our year,” said Kevin Hostetler, Chief Executive Officer. “As we enter 2023, we do so with an incredible amount of momentum: our $1.9 billion orderbook is priced to support long-term sustainability of our high teens to low twenties margin range. The significant amount of cashflow produced in the second half of 2022 solidifies our liquidity position and dramatically improves our leverage position. And, finally, with the launch of OmniTrack and the availability of the STI H250 in the U.S., coupled with an expanded SmarTrack software powering all of our product lines, we have what we believe to be the strongest tracker hardware and software product portfolio in the industry. Against that backdrop, our team remains focused on execution in our domestic and international markets, and we look towards further operational and financial improvements, which you can see embedded in our expectations for 2023. As a reminder, our guidance does not assume any potential benefits from the IRA related to the domestic content provision and the tracker manufacturing credits, meaning we view both as being additive to results in 2023 if resolution is reached on either topic. Regardless of the timing of those benefits, Array is well positioned as a key player in the global utility-scale solar supply chain, and we are working closely with our customers every day to provide them with premium products and services to fulfill their specified project needs,” concluded Mr. Hostetler.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenues increased 83% to $402.1 million, compared to $219.9 million for the prior-year period, primarily driven by a higher Average Selling Price for our Array Duratrack product and the acquisition of STI, which contributed $132.5 million in the quarter.
Gross profit increased 683% to $80.5 million compared to $10.3 million in the prior year period, driven by the increase in volume both from the acquisition of STI as well as our organic growth. Gross margin increased to 20.0% from 4.7% driven by a larger portion of higher priced contracts and the addition of STI.
Operating expenses increased to $64.2 million compared to $30.3 million during the same period in the prior year. The higher expense is primarily related to a $24.7 million increase in amortization expense related to the STI acquisition. The remaining increase represents the additional operating expenses from the STI business as well as higher headcount related costs to support the Company’s growth and innovation.
Net loss to common stockholders was $17.3 million compared to a net loss to common stockholders of $32.1 million during the same period in the prior year, and basic and diluted loss per share were $0.11 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.24 during the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $51.7 million, compared to $0.5 million for the prior-year period.
Adjusted net income was $15.0 million compared to adjusted net loss of $7.8 million during the same period in the prior year and adjusted basic and adjusted diluted net income per share was $0.10 compared to adjusted diluted net loss per share of $0.06 during the same period in the prior year.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenues increased 92% to $1,637.5 million, compared to $853.3 million for the prior-year period, driven by an organic increase of $414.6 million, or 49%, driven by both an increase in the total number of MWs shipped and an increase in ASP. Revenue growth was also driven by the acquisition of STI Norland which contributed revenue of $369.7 million.
Gross profit increased 174% to $227.3 million, compared to $82.9 million in the prior year period, driven by the increase in volume both from the acquisition of STI as well as our organic growth. Gross margin increased to 13.9% from 9.7% driven by a larger portion of higher priced contracts and the addition of STI.
Operating expenses increased 128% to $245.4 million compared to $107.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The higher expense is primarily related to a $74.7 million increase in amortization expense related to the STI acquisition. The remaining increase represents the additional operating expenses from the STI business as well as higher headcount related costs to support the Company’s growth and innovation.
Net loss to common stockholders was $43.6 million compared to a net loss of $66.1 million during the same period in the prior year, and basic and diluted loss per share were $0.29 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.51 during the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $128.7 million, compared to $43.2 million for the prior-year period.
Adjusted net income was $57.3 million compared to adjusted net income of $8.7 million during the same period in the prior year and adjusted basic and diluted net income per share was $0.38 compared to adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.07 during the same period in the prior year.
Executed Contracts and Awarded Orders
Total executed contracts and awarded orders at December 31, 2022 were $1.9 billion, with $1.4 billion from our Array Legacy Operations segment and $0.5 billion from STI Norland.
Full Year 2023 Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company expects:
- Revenue to be in the range of $1,800 million to $1,950 million
- Adjusted EBITDA(4) to be in the range of $240 million to $265 million
- Adjusted net income per share(4) to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.85
(4) A reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share, which are forward-looking measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is not provided because we are unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a quantitative reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the components of the applicable GAAP measures and non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. The GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as non-cash share-based compensation, revaluation of the fair-value of our contingent consideration, and the tax effect of such items, in addition to other items we have historically excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income per share. We expect to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of these non-GAAP measures and may also exclude other similar items that may arise in the future (collectively, “non-GAAP adjustments”). The decisions and events that typically lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur. As such, for our 2023 guidance, we have not included estimates for these items and are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our projected future results of operations, business strategies, our continued integration of STI Norland and industry and regulatory environment. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” "seek," “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Array’s actual results and the timing of events could materially differ from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation: we may be unable to successfully integrate the business of STI Norland into our business or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of STI Norland; on March 25, 2022, the Department of Commerce initiated a circumvention inquiry on the anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty orders related to crystalline silicone photovoltaic cells, which inquiry presents risks and uncertainty that are difficult to predict and accordingly the ranges provided assume no material negative impact resulting from such inquiry; if demand for solar energy projects does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, our business will suffer; a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment, could harm our business and negatively impact revenue, results of operations and cash flows; the impact of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine on our business; uncertain credit and global financial markets, including rising inflation and interest rates and recent bank failures; the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely affected our business and results of operations, and the duration and extent to which it will continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations remains uncertain and could be material; significant changes in the costs of raw materials could adversely affect our financial performance; defects or performance problems in our products could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue, and we may face warranty, indemnity and product liability claims arising from defective products; existing electric utility industry policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems, which may significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete; changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows; and the other risks and uncertainties described in more detail in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents on file with the SEC, each of which can be found on our website www.arraytechinc.com.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This presentation includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) to common shareholders plus (i) interest expense, (ii) other (income) expense, (iii) income tax expense (benefit), (iv) depreciation expense, (v) amortization of intangibles, (vi) equity-based compensation, (vii) remeasurement of the fair value of contingent consideration, (viii) ERP implementation costs, (ix) certain legal expense and settlements, and (x) other costs. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) to common shareholders plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs (iii) equity-based compensation, (iv) remeasurement of the fair value of contingent consideration, (v) ERP implementation costs, (vi) certain legal expense and settlements, (vii) other costs, and (viii) income tax (expense) benefit of adjustments. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP results and results excluding special items (“non-GAAP”) is included within this presentation. We define Adjusted Net Income per share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of our past financial performance and our prospects for the future. Our management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance, as well as in planning and forecasting future periods. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Among other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; do not reflect income tax expense or benefit; and other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
