Array Technologies, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2023 – Continues strong operational execution; announced Chief Financial Officer transition
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
- Revenue of $350.4 million(1)
- Net income to common shareholders of $10.1 million
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $57.4 million
- Basic and diluted net income per share of $0.07
- Adjusted diluted net income per share(2) of $0.21
- Executed contracts and awarded orders at September 30, 2023 totaling $1.6 billion
(1) Revenue results exclude the impact of a ($20.1) million Brazil value-added tax benefit, Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Servicos (“ICMS”), that has been reclassified and included in cost of revenues in the current year. This reclassification was determined to be appropriate after we evaluated the expected treatment of governmental incentives for the 45X manufacturing credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, but has no impact on profitability or cash flow. For the three quarters ended September 30, 2022, an ICMS benefit of $8.2 million was included in revenues.
(2) A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure to its Non-GAAP measure is included below.
ALBUQUERQUE. N.M., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Array Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) (“Array” or “the Company”), a leading provider of tracker solutions and services for utility-scale solar energy projects, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“Despite the near-term secular challenges which impacted our volume when compared to the prior year, Array again delivered another strong quarter across all of our key metrics. Revenue for the quarter was $350.4 million which was in-line with our expectations, and adjusted EBITDA was $57.4 million, which exceeded our expectations as we once again delivered better than anticipated gross margin of 26.0% on an adjusted basis. We also continued to deliver positive free cash flow, generating $69.4 million in the quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $126.4 million, which puts us well on track to achieve our full-year target of between $150 million and $200 million. On the back of this cash flow generation, we elected to make a $50 million prepayment on our term loan as we begin to execute on the deleveraging we discussed in previous quarters,” said Kevin Hostetler, Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Hostetler continued, “On the demand side, we continue to see positive momentum heading into 2024. We are seeing a steady increase in our domestic pipeline, which has more than doubled from the second quarter. This increase is a key early indicator of the expected momentum in our orderbook. That said, we have continued to be impacted by short-term delays in project timing driven by customer pushouts, which has reduced our revenue outlook for the full year. However, despite these project timing challenges, we continue to be encouraged by our operational execution, in particular our efforts to expand our non-tracker offerings which will drive better than anticipated margins for the second half of the year. Accordingly, we expect our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlook to remain largely unchanged,” Mr. Hostetler concluded.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue decreased 32% to $350.4 million, compared to $515.0 million for the prior-year period resulting from a 22% reduction in the total number of MWs shipped and a decrease in ASP of 12% driven by lower input costs.
Gross profit increased 14% to $87.4 million compared to $76.6 million in the prior year period, driven by an increase in gross profit as a percent of revenue, partly offset by decreased volume. Gross margin increased to 24.9% from 14.9% driven by an improvement in pass-through pricing to customers and cost-saving opportunities in freight and material purchases.
Operating expenses decreased to $47.2 million compared to $59.4 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily related to $12.0 million in lower amortization expense in 2023 compared to 2022, which had elevated amortization costs related to the STI acquisition.
Net income to common stockholders was $10.1 million compared to a net income of $28.4 million during the same period in the prior year, and basic and diluted income per share was $0.07 compared to basic and diluted income per share of $0.19 during the same period in the prior year. The reduction in net income from the prior year was driven by the $42.8 million legal settlement received by the Company during the third quarter of 2022 of which there was no comparable amount in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $57.4 million, compared to $55.4 million for the prior-year period.
Adjusted net income was $31.4 million compared to adjusted net income of $28.9 million during the same period in the prior year and adjusted basic and diluted adjusted net income per share was $0.21 compared to adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.19 during the same period in the prior year.
Executed Contracts and Awarded Orders
Total executed contracts and awarded orders at September 30, 2023 were $1.6 billion, with $1.4 billion from our Array Legacy Operations segment and $0.2 billion from STI Norland. It is important to note that our orderbook at STI Norland was negatively impacted by approximately $80 million of orders that were cancelled due to Brazilian “forgiveness day” established by the Normative Resolution (REN) 1065/2023. Forgiveness day granted amnesty for renewable energy projects that had a generation grant and a signed Contract for the Use of the Transition System (“CUST”) but were never entered into commercial operation and/or could not be executed on the time planned by the project owner. The amnesty allowed the grants to be revoked and the CUST terminated without payment of fines.
Full Year 2023 Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company expects:
- Revenue to be in the range of $1,525 million to $1,575 million
- Adjusted EBITDA(3) to be in the range of $280 million to $290 million
- Adjusted net income per share(3) to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.05
(3) 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 outlook, 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.
Transition of Chief Financial Officer
Today the Company also announced that Kurt Wood has been named Chief Financial Officer effective November 13, 2023. Mr. Wood replaces Nipul Patel, who will continue in his current role as Chief Financial Officer until Mr. Wood begins employment and thereafter will assist in the transition in an advisory role until Mr. Patel’s expected departure from the Company at the end of the year.
“Nipul has played a critical role over the last few years, helping to significantly reduce Array’s debt, improve our financial and operating performance, and build the strategy and execution against a volatile market backdrop,” said Array CEO Kevin Hostetler. “Importantly, under Nipul’s leadership, Array’s finance teams have become stronger operational partners to our business, creating insights to drive performance while deepening our focus on free cash flow. We are also grateful that Nipul will remain with us for the rest of the year to ensure a smooth transition.”
Kevin continued, “I am also extremely excited to welcome Kurt on board. He has a demonstrated history of financial leadership across companies of many sizes that will be critical as we continue to build upon the foundation Nipul began. Further, his background in business and corporate development will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth.”
Prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of Array, Mr. Wood had served as an advisor to Brunswick Corporation since April 2022. Prior to his role with Brunswick, Mr. Wood served as Chief Financial Officer of Berkeley Lights, Inc. from March 2021 to April 2022 after having served as VP of Business Development from October 2020. Prior to joining Berkeley Lights, Mr. Wood served as Corporate VP of Finance and Treasury for Micron Technology from February 2019 to October 2020. Mr. Wood also served as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at DriveTime from February 2014 to September 2018. Prior to DriveTime, Mr. Wood was Chief Financial Officer and a Partner at True North Venture Partners, where he sat on the firm’s investment committee. Mr. Wood has also held finance and business development roles with First Solar, KLA-Tencor, Vendio Services, Inc., and Intel Corporation. Mr. Wood holds a B.B.A. in Finance from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, Bloomington.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus (i) developed technology amortization and (ii) other costs. Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) other (income) expense, (ii) foreign currency (gain) loss, (iii) preferred dividends and accretion, (iv) interest expense, (v) income tax (benefit) expense, (vi) depreciation expense, (vii) amortization of intangibles, (viii) equity-based compensation, (ix) change in fair value of derivative assets, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) certain legal expense, (xii) certain acquisition costs, and (xiii) other costs. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs (iii) preferred accretion, (iv) equity-based compensation, (v) change in fair value of derivative assets, (vi) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (vii) certain legal expense, (viii) certain acquisition related costs, (ix) other costs, and (x) 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 calculate net income (loss) per share as net income (loss) to common shareholders divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the applicable period and we define Adjusted Net Income per share as Adjusted Net Income (as detailed above) divided by the basic and 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 Gross Profit, 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 Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, Adjusted Gross Profit, 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 Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of gross profit to Adjusted Gross Profit and net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
