“SunPower’s outstanding results in the fourth quarter and 2010 reflect strong execution of our strategy as we achieved annual revenue growth of 46% and materially exceeded the high end of our non-GAAP annual earnings per share guidance given at our Analyst Conference in November,” said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO.  “Operationally, we successfully integrated our acquisition of SunRay Renewable Ventures which significantly contributed to recognizing revenue on more than 100 megawatts (MW) of power plants in Europe in 2010.  We also increased our global dealer network to 1,500 partners and are on our way to 2,000 partners this year.  In addition, we commenced operations of our Fab 3 Malaysian joint venture and we are on track to produce more than a third of our solar cells at Fab 3 this year.  Due to the success of our accelerated cost reduction roadmap, we are on plan to achieve our efficiency-adjusted panel cost goal of $1.08 per watt in the fourth quarter of 2011. Given our strong 2010 performance, robust downstream demand and strong visibility, we are confident in our ability to deliver on our improved 2011 plan.”
 
 
 

 
 
Key milestones achieved by the company since the third quarter of 2010 include:
 
 
·
Announced agreement to sell 250 MW California Valley Solar Ranch power plant to NRG Solar
 
 
·
Executed industry’s first publicly-rated solar project bonds, approximately €195 million, and sold 72 MW Montalto Solar Park
 
 
·
Dedicated 1,400 MW Fab 3 joint venture in Malaysia with AU Optronics
 
 
·
Signed three power purchase agreements with Southern California Edison totaling 711 MW
 
 
·
Expanded global utility and power plant pipeline to more than 5 GW in 2010
 
 
·
Achieved record North American Commercial backlog – 90% booked for 2011
 
 
·
Awarded largest school contract in the US - 11 MW dc at 51 schools
 
 
·
Added approximately 500 partners to global dealer network in 2010 – exited year with 1,500 partners
 
“Our strong operating performance in the fourth quarter, coupled with our successful financing and sale of power plants globally, resulted in ending cash of more than $900 million in 2010,” said Dennis Arriola, SunPower CFO. “We enter 2011 with a strong balance sheet, ample liquidity and a continued focus on improving our cash flow from operations and working capital management.  Given the strong visibility of our 2011 revenue plan and our confidence in achieving our goals, we have hedged more than 65% of our expected European business at a rate of 1 euro to $1.34 U.S. dollars. As a result of the continued growth in our backlog of business, we have increased our revenue and earnings per share guidance for the first quarter and for full year 2011 from the forecast we provided at our Analyst Conference in November.”

Segment Reporting Information
 
The UPP Segment refers to both our large-scale solar products and systems business including power plant project development and project sales, turn-key power plant EPC and O&M services, as well as components sales which includes large volume sales of solar panels and mounting systems to third parties. The R&C Segment refers to our solar equipment sales into the residential and small commercial market through our third-party global dealer network, as well as direct sales and EPC and O&M services installing rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems for the new homes, commercial and public sectors.
 
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 and promissory notes, stock-based compensation and interest expense as well as exclude non-cash net gains (losses) on mark-to-market derivative instruments, share lending arrangement and changes in our equity investment in joint ventures, a gain on deconsolidation of consolidated subsidiary, and the related tax effects of these adjustments.  In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income includes the results of discontinued operations. Management does not consider these non-cash items 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
 
SunPower 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 2010 consists of 52 weeks while fiscal year 2009 consists of 53 weeks. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on January 2, 2011 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 ended on January 3, 2010.

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 and promissory notes, stock-based compensation and interest expense as well as exclude non-cash net gains (losses) on mark-to-market derivative instruments, share lending arrangement and changes in our equity investment in joint ventures, a gain on deconsolidation of consolidated subsidiary, and the related tax effects of these adjustments. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income includes the results of discontinued operations. 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 and promissory notes, stock-based compensation, interest expense, net gains (losses) on mark-to-market derivative instruments, share lending arrangement and changes in our equity investment in joint ventures, a gain on deconsolidation of consolidated subsidiary, and the presentation of the results of discontinued operations. 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 charges including amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and interest expense. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP gross margin includes the results of discontinued operations. This non-GAAP financial measure 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 SunPower’s revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of its 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 charges including amortization of intangible assets and promissory notes, stock-based compensation and interest expense. In addition, the presentation of non-GAAP operating income includes the results of discontinued operations. Non-GAAP operating income 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 and promissory notes, stock-based compensation, interest expense, net gains (losses) on mark-to-market derivative instruments, share lending arrangement and changes in our equity investment in joint ventures, a gain on deconsolidation of consolidated subsidiary, and the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. In addition, investors and analysts can compare SunPower's operating results on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in the industry. It should be noted that diluted weighted-average shares are determined on a GAAP basis and the resulting share count is used for computing both GAAP and Non-GAAP diluted net income per share.
 
 
 

 
 
Non-Cash Items
 
o  Amortization of intangible assets. SunPower incurs amortization of intangible assets as a result of acquisitions, which includes in-process research and development, patents, project assets, purchased technology and trade names. 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  Amortization of promissory notes. Included in the total consideration for the acquisition of SunRay completed on March 26, 2010 is $14 million in promissory notes to SunRay’s management shareholders issued by SunPower. Since the vesting and payment of the promissory notes are contingent on future employment, the promissory notes are considered deferred compensation and therefore are not included in the purchase price allocated to the net assets acquired. SunPower excludes this non-cash charge over the service period required under the terms of the promissory notes 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  Non-cash interest expense. SunPower separately accounted for the liability and equity components of its convertible debt issued in 2007 in a manner that reflected interest expense equal to its non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Under new accounting guidance effective in the first quarter of 2010, SunPower measured the two existing share lending arrangements entered into in connection with its convertible debt issued in 2007 at fair value and amortized the imputed share lending costs in current and prior periods. 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.
 
In addition, SunPower separately accounted for the fair value liabilities of the embedded cash conversion option and the over-allotment option on its 4.5% senior cash convertible debentures issued in April 2010 as an original issue discount and a corresponding derivative conversion liability. As a result, SunPower incurs interest expense that is substantially higher than interest payable on its 4.5% senior cash 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 deconsolidation of consolidated subsidiary.  SunPower’s joint venture transaction with AU Optronics Singapore Pte. Ltd. closed on July 5, 2010, the first day of the third quarter of 2010. Under the joint venture agreement SunPower’s equity interest in SunPower Malaysia Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary, was reduced to 50% and the entity was renamed AUO SunPower Sdn. Bhd. (“AUOSP”). Each investor has a 50% equity ownership in the joint venture. As a result of the shared power arrangement SunPower deconsolidated AUOSP. SunPower recognized a $36.8 million non-cash gain from the deconsolidation of the consolidated subsidiary in the third quarter of 2010. SunPower excluded the non-cash gain 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 deconsolidation and fair value recognition of the equity interest in AUOSP.
 
 
 

 
 
o  Gain (loss) on change in equity interest in unconsolidated investee. On June 30, 2010, Woongjin Energy Co., Ltd completed its initial public offering and the sale of 15.9 million new shares of common stock. SunPower did not participate in this common stock issuance by Woongjin Energy. As a result of the new common stock issuance by Woongjin Energy in the IPO, SunPower’s percentage equity interest in Woongjin Energy decreased from 42.1% to 31.3% of Woongjin Energy’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In connection with the IPO, SunPower recognized a non-cash gain of $28.3 million representing the excess of the IPO price over SunPower’s per share carrying value of its shares.
 
On October 20, 2010, First Philec Solar Corporation issued 0.5 million new shares of common and preferred stock to current investors. SunPower participated in the share issuance but did not receive a proportionate number of shares to maintain its previously reported equity interest. As a result of the new stock issuance by First Philec, SunPower’s percentage equity interest in First Philec decreased from 20.1% to 14.5% of First Philec’s issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred stock. SunPower recognized a non-cash loss of $0.3 million representing the excess of SunPower’s per share carrying value of its shares over the average price of the additional shares issued in October 2010.
 
SunPower excluded the $28.3 million gain and $0.3 million loss in the second and fourth quarters of 2010, respectively, 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 or loss from a gain (loss) on change in the Company’s equity interest in unconsolidated investees.
 
o Gain (loss) on mark-to-market derivative instruments. In connection with the issuance of its 4.5% senior cash convertible debentures in April 2010, SunPower entered into certain convertible debenture hedge and warrant transactions with respect to its class A common stock intended to reduce the potential cash payments that would occur upon conversion of the debentures. The convertible debenture hedge and warrant transactions consisting of call option instruments are deemed to be mark-to-market derivatives until such transactions settle or expire. In addition, the embedded cash conversion option of the debt is deemed to be a mark-to-market derivative instrument during the period in which the cash convertible debt remains outstanding. Finally, the over-allotment option in favor of the debenture underwriters is deemed a mark-to-market derivative instrument during the period the over-allotment option remained unexercised. SunPower excluded the $6.9 million net gain in the fourth quarter 2010, $3.0 million net loss in the third quarter 2010, $34.1 million net gain in the second quarter 2010, and $2.2 million net loss in the first quarter 2010, relating to the above mentioned derivative instruments 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 a net non-cash gain (loss) on mark-to-market derivative instruments.
 
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. 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 was unexercised. 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 in the second quarter 2009 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 Gain on share lending arrangement. The Company loaned 2.9 million shares of its class A common stock to Lehman Brothers International (Europe) Limited (“LBIE”) in 2007. In connection with the bankruptcy filing of LBIE on September 15, 2008 the Company recorded a $213.4 million non-cash loss in the third quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with Deutsche Bank AG – London Branch under which the Company assigned to Deutsche Bank its claims against LBIE in connection with the share lending arrangement for cash proceeds of $24.0 million. The Company had excluded the $213.4 million non-cash loss in the third quarter of 2008 from its non-GAAP results of operations. The Company has also excluded the $24.0 million cash received from the sale of its claim against LBIE to Deutsche Bank. Excluding the data related to the share lending arrangement provides investors with a basis to compare the Company’s performance against the performance of other companies without such non-operational transactions.
 
 
 

 
 
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.
 
o  Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. In connection with SunPower’s acquisition of SunRay on March 26, 2010, it acquired an already completed and operating solar power plant owned by SunRay. In the period in which an asset of SunPower is classified as held-for-sale, it is required to present the related assets, liabilities and results of operations associated with that asset as discontinued operations in its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. During the second and third quarter 2010, SunPower generated electricity revenue and incurred costs and expenses associated with this owned asset. The presentation of SunPower’s Consolidated Statements of Operations discloses the results of operations of the solar power plant as a one line item classification as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP. As such, the presentation of GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating income in the second and third quarter 2010 excludes the results of these discontinued operations. SunPower reclassified the results of the solar power plant operations from the one line discontinued operations classification for GAAP purposes to the natural account classifications (revenue, etc.) within non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income. SunPower believes this reclassification of the solar power plant’s results of operations provides an appropriate representation of the results of SunPower's operations during the quarter in operating a solar power plant.
