St. Peters, MO, February 19, 2014 - SunEdison, Inc. (NYSE: SUNE) today announced financial results for the 2013 fourth quarter that reflected strong demand in its Solar Energy segment. Solar pipeline grew sequentially despite significantly higher project completions in the quarter. Lower revenue in the Semiconductor Materials segment was due to lower volumes and continued pricing pressures, influenced primarily by industry related weakness. We ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $573.5 million and cash committed for construction projects of $258.0 million, totaling $831.5 million, resulting from the net cash inflows from term debt refinancing in connection with the convertible senior note offering, inflows from solar project financing and working capital management, partially offset by outflows from solar project construction.
On February 18, 2014, SunEdison announced that it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed initial public offering of the common stock of a yield vehicle. The number of shares of common stock to be sold and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined. The initial public offering is expected to commence after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.
“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team, we achieved our target for solar project completions in the quarter. Our geographic breadth and early presence in regions now experiencing growing demand enabled another quarter of pipeline growth. The successful debt refinancing completed late last year and our proposed yield vehicle are important steps towards lowering our cost of capital," said Ahmad Chatila, Chief Executive Officer. "Despite challenging conditions in the semiconductor market, our Semiconductor Materials segment generated positive operating cash flow and continues to take action to lower its cost structure. According to industry forecasts, the semiconductor market is expected to grow in 2014, and we are positioned well from a customer, product and capability perspective to participate as the market improves. In 2014, we remain committed to strengthening our balance sheet and creating value for our stakeholders."
Key summary financial results for the 2013 fourth quarter are set out in the following table. See the financial statement tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Cash Flow
Operating cash used in the 2013 fourth quarter was $413.3 million and was primarily the result of changes in working capital related to project construction, partially offset by cash generated in the Semiconductor Materials segment. Free cash flow was $(46.0) million and was largely influenced by solar energy project financing and solar project construction activities, and capital expenditures. See the reconciliation of free cash flow in the financial statement tables at the end of this press release.
Capital expenditures were $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Similar to the 2013 third quarter, the majority of 2013 fourth quarter capital expenditures were incurred in the Semiconductor Materials segment.
During the 2013 fourth quarter, the company issued $1.2 billion of convertible senior notes, consisting of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.00% convertible senior notes and $600.0 million aggregate principal of 2.75% convertible senior notes. The company received net proceeds of approximately $260.0 million after redemption of the company's $550.0 million 7.75% senior notes and $200.0 million second lien term loan, the cost of the associated note hedge and warrant transactions, and associated fees and expenses.
The company ended the 2013 fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $573.5 million and cash committed for construction projects of $258.0 million, for a total of $831.5 million. The cash for operations and solar energy system construction includes the net cash inflows from term debt refinancing in connection with the convertible senior note offering, inflows from solar project financing and working capital management, partially offset by outflows from solar project construction.

Solar Energy: GAAP
Solar Energy segment GAAP revenue was lower year-over-year and sequentially primarily due to the company's decision to retain 127 MW of solar projects on the balance sheet. Solar Energy segment GAAP revenue for the 2013 fourth quarter was $344.5 million, compared to $372.2 million for 2012 fourth quarter, which included $54.4 million of previously deferred Rovigo revenue from the 2010 fourth quarter. Sequentially, Solar Energy segment GAAP revenue was lower due to lower sales of solar materials, offset partially by higher solar project sales. Third quarter 2013 revenue included a $13.8 million benefit related to previously deferred GAAP revenue and a benefit of $22.0 million related to the termination of a supply contract with Gintech. In the 2013 fourth quarter, Solar Energy recognized GAAP revenue from solar projects totaling 55 MW up from 42 MW in the 2013 third quarter and 52 MW in the 2012 fourth quarter. During the 2013 fourth quarter, 127 MW of projects that were held on the balance sheet.
Solar Energy segment GAAP operating income was lower year-over-year due primarily to lower sales and higher expenses related to growth initiatives and expenses required to build and retain solar projects for the previously mentioned yield vehicle launch. Fourth quarter 2013 segment operating income included charges of $37.0 million related to the indefinite closure of the polysilicon and TCS (trichlorosilane) facilities in Merano, Italy and $15.2 million related to amortization and impairment of intangible assets. The 2012 fourth quarter included benefits of $54.4 million of deferred revenue as described previously and $31.7 million related to a gain on the acquisition of a TCS facility as part of a settlement with Evonik, and a charge of $11.6 million related to restructuring and asset impairments. Sequentially, segment GAAP operating income was lower primarily due to the previously mentioned Merano restructuring and amortization and impairment of intangibles charges, and a $22.0 million benefit in the prior quarter associated with the termination of a supply contract with Gintech.
Solar Energy: Non-GAAP
Solar Energy segment non-GAAP revenue was up year-over-year and sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher solar project and materials sales. Sequentially, non-GAAP revenue was higher due to higher solar project sales partially offset by lower solar materials sales. Third quarter 2013 included a benefit of $22.0 million due to the termination of a supply contract with Gintech. Non-GAAP revenue was recognized from 206 MW of solar projects sold in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared to 75 MW in the 2013 third quarter and 91 MW in the 2012 fourth quarter. Of the 206 MW that were recognized for non-GAAP revenue in the 2013 fourth quarter, 160 MW were direct sales, 46 MW were sale-leaseback transactions.
Segment non-GAAP operating income declined year-over-year and sequentially. Year-over-year, segment non-GAAP operating income was lower due primarily to higher operating expenses related to growth initiatives and retained projects, and lower materials
margin. Fourth quarter 2013 included charges of $37.0 million related to impairment of fixed assets in the polysilicon and TCS facilities in Merano, Italy and $15.2 million related to amortization and impairment of intangible assets. Fourth quarter 2012 included a $31.7 million benefit related to a gain on the acquisition of a TCS plant as part of a contract settlement with Evonik and a charge of $11.6 million related to restructuring and asset impairments. Sequentially, segment non-GAAP operating income was lower primarily due to the previously mentioned Merano restructuring and amortization and impairment of intangibles charges, and a $22.0 million benefit in the prior quarter associated with the termination of a supply contract with Gintech.
Solar Project Pipeline, Backlog & Construction
The Solar Energy segment ended the 2013 fourth quarter with a project pipeline of 3.4 GW, up 269 MW compared to the prior quarter and up 805 MW from the year ago period. Backlog at December 31, 2013 was 1.1 GW, consistent with the prior quarter. A solar project is classified as “pipeline” where SunEdison has a signed or awarded PPA or other energy off-take agreement or has achieved each of the following three items: site control, an identified interconnection point with an estimate of the interconnection costs, and an executed energy off-take agreement or the determination that there is a reasonable likelihood that an energy off-take agreement will be signed. A solar project is classified as “backlog” if there is an associated executed PPA or other energy off-take agreement, such as a feed-in-tariff. There can be no assurance that all pipeline or backlog projects will convert to revenue because in the ordinary course of our development business some fall-out is typical and certain projects will not be built.
As of December 31, 2013, 504 MW of the pipeline was under construction, compared to 558 MW the prior quarter and 73 MW a year ago. “Under construction” refers to projects within pipeline and backlog, in various stages of completion, which are not yet operational.
Semiconductor Materials
Semiconductor Materials segment revenue for the 2013 fourth quarter was down year-over-year due to lower volume and price. Lower average selling prices for large diameter wafers had the greatest impact on revenue. Revenue was down sequentially due to lower volume, although average selling price was up slightly. Volume was lower across all diameters. Price for 300mm wafers was flat, while pricing for 200mm wafers was higher. The industry continues to experience overcapacity, soft demand and aggressive pricing. Continued weakness in the Japanese Yen remains a significant challenge in the competitive pricing environment.
The year-over-year and sequential decline in operating income was primarily due to lower gross profit driven by lower plant utilization, despite operating cost reductions.
Outlook
The company looks forward to providing its 2014 first quarter and full year outlook, as well as detailed commentary regarding its strategy and 2014 business plan at its Capital Markets Day on February 25, 2014. A press release with further details regarding the Capital Markets Day was issued separately.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Management has determined that certain non-GAAP metrics for the Solar Energy segment presented herein are the key metrics that will help investors understand the ultimate income and near-term cash flows generated by our Solar Energy segment. These non-GAAP measures and metrics include deferrals required under GAAP real estate and lease accounting for some of SunEdison’s direct sales and or its sale-leaseback transactions. Management has also determined that the non-GAAP measure of “free cash flow” is useful to help investors better understand the capital intensity of our business, including our project financing operations. For a complete description of our non-GAAP measures, see the non-GAAP reconciliation tables below.

[*] During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company recorded an adjustment to redeemable noncontrolling interest which affected the numerator of the EPS calculation by $(2.4) million and $(0.7) million, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the adjustment affected the numerator of the EPS calculation by $(6.8) million and $(1.6) million, respectively.
[A] Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting and reporting. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided non-GAAP financial measures for the Solar Energy segment. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures represent important internal measures of performance for our Solar Energy business, and better reflect Solar Energy's results from operations and near term cash flows. Accordingly, where these measures are provided, it is done so that investors have the same financial data that management uses to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Solar Energy segment. SunEdison management uses these measures to manage the Solar Energy segment because it believes these measures are more representative of the operational health and performance of that segment. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, and should only be read in conjunction with, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the directly comparable GAAP measure set forth in the press release.
[B] These non-GAAP measures include adjustments to revenue in the company’s Solar Energy business from direct sales of solar energy systems where we have received upfront partial payments and, absent real estate accounting requirements, we would have recognized revenues under the percentage of completion accounting method. The non-GAAP measures also include adjustments to non-GAAP revenue and/or profit deferred related to our maximum exposure for power warranties, system uptime guarantees and breach of contract provisions offered to the direct sale customers for these systems that are considered continuing involvement by us in the sold solar energy systems. This revenue is not recognized as of the reporting date under GAAP real estate accounting rules because the solar energy systems are considered integral to the real estate on which they were built. Absent real estate accounting requirements, deferred revenues related to continuing involvement would be recognized under GAAP during the reporting period because we have historically experienced minimal losses related to these guarantees. For these direct sales, the sales contracts have been executed and we have either received payment in full or maintains a valid and legal note receivable for the full sales price that we expect to collect within a short period after completion of the project.
[C] Adjustment relates to revenue from our sale-leaseback transactions accounted for as financings. This includes cash received for the legal sale of the solar energy system to the purchaser that will not be recognized as revenue under GAAP. It also includes progress of constructing solar energy systems for which we have executed binding sale agreements meeting non-real estate percentage of completion accounting requirements. Non-GAAP operating income reflects a margin in an amount that will equal to the difference between (a) the cash proceeds our financing partners in sale-leaseback transactions considered financings and (b) our total costs to construct the solar energy systems sold under the sale-leaseback transactions. These sale-leaseback transactions are classified as financing transactions under GAAP because the system is considered integral to the land or building on which it resides and because we have continuing involvement with the system through a purchase option. This system development margin will be recognized under GAAP upon termination of the related lease through the non-cash extinguishment of the debt offset by any remaining net book value of the solar energy system asset.
[D] Income tax has been calculated using the estimated effective tax rate for SunEdison in the jurisdictions giving rise to the related adjustments and assumes sale-leaseback deferred tax assets will be realized.

[A] EBITDA is a non-GAAP disclosure consisting of net loss attributable to SunEdison stockholders plus interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the company’s operating performance and liquidity because (i) it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of the company’s capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, and (iii) it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to service its debt, as the company is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in the company’s financing documents.

[A] GAAP is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting and reporting. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided a non-GAAP financial measure for free cash flow which we believe is useful to help investors better understand the capital intensity of our business, including our project financing operations. In addition to other key performance indicators, we evaluate the performance of the solar project business on the cash generation abilities of the projects, which are typically financed at the inception of a lease, resulting in a gain on sale that is deferred and not immediately included in net income (loss). Any non-GAAP measure should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net income (loss). | |||||||||||||||||
