SUNation Energy Announces 2025 Second Quarter Results and Reiterates Full Year Financial Guidance

FY 2025 Total Sales Expected to Rise 14% – 23% from FY 2024 with Positive Adjusted EBITDA

Q2 2025 Select Highlights

• Gross Margin Expanded to 37%
• Total Debt Declined by $11.7 Million, a 61% Improvement from December 31, 2024
• Residential Backlog at June 30, 2025 Increased to $27.1 Million from December 31, 2024 and Rose to $35.6 Million at July 31, 2025

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power to households, businesses, municipalities, and for servicing existing systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”) and reiterated full year financial guidance for total sales and Adjusted EBITDA.

“In 2024, Jim Brennan and I assumed the leadership of SUNation. With the support of an amazing team, we created and implemented a series of initiatives that have strengthened our operations, reduced costs, eliminated significant debt, and enhanced efficiencies,” said Scott Maskin, Chief Executive Officer. “The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) in July represented a major policy reversal for our industry; however, our success in improving our operations has prepared us to adjust to and, we believe, prosper in, this new environment. While uncertainty remains, we believe that the long-term outlook for solar is strong given its compelling value proposition, environmental benefits, and support of energy independence. SUNation is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead and we are committed to delivering a best-in-class customer experience.”

Mr. Maskin continued, “Demand for residential solar in our primary markets of New York and Hawaii has increased considerably since the passage of the OBBBA. Consumers in these regions – which happen to be two of the most expensive electricity markets in the country – are being driven by a heightened sense of urgency to install new systems before the December 31, 2025 deadline to be eligible for the Section 25D tax credit. This has resulted in a significant increase in new residential business that we expect will be completed by the end of the year. Our Commercial business is also picking up with project backlog extending in 2026. We are diversifying our business model to create new revenue streams, continuing to pursue select acquisitions and partnership agreements, and pivoting towards leasing and third party owned systems in New York and Hawaii, where solar demand is expected to persist due to utility structure and high electricity costs.”   

James Brennan, SUNation’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “The benefits from our restructuring and debt reduction initiatives had a pronounced positive effect on second quarter financial results. We increased gross margin, reduced SG&A expenses, and improved our Adjusted EBITDA loss. We also further improved our financial position; cash at quarter end rose nearly four-fold from December 31, 2024 and we reduced our debt by $11.7 million from December 31, 2024. These improvements in combination with a robust project backlog are expected to drive strong second half performance and give us great confidence in our ability to meet our full year financial guidance.”

Q2 2025 Financial Results Overview
Comparisons are to the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (“Q2 2024”) unless otherwise noted

• Total sales were $13.1 million compared to $13.5 million, driven by higher sales at SUNation NY, partially offset by sales declines at Hawaii Energy Connection (“HEC”) and service revenue.
• Consolidated gross profit improved to $4.8 million, or 37.0% of sales, from gross profit of $4.8 million, or 35.4% of sales, driven by higher gross profit at SUNation NY partially offset by a smaller decline in gross profit at HEC.   
• SG&A expenses improved to $6.4 million from $6.6 million, the result of cost optimization and efficiency measures implemented in 2024 and 2025.
• Net loss was $(9.6) million compared to $(6.9) million.   However, net loss in Q2 2025 included a $(7.5) million non-cash charge related to fair value remeasurement of warrant liability compared to $(3.3) million in Q2 2024 and $(0.6) million in financing fees.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(1.0) million from $(1.7) million.
• Residential backlog improved to $27.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $26.9 million at December 31, 2024; at July 31, 2025, residential backlog further increased to $35.6 million.
• Commercial backlog was $0.9 million at June 30, 2025 and $4.2 million at July 31, 2025.  

Financial Condition at June 30, 2025

• Cash and cash equivalents improved to $3.2 million from $0.8 million at December 31, 2024. Restricted cash and equivalents was stable at $0.3 million.
• Total debt, which includes earnout consideration of $0.5 million, improved 61% to $7.5 million from $19.1 million at December 31, 2024.
• Accounts payable improved to $6.4 million from $8.0 million at December 31, 2024.
• Inventories improved to $2.3 million from $2.7 million at December 31, 2024.
• Current liabilities improved to $12.8 million from $27.2 million at December 31, 2024
• Stockholders’ equity improved to $22.1 million from $8.5 million at December 31, 2024.

As previously announced, during Q2 2025 the Company terminated all of the outstanding Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Series A Warrants”) issued in connection with a previously announced Registered Direct Offering. The transaction eliminated the potential dilution created by the Series A Warrants by ensuring that up to 652,174 shares of stock underlying those warrants will no longer be able to enter the market.

Mr. Brennan commented, “The termination of these warrants allowed us to deploy our cash in a way that delivered meaning value to our shareholders by removing a significant source of potential dilution and simplifying our capital structure.”

REITERATES 2025 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Based on current business conditions and estimated outlook, the Company is reiterating its previously issued financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2025:

• Total sales are expected to rise to $65 million to $70 million, a projected increase of between 14% and 23% from total sales of $56.9 million in 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to improve to $0.5 million to $0.7 million from an Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2024.

Guidance for full year 2025 is based on the Company’s current views, beliefs, estimates and assumptions. It does not include any potential impact related to, among numerous other potential events that are largely out of our control, such as current or future tariffs, global disruptions, broader industry dynamics, and legislative policy changes, which the Company is unable to predict at this time. All financial expectations are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially from such expectations, as further discussed below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2025 to net profit (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA but included in net profit (loss) cannot be predicted on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort or are not within our control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures that differ from financial measures calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure provided in this release, and is net (loss) income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, gain on sale of assets, financing fees, loss on debt remeasurement, and non-cash fair value remeasurement adjustments as detailed in the reconciliations presented below in this press release.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because the Company believes they are useful indicators of its operating performance. Management uses these measures principally as measures of the Company’s operating performance and for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s annual operating plan and financial projections. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as supplemental information and because they are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as an alternative to, or superior to, their respective GAAP financial measures, as measures of financial performance or cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future. Adjusted EBITDA contains certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on the Company’s GAAP results in addition to using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP financial measures is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
