Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
Full Year 2023 Financial Highlights
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 27, 2024 (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, 2023.
“We finished 2023 on a strong note with revenue of $1,577 million, which was ahead of our expectations. Throughout the year we implemented many structural enhancements to our business which improved our margin profile and enabled us to more than double our Adjusted EBITDA to $288 million (4) and generate $215 million of free cash flow. We continued to execute on our commitment to strengthen our balance sheet and paid down $87 million of outstanding debt in 2023 while ensuring ample liquidity as shown by our year end cash balance of $250 million and total liquidity of $424 million, inclusive of our undrawn revolving credit facility,” said Kevin Hostetler, Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Hostetler concluded, “We enter 2024 with strong momentum and meaningful additions to our U.S. pipeline which has tripled since the second quarter of 2023. Our global orderbook has increased to $1.8 billion fueled by $600 million in Q4 2023 bookings. This demonstrates the attractive ROI’s and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) enabled through our products, software and services.”
Executed Contracts and Awarded Orders
Total executed contracts and awarded orders at December 31, 2023 were $1.8 billion with $1.5 billion from our Array Legacy Operations segment and $0.3 billion from STI Norland.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company expects:
We expect relatively flat volume on a full-year basis in 2024 with declining ASP’s driven by lower commodity input costs, our ability to lower price from our reduced cost structure, and the pass-through of a portion of the 45X benefit to our customers. Based on expected project timing, our current orderbook is skewed towards the back half of 2024 and into 2025. As a result, 2024 revenue will be more weighted to the second half of the year compared to historical performance.
We are projecting another year of growth in our adjusted gross margin to the low thirties percent of sales driven by continued strength in our structural gross margin as well as the realization of certain 45X benefits. This will enable us to have our third consecutive year of delivering both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin growth.

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, 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: changes in growth or rate of growth in demand for solar energy projects; competitive pressures within our industry; a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment; a drop in the price of electricity derived from the utility grid or from alternative energy sources; a failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; a further increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt capital in the global financial markets, which could make it difficult for customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system; 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; the interruption of the flow of materials from international vendors, which could disrupt our supply chain, including as a result of the imposition of additional duties, tariffs and other charges or restrictions on imports and exports; geopolitical, macroeconomic and other market conditions unrelated to our operating performance including the military conflict in Ukraine and Russia, the Israel-Hamas war, attacks on a shipping in the Red Sea and rising inflation and interest rates; changes in the global trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs or other import restrictions; our ability to convert our orders in backlog into revenue; fluctuations in our results of operations across fiscal periods, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations; the reduction, elimination or expiration, or our failure to optimize the benefits of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy and solar energy, particularly in relation to our competitors; failure to, or incurrence of significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce, our intellectual property and other proprietary right; significant changes in the cost of raw materials; defects or performance problems in our products, which could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue; delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations; our ability to obtain key personnel or failure to attract additional qualified personnel; additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks due to our continued planned expansion into new markets; cybersecurity or other data incidents, including unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or theft of confidential information; failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; risks related to actual or threatened public health epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks or crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition; changes to tax laws and regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including our ability to optimize those changes brought about by the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act; 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 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) other (income) expense, (ii) foreign currency transaction (gain) loss, (iii) preferred dividends and accretion, (iv) interest expense, (v) income tax (benefit) expense, (vi) depreciation expense, (vii) amortization of intangibles, (viii) amortization of developed technology, (ix) equity-based compensation, (x) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (xi) certain legal expenses, (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 developed technology, (iii) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs (iv) preferred accretion, (v) equity-based compensation, (vi) change in fair value of derivative assets, (vii) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (viii) certain legal expenses, (ix) certain acquisition related costs, (x) other costs, and (xi) income tax (benefit) expense 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.
(1) A reconciliation of the most comparable GAAP measure to its Non-GAAP measure is included below.
(2) Excluded in 2023 revenue is $23.2 million regarding Brazil value-added tax benefit, or “ICMS.” Included in 2022 revenue is $12.3 million regarding Brazil value-added tax benefit, or “ICMS.” In 2023 the Company concluded that the ICMS benefit should be accounted for as a reduction to cost of sales, rather than an addition to revenue, based on the nature of the benefit, consistent with how we account for government incentives for 45X manufacturing credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
(3) Free Cash Flow calculated as cash from (used in) operating activities less purchase of property, plant and equipment.
(4) We earned ~$50 million of torque tube 45X benefit in 2023. $9.3 million of that benefit was recognized as a reduction to cost of sales in the statement of operations in the fourth quarter of 2023. $40.6 million was recorded as a deferred credit on the balance sheet as of year-end, which will be recognized to the statement of operations throughout 2024.
(5) 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 2024 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.

(a) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company began to account for the Capped Calls and Put Option as derivative assets, with subsequent changes in fair value being recorded through earnings. After consultation with the staff of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company concluded that the Capped Calls and Put option could be equity classified. As a result, the Company reclassified the derivative asset recognized during the interim periods of 2023 as a reduction to equity and reversed the related mark to market adjustments recognized during the interim periods of 2023. As a result, the change in fair value of derivative assets is not reflected in the results for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
