RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Nov. 10, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2025 ("Q3 2025") and reiterated full year financial guidance for total sales and Adjusted EBITDA.
"Our third quarter results reflected increased residential demand for solar and battery storage due to sweeping changes in tax credits associated with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) earlier this year," said Scott Maskin, Chief Executive Officer. "This new legislation has accelerated near-term solar adoption in our markets, while dramatically changing and likely adding additional challenges to the long-term industry landscape. We are focused on the opportunities and continue to prepare for what lies ahead.
"We believe that our diversification across residential solar and storage, commercial, service, and roofing remains one of our greatest strengths. Combined with our geographic presence in states with the highest per-kilowatt-hour energy costs, we are well positioned to weather the turbulence created by the abrupt withdrawal of the 25D tax credit. While expansion and M&A opportunities continue to present themselves, our focus remains on executing what we do best - right here, in the markets we know best. We will continue to strengthen our foundation by adding adjacent services such as HVAC, with a focus on energy efficiency, by deepening relationships with our existing customers through expanded offerings, and building market share by offering maintenance, repair, and support services to owners of solar systems whose original installers have gone out of business or can no longer be reached. What we will not do is panic or fall victim to knee-jerk reactions. After 22 years of riding this solar coaster, we bring experience, confidence, and steady hands to this moment. Q1 2026 will be a transitional quarter that provides valuable insight into the state of the industry overall. Our product offerings are strong, energy costs continue to rise, and we're well past the inflection point of adoption."
James Brennan, SUNation's Chief Financial Officer, said, "The benefits from our restructuring and debt reduction initiatives allowed us to capitalize on increased residential demand with efficiency and scale. For the third quarter of 2025, we generated higher sales and improved gross margin, significantly narrowed our losses, and produced $900,000 in Adjusted EBITDA. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet; cash of $5.4 million at quarter end was the highest in three years and we have reduced debt by more than $11.0 million from December 31, 2024. As we continue to prepare for what we believe may be a dramatically changed business landscape 2026, we expect to end 2025 with a strong fourth quarter and remain confident in our ability to meet our full year financial guidance."
Q3 2025 Financial Results Overview
Comparisons are to the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 ("Q3 2024") unless otherwise noted
- Total sales rose 29% to $19.0 million from $14.7 million, driven by a 54% increase in consolidated residential sales at SUNation NY and Hawaii Energy Connection ("HEC") and a 72% increase in service revenue, partially offset by a decline in commercial contracts.
- Consolidated gross profit improved to $7.2 million, or 38.0% of sales, from gross profit of $5.2 million, or 35.6% of sales, driven by higher residential margins.
- Total operating expenses rose to $7.5 million from $6.8 million; as a percentage of sales, total operating expenses improved to 39.3% from 46.5%.
- Net loss improved to $(0.4) million from a net loss of $(3.3) million.
- Adjusted EBITDA improved to $0.9 million from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.0) million.
Financial Condition at September 30, 2025
- Cash and cash equivalents improved to $5.4 million from $0.8 million at December 31, 2024. Restricted cash and equivalents was stable at $0.3 million.
- Total debt, which included earnout consideration of $1.0 million, improved 59% to $7.9 million from $19.1 million at December 31, 2024.
- Accounts payable improved to $7.3 million from $8.0 million at December 31, 2024.
- Current liabilities improved to $19.0 million from $27.2 million at December 31, 2024.
- Stockholders' equity improved to $21.7 million from $8.5 million at December 31, 2024.
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.
