Solar Alliance achieves first profitable quarter in Company’s commercial solar history with $975,000 net income in Q3

Contracted backlog of $5.4 million supports responsible growth into 2024

/EIN News/ -- TORONTO and KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR), a leading solar energy solutions provider focused on the commercial and industrial solar sector, announces it has filed its unaudited financial results for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s Financial Statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

“The third quarter of 2023 was transformative for Solar Alliance as we delivered net income of $975,000 through responsible growth in the U.S. commercial solar sector,” said CEO Myke Clark. “Our strategic focus on larger, higher margin commercial solar projects, combined with diligent cost control, has resulted in stronger gross margins and the first profitable quarter in the Company’s commercial solar history. Solar Alliance has been clear in our signal to the market that our key focus was targeting profitability, and we are pleased to have achieved this significant milestone in Q3.”

“The combination of revenue to date, the contracted backlog of projects that is expected to be built before the end of the year and significant work-in-process support another strong year of growth. We have managed our contracted backlog, which is approximately $5.4 million, to a level that we feel allows rapid conversion to revenue while still maintaining our highest standards of execution. We remain committed to growing the Company with an emphasis on profitability and we believe our business plan and contracted backlog support this strategy,” concluded Clark.

Financial highlights

  • Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023, of $975,712, compared to a net loss of $220,529 in the comparable prior year period.
  • Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $2,410,725 compared to $2,753,628 in the same period in 2022 reflecting the Company’s disciplined focus on larger, higher margin projects in its construction pipeline.
  • Cost of sales of $922,934 (Q3, 2022: $2,185,366) resulting in a gross profit of $1,487,791 (Q3, 2022: $568,262).
  • Total expenses for the period were $600,316, a reduction from $1,240,250 in the comparable period in 2022, as the Company continues to identify and implement overhead efficiencies.
  • Cash balance of $400,923 as of September 30, 2023.
  • Contracted project backlog of approximately $5,400,000 supports expected continued revenue growth into 2024.

Business highlights

Contracted project backlog of $5.4 million. The Company continued to add to its backlog of contracted projects in Q3 2023. This solar project backlog provides a strong foundation for growth during the balance of 2023 and into 2024. The backlog has been driven by the transition to larger commercial solar system sales and is backed by several key projects:

  • Construction commenced on a 565 kilowatt (“kW”) commercial solar project for a manufacturing client in Tennessee announced on May 31, 2023. The project is currently targeted for completion by the end of 2023.
  • Construction commenced on an 872-kW solar project in Tennessee announced on February 13, 2023, with a $1.8 million capital cost. Design and engineering on the project began in Q2 2023 with completion targeted by the end of 2023.
  • Two projects, 250-kW and 299-kW, for a Tennessee client announced on July 10, 2023. The two projects, with a capital cost of $1.58 million, are scheduled to begin construction in Q4 2023 and are currently targeted for completion in Q1 2024.

Affiliate Program launched. In support of the Company’s organic growth strategy in the Southeast U.S., the Company announced the launch of the Solar Alliance Affiliate Program on September 12, 2023 (the “Affiliate Program”). The Affiliate Program provides independent sales organizations with access to branded marketing materials, design, engineering and installation management services. In return, the affiliates bring commercial solar opportunities to Solar Alliance. The Affiliate Program is initially focused on the Southeast U.S. market and has the potential to be expanded to additional regions in the U.S. Solar Alliance has signed the first Affiliate Agreement with Market Street Solar, a North Carolina-based company.

Large solar system sales. The Company continues to target larger customers for third-party solar system sales and installations, specifically for commercial and industrial customers. Solar Alliance’s strategy is to design, engineer and install commercial solar systems ranging in size up to several megawatts.

Corporate growth opportunities. Solar Alliance continues to source and assess acquisition opportunities that meet the Company’s criteria of profitability, market opportunity and strong management teams. The Company is also pursuing corporate opportunities to expand through partnerships, joint ventures or other initiatives.
