Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc. (“Sunlight Financial”, "Sunlight" or the “Company”) (NYSE: SUNL), a premier, technology-enabled point-of-sale financing company, today provided financial results for the second quarter 2022.

“I'm proud of Sunlight's strong performance in the second quarter. Despite continued industry challenges with supply chain and labor constraints, we exceeded quarterly records for funded volume, number of borrowers served, and average solar loan balances due to strong demand for Sunlight's products," said Matt Potere, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlight. "This performance continues to demonstrate the value of our profitable, capital-light, cash-generative business model."

"While our relationships with depositories and our industry-leading credit quality have provided a strategic advantage in a challenging macro-economic environment, we expect materially lower near-term margins in our Indirect Channel to impact our performance in the second half of 2022," added Potere. "As recently-enacted pricing changes take effect, we expect Indirect Channel margins to return to historical levels over time."

Second Quarter 2022 Key Financial Metrics

  • Total Funded Loans of $716 million, compared with $666 million in the prior-year period
  • Total Revenue of $31.6 million, an 18% increase from the prior-year period
  • GAAP Net Income of $5.7 million, an 8% increase from the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million, relative to $11.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by incremental public company costs and the delayed sale of funded volume to 2H22
  • Adjusted Net Income of $2.3 million or $0.01 per fully-diluted share, relative to Adjusted Net Income of $9.3 million in the prior-year period
  • Total Platform Fee Margin of 4.7% (up from 4.0% in the prior-year period) and Solar Direct Channel Platform Fee Margin of 5.4% (up from 4.3% in the prior-year period)

A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information is provided in the tables below.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 16, 2022, Sunlight’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which Sunlight may repurchase up to $50 million of Sunlight’s Class A common stock over an 18-month period from the date of authorization. As of August 11, 2022, Sunlight has repurchased a total of 1,472,068 shares for a total of $5.6 million, funded through cash on hand and cash from operations. Sunlight will continue to repurchase shares pursuant to this plan in a programmatic manner, ensuring it persists as an efficient use of capital to drive shareholder return.

Full-Year 2022 Outlook

Although Sunlight has taken actions to mitigate the impacts of recent market volatility, including pricing changes and management of operational costs, rising interest rates and an increase in Indirect Channel loans are expected to negatively impact margins in the second half of 2022. Therefore, the Company is reducing its full-year 2022 guidance to the following ranges:

  • Full-Year Funded Loan Volume of $2.8 - $3.0 billion (from $2.9 - $3.1 billion)
  • Full-Year Total Revenue of $130 - $140 million (from $145 - $155 million)
  • Full-Year Adjusted EBITDA of $35 - $40 million (from $55 - $60 million) 

Conference Call Information

Sunlight will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its second quarter 2022 financial and operational results and business outlook at 5:30 PM ET today, August 15, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” "outlook," "2022 guidance," “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Sunlight disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. Sunlight cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Sunlight. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected operating and financial information with respect to Sunlight; risks related to Sunlight’s business and the timing of expected business milestones or results; global supply chain shortages, competition for skilled labor, and permitting delays; the effects of competition and regulatory risks, and the impacts of changes in legislation or regulations on Sunlight’s future business; the expiration, renewal, modification or replacement of the federal solar investment tax credit, rebates and other incentives; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Sunlight’s business or future results; Sunlight’s ability to sustain profitability and to attract and retain its relationships with third parties, including Sunlight’s capital providers and solar contractors; the financial performance of Sunlight’s capital providers and contractors; the willingness of Sunlight’s capital providers to fund loans on terms desired by relevant markets and economically favorable to Sunlight; the impact of inflation and increased interest rates on Sunlight’s capital providers and the cost and availability of credit from our capital providers as well as on the demand for solar panel installation and home improvement; changes in the retail prices of traditional utility generated electricity; the availability of solar panels, batteries and other components and raw materials; and such other risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Sunlight’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2022, Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 and Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, and other documents of Sunlight filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Sunlight’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the operating and financial information and data contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share (Diluted) or Adjusted EPS (Diluted) have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Sunlight believes these non-GAAP measures of financial and business results provide useful information to management and the reader regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Sunlight’s financial condition and results of operations. Sunlight further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial and business measures provides an additional tool for use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing Sunlight’s financial and operating measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial and operating measures to their investors and potential investors. While Adjusted EBITDA, in particular, is relevant and widely used across industries and in the industries in which Sunlight participates, they may contain or exclude adjustments, exclusions and one-time items that third parties may or may not adjust for in connection with such measure, and such measure should not be considered an alternative to any GAAP measures in evaluating the profitability of an investment in, or whether to invest in or consummate a transaction involving, Sunlight. The principal limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant items of income and expense that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Sunlight’s financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Sunlight’s management about which items of income and expense are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. The Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measure and other non-GAAP metrics used herein, including Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share (Diluted) or Adjusted EPS (Diluted) should not be relied on or considered an alternative to any GAAP measures or other measures related to the liquidity, financial condition or financial results of Sunlight. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this release.
