Chairman’s Report
A Systems Company
We have completed the Module business divestiture to Maxeon and received $10.2 million, which provides the cash needed in our Q4 plan. This restructuring and singular focus on our high-margin systems business model raised our gross margin to 25% in Q2, and we aim to further improve it to the 32%-40% range in the current Q4 quarter.
|
Figure 1. Revenue ($M) and Gross Margin (%) |
Reducing Excess Fab Inventory
Our Q3 revenue was $24.6 million, below the “above $30 million” revenue expectation I wrote in the Q2 report and the $38-$41 million previous street expectation. The fab remained overloaded because our incorrect assumption that the improvements we made allowed us to load the line with all the contracts we received during Q3, but that bloated the fab WIP to 3,615 jobs as is shown in the WW39 WIP inventory graph below. I consequently shut down new starts in the fab for five weeks, and the excess inventory dropped by 13.5% to 3,127 jobs.
2
Plan to Achieve Cash Flow Breakeven & Profitability
We now have a growing company with $88 million in annualized revenue that comes solely from the high-margin systems business. Our plan is to make that $88 million in revenue profitable as soon as possible by leaning out the organization further and increasing its efficiency using classic quality control methods. Paradoxically, our increase in orders into the line in Q3 slowed the fab down and thus again impeded revenue growth. Our plan after the five-week shutdown is to limit fab starts this quarter to produce $22 million in revenue in Q4 – and focus our engineering and operations efforts on making that $22 million more profitably, and with better quality. While it does not yet show up on the bottom line, we did make significant progress in the third quarter on our “North Star” plan to achieve profitability and cash flow independence in 2024.
The North Star plan simultaneously drives three key components of profitability: 1) reducing opex from $12,875 (all numbers in $1000s) in Q2 to $6,732 in Q3 (done) and then to our $5,918 forecast for Q4 (on track), 2) reducing our sales commissions from 36% in Q3 to 34% in Q4 and 32% in Q1, and 3) increasing gross margin from 18% in Q2 to 25% in Q3 (done) and again to 32%-40% in Q4 (on track). We have made significant progress on each North Star component, as detailed below.
Leaning Out The Organization
As shown in the headcount graph below, by the end of the second quarter (WW26), our headcount had been reduced to 415. In Q3 (WW39), two more RIFs reduced our headcount further to 321 in Q3, saving an incremental $10.6 million annually. Today (WW46), our headcount is down 33% to 285 and will be lower yet by the end of the quarter. And – as is typical – when the lean method is used, our performance has actually improved with fewer people.
Figure 3. Headcount By Work Week (Down 33%)
When our headcount reduction is combined with other cost reductions, opex was reduced from $12,875 in Q2 to $6,732 in Q3 (done), and we are on track to reduce opex to $5,918 in Q4.
3
Conclusion
Although our bottom line does not yet show it, we have made major progress in quality and our North Star profitability goals by restructuring to a systems-only company, reducing headcount by 33%, reducing our panel cost from an average cost of $0.61/watt with our new $0.25/watt contract, and our commissions from 34% as we phase in our new 30% rate. We expect these improvements to cut our operating income losses from $15.8 million in Q2 to $9.2 million in Q3 (done) and to $5.7 million in Q4. The profit improvement will improve cashflow losses in Q4 to levels already funded by the Maxeon divestiture. Our planned future cash need is less than $5 million in total cashflow needed until mid-2024. Obviously, these estimates have high uncertainty in a company with immature business processes in the current chaotic market, but the company has become fundable by existing investors with acceptable dilution.
We have established a franchise with $88 million in annualized revenue. We will build shareholder value by driving CSLR to operating profitability, which we can credibly envision for the first time.

CEO’s Report
Continued Strong Customer Demand
While our industry has reported slowing customer demand, Complete Solaria has experienced the opposite. In the third quarter the Company experienced record gross bookings of $56.4 million, a 1.4x increase over the same period last year.
Figure 4. Gross Bookings
Gross Bookings (contracts signed subject to post-launch cancellations, typically 30%)
Complete Solaria’s two most important core competencies have always been: 1) We make selling solar easy, and 2) we deliver a fast, world-class customer experience. The increase in new bookings – even in markets like California that are experiencing regulatory headwinds – proves that our model effectively drives customer demand.
Improving the Fab
We have made progress in reducing the excess inventory in our fab, the primary cause of project delays. These delays come from both external factors such as long permitting and utility approval cycles, but primarily from internal factors such as quality of execution and difficulty in scaling our corporate business processes rapidly to beyond the $88 million revenue level we are at. The compounding effect of record new orders and delayed project completions resulted in significant wait times for many customers and a reduction in customer satisfaction, which improved in Q3 but has not yet returned to historical levels.
5
To improve the customer experience, we need to further reduce fab WIP by limiting the number of new projects we launch into the fab. Specific actions we have taken to accomplish this include:
| 1. | Shutting down new order launches for five weeks during Q3 to kick-start fab WIP reduction. |
| 2. | Establishing a Quality Department led by an experienced VP Quality. The department is responsible for reducing rework and defects that slow down our business processes. It has defined and implemented strict quality gates at project launch to control WIP and to avoid installation errors. This is the main reason we are throttling our revenue to $22 million in Q4. |
| 3. | Hiring a VP IT to increase the scalability of our IT systems. |
| 4. | Extending the engagements of senior consultants in IT, fab management, quality and customer service management to help us scale more quickly. |
These actions have already resulted in a significant reduction of our fab inventory as shown. However, there are still many aged projects in our fab, which will flush out over the next two quarters, during which we will return to our faster historical cycle times.
Improving Gross Margin
We improved gross margin from 18% in Q2 to 25% in Q3. The primary contributors to the improvement in Q3 were reductions in the cost of solar modules and other equipment and reduced headcount. These gains were partially offset by an increase in installation labor, especially in the Northeastern US. We invested in four internal installation teams which will provide lower Q4 installation costs. Our “GM47” project, which I personally run, is targeted to add ten percentage points to our Q3 GM of 25% this quarter, as quantified below:
Figure 5. Gross Margin Improvement by Quarter
We are targeting 32%-40% Q4 gross margin as driven by lower solar panel, inverter, and battery pricing, as well as the benefits of using lower-cost internal installation teams.
6
Conclusion
Complete Solaria now focuses solely on what it does best – the Systems business. We are striving to regain our prior performance in rapid fulfilment and customer satisfaction. Investors will see a steady improvement in our financial metrics.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and other non-GAAP measures are intended as supplemental financial measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the use of Non-GAAP measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results, trends, and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar Non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
However, you should be aware that when evaluating the non-GAAP measures, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and other non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate the non-GAAP measures in the same fashion.
