"Our strong execution enabled us to meet our financial goals for the quarter despite the continued challenging industry conditions," said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO. "Our distributed generation business remains a key driver of our performance as demand for our complete solution products in both our residential and commercial segments remains robust. In power plant, we expect to deliver more than 500 MW of projects in the second half of this year. We are also seeing growing traction in our global SunPower® Solutions business as we booked or contracted more than 250 megawatts (MW) of agreements in the quarter. Operationally, we achieved our cost reduction targets for the quarter. Fab utilization is at 100 percent and we expect to remain fully utilized for the balance of the year. We also continued the successful ramp of our P-Series product in Mexico while starting initial P-Series production at our recently announced Chinese joint venture facility. Finally, we are benefitting from our investments in our next generation cell and module technology as we recently produced our first panels utilizing this technology on our new, leading-edge manufacturing line at our Silicon Valley research facility.

"Strategically, we continue to believe that our restructuring program will enable us to successfully navigate the current market transition while positioning us for improved financial performance. In the near-term, our focus remains on maximizing cash flow through project sales, lower operating expenses, and the potential monetization of non-core assets. In relation to 8point3 Energy Partners, our strategic review process is continuing, but we have received significant initial interest in the acquisition of our general partnership stake or in the sale of the entire partnership. Thus, we have made the decision not to actively seek a replacement partner for First Solar and to focus our efforts on the monetization of our ownership stake in the partnership. In the event we complete a sale of our ownership stake in 8point3, we believe the proceeds will provide us with additional resources to deleverage our balance sheet and retire our 2018 convertible bonds to minimize shareholder dilution and continue to execute on our restructuring plan. Additionally, depending on market conditions, we may have the opportunity to refinance our 2018 convertible bonds as well. We have also recently offered our Boulder Solar 1 project to 8point3 and potentially will offer other Right of First Offer (ROFO) projects to the partnership as well. In the event the partnership waives its rights to acquire these projects, we would sell them to third parties. In either case, we expect the sale of these ROFO projects to generate additional cash proceeds to fund our growth initiatives.

"Looking forward, we will continue to invest in innovative technologies and allocate resources to those areas that offer significant growth opportunities including our next generation cell and module technology, our complete solution product suite, energy storage, digital platforms and Smart Energy strategy, as we believe these initiatives will best position the company for long-term success. Also, our more focused approach to our power plant development activities will allow us to further invest in our leadership position in our distributed generation segments while building continuing momentum in our SunPower Solutions business. We expect these initiatives will improve our competitive position, strengthen our balance sheet and enable us to return to long-term sustained profitability." concluded Werner.

"Our second quarter results reflect our ability to execute on our diversified model in a challenging industry environment while benefitting from our corporate restructuring initiatives," said Chuck Boynton, SunPower chief financial officer. "In the near term, we continue to remain focused on prudently managing our working capital and strengthening our balance sheet. With our decision to monetize our ownership of 8point3 and expected additional non-core asset sales, we anticipate having the resources to retire our 2018 convertible bond while continuing to invest in our strategic initiatives. Given our restructuring, flexible business model and demonstrated continued support from Total, we believe we are well positioned for the future."

Second quarter fiscal 2017 non-GAAP results include net adjustments that, in the aggregate, decreased (increased) non-GAAP net loss by $44.5 million, including $2.5 million related to 8point3 Energy Partners, $2.4 million related to utility and power plant projects, $8.6 million related to stock-based compensation expense, $4.2 million related to amortization of intangible assets, $5.0 million related to restructuring expense, $21.8 million related to cost of above-market polysilicon, $(0.4) million related to other adjustments, and $0.4 million related to tax effect.

Financial Outlook

The company is updating its fiscal year 2017 revenue and gigawatt (GW) deployed guidance. The company now expects revenue of $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion on a GAAP basis and $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion on a non-GAAP basis with GW deployed in the range of 1.3 GW to 1.45 GW. This change is due to project schedule adjustments in Mexico to allow for improved project economics. Additionally, the company now expects lower than forecasted GAAP restructuring charges which will be in the range of $20 million to $60 million for the year. The balance of the company's previously disclosed fiscal year 2017 guidance remains unchanged: non-GAAP operational expenses of less than $350 million and capital expenditures of approximately $120 million. Additionally, the company continues to expect to generate positive operating cash flow through the end of fiscal year 2017 and exit the year with approximately $300 million in cash excluding any proceeds from the potential divestiture of non-core assets. The company is also forecasting positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2017 and continues to believe that cash flow and liquidity remain the key evaluation metrics for investors in the near term.

The company's third quarter fiscal 2017 GAAP guidance is as follows: revenue of $300 million to $350 million, gross margin of negative 3 percent to negative 1 percent and net loss of $120 million to $100 million. Third quarter 2017 GAAP guidance includes the impact of the company's HoldCo asset strategy and revenue and timing deferrals due to real estate accounting as well as the impact of charges related to the company's restructuring initiatives. On a non-GAAP basis, the company expects revenue of $320 million to $370 million, gross margin of 5 percent to 7 percent, Adjusted EBITDA of breakeven to $20 million and megawatts deployed in the range of 405 MW to 435 MW.

The company expects to deliver more than 500 MW of power plant projects in the second half of the year with a significant majority to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures that are adjusted for certain items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as described below. The specific non-GAAP measures listed below are: revenue; gross margin; net income (loss); net income (loss) per diluted share; and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Management believes that each of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, enabling them to better assess changes in each of these key elements of the company's results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of certain items as described below. Thus, each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method to assess the company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its ongoing, core operating performance, absent the effects of these items. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess the business, its financial performance, current and historical results, as well as for strategic decision-making and forecasting future results. Many of the analysts covering the company also use these non-GAAP measures in their analyses. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, the company believes these measures are important to investors in understanding the company's operating results as seen through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or intended to be a replacement for GAAP financial data; the non-GAAP measures should be reviewed together with the GAAP measures and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP revenue includes adjustments relating to 8point3, utility and power plant projects, the sale of operating lease assets, and sale-leaseback transactions, each as described below. In addition to those same adjustments, Non-GAAP gross margin includes adjustments relating to stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, non-cash interest expense, arbitration ruling, cost of above-market polysilicon, and other items, each as described below. In addition to those same adjustments, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share are adjusted for adjustments relating to restructuring expense, IPO-related costs, and the tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments as described below. In addition to the same adjustments as non-GAAP net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments relating to cash interest expense (net of interest income), provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation.

Non-GAAP Adjustments Based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

The company's non-GAAP results include adjustments to recognize revenue and profit under IFRS that are consistent with the adjustments made in connection with the company's reporting process as part of its status as a consolidated subsidiary of Total S.A., a foreign public registrant which reports under IFRS. Differences between GAAP and IFRS reflected in the company's non-GAAP results are further described below. In these situations, management believes that IFRS enables investors to better evaluate the company's revenue and profit generation performance, and assists in aligning the perspectives of our management and noncontrolling shareholders with those of Total S.A., our controlling shareholder.

    --  8point3. In 2015, 8point3 Energy Partners LP ("8point3 Energy
        Partners"), a joint YieldCo vehicle, was formed by the company and First
        Solar, Inc. ("First Solar" and, together with the company, the
        "Sponsors") to own, operate and acquire solar energy generation assets.
        Class A shares of 8point3 Energy Partners are now listed on the NASDAQ
        Global Select Market under the trading symbol "CAFD."  Immediately after
        the IPO, the company contributed a portfolio of 170 MW of its solar
        generation assets (the "SPWR Projects") to 8point3 Operating Company,
        LLC ("OpCo"), 8point3 Energy Partners' primary operating subsidiary.  In
        exchange for the SPWR Projects, the company received cash proceeds as
        well as equity interests in several 8point3 Energy Partners affiliated
        entities: primarily common and subordinated units representing a 40.7%
        stake in OpCo and a 50.0% economic and management stake in 8point3
        Holding Company, LLC ("Holdings"), the parent company of the general
        partner of 8point3 Energy Partners and the owner of incentive
        distribution rights in OpCo.  Holdings, OpCo, 8point3 Energy Partners
        and their respective subsidiaries are referred to herein as the "8point3
        Group" or "8point3."

The company includes adjustments related to the sales of projects contributed to 8point3 based on the difference between the fair market value of the consideration received and the net carrying value of the projects contributed, of which, a portion is deferred in proportion to the company's retained equity stake in 8point3. The deferred profit is subsequently recognized over time. With certain exceptions such as for projects already in operation, the company's revenue is equal to the fair market value of the consideration received, and cost of goods sold is equal to the net carrying value plus a partial deferral of profit proportionate with the retained equity stake. Under GAAP, these sales are recognized under either real estate, lease, or consolidation accounting guidance depending upon the nature of the individual asset contributed, with outcomes ranging from no, partial, or full profit recognition. IFRS profit, less deferrals associated with retained equity, is recognized for sales related to the residential lease portfolio. Revenue recognition for other projects sold to 8point3 is deferred until these projects reach commercial operations. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees also includes the impact of the company's share of 8point3's earnings related to sales of projects receiving sales recognition under IFRS but not GAAP.

    --  Utility and power plant projects. The company includes adjustments
        related to the revenue recognition of certain utility and power plant
        projects based on percentage-of-completion accounting and, when
        relevant, the allocation of revenue and margin to the company's project
        development efforts at the time of initial project sale. Under GAAP,
        such projects are accounted for under real estate accounting guidance,
        under which no separate allocation to the company's project development
        efforts occurs and the amount of revenue and margin that is recognized
        may be limited in circumstances where the company has certain forms of
        continuing involvement in the project. Over the life of each project,
        cumulative revenue and gross margin will eventually be equivalent under
        both GAAP and IFRS; however, revenue and gross margin will generally be
        recognized earlier under IFRS. Within each project, the relationship
        between the adjustments to revenue and gross margins is generally
        consistent. However, as the company may have multiple utility and power
        plant projects in differing stages of progress at any given time, the
        relationship in the aggregate will occasionally appear otherwise.
    --  Sale of operating lease assets. The company includes adjustments related
        to the revenue recognition on the sale of certain solar assets subject
        to an operating lease (or of solar assets that are leased by or intended
        to be leased by the third-party purchaser to another party) based on the
        net proceeds received from the purchaser. Under GAAP, these sales are
        accounted for as borrowing transactions in accordance with lease
        accounting guidance. Under such guidance, revenue and profit recognition
        is based on rental payments made by the end lessee, and the net proceeds
        from the purchaser are recorded as a non-recourse borrowing liability,
        with imputed interest expense recorded on the liability. This treatment
        continues until the company has transferred the substantial risks of
        ownership, as defined by lease accounting guidance, to the purchaser, at
        which point the sale is recognized.
    --  Sale-leaseback transactions. The company includes adjustments related to
        the revenue recognition on certain sale-leaseback transactions based on
        the net proceeds received from the buyer-lessor. Under GAAP, these
        transactions are accounted for under the financing method in accordance
        with real estate accounting guidance. Under such guidance, no revenue or
        profit is recognized at the inception of the transaction, and the net
        proceeds from the buyer-lessor are recorded as a financing liability.
        Imputed interest is recorded on the liability equal to the company's
        incremental borrowing rate adjusted solely to prevent negative
        amortization.

Other Non-GAAP Adjustments

    --  Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation relates primarily to
        the company's equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a
        non-cash expense that is dependent on market forces that are difficult
        to predict. Management believes that this adjustment for stock-based
        compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the company's
        core performance, including compared with the performance of other
        companies, without the period-to-period variability created by
        stock-based compensation.
    --  Amortization of intangible assets. The company incurs amortization of
        intangible assets as a result of acquisitions, which includes patents,
        purchased technology, project pipeline assets, and in-process research
        and development. Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude
        these amortization charges from the company's non-GAAP financial
        measures as they arise from prior acquisitions, are not reflective of
        ongoing operating results, and do not contribute to a meaningful
        evaluation of a company's past operating performance.
    --  Non-cash interest expense. The company incurs non-cash interest expense
        related to the amortization of items such as original issuance discounts
        on its debt.  The company excludes non-cash interest expense because the
        expense does not reflect its financial results in the period incurred.
        Management believes that this adjustment for non-cash interest expense
        provides investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance,
        including compared with the performance of other companies, without
        non-cash interest expense.
    --  Restructuring expense. The company incurs restructuring expenses related
        to reorganization plans aimed towards realigning resources consistent
        with the company's global strategy and improving its overall operating
        efficiency and cost structure.  Restructuring charges are excluded from
        non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core
        operating activities and such costs have historically occurred
        infrequently. Although the company has engaged in restructuring
        activities in the past, each has been a discrete event based on a unique
        set of business objectives. As such, management believes that it is
        appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from the company's non-GAAP
        financial measures as they are not reflective of ongoing operating
        results or contribute to a meaningful evaluation of a company's past
        operating performance.
    --  Arbitration ruling. On January 28, 2015, an arbitral tribunal of the
        International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of
        Commerce declared a binding partial award in the matter of an
        arbitration between First Philippine Electric Corporation ("FPEC") and
        First Philippine Solar Corporation ("FPSC") against SunPower Philippines
        Manufacturing, Ltd. ("SPML"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The
        tribunal found SPML in breach of its obligations under its supply
        agreement with FPSC, and in breach of its joint venture agreement with
        FPEC. The second partial and final awards dated July 14, 2015 and
        September 30, 2015, respectively, reduced the estimated amounts to be
        paid to FPEC, and on July 22, 2016, SPML entered into a settlement with
        FPEC and FPSC and paid a total of $50.5 million in settlement of all
        claims between the parties. As a result, the Company recorded its best
        estimate of probable loss related to this case at the time of the
        initial ruling and updated the estimate as circumstances warranted. As
        this loss is nonrecurring in nature, excluding this data provides
        investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance, including
        compared with the performance of other companies, without similar
        impacts.
    --  IPO-related costs. Costs incurred related to the IPO of 8point3 included
        legal, accounting, advisory, valuation, and other expenses, as well as
        modifications to or terminations of certain existing financing
        structures in preparation for the sale to 8point3.  As these costs are
        non-recurring in nature, excluding this data provides investors with a
        basis to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the
        performance of other companies, without similar impacts.
    --  Cost of above-market polysilicon. The Company has entered in previous
        years into multiple long-term, fixed-price supply agreements to purchase
        polysilicon for periods of up to 10 years. The prices in these supply
        agreements, which incorporate a cash portion and a non-cash portion
        attributable to the amortization of prepayments made under the
        agreements, significantly exceed market prices. Additionally, in order
        to reduce inventory and improve working capital, the Company has
        periodically elected to sell polysilicon inventory in the marketplace at
        prices below the Company's purchase price, thereby incurring a loss.
        Management believes that it is appropriate to exclude the impact of its
        above-market cost of polysilicon, including the effect of above-market
        polysilicon on product costs, losses incurred on sales of polysilicon to
        third parties, and inventory reserves and project asset impairments from
        the company's non-GAAP financial measures as they are not reflective of
        ongoing operating results and does not contribute to a meaningful
        evaluation of a company's past operating performance.
    --  Other. The company combines amounts previously disclosed under separate
        captions into "Other" when amounts do not have a significant impact on
        the presented fiscal periods. Management believes that these adjustments
        provide investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance,
        including compared with the performance of other companies, without
        similar impacts.
    --  Tax effect. This amount is used to present each of the adjustments
        described above on an after-tax basis in connection with the
        presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted
        share. The company's non-GAAP tax amount is based on estimated cash tax
        expense and reserves. The company forecasts its annual cash tax
        liability and allocates the tax to each quarter in a manner generally
        consistent with its GAAP methodology. This approach is designed to
        enhance investors' ability to understand the impact of the company's tax
        expense on its current operations, provide improved modeling accuracy,
        and substantially reduce fluctuations caused by GAAP to non-GAAP
        adjustments, which may not reflect actual cash tax expense.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA adjustments. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, in
        addition to adjustments described above, the company excludes the impact
        during the period of the following items:
        --  Cash interest expense, net of interest income
        --  Provision for (benefit from) income taxes
        --  Depreciation

Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies.

    (1)In accordance with the if-converted method, net income (loss) available to common stockholders excludes interest expense related to the 0.75%, 0.875%, and 4.0% debentures if the debentures are considered converted in the calculation of net income (loss) per diluted share.  If the conversion
     option for a debenture is not in the money for the relevant period, the potential conversion of the debenture under the if-converted method is excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share.
