"Strong customer demand in our global DG business, combined with our continuing cost control initiatives, enabled us to exceed our forecasts for the quarter," said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO and chairman of the board. "We also made significant progress on our previously announced efforts to delever our balance sheet and simplify our business model with the monetization of our ownership stake in 8point3 Energy Partners and the planned sale of our microinverter assets to Enphase, as previously announced. Strategically, we remain committed to achieving sustainable profitability, scaling our NGT and improving cash flow.

"We expect to transition to our new upstream and downstream segmentation by the first quarter of 2019. This decision will allow us to focus our downstream efforts on the higher-margin U.S. DG business while growing global sales of our upstream solar panel business through our SunPower Solutions group. Also, this structure will provide the resources to invest in those areas that offer the highest differentiation and growth potential including our industry-leading NGT cell and panel technology, solar-plus-storage solutions, as well as expanding our grid-services offerings," concluded Werner.

"Demand for our industry-leading solutions, as well as the prudent management of our expenses, enabled us to surpass our forecasts," said Manavendra Sial, SunPower chief financial officer. "We were also pleased with the completion of the first phase of our asset monetization strategy as we expect these transactions, as well as others, will provide us with the resources we need to invest in our core growth opportunities that especially enhance our DG business. Additionally, in preparation for our new segmentation, we successfully implemented several lean corporate expense initiatives which will streamline our decision-making processes and reduce future corporate run rate costs. With our cash flow focused strategy, improved balance sheet and the benefits of the transition to our new segmentation in the fourth quarter, we are well positioned to achieve our financial goals this year."

Also, the company continues to execute on its technology roadmaps, including the ramp of its NGT cell and panel technology which is ahead of plan. As a result of this progress the company has made the decision to transition its existing interdigitated back contact (IBC) capacity to NGT cell and panel technology. Accordingly, the company expects to upgrade certain equipment associated with its manufacturing operations for the production of NGT over the next several years. In connection with this evaluation, and other factors, the company recognized non-cash impairment charges of approximately $369.2 million in the second quarter related to the value of its legacy manufacturing assets. Additionally, SunPower remains committed to expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint and is continuing to work to complete its planned acquisition of SolarWorld Americas. Following closing, which is subject to certain conditions, the company plans to manufacture its proprietary P-Series technology at the SolarWorld Americas Oregon plant.

Second quarter fiscal year (FY) 2018 non-GAAP results exclude net adjustments that, in the aggregate, improved non-GAAP earnings by $445.2 million, including $369.2 million related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, $50.4 million related to impairment of residential lease assets, $16.7 million related to cost of above market polysilicon, $6.6 million related to stock-based compensation expense, $4.2 million related to sale-leaseback transactions, $3.5 million related to restructuring expense, $2.4 million related to intangibles, and $1.1 million related to tax effect, partially offset by $8.3 million related to 8point3 Energy Partners tax indemnifications and $0.6 million related to utility and power plant projects.

Financial Outlook

The company's third quarter and FY 2018 GAAP and non-GAAP guidance reflects the impact related to the section 201 trade case.

The company's third quarter GAAP guidance is as follows: revenue of $425 million to $475 million, gross margin of negative 1.0 percent to positive 1.0 percent and a net loss of $215 million to $195 million. Third quarter 2018 GAAP guidance includes the impact of revenue and timing deferrals due to sale-leaseback transactions as well as charges related to the company's restructuring initiatives. On a non-GAAP basis, the company expects revenue of $450 million to $500 million, gross margin of 6 percent to 8 percent, Adjusted EBITDA of negative $10 million to positive $10 million and megawatts (MW) deployed in the range of 400 MW to 430 MW. Third quarter guidance excludes the impact of the company's proposed acquisition of SolarWorld Americas as well as the potential financial impact of timing differences related to its previously announced proposed asset sales. Additionally, third quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance assumes an approximate $10 million inventory charge related to the company's second quarter impairment of legacy manufacturing assets.

For FY 2018, the company now expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $95 million to $125 million compared to its previous guidance of $75 million to $125 million. Additionally, as a result of the asset impairment charge in the second quarter of 2018, the company expects its FY 2018 GAAP net loss to be in the range of $830 million to $860 million. The balance of the company's FY 2018 non-GAAP guidance remains unchanged.

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 profit/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, and sale-leaseback transactions, each as described below. In addition to those same adjustments, Non-GAAP gross profit/margin includes adjustments relating to impairment of property, plant and equipment, impairment of residential lease assets, cost of above-market polysilicon, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of idle equipment, and non-cash interest expense, 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, the tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments, and other items, each 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%
        (since reduced to 36.5% via a secondary issuance of shares in fiscal
        2016) 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 previously 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. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, 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. The company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method, which required the company to restate each prior period presented. The company recorded a material amount of deferred profit associated with projects sold to 8point3 in 2015, the majority of which had previously been deferred under real estate accounting. Accordingly, the company's carrying value in the 8point3 materially increased upon adoption which required the company to evaluate its investment in 8point3 for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). In accordance with such evaluation, the company recognized a non-cash impairment charge on the 8point3 investment balance in the prior periods that were affected. On June 19, 2018, the company sold its equity interest in 8point3.

    --  Utility and power plant projects. The company includes adjustments
        related to the revenue recognition of certain utility and power plant
        projects based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total
        estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations and, when
        relevant, the allocation of revenue and margin to the company's project
        development efforts at the time of initial project sale. Prior to the
        adoption of ASC 606, 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. Under ASC 606,
        such projects are accounted for when the customer obtains control of the
        promised goods or services which generally results in earlier
        recognition of revenue and profit than previous GAAP. Over the life of
        each project, cumulative revenue and gross profit will eventually be
        equivalent under both ASC 606 and non-GAAP once these projects are
        completed.
    --  Sale-leaseback transactions. The company includes adjustments primarily
        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

    --  Impairment of property, plant, and equipment. In the second quarter of
        fiscal 2018, the company announced its proposed plan to change the
        corporate structure into the Upstream business unit and Downstream
        business unit, and long-term strategy to replace IBC technology to NGT. 
        Accordingly, the company expects to upgrade the equipment associated
        with our manufacturing operations for the production of NGT over the
        next several years. In connection with these events, the company
        determined indicators of impairment existed and therefore performed an
        evaluation of the recoverability of the asset group. In accordance with
        such evaluation, the company recognized a non-cash impairment charge on
        its property, plant and equipment. Such asset impairment is excluded
        from the company's segment results as it is non-cash in nature and not
        reflective of ongoing segment results.
    --  Impairment of residential lease assets. In the fourth quarter of fiscal
        2017, the Company made the decision to sell or refinance its interest in
        the residential lease portfolio and as a result of this triggering
        event, determined it was necessary to evaluate the potential for
        impairment in its ability to recover the carrying amount of the
        residential lease portfolio. In accordance with such evaluation, the
        Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge on its solar power
        systems leased and to be leased and an allowance for losses related
        financing receivables. In connection with the impairment loss, the
        carrying values of the Company's solar power systems leased and to be
        leased were reduced which resulted in lower depreciation charges. Such
        asset impairment and its corresponding depreciation savings are excluded
        from the Company's segment results as they are non-cash in nature and
        not reflective of ongoing segment results.
    --  Cost of above-market polysilicon. The company has entered into multiple
        long-term, fixed-price supply agreements to purchase polysilicon for
        periods of up to 10 years. The prices in select legacy supply
        agreements, which incorporate a cash portion and a non-cash portion
        attributable to the amortization of prepayments made under the
        agreements, significantly exceed current 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 do not contribute to a meaningful
        evaluation of a company's past operating performance.
    --  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.
    --  Depreciation of idle equipment. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the
        company changed the deployment plan for its next generation of solar
        cell technology, and revised its depreciation estimates to reflect the
        use of certain assets over its shortened useful life. Such asset
        depreciation is excluded from the company's non-GAAP financial measures
        as it is non-cash in nature and not reflective of ongoing operating
        results. Excluding this data provides investors with a basis to compare
        the company's performance against the performance of other companies
        without such charges.
    --  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.
    --  IPO-related costs. Costs incurred related to the IPO of 8point3 included
        legal, accounting, advisory, valuation, and other expenses.  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.
    --  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 (loss) and non-GAAP net income
        (loss) 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
