“In the second quarter of 2022, we continued to execute on our strategic plan initiated in 2021,” said Jeffrey Peck, Chief Executive Officer of iSun. “iSun made several strategic investments to transform the company and position it for the future. These strategic investments were designed to diversify our revenue mix, and secure project pipelines that iSun develops, constructs, and holds a minority ownership in. We are just beginning to see the benefits of these strategic initiatives and investments. In the second quarter of 2022, we tripled our revenue over the same period in 2021. Customer demand continued to accelerate, with new demand of $35.7 million generated in the quarter, increasing our backlog to $147.9 million.

YTD revenue was $31.6 million representing a $19.9 million or 172% increase over the same period in 2022.

We continue to focus our efforts on strengthening our balance sheet to improve our cash position and liquidity ratios. Our collections remain strong, and we have invested in inventory to meet the needs of our growing customer backlog and mitigate supply chain risks. We recognize the need to clean up our balance sheet following the multiple acquisitions that were successfully closed during 2021. We are in active conversations to secure a new debt facility that will refinance our existing debt, properly collateralize the assets from our investments and acquisitions, and provide the capital necessary to continue our growth trajectory. We anticipate closing prior to the end of the third quarter.

Outlook

iSun’s investments perfectly positions us to respond to the increase in energy demand associated with automotive electrification, and make iSun an indispensable partner to consumers, businesses, industries, and utilities as they transition to renewable energy sources. With the recent climate legislation, we anticipate a more favorable environment for solar development and EV infrastructure. Our breadth of capabilities and depth of services position us to continue our growth trajectory. We now have a platform that can deliver a full suite of services. We have assembled a team that has the experience and expertise to execute on our capabilities. We have tremendous demand, and a growing customer base. We are confident that these conditions will continue to accelerate our established year-over-year revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to net loss in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other expenses, certain legal services costs, professional and consulting fees and expenses, and one-time Reverse Merger and Recapitalization expenses and certain adjustments. We believe that these non-GAAP measures illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures, particularly Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our performance would have material limitations because such calculations are based on a subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. We compensate for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our operating results. Although other companies may report measures entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar in nature, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s Adjusted EBITDA or similar measures. As a result, the methods that we use to calculate Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are shown in the table below:
