SunPower CEO, T.J. Rodgers, said, "After four consecutive Preliminary Quarter Reports with positive operating income, we lost money in Q1'26 due to lower revenue combined with a ramp in spending for anticipated Q3'26 growth, which we still believe will happen."

___________________________________1 Non-GAAP Operating income is based on preliminary, unaudited non-GAAP results posted on the IR section of our website under "News" [us.sunpower.com].2 Our 2025 GAAP financial statements are found in the 10K filing posted on our website.3 Our non-GAAP financials are used to run the company. Our policy allows for only three GAAP/non-GAAP differences: a) no non-cash amortization of intangibles, b) no employee stock compensation charges and c) no one-time restructuring M&A gains or losses.4 Restated 10Q results consistent with adjustments in the 2025 10K report, and upcoming Q1'25-Q3'25 restatements5 Cash balances exclude restricted cash and include issued but uncashed checks.

The financial results for revenue and non-GAAP operating income for the yearly (10K) and quarterly (restated 10Q) are presented below compared to the Prior Quarterly Reports.

The standard auditing method is to sample line items from our books and ask us to retrieve and supply independent third-party documentation that proves the books are accurate.
