Forward guidance

The Company reaffirms previously provided fiscal year 2022 total revenue guidance between $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion. Based on the ongoing COVID-19 related lockdowns in China resulting in energy storage product shipping delays, we see an increased risk that some of our anticipated project-related revenue will shift into the next fiscal year. As a result, we anticipate that our fiscal year 2022 total revenue will trend near the lower end of our previously announced guidance range.

Headwinds

  • Ongoing COVID-19 related lockdowns in China are resulting in energy storage product shipping delays.
  • There is an increased risk that some of the anticipated project-related revenue will shift into the next fiscal year.
  • Fiscal year 2022 total revenue is expected to trend near the lower end of the previously announced guidance range.
  • New supply chain environment has elongated expectations for project completion and revenue recognition
  • COVID-19 driven lockdown in China, delaying production of certain components scheduled for the near term
