New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$322m free cash flow). Negative equity (-US$288m). Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 29x increase in shares outstanding).

The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Files Securities Fraud Lawsuit Against Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announced that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Wayne v. Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., et al., (Case No. 3:24-cv-03869) on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (“Maxeon” or the “Company”) securities between November 15, 2023 and May 29, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff pursues claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Investors are hereby notified that they have until 60 days from this notice to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action. On May 30, 2024, before the market opened, Maxeon announced financial results for first quarter 2024 in a press release, reporting a 41% year-over-year decline in revenue to $187.5 million. The Company disclosed that it was “facing a serious cash flow challenge” as the result of, in part, the termination of the SunPower supply agreement. The Company revealed that, as a result, it was forced to “negotiate[] commitments for significant liquidity support” which will result in “substantial dilution to existing public shareholders, with TZE [TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co. Ltd.] ultimately becoming a controlling shareholder.” The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Maxeon relied on the exclusive sales of certain products to SunPower; (2) that, following the termination of the Master Supply Agreement, the Company was unable to “aggressively ramp sales”; (3) that, as a result, revenue substantially declined; (4) that, as a result, the Company suffered a “serious cash flow” crisis; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. to Showcase Latest Solar Energy Innovations and New Panel Technologies At Intersolar Europe 2024 Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. announced its presence at Intersolar Europe 2024June 19-21, where it will showcase its latest SunPower branded energy solutions and solar panel technologies at Booth A1.350. Maxeon will be exhibiting its residential home energy system, featuring a suite of products and services that empower consumers to manage and optimise their home energy consumption and the use of self-generated clean energy. Products on display include its new Maxeon 7 solar panels pioneering the future of PV technology, Performance 7 solar panels, SunPower Reserve battery storage and SunPower Drive EV charging. Maxeon 7 panels produce 2X more energy over time than other solar panels,1 with over 24% efficiency and superior shade tolerance, and feature a leading 40-year power, product, and service warranty. The Company will also be discussing its recently published field testing demonstrating that Maxeon 7 IBC cells exhibit 70% lower average temperature rise in partial shading compared to competing technologies, eliminating the risk of hotspots. Alongside the Maxeon line, the company will be exhibiting its Performance 7 product, the newest generation of its Performance line of solar panels, with high efficiency TOPCon cell technology offering solar customers improved aesthetics, increased mono or bifacial energy generation, and a lower temperature coefficient for enhanced output in high-temperature environments. This new line of panels also features a robust 30-year power, product, and service warranty. A strong focus at Intersolar will be on SunPower Reserve home energy storage solution and the advanced SunPower Drive EV charger. These products are integrated through a reimagined consumer experience driven by the SunPower One app for homeowners. The SunPower One app goes beyond just monitoring the output of a homeowner's solar panels. It also proactively offers users energy insights that show in detail the devices that are consuming electricity in the home, highlighting opportunities to better utilise PV production, battery capacity, and EV charging scheduling to enhance financial savings. Further Maxeon innovation at the event will include its Maxeon Air flexible solar panels, based on the company's IBC cells. Maxeon Air is a disruptive solar panel technology expected to enable new markets while reducing logistics and installation costs. A frameless, thin, lightweight solar panel, Maxeon Air is ideal for unique installations requiring reduced roof weight loads. At the booth, visitors also have the opportunity to delve into the company's IBC Cell Lab, where they can experience what exceptional real-world performance looks like at the solar cell level, including custom cells for consumer product applications like solar cars and solar watches.

Maxeon Innovation in IBC Solar Panels Eliminates Hotspot Risk Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. has extended its technology leadership with published results confirming the resilience of its Maxeon Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) panels against damaging hotspots. Hotspots are concentrated areas of heat energy that predominantly result from shaded or cracked solar cells. In a white paper released, the Company shared the results of its internal research and development (R&D) study on hotspots, featuring Maxeon IBC panels including its new Maxeon 7 line, alongside a series of competing technologies comprising half-cell ribbon-based back contact, half-cell heterojunction (HJT), and half-cell front contact tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) panels. Maxeon IBC panels provide solar customers with safer, more reliable energy that mitigates the development of extreme hotspots that can irreparably damage standard panels. Maxeon's resiliency against hotspots builds on its long history of delivering the industry's most advanced solar panels, optimizing the balance between product performance and reliability—a critical factor in being the only manufacturer to offer a comprehensive 40-year warranty on its panels. Maxeon's engineering team carried out the competitive assessment at the company's R&D test lab in California, USA. Panels were tested first under full-sun conditions to determine the speed and severity at which hotspots can form as solar cells then become partially shaded—a state of operation that forces cells to begin converting power from surrounding cells into heat energy. Maxeon 7 IBC panels were found to mitigate the long-term degradation risk of panel materials by better minimizing that heat build-up in shaded cells—staying an average of 67 °C (153 °F) cooler than the ribbon-based back contact, HJT and TOPCon technologies tested. Additionally, when subjected to simulated bypass diode failure—the primary defense mechanism of standard solar panels against hotspots—the patented electrical architecture of the Maxeon IBC cell continued to limit heat build-up in the shaded cells. As a result, Maxeon IBC panels were inherently protected from the severe backsheet discoloration, bubbling, and burning that was witnessed in the standard ribbon-based back contact, HJT, and TOPCon panels under the same test conditions. As competitive technologies rapidly spiraled toward complete panel failure, Maxeon 7 IBC panels maintained a stable temperature in the shaded cell, even without the protection of the bypass diode.
