Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc. (“Sunlight Financial”,
"Sunlight" or the “Company”) (NYSE: SUNL), a premier,
technology-enabled point-of-sale finance company, today announced
its results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022.
“While 2022 was a challenging year for the Company and the
residential solar industry overall, Sunlight continued to execute
on its operational metrics, funding 15% more loans than in 2021,
increasing the average solar loan balance to $46 thousand and
serving over 79 thousand borrowers throughout 2022," said Matt
Potere, Chief Executive Officer of Sunlight. "As we turn to 2023, I
am excited to return to profitability, supported by the
comprehensive financing agreement we recently signed with Cross
River Bank."
Full Year 2022 Key Operational and Financial Metrics
- Funded loans of $2.9 billion, up 15% from $2.5 billion in the
prior-year period
- Average solar loan balance of $45,507, up 13% from $40,436 in
the prior-year period
- 79,302 borrowers served, up 12% from 70,938 in the prior-year
period
- Total Revenue of $101.1 million, relative to $120.6 million in
the prior-year period, primarily driven by the impact of higher
interest rates on our Indirect Channel
- GAAP Net Loss of $(511.9) million, relative to $(241.0) million
in the prior-year period, primarily due to a $445.8 million
non-cash impairment of Goodwill driven by challenges in the
macro-economic environment
- Adjusted EBITDA of $(35.7) million, relative to $52.9 million
in the prior-year period, primarily driven by the deterioration of
the Indirect Channel and increased provisions for losses
- Total Platform Fee Margin of 3.7% (relative to 4.4% in the
prior-year period), Direct Channel Platform Fee Margin of 5.6% (up
from 5.1% in the prior-year period) and Indirect Channel Platform
Fee Margin of (2.4)% (relative to 3.1% in the prior-year
period)
- Total cumulative funded loans of $9.0 billion as of December
31, 2022
Fourth Quarter 2022 Key Operational and Financial
Metrics

the prior-year period
- 19,399 borrowers served, up 6% from 18,225 in the prior-year
period
- 1,997 active contractor relationships, up 32% from 1,509 in the
prior-year period
- Total Revenue of $6.3 million, relative to $36.6 million in the
prior-year period, driven by a $(24) million loss in the Indirect
Channel
- GAAP Net Loss of $(79.5) million, including a $61.4 million
non-cash impairment of Goodwill, relative to GAAP Net Loss of
$(226.7) million in the prior-year period
- Adjusted EBITDA of $(23.3) million, relative to $18.5 million
in the prior-year period, primarily driven by the deterioration of
the Indirect Channel and increased provisions for losses
- Total Platform Fee Margin of 0.5% (relative to 5.3% in the
prior-year period), Direct Channel Platform Fee Margin of 6.2% (up
from 5.7% in the prior-year period) and Indirect Channel Platform
Fee Margin of (10.5)% (relative to 4.2% in the prior-year
period)
First Quarter 2023 Key Operational Metrics
- Funded loans of $627.4 million, up 6% from $592.6 million in
the prior-year period; however, volume headwinds expected for
full-year 2023
- Average solar loan balance of $46,810, up 6% from $43,999 in
the prior-year period
- 2,070 active contractor relationships, up 30% from 1,589 in the
prior-year period
- 15,799 borrowers served relative to 16,757 in the prior-year

A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP
information is provided in the tables below.
Update on Key Priorities
- Enhance Indirect Channel Execution: Sunlight completed
an Indirect Channel loan sale of $228 million in December 2022. As
of March 31, 2023 the Cross River Bank (CRB) Warehouse Facility
balance was $764 million which has been partially reduced by a $296
million sale of Indirect Channel loans in April 2023. In addition,
the recently-closed CRB Financing Agreements provide for an
increase in the loan cap for the CRB Warehouse Facility and extends
its maturity for an additional two years, enabling Sunlight to
continue originating loans in the Indirect Channel.
- Bolster Liquidity: The CRB Financing Agreements include
an $89 million New Term Loan to pay fees, accrued interest and
deferred proceeds to CRB, and for general corporate purposes.
- Ensure Profitable Pricing: Since the third quarter of
2022, the Company has been eliminating unprofitable products and
materially raising pricing, ensuring that recently credit-approved
loans are profitable in both the Direct and Indirect Channels.
- Right-Size Expense Base: Since the fourth quarter of
2022, Sunlight has been implementing expense reduction actions to
save on costs related to vendors, technology, and
compensation.
- Reduce Contractor Advance Program: In the fourth quarter
of 2022, Sunlight re-underwrote all advance program partners and
tightened advance criteria. In the first quarter of 2023, the
Company suspended the Contractor Advance Program and has
significantly reduced outstanding advances.
- Address SVB Credit Facility Maturity: Sunlight's
revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank was set to
mature in April 2023. Upon closing of the CRB Financing Agreements,
outstanding borrowings under the SVB Facility of $3.6 million were
paid off with the New Term Loan.
Review of Strategic Alternatives
As previously announced on November 14, 2022, Sunlight's Board
of Directors has undertaken a review of strategic alternatives for
the Company. The Cross River Bank financing agreement aligns with
the goals of the strategic alternatives process and the Board is
continuing to review additional actions to maximize value.
Conference Call Information
Sunlight will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its
fourth quarter and full-year 2022 financial and operational results
and business outlook at 5:30 PM ET today, May 4, 2023. The
conference call will be webcast live from the Company's investor
relations website at ir.sunlightfinancial.com. A replay will be
available on the investor relations website following the call.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information included herein and in any oral statements made
in connection herewith may include “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by
the use of words such as “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “may,”
“believe,” “anticipate,” "outlook," "2022 guidance," “intend,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “continue,” or the
negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These
forward-looking statements are based on management’s current
expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on
currently available information as to the outcome and timing of
future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law,
Sunlight disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking
statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements
in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof. Sunlight cautions you that these forward-looking statements
are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of
Sunlight. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: the
ability to consummate a strategic alternative in the timeframe and
on terms and conditions favorable to the Company and its
stakeholders, material adverse impacts from macro-economic
conditions including unprecedented interest rate increases on
business, profitability and cash-flow, risks relating to our
ability to secure relief from our current bank covenants, risks
relating to the uncertainty of the projected operating and
financial information with respect to Sunlight; risks related to
Sunlight’s business and the timing of expected business milestones
or results; global supply chain shortages, competition for skilled
labor, and permitting delays; the effects of competition and
regulatory risks, and the impacts of changes in legislation or
regulations on Sunlight’s future business; the expiration, renewal,
modification or replacement of the federal solar investment tax
credit, rebates and other incentives; the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on Sunlight’s business or future results; Sunlight’s
ability to sustain profitability and to attract and retain its
relationships with third parties, including Sunlight’s capital
providers and solar contractors; the financial performance of
Sunlight’s capital providers and contractors; the willingness of
Sunlight’s capital providers to fund loans on terms desired by
relevant markets and economically favorable to Sunlight; the impact
of inflation and increased interest rates on Sunlight’s capital
providers and the cost and availability of credit from our capital
providers as well as on the demand for solar panel installation and
home improvement; changes in the retail prices of traditional
utility generated electricity; the availability of solar panels,
batteries and other components and raw materials; and such other
risks and uncertainties discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of
Sunlight’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on May 4, 2023. Should one or more of the risks
or uncertainties described herein occur, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Sunlight’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website
at www.sec.gov.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the operating and financial information and data
contained in this press release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Class A Share
have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Sunlight believes these
non-GAAP measures of financial and business results provide useful
information to management and the reader regarding certain
financial and business trends relating to Sunlight’s financial
condition and results of operations. Sunlight further believes that
the use of these non-GAAP financial and business measures provides
an additional tool for use in evaluating projected operating
results and trends and in comparing Sunlight’s financial and
operating measures with other similar companies, many of which
present similar non-GAAP financial and operating measures to their
investors and potential investors. While Adjusted EBITDA, in
particular, is relevant and widely used across industries and in
the industries in which Sunlight participates, they may contain or
exclude adjustments, exclusions and one-time items that third
parties may or may not adjust for in connection with such measure,
and such measure should not be considered an alternative to any
GAAP measures in evaluating the profitability of an investment in,
or whether to invest in or consummate a transaction involving,
Sunlight. The principal limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP
financial measure is that it excludes significant items of income
and expense that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Sunlight’s
financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent
limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by Sunlight’s
management about which items of income and expense are excluded or
included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. The
Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP financial measure and other non-GAAP
metrics used herein, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net
Income (Loss) per Class A Share should not be relied on or
considered an alternative to any GAAP measures or other measures
related to the liquidity, financial condition or financial results
of Sunlight. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in
the accompanying tables to this release.
