Sunworks Inc.(vorm. Solar 3D)

q4 erneut schlecht.... kaum umsatz, einbrechende margen und natürlich unterm strich ein verlust..... aber was anderes kann man bei der pommesbude nicht erwarten.... und wie jedes jahr: "The company expects to be profitable for the full year of 2018." .... hab popcorn in der hand und den sekt schonmal kalt gestellt!

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/03/08/...ns-for-2018.html  

Sinkende Umsätze, Strafzölle, keine neuen Aufträge... sieht übel aus. Einziger Lichtblick: Der Cashbestand bleibt stabil bei 6.4 Mio.

The company had $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017. The company had $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017.  

das q4 war erneut eine katastrophe. der umsatz lag bei lediglich $19,3mio, die marge bei 5% und unterm strich steht ein verlust von $3,4mio.!

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1172631/...04031/form10-k.htm

zu beginn des letzten jahres hat sich der ceo also ziemlich weit aus dem fenster gelehnt - allerdings wusste er vermutlich nicht, welche leichen im keller versteckt sind. dennoch hat sich etwas bewegt:

1. kosten wurden reduziert

In 2017, our selling, general and administrative expenses excluding stock based compensation totaled $18.8 million, which was almost 22% below the 2016 level. More specifically we reduced our sales and marketing cost by almost half, from $12.3 million in 2016 to $6.5 million in 2017.

2. verbesserte interne kontrollen

...to ensure greater focus on predictability, profitability and cash generation. In the second half of 2017, we spoke frequently about the cleanup required for a number of old projects that were completed at much lower margins than we had originally estimated and recorded them at. In addition, we discovered that many projects were originally accepted at profit margins that today would not be acceptable......new projects entering backlog in 2018 have better margins.

3. aus 8 mach 5

...we streamlined our executive leadership team in an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency. And we also reduced the size of our Board of Directors. Four Board members resigned and we replace them with one. ( neu an bord:  d. gr0ss  / leider ist die nels0n-nulpe noch da).

4. trotz kostenreduktion bei verkauf und marketing, ist das auftragsbuch gefüllt

Despite the significant reduction in sales and marketing expenses, we continue to win new business at a record pace. Our bookings in new projects in 2017 exceeded $90 million. And we're off to a great start in 2018 in regard to winning more new business....

5. man stellt sich geopgraphisch breiter auf:

zb. siehe 700kw projekt in massachusetts. weiter projekte dieser grösse sollen folgen in texas, new mexico oder florida.

.... es es durchaus besserung in sicht. was wirklich dann dabei rauskommt wird man noch sehen.


- umsatzwachstum in 2018 soll zwischen 10-20% liegen - dafür soll unterm strich ein gewinn stehen. die marge soll sich von q zu q verbessern. wird interessant zu beobachten sein (vermutlich wird q1 noch mies, aber ab q2 sollten erste erfolge erkennbar sein, oder auch nicht hehe).... egal wie, unterhaltsam wird's allemal!  

Ich würde auf Wachstum durch Fusionen setzen. Organisches Wachstum ist kaum möglich. Immerhin ist Sunworks in Kalifornien die Nr. 12.

Wieso also nicht mit Rec Solar oder Blue Oak Energy fusionieren??  

Sunworks Strengthens Balance Sheet and Announces Changes to Board of Directors

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/04/27/...f-Directors.html

1. Company secures two-year $3.75 million term loan:

Securing a term loan provides necessary capital to support our profitable growth without an equity issuance that would be dilutive to our shareholders.

2. Joshua Schechter appointed as Independent Director:

Sunworks also announced that Joshua Schechter has been appointed as an independent member of the board of directors.

3. Jim Nelson and Frank Hunt retire from Board of Directors:

James Nelson, Executive Chairman and Frank Hunt, who has served as a director and chair of the audit committee since December 2014, retired from the Board of Directors. ( Jesus Maria endlich .... Nu_lpe Jim Nelson steht nicht mehr auf der Gehaltsliste von Sunw !!! )  

q1, wie erwartet, erneut nicht der Hit:

Revenue: 13,447Mio
Gross Profit:: 2,441Mio
Loss: 1,7428Mio. (-0,07)

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1172631/...07048/form10-q.htm
--------------------------------------------------
Sunworks Appoints Stanley Speer, Financial Expert, to Board of Directors

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/05/14/...f-Directors.html  

Nelson- Abgang belastet Q2:

"When Jim retired last month that accelerated vesting and we'll have about a $640,000 equity hit in Q2. And so when we've given guidance for Q2 and for full year, obviously, we didn't anticipate that until last month."

Deshalb Korrektur der Prognose für 2018:

"Management expects the company to generate positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense (Adjusted EBITDA) for the full year of 2018."

Umsatz: 72Mio  /  EBIT-Marge: ca.20%

Weiterhin:

"We currently have more than $60 million of backlog scheduled for installation in 2018."

"We want profitable revenue growth not growth at the expense of profit and cash flow."

"In order to secure the loan, two of us on the leadership team agreed to participate with the lending group from CrowdOut Capital. CrowdOut contributed $3 million; I contributed $500,000; and Kirk Short, our President of Commercial Operations contributed $250,000.
It provides us with greater security to avoid any future dilutive equity offering for at least as long as the warrants are outstanding which is February of 2020."

Könnte noch ein paar Wochen seitwärts gehen und dann?
Zurück Richtung PennyStock oder Dank News zur Solar3D-Zelle, Übernahme oder Großaufträge zurück Richtung 4 Euro? Wer weiß  :-)

Hier braucht man auf jeden Fall viiiiiel Geduld! Allen noch investierten viel Erfolg!  

Sunw bleibt weiterhin unterirdisch:

Revenue: $20Mio.
Gross margin: 14,5%
Loss: $1,8Mio.

Restrukturierung im Schneckentempo:

Chuck Cargile, Sunworks Chief Executive Officer said, ?Our effort to transform Sunworks continues, although the results reported today indicate that this process is taking longer than anticipated."

http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/08/08/...2018-Results.html

PS. : Ergebnisprognose für 2018 wurde erneut nach unten angepasst!  

denke eher Pennystock.
Welche News zur 3D Solarzelle, die vor Jahren gehyped wurde und nichts außer
Minus gemacht hat, sollen den Laden rumreißen?
Bin hier mit nem blauen Auge davongekommen. Alles schön reden bringt nichts m.M.n.
Scheinbar macht sich keiner was aus dieser
3D Zelle, sonst wäre doch schon früher jmd. auf den Zug gesprungen.
Allen noch investierten viel viel Glück.  

Gestern runtergestuft auf neutral.

https://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=14509529

Die letzten werfen wohl das Handtuch.
Heißt ja nicht, dass man nicht ganz unten wieder einsteigen kann.

 

....  ein etwas besseres Q, aber immer noch auf niedrigem Niveau.... Marge wieder etwas besser und Verlust kleiner.... der Umsatz setzt sich immernoch aus Projekten zusammen, welche unterm Strich nicht rentabel waren...allerdings soll sich dies in Zunkunft weiterhin etwas verbessern.... Marge für neue Projekte liegt bei 22/23%.... unrentable Projekte wohl noch bis in die 1. Jahreshälfte 2019....

Revenue: $18,281
Gross Profit: $3,365  (18,3%)
Loss: $0,376 (0,01)


https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1172631/...15295/form10-q.htm

--------------------------------------------------

- Revenue Prognose Q4: $18-20
- Marge deutlich über Vgl.-Q, allerdings auch nicht schwer.... Marge lag damals bei 5,4%  

gibt es News?  

Sunw hat in der Vergangenheit sein zwielichtiges Management um Jim Nelson ausgewechselt und versucht sich seither an einer Trendwende. Der hinterlassene Scherbenhaufen war allerdings so gross, dass bisher kaum Besserung in Sicht war und man annehmen musste, dass hier sogar die Lichter ausgehen könnten. Eine Trendwende könnte gelingen, wenn alle alten unrentablen Projekte abgearbeitet und durch neue rentable Projekte ersetzt wurden. Dieser Prozess soll sich noch bis zur 1. Jahreshälfte hinziehen. Neue Aufträge (siehe unten) lassen hoffen. Allerdings tickt hier die Uhr. Ein NASDAQ-Delisting bzw. Reverse Split steht an, sollte der Kurs nicht bald wieder über ein Dollar steigen. Entscheidend sind deshalb die nächsten Q-Berichte!

Sunworks to Construct 1.5 Megawatt (mW) Solar and Storage Project for Kingston Technology

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/02/04/...-Technology.html

Na dann, abwarten...  

SUNW versucht sich weiterhin an einer Trendwende. Positive Anzeichen sind sichtbar. Leider gibt es weiterhin unerwartete Abschreibungen, so dass unterm Strich erneut ein Verlust stehen bleibt. Für Q1/19 ist ein Umsatz von $ 13mio. und erneut ein Verlust vorausgesagt. Q2 + Q3 sollen dann stärker ausfallen. Eine Marge von ca. 20% wird erwartet. Noch in diesem Monat fällt die Entscheidung, ob SUNW im NASDAQ verbleibt. Man befindet sich bereits in Gesprächen und erwartet eine Verlängerung der Entscheidung um weitere 6 Monate. Im September muss dann der Kurs wieder über $1 liegen, ansonsten bereitet man sich auf ein Reverse-Split vor. Dh.: Trotz einer erkennbaren Trendwende gibt es weiterhin einige Baustellen zu bearbeiten.....

Wer Geduld- und  Langzeitorientiert war
konnte heute hohe Gewinne einfahren.  

Das Q1 war mal wieder nix, ( trotz Ansage) enttäuschende Q-Zahlen von SUNW. Natürlich wie gewohnt: " unexpected rework on projects leading to cost overruns". Das soll und muss jetzt in den nächsten 2 Quartalen besser werden, denn sonst wirds eng. Cash balance at March 31, 2019 was $2.0 million.
Kleiner Lichtblick, der Kurs war aufgrund des letzten Pumps an 10 aufeinanderfolgenden Tage über $1 - damit sollte ein Delisting vorerst vom Tisch sein.

SUNW bleibt auf NASDAQ-Watchlist

"One other issue that I wanted to touch on before we hang up, we were hit with a little bit of disappointing news from NASDAQ, we learned yesterday afternoon that we?re not removed from the watch list even though our stock has traded above a $1 for 13 consecutive days. They indicated that while the staff determination notice calls out a 10-day period to regain compliance that there's language that says they had the discretionary authority to review it for 20 days."  (Chuck Cargile)

Anmerkung:
Sunworks joins Russell Microcap® Index

 

.... da dieses Mal unterm Strich kein Geld verbrannt wurde. Allerdings bleibt auch kein Gewinn hängen, trotzdem verbesserte sich der Cash Bestand um $1.5Mio auf $3.5Mio, da Sunworks aktuell verwässert....

Revenue:          $18,7Mio.
Gross Profit:    $3,6 (19,5%)
Loss:                   $0,1Mio. ($0,00/Share)


Ausblick:

Management expects the company to again generate positive operating income for the third quarter of 2019.
