AUSTIN, Texas and NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE: TE) (“T1,” “T1 Energy,” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter 2025 and will hold a conference call today at 8 am EST.

Headlines

• Meaningful ramp in G1_Dallas production, sales, and EBITDA expected in Q4 2025. T1 expects that module sales in the fourth quarter will exceed the total sales during the first three quarters of 2025. In Q4 2025, G1_Dallas production is expected to achieve a 4.5 GW annualized run rate, more than twice the rate averaged in the first three quarters of 2025. This increased activity underpins unchanged 2025 EBITDA guidance of $25 - $50 million.
  
  
• T1 received $50 million from Encompass Capital Advisors LLC (“Encompass”). The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement with Encompass, and in partial consideration for the cancellation of all the outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock, which were previously issued for $50 million, Encompass purchased (i) 21.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) 1.6 million shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock through a registered direct offering. Additionally, as part of this offering, T1 received $50 million from Encompass in exchange for the issuance of the Company’s Series B-1 preferred stock. This agreement amended and restated the previous Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Encompass.
  
  
• G2_Austin progressing towards expected start of construction in Q4 2025. T1’s development team and contractors have been advancing detailed design and engineering of its planned state-of-the-art U.S. solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas. An extended 30% design package was completed in September which encompasses early procurement packages for long lead time equipment and materials, early construction packages for mobilization, civil works, and structural steel as well as design specifications for major scope areas including the cleanroom, electrical and mechanical equipment, and process equipment for utility distribution. T1 expects to achieve the 60% engineering completion milestone for the two-phase development plan in November ahead of the expected start of construction in Q4 2025. This timeline is driven by customer demand for domestic cells in order to maximize PTC realizations.
  
  

“The T1 team continued to advance our mission to build an integrated U.S. polysilicon solar supply chain in the third quarter,” commented Dan Barcelo, T1’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “With the expected start of construction at G2_Austin and our continued progress on commercial discussions, capital formation, and policy compliance initiatives, we are positioning T1 as a domestic content leader with an expanding network of U.S. partners committed to powering America.”

Highlights of Third Quarter 2025 and Subsequent Events  

• Nextpower and T1 sign multi-year U.S. frame supply agreement. In October, Nextpower (NASDAQ: NXT) and T1 announced a strategic framework agreement to use Nextpower’s patented steel module frame technology for G1_Dallas modules. The agreement advances T1’s mission to establish an integrated U.S. solar supply chain and is expected to accelerate the industry’s transition away from imported aluminum frames towards made-in-the-USA frames using locally manufactured specialty steel.
  
  
• T1 makes strategic investment in Talon. In October, T1 announced that the Company had entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) to acquire a minority equity stake in Talon PV LLC, which is developing a 4.8 GW solar cell fab in Baytown, Texas. Independent of the Talon investment, T1 is advancing its own solar cell fab, the 5 GW G2_Austin project in Rockdale, Texas. The first phase is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2026. Both Texas-based companies plan to utilize advanced manufacturing to produce the most globally advanced commercially available TOPCon solar cells in the U.S.
  
  
• T1 advances G2_Austin development with capital formation progress. Proceeds from T1’s $72 million registered direct equity offering coupled with a $50 million registered direct convertible preferred offering have positioned T1 to move forward with plans to start construction of its G2_Austin U.S. solar cell fab in Q4 2025. The offerings closed in October, providing T1 with a meaningful portion of the capital required to finance the first 2.1 GW phase of G2_Austin, with the remainder expected to be comprised of debt and anticipated customer offtake deposits.
  
  

Business Update and Guidance

• Commercial discussions for G2_Austin offtake contracts progressing. T1 is in advanced negotiations with multiple potential offtake customers for G1_Dallas modules made with G2_Austin cells for deliveries starting in 2027. The Company expects to sign at least one contract before year-end 2025, which is consistent with timelines of T1’s ongoing G2_Austin capital formation initiatives.
  
  
• Maintaining 2025 EBITDA guidance range of $25 - $50 million. In Q4 2025, T1 expects a significant increase in sales related to the highest expected production year-to-date at G1_Dallas, as well as sales of module inventory to retain Section 45X credits prior to year-end policy changes. T1 expects to finish 2025 with limited finished goods inventory in advance of new supply chain regulations.
  
  
• Summary of G2_Austin phased development plan and G2 Phase 1 EBITDA guidance. As mentioned in T1’s Q3 2025 preliminary earnings release on October 22^nd, the company has decided to develop its planned G2_Austin U.S. PV solar cell manufacturing facility in two phases. Each phase is a standalone development with limited shared infrastructure; T1 is positioned to flex capacity to develop up to three phases potentially totaling as many as 8 GW on T1’s existing leasehold. The rationale behind the phased development approach is to match planned capacity with long-term offtake contracts, advance capital formation initiatives, and start production in Q4 2026 to address robust customer demand. Following the initial completion of detailed project engineering, the first phase of G2_Austin is expected to total 2.1 GW of annual production capacity with an estimated capital expenditure of $400 - $425 million. The estimated annual run-rate EBITDA with G1_Dallas operating at 5 GW capacity and the first 2.1 GW phase of G2_Austin fully online is $375 - $450 million. T1 expects to start G2 Phase 1 construction in Q4 2025 with planned start of production in Q4 2026.
  
  
• Section 232 and U.S. policy summary. T1 supports the U.S. Commerce Department investigation under Section 232 into the use of foreign-sourced polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. T1 Energy’s contract to purchase hyper-pure, U.S.-origin polysilicon would likely be advantaged by any potential tariffs or import restrictions that result from this case. In addition, T1 continues to advance its near-term priority of ensuring eligibility for section 45X tax credits in 2026 and beyond. The Company continues to make progress and expects to be compliant by year-end.
  
  
• Offtake contract negotiation. T1 is involved in a potential dispute with one of its long-term supply offtake customers that reduced expected sales volumes in Q3 2025. The Company expects that the deferred third quarter sales volumes under this contract will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. While T1 continues to negotiate with the counterparty to achieve a resolution, the Company believes it has a strong position under the contract and will evaluate all options. As a result of the potential dispute, T1 is recording a non-cash impairment to intangible assets of $53.2 million.
  
  
• T1 is advancing European portfolio optimization initiatives. The Company continues to execute workstreams and discussions to generate value for shareholders from assets in the Company’s discontinued operations and will provide updates in accordance with progress.
  
  

Q3 2025 Results Overview

• T1 Energy reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2025 of $140.8 million, or $0.87 per share compared to a net loss of $27.5 million, or $0.20 per share for the third quarter of 2024. Net loss from continuing operations was $127.6 million, or $0.85 per share for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $14.2 million, or $0.10 per share for the third quarter of 2024. Net loss from discontinued operations was $3.0 million, or $0.02 per share for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $13.4 million, or $0.10 per share for the third quarter of 2024.
  
  
• As of September 30, 2025, T1 had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $86.7 million, of which $34.1 million was unrestricted cash. In addition, T1 has accrued $93.1 million of Section 45X credits as of September 30, 2025, that the Company expects to monetize.
