"We are extremely proud to report positive net income from continuing operations during the third quarter," said Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SPI Energy. "The sale of our majority stake in Phoenix Motor removes its net loss burden from out bottom line moving forward, strengthening our ability to drive increasing profits in the quarters ahead as we continue to grow our business. Our net revenues grew by 31% year-over-year to $55.9 million in the third quarter, while our gross profit improved to $7.5 million, up from a gross loss in the year-ago period and up 43% from the second quarter of 2023. Our continually improving financial metrics reflect our operations' robustness and our strategies' effectiveness."

Peng continued, "As we move forward, our commitment to driving greater success and growth in the upcoming quarters remains unwavering. We are diligently executing our strategy with focus and remain on track to achieve our previously issued top-line guidance for the year. These are truly exciting times for SPI Energy, and I would like to express my gratitude to all our customers, partners, and employees for their unwavering support as we strive to deliver on our vision."

Third Quarter 2023 Business Highlights:

• Announced plans to begin manufacturing state-of-the-art N-type Heterojunction Technology (HJT) solar cells in the United States, positioning the Company's wholly owned Solar4America subsidiary to become one of the leading American providers of advanced photovoltaic (PV) solutions.
• Sold majority stake in Phoenix Motor, reducing SPI's ownership stake to 25.83%, thereby eliminating the requirement to consolidate Phoenix Motor's financial results into SPI's financial statements. By divesting the majority of its stake in Phoenix Motor, SPI eliminates the impact of Phoenix Motor's net losses on its own profitability, paving the way for improved financial performance.
• Showcased Made-in-USA solar modules, including 550W (M10) modules, at multiple trade shows, including:
  • Energy Expo 2023
  • RE+ Mid-Atlantic
  • RE+ 2023
• In preparation for its upcoming planned spinoff, the Company's Solarjuice subsidiary presented to investors at ROTH MKM's 10^th annual Solar & Storage Symposium.
