We’re proud to extend the legacy of serving our customers to our shareholder base.”

iSun forecasts 2022 revenues of $165 million across its Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Utility segments, with an aggregate gross margin between 18% and 21%. iSun anticipates achieving these targets through a combination of organic growth, geographic expansion, continued execution of its project backlog and consumer demand.

• Current demand of $22.1 million. SunCommon maintains current customer demand (projects expected to be completed within the next 4-6 months) of $22.1 million.
• SunCommon’s low cost of customer acquisition (CAC). SunCommon’s reported CAC of $0.36 / Wdc are less than half than the industry average of $0.75 / Wdc1.
• Organic growth in SunCommon’s core Vermont and Hudson Valley NY markets.
• Expansion growth across the East Coast. SunCommon anticipates expanding into complementary markets across the East Coast.

Commercial.

iSun’s Commercial Division forecasts $15 million in revenue, with gross margins between 16% and 20%. Contributing factors to this guidance include:

• Current demand of $9.6 million. SunCommon maintains current customer demand (projects expected to be realized within the next 4-6 months) of $9.6 million.
• Accelerated consumer demand for EVs. iSun anticipates accelerating consumer demand for EVs to increase adoption of both solar and EV charging solutions for destination consumer businesses.

Utility.

iSun’s Utility Division forecasts $50 million in revenue with gross margins between 15% and 18%. Contributing factors to this guidance include:

• Accelerating demand for solar resulting from EV adoption. Increasing solar energy demand across all sectors is driving utility scale development and demand for iSun’s EPC services.
• Realization of projects provided through iSun’s Development and Professional Services pipeline. iSun maintains EPC rights for 448MW of projects in Alabama, the first of which is expected to commence in Q3 2022.
• iSun continues to explore strategically relevant, immediately accretive M&A opportunities. This guidance does not account for any such opportunities or transactions. iSun will provide updated guidance in the event of a transaction accordingly.

“We went public in 2019 to realize our vision of creating a platform capable of accelerating adoption for solar across all segments of the marketplace – residential, commercial, industrial, and utility,” continued Peck. “We’ve created a platform that does just that. In addition, our platform will also help accelerate the adoption of EVs. Not every EV owner will be able to install a charger at their home or have access to chargers at the places they work, or the businesses they frequent. By improving access to EV charging at scale across all segments, iSun is helping ensure that members of all communities will have access to EV adoption.”

Management Commentary

“The recent trend towards the electrification of everything – particularly automobiles – suggests that we are about to experience a massive increase in electricity demand,” said Jeffrey Peck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iSun. “By 2035, 100% of all new vehicles offered in North America by Ford, General Motors, and Mercedes will be electric or hybrid. Currently, the average EV requires 30 kilowatt-hours to travel 100 miles. This is the same amount of electricity an average American home uses each day. Imagine the implications for two-car household families: Overnight, their household electricity demand could double. Because such increases are coming as we retreat from coal and other fossil fuels, we’ve no choice but to rely on renewable energy sources to meet increased demand.

“iSun – with its combination of capabilities and experience – is uniquely capable of accelerating the transition from dirty to clean energy required to meet our nation’s increasing energy demands,” stated Peck. “With our recent acquisition of SunCommon, we’ve built a platform capable of serving all customer segments of the marketplace and advancing our mission to accelerate the adoption of solar.”

Third Quarter Results
iSun reported third quarter 2021 revenue of $6.7 million representing a $1.7 million or 34% increase over the same period in the prior year. Year to date 2021 revenue was $18.3 million, representing a 56% increase over the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth was driven by the continued execution of our Commercial and Industrial project backlog, the addition of a new Professional Services revenue stream and continued deployment of our EV Infrastructure.

Year to date gross profit was $0.8 million compared to $0.6 million during the same period in the prior year. iSun experienced industry wide material and component price increases as well as labor shortages that negatively impacted project margins through the first half of the year. During the third quarter, iSun’s margins returned to normal pre-COVID levels as they began executing contracts entered during 2021. Margins were further strengthened by:

• revenues generated by owned solar assets during the peak production months of the third quarter, and:

We’re seeing more interest in Mobility Platforms tailored for class-8 vehicle use, which is promising for the future.”

iSun Inc. Announces Multiple Project Awards in Maine

On October 20, 2021, iSun, Inc.

We’ve over 50 years of experience managing projects of similar scale and complexity, in similar climates. Such experience affords iSun a tremendous advantage when trying to reconcile increased demand with limited labor and materials, as evidenced by our ability to execute on projects like these.”

ISUN stock technical analysis

ISUN is currently trading near the lower end of its 52-week range, which is not a good sign. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new 52 week highs at the moment. The short-term trend is negative, as is the long-term trend. There should be more interesting stocks out there. ISUN has a bad technical rating, but it does show a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is a support zone below the current price at 7.92, a stop order could be placed below this zone.
