Sunnova Energy reports Q4 EPS ($1.53), consensus (18c)

Reports Q4 revenue $194.2M, consensus $223.38M. In 2023, Sunnova demonstrated good performance across its operations. For the year, we expanded our customer base to 419,200 and hit our 2023 targets for Adjusted EBITDA, interest income, and principal proceeds. Additionally, we increased our single customer economics and unveiled our Global Command Center to enhance customer service, solidifying our position as a leading adaptive energy services company,” said William J. (John) Berger, Sunnova’s founder and CEO. “Looking ahead to the remainder of 2024, our focus will be on cash generation driven by cost reductions, asset sales, and expanding margins. By year end, we anticipate the combination of our revised cost structure and increased operating leverage will result in a decrease of over 20% in total Adjusted Operating Expense per customer. Through a combination of securitizations and sales, in 2024 we expect to generate enough cash to provide the working capital needed to hit our growth target, net of operating costs, and exit the year with an annual cash generation run rate between $200 million and $500 million.”
