Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 29, 2025
|% Change Since: -5.44%
|Next Earnings Date:Jul 24, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Negative
The earnings call revealed several positive developments, such as a strong backlog and successful technology deployment. However, these were overshadowed by significant challenges, including earnings falling below guidance, new tariff impacts, and substantial policy uncertainty. The sentiment reflects concern over these adverse factors and their potential impacts on future operations.Company Guidance
During the First Solar Q1 2025 earnings call, the company provided detailed guidance reflecting the impacts of new tariff regimes and other factors on their operations. Key metrics highlighted include a contracted backlog of 66.3 gigawatts, with domestic capacity expansion expected to reach over 14 gigawatts by 2026. The Q1 earnings per diluted share was $1.95, which fell below the guidance range due to a mix of U.S. and international products sold. For fiscal year 2025, First Solar revised its earnings per diluted share guidance to a range of $12.50 to $17.50, accounting for the impacts of a 10% universal tariff and potential reciprocal tariffs of up to 46% affecting production in Malaysia and Vietnam. The company anticipates total module sales volumes of 15.5 to 19.3 gigawatts, with U.S. manufacturing volumes remaining unchanged. Additionally, First Solar's net cash balance at year-end 2025 is projected to be between $0.4 billion and $0.9 billion, reflecting the impact of tariffs, production adjustments, and capital expenditures.Strong Contracted Backlog
