First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) announced two Tax Credit Transfer Agreements (TCTAs) with Fiserv, Inc. for the sale of $500 million and up to $200 million of 2023 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Advanced Manufacturing Production tax credits at a price of $0.96 per $1 of tax credits. The agreements are believed to be the first significant Section 45X credit transfer in the solar industry, and were signed eight days following the issuance of notice of proposed rulemaking by the US Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service to implement the Section 45X credits. The liquidity generated from the transaction is expected to accelerate the enhancement of First Solar's cash position in the US, further strengthening its balance sheet and allowing continued investment in growth, such as research and development. The company expects a pre- and post-tax impact of up to $28 million for the 2023 financial year, resulting in a reduction of diluted earnings of up to $0.26 per share for the year. The tax credits result from the sale of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules produced in 2023 by First Solar's operational manufacturing footprint in the United States, including its third Ohio factory, and the company expects to invest over $2 billion in new manufacturing facilities in Alabama and Louisiana, while also expanding its existing Ohio footprint, and expects to have 14 gigawatts of fully vertically integrated US solar manufacturing capacity by 2026. Additionally, First Solar is investing up to $370 million in a dedicated R&D innovation center in Perrysburg, Ohio, expected to be completed in 2024.
