Spruce Power Streamlines Operations, Reducing Costs and Accelerating Path to Sustainable Growth

- Actions Expected to Generate $20 Million in Annualized Savings, Enabling Long-Term Profitability and Positive Cash Flow

- Strategic Actions Position Spruce for Scalable, High-Margin Growth and Greater Shareholder Value

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Spruce Power Holding Corporation (NYSE: SPRU) (“Spruce” or the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of distributed solar energy assets across the United States, today announced transformative steps expected to meaningfully improve operational efficiency, drive long-term profitability and optimize the Company’s financial position. These initiatives will reduce SG&A expense generating approximately $20 million in annual savings. The Company believes the savings will accelerate Spruce’s path to positive free cash flow and support key growth initiatives, enabling faster scaling of the Company’s solar energy platform.

The actions include workforce adjustments, the closure of the Denver office and the consolidation of certain roles across the organization. These changes reflect Spruce’s ongoing commitment to managing expenses and optimizing resources, while maintaining operational excellence across all levels of the business.

“Our board and senior leadership team are taking proactive steps to preserve our strong cash position of more than $90 million, and to build a leaner, more efficient foundation for long-term growth. Through streamlined operations, increased automation and sharper focus on core initiatives, Spruce is accelerating its path to consistent positive free cash flow while scaling its platform. These actions reinforce Spruce’s commitment to deliver sustainable value to shareholders,” said Chris Hayes, Chief Executive Officer of Spruce. “I am deeply grateful to our departing employees for their service, and to those remaining who will help drive this next chapter.”

In addition to accelerating the path to positive free cash flow, Spruce’s strategic realignment will direct additional resources to its core initiatives, including expanding its distributed solar energy platform, accelerating sales of Spruce PRO and capturing further operational efficiencies. The Company’s investments in automation and IT systems are designed to optimize workflows, reduce overhead and improve scalability across the entire business.

Hayes concluded, “We are reimagining how Spruce operates and are confident that these strategic actions will give the Company a more resilient financial structure, thus increasing profitability and creating shareholder value.”

One-time severance and reorganization costs will result in a charge of approximately $1.0 million in the third quarter.
