Insights

Financial Analyst

TOYO reported audited FY2024 results showing operational expense growth outpaced by strong net income, though performance was boosted by non-operational factors.

The updated audited financial results for TOYO reveal a company experiencing significant growth but with concerning trends in operating expenses. The company reported $40.5 million in net income for 2024, a 309% increase from $9.9 million in 2023. However, this impressive headline number requires careful interpretation.

Looking deeper, the majority of this profit ($35.1 million) came from a change in fair value of contingent consideration payable related to earnout shares - essentially an accounting adjustment rather than operational performance. Excluding this non-operational item, TOYO's actual net profit was only $5.4 million, which represents just 13% of the reported net income.

Operating expenses surged by 180.4% to $13.0 million, with general and administrative expenses rising to $11.4 million from $4.6 million. This significant increase was driven by higher payroll expenses ($3.3 million increase), audit and consulting costs ($1.9 million increase), and other operational costs. Selling and marketing expenses also jumped substantially to $1.6 million from just $0.02 million, primarily due to increased freight and handling costs.

The company's cash position has weakened slightly, with total cash and restricted cash decreasing to $17.1 million from $19.0 million at the end of 2023, representing a 10% decline in available liquidity.

Based on the audited results, 11,287,703 earnout shares will be surrendered and canceled, reflecting that actual performance fell short of targets. This will reduce the total outstanding shares to 35,308,040, which could impact per-share metrics going forward.

The earnings per share of $1.09 shows significant improvement from $0.24 in 2023, but investors should note this figure includes the non-operational accounting adjustments mentioned earlier. The true operational EPS would be substantially lower if based solely on the $5.4 million in profit excluding the contingent consideration adjustment.

TOKYO, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TOYO Co., Ltd (Nasdaq: TOYO) ("TOYO" or the "Company"), a solar solution company, today announced certain updates to its press release issued on April 28, 2025, announcing the Company's second half and fiscal year ended December 2024 financial results. The Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 12, 2025.

The operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, net income, and earnings per share for the fiscal year ended 2024 disclosed in the prior press release are updated and reflected in the audited financial statements as set forth below.

Operating expenses were $13.0 million for 2024 compared to $4.7 million in the prior year, representing an increase of 180.4% year-over-year.

• Selling and marketing expenses were $1.6 million for the fiscal year 2024 compared to $0.02 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.2 million in freight and handling expenses and an increase of approximately $0.2 million in sales commissions.
• General and administrative expenses were $11.4 million for the fiscal year 2024, an increase from $4.6 million in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of payroll and welfare expenses of approximately $3.3 million, an increase of audit and consulting expenses of approximately $1.9 million, an increase of approximately $0.6 million in rental expenses, an increase of approximately $0.9 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and expense of offering cost allocated to contingent consideration payable.

Net income was $40.5 million for 2024, compared to a net income of $9.9 million in the prior year. Net income in 2024 included a $35.1 million change in fair value of contingent consideration payable for 13 million earnout shares.

Earnings per share under US GAAP, basic and diluted, were $1.09 for 2024 compared to earnings per share, basic and diluted, of $0.24 in the prior year.

Earnout shares to be released to initial shareholders would be calculated based on the Company's audited net profit of $5.4 million, which excludes changes in fair value of such earnout shares as of December 31, 2024, divided by the benchmark amount of $41 million multiplied by 13 million earnout shares. 11,287,703 earnout shares are expected to be surrendered to and canceled by the Company, resulting in a total of 35,308,040 ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately after such surrender.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $17.1 million in cash and restricted cash in total, compared to $19.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

For more information, investors will be able to obtain copies of the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 at the SEC' website at www.sec.gov.
