Consists of certain machinery and equipment (“stored assets”) that were originally intended for use in previously planned manufacturing capacity expansions. As further described in
Note 4. “Restructuring and Asset Impairments”
to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we recently introduced our next generation Series 6 module technology, which is expected to enable the production of modules with a larger form factor, better product attributes, and a lower cost structure. The majority of the remaining stored assets are expected to be repurposed for Series 6 module manufacturing as we transition our production lines to such module technology through 2018. As the remaining stored assets are neither in the condition nor location to produce modules as intended, we will not begin depreciation until such assets are placed in service. We evaluate our property, plant and equipment, including our stored assets, for impairment under a held and used impairment model whenever events or changes in circumstances arise, including consideration of technological obsolescence, that may indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

In
April 2009
, we entered into a credit facility agreement with a solar power project entity of one of our customers for an available amount of
€17.5 million
to provide financing for a PV solar power system. The credit facility bears interest at
8.0%
per annum, payable quarterly, with the full amount due in December 2026. As of
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the balance outstanding on the credit facility was
€7.0 million
(
$8.0 million
and
$7.4 million
, respectively).

Cash Equivalents.
At
June 30, 2017
, our cash equivalents consisted of money market funds. We value our money market cash equivalents using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for securities with identical characteristics, and accordingly, we classify the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1.
|
•
|
Marketable Securities and Restricted Investments.
At
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, our marketable securities consisted of foreign debt, foreign government obligations, and time deposits, and our restricted investments consisted of foreign and U.S. government obligations. At
June 30, 2017
, our marketable securities also consisted of U.S. debt. We value our marketable securities and restricted investments using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for securities with identical characteristics or quoted prices for securities with similar characteristics and other observable inputs (such as interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals). Accordingly, we classify the valuation techniques that use these inputs as either Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the inputs used. We also consider the effect of our counterparties’ credit standing in these fair value measurements.
|
•
|
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
. At
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, our derivative assets and liabilities consisted of foreign exchange forward contracts involving major currencies. At
June 30, 2017
, our derivative assets and liabilities also consisted of various interest rate swap contracts involving major interest rates. Since our derivative assets and liabilities are not traded on an exchange, we value them using standard industry valuation models. As applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. These inputs are observable in active markets over the contract term of the derivative instruments we hold, and accordingly, we classify the valuation techniques as Level 2. In evaluating credit risk, we consider the effect of our counterparties’ and our own credit standing in the fair value measurements of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively.

The difference between Net income and Net income attributable to equity method investees is due to OpCo’s tax equity financing facilities with third-party investors that hold noncontrolling ownership interests in certain of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, earnings or losses are allocated to such tax equity investors using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (or “HLBV”) method. During the six months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, OpCo allocated certain losses to such third-party investors under the HLBV method, which represented the difference between Net income and Net income attributable to equity method investees.

Net sales for the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017
decreased
by
39%
to
$0.6 billion
compared to
$1.0 billion
for the same period in
2016
. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the completion of substantially all construction activities on the Desert Stateline, Kingbird, Butler, Taylor, Astoria, and East Pecos projects in 2016. This decrease in revenue was partially offset by the sale of the Switch Station projects and an increase in the volume of modules sold to third parties.
|
•
|
Gross profit for the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017
decreased
0.1 percentage points
to
17.8%
from
17.9%
for the same period in
2016
. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by a mix of lower gross profit projects sold and under construction during the period, partially offset a reduction in our product warranty liability.
|
•
|
As of
June 30, 2017
, we had
18
installed production lines at our manufacturing facilities in Perrysburg, Ohio and Kulim, Malaysia. We produced
0.5 GW
of solar modules during the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017
, which represented a
38%
decrease
from the same period in
2016
. The
decrease
in production was primarily driven by our previously announced plans to ramp down production of our Series 4 modules and transition to Series 6 module manufacturing through 2019. Such transition is expected to include the commencement of operations at our previously announced manufacturing plant in Vietnam. We expect to produce approximately
2.3 GW
of solar modules during
2017
.
|
•
|
During the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017
, we ran our remaining manufacturing facilities at
99%
capacity utilization, which represented a
1 percentage point
decrease
from the same period in
2016
.
|
•
|
The average conversion efficiency of our modules was
16.9%
for the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017
, which was an improvement of
0.7 percentage points
from the
three
months ended
June 30, 2016
.

The balance of our solar module inventories and BoS parts was
$329.5 million
as of
June 30, 2017
. As we continue with the construction of our advanced-stage project pipeline, we must produce solar modules and procure BoS parts in the required volumes to support our planned construction schedules. As part of this construction cycle, we typically must manufacture modules or acquire the necessary BoS parts for construction activities in advance of receiving payment for such materials, which may temporarily reduce our liquidity. Once solar modules and BoS parts are installed in a project, such installed amounts are classified as either project assets, PV solar power systems, or cost of sales depending upon whether the project is subject to a definitive sales contract and whether other revenue recognition criteria have been met. We also produce significant volumes of modules for sale directly to integrators and operators of PV solar power systems. Such sales may require us to carry inventories at levels sufficient to satisfy the demand of our customers and the needs of their utility-scale projects, which may also temporarily reduce our liquidity.
|
•
|
We may commit working capital during the remainder of
2017
and beyond to acquire solar power projects in various stages of development, including advanced-stage projects with PPAs, and to continue developing those projects as necessary. Depending upon the size and stage of development, costs to acquire such solar power projects could be significant. When evaluating project acquisition opportunities, we consider both the strategic and financial benefits of any such acquisitions.
|
•
|
Joint ventures or other strategic arrangements with partners are a part of our strategy. We have initiatives in several markets to expedite our penetration of those markets and establish relationships with potential customers. Some of these arrangements involve and are expected to involve significant investments or other allocations of capital that could reduce our liquidity or require us to pursue additional sources of financing, assuming such sources are available to us. Additionally, we have elected and may in the future elect or be required to temporarily retain a noncontrolling ownership interest in certain underlying systems projects we develop, supply modules to, or construct. Any such retained ownership interest is expected to impact our liquidity to the extent we do not obtain new sources of capital to fund such investments.
|
•
|
We expect to make significant capital investments through
2019
as we transition our production to Series 6 module technology and purchase the related manufacturing equipment and infrastructure. Such investments include the commencement of operations at our previously announced manufacturing plant in Vietnam. We expect the aggregate capital investment for Series 6 related programs to be approximately
$1.1 billion
, which is expected to provide an annual Series 6 manufacturing capacity of approximately
4 GW
. During the remainder of
2017
, we expect to spend
$200 million
to
$300 million
for capital expenditures, the majority of which is associated with the Series 6 transition. We believe these capital expenditures will increase our aggregate manufacturing capacity, increase our solar module conversion efficiencies, reduce our manufacturing costs, and reduce the overall cost of systems using our modules.

|
A reduction or removal of clean energy programs and initiatives and the incentives they provide may diminish the market for future solar energy offtake agreements and reduce the ability for solar developers to compete for future solar energy offtake agreements, which may reduce incentives for project developers to develop solar projects and purchase PV solar modules;
|
•
|
Any limitations on the value or availability to potential investors of tax incentives that benefit solar energy projects such as the investment tax credit (“ITC”) and accelerated depreciation deductions could result in such investors generating reduced revenues and economic returns and facing a reduction in the availability of affordable financing, thereby reducing demand for PV solar modules. The ITC is a U.S. federal incentive that provides an income tax credit to the owner of the project after the project commences construction of up to 30% of eligible basis. A solar energy project must commence construction prior to January 1, 2020 and be placed in service prior to January 1, 2024 to qualify for the 30% ITC. A solar project that commences construction during 2020 and is placed in service prior to January 1, 2024 may qualify for an ITC equal to 26% of eligible basis. Under the Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System, owners of equipment used in a solar project generally claim all of their depreciation deductions with respect to such equipment over five years, even though the useful life of such equipment is generally greater than five years.
|
•
|
A reduction in the corporate tax rate could diminish the capacity of potential investors to benefit from incentives such as the ITC and reduce the value of accelerated depreciation deductions, thereby reducing the relative attractiveness of solar projects as an investment.
|
•
|
Any effort to overturn federal and state laws, regulations, or policies that are supportive of solar energy generation or that remove costs or other limitations on other types of electricity generation that compete with solar energy projects could negatively impact our ability to compete with traditional forms of electricity generation and materially and adversely affect our business.
