"2015 was a transformational year for the solar industry as increasing demand, favorable policy developments and broad global support for renewables created strong industry growth fundamentals. SunPower benefited from these trends as we exceeded our forecasts and closed out the year with record fourth quarter and full year non-GAAP 2015 results. During the year, we executed on our technology roadmaps, added new products and launched our joint YieldCo vehicle 8point3 Energy Partners. We are well positioned to capitalize on the continued growing adoption of solar in North America as well as key international markets such as China and Latin America. We also expanded our global power plant footprint while completing the world’s largest solar power plant, located in California. In distributed generation, we made further investments in Smart Energy and launched a range of complete customer solutions for the commercial market that will significantly reduce cost while improving performance,” said Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO. “Upstream, we again delivered record output and yield while ramping our new Fab 4 cell manufacturing facility for volume production in 2016. We made strong progress on our cost reduction roadmaps and in the fourth quarter announced the launch of our new lower cost, high efficiency Performance Series product line which enhances our ability to rapidly expand SunPower’s global footprint with significantly lower capital cost.

“In the power plant segment for the fourth quarter, we successfully met our project commitments, added to our pipeline and further built out our U.S. HoldCo asset base, improving visibility for drop downs to 8point3 Energy Partners in 2016. Specifically, our 135-megawatt (MW) Quinto project achieved commercial operation during the quarter and is now generating energy for 8point3 Energy Partners. Our quarterly power plant segment results benefited from strong Engineering,

Procurement and Construction (EPC) execution as our 50-MW Hooper project for Xcel was completed a quarter ahead of schedule. We also commenced construction on our 100-MW project for NV Energy in Nevada and recently dedicated our second 15-MW project at Nellis Air Force base. Going forward, we see significant upside opportunity in the U.S. power plant market as the recent extension of the U.S. federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) provides a sustainable, long term market structure to support further growth. Internationally, we continue to expand our footprint into new markets and recently announced our first project in Mexico, a 36-MW project for Aeropuertos Del Sureste (ASUR), a leading airport operator in the country. This power purchase agreement (PPA) is one of the first significant solar PPAs in Mexico and extends our position as a leader in international solar development. Construction of this project will begin this year and is expected to be completed in 2017.

“We also executed well in our residential business. In North America, our performance was solid as our fourth quarter results exceeded plan, we gained market share and broadened our leasing footprint as megawatt installed growth exceeded 45 percent year over year. Additionally, based on our fourth quarter bookings, we expect continued strong residential demand in 2016. Finally, we also expanded our utility partnership strategy during the quarter as we announced an innovative agreement with TXU Energy to bring SunPower solar solutions to the Texas market.

In our commercial segment, we are well positioned for 2016, having added projects to our backlog and building our pipeline to over $1 billion. As we announced during the quarter, we launched our Helix platform, the world’s first fully-integrated solar solution for commercial customers. Designed for the rooftop, carport and commercial ground-mount markets, Helix delivers significantly lower costs and improved reliability while reducing installation times. We are currently shipping our first systems, and interest from both new and existing customers is significant. Finally, we were pleased to announce that we recently completed our first commercial project drop down to 8point3 Energy Partners. This 20-MW project for Kern County School District consists of 27 carports at various locations across the district and will be constructed in three phases with completion scheduled before the end of 2016,” Werner concluded.

“Solid execution across all segments, along with the ability to leverage our development capabilities, enabled us to post record results for the fourth quarter and 2015 fiscal year,” said Chuck Boynton, SunPower CFO. “Our balance sheet remains strong as we successfully executed a new convertible bond offering and recently renewed our revolver including increasing its size to $300 million. With an approximately $1 billion cash position and our undrawn revolver, we have the resources we need to continue our long term growth initiatives. Finally, we prudently managed our working capital during the quarter as we improved our performance in a number of key cash metrics while adding assets to our HoldCo base.”

Fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015 GAAP and non-GAAP results reflect a charge of $33 million, or approximately 20 cents on a non-GAAP basis, related to the contracted sale, at current market based rates, of above market priced polysilicon acquired through a long term supply agreement.

Additionally, fourth quarter fiscal 2015 non-GAAP results include net adjustments that, in the aggregate, increased non-GAAP net income by $398.0 million, including $394.1 million related to 8point3 Energy Partners, $13.1 million related to utility and power plant projects, $2.0 million related to sale of operating lease assets, $16.5 million related to stock-based compensation expense, $1.7 million related to the 8point3 Energy Partners initial public offering, and $3.3 million related to other adjustments, offset by $32.7 million related to tax effect.

Financial Outlook

Given strong global demand as well as a favorable policy environment, the company remains very confident that it can achieve its long term strategic and financial goals by leveraging its flexible business model to drive sustainable growth. With the recent extension of the ITC, the company anticipates increasing its investment in the United States while maintaining its global go-to-market focus.

The company’s fourth quarter financial results reflected a shift of approximately $65 million in EBITDA originally forecasted to be recognized in fiscal year 2016. This shift was primarily due to earlier than forecasted project completions in power plants, accelerated recognition of residential leases and earlier than anticipated benefits related to 8point3 Energy Partners. As a result of this approximately $65 million EBITDA shift, the company now expects 2016 EBITDA to be in the range of $450 million to $500 million compared to previous guidance of $515 million to $565 million. For 2017, the company believes that with the ITC extension, further investment in the U.S. market and a strong global project pipeline, it is well positioned to sustainably grow its EBITDA.

For fiscal year 2016, the company’s non-GAAP expectations are as follows: revenue of $3.2 billion to $3.4 billion, gross margin of 14 percent to 16 percent, capital expenditures of $210 million to $240 million and gigawatts deployed in the range of 1.7 GW to 2.0 GW. On a GAAP basis, the company expects 2016 revenue of $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion, gross margin of 17

percent to 19 percent and net income of $0 million to $50 million. Fiscal year 2016 GAAP guidance includes the impact of the company’s HoldCo strategy and deferrals due to real estate accounting.

The company’s first quarter fiscal 2016 non-GAAP guidance is as follows: revenue of $290 million to $340 million, gross margin of 12 percent to 13 percent, EBITDA of $0 to $25 million and megawatts deployed in the range of 315 MW to 340 MW. On a GAAP basis, the company expects revenue of $280 million to $330 million, gross margin of 11 percent to 12 percent and net loss of $115 million to $90 million. First quarter 2016 GAAP guidance includes the impact of the company’s HoldCo strategy and deferrals due to real estate accounting.

The company will host a conference call for investors this afternoon to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015 performance at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. The call will be webcast and can be accessed from SunPower’s website at http://investors.sunpower.com/events.cfm.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures that are adjusted for certain items from the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as described below. The specific non-GAAP measures listed below are: revenue; gross margin; net income; net income per diluted share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”); and free cash flow. Management believes that each of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, enabling them to better assess changes in each of these key elements of the company's results of operations across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of certain items as described below. Thus, each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with another method to assess the company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its ongoing, core operating performance, absent the effects of these items. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess the business, its financial performance, current and historical results, as well as for strategic decision-making and forecasting future results. Many of the analysts covering the company also use these non-GAAP measures in their analyses. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, the company believes these measures are important to investors in understanding the company's operating results as seen through the eyes of management. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or intended to be a replacement for GAAP financial data; the non-GAAP measures should be reviewed together with the GAAP measures and are not intended to serve as a substitute for results under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP revenue includes adjustments relating to 8point3, utility and power plant projects, and the sale of operating lease assets as described below. Non-GAAP gross margin includes adjustments relating to 8point3, utility and power plant projects, the sale of operating lease assets, the FPSC arbitration ruling, stock-based compensation, and other items as described below. In addition to those same adjustments, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share are adjusted for adjustments relating to IPO-related costs and the tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments as described below. In addition to the same adjustments as non-GAAP net income, EBITDA includes adjustments relating to cash interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, and depreciation. Free cash flow includes adjustments relating to investing cash flows and lease financings as described below.

Non-GAAP Adjustments

• 8point3. In June 2015, 8point3 Energy Partners LP ("8point3 Energy Partners"), a joint YieldCo vehicle formed by the company and First Solar, Inc. ("First Solar" and, together with the company, the "Sponsors") to own, operate and acquire solar energy generation assets, completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A shares representing limited partner interests in 8point3 Energy Partners. The IPO was consummated on June 24, 2015 whereupon the Class A shares are now listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the trading symbol “CAFD.” Immediately after the IPO, the company contributed a portfolio of 170 MW of its solar generation assets (the “SPWR Projects”) to 8point3 Operating Company, LLC ("OpCo"), 8point3 Energy Partners' primary operating subsidiary. In exchange for the SPWR Projects, the company received cash proceeds of $371 million as well as equity interests in several 8point3 Energy Partners affiliated entities: primarily common and subordinated units representing a 40.7% stake in OpCo and a 50.0% economic and management stake in 8point3 Holding Company, LLC (“Holdings”), the parent company of the general partner of 8point3 Energy Partners and the owner of incentive distribution rights in OpCo. Holdings, OpCo, 8point3 Energy Partners and their respective subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “8point3 Group” or “8point3.”

The company includes adjustments related to the sales of projects contributed to 8point3 based on the difference between the fair market value of the consideration received and the net carrying value of the projects contributed, of which, a portion is deferred in proportion to the company’s retained equity stake in 8point3. The deferred profit is subsequently recognized over time. This treatment is consistent with the accounting rules relating to the sale of such projects under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Under these rules, with certain exceptions such as for projects already in operation, the company’s revenue is equal to the fair market value of the consideration received, and cost of goods sold is equal to the net carrying value plus a partial deferral of profit proportionate with the retained equity stake. Under GAAP, these sales are recognized under either real estate, lease, or consolidation accounting rules depending upon the nature of the individual asset contributed, with outcomes ranging from no profit recognition to full profit recognition. IFRS profit, less deferrals associated with retained equity, is recognized for sales related to the residential lease portfolio. Revenue recognition for other projects sold to 8point3 is deferred until these projects reach commercial operations consistent with IFRS rules. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees includes the impact of the company’s share of 8point3’s earnings related to sales of projects receiving sales recognition under IFRS but not GAAP. Management believes that these adjustments for the impact of 8point3 enable investors to better evaluate the company's revenue and profit generation performance.

• Utility and power plant projects. The company includes adjustments related to the revenue recognition of utility and power plant projects based on the separately-identifiable components of transactions in order to reflect the substance of the transactions. This treatment is consistent with accounting rules relating to such projects under IFRS. On a GAAP basis, such projects are accounted for under U.S. GAAP real estate accounting guidance. Management calculates separate revenue and cost of revenue amounts each fiscal period in accordance with the two treatments above and the aggregate difference for the company’s affected projects is included in the relevant reconciliation tables below. Over the life of each project, cumulative revenue and gross margin will be equivalent under the two treatments; however, revenue and gross margin will generally be recognized earlier under the company’s non-GAAP treatment than under the company’s GAAP treatment. Among other factors, this is due to the attribution of non-GAAP revenue and margin to the company’s project development efforts at the time of initial project sale as required under IFRS accounting rules, whereas no separate attribution to this element occurs under U.S. GAAP real estate accounting guidance. Within each project, the relationship between the adjustments to revenue and gross margins is generally consistent. However, as the company may have multiple utility and power plant projects in progress at any given time, the relationship in the aggregate will occasionally appear otherwise. Management believes that this adjustment for utility and power plant projects enables investors to evaluate the company's revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of its core businesses.

• Sale of operating lease assets. The company includes adjustments related to the revenue recognition of the sale of certain property subject to an operating lease (or of property that is leased by or intended to be leased by the third-party purchaser to another party). This treatment is consistent with accounting rules relating to the sale of such property under IFRS. On a GAAP basis, these sales are accounted for as borrowing transactions in accordance with lease accounting guidance. Management believes that these adjustments for the sale of operating lease assets enables investors to better evaluate the company’s revenue and profit generation performance.

• FPSC arbitration ruling. On January 28, 2015, an arbitral tribunal of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce declared a binding partial award in the matter of an arbitration between First Philippine Electric Corporation (“FPEC”) and First Philippine Solar Corporation (“FPSC”) against SunPower Philippines Manufacturing, Ltd. (“SPML”), the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The tribunal found SPML in breach of its obligations under its supply agreement with FPSC, and in breach of its joint venture agreement with FPEC. The second partial and final awards received on July 17, 2015 and October 19, 2015, respectively, reduced the estimated amounts to be paid to FPEC. As a result, the company recorded its best estimate of probable loss related to this case. As this loss is nonrecurring in nature, excluding this data provides investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without similar impacts.

• Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation relates primarily to the company’s equity incentive awards. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are difficult to predict. Due to this unpredictability, management excludes this item from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that this adjustment for stock-based compensation provides investors with a basis to measure the company's core performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without the period-to-period variability created by stock-based compensation.

• IPO-related costs. Costs incurred related to the IPO of 8point3 included legal, accounting, advisory, valuation, and other expenses, as well as modifications to or terminations of certain existing financing structures in preparation for the sale to 8point3. As these costs are non-recurring in nature, excluding this data provides investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without similar impacts.

• Other. The company combines amounts previously disclosed under separate captions into “Other” when amounts do not have a significant impact on the current fiscal period. Management believes that these adjustments provide investors with a basis to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies, without similar impacts.

The amounts recorded in “Other” during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 are driven by adjustments which would have previously been disclosed under other non-GAAP adjustment captions, including “Amortization of intangible assets,” “Non-cash interest expense,” and “Restructuring.”

• Tax effect. This amount is used to present each of the adjustments described above on an after-tax basis in connection with the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. The company's non-GAAP tax amount is based on estimated cash tax expense and reserves. The company forecasts its annual cash tax

liability and allocates the tax to each quarter in proportion to earnings for that period. This approach is designed to enhance investors’ ability to understand the impact of the company's tax expense on its current operations, provide improved modeling accuracy, and substantially reduce fluctuations caused by GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments, which may not reflect actual cash tax expense.

• EBITDA adjustments. When calculating EBITDA, in addition to adjustments described above, the company excludes the impact during the period of the following items:

• Cash interest expense, net of interest income

• Provision for income taxes

• Depreciation

Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to give investors a basis to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies.

• Free cash flow adjustments. When calculating free cash flow, the company includes the impact during the period of the following items:

• Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

• Proceeds from issuance of non-recourse debt financing, net of issuance costs

• Repayment of non-recourse debt financing

• Proceeds from residential lease financing

• Repayment of residential lease financing

• Proceeds from sale-leaseback financing

• Repayment of sale-leaseback financing

• Proceeds from 8point3 Energy Partners attributable to operating leases and unguaranteed sales-type lease residual values

• Contributions from noncontrolling interests attributable to real estate projects

• Contributions from noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests

• Distributions to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests

Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors to evaluate the company's performance, including compared with the performance of other companies.

For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" set forth at the end of this release, which should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
