Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
SunPower Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “SunPower,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading solar technology and energy services provider that offers fully integrated solar, storage, and home energy solutions to customers primarily in the United States and Canada through an array of hardware, software, and financing options and “Smart Energy” solutions. Our Smart Energy initiative is designed to add layers of intelligent control to homes, buildings, and grids—all personalized through easy-to-use customer interfaces. We are a leader in the U.S. Distributed Generation (“DG”) storage and energy services market, providing customers control over electricity consumption and resiliency during power outages while providing cost savings to homeowners. Our sales channels include a strong network of both installing and non-installing dealers and resellers that operate in residential markets as well as a group of talented and driven in-house sales teams engaged in direct sales to end customers. We are invested in growing our business by focusing on continued innovation, product development, and investments, while enhancing our customer experience and culture. SunPower is a majority-owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies Solar INTL SAS (“Total,” formerly Total Solar International SAS) and TotalEnergies Gaz & Electricité Holdings SAS (“Total Gaz,” formerly Total Gaz Electricité Holdings France SAS), each a subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE (“TotalEnergies SE,” formerly Total SE) (see “Note 3. Transactions with Total and TotalEnergies SE”).
On February 6, 2022, we signed an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with TotalEnergies Renewables USA, LLC (“TotalEnergies Renewables”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE, for the sale of our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“C&I Solutions”) business for a preliminary purchase price of $190.0 million, subject to the terms and considerations set forth in the Definitive Agreement. The transaction closed on May 31, 2022, and upon closing, we received net cash consideration of $149.2 million based on the estimated net assets of the business on that date. Refer to Note 2. Discontinued Operations for more details on the transaction.
Liquidity
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements, including repayment of our $425.0 million 4.00% senior convertible debentures due 2023 (the “4.00% debentures due 2023”), $100.0 million of which are held by TotalEnergies, which mature on January 15, 2023. The holders of 4.00% debentures due 2023 may exercise their right to convert into our common stock any time prior to their maturity, instead of cash repayment. In order for us to fulfill our obligation to repay the 4.00% debentures due 2023, we could also use proceeds from the sale of shares of Enphase Energy, Inc (“Enphase”) common stock and cash generated from operations. In addition, in the past we have generated liquidity by securing other sources of financing, such as accessing the capital markets, as well as implementing other cost reduction initiatives and deferring uncommitted expenditures, to address our liquidity needs. We believe it is probable that these actions will generate sufficient proceeds if needed to satisfy our debt obligations under the 4.00% debentures due 2023. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of the actions discussed above to generate liquidity or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned.
In the past, we have refinanced and extended the maturity date of certain debts; however, there is no assurance that the 4.00% debentures due 2023 will be refinanced or their maturity extended such that we can sufficiently meet our obligations as they become due or on terms acceptable to us.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“United States” or “U.S.,” and such accounting principles, “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and include the accounts of SunPower, all of our subsidiaries and special purpose entities, as appropriate under U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information included herein is unaudited, and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The January 2, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from SunPower’s audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in SunPower's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. The operating results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2022, or for any other future period.
We have a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Both the current fiscal year, fiscal 2022, and prior fiscal year, fiscal 2021, are 52-week fiscal years. The second quarter of fiscal 2022 ended on July 3, 2022, while the second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended on July 4, 2021.
Management Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Our actual financial results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, specifically nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, standalone selling price of performance obligations, and variable consideration; credit losses, including estimating macroeconomic factors affecting historical recovery rate of receivables; inventory and project asset write-downs; long-lived assets and goodwill impairment, specifically estimates for valuation assumptions including discount rates and future cash flows; fair value of investments, including equity investments for which we apply the fair value option and other financial instruments; valuation of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination; valuation of contingent consideration in a business combination; valuation of contingencies such as warranty and litigation; the incremental borrowing rate used in discounting of lease liabilities; the fair value of indemnities provided to customers and other parties; and income taxes and tax valuation allowances.
Segment Information
As a result of the sale of our C&I Solutions business, we now operate in a single operating segment, providing solar power systems and services to residential customers. While our chief executive officer, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information by different functions and revenue streams, he considers the business on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and reviewing overall business performance.
Summary of Selected Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are updates to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 for the full list of our significant accounting policies. There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies except as disclosed below.

Retail installment contract receivables, net
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we launched SunPower FinancialTM, with an objective to expand our relationship with our customers and to make renewable energy affordable for more homeowners and increase access to underserved populations by offering a new line of financial products featuring expanded eligibility. This includes entering into a retail installment contract, together with a sale of the solar power system, offering a long-term loan to our customers at affordable rates to finance their purchase. These retail installment contracts allow us to extend credit to the customers to pay for the solar power systems they purchased, on an installment basis, with a term of typically 20-25 years.
Revenue from the sale of solar power systems underlying these retail installment contracts is recognized similar to other contracts, when the solar power system is fully installed and final permit is received from the authority having jurisdiction, as we deem our performance obligation under the contract to be complete at such time, and the customer retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the solar power system. Further, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, given the long-term nature of these receivables, a significant financing component is deemed to exist. We adjust the transaction price to quantify and defer the significant financing component at contract inception, using the discount rate that would be reflective of a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception. The significant financing component amount is deferred and recognized as revenue over the contract term. We recognize the interest income as revenue given the contracts are entered into in connection with the sales of our solar power systems and within our ordinary business activities.
As of July 3, 2022, the receivables are classified within current and non-current assets, based on the underlying contractual payment terms, as “accounts receivable, net” and “other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We are actively looking to refinance the contracts with several third-party financial institutions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendment reduces the number of accounting models used for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features separately recognized from the host contracts. ASU 2020-06 is effective no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and the ASU should be applied retrospectively. We adopted the ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 6, 2022, we signed the Definitive Agreement with TotalEnergies Renewables for the sale of our C&I Solutions business. The transaction closed on May 31, 2022 pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement, and TotalEnergies Renewables acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of our C&I Solutions business. The preliminary purchase price of $190.0 million was subject to certain adjustments, including cash, indebtedness, and an estimated closing date working capital adjustment. Upon closing, we received net cash consideration of $149.2 million based on the estimated net assets of the business on that date. As of July 3, 2022, we recorded a payable of $6.3 million to Total, based on the latest estimate of closing date working capital. The consideration and working capital adjustment are currently estimates and subject to further review and adjustment by both parties within 90 days of closing, as per the terms of the Definitive Agreement.
As the sale represented a transaction between entities under common control, the gain was recorded as “additional paid-in capital” and “non-controlling interest” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 3, 2022, with a portion of the gain recorded in “non-controlling interest” due to the transfer of our safe harbor inventory from our consolidated VIE, Solar Sail, LLC (“Solar Sail”), to Total. The sale of the C&I Solutions business is a common control transaction in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, as TotalEnergies Renewables is a wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE that holds a more than 50% voting interest in the Company and TotalEnergies Renewables as of July 3, 2022. As such, the difference between the total cash consideration received and the net book value of the C&I Solutions business, and the estimated working capital adjustment recorded, was recorded as an equity transaction.
11
We also incurred transaction costs in connection with the sale of $8.3 million and $10.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively, which were expensed as incurred and included within “loss from discontinued operations before income taxes” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We began incurring these transaction costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, and incurred transaction costs of $0.3 million in the three and six months ended July 4, 2021.
The following table presents the gain on sale of our C&I Solutions business recorded within our condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three months ended July 3, 2022:

In accordance with the accounting guidance, the C&I Solutions business is presented as discontinued operations for the period up to and including the date of the sale, including the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as the signing of the Definitive Agreement had occurred and the sale represented a strategic shift in our business with major impacts on our current and historical financial results. As such, for all periods presented, the financial results of C&I Solutions are presented as net earnings from discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as well as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH TOTAL AND TOTALENERGIES SE
In June 2011, Total completed a cash tender offer to acquire 60% of our then outstanding shares of common stock at a price of $23.25 per share, for a total cost of approximately $1.4 billion. In December 2011, we entered into a Private Placement Agreement with Total, under which Total purchased, and we issued and sold, 18.6 million shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $8.80 per share, thereby increasing Total's ownership to approximately 66% of our outstanding common stock as of that date. As of July 3, 2022, ownership of our outstanding common stock by TotalEnergies SE and its affiliates was approximately 51%. Subsequent to the spin-off of Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (“Maxeon Solar”) completed on August 26, 2020 (the “Spin-Off”), Total received a pro rata distribution of ordinary shares of Maxeon Solar, and its percentage ownership of shares of SunPower did not change.
On May 25, 2022, Total announced the signature of agreements with Global Infrastructure Partners (“GIP”) to acquire 50% of Clearway Energy Group (“CEG”) from them. As consideration, Total will pay $1.6 billion in cash, as well as an interest of 50% minus one share in the wholly-owned subsidiary of Total that holds all of Total's holding of approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock. The transaction is expected to close in late fiscal 2022.
14
Affiliation Agreement
In April 2011, we and Total entered into an Affiliation Agreement that governs the relationship between Total and us (the “Affiliation Agreement”). Until the expiration of a standstill period specified in the Affiliation Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), and subject to certain exceptions, Total, TotalEnergies SE, and any of their respective affiliates and certain other related parties (collectively, the “Total Group”) may not effect, seek, or enter into discussions with any third party regarding any transaction that would result in the Total Group beneficially owning our shares in excess of certain thresholds, or request us or our independent directors, officers, or employees to amend or waive any of the standstill restrictions applicable to the Total Group. The Standstill Period ends when Total holds less than 15% ownership of us.
The Affiliation Agreement imposes certain limitations on the Total Group’s ability to seek to effect a tender offer or merger to acquire 100% of our outstanding voting power and imposes certain limitations on the Total Group's ability to transfer 40% or more of our outstanding shares or voting power to a single person or group that is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE. During the Standstill Period, no member of the Total Group may, among other things, solicit proxies or become a participant in an election contest relating to the election of directors to our board of directors (the “Board”).
The Affiliation Agreement provides Total with the right to maintain its percentage ownership in connection with any new securities issued by us, and Total may also purchase shares on the open market or in private transactions with disinterested stockholders, subject in each case to certain restrictions.
The Affiliation Agreement also imposes restrictions with respect to our and our Board’s ability to take certain actions, including specifying certain actions that require approval by the directors other than the directors appointed by Total and other actions that require stockholder approval by Total.
On April 19, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Affiliation Agreement with Total (the “April Affiliation Agreement Amendment”). The April Affiliation Agreement Amendment provided that our Board would include 11 members, composed of our president and chief executive officer, our immediate past chief executive officer, (“Mr. Werner”), 6 directors designated by Total, and 3 non-Total-designated directors. If the ownership of our voting securities by Total, together with the controlled subsidiaries of TotalEnergies SE, declined below certain thresholds, the number of members of the Board that Total was entitled to designate will be reduced as set forth in the Affiliation Agreement. Pursuant to the April Affiliation Agreement Amendment, Mr. Werner resigned from his position as a member of the Board on November 1, 2021. On October 29, 2021, we entered into an additional amendment to the Affiliation Agreement (the “October Affiliation Agreement Amendment”), which provided that our Board would remain at 11 members until March 31, 2022 and allowed for the appointment of 1 additional independent director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Werner’s resignation from the Board, which has been filled as of December 31, 2021. The October Affiliation Agreement Amendment further provided that, after March 31, 2022, the Board would revert to 9 members, at which time 1 independent director and 1 Total designee will resign from the Board. As previously disclosed, on March 31, 2022, 1 independent director and 1 Total designee resigned from the Board, and the Board reverted to 9 members as of such date.
Cooperation Agreement
In December 2020, we entered into a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Total that governed the ongoing relationship between us and Total with respect to development and sale of certain future commercial solar power projects. As a result of the sale of our C&I Solutions business on May 31, 2022, we transferred our obligations under the Cooperation Agreement to TotalEnergies Renewables.
15
4.00% Debentures Due 2023
In December 2015, we issued $425.0 million in principal amount of our 4.00% debentures due 2023. An aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million of the 4.00% debentures due 2023 was acquired by Total. Interest is payable semi-annually, beginning on July 15, 2016. The 4.00% debentures due 2023 are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time. When issued, the initial conversion rate in respect of the 4.00% debentures due 2023 was 32.7568 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.53 per share). After giving effect to the Spin-Off, effective September 1, 2020, the conversion rate adjusted to 40.1552 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $24.90 per share), which provides Total the right to acquire up to 4,015,515 shares of our common stock. Notice of the conversion rate adjustment was delivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 4.00% debentures due 2023. The applicable conversion rate may further adjust in certain circumstances, including a fundamental change, as described in the indenture governing the 4.00% debentures due 2023. If not earlier repurchased or converted, the 4.00% debentures due 2023 mature on January 15, 2023. The sale of our C&I Solutions business during the quarter, and the resulting classification as discontinued operations in these condensed consolidated financial statements, does not qualify as a fundamental change under the indenture.

1 The reduction in “services and other” revenue for the three months ended July 3, 2022 was due to the reversal of variable consideration on 2 of our legacy large power plant projects that we sold in fiscal 2018 and 2019.
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers when we have completed our performance obligations under an identified contract. The revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration for the corresponding performance obligations for the goods and services transferred.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for our residential cash and loan customers. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Refer to Note 5. Balance Sheet Components for further details. Total contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows:

Note 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement (observable inputs are the preferred basis of valuation):
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Measurements are inputs that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1.
•Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require management inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
21
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during any presented period.
The following table summarizes our assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022. We had no liabilities to measure and record at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022.

Equity investments with fair value option (“FVO”)
We have elected the fair value option in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for our investment in the SunStrong Capital Holdings, LLC (“SunStrong”) and Dorado Development Partners, LLC (“Dorado DevCo”) joint ventures and SunStrong Partners, LLC (“SunStrong Partners”), to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that results from the use of different measurement attributes (see Note 10. Equity Investments). We initially computed the fair value for our investments consistent with the methodology and assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. The fair value computation is updated using the same methodology on a quarterly basis considering material changes in the business of SunStrong, Dorado DevCo, and SunStrong Partners or other inputs. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the fair value of the investments using the income approach based on the discounted cash flow method which considered estimated future financial performance, including assumptions for, among others, forecasted contractual lease income, lease expenses, residual value of these lease assets and long-term discount rates, and forecasted default rates over the lease term and discount rates, some of which require significant judgment by management and are not based on observable inputs.
The following table summarizes movements in equity investments for the six months ended July 3, 2022. There were no internal movements between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements to or from Level 3 fair value measurements for the six months ended July 3, 2022.

Level 3 significant unobservable inputs sensitivity
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuation of our investments carried at fair value as of July 3, 2022. Included in the table are the inputs and range of possible inputs that have an effect on the overall valuation of the financial instruments.

Total assets | $ | 11,692 |
1 The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our equity investments, when using a discounted cash flow model, are the discount rate and residual value. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. We estimate the discount rate based on risk appropriate projected cost of equity. We estimate the residual value based on the contracted systems in place in the years being projected. Significant increases (decreases) in the residual value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
Equity investments with readily determinable fair value
In connection with the divestment of our microinverter business to Enphase on August 9, 2018, we received 7.5 million shares of Enphase common stock (NASDAQ: ENPH). The common stock received was recorded as an equity investment with readily determinable fair value (Level 1), with changes in fair value recognized in net income in accordance with ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, we recorded a loss of $15.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, within “other, net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as compared to gains of $83.0 million and $38.3 million in the three and six months ended July 4, 2021. During the six months ended July 3, 2022, we sold 1 million shares of Enphase common stock in open market transactions for net cash proceeds of $149.8 million. As of July 3, 2022, we hold 1.5 million shares of Enphase common stock.
Retail installment contract receivables, net
The aggregate carrying value of our long-term retail installment contracts as of July 3, 2022 was $100.5 million, included within “accounts receivable, net” and “other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We measure the retail installment contracts using the amortized cost method, where the significant financing component amount is deferred and recognized as revenue over the contract term. The fair value of these receivables as of July 3, 2022 was $80.2 million. The fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs based on weighted average market indexed-based pricing from our retail installment loan purchase agreement pricing list and quarterly market interest rates as reported by an independent pricing source.
Note 8. RESTRUCTURING
January 2021 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we adopted a restructuring plan to realign and optimize workforce requirements concurrent with the planned closure of our manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. In connection with the restructuring plan, which included actions implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, a majority of our approximately 170 primarily manufacturing employees exited the business. We expected to incur restructuring charges totaling approximately $7.0 million to $9.0 million, consisting primarily of severance benefits (between $4.0 million and $5.0 million) and real estate lease termination costs (between $3.0 million and $4.0 million).
In connection with the closure, in April 2021, we signed agreements with 2 independent third parties to sell certain assets and liabilities, as well as retain and engage certain employees at the facility in providing R&D services. The proceeds for the assets and sale of R&D services reduced our previously anticipated restructuring charges by approximately $1.2 million. The R&D services agreement ended during the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
23
As of July 3, 2022, we had incurred cumulative costs of approximately $3.3 million in restructuring charges, primarily relating to the payment of severance benefits. The 2021 restructuring plan is substantially completed, with the only remaining activities on the plan relating to severance payments for certain employees retained.
December 2019 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted a restructuring plan to realign and optimize workforce requirements in light of changes to our business, including the Spin-Off. In connection with the restructuring plan, which included actions implemented in the fourth quarter of 2019, we expected between 145 and 160 non-manufacturing employees, representing approximately 3% of our global workforce, to exit over a period of approximately 12 to 18 months. Between 65 and 70 of these employees were expected in the legacy SunPower Technologies business unit and corporate, most of whom exited our company following the Spin-Off, and the remainder of which exited upon completion of transition services. As the legacy SunPower Energy Services business unit refined its focus on distributed generation, storage, and energy services, 80 to 90 employees exited during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 and the first half of 2020. As of July 3, 2022, we had incurred cumulative costs of approximately $6.1 million in restructuring charges consisting primarily of severance and retention benefits. The 2019 restructuring plan was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
The following table summarizes the comparative periods-to-date restructuring charges by plan recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The future purchase obligations presented above primarily consist of commitments to purchase photovoltaic modules pursuant to the supply agreement with Maxeon Solar entered into on August 26, 2020, as well as commitments to purchase Module-Level Power Electronics ("MLPEs”) supplied by 1 vendor. On February 14, 2022, we entered into a Master Supply Agreement with Maxeon Solar which replaced the previous supply agreement dated as of August 26, 2020. the Master Supply Agreement was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and will remain in effect until December 31, 2023. The supply agreement also increases purchase prices and includes exclusivity provisions that will last until December 31, 2022 for certain products, and may be extended to October 13, 2023 for other products upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The terms of all our long-term supply agreements are reviewed annually by us and we assess the need for any accruals for estimated losses on adverse purchase commitments, such as lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments that will not be recovered by future sales prices, forfeiture of advanced deposits and liquidated damages, as necessary.

In connection with a cracking issue identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a one-time quality charge of $26.5 million during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. The total charge was estimated using assumptions of cost to be incurred on labor and material based on our plan and quoted third-party prices to replace all the installed and uninstalled connectors. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2022, there have been no significant changes to the original estimate. We plan to complete the majority of the repairs through fiscal 2023.
Liabilities Associated with Uncertain Tax Positions
Total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.4 million and $14.7 million as of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively. These amounts are included within “other long-term liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets in their respective periods as they are not expected to be paid within the next 12 months. Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with our tax positions, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which cash settlement, if any, would be made for our liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in other long-term liabilities.
Indemnifications
We are a party to various agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the counterparty with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in connection with contracts and license agreements or the sale of assets, under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of warranties, representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, negligent acts, damage to property, validity of certain intellectual property rights, non-infringement of third-party rights, and certain tax-related matters including indemnification to customers under Section 48(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, regarding solar commercial investment tax credits (“ITCs”) and U.S. Treasury Department (“U.S. Treasury”) cash grant payments under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (each a “Cash Grant”). Further, in connection with our sale of residential lease assets in fiscal 2018 to SunStrong, we provide Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“Hannon Armstrong”) indemnification related to cash flow losses arising from a recapture of California property taxes on account of a change in ownership, recapture of federal tax attributes and cash flow losses from leases that do not generate the promised savings to homeowners. The maximum exposure to loss arising from the indemnification for SunStrong is limited to the consideration received for the solar power systems. In each of these circumstances, payment by us is typically subject to the other party making a claim to us that is contemplated by and valid under the indemnification provisions of the particular contract, which provisions are typically contract-specific, as well as bringing the claim under the procedures specified in the particular contract. These procedures typically allow us to challenge the other party’s claims or, in case of breach of intellectual property representations or covenants, to control the defense or settlement of any third-party claims brought against the other party. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of activity (typically to replace or correct the products or terminate the agreement with a refund to the other party), duration or amount. In some instances, we may have recourse against third parties or insurance covering certain payments made by us.
27
In certain circumstances, we are contractually obligated to compensate customers and investors for losses they may suffer as a result of reductions in benefits received under ITCs and U.S. Treasury Cash Grant programs. The indemnity expires in conjunction with the statute of limitation and recapture periods in accordance with the underlying laws and regulations for such ITCs and related benefits. We apply for ITCs and Cash Grant incentives based on guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the U.S. Treasury, which include assumptions regarding the fair value of the qualified solar power systems, among others. Certain of our development agreements, sale-leaseback arrangements, and financing arrangements with tax equity investors incorporate assumptions regarding the future level of incentives to be received, which in some instances may be claimed directly by our customers and investors. Generally, such obligations would arise as a result of reductions to the value of the underlying solar power systems as assessed by the IRS. At each balance sheet date, we assess and recognize, when applicable, the potential exposure from these obligations based on all the information available at that time, including any audits undertaken by the IRS. The maximum potential future payments that we could have to make under this obligation would depend on the difference between the eligible basis claimed on the tax filing for the solar energy systems sold or transferred to indemnified parties and the values that the IRS may determine as the eligible basis for the systems for purposes of claiming ITCs or Cash Grants. We use the eligible basis for tax filing purposes determined with the assistance of independent third-party appraisals to determine the ITCs that are passed through to and claimed by the indemnified parties. We continue to retain certain indemnities, specifically, around ITCs, Cash Grants and California property taxes, even after the underlying portfolio of assets is sold to a third party. For contracts that have such indemnification provisions, we recognize a liability under ASC 460, Guarantees, for the estimated premium that would be required by a guarantor to issue the same guarantee in a standalone arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. We recognize such liabilities at the greater of the fair value of the indemnity or the contingent liability required to be recognized under ASC 450, Contingencies. We initially estimate the fair value of any such indemnities provided based on the cost of insurance policies that cover the underlying risks being indemnified and may purchase such policies to mitigate our exposure to potential indemnification payments. After an indemnification liability is recorded, we derecognize such amount typically upon expiration or settlement of the arrangement. As of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, our provision was $9.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively, primarily for tax-related indemnifications.
SunPower is party to various supply agreements (collectively, the “Hemlock Agreements”) with Hemlock Semiconductor Operations, LLC (f/k/a Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation) and its affiliate, Hemlock Semiconductor, LLC, for the procurement of polysilicon. In connection with the Spin-Off, SunPower and Maxeon Solar entered into an agreement pursuant to which Maxeon Solar received the benefit of SunPower’s rights under the Hemlock Agreements (including SunPower’s deposits and advanced payments thereunder) and, in return, Maxeon Solar agreed to perform all of SunPower’s existing and future obligations under the Hemlock Agreements, including all take-or-pay obligations (the “Back-to-Back Agreement”). As we remain a party to the Hemlock Agreements, we are contractually liable to the vendor along with Maxeon Solar.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, Hemlock communicated to us and Maxeon Solar that they believe that certain price escalation clauses for silicon metal have been triggered and would apply to all purchases of polysilicon for 2022 deliveries. We and Maxeon Solar do not believe that these inflationary price escalation clauses apply to the purchase of polysilicon for 2022 deliveries. We and Maxeon Solar are currently involved in discussions with Hemlock to explore a mutually acceptable resolution. Maxeon Solar’s remaining obligations under the Hemlock Agreements, without giving effect to any alleged inflationary price escalation clauses, amounts to $36.6 million for the remainder of fiscal 2022. This is gross of prepayments of $12.9 million as of July 3, 2022. We do not believe we have any current exposure under the Hemlock Agreements as of quarter ended July 3, 2022 as we are fully indemnified by Maxeon Solar under the Back-to-Back Agreement. As such, we do not carry any liability for the Hemlock Agreements on our condensed consolidated financial statements as long as Maxeon Solar complies with its obligations under the Hemlock Agreements and the Back-to-Back Agreement.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into by us and Maxeon Solar, we agreed to indemnify Maxeon Solar for any liabilities arising out of certain existing litigation relating to businesses contributed to Maxeon Solar in connection with the Spin-Off. We expect to be actively involved in managing this litigation together with Maxeon Solar. The indemnity qualifies for the criteria for accounting under the guidance in ASC 460, and we have recorded the liability of litigation of $6.3 million equal to the fair value of the guarantee provided as of the period ended July 3, 2022. The fair value includes $2.0 million relating to a change in the fair value of the liability for one of the indemnified litigation matters that was settled during the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
28
Legal Matters
We are a party to various litigation matters and claims, including but not limited to intellectual property, environmental, and employment matters, that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While we believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on us, their outcomes are not determinable and negative outcomes may adversely affect our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
Note 10. EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Our equity investments consist of equity investments with readily determinable fair value, investments without readily determinable fair value, equity investments accounted for using the fair value option, and equity method investments.
Our share of earnings (losses) from equity investments accounted for under the equity method is reflected as “Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated investees” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Mark-to-market gains and losses on equity investments with readily determinable fair value are reflected as “other, net” under other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity investments, classified as “other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:

1 During the six months ended July 3, 2022, we sold 1 million shares of Enphase common stock for cash proceeds. As of July 3, 2022, we had 1.5 million shares of Enphase common stock, all of which are within current assets as short-term investments. Refer to Note 7. Fair Value Measurements and Note 5. Balance Sheet Components for details.
2 During the six months ended July 3, 2022, we made an equity investment in OhmConnect, Inc. (“OhmConnect”) of $5.0 million cash in exchange for an equity interest of 1.8% at the time of purchase. The investment is accounted for as an equity investment without readily determinable fair value in accordance with the guidance in ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities.
3 During the six months ended July 3, 2022, we made an equity investment in Sea Bright Solar, Inc. (“Sea Bright”) to purchase 20% of the outstanding equity of Sea Bright, and paid consideration of $2.0 million. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, this investment is accounted for as an equity method investment without readily determinable fair value as we exercise significant influence. During the three months ended July 3, 2022, we had $0.1 million of transaction costs on our investment, which we capitalized in accordance with the guidance on equity method investments.
4 During the three months ended July 3, 2022, we made an equity investment in Freedom Solar Holdings, LLC (“Freedom Solar”) of $9.4 million cash in exchange for an equity interest of 4.5% at the time of purchase. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the investment is accounted for as an equity method investment without readily determinable fair value given the material intra-entity transactions that exist under our exclusive supplier agreement with Freedom Solar as a result of our investment.
29
Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)
A VIE is an entity that has either (i) insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.
We follow guidance on the consolidation of VIEs that requires companies to utilize a qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The process for identifying the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires consideration of the factors that indicate a party has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the investees' economic performance, including powers granted to the investees' governing board and, to a certain extent, a company's economic interest in the investee. We analyze our investments in VIEs and classify them as either unconsolidated VIEs or consolidated VIEs (refer to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 for further details on our various VIE arrangements).
Unconsolidated VIEs
In March 2022, we entered into a joint venture with Hannon Armstrong and SunStrong to form Dorado DevCo, a jointly-owned entity, to hold our residential lease solar power projects. Similar to our prior joint ventures for residential lease assets, SunPower and Hannon Armstrong will make total capital contributions of up to $7.9 million into Dorado DevCo for 50% effective equity interest, each. SunStrong, our existing joint venture with Hannon Armstrong was appointed as a manager of the entity. We also entered into a development asset purchase agreement to provide development services for solar power systems sold into the fund.
With respect to our interest in Dorado DevCo, we determined there is not sufficient equity at risk in the joint venture, thus, we determined the joint venture is a VIE as considered under the guidance in ASC 810, Consolidation. Based on the assessment of the required criteria for consolidation, we determined that SunStrong, as the manager of Dorado DevCo, has the power to make decisions over activities that significantly affect Dorado DevCo and subsidiaries. We and Hannon Armstrong do not have the power to unilaterally make decisions that affect the performance of the investee, and we do not have kick-out rights to unilaterally buyout the other party's equity interests, while Hannon Armstrong has a right to purchase our equity interest of the investee. In addition, much of our exposure to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or the right to receive the economic interest from the VIE, is in our capacity as a developer and service provider, where we provide development services at market terms. Therefore, we concluded we are not the primary beneficiary of the investee.
During the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, we made a $3.2 million and $3.3 million capital contribution in the equity method investee, respectively. The investment contributed to our equity investment balance in SunStrong and is classified in “other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We have elected the FVO in accordance with the guidance in ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for our investments in SunStrong, SunStrong Partners, and Dorado DevCo, our unconsolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 7. Fair Value Measurements.

Loan Facility with Credit Suisse AG
On June 30, 2022, we entered into a loan and security purchase agreement with Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, and other financial institutions, to finance our retail installment contract receivables. The agreement provided for a $100.0 million delayed draw term loan which will mature on December 29, 2023. In connection with the loan agreement, we have established a special-purpose entity acting as the borrower under the facility.
The loans under the agreement bear interest at a rate as adjusted by the benchmark adjustment, as defined in the term loan agreement, or the base rate plus the applicable margin for such loans. In addition, we also entered into an interest rate swap under the agreement, which converts the floating rate loan to a fixed rate. The swap terminates in March of 2024, unless we terminate early with the maturity of the loan, subject to any early termination costs. The term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a covenant that any assets of the borrower will not be available to other creditors of the company.
As of July 3, 2022, we had $55.7 million borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility.

Note 12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into certain agreements with Maxeon Solar, including a transition services agreement, supply agreement, and collaboration agreement.
During the three months ended July 3, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the Cross License Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Maxeon Solar to amend the Cross License Agreement that we entered into in connection with the Spin-off, pursuant to which the Company and Maxeon Solar exclusively and non-exclusively licensed certain intellectual property rights. The Amendment provides for certain adjustments to the scope of Maxeon Solar’s non-exclusive license to the Company. Further in connection with the Amendment and in anticipation of the expiration of the Collaboration Agreement with Maxeon Solar in August 2022, the Company and Maxeon Solar also entered into ancillary agreements providing for the settlement of certain payments due under the collaboration agreement as well as, transition services arrangement, and sublease of the research and development facility located in San Jose, California, the transfer of certain assets, and support to complete a collaboration project that may extend past August 2022.
We recorded a net loss of $4.3 million in the three months ended July 3, 2022 in connection with the above agreements, that is presented within “research and development expenses” and “sales, general, and administrative expense” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 13. INCOME TAXES
In the three months ended July 3, 2022, our income tax provision of $3.2 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $38.5 million, was primarily due to changes in the forecasted annual effective tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax liability due to mark-to-market unrealized losses on equity investments. Our income tax provision of $3.6 million in the three months ended July 4, 2021 on an income from continuing operations before income taxes of $90.7 million was primarily due the deferred tax liability on mark-to-market unrealized gains on equity investments.
In the six months ended July 3, 2022, our income tax benefit of $8.4 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $52.6 million, was primarily due to the reversal of deferred taxes previously accrued for California as a result of the enactment of Senate Bill 113 which restored the ability to utilize net operating losses in 2022. Our income tax benefit of $1.5 million in the six months ended July 4, 2021 on an income from continuing operations before income taxes of $37.8 million was primarily due to windfall benefits from stock-based compensation deduction and the true-up of estimated state tax liability, partially offset by deferred tax liability on mark-to-market unrealized gains on equity investments.
34
During the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, in accordance with FASB guidance for interim reporting of income tax, we have computed our provision for income taxes based on a projected annual effective tax rate. Estimates of the annual effective tax rate at the end of interim periods are, of necessity, based on evaluations of possible future events and transactions and may be subject to subsequent refinement or revision. The income tax differs from the amounts computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to the loss from continuing operations before income tax primarily as a result of our valuation allowance and discrete items recorded during the quarters.
In the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, our income tax benefit of $0.2 million and $0.6 million on a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $20.9 million and $47.2 million respectively, was primarily due to the state tax benefit of year-to-date operating losses of the C&I Solutions business. In the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, our income tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.3 million on a loss from discontinued operations before income taxes of $13.5 million and $15.4 million was also due to the state tax benefit of year-to-date operating losses.
The sale of the C&I Solutions business to TotalEnergies Renewables resulted in a taxable gain in the quarter ended July 3, 2022. The tax impact of $1.4 million was recorded in “additional paid-in capital” within our condensed consolidated statements of equity, consistent with the accounting treatment of the gain and tax accounting guidance.
Total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.4 million and $14.7 million as of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively. The increase of $0.7 million was primarily due to incremental accrual of interest and penalties on existing reserves and foreign exchange rate changes for non-U.S. liabilities.
Note 14. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
We calculate basic net income (loss) per share by dividing earnings allocated to common stockholders by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted weighted-average shares is computed by using the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the if-converted method, except when their effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include restricted stock units and the outstanding senior convertible debentures.
ASC 260 requires that companies use income from continuing operations as a “control number” or benchmark to determine whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive. When calculating discontinued operations, we used the same number of potential common shares used in computing the diluted per-share amount of income from continuing operations in computing all other reported diluted per-share amounts, even if the effect will be antidilutive compared to their respective basic per-share amounts.

Overview
SunPower is a leading solar technology and energy services provider that offers fully integrated solar, storage and home energy solutions to customers primarily in the United States and Canada through an array of hardware, software, and financing options and "Smart Energy" solutions. Our Smart Energy initiative is designed to add layers of intelligent control to homes, buildings, and grids—all personalized through easy-to-use customer interfaces. We are a leader in the U.S. Distributed Generation (“DG”) storage and energy services market, providing customers control over electricity consumption and resiliency during power outages while providing cost savings to homeowners. Our sales channels include a strong network of both installing and non-installing dealers and resellers that operate in residential markets as well as a group of talented and driven in-house sales teams engaged in direct sales to end customers.
As a result of the classification of the C&I Solutions business as discontinued operations, we now operate in a single operating segment, providing solar power systems and services to residential customers. While our chief executive officer, as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information by different functions and revenue streams, he considers the business on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and reviewing overall business performance.

Key Developments
Sale of the C&I Solutions Business
On February 6, 2022, we signed an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with TotalEnergies Renewables USA, LLC (“TotalEnergies Renewables”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE, for the sale of our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“C&I Solutions”) business for a preliminary purchase price of $190.0 million, subject to the terms and considerations set forth in the Definitive Agreement.

Our total revenues during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 increased by 60% and 53%, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, largely due to higher volume in organic residential business across all channels, primarily from our dealer network, and increase in pricing during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, as well as the acquisition of Blue Raven in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. This was partially offset by a reduction in revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 from the reversal of variable consideration on two of our legacy large power plant projects that we sold in fiscal 2018 and 2019.
We did not have any customers that accounted for greater than 10% of total revenues for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022.
One customer accounted for approximately 16% of total revenues for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, primarily within solar power systems sales revenue category.

Our total cost of revenues increased by 68% and 56% during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, as a result of revenue growth from the Blue Raven acquisition and our other sales channels, as well as increasing material and labor costs, during fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower costs due to lower headcount from the shutdown of our Hillsboro, Oregon facility during the first part of fiscal 2021.
Our gross margin decreased by 3 percentage points and 1 percentage point during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, primarily due to inflationary cost increases in excess of pricing increases, as well as a reduction in revenue during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 from the reversal of variable consideration on two of our legacy large power plant projects that we sold in fiscal 2018 and 2019. This was partially offset by higher sales volume across all channels during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Restructuring credits in the three months ended July 3, 2022 primarily represent benefits incurred due to the transfer of employees to Maxeon Solar as a result of the amendment to the cross license agreement and ancillary agreements entered into with Maxeon Solar during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Restructuring charges in the six months ended July 3, 2022 primarily represent severance costs for certain employees as a result of our decision to exit the Light Commercial business starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and remaining charges on our existing restructuring plans, partially offset by the benefits incurred due to the transfer of employees from the amendment of the agreement and other ancillary agreements entered into during the quarter. See “Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 8. Restructuring” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding our restructuring plans.
Restructuring (credits) charges decreased by $1.3 million, or 161%, and $4.4 million, or 97%, during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the decrease in restructuring charges for our 2021 restructuring plan related to closure of the Hillsboro, Oregon manufacturing facility, which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as well as benefits in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 caused by the transfer of employees to Maxeon Solar as a result of the amendment to the cross license agreement and ancillary agreements entered into with Maxeon Solar during the quarter.

Gain on sale and impairment of residential lease assets decreased by $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the large majority of residential lease assets being sold in prior years and no impairment deemed necessary in the quarter on the remaining portfolio.

This was partially offset by additional transition services provided to Total in connection with the sale of the C&I Solutions business during the quarter.

Interest expense decreased by $0.7 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, due to lower debt for a large part of the second quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to repayment of our 2021 convertible debentures in June 2021, as well as other recourse debt during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2022. New debt entered into during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was obtained near the end of the quarter, and did not incur any noticeable interest expense.
Other income decreased by $98.7 million in the three months ended July 3, 2022 as compared to the three months ended July 4, 2021, primarily due to a loss of $15.2 million on equity investment with readily determinable fair value in the three months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to a gain of $83.0 million in the three months ended July 4, 2021.
Other income decreased by $52.8 million in the six months ended July 3, 2022 as compared to the six months ended July 4, 2021, primarily due to a loss of $13.9 million on equity investment with readily determinable fair value in the six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to a gain of $38.3 million in the six months ended July 4, 2021.

In the three months ended July 3, 2022, our income tax provision of $3.2 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $38.5 million was primarily due to changes in the forecasted annual effective tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in the deferred tax liability due to mark-to-market unrealized losses on equity investments. Our income tax provision of $3.6 million in the three months ended July 4, 2021 on an income from continuing operations before income taxes of $90.7 million was primarily due the deferred tax liability on mark-to-market unrealized gains on equity investments.
In the six months ended July 3, 2022, our income tax benefit of $8.4 million on a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $52.6 million was primarily due to the reversal of deferred taxes previously accrued for California as a result of the enactment of Senate Bill 113 which restored the ability to utilize net operating losses in 2022. Our income tax benefit of $1.5 million in the six months ended July 4, 2021 on an income from continuing operations before income taxes of $37.8 million was primarily due to windfalls benefit from stock-based compensation deduction and the true-up of estimated state tax liability, partially offset by deferred tax liability on mark-to-market unrealized gains on equity investments.
As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022, as part of our continuing operations, an insignificant amount of the accumulated foreign earnings was located outside of the United States and may be subject to foreign income tax or withholding tax liability upon repatriations. However, the accumulated foreign earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries; therefore, no provision for such foreign taxes has been made. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in the United States and Mexico to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with the estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event we determine that we would be able to realize additional deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, or if we subsequently determine that realization of an amount previously recorded is unlikely, we would record an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would change income tax in the period of adjustment.

In September 2019, we entered into the Solar Sail, LLC (“Solar Sail”) and Solar Sail Commercial Holdings, LLC (“Solar Sail Commercial”) joint ventures with Hannon Armstrong to finance the purchase of 200 megawatts of panel inventory in accordance with IRS safe harbor guidance to preserve the 30% federal ITC for third-party owned commercial and residential systems. We determined that we hold controlling interests in Solar Sail and Solar Sail Commercial, and therefore we have fully consolidated these entities. We apply the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method in allocating recorded net income (loss) to each investor based on the change in the reporting period, of the amount of net assets of the entity to which each investor would be entitled to under the governing contractual arrangements in a liquidation scenario.
The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, respectively, primarily due to higher volume of sale of safe harbor panels using our Solar Sail entity, and lower allocation of net loss, including tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation benefits using HLBV method to noncontrolling interests in Solar Sail and Solar Sail Commercial.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses recorded in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2022 compared to those previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, except as disclosed below.
Retail installment contract receivables, net
Our retail installment contracts offer a long-term loan to our customers at affordable rates to finance their purchase. These retail installment contracts allow us to extend credit to the customers to pay for the solar power systems they purchased, on an installment basis, with a term of typically 20 - 25 years.
Revenue from the sale of solar power systems underlying these retail installment contracts is recognized similarly to other contracts, when the solar power system is fully installed and final permit is received from the authority having jurisdiction, as we deem our performance obligation under the contract to be complete at such time, and the customer retains all of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the solar power system. Further, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, given the long-term nature of these receivables, a significant financing component is deemed to exist. We adjust the transaction price to quantify and defer the significant financing component at contract inception, using the discount rate that would be reflective of a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contract inception. We measure the retail installment contracts using the amortized cost method, where the significant financing component amount is deferred and recognized as revenue over the contract term.

45
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 of $164.6 million consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
The $146.2 million increase in cash used in operations in the six months ended July 3, 2022 compared to the corresponding the six months ended July 4, 2021, was primarily due a higher net loss during the six months ended July 3, 2022 compared to the corresponding prior, after excluding non-cash items, most significantly, loss from mark-to-market adjustment on Enphase shares. In addition, cash used in operations increased year over year due to higher accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets from on-balance sheet retail installment contracts, and higher inventories, partially offset by lower net payment for accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 of $252.1 million primarily consisted of cash received from the C&I Solutions sale and proceeds from sale of equity investments, partially offset by cash paid for purchases of property, plant, and equipment, investments in intangible assets, equity investments, and investments in unconsolidated investees.
The $244.7 million increase in net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended July 3, 2022 compared to the corresponding the six months ended July 4, 2021, primarily resulted from cash received from the C&I Solutions sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and proceeds from the sale of equity investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, partially offset by higher cash paid for purchases of property, plant, and equipment, and cash paid for new equity investments in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2022, as well as cash paid for investments in unconsolidated investees in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 which did not occur in fiscal 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 of $7.5 million primarily consisted of purchases of stock for tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, partially offset by net proceeds of bank loans and other debt.
The $76.7 million decrease in net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended July 3, 2022 compared to the corresponding the six months ended July 4, 2021, primarily resulted from higher net proceeds from bank loans and other debt, partially offset by higher cash paid on purchases of stock for tax withholding obligations. In addition, repayment of convertible debt which occurred in fiscal 2021 did not recur in fiscal 2022, resulting in the decrease in net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended July 3, 2022.
Capital Resources
As of July 3, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $206.4 million as compared to $123.7 million as of January 2, 2022. These cash balances were held primarily in the United States; however, we had approximately $1.4 million held outside of the United States. This offshore cash is used to fund our business operations in Mexico, Canada, and the Asia Pacific region, which require local payment for payroll, materials, and other expenses. We use our available cash on-hand and short-term equity investment as well as various types of recourse and non-recourse debt as a primary source of funding for our operations, capital expenditure and mergers and acquisitions.
While we move towards a less capital-intensive business model in the near-term, with the sale of our C&I Solutions business which closed in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we will continue to need capital in order to grow our business, including investments in customer acquisition, product and digital, as well as mergers and acquisition activities. We will seek to raise additional required capital through various cost-effective sources, including accessing the capital markets.
Overall, we maintain working capital and debt levels that we establish through consideration of a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, our cost of capital, and targeted capital structure. We may also make debt purchases and/or exchanges for debt or equity from time to time through tender offers, exchange offers, redemptions, open market purchases, private transactions, or otherwise, or seek to raise additional debt or equity capital, depending on market conditions.
46
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our financial statements, including repayment of our $425.0 million 4.00% senior convertible debentures due 2023 (the “4.00% debentures due 2023”), $100.0 million of which are held by TotalEnergies, which mature on January 15, 2023. The holders of 4.00% debentures due 2023 may exercise their right to convert into our common stock any time prior to their maturity, instead of cash repayment. In order for us to fulfill our obligation to repay the 4.00% debentures due 2023, we could also use proceeds of the sale of shares of Enphase Energy, Inc (“Enphase”) common stock and cash generated from operations. In addition, in the past we have generated liquidity by securing other sources of financing, such as accessing the capital markets, as well as implementing other cost reduction initiatives and deferring uncommitted expenditures, to address our liquidity needs. We believe it is probable that these actions will generate sufficient proceeds if needed to satisfy our debt obligations under the 4.00% debentures due 2023. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of the actions discussed above to generate liquidity or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned.
In the past, we have refinanced and extended the maturity date of certain debts; however, there is no assurance that the 4.00% debentures due 2023 will be refinanced or their maturity extended to sufficiently meet our obligations as they become due or on terms acceptable to us.
For information about the terms of debt instruments and changes thereof in the period, see “Item 1. Financial Statements-Note 11. Debt and Credit Sources” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our material contractual obligations and cash requirements for future periods as of July 3, 2022:

1 Convertible debt, including interest, relates to the aggregate of $425.0 million in outstanding principal amount of our senior convertible debentures due 2023, and interest of $9.2 million until maturity, of which $0.7 million is payable upon maturity in fiscal 2023. For the purpose of the table above, we assume that all holders of our convertible debt will continue to hold through the date of maturity, and will not convert.
2 Other debt, including interest, primarily relates to our non-recourse financing and other debt arrangements as described in Note 11. Debt and Credit Sources.
3 Operating lease commitments primarily relate to various facility lease agreements including leases entered into that have not yet commenced.
4 Supply agreement commitments primarily relate to arrangements entered into with several suppliers, including Maxeon Solar, for purchase of photovoltaic solar modules, as well as with a supplier for module-level power electronics and alternating current cables. These agreements specify future quantities and pricing of products to be supplied by the vendors for periods of two years and five years, respectively, and there are certain consequences, such as forfeiture of advanced deposits and liquidated damages relating to previous purchases, in the event we terminate these arrangements.
Liabilities Associated with Uncertain Tax Positions
Due to the complexity and uncertainty associated with our tax positions, we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period in which cash settlement will be made for our liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions in other long-term liabilities. Therefore, they have been excluded from the table above. As of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, total liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions were $15.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively, and are included within "Other long-term liabilities" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as they are not expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting SunPower, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures since January 2, 2022, except as discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk from our financing receivables based on the fixed rate of interest as established by the underlying contract between us and the customer. This risk is significant to our business because our financing model is sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, and given the fixed rate of interest for the retail installment contracts currently signed, we would be adversely affected by increases in interest rates or liquidity constraints as we have locked in fixed rates of interest lower than what will be required when we refinance the contracts with third-party financial institutions.
As of July 3, 2022, our retail installment contract receivables had a fair value of $80.2 million. A hypothetical 50 basis points change in market interest rates did not have a material effect on the fair value of these receivables.
Also, we are exposed to interest rate risk because many of our customers depend on debt financing to purchase our solar power systems, as well as our long-term financing receivables through our retail installment contract receivable program. Further increases in market interest rates could make it difficult for our customers to obtain the financing necessary to purchase our solar power systems on favorable terms, or at all.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure control and procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 3, 2022 at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. In connection with this implementation, we modified the design and documentation of our internal control processes and procedures relating to the new system. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
