SUNEDISON, INC. (FKA MEMC ELECTRONIC MATERIALS, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At the annual stockholders' meeting on May 30, 2013, stockholders approved a change in the name of the company from MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. to SunEdison, Inc. As a result of the name change, effective June 3, 2013, the company's stock symbol on the New York Stock Exchange changed from "WFR" to "SUNE" to reflect the new corporate name.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SunEdison, Inc. and subsidiaries ("SunEdison"), in our opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring items) necessary to present fairly our financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. SunEdison has presented the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and consequently, these financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which contains SunEdison's audited financial statements for such year. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, we recorded income tax expense for adjustments to deferred taxes which resulted in a net expense of $6.1 million. These adjustments were out of period because they related to our 2011 consolidated financial statements but were not considered material to our consolidated results of operations in 2011.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, management identified an error and revised the amounts previously presented for cost of goods sold due to a non-cash inventory adjustment which eliminated intercompany profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This change increased our cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 by $22.6 million. We have determined that the effects of these revisions were not material to previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The company revised the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 by increasing cost of goods sold by $6.6 million and revised the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 by increasing cost of goods sold by $16.0 million and $22.6 million, respectively, for this item during the first and second quarter 2013 filings that contain these financial statements. This resulted in the net loss increasing from $92.0 million to $98.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the net loss increasing from $61.3 million to $77.2 million and from $153.3 million to $175.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we have revised our previously reported balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 to report certain deferred tax balances totaling $43.7 million, which had previously been reported as net deferred taxes. As a result, as of December 31, 2012, "Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets" have been revised from $212.2 million to $212.4 million, "Other Assets" have been revised from $519.2 million to $562.7 million, "Accrued Liabilities" have been revised from $344.2 million to $343.0 million and "Other Liabilities" have been revised from $261.6 million to $306.5 million. We have determined the effects of these revisions were not material to previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The revision had no effect on previously reported statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity or cash flows. These revisions have been reflected in this Form 10-Q to the extent applicable and will be reflected for all quarterly and annual periods presented in our future filings.
Reclassifications
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods contain certain reclassifications to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
Use of Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Estimates are used when accounting for investments; depreciation; amortization; leases; accrued liabilities including restructuring, warranties, and employee benefits; derivatives; stock-based compensation; income taxes; solar energy system installation and related costs; percentage-of-completion on long-term construction contracts; the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with business combinations; and asset valuations, including allowances, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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 and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, our future results of operations would be affected.
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02 ("ASU 2013-02"), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), to provide guidance about AOCI disclosure requirements. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements; however, it does require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2013. See Note 10 for further information.
In February 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends FASB ASU 2011-08 and states that companies can use a qualitative approach to measuring Intangibles, Goodwill and Other rather than a quantitative approach. In addition, it is not required for an entity to disclose the quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy required by paragraph 820-10-50-2 that relate to the financial accounting and reporting for an indefinite-lived intangible asset after its initial recognition. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2013 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(2) | Restructuring (Reversals) Charges |
During the second half of 2011, the semiconductor and solar industries experienced downturns, of which the downturn in solar was more severe. In order to better align our business to the then current and expected market conditions in the semiconductor and solar markets, as well as to improve the company's overall cost competitiveness and cash flows across both segments, we committed to a series of restructuring actions to reduce the company's global workforce, right size production capacity and accelerate operating cost reductions in 2012 and beyond (the "2011 Global Plan"). These restructuring actions included reducing the total workforce by approximately 20%, shuttering the company's Merano, Italy polysilicon facility, reducing production capacity at the company's Portland, Oregon crystal facility, slowing the ramp of the Kuching, Malaysia facility, as well as consolidating our solar wafering and solar energy systems operations into a single Solar Energy business unit effective January 1, 2012. The 2011 Global Plan was substantially completed in 2012, except for certain voluntary termination benefits which may be paid in 2013, and ongoing negotiations with certain vendors and suppliers, including those affecting our Merano, Italy polysilicon facility, related to these restructuring activities. We are continuing to evaluate our options for our shuttered polysilicon facility in Merano, Italy. These options include disposal of the facility through sale or other means or reopening the facility, which could occur in the future.
On August 8, 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with ReneSola Singapore PTE. LTD (“ReneSola”) relating to the termination of the long-term polysilicon and long-term wafer supply agreement entered on June 9, 2010. This settlement agreement relieved each party of its remaining obligations. In relation to the supply agreement, we made a refundable deposit so that, in the event of a purchase shortfall during the term of the supply agreement, ReneSola could, pursuant to the terms of the supply agreement, apply any remaining deposits toward purchase shortfalls. Prior to the settlement agreement, there was approximately $34.8 million remaining in the refundable deposit. Since ReneSola was entitled to draw down on and retain the remainder of the refundable deposit upon execution of the settlement agreement, we reversed the remaining refundable deposit asset and corresponding customer deposit liability. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a result of this settlement agreement.
On September 4, 2012, we executed two settlement agreements with Evonik Industries AG and Evonik Degussa SpA ("Evonik"), one of our suppliers, to settle disputes arising from our early termination of two take-or-pay supply agreements in connection with the 2011 Global Plan. One of the original supply agreements also included a provision for the construction and operation of a chlorosilanes plant located on our existing Merano, Italy polysilicon facility for our benefit. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, we were required to pay Evonik a total of 70.0 million Euro, of which 25.0 million Euro was paid in 2012, 10.0 million Euro was paid in the first quarter of 2013, 20.0 million Euro was paid in the second quarter of 2013, and the remaining 15.0 million Euro was paid in the third quarter of 2013. As a result of these settlement agreements, a favorable adjustment to our 2011 Global Plan accrual was recorded resulting in $69.2 million of income within restructuring and impairment (reversals) charges on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
period ended September 30, 2012. On December 31, 2012, as part of the settlement with Evonik, we obtained title to the related chlorosilanes plant.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $1.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of income was recognized pertaining to the 2011 Global Plan primarily as a result of a reversal of liabilities related to the costs associated with the Merano, Italy polysilicon and other semiconductor facilities due to settlements of certain obligations and changes in estimates, offset by immaterial expenses related to various restructuring activities.
We incurred tangible asset impairment charges of $14.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, on solar wafering assets during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. It was determined that the related assets had no future service potential.
Details of expenses, cash payments and expected costs related to the 2011 Global Plan are set forth in the following table:

Non-solar Energy System Debt
Senior Notes
On March 10, 2011, we issued $550.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due April 1, 2019 (the "2019 Notes"). We incurred $13.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are amortized into the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the eight year term. The 2019 Notes were sold at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by certain of SunEdison's domestic subsidiaries (the "guarantors"). The 2019 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future secured debt.
The indenture governing the 2019 Notes contains covenants that limit our and certain subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, (i) to make certain asset sales, (ii) to make certain restricted payments and investments, (iii) to incur indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (iv) to declare dividends, (v) to make other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries, (vi) to engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and (vii) to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations, and in certain situations, a cross default provision. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. In addition, the indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among other things: failure to make payments on the 2019 Notes when due, failure to comply with covenants under the indenture, failure to pay other indebtedness or acceleration of maturity of other indebtedness, failure to satisfy or discharge final judgments and occurrence of bankruptcy events.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our corporate revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. is an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility has a term of three years and expires in March 2014.
We have amended the Credit Facility from time to time to adjust various covenants to accommodate changes in our business results. Currently, our consolidated leverage ratio covenant under the Credit Facility is 2.5 to 1.0, and our minimum liquidity covenant under the Credit Facility requires a variable minimum liquidity amount based on our trailing twelve month consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Our minimum liquidity covenant
amount under the Credit Facility is $500 million in the event our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is less than $400 million. In the event the trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $400 million and less than $600 million, our minimum liquidity amount will be $400 million. In the event it is greater than or equal to $600 million and less than $850 million, our minimum liquidity will be $300 million. Finally, if our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $850 million, then no minimum liquidity amount is required.
The Credit Facility contains representations, covenants and events of default typical for credit arrangements of comparable size, including maintaining a consolidated leverage ratio and the variable minimum liquidity amount discussed above. The Credit Facility also contains a customary material adverse effects clause and a cross default clause. The cross default clause is applicable to defaults on other indebtedness in excess of $35 million, excluding our non-recourse indebtedness. Our liquidity position was in excess of the minimum liquidity amount by $410.6 million and our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.7 at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, although we had approximately $229.7 million and $121.8 million, respectively, of outstanding third party letters of credit backed by the Credit Facility at such dates, which reduces the available capacity. Therefore, funds available under the Credit Facility were $170.3 million and $278.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Long-term Notes
Long-term notes at September 30, 2013 primarily consists of $12.5 million owed to a bank by our Japanese subsidiary, are guaranteed by us, and are secured by the property, plant and equipment of our Japanese subsidiary. Such guarantees would require us to satisfy the loan obligations in the event that our Japanese subsidiary failed to pay such debt in accordance with its stated terms. These loans mature in years ranging from 2013 to 2017.
Second Lien Term Loan
On September 28, 2012, we entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement ("Term Loan") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. providing for a term loan maturing on October 2, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, with a 2.0% discount to par for proceeds of $196.0 million. Additionally, we incurred $10.8 million in debt issuance costs, which are amortized into the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the five year term. As of September 30, 2013, the current interest rate on the Term Loan is 10.75%.
On January 15, 2013, we entered into an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $200.0 million, a cap rate of 1.50%, an effective date of March 28, 2013 and a maturity date of September 30, 2015. The interest rate cap hedges the 3-month LIBOR variable rate maintained within the Term Loan, as described in Note 6.
Similar to the Credit Facility (discussed above), the Term Loan contains affirmative and negative covenants. These include but are not limited to limiting the company's and certain of our subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, (i) to create, incur, assume or suffer any liens on assets or revenues, (ii) to make other restricted payments and investments, (iii) to incur indebtedness, (iv) to enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) to merge, consolidate or sell/dispose of assets, (vi) to enter into burdensome agreements, (vii) to engage in any material line of business different from current lines, or (viii) to prepay indebtedness or amend indebtedness that adversely affects the Term Loan lenders. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations.
Additionally, the Term Loan has financial covenants requiring a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, and minimum liquidity levels depending on our trailing twelve-month consolidated EBITDA and also includes a cross default clause. Our minimum liquidity covenant amount will be $400 million in the event our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is less than $400 million. In the event the trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $400 million and less than $600 million, our minimum liquidity amount will be $300 million. In the event it is greater than or equal to $600 million and less than $850 million, our minimum liquidity will be $200 million. Finally, if our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $850 million then no minimum liquidity amount is required. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan.
Other Financing Commitments
We have short-term committed financing arrangements of approximately $31.9 million at September 30, 2013, of which there were no short-term borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2013. Of this amount, $10.5 million is unavailable because it relates to the issuance of third party letters of credit. Interest rates are negotiated at the time of the borrowings.
During the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized $6.3 million and $4.3 million of interest, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized $12.9 million and $15.7 million of interest, respectively.
Solar Energy System Debt, Financings and Capital Leaseback Obligations
Our solar energy systems for which we have short-term and long-term debt, capital leaseback and finance obligations are included in separate legal entities that we consolidate. Of this total debt outstanding, $2,294.5 million relates to project specific non-recourse financing that is backed by solar energy system operating assets. This debt has recourse to those separate legal entities but no recourse to SunEdison under the terms of the applicable agreements. These finance obligations are collateralized by the related solar energy system assets. These obligations may also include limited guarantees by SunEdison of contractual obligations related to construction, operations, maintenance and certain indemnities.
Short–term Debt
We have a borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under the current terms of the SunEdison non-recourse project construction revolver. This revolver contains certain covenants that provide if our Corporate Family or Corporate Credit Rating for Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") falls below "B1" or our Standard & Poor's ("S&P") rating falls below "B+", we will be required to post, at our election, a letter of credit or surety bond equal to 15.0% of the total outstanding balance in order to be able to continue to make additional borrowings under this facility. As of September 30, 2013, our ratings were "B3" and "B+" for Moody's and S&P, respectively. Because our Corporate Family Rating for Moody's was below "B1", a letter of credit equal to 15.0% of the $47.5 million outstanding balance was posted as of September 30, 2013.
This revolver also includes a customary material adverse effects clause whereby a breach may disallow a future draw but not accelerate payment. This revolver also contains a cross default clause whose remedy, among other rights, includes the right to restrict future loans as well as the right to accelerate principal and interest payments. Because this is non-recourse financing, covenants relate specifically to the collateral amounts and transfer of right restrictions.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $47.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, outstanding on this revolver. In the event additional construction financing is needed, we have the ability to draw upon the available capacity of our Credit Facility (discussed above). In the event we do not have adequate net working capital, such inability to fund future projects may have an adverse impact on our business growth plans, financial position and results of operations.
System Pre-Construction, Construction and Term Debt
SunEdison typically finances its solar energy system projects through project entity specific debt. Construction debt is typically secured by the project entity's assets (mainly the solar energy system), which debt has no recourse to SunEdison. Typically, these financing arrangements provide for a construction loan, which upon completion will be converted into a term loan, and generally do not restrict the future sale of the project entity to a third party buyer.
As of September 30, 2013, SunEdison had total solar energy system pre-construction, construction and term debt outstanding of $858.8 million. Included in this amount is $118.9 million of fixed rate non-recourse debt financing arrangement used to finance the construction of a SunEdison owned solar power plant executed in the third quarter of 2013. Also included in this amount, is $368.2 million related to variable rate debt with interest rates tied to various indexes, including the London Interbank Offered Rate, Euro Interbank Offer Rate, Canadian Dollar Offer Rate or the Prime Rate. A portion of the variable interest rates have been hedged by our outstanding interest rate swaps as discussed in Note 6. The interest rates on the pre-construction, construction and term debt range from 3.0% to 18.0%. The maturities range from 2013 to 2033 and these construction term debt facilities are collateralized by the related solar energy system assets with an aggregate carrying amount of $105.5 million.
During the second quarter of 2012, we violated covenants of two non-recourse solar energy system loans as a result of the devaluation of the local currency (Indian Rupee). On September 28, 2012, we obtained a waiver from the lender for the covenant violation, which has a grace period until November 20, 2013. During the grace period, the debt will be classified as short-term debt. We make no assurance that the covenants will be met after the grace period. The solar energy systems for these two project companies collateralize the loans and there is no recourse outside of the project companies for repayment of this debt. The balance of the non-recourse debt was $24.0 million as of September 30, 2013.
Capital Leaseback Obligations
We are party to master lease agreements that provide for the sale and simultaneous leaseback of certain solar energy systems constructed by us. As of September 30, 2013, we had $136.8 million of capital lease obligations outstanding. Generally, this classification occurs when the term of the lease is greater than 75.0% of the estimated economic life of the solar energy system and the transaction is not subject to real estate accounting. The terms of the leases are typically 25 years, with certain leases providing terms as low as 10 years and providing for early buyout options. The specified rental payments are based on projected cash flows that the solar energy system will generate. Since the acquisition of SunEdison LLC by the company on November 20, 2009, SunEdison has not entered into any arrangements that have resulted in accounting for the sale-leaseback as a capital lease.
Financing Leaseback Obligations
In certain transactions, we account for the proceeds of sale-leasebacks as financings, which are typically secured by the solar energy system assets and its future cash flows from energy sales, but without recourse to SunEdison under the terms of the arrangement. The structure of the repayment terms under the lease typically results in negative amortization throughout the financing period, and we therefore recognize the lease payments as interest expense. The balance outstanding for sale-leaseback transactions recorded as financings as of September 30, 2013 is $1,169.6 million, which includes the transactions discussed below. The maturities range from 2021 to 2038 and are collateralized by the related solar energy system assets with a carrying amount of $1,186.5 million.
On March 31, 2011, one of SunEdison's project subsidiaries executed a master lease agreement with a U.S. financial institution which provides for the sale and simultaneous leaseback of certain solar energy systems constructed by SunEdison. The total capacity under this agreement is $120.0 million, of which $101.8 million is outstanding and $18.2 million is available as of September 30, 2013. The specified rental payments will be based on projected cash flows that the solar energy systems will generate.
On June 27, 2012, one of SunEdison's subsidiaries executed a master lease agreement with a U.S. financial institution which provides for the sale and simultaneous leaseback of certain solar energy systems. The total capacity under this agreement is $50.0 million, of which $12.0 million is outstanding and $38.0 million is available as of September 30, 2013. The specified rental payments will be based on projected cash flows that the solar energy systems will generate.
On September 24, 2012, one of SunEdison's project subsidiaries executed a master lease agreement with a U.S. financial institution which provides for the sale and simultaneous leaseback of certain solar energy systems constructed by SunEdison. The total capacity under this agreement is $102.0 million, of which $55.9 million is outstanding and $46.1 million is available as of September 30, 2013. The specified rental payments will be based on projected cash flows that the solar energy systems will generate.
Other System Financing Transactions
Other system financing transactions represent the cash proceeds that SunEdison received in connection with an executed solar energy system sales contract that has not met the sales recognition requirements under real estate accounting and has been accounted for as a financing. Included in other system financing is $18.0 million of proceeds collected under three separate solar energy system sales agreements with the buyer that provides the buyer with a put option that could become an obligation in the event that we are unable to fulfill certain performance warranties set to expire during 2015. The remaining portion of other system financings of $102.8 million relates to cash proceeds received in connection with separate solar energy system sales contracts for which SunEdison has substantial continuing involvement. There are no principal or interest payments associated with these transactions. These amounts are expected to be recorded to revenue when the contractual provisions and indemnifications expire as adjusted for actual losses.

To mitigate financial market risks of foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize currency forward contracts. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We generally hedge transactional currency risks with currency forward contracts. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures are generally offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments, reducing our net exposure. A substantial portion of our revenue and capital spending is transacted in U.S. Dollars. However, we do enter into transactions in other currencies, primarily the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the South African Rand and certain other Asian currencies. To protect against reductions in value and volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, we have established transaction-based hedging programs. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not always eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. At any point in time, we may have outstanding contracts with several major financial institutions for these hedging transactions. Our maximum credit risk loss with these institutions is limited to any gain on our outstanding contracts. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these currency forward contracts had aggregate notional amounts of $353.8 million and $320.5 million, respectively, and are accounted for as economic hedges.
During the second quarter of 2013, we entered into a cross currency swap with a notional amount of $185.8 million accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The amounts recorded to the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as provided in the table above, represent the fair value of the net amount that would settle on the balance sheet date if the swap was transferred to other third parties or canceled by us. The effective portion of this cash flow hedge instrument during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.
We have interest rate swap instruments with notional amounts totaling approximately $178.4 million and $40.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, that are used to hedge floating rate debt. Some of these hedges are designated as cash flow hedges while others are designated as economic hedges. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we
pay the fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreements pays us a floating interest rate. The amount recorded to the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as provided in the table above, represents the fair value of the net amount that we would settle on the balance sheet date if the agreements were transferred to other third parties or canceled by us. The effective portion of the cash flow hedges during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets while the changes in fair value of the economic hedges were recorded to interest expense (income) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No ineffectiveness related to the cash flow hedges was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
On January 15, 2013, we entered into an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $200.0 million, a cap rate of 1.50%, an effective date of March 28, 2013 and a maturity date of September 30, 2015. The interest rate cap hedges the 3-month LIBOR variable rate maintained within the $200.0 million Term Loan. Under the agreement, we pay the fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreement pays SunEdison a floating interest rate. The interest rate cap is designated as a cash flow hedge. The changes in fair value are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with any ineffectiveness recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No such ineffectiveness was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, we have upward amortizing interest rate swap agreements that are used as an economic hedge related to several consolidated solar energy system projects for which we own 8.2% of the project companies. These instruments are used to hedge floating rate debt with a construction loan availability of $200.0 million and are not designated as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, we pay the fixed rate and the counterparty to the agreement pays us a floating interest rate. The amount recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as provided in the table above, represents the estimated fair value of the net amount that we would settle on September 30, 2013 if the agreements were transferred to other third parties or cancelled by us. Because these agreements are designated as an economic hedge and not accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded to interest expense (income) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $0.7 million and an immaterial amount to interest expense, respectively, for fair value adjustments. These amounts are reduced in the condensed consolidated statement of operations by approximately $0.6 million and an immaterial amount, respectively, attributable to a non-controlling interest representing the 91.8% of the project companies we do not own. We also have an upward amortizing interest rate swap agreement that is designated as a cash flow hedge related to a solar energy system project. This instrument is used to hedge floating rate debt with a construction loan availability of $185.8 million. The changes in fair value are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as provided in the table above, with any ineffectiveness recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No such ineffectiveness was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our outstanding short-term debt, long-term debt and capital lease obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of September 30, 2013 | | As of December 31, 2012 |

|
__________________________
| |
(1) | Fair value of our debt, excluding our $550.0 million 2019 Notes and the $200.0 million Term Loan, is calculated using a discounted cash flow model with consideration for our non-performance risk (Level 3 assumptions). The estimated fair value of our 2019 Notes and Term Loan were based on a broker quotation (Level 1). The estimated fair value of our solar energy system debt related to sale-leasebacks is significantly lower than the carrying value of such debt because the fair value estimate is based on the fair value of our fixed lease payments over the term of the leases (Level 3 assumptions). Under real estate accounting, this debt is recorded as a financing obligation, and substantially all of our lease payments are recorded as interest expense with little to no reduction in our debt balance over the term of the lease. As a result, our outstanding sale-leaseback debt obligations will generally result in a one-time gain recognition at the end of the leases for the full amount of the debt. The timing difference between expense and gain recognition will result in increased expense during the term of the leases with a significant book gain at the end of the lease. |
(8) (Loss) Earnings Per Share
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) was calculated as follows:

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the numerator of the EPS calculation included the amount recorded to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance to redemption value. In subsequent periods, as a result of the Share Sale Agreement entered into with the noncontrolling interest holder (see Note 9), the numerator of the EPS calculation will be reduced by the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of any earnings of the subsidiary until we have repurchased all of the noncontrolling interest holder’s shares.
Weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2013 includes the impact of the issuance of 34,500,000 shares of common stock on September 18, 2013 in a registered public offering (see Note 9).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, all options to purchase SunEdison stock and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive due to the net loss incurred for the respective periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, 31.7 million shares of stock options and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive.

(9) | Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest |
On September 18, 2013, we completed the issuance and sale in a registered public offering (the "Offering") of 34,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a public offering price of $7.25 per share, less discounts and commissions of $0.29 per share. All of the shares of common stock previously held as treasury stock were issued in connection with the Offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $239.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related offering costs.

Stock-Based Compensation
We have equity incentive plans that provide for the award of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, performance shares, and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. As of September 30, 2013, there were 5.2 million shares available for future grant under these plans. During the second quarter of 2013, 16.5 million shares were registered for issuance under our equity incentive plan pursuant to a plan amendment approved by our stockholders at the annual stockholders' meeting on May 30, 2013. In September 2013, 5.6 million of these newly registered shares were issued in connection with the Offering discussed above.

The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units per share on the date of grant was $8.74 and $3.09 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $8.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, stock based compensation expense was $22.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
On June 27, 2012, we issued redeemable common stock in certain consolidated subsidiaries to a non-affiliated third party for $10.4 million in proceeds (net of stock issuance costs) representing a 15% noncontrolling interest in those consolidated subsidiaries, which was initially reported as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in the temporary equity section on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. On September 24, 2013, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement with the noncontrolling interest holder, pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase the shares of redeemable common stock for a total of $14.9 million in four installments with payments beginning January 15, 2014 and continuing each quarter through October 15, 2014.
As a result of our unconditional obligation under the Share Sale Agreement, the amount previously reported as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest was reclassified to Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and adjusted to reflect the fair value of our obligation, which resulted in a reduction in retained earnings of $2.4 million.
Comprehensive income (loss) represents a measure of all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translations, gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, gains (losses) on hedging instruments and pension adjustments.

(1) | These other comprehensive loss components are included in interest expense. |
In general, we record income tax expense (benefit) each quarter based on our best estimate as to the full year's effective tax rate. This estimated tax expense (benefit) is reported based on a pro-ration of the actual income earned in the period divided by the full year forecasted income (loss). There are certain items, however, which are given discrete period treatment, and the tax effects of those items are reported in the quarter that such events arise. Items that give rise to discrete recognition include (but are not limited to) finalizing tax authority examinations, changes in statutory tax rates and expiration of a statute of limitations.
The process for calculating income tax expense (benefit) includes estimating current taxes due and assessing temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement reporting purposes. The income tax expense in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 is associated with the result of the worldwide operational earnings mix at various rates and a net decrease to the accrual for uncertain tax positions due to the conclusion of the 2007-2010 Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination, as separately discussed below. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for realizability, taking into consideration all available evidence, both positive and negative, including cumulative losses, projected future pre-tax and taxable income (losses), the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the expected impact of tax planning strategies. Our total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were $45.5 million and $84.9 million, respectively. We believe that it is more likely than not, based on our projections of future taxable income in certain jurisdictions, that we will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets which have not been offset by a valuation allowance at September 30, 2013.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. From time to time, we are subject to income tax audits in these jurisdictions. We believe that our tax return positions are fully supported, but tax authorities may challenge certain positions, which may not be fully sustained. Our income tax expense includes amounts intended to satisfy income tax assessments that may result from these challenges. Determining the income tax expense for these potential assessments and recording the related assets and liabilities requires significant judgments and estimates. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. We review our liabilities quarterly, and we may adjust such liabilities due to proposed assessments by tax authorities, changes in facts and circumstances, issuance of new regulations or new case law, negotiations between tax authorities of different countries concerning our transfer prices, the resolution of entire audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. Adjustments, if required, are most likely to occur in the year during which major audits are closed. The total amount accrued for uncertain tax positions decreased $36.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was due the closure of the 2007-2010 IRS examination, as separately discussed below. The total accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $17.0 million and $53.2 million, respectively.
During the first nine months of 2013, we determined the undistributed earnings of one of our foreign wholly owned subsidiaries would be remitted to the United States in the foreseeable future. These earnings were previously considered permanently reinvested in the business and the unrecognized deferred tax assets related to these earnings was not recognized. The deferred tax effect of these newly planned remittances was recorded as a discrete deferred tax benefit in the amount of $67.4 million, which was fully offset by a valuation allowance. The undistributed earnings of all other foreign subsidiaries are not expected to be remitted to the U.S. parent corporation in the foreseeable future. We plan foreign remittance amounts based on projected cash flow needs as well as the working capital and long-term investment requirements of our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic operations. Of our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013, approximately $396.8 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to repatriation tax effects.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the IRS concluded its examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2007 through 2010 and, as a result, we recorded favorable and unfavorable adjustments to our accrual for uncertain tax positions. The IRS finalized taxable income adjustments related to various cost allocations and taxable income adjustments attributable to our foreign operations. Our settlement of those positions with the IRS resulted in an increase to the income tax provision of $7.8 million which was accrued in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, we had uncertain tax positions for deductions and tax credits that were effectively settled during the exam which reduced the accrual for uncertain tax positions by $33.2 million. The resolution of these matters resulted in an assessment of $11.8 million, which includes interest of $1.9 million (net of $1.0 million of federal tax benefit). The net effect to our 2013 tax provision from closure of the IRS examination was $9.6 million of tax expense.
We are currently under examination by the IRS for the 2011 tax year. We are also under examination by certain foreign tax jurisdictions. We believe it is reasonably possible that some portions of these examinations could be completed within the next twelve months and have currently recorded amounts in the financial statements that are reflective of the current status of these examinations.

(12) | Variable Interest Entities |
Variable interest entities are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders, as a group, lack one of more of the following characteristics: (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions, (b) obligation to absorb expected losses or (c) right to receive expected residual returns. We may establish joint ventures with non-related parties to share in the risks and rewards associated with solar energy system development, which are facilitated through equity ownership of solar energy related entities. We consolidate these solar energy related entities if we maintain the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the solar energy related entity's performance and share significantly in the risks and rewards of the solar energy related entity.
We are the primary beneficiary of ten VIEs in solar energy related entities that we consolidated as of September 30, 2013. The carrying amounts and classification of our consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
In millions | As of September 30, 2013 | | As of December 31, 2012 |
Current assets | $ | 325.1 |
| | $ | 10.3 |
|
Noncurrent assets | 329.8 |
| | 56.2 |
|
Total assets | $ | 654.9 |
| | $ | 66.5 |
|
Current liabilities | $ | (121.3 | ) | | $ | (8.5 | ) |
Noncurrent liabilities | (449.4 | ) | | (69.6 | ) |
Total liabilities | $ | (570.7 | ) | | $ | (78.1 | ) |
The amounts shown in the table above exclude intercompany balances, which are eliminated upon consolidation. All of the assets in the table above are restricted for settlement of the VIE obligations and all of the liabilities in the table above can only be settled using VIE resources. There are no material VIEs for which we determined we were not the primary beneficiary.
During the third quarter of 2013, a VIE (Existing VIE) consolidated by us made an investment in an entity that was determined to be a VIE (New VIE) for which our consolidated Existing VIE was determined to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we have consolidated the underlying New VIE as of September 30, 2013. On July 26, 2013 New VIE acquired a solar energy business and performed preliminary purchase accounting with respect to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete as of September 30, 2013 because additional time is needed to obtain all of the data required to complete the acquisition accounting, including finalization of procedures to determine the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Therefore, provisional amounts were used in the consolidation of New VIE as of July 26, 2013. These amounts are subject to change based on the finalization of the purchase accounting, including finalization of fair value measurements. The acquired business has certain third-party financial obligations which have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary or the Company. As of September 30, 2013 and for the period from July 26, 2013 to September 30, 2013, the total assets and liabilities of New VIE and the net loss attributable to SunEdison stockholders recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations were $335.6 million, $334.9 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. Future decisions made by New VIE, including potential changes to its capital structure, may impact our consolidation of New VIE in future periods.

On September 30, 2013, we terminated our long-term solar wafer supply agreement with Gintech Energy Corporation (“Gintech”) originally entered into on October 25, 2006 and subsequently amended. Under the terms of the original supply agreement, we were to supply Gintech with solar wafers at agreed upon prices on a take or pay basis, and Gintech was required to advance funds to us in the form of both refundable and non-refundable deposits. As part of a separate agreement, we also acquired shares of Gintech stock and shares of stock in a related Gintech entity at amounts deemed to be less than fair value. The non-refundable deposit was recorded as deferred revenue since it could only be fully retained by us after we fulfilled our supply obligations pursuant to the supply agreement. The difference between fair value and the amounts paid for stock were also recorded as deferred revenue since this represented consideration provided by Gintech as part of the supply agreement. Throughout the term of the supply agreement, we have amortized a portion of the deferred revenue into revenue based on actual quantities delivered. As part of the settlement, Gintech agreed that we would retain $21.9 million of the non-refundable deposit without recourse. In relation to the settlement, we recognized $22.0 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2013 representing a portion of the unamortized non-refundable deposit and a portion of the unamortized difference between fair value and the amounts paid for the stock. The remaining $0.9 million of deferred revenue will be recognized when we complete our remaining performance commitments that are scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the termination agreement, the remaining $35.1 million refundable deposit will be repaid to Gintech over time with payments beginning December 31, 2013 and continuing each quarter through June 30, 2016.
On March 29, 2013, we amended a long-term solar wafer supply agreement with Tainergy Tech Co., LTD ("Tainergy"). Under the terms of the supply agreement, we were to supply solar grade silicon wafers over a ten-year period at pre-determined pricing for certain volumes on a take-or-pay basis. Tainergy had advanced funds to us in the form of both refundable and non-refundable deposits pursuant to the agreement. Tainergy did not meet its purchase obligations pursuant to the supply agreement and agreed to settle the purchase shortfalls for the first four contract years. As part of the settlement, Tainergy agreed that we would deduct and retain $25.0 million of the refundable capacity reservation deposit without recourse and as a result, we recognized $25.0 million as revenue in the first quarter of 2013. In addition to the settlement of purchase shortfalls for the first four contract years, we agreed to significantly reduce required minimum purchase volumes in the remaining six contract years, as well as to modify the pricing terms to be based on market rates similar to other SunEdison long-term solar wafer supply agreements. The remaining deposit will be refunded ratably as purchases are made over the remaining six contract years. The forfeiture of the deposit of $25.0 million, which was previously reflected as a liability, has been reflected as cash provided by operating activities and cash used in financing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
On September 25, 2012, we agreed to terminate a long-term solar wafer supply agreement with Conergy AG. Under the terms of the supply agreement, we were to supply solar grade silicon wafers over a ten-year period at pre-determined pricing for certain volumes on a take-or-pay basis. Conergy had advanced funds to us in the form of both refundable and non-refundable deposits pursuant to the agreement. As part of the termination agreement with Conergy, we returned $21.3 million of the deposits and collected $26.7 million. In addition, Conergy agreed to assign to us certain operations and maintenance service agreements for solar projects in Germany, Italy and Spain or, if agreement could not be reached on those assignments, Conergy agreed to pay us $3.0 million in cash. This assignment was subject to our due diligence. We recognized $37.1 million as revenue at September 30, 2012 due to the fact we were relieved of our future performance obligations under the agreement. The retention of the deposit, which was previously reflected as a liability, in satisfaction of the take or pay requirement has been classified as an operating cash inflow in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the third quarter of 2013, pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement, we completed the due diligence period and elected not to take any operation and maintenance service agreements from Conergy and instead elected to receive the $3.0 million in cash, of which $2.0
million was collected in October 2013 with the remainder to be collected by December 31, 2013. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a result of this election.

Samsung Fine Chemicals Joint Venture
In February 2011, we entered into a joint venture with Samsung Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd. through our wholly owned subsidiary, MEMC Singapore Pte. Ltd. (now known as SunEdison Products Singapore Pte. Ltd), for the construction and operation of a new facility to produce high purity polysilicon in Ulsan, South Korea (the "SMP JV"). The SMP JV will manufacture and supply polysilicon to SunEdison and to international markets through SunEdison Singapore. Our ownership interest in the joint venture is 50% and Samsung Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd. owns the other 50%.
In September 2011, we executed a Supply and License Agreement with the SMP JV under which SunEdison will license and sell to the joint venture fluid-bed reactor (FBR) technology and related equipment used for producing polysilicon. We will receive proceeds under the Supply and License Agreement based on certain milestones being achieved throughout the construction, installation and testing of the equipment. Proceeds received from the SMP JV under the Supply and License Agreement will be recorded as a reduction in our basis in the SMP JV investment, and to the extent that our basis in the investment is zero, the remaining proceeds received will be recorded as a liability. To the extent the total cash proceeds received exceed the sum of our cost basis in the equipment plus our capital contributions to the SMP JV, and when we have no remaining performance obligations, a gain will be recognized.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we made equity contributions of $40.6 million under the Supply and License Agreement. In total, we have made $96.9 million in equity contributions to the SMP JV. Since inception of the SMP JV, the deposits received from Samsung under the Supply and License Agreement have exceeded our investment, and we recorded this as a reduction in our equity investment balance, with the excess of $60.2 million recorded in long-term customer and other deposits. The cash received is recorded as an investing inflow within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of September 30, 2013, our investment balance in the SMP JV was zero. Our total cash commitments, inclusive of the $96.9 million invested thus far, are expected to be approximately $175.0 million through the first half of 2014. We expect our remaining cash commitments to be substantially offset by proceeds to be received under the Supply and License Agreement.
Purchase Obligations
We maintain long-term agreements with multiple suppliers in connection with the purchase of certain raw materials and long-term agreements with multiple subcontractors to manufacture solar wafers for us.
As part of our 2011 Global Plan, we provided notice to several of our vendors with whom we had long-term supply contracts that we would no longer be fulfilling our purchase obligations. In connection with the restructuring, we recorded significant restructuring liabilities associated with the estimated settlements arising from these actions based on management's best estimates of the ultimate outcome of these contract resolutions at that time. As of September 30, 2013, we have recorded total liabilities of $40.1 million associated with the estimated settlements arising from these purchase obligations with multiple vendors, $9.7 million of which is recorded to short-term accrued liabilities and $30.4 million is recorded as long-term other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount accrued as of September 30, 2013 represents our best estimate of the probable amounts to settle all of our purchase obligations based on presently known information, which involve the use of assumptions requiring significant judgment. We estimate the range of reasonably possible losses to be up to approximately $166.0 million, inclusive of the Wacker claims as discussed below in the legal proceedings section. These estimates include the contractual terms of the agreements, including whether or not there are fixed volumes and/or fixed prices. In addition, under certain contracts, the counterparty may have a contractual obligation to sell the materials to mitigate their losses. We also included in our estimate of losses consideration around whether we believe the obligation will be settled through arbitration, litigation or commercially viable alternative resolutions or settlements. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against any arbitration or litigation. Due to the inherent uncertainties of arbitration and litigation, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome or resolution of such actions. The actual amounts ultimately settled with these vendors could vary significantly, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Contingent Consideration
As of September 30, 2013, liabilities for contingent consideration were recorded and are outstanding in connection with acquisitions. The liability recognized under these arrangements was $50.4 million as of September 30, 2013, representing the estimated fair value of these obligations. Of the $50.4 million liability, $26.8 million is recorded as a short term liability in contingent consideration and $23.6 million is recorded as a long-term liability in other liabilities. The aggregate maximum payouts which could occur under these arrangements is $84.3 million in the form of cash and equity. Any future revisions to the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with business combinations outside of the measurement period, which could be material, will be recorded to the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Commitments
Indemnifications
We have agreed to indemnify certain customers against claims of infringement of the intellectual property rights of others in our sales contracts with these customers. Historically, we have not paid any claims under these indemnification obligations, and we do not have any pending indemnification claims as of September 30, 2013.
We generally warrant the operation of our solar energy systems for a period of time. Certain parts and labor warranties from our vendors can be assigned to our customers. Due to the absence of historical material warranty claims and expected future claims, we have recorded an immaterial warranty accrual related to solar energy systems as of September 30, 2013. We may also indemnify our customers for tax credits and feed in tariffs associated with the systems we construct and then sell, including sale leasebacks. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we did not make any material payments under the terms of the sale agreements to indemnify our customers for shortfalls in amounts approved by the U.S. Treasury Department related to the Grant in Lieu program tax credits. Based on current information, we are unable to estimate additional exposures to the indemnification of tax credits and feed in tariffs.
In connection with certain contracts to sell solar energy systems directly or as sale-leasebacks, our SunEdison LLC subsidiary has guaranteed the systems' performance for various time periods following the date of interconnection. Also, under separate operations and maintenance services agreements, SunEdison LLC has guaranteed the uptime availability of the systems over the term of the arrangements, which may last up to 20 years. To the extent there are shortfalls in either of the guarantees, SunEdison LLC is required to indemnify the purchaser up to the guaranteed amount through a cash payment. The maximum losses that SunEdison LLC may be subject to for non-performance are contractually limited by the terms of each executed agreement.
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims, investigations and other legal matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
S.O.I.TEC Silicon on Insulator Technologies S.A. ("Soitec") v. SunEdison, Inc.
On May 19, 2008, Soitec and Commissariat A L'Energie Atomique ("CEA") filed a complaint against the company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Civil Action No. 08-292) alleging infringement, including willful infringement, by SunEdison of three U.S. patents related to silicon-on-insulator technology, and requested damages and an injunction. Soitec and CEA filed an amended complaint on July 21, 2009, adding a fourth, related patent to the lawsuit. SunEdison filed a counterclaim against Soitec for infringement of one of SunEdison's U.S. patents. The court bifurcated the case into two phases, a first liability phase, which, to the extent liability is found, will be followed by a second damages phase. In a memorandum opinion dated October 13, 2010, the court found that all of SunEdison's current products and processes do not infringe any valid claim of the four asserted Soitec patents.
The court held a jury trial from October 25, 2010 to November 2, 2010. After the court's October 13, 2010 ruling in favor of SunEdison, the only remaining claim that Soitec continued to assert at trial was a single patent claim directed against some mono-implant research and development efforts conducted by SunEdison approximately six to eight years ago, none of which have occurred since 2006, and none of which are material or relevant to the current operations at SunEdison. SunEdison continued to assert at trial its counterclaim for infringement of SunEdison's patent. On November 2, 2010, the jury found that certain of Soitec's wafers infringed the patent asserted by SunEdison at trial. The jury also found that one of the Soitec patent claims was valid. This single patent claim covers SunEdison's mono-implant research and development efforts that ended in 2006. On July 13, 2011, the court denied all post trial motions. Soitec subsequently filed an appeal and SunEdison filed a cross-appeal. The appeal is now fully briefed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal was stayed pending en banc review of a jurisdictional question unrelated to the merits of the appeal. The stay has now been lifted and the case will be
heard by the Court of Appeals later this year. The damages phase of this trial will occur, if at all, after the appeal. We believe that Soitec and CEA's suit against us has no merit, and we are asserting a vigorous defense, as well as the infringement counterclaim. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of such matters, we believe that the ultimate outcome of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Jerry Jones v. SunEdison, Inc., et al.
On December 26, 2008, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri by plaintiff, Jerry Jones, purportedly on behalf of all participants in and beneficiaries of SunEdison's 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") between September 4, 2007 and December 26, 2008, inclusive. The complaint asserted claims against SunEdison and certain of its directors, employees and/or other unnamed fiduciaries of the Plan. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached certain fiduciary duties owed under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, generally asserting that the defendants failed to make full disclosure to the Plan's participants of the risks of investing in SunEdison's stock and that the company's stock should not have been made available as an investment alternative in the Plan. The complaint also alleges that SunEdison failed to disclose certain material facts regarding SunEdison's operations and performance, which had the effect of artificially inflating SunEdison's stock price.
On June 1, 2009, an amended class action complaint was filed by Mr. Jones and another purported participant of the Plan, Manuel Acosta, which raises substantially the same claims and is based on substantially the same allegations as the original complaint. However, the amended complaint changes the period of time covered by the action, purporting to be brought on behalf of beneficiaries of and/or participants in the Plan from June 13, 2008 through the present, inclusive. The amended complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, including losses the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan allegedly experienced due to their investment through the Plan in SunEdison's stock, equitable relief and an award of attorney's fees. No class has been certified and discovery has not begun. The company and the named directors and employees filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was fully briefed by the parties as of October 9, 2009. The parties each subsequently filed notices of supplemental authority and corresponding responses. On March 17, 2010, the court denied the motion to dismiss. The SunEdison defendants filed a motion for reconsideration or, in the alternative, certification for interlocutory appeal, which was fully briefed by the parties as of June 16, 2010. The parties each subsequently filed notices of supplemental authority and corresponding responses. On October 18, 2010, the court granted the SunEdison defendants' motion for reconsideration, vacated its order denying the SunEdison defendants' motion to dismiss, and stated that it will revisit the issues raised in the motion to dismiss after the parties supplement their arguments relating thereto. Both parties filed briefs supplementing their arguments on November 1, 2010. On June 28, 2011, plaintiff Jerry Jones filed a notice of voluntary withdrawal from the action. On June 29, 2011, the Court entered an order withdrawing Jones as one of the plaintiffs in this action. The parties each have continued to file additional notices of supplemental authority and responses thereto. On September 27, 2012, the SunEdison defendants moved for oral argument on their pending motion to dismiss; plaintiff Manuel Acosta joined in the SunEdison defendants' motion for oral argument on October 9, 2012. The Court has not ruled on this motion for oral argument.
SunEdison believes the above class action is without merit, and we will assert a vigorous defense. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome or resolution of the foregoing class action proceedings or estimate the amounts of, or potential range of, loss with respect to these proceedings. An unfavorable outcome is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have indemnification agreements with each of our present and former directors and officers, under which we are generally required to indemnify each such director or officer against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and settlements, arising from actions such as the lawsuits described above (subject to certain exceptions, as described in the indemnification agreements).
Wacker Chemie AG v. SunEdison, Inc.
On December 20, 2012, Wacker Chemie AG (“Wacker”) filed a notice of arbitration with the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution (the “SCAI”) against the company, requesting the resolution of a dispute arising from two agreements and a subsequent settlement agreement entered into between Wacker and the company. Following a hearing before the Arbitral Tribunal where procedural matters were established by the SCAI pursuant to the parties’ agreement, on September 27, 2013, Wacker filed a complete statement of claim. In the statement of claim, Wacker alleges that the company failed to comply with its contractual obligations, in particular that the company failed to take or pay for certain quantities of polycrystalline silicon as required under the settlement agreement. Wacker claims a payment of 22.8 million Euro plus interest for the payment of outstanding invoices and an amount of 68.6 million Euro for damages it claims as a result of the alleged breach by the company through August 2013, and an amount of approximately 23.6 million Euro (yet to be determined) for damages it claims as a result of the alleged breach by the company for the months of September, October, November and December 2013, plus interest thereon. These amounts are included in the estimated range of reasonably possible losses as discussed above in the purchase
obligations section. The company intends to vigorously defend this action and will file, pursuant to the procedural timetable, a complete statement of defense on or before December 27, 2013.
From time to time, we may conclude it is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees, vendors and customers to settle one or more litigation matters, and any such settlement could include substantial payments; however, other than as may be noted above, we have not reached this conclusion with respect to any particular matter at this time. There are a variety of factors that influence our decision to settle any particular individual matter, and the amount we may choose to pay or accept as payment to settle such matters, including the strength of our case, developments in the litigation (both expected and unexpected), the behavior of other interested parties, including non-parties to the matter, the demand on management time and the possible distraction of our employees associated with the case and/or the possibility that we may be subject to an injunction or other equitable remedy. It is difficult to predict whether a settlement is possible, the amount of an appropriate settlement or when is the opportune time to settle a matter in light of the numerous factors that go into the settlement decision.
We are organized by end market, with two business segments: Semiconductor Materials and Solar Energy.

(16) | Proposed Initial Public Offering of Semiconductor Business |
On August 22, 2013, we announced our plan to pursue an initial public offering (the “ Semiconductor Offering”) of our semiconductor business through a newly formed company to be known as SunEdison Semiconductor, Ltd., and in connection therewith, filed a registration statement with respect to such proposed Semiconductor Offering with the SEC on September 9, 2013. We plan to sell a minority ownership interest in the semiconductor business to the public. We have deferred all incremental costs directly attributable to this offering and will charge those costs against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of SunEdison Semiconductor, Ltd.'s additional paid-in capital. Any incremental costs not directly attributable to the Semiconductor Offering will be expensed as incurred. The incremental costs are not material to our financial statements.
The completion of the proposed Semiconductor Offering is subject to market conditions and a final decision regarding the amount of interest to be sold to the public at the time of the offering will be determined by our Board of Directors at a date to be determined. Completion of the Semiconductor Offering and related items are subject to certain customary conditions, including approval by our Board of Directors of the final terms of the offering, receipt of all regulatory approvals, including the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC on September 9, 2013, including any subsequent amendments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of SunEdison, Inc. included herein.
OVERVIEW
SunEdison is a major developer and seller of photovoltaic energy solutions and a global leader in the development, manufacture and sale of silicon wafers to the semiconductor industry. We are one of the world’s leading developers of solar energy projects and, we believe, one of the most geographically diverse. Our technology leadership in silicon and downstream solar are enabling the Company to expand our customer base and lower our costs throughout the silicon supply chain.
On August 22, 2013, we announced our plan to pursue an initial public offering (the “Semiconductor Offering”) of our semiconductor business through a newly formed company to be known as SunEdison Semiconductor, Ltd., and in connection therewith, filed a registration statement with respect to such proposed Semiconductor Offering with the SEC on September 9, 2013. We plan to sell a minority ownership interest in the semiconductor business to the public. The completion of the proposed Semiconductor Offering is subject to market conditions and a final decision regarding the amount of interest to be sold to the public at the time of the offering will be determined by our Board of Directors at a date to be determined. We believe this structure will allow each independent company to pursue its own strategies, focus on its key markets and customers, optimize its capital structure and enhance its access to capital in the future.
On September 18, 2013, we completed the issuance and sale in a registered public offering (the "Offering") of 34,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a public offering price of $7.25 per share, less discounts and commissions of $0.29 per share. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $239.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related offering costs. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding working capital and growth initiatives.
During the third quarter of 2013, we continued execution of a strategic plan for the ongoing operation of our businesses designed to continue to improve our performance and address the challenges within our industries. Our business strategy is designed to address the most significant opportunities and challenges facing the company, including:
| |
• | Managing cash flow and mitigating liquidity risks, evaluating the level of committed financing prior to commencement of solar project construction and managing the timing of expenditures for the construction of solar energy systems as compared to receipts from final sale or financing; |
| |
• | Optimizing solar project pipeline development and achieving future growth in solar systems sales globally and across all platforms; and |
| |
• | Focusing on semiconductor operating cash flows and further streamlining those operations. |
Semiconductor Materials Segment
Net sales and gross margin in our Semiconductor Materials segment decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to average selling price declines offset in large part by higher volume. Market conditions remain challenging and as a result margins were negatively impacted by pricing pressures. This is a result of the competitive landscape and overcapacity in the industry. Since the third quarter of 2012, we have been realizing the benefits of our improved productivity through the ramp up of our Ipoh, Malaysia facility and the 2011 Global Plan, which has partially offset the effects of declines in average selling prices. We generated positive cash flows for the third quarter of 2013.
Solar Energy Segment
During the three month period ended September 30, 2013, revenues were recognized for direct sales of solar energy systems on 16 projects totaling 42.0 megawatts ("MW"). We currently have 558 MW of solar projects under construction compared to 73.0 MW as of December 31, 2012. While a large portion of our projects currently under construction are predominately in North America, our geographic mix has changed over the last year with a larger portion of MW under construction in South Africa, the UK, South America and Asia. We continue to evaluate project development opportunities globally. We have project pipeline of approximately 3.1 gigawatts ("GW") as of September 30, 2013, representing a 0.5 GW increase from the 2.6 GW of project pipeline as of December 31, 2012.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales by segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Semiconductor Materials Segment Net Sales
The decrease in Semiconductor Materials net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to average selling price decreases of $21.0 million and a less favorable product mix of $1.0 million due to a higher percentage of polished wafer sales, offset in large part by volume increases of $12.4 million. Average selling price decreases occurred primarily in our 300mm and 200mm semiconductor wafers due to a competitive market environment, overcapacity and weakening of the Japanese Yen. As a result of the weakness of the Japanese Yen, overall industry prices decreased because wafers manufactured by Japanese suppliers became less expensive in markets outside of Japan. The average selling prices of our wafers for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately 8.8% lower than the average selling prices for the same period in 2012. Unit volume increased across all wafer diameters as a result of increased sales to certain existing customers and improved market demand.
Net sales increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to volume increases of $71.0 million, offset in large part by average selling price decreases of $57.7 million and a less favorable product mix of $2.8 million due to a higher percentage of polished wafer sales. Unit volume increased across all wafer diameters as a result of increased sales to certain existing customers and improved market demand. Average selling price decreases occurred primarily in our 300mm semiconductor wafers due to a competitive market environment, overcapacity and weakening of the Japanese Yen. As a result of the weakness of the Japanese Yen, overall industry prices decreased because wafers manufactured by Japanese suppliers became less expensive in markets outside of Japan. The average selling prices of our wafers for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were approximately 7.9% lower than the average selling prices for the same period in 2012.
Solar Energy Segment Net Sales
Solar energy system sales totaled 42.0 MW for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 48.4 MW for the same period in 2012 while average selling prices decreased slightly and project mix has remained relatively consistent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from the Solar Energy segment was lower when compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the decline and change in mix of solar energy system sales. Solar energy system sales totaled 98.4 MW for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 239.8 MW during the same period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, almost all of the solar energy project revenue was related to revenue from the sale of fully developed solar energy systems, whereas for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 36.6 MW of the 98.4 MW were related to engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") solar energy system revenue. EPC solar system project sales per watt are generally lower than fully developed solar system project sales per watt because we are not directly involved in every phase of the solar energy system design, financing and development. This change in mix resulted in an average selling price decrease of approximately $0.91 per watt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the the same period in 2012. The change in mix is a direct result of our decision to slow solar project development spending during the first half of 2012 to optimize liquidity. During the current year, we have increased our development spend to take advantages of market opportunities. As a result, our solar energy systems under construction increased 485 MW from December 31, 2012. We currently have 558 MW of solar projects under construction compared to 73 MW as of December 31, 2012.
Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 also included revenues of $34.2 million and $97.9 million, respectively, from energy production for all solar energy projects as compared to $36.7 million and $99.0 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Revenue from energy production, excluding expiring governmental subsidies, is expected to increase in the future as we execute more financing sale-leaseback transactions.
Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 include $22.0 million related to revenue recognized as part of the termination of the long-term solar wafer supply contract with Gintech (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 also include $25.0 million related to revenue recognized as part of the amendment of the long-term solar wafer supply contract with Tainergy (see Note 13 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements). Net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 include $37.1 million related to revenue recognized as part of the termination of the long-term solar wafer supply contract with Conergy (see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Solar Energy segment net sales do not include financing sale-leasebacks with executed contract sales values of $63.9 million and $112.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, because these transactions resulted in the retention of assets on our balance sheet along with the related non-recourse debt. Sales contract values of financing sale-leasebacks were $93.0 million and $173.9 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. See "Revenue Recognition" contained in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," within our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cost of goods sold, gross profit and gross margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
|

Gross Margin Percentage | 9.9 | % | | 14.4 | % | | 11.0 | % | | 11.8 | % |
The Semiconductor Materials segment gross margin decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to lower average selling prices for our wafers, offset partially by improved operational efficiencies and continued focus on manufacturing cost reductions.
The Semiconductor Materials segment gross margin increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to reduced unit costs on higher sales volume, improved operational efficiencies and continued focus on manufacturing cost reductions, offset partially by lower average selling prices for our wafers.
The Solar Energy segment gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was relatively consistent with the gross margin for the same period in 2012. In comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Solar Energy segment gross margin for the same period in 2013 was negatively impacted by lower sales of fully developed solar energy systems. Offsetting the declines in the Solar Energy segment's gross margins in 2013 were the $25.0 million of revenue recognized on the Tainergy contract amendment during the first quarter, $22.0 million of revenue recognized related to a contract termination with Gintech during the third quarter, as well as $13.8 million and $33.8 million of revenue recognized from profit deferrals for power guarantees that expired during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, revenue recognized from profit deferrals for power guarantees that expired was $3.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Solar Energy segment gross margins in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were also positively impacted by $37.1 million of revenue recognized as the result of the contract termination with Conergy.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we received cash in excess of our system construction costs of $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for our executed sale-leasebacks, the margin for which will be recognized at the end of the leases. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we received cash in excess of our system construction costs of $14.8 million and $23.9 million, respectively, for our executed sale-leasebacks, the margin for which will be recognized at the end of the leases.
Marketing and administration costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
As a Percentage of Net Sales | 14.9 | % | | 11.5 | % | | 16.5 | % | | 12.2 | % |
The increase in marketing and administration expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 relative to the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was attributable to increases in staffing, certain expenses and non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the Offering and preparation for the Semiconductor Offering and additional stock-based compensation expense as a result of our annual incentive stock awards granted during the current quarter.
Research and development ("R&D") costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

The $5.6 million of income recognized in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 is primarily the result of a reversal of liabilities related to the costs associated with the Merano, Italy polysilicon and other semiconductor facilities due to settlements of certain obligations and changes in estimates. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recorded restructuring and impairment income of $58.3 million and $53.0 million, respectively, which was primarily a result of our executed settlement agreements with Evonik to settle disputes arising from our early termination of two take-or-pay supply agreements (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) offset by prior year impairments. As part of this settlement, a favorable adjustment to our 2011 Global Plan restructuring accrual was made resulting in $69.2 million of income within restructuring and impairment (reversals) charges on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The settlement income was partially offset by an impairment of tangible assets of $14.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, on solar wafering assets during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.
Operating income (loss) by segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we had an operating loss of $49.1 million and $129.2 million, respectively, as compared to income of $58.9 million and an operating loss of $10.6 million, respectively, in the comparable periods in 2012. The change in operating income (loss) was the net result of the changes in gross profit dollars and operating costs discussed above and as further described below.
Semiconductor Materials Segment
Semiconductor Materials operating income of $8.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to an operating loss of $0.8 million for the same period in 2013 primarily due to decreases in average selling prices and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by higher volumes. The increase in operating income to $4.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from an operating loss of $8.1 million for the same period in 2012 was primarily due to higher volumes in a strengthening market, better efficiencies and continued cost reduction focus, which were partially offset by lower average selling prices.
Solar Energy Segment
The increase in the Solar Energy segment operating loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to the lower solar energy system revenues and average selling price per watt, as discussed previously. These amounts were partially offset in 2013 by the $25.0 million of revenue recognized on the Tainergy contract amendment during the first quarter, $22.0 million of revenue recognized related to a contract termination with Gintech during the third quarter, as well as $13.8 million and $33.8 million of revenue recognized from profit deferrals for power guarantees that expired during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, revenue recognized from profit deferrals for power guarantees that expired was $3.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Also included for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 is $37.1 million of revenue related to a termination agreement with Conergy, $69.2 million of income within restructuring and impairment related to the settlement of Evonik, offset by an impairment of tangible assets of $17.3 million on solar wafering assets.
The Solar Energy segment's operating results are highly dependent upon the timing of system sales and revenue recognition requirements related to the terms of sales agreements and type of project finance method utilized, as well as completed and uncompleted projects. Revenue and income recognition in any given period may differ due to the timing of installations, related expenditures, system warranty and indemnity provisions and the type of financing obtained.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other expenses are comprised of substantially all of our stock-based compensation expense, general corporate marketing and administration costs, research and development administration costs, legal, auditing and tax professional services and related costs, salary and other personnel costs and other items not reflected in the segments.
Corporate and other expenses increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year was attributable to increases in staffing, certain expenses and non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the Offering and preparation for the Semiconductor Offering and additional stock-based compensation expense as a result of our annual incentive stock awards granted during the current quarter.
Non-operating expense (income) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

We incurred interest expense of $10.7 million and $32.0 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $10.7 million and $31.9 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, related to our 2019 Notes issued on March 10, 2011. Further, we incurred interest expense of $5.4 million and $16.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, related to the Term Loan entered into on September 28, 2012, which did not exist in the third quarter of 2012. See Liquidity and Capital Resources.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, we recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred debt issuance fees, accretion of contingent consideration and letter of credit and commitment fees of $23.5 million and $78.5 million, respectively, related to our solar energy business, net of capitalized interest of $3.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred debt issuance fees, accretion of contingent consideration, and letter of credit and commitment fees of
$15.0 million and $62.0 million, respectively, related to solar energy systems, net of capitalized interest of $3.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The interest expense related to solar energy systems for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 also includes $7.4 million of deferred financing fees that were charged to interest expense when previously issued solar energy system debt was transferred to the buyer upon sale of the system.
Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Income Tax Rate as a % of Loss before Income Taxes | (17.3 | )% | | (9.6 | )% | | (19.1 | )% | | (25.8 | )% |
The income tax expense in 2013 was primarily attributable to the worldwide operational earnings mix at various rates and an increase in tax expense of $9.6 million related to the settlement of the IRS examination for the 2007 through 2010 years. The income tax expense in 2012 was primarily attributable to the recognition of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the prior year and taxable income in lower rate jurisdictions.
Included in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 is $6.1 million tax expense for adjustments to deferred taxes. These adjustments were out of period because they related to our 2011 consolidated financial statements but were not considered material to our consolidated results of operations in 2011.
Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2013, the increase in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is mainly due to the results of operations for several consolidated solar energy system projects.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and cash equivalents increased $67.7 million from $572.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $640.3 million at September 30, 2013. See additional discussion in Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
Our short-term restricted cash totaled $117.1 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $72.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase of $44.7 million primarily relates to restricted cash held by a new variable interest entity consolidated during the third quarter of 2013.
Net accounts receivable of $220.4 million at December 31, 2012 increased $114.9 million to $335.3 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to sales mix and the timing of collections from customers.
Our inventories decreased $40.0 million to $207.8 million at September 30, 2013 from $247.8 million at December 31, 2012. Inventories primarily decreased as a result of lower polysilicon inventory on hand due to the lower use of modules in the construction of solar energy systems during the first nine months of 2013.
Solar energy systems held for sale and development of $133.8 million at December 31, 2012 increased $222.9 million to $356.7 million as of September 30, 2013. The increase primarily relates to the increase in development activity in the U.S., Malaysia and South Africa during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. This increase in development spend is a direct result of our decision to slow solar project development spending during the first half of 2012 to optimize liquidity. During the current year, we have increased our development spend to take advantages of market opportunities as our liquidity has improved.
Prepaid and other current assets increased $33.7 million from $212.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $246.1 million at September 30, 2013 was primarily due to increases in VAT receivables and other prepaids due to timing of payments.
Solar energy system property, plant and equipment increased $425.0 million from $1,459.9 million at December 31, 2012 to $1,884.9 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to capital expenditures for solar energy projects in South Africa, Malaysia and Chile, as well as systems related to a new variable interest entity consolidated during the third quarter of 2013.
Short term solar energy system financing of $97.8 million at December 31, 2012 increased $163.8 million to $261.6 million at September 30, 2013 due to the increase in development activity in the U.S., Malaysia and South Africa.
Accounts payable increased $190.5 million to $667.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $477.0 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase relates primarily to the timing of payments to vendors and the increase of solar energy systems under development.
Long-term solar energy system financing and capital lease obligations, less current portion, increased $572.5 million from $1,508.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $2,080.9 million at September 30, 2013. The increase is primarily related to the debt financing agreement signed during the third quarter of 2013 as part of the solar energy project plant in Chile and other debt financing assumed related to a new consolidated variable interest entity.
Short-term and long-term solar energy system deferred revenues of $259.1 million at December 31, 2012 decreased $37.2 million to $221.9 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease primarily relates to the recognition of deferred profits in 2013 from direct sales of solar energy systems in previous periods.
Non-solar energy system deferred revenue decreased $25.7 million from $29.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $3.5 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease primarily relates to the recognition of the unamortized non-refundable deposit with Gintech as part of the settlement reached in the third quarter of 2013. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Short-term and long-term customer deposits of $261.7 million at December 31, 2012 decreased $61.5 million to $200.2 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease primarily stems from our Singapore operations and was due to milestone billings and the $25.0 million deposit release pertaining to the first quarter contract amendment with Tainergy, offset by increases in Samsung deposits.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had net loss attributable to SunEdison stockholders of $108.0 million and $300.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. We used $307.6 million of cash for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which included outflows related to the cost to construct solar energy systems held for sale and development and return payments on customer deposits coupled with an increase in accounts receivable.
Challenging solar industry conditions have negatively impacted our results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the future. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course, as well as continued compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in our existing credit facilities and other financing arrangements.
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 totaled $640.3 million, compared to $572.6 million at December 31, 2012. Of the cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013, approximately $396.8 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which may be subject to repatriation tax effects. We believe that any repatriation tax effects would have minimal impacts on future cash flows.
On September 18, 2013, we completed the issuance and sale in a registered public offering (the "Offering") of 34,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a public offering price of $7.25 per share, less discounts and commissions of $0.29 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $239.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related offering costs. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding working capital and growth initiatives.
The primary items impacting our liquidity in the future are cash from operations, including working capital effects from the sale of solar energy systems and reduction of current inventory levels, capital expenditures, borrowings and payments under our credit facilities and other financing arrangements, the monetization of our pipeline and the availability of project finance and/or project equity at acceptable terms. We believe our liquidity will be sufficient to support our operations for the next twelve months, although no assurances can be made if significant adverse events occur, or if we are unable to access project capital needed to execute our business plan.
In addition to our need to maintain sufficient liquidity from cash flow from our operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, we will need to raise additional funds in the future in order to meet the operating and capital needs of our solar energy systems development business. These funds are expected to be in the form of non-recourse project finance capital or outright sale of solar energy systems to investors. However, there can be no assurances that such project financing or equity will be available to us, or available to us on terms and conditions we find acceptable. We may not be able to sell solar projects or secure adequate debt financing or equity funding for such projects on favorable terms, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. We expect to obtain additional funding through the proposed initial public offering of our semiconductor business that we announced on August 22, 2013 in which we will sell a minority ownership interest in the semiconductor business to the public. A final decision regarding the amount of interest to be sold to the public at the time of the offering will be determined by our Board of Directors at a date to be determined. The completion of the proposed initial public offering, however, is subject to market conditions and, as a result, there can be no assurances that such proposed initial public offering will be completed, or completed on terms and conditions we find acceptable. If these or other sources of funding are not available, this may have a significant negative impact on our ability to execute our business plan and on our overall operations, operational results and cash flows.
The rate of growth of the Solar Energy segment is limited by capital access. During the construction phase of solar energy systems, SunEdison provides short-term working capital support to a project company or may obtain third party non-recourse development and construction financing to fund engineering, procurement and installation costs. Once complete, SunEdison either directly sells the project to a third party or obtains more permanent capital on behalf of the project company through sale-leaseback, debt or other financing structures that will typically be secured by the energy producing assets and projected cash flows from energy sales.
We expect cash on hand, 2013 operating cash flows, project finance debt, the Credit Facility, Term Loan and project finance construction revolver to provide sufficient capital to support the construction phase of our currently planned projects for 2013 and otherwise meet our capital needs for the remainder of 2013. However, we will continue to need to raise additional long-term project financing, either in the form of project debt or equity, or both. SunEdison expects its ongoing efforts to secure
project capital, including sources of non-recourse project capital, to generate sufficient resources to support growth. We anticipate incremental capital needs for the remainder of 2013 associated with project finance markets to range from $350.0 million to $600.0 million depending on the amount of megawatts ultimately installed and interconnected in 2013. There can be no assurances that such financing will be available to us or at terms that we find acceptable. In the event that we are unable to raise additional funds, our liquidity will be adversely impacted, we may not be able to maintain compliance with our existing debt covenants and our business will suffer. If we are able to secure additional financing, these funds could be costly to secure and maintain and could impact our earnings and our liquidity.
We have discretion in how we use our cash to fund capital expenditures, to develop solar energy systems and for other costs of our business. We evaluate capital projects and the development of solar energy systems based on their expected strategic impacts and our expected return on investment. We may use this discretion to decrease our capital expenditures and development of solar energy systems, which may impact our operating results and cash flows for future years. For example, we may defer construction of solar energy systems and look for opportunities to partner with outside investors to finance the development of projects. If we delay the construction of solar energy systems or are unable to sell solar energy systems held for development and sale, our operating results and cash flows will be adversely impacted.
Among our principal sources of cash during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $626.4 million from the sale-leaseback of solar energy systems. Another primary source of cash during the same period was $239.6 million from the Offering discussed above. Uses of cash during the same period were as follows:
| |
• | $307.6 million for operations; |
| |
• | $101.2 million in capital expenditures, primarily in our Semiconductor Materials segment; |
| |
• | $261.3 million invested in construction of solar energy systems that will remain on our balance sheet; and |
| |
• | $64.4 million repayments of solar energy system financing and capital lease obligations. |
During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $307.6 million and $283.4 million, respectively, of cash was used for operating activities. The cash use during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was primarily a result of the cost to construct solar energy systems held for sale and development, the return payments on customer deposits, coupled with an increase in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities increased to $359.3 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to $322.3 million used in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, due to increased spending on non solar and solar energy system property, plant and equipment, offset by an increase in net proceeds received from our joint venture with Samsung Fine Chemicals Co. Ltd.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $746.6 million, compared to $630.0 million of cash provided by financing activities in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase was mainly due to $536.3 million in net proceeds from solar energy systems financing received during the nine month period of 2012 as compared to $562.0 million net proceeds from solar energy systems financing received during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. Further, we completed the Offering during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, which raised net cash proceeds of $239.6 million.
Borrowings
Senior Notes
On March 10, 2011, we issued $550.0 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due April 1, 2019 (the "2019 Notes"). We incurred $13.8 million in debt issuance costs, which is amortized into the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the eight year term. The 2019 Notes were sold at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by certain of SunEdison's domestic subsidiaries (the "guarantors"). The 2019 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future secured debt.
The indenture governing the 2019 Notes contains covenants that limit our and certain subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, (i) to make certain asset sales, (ii) to make certain restricted payments and investments, (iii) to incur indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (iv) to declare dividends, (v) to make other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries, (vi) to engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and (vii) to merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations, and in certain situations, a cross default provision. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. In
addition, the indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among other things: failure to make payments on the 2019 Notes when due, failure to comply with covenants under the indenture, failure to pay other indebtedness or acceleration of maturity of other indebtedness, failure to satisfy or discharge final judgments and occurrence of bankruptcy events.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our corporate revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. is an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Credit Facility").
The Credit Facility has a term of three years and expires in March 2014. Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of SunEdison. Our obligations and the guaranty obligations of the subsidiaries are secured by liens on and security interests in substantially all present and future assets of SunEdison and the subsidiary guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock of certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries of SunEdison.
We have amended the Credit Facility from time to time to adjust various covenants to accommodate changes in our business results. Currently, our consolidated leverage ratio covenant under the Credit Facility is 2.5 to 1.0, and our minimum liquidity covenant under this facility requires a variable minimum liquidity amount based on our trailing twelve month consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Our minimum liquidity covenant amount under the Credit Facility is $500 million in the event our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is less than $400 million. In the event the trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $400 million and less than $600 million, our minimum liquidity amount will be $400 million. In the event it is greater than or equal to $600 million and less than $850 million, our minimum liquidity will be $300 million. Finally, if our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $850 million, then no minimum liquidity amount is required.
The Credit Facility contains representations, covenants and events of default typical for credit arrangements of comparable size, including maintaining a consolidated leverage ratio and the variable minimum liquidity amount discussed above. The Credit Facility also contains a customary material adverse effects clause and a cross default clause. The cross default clause is applicable to defaults on other indebtedness in excess of $35 million, excluding our non-recourse indebtedness. Our liquidity position was in excess of the minimum liquidity amount by $410.6 million and our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.7 at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.
Interest under the Credit Facility will accrue, depending on the type of borrowing, at the base rate (in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans) or the eurocurrency rate (in the case of eurocurrency rate loans), plus, in each case, an applicable rate that varies from (currently 3.75%) for the eurocurrency rate to (currently 2.75%) for the base rate, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, although we had approximately $229.7 million and $121.8 million, respectively, of outstanding third party letters of credit backed by the Credit Facility at such dates, which reduces the available capacity. Therefore, funds available under the Credit Facility were $170.3 million and $278.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Second Lien Term Loan
On September 28, 2012, we entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement ("Term Loan") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. providing for a term loan maturing on October 2, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, with a 2.0% discount to par for proceeds of $196.0 million. Additionally, we incurred $10.8 million in debt issuance costs, which is amortized into the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the five-year term. Interest under the Term Loan will accrue, depending on the type of borrowing, at the base rate or the eurocurrency rate, with a floor of 1.50%, plus an applicable rate equal to 9.25% for the eurocurrency rate and 8.25% for the base rate. Interest is due and payable in arrears at the end of each interest period, no less than quarterly, and on the maturity date. As of September 30, 2013, the current interest rate on the Term Loan is 10.75%. On January 15, 2013, we entered into an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $200.0 million, a cap rate of 1.50%, an effective date of March 28, 2013 and a maturity date of September 30, 2015. The interest rate cap hedges the 3-month LIBOR variable rate maintained within the Term Loan, described in Note 6.
The obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries pursuant to a guaranty agreement executed by each such subsidiary. Our obligations and the guaranty obligations of the subsidiaries are secured by second priority liens on and security interests in substantially all of our present and future assets and the assets of the subsidiary guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock of domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
Similar to the Credit Facility discussed above, the Term Loan contains affirmative and negative covenants. These include but are not limited to limiting the company's and certain of our subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, (i) to create, incur, assume or suffer any liens on assets or revenues, (ii) to make other restricted payments and investments, (iii) to incur indebtedness, (iv) to enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) to merge, consolidate or sell/dispose of assets, (vi) to enter into burdensome agreements, (vii) to engage in any material line of business different from current lines, or (viii) to prepay indebtedness or amend indebtedness that adversely affects the Term Loan lenders. These covenants are subject to a number of qualifications and limitations.
Additionally, the Term Loan has financial covenants requiring a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and minimum liquidity levels depending on our trailing twelve-month EBITDA and also includes a cross default clause. Our minimum liquidity covenant amount will be $400 million in the event our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is less than $400 million. In the event the trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $400 million and less than $600 million, our minimum liquidity amount will be $300 million. In the event it is greater than or equal to $600 million and less than $850 million, our minimum liquidity will be $200 million. Finally, if our trailing twelve month consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal to $850 million, then no minimum liquidity amount is required. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan.
Short-term Debt
We have a borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under the current terms of the SunEdison non-recourse project construction revolver. This revolver contains certain covenants that provide if our Corporate Family or Corporate Credit Rating for Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") falls below "B1" or our Standard & Poor's ("S&P") rating falls below "B+", we will be required to post, at our election, a letter of credit or surety bond equal to 15.0% of the total outstanding balance in order to be able to continue to make additional borrowings under this facility. As of September 30, 2013, our ratings were "B3" and "B+" for Moody's and S&P, respectively. Because our Corporate Family Rating for Moody's was below "B1", a letter of credit equal to 15.0% of the $47.5 million outstanding balances was posted as of September 30, 2013.
Interest on borrowings under the agreement will be based, on our election, at LIBOR plus an applicable margin (currently 3.50%) or at a defined prime rate plus an applicable margin (currently 2.50%). The construction financing revolver also requires SunEdison to pay various fees, including a commitment fee (currently 1.10%). The construction financing revolver will be used to support the construction costs of utility and rooftop solar energy systems throughout the U.S. and Canada. The construction loans are non-recourse debt to entities outside of the project company legal entities that subscribe to the debt and are secured by a pledge of the collateral, including the project contracts and equipment. This revolver also maintains a customary material adverse effects clause whereby a breach may disallow a future draw but not acceleration of payment. This revolver also includes a cross default clause whose remedy, among other rights, includes the right to restrict future loans as well as the right to accelerate principal and interest payments. Because this is non-recourse financing, covenants relate specifically to the collateral amounts and transfer of right restrictions.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $47.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, outstanding on this revolver.
In the event additional construction debt is needed, we have the ability to draw upon the available capacity of our Credit Facility (discussed above). In the event we do not have adequate net working capital, such inability to fund future projects may have an adverse impact on our business growth plans, financial position and results of operations.
At September 30, 2013, we had $640.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $3,118.3 million of debt outstanding, of which the majority is long-term, and availability to borrow up to an additional $170.3 million under our Credit Facility, subject to certain provisions and compliance with covenant requirements. Of this total debt outstanding, $2,294.5 million relates to project specific non-recourse financing that is backed by solar energy system operating assets. The breach of any of the Credit Facility provisions or covenants could result in a default under the Credit Facility and could trigger acceleration of repayment, and a cross default on our 2019 Notes and Term Loan, which could have a significant adverse effect on our liquidity and our business. Our Credit Facility expires in March 2014. We expect to refinance this facility prior to the expiration date. However, there can be no assurances that the refinancing will be completed or completed on terms that we find acceptable, which could have a significant adverse effect on our liquidity and our business. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants. While we expect to comply with the provisions and covenants of the Credit Facility, the Indenture governing the 2019 Notes and the Term Loan through 2013, deterioration in the worldwide economy and our operational results, including the completion of the construction and sale of solar energy systems, could cause us to not be in compliance. While we would
attempt to obtain waivers for noncompliance, we may not be able to obtain waivers, which could have a significant adverse effect on our liquidity and our business.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates of certain amounts included in the financial statements. Application of these accounting policies and estimates, however, involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In arriving at our critical accounting estimates, factors we consider include how accurate the estimate or assumptions have been in the past, how much the estimate or assumptions have changed and how reasonably likely such change may have a material impact. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Item 7 and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Exhibit 13 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2012.
