Sweden's Gigasun Q2 revenue falls 14% on weak solar output


Overview

  • Sweden solar PV operator's Q2 revenue fell 14% yr/yr amid weak solar irradiation and tariff cuts

  • Company posted Q2 net loss, impacted by currency effects and higher operating expenses

  • Average interest rate declined to 4.77% from 5.72% due to refinancing


Outlook

  • Gigasun expects average interest rates to continue declining due to ongoing refinancing

  • Company targets 1,000 MW installed capacity in the medium term


Result Drivers

  • LOWER ELECTRICITY TARIFFS - Adjusted tariffs in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces negatively impacted revenue by about SEK 7.0 mln, per company

  • CURRENCY EFFECTS - Weaker currency and higher share of direct-to-net sales contributed to lower revenues, company said
