“Every American community, especially those that face disproportionately higher energy burdens, deserves the economic and health benefits that come with increased access to affordable Clean Energy.” Those were the words of U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm this summer, as the Biden-Harris administration launched new %SolarInitiatives to lower electricity bills and create jobs.
President Biden has made it clear that he wants to cement his legacy as a steward of %CleanEnergy, which bodes well for the future of companies from blue chips like %FirstSolar ($FSLR), %BloomEnergy ($BE), %PlugPower ($PLUG), %Sunnova ($NOVA) to upstarts like %SolarIntegratedRoofing ($SIRC), a company experiencing tremendous growth in this favorable regulatory climate.
The timing to switch to solar couldn’t be better for those that can move quickly, as the Energy Information Administration estimates household spending is going to rise this winter. The EIA forecasts natural gas (28%), heating oil (27%), electricity (10%), and propane (5%) will all be an extra strain on homeowner’s wallets already hurting from broad-sweeping inflation.
Much like gas prices skyrocketing incentivized consumers to look at %ElectricVehicles (EVs), energy prices climbing is putting a spotlight on solar panels, encouraging people to take control of the electric bills while protecting against power outages. Plus, for those using EVs, the cost to charge it via the grid disappears with clean energy from the sun.
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the market is strong and getting stronger. SEIA reported that solar accounted for 39% of all new electricity-generating capacity in the U.S. during the first six months of 2022. With 4.6 gigawatts installed during Q2, U.S. photovoltaic (PV) capacity reached 130.9 GWdc, enough to power 23 million homes. Residential solar had its fifth straight record quarter, with 1.36 GWdc installed during the April-June period.
Solar is a global phenomenon gaining momentum. Precedence Research forecasts 16.7% compound annual growth for the global solar PV market to climb from $99.5 billion in 2021 to $398.3 billion by 2030.
It’s a blue-sky opportunity for Solar Integrated Roofing Corp., whose growth seems only contained by available resources, certainly not for lack of customers knocking on their doors. SIRC is an integrated, single-source solar power, renewable energy, roofing systems installation and EV charging company specializing in commercial and residential properties throughout the U.S. The Henderson, Nevada-based company’s broad array of solutions include sales and installation of solar energy systems, battery backup and EV charging stations, micro-grids and roofing. SIRC can be broken down into 5 primary verticals:
– Roofing (Residential & Commercial) contracting
– Residential solar
– Battery backup and EV charging
– Commercial solar and micro-grids
– Project financing and related services
Management of each SIRC division is conducted by a senior management team with a cumulative 60 years’ experience in the alternative energy space. Further, each division is managed by an industry expert in that specific market with extensive division-based experience.
Investor Highlights for Solar Integrated Roofing Corp.:
– Massive Industry Growth. Precedence Research forecasts 16.7% compound annual growth for the global solar PV market to climb from $99.5 billion in 2021 to $398.3 billion by 2030
– Beneficiary Of Recent Infrastructure Bill. A SIRC subsidiary was one of only 16 companies nationally awarded with a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement from the General Services Administration (GSA) as part of the $5 billion in federal funds allocated to EV charging installations in the Biden Infrastructure Bill
– Growth Via Aggressive M&A Strategy. In a span of about 4-1/2 months early in 2021, SIRC bought Enerev, Cornerstone Construction Team, Pacific Lighting Management, Balance Authority, Kinetic Investments (dba Future Home Power), USA Solar Networks, and Renovation Roofing.
– Uplist To Nasdaq. Last month, management filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, a requisite document in the process to become fully reporting as it charts a course towards an uplist to the NASDAQ exchange in the future.
– Multi-State Presence With International Aspirations. In 2021, the company did business in 34 states, while sourcing, onboarding, and training 250 sales organizations selling its products to secure future domestic growth, with international expansion in its sights.
– Impressive Revenue Growth. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, SIRC reported revenue growth of 746% to $66.3 million, as compared $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $18.9 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2021.
– Miniscule P/E Ratio At Current Share Price. The Company earned 5 cents per share in profits during the first six months of 2022. If nothing changes in the second half of the year, which seems highly unlikely given management’s comments, earnings extrapolate to $49.12 million, or 10 cents per share, for the year. Shares of SIRC were trading at 16 cents last week. Using the common Wall Street price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, that’s a paltry 1.6:1, an unheard-of low valuation.
SIRC is opportunistic in making accretiveacquisitions to fuel growth. After a buying spree during 2020 and 2021 whenmany companies struggled through the COVID-19 pandemic, SIRC’s portfolio nowincludes Enerev Solar, Future Home Power, Montross Companies, SunPower byMilholland Electric, USA Solar Networks, SunUp Solar, PLEMCo, Balance, McKayRoofing Co., Secure Roofing and Solar, and Approved Home Pros.
The company’s efficient back office, robust sales engine and national presence provides a strong platform for M&A activity, rolling up family-owned regional businesses at highly attractive multiples. As an example, in a span of about 4-1/2 months early in 2021, SIRC bought Enerev, Cornerstone Construction Team, Pacific Lighting Management, Balance Authority, Kinetic Investments (dba Future Home Power), USA Solar Networks, and Renovation Roofing.
The result is best described as a snowball effect to barrel through a highly fragmented market with few leaders. With sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain fully integrated (more on that below) and designed to simplify go-to-market, lower costs, increase margins, and provide pricing power, SIRC is an attractive suitor for small companies to realize upside that would otherwise be unobtainable without being acquired and taking an ownership position in SIRC.
In other areas, namely charging stations, SIRC doesn’t face a great deal of competition. For instance, a SIRC subsidiary was one of only 16 companies nationally awarded with a 5-year Blanket Purchase Agreement from the General Services Administration (GSA) as part of the $5 billion in federal funds allocated to EV charging installations in the Biden Infrastructure Bill.
Moreover, the full array of offerings is attractive to partners. In August, SIRC partnered with Associated Energy Developers, LLC (AED), a full-service commercial and industrial solar, battery storage, wind, hydrogen and microgrid design, development and management company, to assist with the development and financing of turnkey alternative energy systems.
SIRC is an anomaly as a pink sheet-listed company: profitable, spectacular revenue growth, major customers, and more set this company head and shoulders above its marketplace peers. Apropos, the company won’t be on the pinks much longer. Last month, management filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, a requisite document in the process to become fully reporting as it charts a course towards an uplist to the NASDAQ exchange in the future.
Once operating a single roofing company in California, SIRC has grown horizontally and vertically in recent years. In 2021, the company did business in 34 states, while sourcing, onboarding, and training 250 sales organizations selling its products to secure future domestic growth, with international expansion in its sights.
Financing has long been a substantial challenge within the solar industry. SIRC saw the challenge as an opportunity. In July, SIRC introduced an innovative new solar financing product to non-profit entities. The low income, no credit score solar financing product – funded through a joint venture with Renewable Energy Products Manufacturing (REPM) – unlocks new commercial scale solar opportunities for SIRC in a sector with minimal competition due to historical financing difficulties.
The genius of the program is its simplicity. The financing product, exclusively available to non-profits through installers within the SIRC family of companies, only requires an organization to prove that their utility bill is in a current status. REPM retains ownership and offers financing for the system through its fund, allowing the SIRC family of companies to remain focused on the efficient sale and installation of commercial scale solar projects.
This ground-breaking financing program expanded into the residential sector in August, and now allows SIRC to offer the same low income, no credit score finance product to homeowners in 17 states across the country. This will serve as yet another vehicle to spur SIRC’s impressive growth pattern throughout the rest of 2022 and into 2023.
All that sounds great, but investors want to know how it all translates to the top and bottom lines. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, SIRC reported revenue growth of 746% to $66.3 million, as compared $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $18.9 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2021.
The growth doesn’t reflect the fact that some of the latest developments of SIRC – including the blanket purchase agreement from GSA, launch of new financing program, and partnership with AED – took place during or after the quarter’s end. The full effect will be realized in later quarters.
“The second quarter of 2022 was marked by a strong cadence of continued execution – highlighted not only by record revenue and profitability, but the introduction of new partners and innovative financing products,” said David Massey, Chief Executive Officer of SIRC. “Our robust revenue growth has the potential to be much greater, constrained only by capital. Our recent successes have positioned us to achieve at least $225 million in revenue this year alone – with significant additional backlog and potential to expand beyond that figure – representing incredible momentum and laying the foundation for profitability with minimized dilution for years to come.”
During the first half of 2022, SIRC logged $93.27 million in revenue, up 714.6% from $11.45 million in the same period a year earlier, according to corporate filings. Net income for H1 was $24.56 million, reversing a net loss of ($5.66 million) in H1 2021.
That is 5 cents per share in profits during the first six months of 2022. If nothing changes in the second half of the year, which seems highly unlikely given management’s comments, earnings extrapolate to $49.12 million, or 10 cents per share, for the year. Shares of SIRC were trading at 16 cents last week. Using the common Wall Street price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, that’s a paltry 1.6:1, an unheard-of low valuation.
Compare that to FSLR at 66:1. We can’t compare it to BE, PLUG, or NOVA because a company must be profitable over the trailing 12 months to calculate a P/E ratio and none of those companies qualify. Even if SIRC were to climb back to 61 cents where it was August 9, that’s still a 6.1:1 PE ratio that is highly attractive compared to its larger peers.
Massey said that he believes graduating to the NASDAQ will attract additional investors; hard to argue with him.
