Q1 Results: Nextracker Reports 50% Revenue Growth YoY

Global solar tracker company Nextracker announced its financial results for Q1 of the fiscal year 2024-25. The company reported a 50% increase in revenues on a year-over-year (YoY) basis.

For FY25, Nextracker provided its full-year outlook, in which it made a revenue between $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion. The company also gained a GAAP net income, which is the net income (or loss) of the Property-Owning Partnerships ranging from $363 million to $393 million. Additionally, Nextracker also made a GAAP diluted EPS between $2.37 and $2.57 in the financial year 2025 (FY25) outlook. GAAP is the diluted net income per share of the company’s common stock. It’s determined on the GAAP basis plus the effect of restructuring and other charges as of Year-end for each Plan Year. Nextracker also made an adjusted EBITDA between $600 million and $650 million, while adjusted diluted EPS reached between $2.89 and $3.09.

The revised GAAP net income range of $363 million to $393 million reflects a decrease from the previous range of $369 million to $399 million, due to the estimated impact of incremental net intangible asset amortization resulting from acquisitions. Similarly, the GAAP diluted EPS range of $2.37 to $2.57 has been adjusted from the previous range of $2.41 to $2.61 for the same reason. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS exclude approximately $103 million and $0.52, respectively, for stock-based compensation and net intangible amortization.
