AUSTIN, Texas and NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE: TE) (“T1,” “T1 Energy,” or the “Company”) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter 2026. The Company will hold a conference call today at 8:00 am EDT.

Headlines

• Second quarter 2026 results summary. During Q2 2026, T1 achieved total net sales of $250.1 million, G1_Dallas module production of 935 MW, a net loss from continuing operations of $(36.9) million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.7 million. The Company’s second quarter 2026 net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA included a pre-tax reduction in Cost of Sales due to $24.4 million of tariff refunds recognized during the quarter.
  
• T1 and Clearway execute strategic offtake deal. In August 2026, T1 announced a contract to supply independent power producer Clearway Energy Group (“Clearway”) 641 MW of solar modules built with domestic cells from T1’s G2_Austin solar cell fab. This latest offtake contract marks a continuation of T1’s commercial strategy to offer customers a traceable and reliable solar supply chain built on leading U.S. technology and domestic content.
  
• T1 acquires advanced solar intellectual property rights from Evervolt. In July 2026, the Company announced that it acquired foundational solar patents and other intellectual property rights from Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte Ltd. (“Evervolt”) for total consideration of $135 million. T1 believes these patents, which relate to Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (“TOPCon”) solar cells and modules, provide the most advanced, highly efficient commercially viable solar technology available.
  
• G2_Austin project update. Construction work on the 2.1 GW Phase 1 of G2_Austin, T1’s solar cell fab, continues with the building ready for interior Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing installation. Additionally, T1 has begun receiving the first containers of production line equipment at U.S. ports, and all the key shipments from T1’s production line equipment vendor for Phase 1 are now either on the water or already in the United States. Long lead time clean room equipment has also been ordered ahead of the projected start of clean room installation later in the third quarter. As the Company indicated in July, T1 is projecting that capital expenditures for G2_Austin Phase 1 will total $510 million in accordance with the recent addition of a 20% contingency. The capital expenditure contingency is intended to account for labor and materials costs associated with tightness in the Texas data center construction market. T1 expects to produce the first solar cells at G2_Austin in Q1 2027.   
  
• T1 applauds the Section 232 proclamation in support of American polysilicon solar manufacturing. The Company believes the new action, which was signed and announced on August 6, 2026, aligns with T1’s strategy to build a vertically integrated solar supply chain on industry leading U.S. technology. The proclamation details new tariffs on U.S. imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives, which go into effect on December 4, 2026. It also launches an onshoring program to incentivize companies to invest in U.S. production of polysilicon products. T1 plans to work with the Department of Commerce to access the tariff offset onshoring program through T1’s committed and planned investments in G2_Austin, TOPCon IP, and U.S. polysilicon and wafer commitments with Hemlock Semiconductor and Corning, Inc. (NYSE: GLW).
  

“We made significant advances during and since the second quarter to strengthen T1’s long-term competitive position while we fund and execute our domestic vertical integration strategy,” said Dan Barcelo, Chairman and CEO of T1 Energy. “Our mission to power America with industry leading solar technology while we support the domestic polysilicon industry is resonating with customers, and we are focused on delivering strong operational and financial performance in the second half of 2026 while we continue to make meaningful progress at G2_Austin, our flagship U.S. solar cell fab.”

Business update and guidance

• Nordic value optimization. T1 is engaged in discussions with multiple parties to explore potential strategic pathways to generate value from the Company’s Nordic portfolio. T1’s Nordic data center asset, which has been assigned a 50 MW grid allocation by Norway’s power grid operator, remains in the queue for 396 MW of power. Potential monetization structures could include participation in a joint venture through T1’s contribution of assets with established operators in the global data center ecosystem.
  
  
• Section 45X tax credits. During Q2 2026, T1 monetized the balance of the Company's remaining 2025 Section 45X tax credits (as defined below) for $39.1 million, at a gross price of $0.93 on the dollar, which was higher than previously announced 2025 sales. T1 has also commenced early-stage negotiations with several potential counterparties regarding sales of Section 45X tax credits accrued in 2026.
  
  
• Enhanced full-year 2026 G1_Dallas production target. T1 expects the run rate of production in Q3 and Q4 2026 will exceed Q2 2026 production and believes 2026 production will fall within the higher end of its previously disclosed 2026 production range of 3.1 - 4.2 GW. The enhanced production target reflects T1's progress qualifying international cell vendors to supply G1_Dallas.
  
  
• Financing update. T1 continues to target a comprehensive financing solution, which includes a significant debt component, in an amount sufficient to fund the remaining estimated capital expenditure required for G2_Austin Phase 1.
  

Subsequent Events to Q2 2026  

• T1 completed a private placement of $120 million of convertible senior notes due 2031. In July 2026, the Company completed a private placement of $120 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2031. The offering generated gross proceeds of $120 million and is intended as a bridge to a comprehensive financing solution to fund the remaining capital expenditures of the 2.1 GW Phase 1 of G2_Austin.
  
• T1 closes acquisition of KORE Power, Inc., creating T1 NRI brand to service BESS and data center infrastructure markets. In July 2026, T1 closed the previously announced acquisition of KORE Power, Inc. The transaction is expected to provide T1 with an entry point into the energy storage and AI data center infrastructure markets through an expanded potential customer base for solar and storage solutions.
  

Q2 2026 Results Overview

• T1 Energy reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2026 of $44.5 million, or $(0.16) per share compared to a net loss of $32.8 million, or $(0.21) per share for the second quarter of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

T1 reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA presented herein is a supplemental measure of T1’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

T1 defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to exclude certain items that management does not consider indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, including, but not limited to, non-cash charges, non-recurring items, and non-operating gains or losses. These adjustments include impairment charges, losses on debt extinguishment, losses on settlement of derivative liabilities, share-based compensation, fair value adjustments of warrant and derivative liabilities, and non-recurring transaction expenses. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure was re-defined in the fourth quarter of 2025 to also exclude certain non-recurring transaction expenses. The historical presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in this press release has been recast to conform to the revised definition.

T1 uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure in evaluating its financial and operating performance and in making strategic business decisions. T1 believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information by excluding items that may not be representative of its core business, operating results, or future outlook. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from continuing operations or any other measure of performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure for historical periods in the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to Most Comparable Amounts” set forth on Annex A of this press release.

(1) Net loss, Net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA include pre-tax reduction in Cost of sales due to $24.4 million of tariff refunds recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The impact of these tariff refunds was excluded from the estimated Adjusted EBITDA range in our press release, dated July 28, 2026, related to certain preliminary results for the three months ended June 30, 2026. In connection with the completion of our quarterly financial closing procedures, we determined that such tariff refunds would not be excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and have revised the presentation of such non-GAAP metric in this press release.
(2) Transaction and nonrecurring expenses includes $2.6 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, which is primarily related to non-recurring legal costs in connection with the evaluation, interpretation, and implementation of provisions under the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Transaction and nonrecurring expenses of $1.8 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily related to the Trina Business Combination and non-recurring legal and advisory costs in connection with the evaluation and pursuit of potential acquisitions and joint venture arrangements.
