Enphase Energy sold $235 million of tax credits; Q1 GAAP gross margin to fall 6.7 points
Enphase agreed on March 31, 2026 to sell $235 million of 2025 advanced manufacturing tax credits to a financial institution for $218.55 million, a discount of about $16.5 million, plus about $2.5 million in transaction fees. Because these amounts are included in GAAP results, the company expects its first-quarter 2026 GAAP gross margin to be about 6.7 percentage points lower than its prior guidance, though it plans to exclude them from non-GAAP measures.
