GAAP net income for the quarter was $0.3 million, or breakeven net income per share, compared to last quarter's net loss of $0.6 million or $0.01 loss per share and the year-ago first quarter net loss of $7.2 million. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, the first quarter net income was $2.8 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.04, compared to the prior quarter's net income of $1.5 million and the year-ago first quarter net loss of $6.1 million. Other first-quarter highlights included: -- Continued capacity expansion at SunPower's SPML Philippines-based solar cell manufacturing facility with the start-up of the company's third manufacturing line. Line 3, which runs thinner 190-micron wafers, is scheduled to be running at full capacity by the end of the second quarter and brings SunPower's solar cell nameplate annual manufacturing capacity to 75 megawatts. -- Approval by SunPower's Board of Directors to proceed with construction of the company's second solar cell manufacturing plant at SPML. Plant 2 will have a nameplate capacity of 200 MW and is scheduled to start production from Line 5 in the first half of 2007. -- Manufacture of the first 22%-efficient solar cells using the company's improved Gen 2 (second generation) manufacturing process. These prototype solar cells were produced in pilot-scale runs at SPML using existing high-volume manufacturing equipment. Gen 2 technology is planned for full implementation on Line 4, scheduled to start production in the fourth quarter of 2006. -- Began construction at SunPower's first solar panel manufacturing facility, located close to SPML in the Philippines. The new state-of-the-art panel factory will have an initial 30 MW nameplate annual capacity and a footprint capable of expansion to 90 MW. Panel production is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2006, and will augment the company's existing outsourced panel production in China. -- Volume shipment of the company's new, higher-efficiency SPR-95, SPR-215, and SPR-220 solar panels. These new models increase the power ratings of what was already the highest efficiency product line in the solar industry. -- Certification of SunPower's new solar panel product line by TUV Rheinland to the industry's most stringent standards, IEC 61215, edition 2 and IEC 61345. These panels are the first worldwide to be certified under these stringent standards. -- Securing a $55 million, silicon supply contract. This incremental supply agreement covers silicon supply over a 5-year period, beginning in 2006, as a component of SunPower's diversified silicon supply strategy. Tom Werner, SunPower CEO, said "We are pleased to report another solid quarter of operational results ahead of our announced objectives as well as a number of achievements that extend our leadership in the technology arena. "We continue to expand SunPower's manufacturing capacity ahead of plan," added Werner. "Our newest production line, Line 3, was turned on during the first quarter and has already exceeded its design-yield objectives. This was an important achievement since Line 3 exclusively runs our new thinner 190-micron wafers. We are seeing the critical-mass benefits of our highly skilled work force and disciplined operating systems that together enable the rapid transfer of learning to our newer lines. We expect that this incremental capacity will allow us to achieve another significant quarter-on-quarter top-line revenue increase to $50- to $52 million for Q2, with expected, diluted non-GAAP net income of share of $0.05 to $0.07. "We are on plan to install Line 4 at SPML in the fourth quarter of this year, and are pleased to announce that we have already made 22% solar cells using the Gen 2 technology that we plan to utilize on Line 4," continued Werner. "We expect that the 10% higher relative efficiency of Gen 2 technology together with thinner wafers will allow SunPower to further improve our silicon utilization efficiency on Line 4 to less than 7 grams of polysilicon raw material per watt of solar power. "Early achievement of these manufacturing and technology milestones gives us the confidence to increase our 2006 top-line minimum revenue guidance from $210 million to $220 million," Werner said. "We are also pleased to report a number of significant achievements in our solar panel assembly operation," Werner said. We recently announced that our solar panel group had started volume shipments of an upgraded product line with higher power ratings than our previous industry-leading products. Our customers are thrilled to be getting even more watts per panel than before with the same uniquely superior aesthetic appearance. We are proud that this product line was the first worldwide to be certified to the rigorous new IEC standards and believe this achievement further reinforces SunPower's technology leadership position. "We have begun construction of our first solar panel manufacturing line in a building very close to the SPML solar cell factory. The new solar panel operation will begin with a single 30 MW line but has the footprint to house two more lines for a total potential capacity of 90 MW. Our plan at this new factory is to develop and commercialize advanced, automated solar panel manufacturing technology that leverages the inherent cost advantages of our all-back contact solar cell architecture," Werner said. About SunPower SunPower Corp. designs and manufactures high efficiency silicon solar cells and solar panels based on an all-back contact cell design. SunPower's solar cells and panels generate up to 50 percent more power per unit area than conventional solar technologies and have a uniquely attractive, all-black appearance.

Forward Looking Statements Statements herein that are not historical facts and that refer to SunPower's plans and expectations for revenue and income for the second quarter and the full year of 2006 and the future, for construction and operation of its manufacturing facilities and supply of polysilicon and ingots, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on our current expectations as of the date of the release, which could change or not materialize as expected. Our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of uncertainties and risk factors, including but not limited to business and economic conditions and growth trends in the solar power industry, our ability to obtain adequate supply of polysilicon and silicon ingots to manufacture our products and the price we pay for such material, our ability to ramp new production lines, our ability to realize expected manufacturing efficiencies, production difficulties that could arise and other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. We use words such as "believes," "plans" and "expects" and similar expressions to identify forward- looking statements that include, but are not limited to, statements related to future demand for our products, our expected revenue growth, our production capabilities, profit and incremental capacity. To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, SunPower uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude items related to amortization of intangibles and stock-based compensation. Management does not consider these charges in evaluating the core operational activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current performance. Most analysts covering SunPower use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, SunPower believes these measures are important to investors in understanding the Company's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in SunPower's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Fiscal Periods The company operates on a fiscal calendar comprised of four thirteen-week quarters that end at midnight Pacific Time on the Sunday nearest the calendar quarter-end. For simplicity, the company labels its fiscal quarters as ending on the calendar quarter date. NOTE: SunPower is a registered trademark of SunPower Corp.
