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

Headlines

• G2_Austin comprehensive financing update. T1 is in negotiations with certain institutional investors under exclusivity (with certain exceptions) to finalize a G2_Austin debt financing solution. Any such financing is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and the satisfaction of numerous conditions precedent (some of which may be beyond T1’s control) and may include or require the issuance of additional equity or equity-linked securities. Closing a comprehensive financing solution for G2_Austin remains T1’s top priority; however, there can be no assurance that definitive documents will be agreed, or that any such financing will be completed, on a timely basis on terms acceptable to T1, or at all.
  
• T1 Signs Nearly 1.6 GW of New Offtake Contracts Following Section 232 Proclamation, fielding indications of strong demand for 2027. The U.S. Department of Commerce Section 232 proclamation in support of the domestic polysilicon industry has catalyzed heightened customer interest in T1's available projected 2027-2030 module and cell production capacity at G1_Dallas and G2_Austin.
  

As previously announced, T1 has signed new offtake deals totaling more than 1.58GW of advanced solar modules. Through its latest offtake contracts, including with independent power producer Avantus, T1 Energy expects to supply high-performance, high-efficiency, TOPCon modules from its G1_Dallas solar module facility in 2027 and 2028. The modules are expected to use a blend of imported solar cells and domestically produced cells from T1’s G2_Austin new solar cell fab. T1 now has more than 3.5GW of its 2027 manufacturing capacity under contract for scheduled 2027 deliveries.

Based on ongoing conversations with Tier 1 customers, indicative demand, and the recently signed offtake contracts, T1 believes it may sell out of its 5 GW capacity at G1_Dallas for 2027 at attractive prices and terms. Actual sales of G1_Dallas production capacity in 2027 will be subject to execution of offtake contracts with such Tier 1 customers and continued demand.

• Q3 2026 results reflect T1’s decision to build module inventory to facilitate 2027 deliveries on new customer offtake contracts. T1 Energy reported a net loss from continuing operations of $34.7 million, or $(0.12) per share for the third quarter of 2026. T1 elected to produce 1,056MW of modules at G1_Dallas in the third quarter of 2026, the second highest quarterly run-rate in the Company’s history, building 326MW of module inventory to facilitate 2027 deliveries under recently signed customer offtake contracts. Third quarter 2026 gross margins of 8.5% and Adjusted EBITDA of ($16.4) million reflect higher facilities-related costs driven by increased inventory production along with higher SG&A expense. Third quarter SG&A expense of $71.2 million is attributable to growth in T1’s technical and operational headcount, as well as higher financing, transaction and legal expenses associated with capital markets activity and other matters.
  
• Tightening 2026 G1_Dallas production guidance to the high end of prior range, initiating preliminary 2027 production guidance of 5.3GW. T1 now expects to achieve full-year 2026 G1_Dallas module production of 4.0 – 4.2GW, at the high end of the previous range of 3.1 – 4.2GW. Updated 2026 production guidance is consistent with contracted customer demand for the fourth quarter and imported cell availability. For 2027, with more than 3.5GW of G1_Dallas capacity under contract, and a customer offtake pipeline in excess of remaining available capacity, T1 is planning to produce 5.3GW, which is based on a forecast that G1 is sold out of capacity for the full-year 2027.
• T1 enters into Letter of Intent to potentially monetize Nordic data center asset. T1 continues to advance its plan to generate value for shareholders by repurposing its Nordic Giga Arctic asset as a data center. Following the previously announced 50MW grid allocation from Norway’s national grid operator, Statnett, and the approval by local officials to rezone a portion of the campus for data center development, T1 has signed a non-binding LOI to negotiate and explore the possibility of repurposing the asset with a potential partner. Under the terms of the LOI, T1 would contribute the assets, power allowance and the queue position for additional power, while the partner would be responsible for financing capital expenditures in addition to identifying and securing a tenant and/or compute offtaker. Any such arrangement is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and there can be no assurance that definitive documentation will be agreed, or that a transaction will be completed, on a timely basis on terms acceptable to T1, or at all.
• T1 receives Commerce Department 232 waiver. On October 22, 2026, the Company announced it had received a waiver from the Commerce Department to import up to 1.725GW of solar cells to support uninterrupted manufacturing activities at G1_Dallas. T1 requested the waiver to help ensure access to necessary solar cells for a limited duration while construction on the 2.1GW Phase 1 of the Company’s G2_Austin solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas, continues. T1 appreciates the Commerce Department’s support of its strategy to strengthen American manufacturing and intends to work with the Commerce Department to potentially access the onshoring relief program on the basis of its committed capital investment at G2_Austin.
  

“T1 continued to invest in the Company’s future during the third quarter to advance our mission to build America’s first integrated polysilicon solar supply chain,” said Dan Barcelo, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of T1 Energy. “Following the Commerce Department’s Section 232 proclamation, pricing and demand for G1_Dallas modules has improved meaningfully, and we have initiated a 2027 G1 production plan of 5.3GW to accommodate the expected growth of T1’s commercial enterprise. In parallel, we are investing in the construction of G2_Austin and the key people we need to build, commission and operate our landmark U.S. solar cell fab while we work to potentially finalize a comprehensive G2_Austin financing solution.”

Business update

• G2_Austin construction update. During the third quarter of 2026, T1’s team completed the primary steel structure and took delivery of all the remaining Phase 1 production line equipment at U.S. ports. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (“MEP”) installation commenced in September 2026 and continues ahead of the planned completion of trades work and preparation of the cleanroom. Given the progress on construction to date and the projected timing of initial cell deliveries under customer contracts, T1 intends to temporarily match the pace of capital spending at G2_Austin with the expected timeline to close a G2_Austin financing solution.
  
• Section 45X Production Tax Credit Monetization. T1 has advanced several conversations to monetize the $155.3 million of Section 45X Production Tax Credits (“Section 45X tax credits”) it has generated through the third quarter of 2026. Through third-party due diligence analysis conducted on the Company’s solar cell supply chain, T1 believes it has achieved approximately 65% use of non-FEOC materials, exceeding the 50% non-FEOC Material Assistance Cost Ratio (“MACR”) threshold required to comply with the safe harbor tables under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) through the second quarter of 2026. The Company continues to make progress on its strategic sourcing initiatives and is currently working with five distinct solar cell suppliers who have been independently verified for the MACR ratio test, with two additional cell suppliers being evaluated. T1 is confident in its plans to continue to increase its MACR as it builds out a domestic polysilicon-based solar supply chain.
  
• T1 completed private placement of $50 million of convertible senior notes due 2031. On September 30, 2026, T1 completed a private placement to a qualified institutional investor that was an existing shareholder of the Company of an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2031. The offering generated gross proceeds of $50.4 million and was intended as a bridge to a comprehensive G2_Austin financing solution.
  

Q3 2026 Results Overview

• T1 Energy reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2026 of $41.6 million, or $(0.14) per share compared to a net loss of $140.8 million, or $(0.87) per share for the third quarter of 2025. Net loss from continuing operations was $34.7 million, or $(0.12) per share for the third quarter of 2026 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $130.8 million, or $(0.87) per share for the third quarter of 2025. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(5.9) million, or $(0.02) per share, for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, for the third quarter of 2025.
  
• As of September 30, 2026, T1 had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $137.0 million, of which $59.5 million was unrestricted cash.

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 adjustments 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.
