      Real Goods Solar shares slip in IPO debut

      BOSTON (Thomson Financial) - Real Goods Solar Inc. shares traded down Thursday from its initial public offering opening price of $9 on the Nasdaq Global Market.

      The company's 5.5 million common share IPO priced Thursday at $10 per share, the low end of its previously estimated $10 to $12 price range.

      The shares recently changed hands at $8.69 on volume of 3.4 million.

      The 5.5 million shares sold was an increase of 500,000 shares over the original 5 million the company had planned to offer.

      The Broomfield, Colo.-based residential solar energy integrator granted an option for underwriters to purchase an additional 825,000 shares to cover any over-allotments.

      ThinkPanmure LLC acted as bookrunning lead manager of the $55 million offering, the proceeds of which Real Goods intends to use to repay amounts owed to its parent company, Gaiam Inc., for costs to acquire and expand its business.

      Real Goods Solar Inc. didn't receive a warm welcome on Wall Street Thursday. The Broomfield company's stock fell below its offering price in its first day as a public company.

      Shares of Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ: RSOL) closed down 12 percent, or $1.20 a share, to $8.80 a share. The company had priced its IPO of 5.5 million shares at $10 a share.

      The company, chaired by veteran businessman Jirka Rysavy, was spun off from Gaiam Inc. Real Goods Solar was founded in 1978 and in 2000 merged with Gaiam, a lifestyles company that sells environmentally friendly products and information. Rysavy is founder, chairman and CEO of Broomfield-based Gaiam.

      Real Goods Solar installs solar-power systems for homes and businesses. Revenue increased 12.6 percent in 2007, to $18.9 million, while gross profit was up 9.2 percent, to $6.5 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      The Thursday offering was for Class A shares. Gaiam owns 100 percent of the Class B stock, which gives the holder 10 votes per share. The Class A stock has one vote per share.

      Real Goods Solar, Inc. (RSOL) is a residential and commercial solar energy integrator. It begins trading publicly this Thursday.

      All quotations are from the company's most recent S-1 filing with links provided.

      Business Overview (from prospectus)

      We are a leading residential solar energy integrator. We offer turnkey services to our solar energy system customers, including design, procurement, permitting, build-out, grid connection, financing referrals and warranty and customer satisfaction activities. Our solar energy systems use high-quality solar PV modules from manufacturers such as Sharp, SunPower and Kyocera Solar. We use proven technologies and techniques to help customers achieve meaningful savings by reducing their utility costs. In addition, we help customers lower their emissions output and reliance upon fossil fuel energy sources.

      Offering: 5 million shares at $10-$12 per share. Net proceeds of approx. $49.1 million to be to repay amounts owed, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

      IPO Underwriters: ThinkPanmure, LLC; Canaccord Adams; Broadpoint.

      Financial Highlights:

      For the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2007, net revenue was $18.9 million vs. $16.8 million for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2006. On a pro forma basis (giving effect to the acquisitions of Marin Solar and Carlson Solar as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2007), for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2007, net revenue was $32.7 million, gross margin was 30%, and generated $1.0 million of income from operations. Immediately after the completion of this offering, after application of the net proceeds of this offering, co. will have $29.8 million of cash and no outstanding debt.

      Top Competitors:

      The solar energy industry is in its early stages of development and is highly fragmented, consisting of many small, privately held companies with limited resources and operating histories but some of which benefit from operating efficiencies or low overhead requirements. A number of competitors exist in the California market, including companies such as REC Solar, Akeena Solar (AKNS) and Solar City. Several of our competitors have expanded their market share in the California market by opening multiple offices within the state. According to data published by the California Energy Commission, as of the end of 2007, we were one of the top two solar energy system installers in California both in terms of total sales (installed system price) and cumulative watts (installed system size). Based upon other information, we estimate that we are currently in the top three solar energy system installers in California. In Colorado our competitors include Namaste Solar Electric and REC Solar, but there is no published data regarding competitive positions in Colorado. We compete on factors such as brand recognition, quality of services and products, pricing, speed and quality of installation.

      Real Goods IPO Suffers From Akeena Solar Fallout
      Shares of the Colorado-based residential solar installer fall during its Nasdaq debut as Akeena, one of the world's largest public installers, misses earnings and lowers its full-year forecast.
      by: Jennifer Kho
      Bullet Arrow May 08, 2008

      It's not the best day to be a public solar installer.
      Advertisement

      Broomfield, Colo.-based Real Goods Solar (NSDQ: RSOL) discovered that during its Nasdaq debut Thursday (see this Green Light post). The residential installer’s initial public offering began at $10 per share – at the low end of the expected $10- to $12-per-share price range – and shares fell 12 percent to close at $8.80 per share.

      In after hours trading, the stock fell another 1.7 percent to $8.65 per share.

      The same day, Akeena Solar (NSDQ: AKNS), a large solar installer in Los Gatos, Calif., fell a whopping 19.4 percent to $5.35 per share after missing first-quarter expectations and lowering its full-year guidance (also see this MFFAIS post).

      The company posted a net loss of $4.6 million, or 16 cents per share, which represents a loss that nearly quintupled the $933,000, or 6 cents per share, loss of the year-ago quarter. Analysts expected a loss of 13 cents a share, excluding one-time items, according to Reuters Estimates.

      The loss came in spite of net sales that grew 94.7 percent to $12.2 million, compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of last year, which met analyst expectations. Operating expenses nearly tripled to $7.1 million from $2.4 million due to more offices and employees, the company said.

      Akeena said it will cut staff and streamline its operations. It also lowered its guidance for the full year, forecasting growth of 40 to 50 percent over last year’s revenue of $32.2 million, down from a March prediction that it would double revenue this year.

      The reason? The federal investment tax credit. Akeena’s management “now assumes that the ITC will not be extended this year,” according to the announcement.

      “In the short term, the recession and ITC uncertainty will dampen investments in solar power; in the medium term, the escalating cost of energy will only serve to stimulate demand,” CEO Barry Cinnamon said in a written statement. “In the meantime, we will continue to promote the benefits of solar power while applying strict cost discipline to managing our business.”

      Brian Yerger, a research analyst with Jesup & Lamont, called Akeena’s decision to reduce guidance “prudent.”

      After all, the company is getting hit with the tax-credit uncertainty, the subprime credit crunch and the economic downturn, all at the same time, he said.

      Customers are backing away from projects that might not be completed by the end of the year, because the penalty of any delay could amount to a 30-percent increase in cost for commercial projects, if the tax credits aren’t renewed, he said.

      And the downturn in the economy, especially in the housing market, has reduced the equity that homeowners can use to invest in solar power, he said.

      Real Goods may be suffering from the coincidence of going public on the same day that Akeena, the largest public solar installer in the United States, missed its earnings, he said.

      “It’s just bad luck,” Yerger said. “If Real Goods had come out yesterday, it might not have been down. It just came out on a day when Akeena had bad guidance, which may have created a ripple effect and given it a bad time.”

      The bad influence could continue for a little while, as Mark Cox, CEO of the New Energy Fund, predicted that Akeena could drop to $4 per share and stay there “for a bit.” As it is, the stock is 68 percent off its 52-week peak of $16.80 per share, set on Jan. 7.

      “In this environment, you get punished, especially if you have not held up,” said Cox, who said his fund previously owned Akeena shares, but sold them at $16 per share. “Akeena Solar hasn’t held up.”

      Die bringen über Gaiam gleich einen grossen potentiellen Kundenstamm mit. Könnte ein cleverer Schachzug sein.
