SinglePoint Inc.的首席執行官Wil Ralson參加了Hawk Point Media Group的"Take Five"系列活動,解釋了他的公司如何打算實現其雄心勃勃的議程,並回應關於其公司及其全資子公司波士頓太陽能在2025年的現狀和發展方向的及時問題。他說:
Q. SinglePoint recently posted its Q3 financial report, which included solid results from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Boston Solar. What are the standouts that may be getting overlooked?
問:SinglePoint最近發佈了第三季度財務報告,其中包括來自其全資子公司波士頓太陽能的良好業績。有哪一些亮點可能被忽視?
A. SinglePoint's latest Q3 financial report, which included results from our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boston Solar, showed some remarkable progress, especially given the current challenges in the solar market. Particularly, it shows the company is edging closer to achieving positive cash flow, driven by substantial cuts in operating overhead, which ensures that a larger portion of revenue directly contributes to the bottom line. Despite a 19.2% drop in total income to $5.54 million compared to $6.85 million in Q3 FY23, gross profit increased significantly, reaching $2.5 million, or 45.1% of total income, up from 29.8% the previous year. This demonstrates the company's strong focus on cost reduction and operational efficiency.
答:SinglePoint最新的第三季度財務報告中,包括了我們全資子公司波士頓太陽能的結果,顯示出了一些顯著的進展,特別是在當前太陽能市場的挑戰下。特別是,報告顯示公司離實現正現金流又近了一步,得益於運營開支的大幅減少,這確保了更大部分的營業收入直接貢獻於凈利潤。儘管與2023財年第三季度相比,總收入下降了19.2%,至554萬,但毛利潤顯著增加,達到了250萬,或總收入的45.1%,高於去年的29.8%。這表明公司對成本降低和運營效率有着強烈的關注。
Additionally, SinglePoint achieved a net operating income (EBIT) of $418,196, which is 7.5% of total income-a notable turnaround from the 5.3% loss reported last year. The net loss also saw a substantial reduction, improving by 72.5% to just $103,363, or 1.9% of total income. Together, these financial metrics reflect the resilience and strategic success of SinglePoint's operations in navigating a tough industry environment.
此外,SinglePoint實現了418,196美元的淨營業收入(EBIT),佔總收入的7.5%,這比去年報告的5.3%的虧損有顯著的好轉。淨虧損也大幅減少,改善了72.5%,降至僅103,363美元,或總收入的1.9%。綜合來看,這些財務指標反映了SinglePoint在應對嚴峻行業環境中展現出的韌性和戰略成功。
Q. Investors will point to that number still being negative. How do you respond?
Q. 投資者會指出這個數字仍然是負的。你如何回應?
A. Regarding the remaining net loss, it's important to note that the company has reduced overhead expenses by $3.5 million since Q1 2024. This reduction, combined with increased installation throughput, positions SinglePoint and Boston Solar on an accelerating trajectory toward posting net income, potentially by the end of Q4 this year at the operating subsidiary level. As expense reductions start to be fully reflected in the balance sheet, along with addressing one-time losses during the business turnaround, the data shows the company is on a positive path toward profitability, which has been the mandate all year. It is reassuring to see the positive changes occurring.
A. 關於剩餘的淨損失,重要的是要注意公司自2024年第一季度以來已將間接費用減少了350萬美元。這一減少,再加上安裝效率的提高,使SinglePoint和Boston Solar走在了一個加速的軌道上,可能在今年第四季度末在運營子公司層面實現凈利潤。隨着費用減少開始在資產負債表上完全反映,以及在業務轉型期間解決一次性損失,數據顯示公司朝着盈利的積極方向前進,這一直是全年的目標。看到積極變化發生,令人感到欣慰。
Q. If so, how would you describe your company's current stock price in terms of forward-looking expectations?
Q. 如果是這樣,你如何描述貴公司目前的股價與未來預期的關係?
A. In my opinion, at current levels, considering we're on pace to report over $20 million in 2024 sales, the share price appears appreciably disconnected from our intrinsic value and inherent potential. Markets have never been perfect appraisers of value, and for the solar energy sector-which has experienced a challenging downturn in residential installations-valuations have been severely pressured.
A. 在我看來,考慮到當前我們預計2024年銷售超過2000萬美元,股價似乎與我們的內在價值和固有潛力明顯脫節。市場從來不是完美的價值評估者,而對於經歷了住宅安裝困難下滑的太陽能行業,估值受到了嚴重的壓力。
However, looking ahead, a new administration set to take office in 2025 is providing key roles to individuals with a very friendly bias toward green energy. I believe we can capitalize on our larger market share to energize revenue streams in a U.S. solar industry projected to grow significantly in the next fiscal year. If we navigate as planned, valuation gaps typically close, reflecting that success.
然而,展望未來,2025年即將上任的新政府給了對綠色能源持非常友好態度的人士重要角色。我相信我們可以利用更大的市場份額爲美國太陽能行業激發營業收入,這一行業預計在下一個財政年度顯著增長。如果我們按計劃進行,估值差距通常會縮小,反映出成功。
Q. Do industry trends support that optimism?
Q. 行業趨勢是否支持這種樂觀情緒?
A. President Trump's election has undoubtedly introduced uncertainties around the future of solar tax credits and renewable energy policies. However, I'm confident that the solar industry is poised for continued growth, and here's why. The industry's resilience is market-driven, with technological advancements and decreasing costs fueling significant demand. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects solar power generation to grow by 75% between 2023 and 2025, reflecting its increasing role in the energy mix.
A. 特朗普總統的當選無疑引入了對太陽能稅收抵免和可再生能源政策未來的不確定性。然而,我相信太陽能行業註定會持續增長,原因如下:該行業的韌性是由市場驅動的,技術進步和成本降低推動了顯著需求。美國能源信息管理局預計2023年至2025年太陽能發電將增長75%,反映其在能源組合中的日益重要性。
Solar energy is also a major driver of economic growth, creating jobs and stimulating local economies. The Solar Energy Industries Association highlights that the industry employs hundreds of thousands of Americans, a figure that continues to rise. Furthermore, state-level initiatives and renewable energy standards provide a stable foundation for progress, even amid federal policy shifts.
太陽能也是經濟增長的重要推動力,創造就業機會並刺激當地經濟。太陽能產業協會強調,該行業僱傭了數十萬美國人,這一數字還在繼續上升。此外,州級倡議和可再生能源標準爲進展提供了穩定的基礎,即使在聯邦政策變化的情況下。
Beyond these factors, the pursuit of energy independence and diversification remains a national priority, and solar energy is central to this strategy. With costs having decreased by over 60% in the last decade due to technological advancements, solar is now more competitive than ever with traditional energy sources. Consumer and corporate demand for reliable and renewable energy solutions, such as solar and battery storage, is also accelerating investment and development in the sector.
除了這些因素,追求能源獨立和多樣化仍然是國家的優先事項,而太陽能在這一策略中處於核心地位。由於技術進步,十年來成本下降了超過60%,太陽能現在與傳統能源源相比更加具有競爭力。消費和企業對可靠和可再生能源解決方案(如太陽能和電池儲存)的需求也在加速推動該板塊的投資和發展。
While federal policies may evolve, the fundamental drivers of solar growth-economic benefits, technological progress, state initiatives, and market demand-remain strong. Our company is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends and deliver exceptional value to our investors. Thus, to answer your question more directly from a macro observation- absolutely.
儘管聯邦政策可能會演變,但太陽能增長的基本驅動因素——經濟利益、技術進步、州級倡議和市場需求——仍然強勁。我們的公司很好地把握這些趨勢,爲投資者提供卓越的價值。因此,爲了更直接地回答你的問題,從宏觀觀察來看——絕對如此。
Q. Final question- how do you see FY/2025 playing out?
問:最後一個問題——你認爲2025財年將如何發展?
A. We've worked hard to lay a solid foundation, and we're in an excellent position for 2025. While this journey has been more of a turnaround acquisition than initially expected, we're incredibly close to turning the corner. The market environment has been challenging, and there's still some operational cleanup to do, but our team's resilience and the company's competitive strengths set us up for success in 2025.
答:我們努力打下了堅實的基礎,並且我們在2025年處於一個極好的位置。雖然這段旅程比最初預期的更多是一次扭轉收購,但我們距離成功拐點已經非常接近。市場環境一直很具挑戰性,還有一些運營方面的清理工作要做,但我們團隊的韌性和公司的競爭優勢爲2025年的成功奠定了基礎。
With that in mind, I'm confident that Boston Solar has the potential to reach $50 million in top-line revenue in the next few years-our local market supports that level of growth. As we head into 2025, we're taking a fresh approach to operations, efficiency, and leadership, focused on driving profit and growing revenue. That focus, combined with the business momentum behind us, positions us for what can be a transformative year.
考慮到這一點,我相信波士頓太陽能在未來幾年的營業收入有潛力達到5000萬——我們的地方市場支持這樣的增長水平。隨着我們進入2025年,我們將採取新的運營、效率和領導方法,專注於推動利潤和增加營業收入。這種專注,加上我們所擁有的業務勢頭,爲這一可能成爲轉折之年的時候奠定了基礎。
