Business Context and Reporting Period
Array Technologies, Inc. filed a Form 8-K relating to events occurring March 1–2, 2023. The filing concerns preliminary financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, and the reliability of previously issued interim financial statements for 2022.
Financial Metrics and Liquidity
- The company announced that it would provide preliminary ranges for fiscal 2022 revenue, gross margin, net loss, net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income per share, and free cash flow.
- The filing text does not provide the actual preliminary ranges or values for these metrics.
- The filing does not provide current cash, debt, liquidity, or operating cash flow amounts.
- The company planned to discuss its results and provide an investor presentation during a conference call scheduled for March 15, 2023.
Material Changes and Non-Reliance on Prior Financial Statements
On March 1, 2023, the Audit Committee concluded that the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2022 should no longer be relied upon. Investors were also advised not to rely on earnings releases and other communications relating to those financial statements.
The issue relates to the January 2022 acquisition of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L.U. and its subsidiaries. During preparation of the 2022 annual financial statements, the company identified errors involving the classification of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and the functional currency used for those balances.
The expected corrections may materially increase goodwill, net intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities, and accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. They are also expected to increase depreciation and amortization and foreign-currency translation adjustments for the affected periods. The estimated impact remains subject to further review and possible identification of additional material errors.
Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- The company expects to correct the errors through restated financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
- Management stated that it intended to file the Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day after its original due date.
- The errors are non-cash in nature and are not expected to affect revenue, gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, or adjusted net income per share, although the final impact remains subject to review.
- The filing indicates that the company discussed the matters with BDO USA, LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm.
- The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the restatement, internal-control evaluation, financial-statement impacts, and timing of the Form 10-K. Actual results and timing may differ because of additional errors, review findings, and other risks disclosed in the company’s SEC filings.
Key Facts Investors Should Verify
- Obtain the subsequent Form 10-K and restated 2022 interim financial statements to confirm the final accounting adjustments.
- Verify the preliminary fiscal 2022 revenue, margin, earnings, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, and free-cash-flow amounts, which are not included in the provided filing text.
- Review any disclosed material weaknesses or changes in internal control over financial reporting associated with the restatement.
- Assess whether the restatement affects goodwill, intangible assets, deferred taxes, accumulated other comprehensive income, depreciation and amortization, or future impairment risk.
- Confirm the company’s actual filing date for the Form 10-K and whether the anticipated timetable was met.
