"2020 was a pivotal year for SPI Energy as our team executed exceptionally in the challenging environment created by COVID," said Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO of SPI Energy. "In addition to generating 42% revenue growth, a 67% improvement in gross margins, and substantial improvements in operating income, as well as significant strengthening of our balance sheet, we successfully laid the foundation to accelerate growth across key areas of the renewable energy landscape in 2020. Most notably, our entrance into the massive EV space in September, through the launch of EdisonFuture and the subsequent acquisition of Phoenix Motorcars and collaboration with Icona Design, positions us to become a leader in sustainable transportation."

"With $53 million in new gross capital raised in the second half of 2020, we are in a great position to execute on our comprehensive growth strategy across multiple high-growth segments of the global renewable energy markets," continued Mr. Peng. "We continue to focus on reaching operational profitability. Subtracting out our foreign exchange loss and a one-time legal expense, our net income would have been positive, a greater than $15 million improvement over 2019."
