SolarBank Corporation (SUUN) Stock: Q325 Misses as Revenue Drops, IPP Stable, Long-Term Outlook Remains Positive

TLDR

SUUN stock trades at $1.82 after Q3 results missed expectations Q3 revenue fell sharply due to project timing and absence of development income Net loss widened to C$9M versus a C$5.5M profit last year Acquisition of Solar Flow-Through Funds increased assets by 395% Long-term growth strategy supported by $100M U.S. project financing

SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) posted fiscal Q3 2025 results on May 15, 2025, with the stock trading at $1.82, down 0.49% intraday, as of writing.

SolarBank Corporation (SUUN) 

The company reported total Q3 revenue of C$9 million, well below expectations due to delayed project revenue recognition. Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) revenue totaled C$7.8 million ($5.5 million USD), while Independent Power Producer (IPP) revenue reached C$1.2 million ($0.8 million USD), in line with estimates.

The revenue shortfall was attributed to seasonal slowdowns and the absence of development revenue, typically a higher-margin contributor. Gross loss for the quarter came in at C$61,000.

Costs Spike on Acquisition Fees

Operating expenses were mostly in line with expectations except for a sharp spike in professional fees. The company incurred C$3.4 million in fees, nearly C$2.7 million higher than projected, largely due to due diligence costs tied to its July 2024 acquisition of Solar Flow-Through Funds (SFF).

These one-time costs contributed to a Q3 net loss of C$7.3 million, or ($0.16) USD per share—well below the expected EPS of $0.03. Over the same quarter last year, the company posted a net income of C$5.5 million.

IPP Platform Growth and Asset Expansion

Despite near-term volatility, SolarBank emphasized its shift toward long-term asset ownership. Year-to-date revenue stood at C$29.1 million, down from C$50.4 million in the previous year, reflecting the company’s pivot away from short-term EPC contracts.

SolarBank’s total assets surged 395% to C$194 million after the SFF acquisition, underlining the scale of its transition. The company expects this strategic direction to enhance recurring revenue and smoothen financial performance over time.

$100M Financing Deal to Boost U.S. Projects

To support future growth, SolarBank secured a mandate letter with CIM Group for up to $100 million in project financing. The funds will be used to develop a 97 MW solar portfolio in the U.S., reinforcing SolarBank’s commitment to growing its IPP platform and geographical footprint.
