TOYO Co., Ltd. reported fourth‑quarter 2025 revenue of $427.4 million, a 142% year‑over‑year increase that exceeded the company’s own guidance range of $375–$400 million issued in September 2025. The jump was driven by a sharp rise in solar‑cell shipments, as the company’s 4 GW facility in Ethiopia reached full nameplate capacity in October 2025 and began supplying U.S. utility‑scale customers at a higher average selling price.
Net income for the quarter was $37.2 million, and adjusted earnings per share were $1.48, beating the consensus estimate of $0.78 by $0.70. The GAAP net income figure includes a one‑time share‑based compensation charge of approximately $13.7 million, which explains the difference between GAAP and adjusted results.
The revenue and margin expansion were largely attributable to the Ethiopian cell plant’s full utilization and the company’s vertical‑integration strategy, which has reduced input costs and improved operational leverage. Gross profit margin expanded to 22.5% in 2025 from 12.4% in 2024, reflecting stronger pricing power in the U.S. market and a higher mix of high‑margin module sales.
Management highlighted that the company’s Houston, Texas module facility, which began commercial operations in October 2025 with 1 GW capacity, is now fully integrated into the supply chain and will support projected 2026 shipments of 1–1.3 GW. Guidance for 2026 calls for solar‑cell shipments of 5.5–5.8 GW and adjusted net income of $90–$100 million, signaling confidence in continued growth and margin stability.
"2025 was a year of transformative execution for TOYO. By doubling our scale and strengthening our position as a vertically integrated solar solutions provider, we have built a resilient foundation designed to lead through a dynamic global business and policy landscape," said CEO Takahiko Onozuka. "Our record revenues of $427.4 million—a 142% increase over 2024—was underpinned by the rapid ramp‑up of our 4 GW cell facility, which is now operating at full capacity to serve our U.S. utility‑scale partners with high‑efficiency, policy‑compliant solar technology. Looking toward 2026, we are positioned to build on this record performance with a strategic goal of positioning TOYO as a supplier of compliant solar solutions that meet evolving customer requirements in the United States. Solar is a critically viable solution to scale up energy production rapidly, at scale, and cost effectively."
