Enphase Energy Announces Layoffs, Citing Economic Challenges

Enphase Energy, a solar equipment maker, announced plans to lay off about 10% of its workforce, affecting approximately 350 contractors and employees, and cease manufacturing operations at two locations. The company will resize other contract manufacturing sites and continue a hiring and travel freeze through 2024. The decision comes after the solar market experienced turbulence worldwide, with high interest rates impacting consumer demand in the United States and slowing growth in Europe. Enphase expects to incur restructuring and asset impairment charges of approximately $16-18 million, with $7 million in cash expenditures. The company's Q4 outlook remains unchanged, except for a $15 million increase in GAAP operating expenses.
