Good morning, and welcome to Sunnova's fourth quarter and full year 2024 earnings conference call. Today's call is being recorded (Operator Instructions) At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Rodney McMahan, Vice President, Investor Relations at Sunnova.
Thank you, and please go ahead, Rodney.
Thank you, operator. Before we begin, please note that during today's call, we will make forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties as described in our slide presentation, earnings press release and our 2024 Form 10-K. Please see those documents for additional information regarding those factors that may affect these forward-looking statements.
On the call today are John Berger, Sunnova's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Eric Williams, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Paul Mathews, Executive Vice President, and Chief Operating Officer. I will now turn the call over to John.
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining today's call. As you're aware, the fourth quarter of 2024 was a challenging time for our industry. Pure distress and stubbornly high interest rates along with regulatory and political uncertainties made both consumers and capital providers more cautious. This backdrop slowed the flow of tax equity, which in turn lowered the amount of capital we were able to deploy, ultimately leading to our 2024 cash generation to come in below expectations.
But the team delivered a strong operational performance in a few key areas. This includes over the course of the last two years, a reduction in net service expense of 24% per customer, while also reducing the total work orders open for our fleet by 12%. This occurred while growing our cumulative solar customer base by over 70% and subsequently reducing our average age of work order by 83%. Building on the strengths of the business, yet also facing the realities of this market, we believe we have made the adjustments needed to better position Sunnova for success in 2025 and beyond.
Turning to slide 4, I want to share how we have positioned Sunnova against the headwinds and backdrop I described. This includes continuing to prioritize margin overgrowth by focusing our originations in the most attractive markets and offering only our highest margin energy services such as our solar lease and [PPA] offerings, which now make up effectively 100% of our solar financings. 2024 was a year of consistent price increases to offset a higher cost of capital. If necessary, we will raise pricing again to protect our margins.
Second, reducing expenses and decreasing demand on our working capital. Recently we reduced our headcount by over 15% which is expected to contribute approximately $35 million towards a total estimated annual cash savings of approximately $70 million.
Since the end of 2023, our total headcount has declined by 30%. We further optimize working capital through revised dealer payments that are better aligned with our funding cycles and the current market structure, creating less lag between tax equity and debt funding and dealer payments.
We also signed a non-recourse asset-based loan facility borrowing against our own net contracted cash value. You've heard me reference this embedded value before, and it was the right time to access it and to strengthen the company. This facility will be used to manage our working capital, serve as a bridge to additional tax equity, and enhance our ability to advance systems in progress and add new originations.
Third, we have taken additional steps to further strengthen and maximize our asset level funding. I will walk you through the details in the next slide, but at a high level, we significantly increased our amount of asset level financing, including closing a $500 million tax equity fund in late December. However, the structure of this fund required the $75 million receipt at closing to be included in restricted cash. Thus, it did not contribute to our cash generation guidance as we expected.
In February, another $50 million was released under the tax equity fund. Executing on these three items remains our top priority. We believe doing so best positions know for success and helps us address our late 2026 corporate debt maturities by mid-2025. I want to share more detail how we are maximizing our asset level capital in the current environment.
Despite the more cautious capital markets environment, as you can see on slide 5 in 2024, we securitized $1.8 billion worth of solar assets and customer notes receivable and raised $1.3 billion of tax equity. Combined these two sources of capital generated over $1 billion more in asset level financing compared to the prior year, a company record.
2024 also marked the first year in the company's history. We did not issue corporate level capital. As I noted earlier, we did not reach our cash generation target. We are well positioned to achieve it coming out of the third quarter, but our guidance was back waited for the fourth quarter, and then we faced a number of headwinds at year end.
Most notable was the slowdown in project finance markets as investors paused to assess the impact of the election, which resulted in delays to some of the tax equity funds we anticipated to close in the fourth quarter.
In response to this market tightness, we need to slow our originations to match the pace of our own funding, and this further impacted our ability to generate cash due to a lack of origination moving through our system. As a reminder, we generate cash through a combination of recurring cash flows from our customers and through our ability to originate new customers and raise routine financing to support investment and growth.
Slide 6 provides an overview of our path forward. In just the first couple of months into the new year, we have taken further steps to reduce costs without sacrificing customer service or quality, adjusted dealer payment terms to better match our funding. And finally, we have signed the non-recourse asset-based loan facility. With these items accomplished, we are now focusing our attention on our late 2026 corporate debt maturities with a mid-2025 target resolution date.
With this, I'll turn the call over to Eric.
Eric Williams
Thanks, John, and good morning, everyone. Starting with slide 8, which highlights our full year financial and operational results, revenue came in at $840 million up 17% for the prior year. Our interest income of $150 million also rose 29%, and our principal proceeds from solar loans of $191 million grew by 21%.
Cumulative customers increased by 5% despite a reduction of 57,000 non-solar customers as the number of solar customers added, more than all said the non-solar loans we monetized in the second quarter of 2024. This growth in solar customers can be seen in the 20% increase in solar power under management and 53% increase in energy storage under management.
Battery adoption continues to climb as our battery attachment rate in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 33%, an all-time high for the traditionally seasonally light fourth quarter. For perspective, our battery attachment rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 24%.
Of course, over the course of 2024, Sunnova's stockholder equity per share increased to $14.65 representing an increase of 17% as value continues to transfer from redeemable non-controlling interest and non-controlling interest into stockholders equity.
Our net contracted customer value per share, however, decreased slightly by 4% to $24.22 due to the delays in receiving tax equity, as John discussed previously and selling nearly all of our non-core solar loans at a loss in 2024.
On slide 9, we have an overview of our 2024 capital markets highlights, and you can tell we've been busy. During the year, we issued seven securitizations versus 4 in 2023, totalling an additional $613 million in securitized assets with the increase driven by lease and PPA securitizations.
In 2024, our usage of tax equity also moved upward by 37%. Due to more lease and PPA growth and an increase in our annual weighted average ITC rate that grew from 31.5% in 2023 to 38% in 2024. This increase was driven by our greater utilization of ITC adders, most significantly related to domestic content, as we were the first to require beginning in September 2024, that all lease and PPA originations qualify for the domestic content adder.
Additional accomplishments for the year include closing the industry's first Puerto Rico only lease and PPA securitization, monetizing most of our non-solar loans, and retroactively collecting ITC adders associated with both 2023 and 2024 originations.
On slide 10, you'll notice that we've removed our 2025 and 2026 cash generation guidance as we work to address our 2026 corporate maturities. We believe it is appropriate to remove for now this guidance since the outcome and timing of addressing our upcoming corporate maturities will have a material impact on our cash generation for both years. We will certainly revisit this topic on future earnings calls.
With that, I'll turn the call back to John for closing remarks.
William Berger
Thanks, Eric. In summary, we delivered strong operational results in critical parts of the business, but our cash generation for the quarter and the year did not meet our expectations. We are concentrating our efforts on providing excellent service, working side by side with our valued dealers, streamlining our cost structure, improving working capital efficiencies, and closing more asset level financings. I founded Sunnova over 12 years ago.
I've seen challenging years and difficult cycles. 2024 was without question one of the hardest. We've had to make tough decisions and take decisive actions, and there's more work to be done. But the core fundamentals of our business are solid in a market that has strong growth opportunities to meet the growing demand for more power and consumers' needs for energy affordability and reliability.
I remain steadfast in my belief that the service we deliver and how Sunnova uniquely does it continues to be a valuable solution that creates value for all stakeholders. I also want to thank the Sunnova team and our dealers for their resilience and commitment. They show up every day to do their jobs well and deliver on our mission of powering energy independence. I am grateful for that.
Now let's turn the call over to the operator to open up for questions.
Operator
(Operator Instructions)
Philip Shen, Rock Capital Partners.
Philip Shen
Hey guys, thanks for taking the questions. You're going through a difficult time here. You named peer distress as a reason for capital providers to be cautious in your prepared remarks, but Ron is not having these issues. What do you think you could have done to have prevented the tax equity to slow down? What would you have done differently? And the mandate of domestic content in October of last year, exacerbate the situation.
William Berger
Hey Phil, it's John. Thanks. I think pure distress refers to some powers bankruptcy and the terms that have changed in the tax equity markets and the debt markets. Accordingly, services become something that obviously I've talked about founded the table on for over a decade, and very few candidly very few people really paid much attention to it in the capital markets.
Now there's a lot of attention on it. And so, there's a lot of changes that's gone into payment terms of capital whether it's tax equity, debt, and the mandating and looking at service, not just collecting the bills, but rolling trucks and getting things fixed, monitoring, and so forth, and that's why we had Paul join the call to answer any questions on that because we've seen a lot of success there.
Look, we got behind well over a year ago, we talked about that in previous quarters and candidly I think the election just caused, a lot of pausing. We still closed on tax equity and I think we're in pretty good shape right now for the next few months as we look at it is what we have and what we see in front of us and what we've closed on and so we look, to finally get ahead of that. I think this last securitization we did, we finally got ahead on securitizations too. So we were behind in the between the some power of bankruptcy in the election, it's been challenging in the marketplace.
However, I do see more constructive dialogue going on right now with incoming tax credit buyers, tax equity, securitization. The asset market has done pretty well, so I'm cautiously optimistic as we move forward here, even with an overall economy that's slowing, which candidly is helpful with regards to the cost of debt going down and as you know.
So the domestic content, that did nothing but help. That was a great call. It was a bold call, controversial, but at this point, I think everybody realizes that without the domestic content, without the domestic manufacturing, candidly politically we weren't in good shape and with it, I think that, I think the IRA changes will be much lighter than it would have been otherwise, so.
It was good to get ahead of that. It definitely helped on the cash generation. We still expect good cash generation. It's just simply at this point in time, it was prudent to remove guidance given the focus on dealing with the corporate debt maturities, and other than that it really was a good call, and we see more and more value in terms of cash generation and doing domestic content and our dealers now see that as well, even if there was scepticism. Initially they now see that that was the right call to make on the domestic content mandate. We expect our competitors to follow if they have not already.
Philip Shen
Okay, thanks, [Sean]. In terms of the tax equity fund, you talked about the $500 million fund, I think $75 flowed and then but that was in restricted cash, another $50 million has come through. Can you talk about when that might flow more easily and freely? We've been writing about the daily payments being restricted for some time now and so and the second part of this question is when do you expect to get caught up with the dealer payments? How much do you owe the dealers at this point? Do you need to get caught up on and when do you think that could actually happen as well?
William Berger
Yeah, sure. The -- again, the amount of capital we have and the type around the table does get us in, it does have us in a pretty good spot. We've got a couple of other things we want to do that's small around the edges, but we're, we see ourselves in a pretty good spot given our run rate right now with the loan facility that we announced that we signed.
Last night coupled with those sources of capital and a lot of the changes that we've made, in particular the dealer payment terms, cost reductions, and so forth. We feel pretty good you know that we're going to be able to get everything caught up here in the next few days and weeks. So we feel like we're in a good position and to bridging into more tax equity even if it takes us longer than we expect to close more tax equity and close more securitizations. We're prepared for that and taking care of the dealers.
So we're not where we want to be, but we're in a heck of a lot better spot than we were at the close of the year and we'll get things taken care of with our dealers, appreciate them and their patience with us, and looking forward to getting on a more regular pace here very shortly.
Philip Shen
Okay, got it. Well, one last quick question if I can. What triggered the going concern language specifically?
William Berger
Well, I think that the overall -- I'll let Eric answer this, but my, when you look at overall the concern around, hey, you must address the corporate maturities, and so I think that's there whether that's, explicitly mentioned or not.
The overall environment is terrible. I mean, it's the political environment, the capital markets, look at the equity trading off and so. That just gets everybody in a very bad mood candidly. I'm just going to shoot it straight and then the fourth quarter we struggled to close some things after the election. But again, I think things are, at this point in time the contrarian traitor in me is looking at this and going, okay, well, the baby's been thrown out with the bathwater, as they say, and I think that, now the sentiment is so negative that at some point here we've got to start getting constructive because what we do.
It is very fundamentally needed right now, the power business I've been in it for almost 30 years and for 22 of those years up until the last couple of years has been a bear market, a pretty significant one, and now we're seeing a lot of energy demand that everybody is well aware of from a variety of sources reshoring manufacturing, AI data centers, et cetera.
Electrification and transportation, et cetera. So when you look at the demands for what we sell energy service, it's going up and the equipment pricing is going to continue to go down and now cost of capital seems to be trending off as well.
So when you look at overall the picture fundamentally it's really good, but the perception and yes the election outcome and so forth. And some of those headlines that we always see coming out of the politicians is not helpful and does gender a negative sentiment. I would tell you that under the requirements that looking going concern.
I'm not sure we would ever have met, when you look at 12 months out, we always need capital. We always will need capital. We've always had that and so we feel like we have a plan candidly, we've been executing on that plan. You can see that you'll see some more announcements in the coming weeks is what we anticipate, and we feel confident we can execute on the plan. Others may feel differently, and I'll leave it at that.
Eric, you want to add anything?
Eric Williams
Yeah, no, I appreciate the question and we'll have our 10-K out this afternoon and it provides a little bit more detail. The simple answer is that we do the going concern analysis every single quarter and we're assessing whether or not there's substantial doubt. The technical terminology is to our ability to meet our needs over the next 12 months or 15 months from the financial statement date.
And John's right. We believe that having closed tax equity, a significant tax equity fund last year, resetting our dealer payment terms to match our inflows with our outflows, and then signing the loan building that basically closed the working capital GAAP as we enter 2024, '25, was a really powerful start, but we have to assess probabilities that loosely defined I think people look at as around 70% or greater that we'll be able to continue to meet our needs.
And I think the two things that we struggled with in the analysis that the management is still confident in, but if we're just to be objective, the ability to unilaterally control the addressing of our corporate maturities mid-year is something beyond our ability to, but we are actively working in that direction.
And then just the ability to unilaterally control closing additional tax equity. We have some great things in motion and are certainly confident in our ability to do so. You've seen the industry move to more asset level protections. You saw the cash restrictions and the last fund to provide some of those protections that we believe will enhance our ability to close that and so we're working in that direction.
We'll continue to assess this every quarter as we always have. And so if once we've passed the hurdle of addressing the corporate maturities, closing tax equity, there's certainly a chance that we could reach a different conclusion and adjust that disclosure in our 10-Qs accordingly. But for now, we felt that it was the right call at the balance sheet financial statement date to put this in.
Philip Shen
Okay. Eric, John, thank you. Best wishes for the coming months.
William Berger
Thank you.
Operator
Brian Lee, Goldman Sachs.
Tyler Bisset
Hey guys, this is Tyler Bissit on for Brian. Thanks for taking our questions. Can you start by just discussing the factors that led you to remove your guidance? You're always assuming and addressing the debt this year and had been articulating that last quarter when the guidance was reiterated. So what has changed since then?
William Berger
Yeah, we can't talk much about the corporate debt maturities. I will say that we are obviously very focused on, particularly after getting some of these, accomplishments closed out. But we're looking to tackle those corporate debt maturity sooner rather than later, and we'll leave it at that.
I think at this point in time, we can go back and take a look at the Q3 call and say, should we not have issued the guidance or continued guidance on cashed in knowing that we would need to tackle these corporate debt maturities, maybe so.
I would just remind everybody that was right prior to the election too. And we've had some other, tension in the markets clearly in capital markets since then. So I think really at this point in time it's a good time to just frankly just flush everything out.
Let's restart and let's go tackle this corporate debt and then get back at it and reset the table. I mean, why not, just get them where things are. So I think it was just the prudent thing to do and focus on taking care of the corporate debt maturities which clearly everybody's really focused on whether it's equity or credit.
Eric, anything you want to add to that?
Eric Williams
No. I think it was, we're just assessing momentum coming into the year and we put out, adjusted cost structure targets and so I think that we want to take a holistic approach to updating guidance once we have a little bit more clarity as to how these things are coming together.
Tyler Bisset
Okay. Thank you very much. And then just curious what trends you guys seeing with your weighted average ITC? I think you were expecting 43% in 4Q and sounds like you guys were close on that. So I guess what was the ITC in 4Q and I guess how are you seeing that trending so far in Q1?
William Berger
It has been in the low 40s and we do still see that continuing. The latest domestic content guidance was a little less than ideal, but not too bad, and we're working with that and we have some of the other a couple of batters as well. And so overall I think that's pretty close to where we thought it would be, maybe a little bit lighter if you look at over the year, but we're seeing the manufacturers adjust pretty quickly to the change in guidance, so I suspect it's largely going to come out where we -- where we think it will.
The one thing I will say on the policy side that it's heartening to see is that, the politicians, whether regardless of what party really love the 45 and domestic manufacturing and they should, but what goes with that is you need the ITC and the PTC to essentially have consumers buy all those wonderful pieces of equipment and so the combination of those and the need for the combination of those is now, I think, seen by a good majority of folks in Congress and in particular the Republican side of Congress that now leads Congress. So I think that's heartening to see and that's something to take note of.
Tyler Bisset
Alright, thank you very much. I'll hop back in queue
William Berger
Thanks.
Operator
Julien Dumoulin-Smith, Jeffrey.
Julien Dumoulin-Smith
Hey, good morning, team. Sorry to see all these challenges here, and thanks for the time. I appreciate it. Look, John, can you speak a little bit to what you are actually seeing on the ground and origination trends year-to-date and just, how the dealer community is responding here?
I mean, obviously we got the payment dynamics, but what are the origination trends and then maybe speak to that in tandem, I'm thinking about what you can do on further cost rationalization, just, steady the shift if you will. But just first on what you're seeing of late and how to just benchmark a little bit even year-to-date on how we should be thinking about '25.
William Berger
Yeah, Julien, dealers have been great overall. They've been really sticking with us and you know these are the times that it's easy to be partners in in the good times, but it's not so easy in the bad times, and they've done a really good job and look there are issues across the industry. I can talk to ours, but I can also see that the industry itself -- is definitely challenged. I mean there's no question about that.
But again, there's great unit economics when you look at cost structure and refer to it, we've been aggressively attacking it for over well over a year now, and we continue to see more opportunities take out costs, but at some point you just got to continue to grow the business and we generate cash on origination, not just recurring cash flows, which we have those in times of need kind of the piggy bank, if you will, and now is the time of need and that's why we did the loan facility and it'll help us greatly we expect anyways on the corporate debt maturities and addressing those.
So when you look at moving forward, I like the origination pace that we've been on to really kind of right size ourselves up to the amount of capital that we have and I think that what we'll see as we start to get these payments caught up as answered Phil's question in the next few days and weeks.
I think the origination will actually go up quite a bit, and we've had a very conservative forecast and so we're looking at things, that wouldn't be much different than where we were last year, maybe a little bit higher, and I kind of like to see where our dealers are coming out on that, and I expect that we'll hit that internal plan. So not so bad actually at the end of the day.
Julien Dumoulin-Smith
Got it. Understood. And then just can you speak a little bit to this, the dynamic or thought of a like a private yield code you talk about the piggy make, if you will. How would you set expectations about the ability to tap the those uncommitted cash flows? I mean, just what structure are you thinking right now? Will it take, and then how does that kind of morph into the question about dealing with some of these forthcoming maturities here?
William Berger
Yeah. We're open to what's best, and I think that's, why we retained JPMorgan to help us in that in that effort and so they're looking at all options at this point in time and we'll choose and choose quickly the best option. So I think that these cash flows, whether they're leases and PPAs are performing materially better than anybody thought they continue to do that.
And on the loans are really picking up prepayment speed significantly, and I think that with this recent back off in the 10 year and the mortgage rates and if that continues, these prepayments could really, move up in a very significant way. Right now we're materially ahead of where we thought we would be by this time last year on prepayments, I mean materially, and I think that goes even higher, so.
The loans are performing extremely well at this point in time, so those cash flows are cash flows, and people can argue about it. I know it's sometimes it's difficult to see in the financial statements, but the cash is really, truly there, and you can see as an example here we're able to put together, a loan facility to help us on the working capital side and get through the corporate debt maturity exercise, and I think it will obviously as I said earlier, help us on the corporate debt maturity exercise as well.
Julien Dumoulin-Smith
Alright. Thanks, John, and team. All the best. Good luck.
Operator
Dylan Misano, Wolf Research.
Dylan Nassano
Hey, good morning, everyone. I just want to go back to the comments on kind of during the quarter you saw lower originations kind of due to the slower financing.
It just it kind of sounds like it's creating a bit of a negative cycle where it's harder for you to execute on growth. So I guess just how long do you expect this kind of cycle to persist and how do you kind of break out of it? Is it a matter of kind of waiting for the tax equity market to catch up to you, or you have to kind of throttle growth until then? Thank you.
William Berger
Yeah, we -- in some ways it was intentional to do that if you don't have the capital coming in at the pace that you expect it to the prudent thing to do would be to slow that the rich nation down. And so we did do that. I wouldn't say it was all, a grand plan on our part, but it certainly has worked out where we've been able to get to a spot where I said, we've secured capital for the foreseeable future of the next few months from our plan, and so we feel pretty good about where we sit today.
So I think that, look, I expect that we would see an increased amount of origination, maybe significantly so over the course of the next few weeks, and it's just in time for the selling season. The fundamentals, as I mentioned earlier with the power rates and what's going on in the, US electric industry are very strong and the equipment is improving and dropping in costs continually so in its domestic content. So look, the unit economics are like I said earlier, the best the industry has ever seen. So I like where we sit and I like where the projected growth is and get some of our dealers taken care of, as I mentioned, and this loan facility was a big piece of that. I think it's upwards and onwards.
Eric Williams
Yeah, Dylan, I'd just add, we began the year with $540 million of tax equity capacity and so as John said, this term loan allows us to put funds back into the system to get the dealers moving. I think there's pent up energy that, as he said, enter the sales season and with capital to allow that to flow. I think we're in much better shape.
Dylan Nassano
Got it. Thank you. And then my follow up, so just to kind of circle back to the upcoming corporate maturities, and I know that you can't say a whole lot here, but I'm just curious, to what extent equity funding kind of has increased or decreased in terms of likelihood of needing to do that.
William Berger
I don't think that's changed at all. I mean, obviously the stock price has gone down materially, including this morning, but it certainly hasn't changed in terms of the cash flows, the contracted cash flows that we have and that we used to originally raise the existing corporate debt. So I don't think the environment is any different at all.
And maybe with these rates coming down over the last few weeks. That actually could be incremental and positive. I will say that the asset level market, as we saw in our securitizations and our competitors have saw in their securitizations is performing very well. And so that's extremely helpful to look at getting a deal that makes sense for everybody on the corporate debt side.
Dylan Nassano
Got it. Thank you.
Operator
Ben Kallo, Baird.
Ben Kallo
Hey, good morning, guys. Following up about maybe you just a little bit, but in the past you've talked about as the sales or something like that. Maybe, how much of discussions have you had in the past and I guess I know hindsight is not where you want to talk about right now, but, if there was discussions before, then why not act on it then and then you still think that that's an option for liquidity.
William Berger
Hey, Ben, John. The best thing to do is to borrow against the cash flows. It was the most economic. I would say that the asset market, we're still selling some loans on a forward flow basis and we're getting a margin there. But it's certainly something we look at, but it to us the numbers are pretty clear and you want to borrow against it. I think a lot of it is also in the servicing side of things and the importance of that so. We again, we're open to options, but it was pretty clear that this loan facility is the best economics.
Ben Kallo
Great, and then just one follow up, you have the press release and I know you've been cut, the right sizing the workforce for the environment. Is there more to do on that front or would you characterize it as kind of, you guys have gone through as much as much of that as possible?
William Berger
We've cut a lot. It's over 30% from our high, and we've grown the customer base significantly in that time frame and continue to grow the customer base. So I think that we are getting to a point where, there's diminishing returns, certainly more cuts, and but we're going to constantly look for them. I think on the capital market side, the cost of closing transactions and so forth, I think we could. Especially as we scale up the larger transactions that we have in front of us, I think that we can do more cutting there and those are material in size as far as our expenditures so. I think that that's probably more of the area that we can chop the wood, so to speak.
Ben Kallo
Okay, great. Thanks, guys. Good luck.
William Berger
Thank you.
Operator
Praneeth Satish, Sunnova.
Praneeth Satish
With Wells Fargo, but thanks. I'll just ask both of my questions together. So you kind of mentioned in your comments the latest rules on domestic content were less than ideal. Do you see the new rules impacting your sourcing decisions for batteries inverters or modules?
And then do you feel the need -- do you feel like you need to safe harbor products to lock in the existing domestic content rules before the April 15 cut off? And then finally if so how much capacity do you have to do safe harboring? Thanks.
William Berger
Yeah, on the safe harboring side, we could do that. We're taking a look at it, I think that again the manufacturers have been fairly nimble and so I think when I say less than ideal, we'd love to see some consistency and I know the manufacturers would. They make plans and then suddenly it changes. So we've got to see some consistency there, but they have been very agile and adaptive. So let's see, where all that comes out, but I think overall again where our domestic content percentage on the ITC is coming out is going to be fairly close to what we expected previously.
I don't know Paul, Rons, supply chain, any comments you want to make there?
Rodney McMahan
I think I'm just really proud of the fact that we took a stand and we brought the market and the industry really with us. Our partners and our OEMs have all been really supportive. They've all moved with us very quickly. They've changed plans. They've updated timelines, so we're all marching in the right direction. I'm also really proud of the fact that those actions really brought jobs back to the US, so we have a lot to be proud for there and I'm looking forward to seeing where we end up.

Hey, good morning. Thanks for the question here. Just on the residual cash flows you have, I think it, using some of that against the $185 million loan. I just want to understand how much is available for future loans or for acquisitions for you?
William Berger
Well, I think we'd be mostly focused on addressing the corporate debt maturities, and so I don't think we would be looking at adding any corporate level capital like we did last year for the first time in the company's history. So I think we're at, look, we're a pretty good size, company with the very large cash flow base and those cash flows are under levered compared to really almost anybody in the space, whether it's resi or utility scales what we've been told. So we've got pretty good assets, really good assets, and we're looking to focus that on addressing the corporate debt maturities.
Eric, you want to comment any more on that?
Eric Williams
No. I think holistically, we -- the adders provide a significant opportunity to increase cash flow. We're working to capitalize on that as we talked about. We've adjusted our cost structure, and so I think that as we enter the year, we're still focused on that asset level cash flow and don't see the need to look beyond that.
Maheep Mandloi
But just I think like last quarter you mentioned I think $135 million of rest cash flows or levered cash flows of exiting '24. Do you have a sense of how much could provide a sense of how much of that is used against, the term loan?
William Berger
The -- well, that does, it is comprised of emission credits, MSA service fees, and the residuals and the emission credits and MSA fees are not a part of this facility. So there's still quite a bit of cash and we see increasing amounts of levered cash flows moving forward, including this year. That number keeps bumping up frankly.
So that's due to the asset level performance increasingly is just better than expected and as more tax equity funds that we've had in our history flip and as the prepayment speed continues to gain to accelerate, I think all that pretends very well for the levered cash flows.
Maheep Mandloi
Get it done and just separately, are there any other maturities due in the Q1 or Q2? I'm thinking of the revolvers, ease of, or other facilities.
William Berger
We have the loan warehouse, but that's being addressed through and doing a securitization, and loans are a very small part of our business. I think at this point solar loans are less than 2% of our origination. So it's something we just do for our dealers and we'll probably frankly just get into selling those along with the other loans that we're doing for flow on.
Maheep Mandloi
Got it. I appreciate it. Thanks.
William Berger
Thanks, Maheep.

William Grippin, UBS.
William Grippin
Thanks very much. Just a quick one here, but on the going concern notice, do you think that could have an impact on customer willingness to sign new lease contracts or just given they're entering need to be comfortable entering, a 20 plus year contract, with you folks, and if so what steps could you take to potentially mitigate that impact?
William Berger
Yes, John, I don't think so. I think that this is an accounting term that candidly, I'm not sure how many people really understand you know what that is. We have a solid plan, as Eric pointed out, we're executing on that plan. It's not that we're going to execute, we're executing on it. We feel very good about it and frankly, we'd have a different opinion in terms of our outlook on the world of Sunnova and I think what customers really care about is great service, and we're doing that.
And so my commitment is that we will not degrade our service just because, that would save more and more money. I know there's some concern about that, but that is not the case. We want to make sure these assets are performing assets engender consumers to be happy. Happy consumers are paying consumers and paying consumers generate great asset level returns and cash flows, and no company is more dependent on those asset level returns and cash flows obviously than Sunnova.
So it's in our best interest to deliver great service to customers and that's at the end of the day that's what they really care about and I think that we have seen thus far, despite all challenges and so forth and negative headlines in the press with regards to our industry and the election outcome and all this other stuff that we have not seen a huge drop in demand from consumers. If anything, as these power bills keep getting higher and the outages keep getting more frequent, we're seeing more and more folks turn and look for a different solution that only our industry can provide against the monopolies.
So again, I see fundamentally the market's great. Capital markets not so great, but eventually the capital markets will connect up with the fundamentals, and that is that we're delivering a better interview service at a better price.
William Grippin
Thanks, [Sean]. Good luck to everybody in the months ahead here.
William Berger
Thank you.
Operator
So that was our final question and now we'll hand back over to John Berger for any final remarks.
William Berger
Thank you. It's a challenging time for our industry and the capital markets, but where it really counts in the marketplace, we're seeing a huge opportunity to deliver a better energy service at a better price. We have a plan to get back to success, and we expect to continue to execute on this plan and achieve that success. We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming earnings call. Thank you for joining us this morning. Bye.
Operator
Thank you everyone. Have a nice day. You may now disconnect.
