Cost of revenue was $267.7 million and $224.9 million in the three months ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively. Cost of revenue includes actual cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead incurred for revenue-producing units shipped, associated warranty costs and impairment charges. The cost of revenue has remained high as a result of the impairment charges taken up during the quarter of $136.8 million in connection to inventory write-downs and $61.3 million for impairment charges relating to its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets as the recoverable value was assessed to be lower than the book value. This was further compounded by higher excess capacity costs of $1360万 attributable to the temporary idling of our manufacturing facilities as a result of the end of life of certain technology.
There are two key reasons for the inventory write-downs. Firstly, due to the ongoing CBP detention, the Company has made inventory provisions of $79.6 million to provide for the possibility that the modules intended to be imported into the U.S., may have to be re-directed to be sold outside of the U.S. at prices lower than cost, notwithstanding that the Company is still in the midst of protesting against the continued detention of its products by CBP. Secondly, the Company has booked an inventory write-down of $57.1 million as it continues to face downward pressure on the net realizable value as a result of the industry-wide oversupply in the global DG market,

competition from new technology due to the shift in customer demand from PERC to TOPCon technologies, and tariffs implemented in certain jurisdictions.
Nine Months Ended September 29, 2024 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 1, 2023
During the nine months ended September 29, 2024, we recognized revenue from sales of modules and components of $413.7 million with shipments of 1,213MW, of which $31.4 million, or 6.8%, represented sales of solar modules to SunPower. This represents the remaining volume committed under the SunPower Settlement Agreement which was fully delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company has also recognized revenue arising from termination of a customer contract. During the nine months ended October 1, 2023, we recognized revenue from sales of modules and components of $89430万 with shipments of 2,209MW, of which $17490万 or 19.6%, represented sales of solar modules to SunPower. For the nine months ended September 29, 2024, other than transactions with SunPower, there were two other customers which accounted for at least 10% of revenue, including a one-off payment in connection with the termination of a customer contract. For the nine months ended October 1, 2023, other than transactions with SunPower, there was one other customer which accounted for at least 10% of revenue.
Of the total $1050万 in interest expense, incurred during the three months ended October 1, 2023, $480万 relates to the Amended 1L Notes, $410万 relates to the Green Convertible Notes due 2025, $60万 relates to the interest expense on significant financing component on prepayment received. This was partially offset by interest income from the Company''s investments, net of interest expense in connection to other debt arrangements.

Gain on extinguishment of debt of $3530万 incurred during the nine months ended September 29, 2024 arose from the substantial modification of the terms of our Amended 1L Note and some Green Convertible Notes which were exchanged into 2nd Lien Notes with exchange warrants issued in June 2024. Included in such amount is the difference in the carrying amount of the old debt and fair value of the modified debt, offset against write-off of unamortized debt issuance cost and discount for these notes, and associated cost to lenders for the modification.
Other, net for the nine months ended September 29, 2024 primarily comprised of a $500万 loss on fair value accounting for the investor and exchange warrants, $2140万 write-off of capital expenditure prepayment due to certain limitations on the acquisition of property interests that the Company is subject to pursuant to the National Security Agreement entered in November 2024, $1610万 loss on the remeasurement of the Prepaid Forward associated with the Green Convertible Notes, $790万 impairment of goodwill, $270万 loss on foreign exchange, $220万 litigation cost borne by the Company for an unsuccessful claim against certain suppliers.
