Current report
On May 28, 2025, we entered into a plan of merger and reorganization agreement with Heliogen, a renewable-energy technology company that provides solutions for delivering low-carbon energy production by combining commercially proven solar technologies with thermal systems and storage expertise. The transaction was completed on August 8, 2025, under which Heliogen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Current report
The total consideration transferred consisted entirely of our class A common stock, issued to Heliogen shareholders at an exchange ratio of 0.9591 shares of our class A common stock for each share of Heliogen common stock, resulting in the issuance of 6,217,612 class A common shares. No contingent consideration was included. In connection with the merger, all outstanding Heliogen SPAC warrants and RSUs were automatically accelerated and fully vested and were settled in the same equity consideration, net of applicable tax withholding. All stock options and commercial warrants were out-of-the-money and canceled with no value.
Current report
We accounted for the Heliogen acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” and allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill.
Current report
The acquisition of Heliogen aligns with our strategy to expand our clean-energy platform beyond residential markets into large-scale commercial and industrial energy generation and storage. Additionally, Heliogen is expected to complement our existing solar operations, create operational synergies, and broaden market reach. With the acquisition of Heliogen, we intend to enter into agreements to provide engineering services to support long-duration energy storage projects.

Net Revenues
Current report
Net revenues increased by approximately $4.2 million from $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The primary reason for the increase is due to increased installations during the current period and a new pricing agreement with Solar Leasing entered into during the fourth quarter of 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no revenues generated from Heliogen.

Cost of Revenues
Current report
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.3 million, from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to less amortization of intangible assets during the current period.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million from $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation expenses and bad debt expense offset by increased payroll costs associated with additional staffing, higher professional fees associated with being a public company, and new costs as a result of the acquisition of Heliogen.
Current report
Other income (expense), net increased by $0.1 million from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased other income, offset by less interest expense during the current period.

Net Revenues
Current report
Net revenues decreased by approximately $3.8 million from $54.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was a decrease in installations during the current period, offset by a new pricing agreement with Solar Leasing entered into during the fourth quarter of 2024. The comparative period also benefited from deferred revenue at the end of 2023, that was recognized in the first quarter of 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no revenues generated from Heliogen.
Current report
Cost of Revenues
Current report
Cost of revenues decreased by $8.7 million from $30.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in installation revenues. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenues improved from 56.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 43.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This decline was driven by an increase in the average selling price of our contracts to our customers compared to the prior year as a result of a new pricing agreement with Solar Leasing entered into during the fourth quarter of 2024 and another third-party pricing agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2024.
Current report
Other income, net increased by $0.2 million from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased other income and less interest expense during the current period.
