Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Organization

(a) Description of business

SunPower Inc. and Subsidiaries (“SunPower” or the “Company”) is the rebranded name of Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria”). The rebranding was effective April 22, 2025. References to the Company and SunPower include the same entity under its previous name of Complete Solaria.

The Company originally incorporated in Delaware under the name Complete Solaria, Inc. and is a residential solar installer that offers storage and home energy solutions to customers in North America. The Company was formed through Complete Solar Holding Corporation’s acquisition of The Solaria Corporation (“Solaria”). The Company is headquartered in Orem, Utah.

Complete Solar, Inc. (“Complete Solar”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 22, 2010. Through February 2022, the Company operated as Complete Solar, Inc., a single legal entity. In February 2022, the Company implemented a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”) in which the Company created and incorporated Complete Solar Holding Corporation (“Complete Solar Holdings”). As a result of the Reorganization, Complete Solar Holdings became the successor entity to Complete Solar, Inc. Subsequently, Complete Solar Holdings changed its name to Complete Solaria, Inc.

On July 18, 2023, the Company consummated a series of merger transactions contemplated by an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Freedom Acquisition I Corp. (“FACT”) (“Mergers”), equating to a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes. Under the reverse recapitalization of accounting, FACT was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was based on the Company having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, the Company’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and the Company’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers were treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Complete Solaria issued stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

On August 5, 2024, Complete Solaria entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) among Complete Solaria, SunPower Corporation and SunPower Corporation’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “SunPower Debtors”) providing for the Company’s purchase of certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes Business and Non-Installing Dealer network previously operated by the SunPower Debtors (“SunPower Acquisition”). The APA was entered into in connection with a voluntary petition filed by SunPower Corporation under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.§§ 101-1532. The SunPower Acquisition was approved on September 23, 2024, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company completed the acquisition in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter on September 30, 2024.

On September 21, 2025, Complete Solaria, Inc., and Complete Solar, Inc, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”) with Sunder Energy LLC (“Sunder”) and the seller, Chicken Parm Pizza LLC (“Seller/Member”), the sole member of Sunder. The acquisition of Sunder was completed on September 24, 2025, and the financial results of Sunder have been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 3 – Business Combinations for a description of Sunder.

The aforementioned acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations as more fully described in Note 3 – Business Combinations.

The Company completed its legal renaming to SunPower Inc. in the period ended September 28, 2025.

(b) Liquidity and going concern

Since inception through September 28, 2025, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s loss from continuing operations was $30.1 million for the thirty-nine-week period ended September 28, 2025. As of that date, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $442.6 million, total debt of $204.3 million, and cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $5.1 million. The Company anticipates that operating losses and negative operating cash flows may continue in the near term, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is actively pursuing plans to mitigate these conditions, including obtaining additional capital resources through equity or debt financing and leveraging support from significant shareholders when necessary. Historically, the Company has raised funds through private placements of equity securities, issuance of convertible notes and debt, and proceeds from mergers. During the year, funding from significant shareholders, has supported working capital requirements, and similar measures may be considered in the upcoming periods.

Management plans to proactively position the Company to access capital markets once eligible and pursue strategic opportunities to strengthen liquidity. Given the one-year eligibility requirement for Form S-3 after regaining current filer status, the Company will focus on alternative financing options to maintain flexibility and efficiency in capital raising.

However, there can be no assurance that these plans will be successful or that financing will be available on favorable terms. If adequate funding cannot be secured, the Company may need to reevaluate its operating plan, which could include reducing expenditure, extending payment terms with suppliers, liquidating assets, or suspending certain programs.

Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 28, 2025, and the results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025.

The Company’s operates on a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The Company’s fiscal year for 2024 ended December 29, 2024. The Company’s third fiscal quarters for 2025 and 2024 in this report on Form 10-Q ended on September 28, 2025 (“Third Quarter 2025”) and September 29, 2024 (“Third Quarter 2024”), respectively.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company reconciles cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that aggregate to the beginning and ending balances shown in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as follows*(in thousands)*:

As of
September 28, 2025December 29, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents$5,072$13,378
Restricted cash3,8413,841
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$8,913$17,219

(c) Estimated credit losses

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses, historical write-off experience, and current account knowledge, and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections over the time horizon that the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition when deemed necessary. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on the expected collectability of all accounts receivable, which takes into consideration an analysis of historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. The Company believes that its concentration of credit risk is limited because of the large number of customers, credit quality of the customer base, small account balances for most of these customers, and customer geographic diversification. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure relating to its customers.

The following table summarizes the allowance for credit loss activity as of and for the periods ended*(in thousands)*:

(d) Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Total contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows*(in thousands)*:

As of
September 28,December 29,
20252024
Contract liabilities current and noncurrent(11,426)(10,921)

The Company typically invoices its customers upon completion of set milestones, generally upon installation of the solar energy system with the remaining balance invoiced upon passing final building inspection. Standard payment terms to customers range from 30 to 60 days. When the Company receives payment, or when such payment is unconditionally due from a customer prior to delivering goods or services to the customer under the terms of a customer agreement, the Company records this deferred revenue as a contract liability. Most installation projects are completed within 12-months. As such, a significant portion of the Company’s contract liabilities is reflected within current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities for installation projects expected to be completed beyond 12 months are classified as noncurrent obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(e) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized for Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business when a customer obtains control of promised products and services and the Company has satisfied its performance obligations which is the date by which substantially all of its design and installation is complete for a fully functioning solar power system to interconnect to the local power grid.

Installation includes the design of a solar energy system, the delivery of the components of the solar energy system (i.e., photovoltaic system, inverter, battery storage, etc.), installation services and services facilitating the connection of the solar energy system to the power grid. The Company accounts for these services as inputs to a combined output, resulting in a single service-based performance obligation.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the products and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

Step 1. Identification of the contract(s) with a customer;

Step 2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contracts(s);

Step 3. Determination of the transaction price;

Step 4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations;

Step 5. Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Residential Solar Installation revenues

The Company’s Residential Solar Installation segment sells products through a network of installing and non-installing dealers and resellers, as well as its internal sales team. The Company’s contracts with customers include three primary contract types:

●Cash agreements – The Company contracts directly with homeowners who purchase the solar energy system and related services from the Company. Customers are invoiced on a billing schedule, where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.
●Financing partner agreements – In its financing partner agreements, the Company contracts directly with homeowners for the purchase of the solar energy system and related services. The Company refers the homeowner to a financing partner to finance the system, and the homeowner makes payments directly to the financing partner. The Company receives consideration from the financing partner on a billing schedule where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.
●Power purchase agreements and lease agreements – The Company contracts directly with a leasing partner to perform the solar energy system installation, and the homeowner will finance the system through a power purchase agreement (or lease), which is signed with the Company’s leasing partner. The Company considers the leasing partner to be its customer, as the Company does not contract directly with the homeowner and the leasing partner takes ownership of the system upon the completion of installation. The Company receives consideration from the leasing partner on a billing schedule where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.

New Homes Business revenues

The Company’s New Homes Business segment sells through a network of home builders as well as its internal sales team. The Company’s contracts with customers include two primary contract types:

●Cash agreements – The Company contracts directly with homebuilders who purchase the solar energy system from the Company and are the customers in the transaction. The Company’s customers are invoiced upon the completion of installation.
●Lease agreements – Prior to SunPower Debtor’s declaration of bankruptcy, certain homeowners had intended to lease a system from SunPower Debtors but were unable to consummate the transaction (as a result of SunPower Debtor’s declaration of bankruptcy). The in-process system inventory (installed on recently constructed homes) was acquired by the Company in connection with the SunPower Acquisition. The Company contracted directly with a leasing partner to facilitate the leasing of the system to the impacted homeowners. The Company considers the leasing partner to be its customer. Under the terms of the Company’s arrangement with the leasing partner, control is not transferred to the customer until the completed system is accepted by the customer. The Company receives consideration from the leasing partner following the acceptance of the system.

The Company’s performance obligation for both of these reportable segments is to design and install a fully functioning solar energy system. For all contract types (with the exception of New Homes Business Lease agreements), the Company recognizes revenue over time. The Company’s over-time revenue recognition begins when the solar power system is fully installed (as it is at this point that control of the asset begins to be transferred to the customer, and the customer retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the solar power system). The Company recognizes revenue using the input method based on direct costs to install the system and defers the costs of installation until such time that control of the asset transfers to the customer (installation). For New Homes Business Lease agreements, the Company considers the performance obligation to be satisfied at a point in time upon acceptance of the system by the customer.

Revenue is generally recognized at the transaction price contained within the agreement, net of the costs of financing, or other consideration paid to the customers that is not in exchange for a distinct good or service. The Company’s arrangements may contain clauses that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. Variable consideration is estimated at each measurement date at its most likely amount to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and true-ups are applied prospectively as such estimates change.

The Company records deferred revenue for amounts invoiced that are received in advance of the provisioning of services. In certain contracts with customers, the Company arranges for a third-party financing partner to provide financing to the customer. The Company collects upfront from the financing partner and the customer will provide instalment payments to the financing partner. The Company records revenue in the amount received from the financing partner, net of any financing fees charged to the homeowner, which the Company considers to be a customer incentive. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component.

Sunder

The Company earns revenue from contracts sold to customers for solar installations performed by third-party installation companies. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when Permission to Operate (“PTO”) is complete. The Company acts as an agent in these arrangements and records revenue on a net basis. The Company does not have significant financing components in its contracts. The Company does not provide warranty services and does not record a warranty reserve.

Costs to obtain and fulfill contracts

The Company’s costs to obtain and fulfill contracts, when recognized, associated with systems sales are expensed as sales commission and cost of revenue, respectively. In addition, incentives the Company provides to its customers, such as discounts and rebates, are recorded net to the revenue the Company has recognized on the solar power system.

Disaggregation of revenue

Remaining performance obligations

The Company elected the practical expedient not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for contracts that are less than one year in length.

Incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts

Incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts consist of sales commissions, which are costs paid to third-party vendors who source residential customer contracts for the sale of solar energy systems by the Company. The Company defers sales commissions and recognizes expenses in accordance with the timing of the related revenue recognition. Amortization of deferred commissions is recorded as sales commissions in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, deferred commissions were not material.

(g) Recent accounting pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements adopted

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” which provides an update to all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025. The impact of the adoption was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The objective of ASU 2023-09 is to enhance disclosures related to income taxes, including specific thresholds for inclusion within the tabular disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation and specified information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public companies starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this ASU in its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes of the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) (“ASU 2024-04”). The guidance in ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period if the entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 for that period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-04 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”, which removes various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements and intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Targeted improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” which is an update to remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”). This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

(h) Changes in related parties

Transactions with CRSEF Solis Holdings, LLC and its affiliates (“Carlyle”), have been disclosed as related party transactions until it ceased being a significant shareholder in the Company. Beginning in the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2025, transactions with Carlyle are no longer deemed related party transactions. The Company continues to engage in transactions Carlyle as it is a creditor of the Company’s 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes. Refer to Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities for additional information.

Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) ceased to be a related party, and as a result, beginning in the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2025, transactions with Polar are no longer deemed related party transactions. Transactions previously reported with Polar have been disclosed as related party transactions. The Company continues to have a forward purchase agreement obligation with Polar.

(3) Business Combinations

SunPower Acquisition

On September 30, 2024, commencing the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities from SunPower Debtors for an aggregate cash consideration paid of $54.5 million, net of $1.0 million of cash acquired. Prior to its declaration of bankruptcy SunPower Debtors was a solar technology and energy services provider that offered fully integrated solar, storage, and home energy solutions to customers in the United States through an array of hardware, software, and “Smart Energy” solutions. The financial results of the SunPower Acquisition have been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of the SunPower Acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations.

Transaction costs incurred in connection with the close of the SunPower Acquisition totaled $7.2 million and were expensed by the Company and included in general and administrative expenses within the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon a preliminary valuation. Consistent with previous disclosures, the Company disclosed that further adjustments to the Company’s inventory were expected in the thirty-nine week period ended September 28, 2025. As of September 28, 2025, the Company finalized the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The inventory acquired related to 1) work-in-progress at various stages of completion as of the acquisition date for which further analysis was required in order to determine which systems could be sold to a financing partner (for which the remaining units determined to be sellable to that partner were resolved during the thirteen-weeks ended September 28, 2025) and 2) completed systems that were acquired as of the acquisition date for which uncertainty existed due to unsettled matters with the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate (which were resolved in connection with the Company’s settlement with the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate). The final determination of the fair values of the inventory and intangibles upon settlement of these matters resulted in a revision to the inventory and intangibles with the offsetting adjustment to goodwill during the measurement period. The Company concluded that the finalization of the measurement period adjustment resulted in the recognition of $2.2 million of costs of goods in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025 that would have been recognized in the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2025 (which the Company concluded was not material to the financial statements for the thirteen- and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025).

The following table summarizes the provisional and final fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and measurement period adjustments*(in thousands)*:

Sunder Energy LLC Acquisition

On September 24, 2025 (“Closing”), the Company completed the acquisition of all assets and assumption of all liabilities of the Membership Interests of Sunder for aggregate consideration of $57.8 million. Sunder is a solar sales company. The Company acquired Sunder as a strategic acquisition to expand its overall market share and its penetration into more U.S. states. Per the terms of the MIPA, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interest of Sunder for (1) $20.7 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments; (2) a promissory note to the Member in the principal amount of $20.0 million (“Seller Note”); (3) and 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at the closing share price on September 24, 2025, of $1.71 per share), consisting of (i)3,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) subject to approval of such issuances by the Company’s stockholders, (x) an additional 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing and (y) a further 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing (“Deferred Consideration Shares”). In lieu of issuing the Deferred Consideration Shares, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the Member a cash payment equal to the number of Deferred Consideration Shares otherwise issuable by the Company multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on Nasdaq for the 30-trading day period endingtwo business days prior to the date on which the applicable Deferred Consideration Shares were otherwise issuable (“Cash in Lieu Amount”). If the Company elects to pay the Cash in Lieu Amount,50% of the Cash in Lieu Amount will be paid on the three-month anniversary of the date on which the applicable Deferred Consideration Shares were otherwise issuable, with the remaining 50% of the Cash in Lieu Amount payable on the 6 month anniversary of the date on which the applicable Deferred Consideration Shares were otherwise issuable. The shares of the Company’s common stock were valued at $17.1 million at the date of acquisition. The deferred consideration paid and payable in connection with the Sunder acquisition was accounted for on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 28, 2025, as (i) $5.7 million within Additional paid-in capital, (ii) $5.7 million within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and (iii) $5.7 million within Other long-term liabilities.

The total consideration is summarized as follows*(in thousands):*

Consideration
Cash$20,689
Seller note20,000
Equity 3.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock5,700
Contingent consideration arrangement – up to 6.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock11,400
Fair value of total consideration transferred$57,789

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. Due to the timing of the acquisition at the end of the September 28, 2025 quarterly period, the purchase price accounting remains open for the components of working capital, identification and valuation of intangibles and allocation of goodwill to reportable segments. The Company has elected the practical expedient within ASC 805-20-30-27 through 805-20-30-30 to recognize and measure contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 606 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers as if it had originated the acquired contract. Thus, the amount of any contract liabilities immediately prior to the acquisition will be the comparable amounts recognized in the determination of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company.

Ayna warrant

On June 17, 2024, a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Ayna Warrant”) was issued to Ayna.AI LLC (“Ayna”) at an exercise price per share of $0.01, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Ayna Warrant. At issuance, the fair value of the Ayna Warrant was determined to be $9.2 million, based on the intrinsic value of the Ayna Warrant and the $0.01 per share exercise price. The Ayna Warrant was set to expire on June 17, 2029. The issuance of the Ayna Warrant by the Company was in satisfaction of the compensation for services provided to the Company by Ayna under the terms of a statement of work (“Ayna SOW”), signed May 21, 2024 (and effective as of March 12, 2024), as incorporated into a master services agreement dated March 12, 2024. Under the Ayna SOW, Ayna provided services in connection with the anticipated return of the Company to cash-flow positive performance.

The Ayna Warrant was accounted for under ASC 718Compensation – Stock Compensation as it met the conditions for equity classification and therefore, the Ayna Warrant was not subsequently remeasured in future periods. The Company recognized expense of $3.8 million and $5.4 million in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 2024, respectively.

The Ayna Warrant became fully exercisable for the 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on September 9, 2024. The Ayna Warrant was exercised in full for cash of $0.06 million in January 2025.

Cantor warrant

In July 2024, the Company issued a warrant (“Cantor Warrant”) to a third-party service provider to purchase 3,066,141 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for services provided in the issuance of the July 2024 Notes (refer to Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities). The Cantor Warrant was immediately exercisable at a price of $1.68 per share and has an expiration date in July 2029. At issuance, the fair value of the Cantor Warrant was determined to be $1.4 million, of which $0.9 million was recorded as a debt discount and $0.5 million was attributable to the convertible notes issued in the Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities) and reduced the gain on the troubled debt restructuring recognized in the Company’s annual consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for fiscal 2024 as described in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities. The fair value of the Cantor Warrant was derived using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 55%; risk-free interest rate of 4.2%; expected term of 5 years; and no dividend yield. The fair value of this warrant was recorded within additional paid-in capital on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and has not been subsequently remeasured in future periods as it met the conditions for equity classification.

Carlyle warrant

In February 2022, as part of a debt financing arrangement with Carlyle , the Company issued Carlyle a warrant to purchase 2,886,952 shares of Legacy Complete Solaria Common Stock at a price per share of $0.01. The warrant contained two tranches, the first of which was immediately exercisable for 1,995,879 shares of common stock. The second tranche expired on December 31, 2022, prior to becoming exercisable. In December 2023, Carlyle was issued a warrant to purchase an additional 2,190,604 shares of the Company’s common stock related to an anti-dilution provision under the then-existing debt arrangement with Carlyle.

In July 2023, and in connection with the closing of the Mergers, the Company entered into the Carlyle Warrant Amendment (as defined in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities), Based on the exchange ratio included in the Mergers, the 1,995,879 outstanding warrants to purchase Legacy Complete Solaria Common Stock prior to modification were exchanged into warrants to purchase 1,995,879 shares of Complete Solaria Common Stock. The Carlyle Warrant Amendment required the Company to issue to Carlyle a warrant to purchase up to 2,745,879 shares of Complete Solaria Common Stock at a price per share of $0.01, which was inclusive of the outstanding warrant to purchase 1,995,879 shares at the time of modification. The warrant, which expires on July 18, 2030, provided Carlyle with the right to purchase shares of Complete Solaria Common Stock based on (a) the greater of (i)1,995,879 shares and (ii) the number of shares equal to 2.795% of Complete Solaria’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis; plus (b) on and after the date that was ten (10) days after the date of the agreement, an additional 350,000 shares; plus (c) on and after the date that was thirty (30) days after the date of the agreement, if the original investment amount had not been repaid, an additional 150,000 shares; plus (d) on and after the date that was ninety (90) days after the date of the agreement, if the original investment amount had not been repaid, an additional 250,000 shares, in each case, of Complete Solaria Common Stock at a price of $0.01 per share. The modification of the warrant resulted in the reclassification of previously equity-classified warrants to liability classification, which was accounted for in accordance with ASC 815Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation.

The change in the fair value of the liability classified Carlyle Warrant through June 30, 2024, was recorded within Other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in the fair value of the Carlyle Warrant resulted in income of $2.9 million in the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 2024.

On July 1, 2024, in connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Carlyle Warrant was modified, and the modification fixed the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Carlyle Warrant at 4,936,483. At the July 1, 2024, modification date, the Carlyle Warrant had a fair value of $7.3 million compared to its fair value of $6.6 million on June 30, 2024. The Company recognized this $0.7 million of expense related to the remeasurement of the Carlyle Warrant liability to its fair value within “Gain on Extinguishment of Debt” within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in its fiscal 2024 consolidated results. The modification of the Carlyle Warrant also resulted in the reclassification of the Carlyle Warrant from liability to equity classification, resulting in an increase to additional paid-in capital of $7.3 million and a reduction in the warrant liability of $7.3 million.

Carlyle exercised the warrant for shares of the Company’s common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Note payable to Seller – related party

On September 24, 2025, the Company issued a note payable to the sellers of Sunder (“Seller Note”) to the Seller/Member in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Sunder. The Seller Note has an original principal amount of $20.0 million. The Seller Note bears interest at 7.0% per annum, compounded at the end of each calendar quarter. Interest is due and payable concurrent with the payment of the principal balance. The maturity date under the Seller Note is the earlier of (i) May 15, 2026 and (ii) the date on which all amounts under the Seller Note otherwise become due and payable following an event of default. The Seller Note must also be repaid in the event of a change of control of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Seller Note includes customary events of default, including: (a) the Company’s failure to pay the Seller Note when due, (b) the Company’s voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, (c) the Company’s liquidation or dissolution, (d) a change of control of the Company, (e) the Company’s material breach of the covenants applicable to the Company under the Seller Note, subject to applicable cure periods, and (f) if any of the Company’s representations or warranties made in the Seller Note were untrue in any material respect when made. The Company concluded that since the sellers joined the Company and have a level of influence that is not insignificant, they are related parties of the Company and therefore the Seller Note is a related party obligation. Management concluded that the carrying value of the Seller Note approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligation. Interest expense recognized on the Seller Note was less than $0.1 million in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025.

Exchange Agreement

Of the total interest expense recognized on the Aggregate Revolving Loan, related party interest expense recognized was less than $0.1 million in each of the thirteen week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025, and September 29, 2024.

(10) SAFE Agreements

First SAFE

On January 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) (the “First SAFE”) with the Rodgers Massey Freedom and Free Markets Charitable Trust (the “Purchaser”), a related party, affiliated with Thurman J. Rodgers, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, in connection with the Purchaser investing $1.5 million in the Company. The First SAFE did not accrue interest. The First SAFE was initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, upon the closing of a bona fide transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital, pursuant to which the Company would have issued and sold shares of its common stock at a fixed valuation (an “Equity Financing”), at a per share conversion price which was equal to the lower of (i) (a) $53.54 million divided by (b) the Company’s capitalization immediately prior to such Equity Financing (such conversion price, the “SAFE Price”), and (ii) 80% of the price per share of its common stock sold in the Equity Financing. If the Company consummated a change of control prior to the termination of the First SAFE, the Purchaser would have been automatically entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds of such liquidity event equal to the greater of (i) $1.5 million and (ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of common stock equal to (a) $1.5 million divided by (b)(1) $53.54 million divided by (2) the Company’s capitalization immediately prior to such liquidity event (the “Liquidity Price”), subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the First SAFE. The First SAFE was convertible into a maximum of 1,431,297 shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming a per share conversion price of $1.05, which is the product of (i) $1.31, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%.

On April 21, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (“First SAFE Amendment”) that converted the First SAFE investment of $1.5 million into 4,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $0.36 per share, defined in the First SAFE Amendment as the product of (i) $0.45, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 19, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%. Upon conversion, the Company recorded a debit to the First SAFE Agreement of $1.5 million, a credit to Additional paid-in-capital of $1.9 million and recognized expense of $0.4 million within Other expense, net in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second SAFE

On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into a second SAFE (the “Second SAFE”) with the Purchaser, in connection with the Purchaser investing $3.5 million in the Company. The Second SAFE did not accrue interest. The Second SAFE was initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the initial closing of an Equity Financing transaction at a per share conversion price which was equal to the lower of (i) the Second SAFE Price, and (ii) 80% of the price per share of the Company’s common stock sold in an Equity Financing transaction. If the Company consummated a change of control prior to the termination of the Second SAFE, the Purchaser would have been automatically entitled to receive an amount equal to the greater of (i) $3.5 million and (ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $3.5 million divided by the Liquidity Price, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Second SAFE. The Second SAFE was convertible into a maximum of 3,707,627 shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming a per share conversion price of $0.94, which is the product of (i) $1.18, the closing per share price of its common stock on February 15, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%.

On April 21, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (“Second SAFE Amendment”) that converted the Second SAFE investment of $3.5 million into 9,722,222 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $0.36 per share, defined in the Second SAFE Amendment as the product of (i) $0.45, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 19, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%. Upon conversion, the Company recorded a debit to the Second SAFE Agreement of $3.5 million, a credit to Additional paid-in-capital of $4.4 million and recognized expense of $0.9 million within Other expense, net in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Third SAFE

On May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a third SAFE (the “Third SAFE”) with the Purchaser, in connection with the Purchaser investing $1.0 million in the Company. The Third SAFE is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the initial closing of a bona fide transaction or series of transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital, pursuant to which the Company issues and sells shares of its common stock in an Equity Financing transaction, at a per share conversion price which is equal to 50% of the price per share of the Company’s common stock sold in an Equity Financing. If the Company consummates a change of control prior to the termination of the Third SAFE, the Purchaser will be automatically entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds of such liquidity event equal to $1.0 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Third SAFE. The Third SAFE is convertible into a maximum of 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming a per share conversion price of $0.275, which is the product of (i) $0.55, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 13, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 50%. Given that the Third SAFE may be settled in cash or a variable number of shares, the Company has accounted for the instrument as a liability at its fair value.

The estimated fair value of the Third SAFE was $0.5 million and $0.4 million as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, based upon the assumptions disclosed in Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements.

The change in the fair value of the Third SAFE is recorded within Other expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in the fair value of the Third SAFE was expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million in the thirteen week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. The change in the fair value of the Third SAFE was expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million in the thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation

In July 2023, the Company’s board of directors adopted and stockholders approved the 2023 Incentive Equity Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan became effective immediately upon the closing of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement. Initially, a maximum number of 8,763,322 shares of SunPower common stock may be issued under the 2023 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of SunPower common stock reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, starting on January 1, 2024 and ending on January 1, 2033, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1)4% of the total number of shares of SunPower’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year, or (2) a lesser number of shares of SunPower common stock determined by SunPower’s Board prior to the date of the increase. The maximum number of shares of SunPower common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the 2023 Plan is three times the number of shares available for issuance upon the 2023 Plan becoming effective (or 26,289,966 shares).

Indemnification agreements

From time to time, in its normal course of business, the Company may indemnify other parties, with which it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from breach of representation, covenant or third-party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. In the opinion of management, any liabilities resulting from these agreements would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Following the consummation of the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of SunPower Debtors on September 30, 2024, certain matters pertaining to the acquisition were under dispute which included 1) amounts owed to and from the buyer and seller with respect to amounts in escrow related to the consideration transferred, 2) the right to the cash acquired in the acquisition, and 3) the right for the Company to sell and collect for certain solar systems that were acquired as a part of the acquisition that were sold or are to be sold to homebuilders within the New Homes Business. On June 25, 2025, all matters under dispute were resolved by the Company and the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate. Matters 1) and 2) were resolved such that no amounts will be paid (or received) by the Company. Matter 3) was resolved such that the Company has the right to sell the related inventory acquired and collect the underlying sales price for the sale of the solar system. In connection with each system sold, the Company is required to remit a portion of the sales price to the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate. The impact of the related settlement is not anticipated to be material.

Legal matters

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is not aware of any matters that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has a loss contingency for legal settlements of $9.2 million and $7.7 million recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at each of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

SolarPark litigation

In January 2023, SolarPark Korea Co., LTD (“SolarPark”) demanded approximately $80.0 million during discussions between the Company and SolarPark. In February 2023, the Company submitted its statement of claim seeking approximately $26.4 million in damages against SolarPark. The ultimate outcome of this arbitration is currently unknown and could result in a material liability to the Company. However, the Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. No liability has been recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the likelihood of a loss is not probable at this time.

On March 16, 2023, SolarPark filed a complaint against Solaria and the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (“the court”). The complaint alleges a civil conspiracy involving misappropriation of trade secrets, defamation, tortious interference with contractual relations, inducement to breach of contract, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law. The complaint indicates that SolarPark has suffered in excess of $220.0 million in damages.

On May 11, 2023, SolarPark filed a motion for preliminary injunction to seek an order restraining the Company from using or disclosing SolarPark’s trade secrets, making or selling shingled modules other than those produced by SolarPark, and from soliciting solar module manufacturers to produce shingled modules using Solaria’s shingled patents. On May 18, 2023, the Company responded by filing a motion for partial dismissal and stay. On June 1, 2023, SolarPark filed an opposition to the Company’s motion for dismissal and stay and a reply in support of their motion for preliminary injunction. On June 8, 2023, the Company replied in support of its motion for partial dismissal and stay. On July 11, 2023, the court conducted a hearing to consider SolarPark’s and the Company’s respective motions. On August 3, 2023, the court issued a ruling, which granted the preliminary injunction motion with respect to any purported misappropriation of SolarPark’s trade secrets. The court’s ruling does not prohibit the Company from producing shingled modules or from utilizing its own patents for the manufacture of shingled modules. The court denied SolarPark’s motion seeking a defamation injunction. The court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and granted the Company’s motion to stay the entire litigation pending the arbitration in Singapore. On September 1, 2023, the Company filed a Limited Notice of Appeal to appeal the August 2023 order granting SolarPark’s motion for preliminary injunction. On September 26, 2023, Solaria filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Appeal and will not appeal the Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order. Between August 2023 and March 2024, the parties were engaged in discovery negotiations and the Company produced documents to SolarPark. The Company produced its last set of documents on March 14, 2024. On August 14, 2025, the Court held a virtual hearing and revived the case. SolarPark subsequently amended the complaint, and the Company responded on October 14, 2025, with a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The Company also believes it has valid counterclaims to pursue against SolarPark. The litigation remains ongoing.

No liability has been recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the likelihood of a loss is not probable at this time.

Siemens litigation

On July 22, 2021, Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. (“Siemens Government Technologies”) filed a lawsuit against Solaria Corporation in Fairfax Circuit Court (the “Court”) in Fairfax, Virginia. On July 27, 2023, Siemens Government Technologies moved to amend the complaint to add Siemens Industry Inc. as a co-plaintiff. This motion was granted on August 25, 2023. On October 23, 2023, Siemens Government Technologies and Siemens Industry Inc. (collectively, “Siemens”) and Solaria Corporation stipulated to add Solar CA, LLC as a co-defendant. Solaria Corporation and Solar CA, LLC (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the lawsuit, Siemens alleged that the Subsidiaries breached express and implied warranties under a purchase order that Siemens placed with the Subsidiaries for a solar module system. Siemens claimed damages of approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees.

On February 22, 2024, the Court issued an order against the Subsidiaries which awarded Siemens approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of the amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees, the amount of which would be determined at a later hearing. On March 15, 2024, Siemens filed a motion seeking to recover $2.67 million for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-and post-judgment interest. The Company opposed Siemens’ motion for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre- and post-judgment interest on April 5, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Court entered a final order which awarded Siemens a total of $2.0 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company has appealed these judgments.

In addition to the above, on August 19, 2024, Siemens applied for the enforcement to a sister state judgment in the Superior Court of Alameda, California and the court entered a judgement in favor of Siemens. On December 9, 2024, Siemens moved to amend the judgment to add the Company as a judgement debtor. The Subsidiaries opposed the Siemens motion. On June 30, 2025, the California court found that the Company should be added as a judgment debtor party in California. In addition, the parties argued the appeal of the underlying Virginia litigation on July 24, 2025. On September 23, 2025, the Virginia Court of Appeals issued a decision on the appeal, affirming the original lower court decision and judgment against the Company. The Alameda County litigation has continued with several upcoming deadlines related to the already-noticed appeal and Siemens’ motion for fees and costs. The Company continues pursuing global settlement negotiations with Siemens.

The Company recognized $6.9 million as a legal settlement loss related to this litigation as of December 31, 2023. In the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025, the Company recorded an additional $1.1 million of expense within discontinued operations in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) to bring the liability for legal settlement with Siemens to $8.0 million as of September 28, 2025. This liability is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded expense of $2.0 million within discontinued operations in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) in the thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 2024, for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgment interest, and this liability was also recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2025, and December 29, 2024.

On December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Siemens to resolve a case in the Court and other related cases as well as to resolve potential claims related to Siemens’ Atwater Wastewater Treatment Plant. In exchange for full releases, the Company agreed to pay Siemens $9.5 million spread across four payments to be made at the end of each calendar quarter during 2026. If the Company successfully engages in any form of new financing or new debt worth $1.0 million or more, or successfully obtains shareholder approval for the issuance of additional shares in connection with the raise of additional funds and/or any merger or acquisition activity, the next due quarterly payment to Siemens (if any) becomes immediately due and payable. The settlement payment to Siemens is secured by a first-priority continuing security interest in $9.5 of Company collateral. This security interest is reduced on a one-to-one basis as the settlement payments are made.

Letters of credit

The Company had $3.5 million of outstanding letters of credit related to normal business transactions as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. These agreements require the Company to maintain specified amounts of cash as collateral in segregated accounts to support the letters of credit issued thereunder. As discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the cash collateral in these restricted cash accounts was $3.8 million at each of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

(13) Income Taxes

As a result of the Company’s history of net operating losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. For each of the thirteen week periods ended September 28, 2025, and September 29, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense ofzero. For the thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025, and September 29, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense ofzero andeleven thousand dollars, respectively.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including accelerated deductions for capital expenditures, expensing of research and development costs incurred in the US, and increased deductibility of interest expense. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of OBBBA, but does not expect a material provision would impact the effective tax rate.

(14) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate net loss per share. No dividends were declared or paid in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The computation of basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is inclusive of warrants with an insignificant exercise price. The Company’s calculation of the weighted average shares outstanding is inclusive of 234,610 warrants with an insignificant exercise price (which assumes that the warrants were outstanding as of the beginning of the period or the date of the grant, whichever is earlier) for each of the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025, respectively. The computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 because the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

The following table presents the potential common shares outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as of the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive:

(15) Segment Information

The segment information is presented on a basis that is consistent with the Company’s internal management reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM manages the Company and reports financial results based on three reportable segments which are the same as the Company’s operating segments. The CODM evaluates the performance of these reportable segments and allocates resources to make operating decisions based on certain financial information, including segmented internal income/(loss) prepared on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP. The measurement criteria is based on their operating revenue and operating income (loss) and excluding any corporate costs which are not allocatable to the operating segments. The CODM’s measurement criteria does not include segment assets. During the periods presented, the Company reported its financial performance through the following three reportable segments; Residential Solar Installation, New Homes Business and Sunder.

Residential Solar Installation. This segment performs solar system, storage and battery installations for residential homeowners.

New Homes Business. This segment is new, as a result of the SunPower Acquisition which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company developed a method to allocate direct expenses for the respective reportable segments. This segment performs solar system installations for new home builders.

Sunder. This segment is new beginning in fiscal year 2025, as a result of the Sunder Acquisition which occurred late in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. This segment’s principal activity is a solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States.

Acquisition of Ambia Energy LLC

On November 11, 2025, the Company announced that it signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Ambia Energy, LLC (“Ambia”) located in Lindon, Utah in exchange for approximately $37.5 million of equity in SunPower, subject to customary closing conditions.

On November 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Ambia and Ambia Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the sole member of Ambia (the “Member”). The Company, Ambia and the Member completed the closing under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Ambia Closing”) on November 21, 2025. At the Ambia Closing, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Ambia from the Member for: (a)10,243,924 shares (the “Closing Consideration Shares”) of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), issued at the Ambia Closing to the Member; and (b) the agreement to issue an additional $9.375 million of shares of Common Stock on the six-month anniversary of the Ambia Closing and an additional $9.375 million of shares of Common Stock on the 12-month anniversary of the Ambia Closing (such additional shares of Common Stock, the “Post-Closing Consideration Shares”). The issuance of the Post-Closing Consideration Shares is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders following the Ambia Closing in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)). The actual number of Post-Closing Consideration Shares issuable by the Company on the six- and 12-month anniversaries of the Ambia Closing will be determined based on the 20-day trailing volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock after market close on the business day immediate prior to the issuance date of the applicable shares (the “VWAP Value”); provided that the VWAP Value for the calculation of the actual number of Post-Closing Consideration Shares issuable by the Company will not be more than $2.8102 per share or less than $1.4988 per share. Additionally, the number of Post-Closing Consideration Shares issuable by the Company is subject to adjustment pursuant to customary working capital and balance sheet adjustment terms and subject to offset for certain indemnifiable damages in accordance with the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the Closing Consideration Shares and the Post-Closing Consideration Shares for resale to the public under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Membership Interest Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnities, in each case under the circumstances and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. The indemnification obligations under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement are subject to customary baskets and caps. The Company’s primary source of recovery for indemnifiable damages is set off of such damages against the Post-Closing Consideration Shares issuable by the Company following the Ambia Closing.

The initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete at this time due to the proximity of the Ambia Closing to the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
