Current report
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported total revenue of $28.2 million, representing a 42.8% decrease compared to $49.3 million in fiscal 2024. This contraction was primarily driven by a material reduction in orders from U.S. Federal government agencies. While federal customers accounted for more than 60% of total revenue in 2023 and 30% in 2024, they represented less than 5% of total revenue in 2025. Management attributes this decline to a shift in federal executive priorities and the subsequent reversal of prior electrification initiatives. Additionally, the expiration of federal tax credits and other purchase incentives for electric vehicles has further constrained domestic demand for certain charging products. In response to these headwinds, the Company has realigned its sales and marketing infrastructure to target corporate, municipal, and international markets. These efforts have yielded a significant increase in sales to domestic and international commercial entities, as well as non-U.S. government agencies, which has partially mitigated the loss of U.S. Federal revenue. Despite the reduction in direct federal vehicle procurement, the Company continues to supply certain energy storage products to federal agencies via third-party relationships. While the Company believes that federal demand for transportation electrification infrastructure may resume in future cycles, we cannot provide assurance as to the timing or certainty of such a recovery. We remain focused on our diversified growth strategy and have implemented new marketing protocols to capture broader market share. Although our prospective customer pipeline has increased during the current period, the conversion of these opportunities into realized revenue remains subject to inherent market risks and timing uncertainties.
Current report
In 2025 the Company’s strategically shifted its focus toward commercial customers by expanding its direct sales force and reseller network in response to a decline in federal revenue opportunities as a result of changes in U.S. government programs. Our non-government revenue grew from 38.2% of total revenue in 2024 to 72.0% in 2025, reflecting meaningful progress in our commercial diversification strategy, despite this shift, total revenue decreased by 42.8%. Our pipeline of prospective customer orders has increased during the same period, although we cannot be sure of when, or if, those prospective orders will turn into actual sales.
Current report
International customers comprised 42% of the revenues as of December 31, 2025 verses 25% for the year ended December 31, 2024 as a result of our continued integration of our Serbian acquisitions. Revenues derived from non-government commercial entities increased by 8% year-over-year and represent approximately 72% of total revenues in 2025.
Current report
For the twelve months ended, December 31, 2025, the Company’s sales to federal government customers represented 4% of revenues versus 32% of revenues in 2024. State and local government customers represented approximately 24% of revenues versus 30% of total revenues in 2024, reflecting increased growth in our non-government customer base.
Current report
We continue to invest in sales personnel, marketing resources, and new product development, while also expanding our geographic footprint, with the goal of reducing reliance on large individual orders of our EV ARC™ product from federal agencies, while continuing to pursue those opportunities.
Current report
Order timing may continue to be uneven due to customer procurement processes, approval timelines and budget cycles; however, we believe that increased global EV adoption, continued expansion into international markets and the marketing of our new products will reduce the impact of variability in individual order timing on our overall business.
Current report
We have in place a Multiple Award Schedule Contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) that helps streamline purchases from Federal agencies and state and local governments. In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Beam Global a federal blanket purchase agreement (BPA) in April 2022 which provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement process for procuring EV ARC™ systems. In Q2 2025, the contract was extended until October 31, 2030. Although this purchasing contract is not being regularly used by U.S. Federal government agencies, we have made sales to other non-Federal government entities in the U.S. using this contract vehicle and we believe that having this contract extended through 2030 and also having it made available to non-Federal government agencies has assisted us in closing sales in 2025 and will continue to assist in streamlining our selling processes in 2026. To the extent the federal government resumes procurement of electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure, we believe this contract provides a streamlined and efficient channel to sell to the federal government, which operates the largest fleet in the world.
Current report
On November 12, 2025, the Company announced the was awarded a cooperative purchasing contract by Sourcewell, expanding its offerings to U.S. military, expanding its offerings to U.S. military, state and local government agencies, and higher education institutions across North America. Sourcewell combines the purchasing power of over 50,000 participating public agencies, offering hundreds of awarded supplier contracts across public sector and educational organizations to procure the Company's sustainable infrastructure and energy storage solutions through a ready-to-use, negotiated, Sourcewell-vetted contract, streamlining the public purchasing process.
Current report
The Company reported gross profit of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross margin was 12.5% in 2025 compared to 14.8% in 2024, representing a decline of 2.3 percentage points year-over-year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to lower sales volume, which resulted in reduced absorption of fixed overhead costs. Our unit economics continue to improve, even in the face of reduced volumes.
Current report
Gross profit included non-cash depreciation and intangible amortization of approximately $3.0 million in 2025 and $3.2 million in 2024. Excluding these non-cash items, adjusted gross margin improved to 23.0% in 2025 compared to 21.2% in 2024. We expect our costs of goods sold to continue to decline over time as we continue to implement lean manufacturing process improvements, engineering design changes and operational efficiencies, as well as recognizing synergies from our acquisitions. Many of the components and sub-assemblies integrated into our products are manufactured by third parties. This approach is consistent with our strategy to leverage the investments made by large, well-funded suppliers in improving performance and reducing costs of key components, which we integrate into our finished products. We continue to evaluate opportunities to outsource additional components and sub-assemblies where doing so may be cost-effective, which we believe could further reduce our manufacturing costs, improve gross margins, and significantly increase the potential production output from our factory. Furthermore, we believe we are seeing increase interest in our highly specialized energy storage products, which in many cases, result in revenues that come with higher gross profits. As these volumes increase, the impact of the higher gross margin percentages from these revenues should, we believe, have a positive impact on our overall gross profit. Order timing may continue to result in quarter-to-quarter variability in revenue over the long term, we expect revenue growth to be driven by expansion of our product offerings, increased geographic reach, and growth in demand for EV charging infrastructure, electrified transportation, and mobility energy storage and security and smart cities infrastructure products. We believe that increased demand, combined with our cost-reduction initiatives, will contribute to continued improvement in our gross margins over time. Beam Europe has the capability to perform certain manufacturing and operational activities that are currently outsourced in the U.S. In combination with a generally lower operating cost environment in Serbia, we believe this may allow us to produce certain products in Europe at a lower cost than in the U.S., even as we continue to pursue cost reductions in our U.S. operations.
Current report
*Gross Profit/(Loss).*The Company reported gross profit of $3.5 million, a 12.5% gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $7.3 million, a 14.8% gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024. The 2.3 percentage point year-over year decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to lower sales volume, which resulted in reduced absorption of fixed overhead costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. Gross profit included non-cash depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.0 million in 2025 and $3.2 million in 2024. The amortization of intangible assets relates to the AllCell acquisition. Because of our improving unit economics throughout 2025, and excluding these non-cash expenses, gross margin improved in 2025 1.8 percentage points to 23.0% from 2024, 21.2%. We expect that as revenue grows, the Company’s ability to absorb fixed overhead costs will improve, which may have a positive impact on gross margins.
Current report
*Operating Expenses and Impairment of Goodwill.*Total operating expenses were $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating expenses for 2025 included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $10.8 million. Excluding this impairment charge, operating expenses were approximately $20.3 million for 2025, compared to $19.0 million in the prior year. The Company believes the goodwill impairment reported during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is not a negative indicator of historic or current operating results and not a negative indicator of the future performance of our acquired entities or the Company in general have taken and continue to take significant steps to diversify our geographical reach and product offerings while focusing on strategic growth. The Company believes that the resulting non-cash charge has no impact on the Company’s cash flows or available liquidity. During the three months ending March 31, 2025, the Company continued to experience a decline in its stock price resulting in the total market value of its common stock outstanding (“market capitalization”) being less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Management believes this decline in market value is due to a variety of factors, as further described below, but not the actual value of the acquired entities which included the goodwill which is being impaired. Considering the circumstances and indicators of potential impairment described above, Management performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2025. Management first considered whether any impairment was present for the Company’s long-lived assets, concluding that no such impairments were present. The Company does not have any indefinite lived assets other than goodwill.
Current report
The Company concluded that the sustained stock price decline in the Company’s common stock and its market capitalizations as of March 31, 2025 was a triggering event which required Management to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Management determined the value of goodwill largely based on the Company’s stock price and not on the activities or performance of the acquired entities. The results of the Company’s test for impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2025, utilizing recent trends in stock price over a reasonable period, created a condition in which the accounting rules determined that the fair value of goodwill fell below its book value. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment procedures, the Company recorded a $10.8 million goodwill impairment for the single reporting unit during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current report
Our working capital balance at December 31, 2025 was $8.9 million. Working capital primarily consists of cash, inventory, accounts receivable, net of accounts payable, and accrued expenses. In general, we expect to convert each of these short-term assets into cash within 180 days which allows us to operate with a lower cash balance on any specific date.
Current report
Current assets decreased to $21.0 million at December 31, 2025 from $27.1 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in inventory and $3.6 million decrease in cash. Current liabilities decreased to $12.1 million at December 31, 2025 from $13.3 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in accounts payable, $0.2 million decrease in current operating lease liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in accrued expenses, $0.6 million in sales tax payable, and $1.0 million of current deferred revenue. As a result, our working capital decreased to $8.9 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $13.8 million at December 31, 2024.
Current report
The Company has continued to invest in sales and marketing initiatives intended to increase revenue and expand market awareness of its products. These efforts which were primarily focused on sales to federal and other government entities contributed to revenue growth of 144% from 2021 to 2022 and 206% from 2022 to 2023. Beginning in 2024 we started seeing a decline in revenue which we believe is primarily attributable to many of our customer targets starting to assume that there would be a change in the political administration and therefore a change in the federal government’s appetite for renewable energy. These declines continued in 2024 and after. Although revenues decreased by 43% from 2024 to 2025, the Company believes that its continued investment in sales and marketing has strengthened its market presence and expanded its pipeline of prospective opportunities. As revenues increase, the Company expects fixed overhead costs to be spread across a greater number of units, which may reduce the per-unit cost of production. In addition, the Company has realized material cost reductions from operational synergies, particularly in steel and battery cell sourcing, and expects these improvements to continue. These cost reductions, together with ongoing engineering and manufacturing process improvements, are expected to support improvements in gross margin over time.

We believe that there is a clear need for a rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement. Unlike grid-tied installations which require general and electrical contractors, engineers, consultants, digging trenches, permitting, pouring concrete, wiring, and ongoing utility bills, the EV ARC™ system can be deployed in minutes, not months, and is powered by renewable energy so there is no utility bill. We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment or provider and integrate best of breed solutions based upon our customers’ requirements. For example, our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products have been deployed with Chargepoint, Blink, Enel X, Electrify America and other high quality EV charging solutions. We can make recommendations to customers, or we can comply with their specifications and/or existing charger networks. Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves. We do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it.

We believe our chief differentiators for our electric vehicle charging and energy security infrastructure products are:
Previous report
Beam’s revenue as of December 31, 2024 was $49.3 million compared to $67.4 million in 2023. Although a decrease year over year, this was a 124% increase over December 31, 2022 revenue of $22.0 million. We believe that the decrease in revenue is a result of order timing, uncertainty in the U.S. government’s zero emission vehicle strategy related to, and following the presidential election and evolving certification requirements for energy storage systems requiring updates to our EV ARC™ products which we believe will be completed in the first quarter of 2025. These matters have particularly impacted our larger federal customers and we do not believe that they signify any fundamental reduction in demand for our products. Our pipeline of prospective customer orders has increased during the same period, although we cannot be sure of when, or if, those prospective orders will turn into actual sales. As we have continued investment in our sales resources, in September of 2024, we hired a new Vice President of Sales in the U.S. and a new Director of Channel Partnerships in Europe to drive growth in commercial and government sectors. Revenues were diverse across federal, state and local governments, as well as enterprise and education sector customers. International customers comprised 25% of the revenues as of December 31, 2024 verses 15% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenues derived from non-government commercial entities increased by 229% for the twelve months from 2023 to 2024 and were 38% of total revenues in 2024. For the twelve months ended, December 31, 2024, the Company’s sales to federal, state and local governments represented 62% of revenues verses 80% of total revenues in 2023. We continue to invest in sales employees, marketing resources, diversifying our product portfolio with new product offerings and expanding our geographic footprint to reduce our reliance on single large orders of our EV ARC™ product by federal agencies, although we believe that that opportunity still exists. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to the timing of customer approvals or budget cycles, however we believe that as EV adoption increases and our new and existing products are brought to larger international audiences, our business will be less impacted by specific variations in order timing.

We have in place a Multiple Award Schedule Contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) that helps streamline purchases from Federal agencies and state and local governments. In addition, the General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Beam Global a federal blanket purchase agreement (BPA) which provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement process for procuring EV ARC™ systems. We have continued to invest in our federal business channel, which has helped us to identify federal opportunities and increased awareness of our product and outreach with federal agencies. In the beginning of 2024, we saw strength in federal orders with a new order announced in January 2024 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Army Material Command (AMC) for $7.4 million. A number of federal tax incentives remain, like the 30% federal solar tax credit and Rule 179 accelerated depreciation, which provide strong financial incentives for many of our targeted commercial customers. In addition, there continues to be support for funding EV charging infrastructure at the state level.

The Company reported a positive gross profit of $7.3 million for 2024, compared to $1.2 million gross profit in 2023. Our gross margin improved as a percentage of sales, year over year, and was 14.8% for 2024, up thirteen percentage points from the gross margin reported in 2023. The increase was primarily because we have implemented cost improvements in late 2023 as a result of design changes to the EV ARCTM as well as operational improvements and positive margins generated from the acquisition of Amiga. Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2024, 24.1% of ARC sales reflected the price increase implemented in 2023. Our gross profits included a negative impact of $3.2 million for non-cash depreciation and intangible amortization. Our gross margin net of non-cash items was 21.2%. We expect to see our costs of goods sold continue to decrease over time. We have continued to implement lean manufacturing process improvements and making engineering changes to our products which we expect to result in cost reductions. Many of the components that we integrate into our products are manufactured by others. This is consistent with our strategy to take advantage of the investment by large and well-funded organizations in the improvement, and reducing costs, of various components and sub-assemblies which we integrate into our final product. We continue to identify components and sub-assemblies that may be more cost effective to outsource, which we believe may further reduce our costs, increase our gross margins, and significantly increase the potential output from our factory. We expect that the receipt of orders may be inconsistent quarter over quarter, however, we expect that in the long term, our revenues will grow as we expand our product offerings and geographic reach and because we expect to see a significant increase in the demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. As such we do not anticipate significant pricing pressure on our products. The increase in demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and, we believe, over the long term, our revenues, combined with the cost-cutting measures described above, lead us to believe that we will continue to see improvement in our gross margins in the future. Beam Europe has the capability to perform several activities which we outsource in the US. We believe that in combination with a generally less expensive operating environment in Serbia, we will be able to produce our products in Europe less expensively than in the U.S., even as we continue to reduce our costs in the U.S.

*Business Combination.*The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. Contingent consideration liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the probability of achieving certain milestones. There are a number of estimated inputs required to perform the fair value calculations including future expected revenues, expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates, market values of assets, etc. The fair value for contingent consideration is reviewed each quarter after the original valuation to determine if revised estimates are necessary. It is often very difficult to obtain information to help in the estimation process, depending on the sophistication of the acquired company or market data on this company’s products.

*Gross Profit/(Loss).*The Company reported a positive gross profit of $7.3 million, a 14.8% gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $1.2 million, a 1.8% gross margin in 2023. As a percentage of sales, the margin improved by thirteen percentage points primarily because we have implemented cost improvements in late 2023 as a result of design changes to the EV ARCTM as well as operational improvements and positive margins generated from the acquisition of Amiga. Additionally, 24.1% of ARC sales in 2024 reflected the price increase implemented in 2023. The gross profit includes a non-cash negative impact of $0.7 million for amortization of intangible assets resulting from the All Cell acquisition. Without this non-cash expense, gross profit for 2024 would be $8.0 million, a 16.3% gross margin. Our engineering team has continued to implement design changes during 2024 which reduced the bill of materials for the EV ARCTM, improving the product margins throughout 2024. We expect the Company’s revenue to grow in the future and our fixed overhead absorption to continue to improve.

*Operating Expenses.*Total operating expenses were $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $17.5 million in the prior year. The 2024 operating expenses included $3.8 million increase due to having a full year of operations of the Serbian acquisitions offset by a decrease in operating expenses for our U.S. operations of $2.3 million. The $1.5 million increase in 2024 operating expense includes a benefit of $4.7 million related to the non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration for the Amiga acquisition, offset by $3.8 million increase in operating expenses for Beam Europe (full year of operations), increase of $0.7 million for salaries, benefits and related costs, increase of $0.6 million for stock option expenses, increase of $0.4 million for audit, tax and outside service consultants and $0.4 million increase in customer service accommodation costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our cash used in operating activities was $13.3 million compared to $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net loss of $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was increased by $4.3 million of non-cash expense items that included $2.7 million for Stock-based compensation, $1.9 million for depreciation and amortization and $0.2 million for change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities pertaining to the true-up of the 2022 earnout payment for All Cell, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in provision on credit losses pertaining to Amiga. Cash used in operations included a $9.5 million increase in accounts receivable due to the revenue increase and the acquisition of Amiga, $1.2 million decrease in deferred revenue because of lower customer deposits, $0.6 million for a decrease in operating lease liability, $0.9 million for an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.3 million decrease in noncurrent liabilities. In addition, cash provided by operations included $4.8 million increase in accounts payable, $2.6 million decrease in inventory, $1.0 million increase in accrued expenses, $0.6 million decrease in operating lease right of use asset and $0.2 million increase in sales tax payable.

Current assets decreased to $27.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $40.7 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in accounts receivable and $5.8 million decrease in cash. Current liabilities decreased to $13.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $16.9 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in deferred consideration, current, for a cash payment owed for the Amiga acquisition paid at the beginning of 2024, $0.8 million decrease in accounts payable and $0.3 million decrease in accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million contingent consideration and $0.1 million in other current lease liabilities. As a result, our working capital decreased to $13.8 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2023. While the Company did not identify an impairment as of December 31, 2024, it has noted a decline in stock price during the first quarter of 2025 that may indicate a decrease in the fair value of the Company which could trigger an impairment. The Company is in the process of conducting an assessment to determine if an impairment is indicated and believes a material impairment of goodwill is possible during 2025.
Previous report
The Company has been focused on marketing and sales efforts to increase our revenues, and we believe those efforts have led to an increase in revenues by 144% from 2021 to 2022 and 206% from 2022 to 2023. Even though there was a decrease in revenues by 27% from 2023 to 2024, we believe our marketing and sales efforts have been impactful. The Company improved its gross profit in 2024, and it is expected to improve in the future as a result of a price increases and benefits from cost reductions from several design changes. As revenues increase, we expect to continue to see our fixed overhead costs spread over more units, which will reduce the cost per unit further. The Company continued to see material cost reductions as synergies are recognized, especially with steel and battery cells, and we expect this trend to continue. This combined with engineering and manufacturing improvements should result in increasing gross profit margin on the EV ARC™ in the future.

With our acquisitions of Amiga and Telcom, we now have a facility in Europe that can manufacture and sell Beam products for the European market. Europe is the largest market in the world for electric vehicles and is a strong proponent of clean energy. We believe there is a lot of potential for growth in this region. We also expect the electric vehicle market to continue to experience significant growth over the next decade as evidenced by 61 new electric vehicles that were launched in 2022 which will require additional EV charging infrastructure. We believe our products are uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth. Our geographic expansion into Europe and our additional business development activities in the Middle East and Africa are, we believe, also providing opportunities for growth which are not dependent on, or impacted by, shifts in US government and zero emission vehicle strategies. The new products we have brought to market offer values which are also not dependent upon US federal government investment. The EU has mandated a transition to zero emission vehicles by 2035 and they are heavily focused on green and sustainable energy. An increase in electric vehicles adoptions will increase the demand for charging infrastructure. We believe that our sustainably energized EV ARCTMand BeamSpot™ products can play a major role in the provision of EV charging infrastructure in Europe.

Our state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV charging systems are immune to grid failures and provide another benefit for customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments, large private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators. Drones, submersibles, recreational products and a host of micro mobility and electric vehicle products are already benefiting from our Beam All-Cell™ highly differentiated products. With the continued growth of untethered electrification, we believe there is an opportunity for increased demand in these markets and others.

Valuation of Share-Based Costs. We currently have share-based awards that include warrants, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units. We measure and recognize compensation expenses for all share-based payments based on an estimation of grant date fair value of our share-based awards. The fair value of stock options and the warrants are calculated using a Black-Scholes model which requires input of interest rates, stock volatility, stock prices, etc. Share-based compensation expense is then recognized based on an allocation of the fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The RSU and RSAs fair value is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The determination of the amount of share-based compensation expense for our performance stock units requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. For performance RSUs, at each reported period, we reassess the probability of the achievement of corporate performance goals to estimate the number of shares to be recorded as a liability. Stock compensation expense is a very large expense on our statement of operations and poor estimates could have a material effect on our financial statements.

*Revenues.*For the year ended December 31, 2024, our revenues decreased 27% to $49.3 million compared to $67.4 million for 2023. Although a decrease year over year, this was a 124% increase over December 31, 2022 revenue of $22.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $15.5 million, or 32% product sales, were to Federal customers. State and Local governments customers accounted for 30% of revenues. We continue to invest in sales, marketing and government relation employees, resources and programs to raise awareness of the benefits and value of our products. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to the timing of customer approvals or budget cycles, however we believe that as EV adoption increases in concert with increased availability of infrastructure funding, our business will be less impacted by specific variations in order timing.
Current wording
*Revenues.*For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues decreased 43% to $28.2 million compared to $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a complete cessation of any federal orders for our products and the reversal of incentives for the purchase of EVs in the U.S. by the federal government. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $1.1 million, or approximately 4% of total revenue was derived from sales to federal government customers and $6.8 million, or approximately 24% was derived from state and local government customers. We continue to invest in sales, marketing and government relations personnel, as well as related programs and resources, to increase awareness of the benefits and value of our products. The timing of orders may continue to be uneven due to customer approval processes and government budget cycles; however, we believe that as EV adoption increases and our energy storage and security and smart cities products are increasingly adopted, our business may become less impacted by variability in the timing of individual orders.
