Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of “its disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we identified control deficiencies in the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting that constituted a material weakness in aggregation. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our remediation efforts previously identified in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 to address the identified material weakness related to the design, implementation and monitoring of GITC for the ERP system that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements have been completed. In particular, the Company’s GITC findings primarily related to: (i) inappropriate implementation of controls allowed developers to gain access to application layer of ERP; (ii) the monitoring controls were not appropriately designed to review the overall operations of the privileged users; (iii) the monitoring controls were not appropriately designed to review the permissions granted to users. During 2025, management implemented a remediation plan to address these deficiencies. The management completed the execution of the following remediation measures, including testing of the design and concluding on the operating effectiveness of the related controls:
Removed all inappropriate system access as of December 31, 2024, and strictly reinforcing the segregation of duties requirements set for developer and privileged users;
Assessed and formalized the design of certain information technology policies and procedures;
Established more robust and precise processes to monitor the privileged user activities;
Conducted more frequent user access reviews and removed unnecessary access to systems;
Strengthened controls over program changes and change management processes.
Management completed testing of the design and operating effectiveness of these remediated controls. Based on this testing, management believe the steps taken have improved the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and we have determined that these new or redesigned controls are operating effectively, and we consider the material weakness previously identified remediated as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
The Company's system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatement. Accordingly, even when determined to be effective, internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management conducted an assessment, including testing using the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on the assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP, has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, which is contained in this Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the improvements to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses discussed above, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Microvast Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Microvast Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets, and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, cash flows and financial statement schedule(the “financial statements”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated March 16, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
