Special Note about Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “aims,” “anticipated,” “believes,” “budget,” “can,” “contemplates,” “continue,” “could,” “drive,” “estimates,” “expect,” “future,” “indicative,” “intends,” “may,” ‘momentum,” “plans,” “position,” “potential,” “predicts,” “probable,” “projects,” “represents,” “scheduled,” “shall,” “should,” “target,” ‘vision,” or “will,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our business plans, strategies, market opportunities, products and services, including future investments therein and anticipated benefits therefrom; our future financial or operating performance and growth (such as revenue, gross margins, expenses, income (losses) and other operating results); our future cash flows, expenditures, requirements, uses, sufficiency and funding sources; our accounting practices and policies (including the impacts associated with them and accounting pronouncements, estimates, accruals, commitments/contingencies, warrant vesting and non-GAAP financial measures); our disclosure and internal controls, procedures and remediation efforts; our lease terms, including commencement; our risk factors; and our legal and compliance matters such as legal proceedings and 10b5-1 trading arrangements.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, expectations or events disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and those included within our Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 14, 2025. The following include some, but not all, of the factors that could cause the outcome of the events described in our forward-looking statements to differ from those anticipated:

•our ability to sustain and manage our growth effectively;

•our ability to maintain future profitability;

•our ability to accurately predict future revenue for appropriate budgeting and expense adjustment;

•our ability to anticipate and respond to new and evolving market trends or industry standards, develop and sell new products, or penetrate new markets;

•our customer concentration, with a limited number of end customers driving our revenue;

•our ability to achieve product design wins and opportunities for customer sales and investment recoupment;

•warranty claims or product liability;

•regulatory risks of authorities in jurisdictions into or from which we ship our products or import supplies levying fines, restricting or delaying our product exports or supply imports, or increasing product manufacturing or transfer costs;

•changes in tax laws, rules or practices;

•our competitive markets and ability to compete effectively, including as a result of industry consolidation;

•our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights;

•our reliance on third-party technologies for product development and future ability to use such technologies; and

•global financial and economic conditions and geopolitical events, including fluctuating interest, inflation and unemployment rates, economic slowdowns or recessions, or financial market volatility, including as a result of, among other factors, the ongoing Russia and Ukraine war, the Middle East conflict, announced or future tariff increases, international tensions or instability, significant changes in governmental policies or similar events.

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on management’s current beliefs and our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
