Traditionally, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we primarily sold our EBOS solutions and components and OEM components to customers in the United States. Specifically, we primarily sold to engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”) for use in large solar projects designed to generate electricity and feed it directly into the electric grid, typically with a generation capacity of 1 megawatt (“MW”) or greater (“utility-scale solar”). These EPCs work with owners and developers of solar assets to build solar energy projects. However, given the mission critical nature of EBOS, the decision to use our products typically involves input from both the EPC and the owner/developer of the solar energy project. We are proud of the breadth of EPCs we have worked with. We believe that as of March 31, 2025, we have worked with 13 of the top 15 U.S. solar EPCs, per Wood Mackenzie data from 2022-2024.

We derived 71.4% of our revenue from the sale of system solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the same period, we derived substantially all of our revenue from customers in the U.S. As of March 31, 2025, we had $645.1 million of backlog and awarded orders, backlog of $202.2 million represents signed purchase orders or contractual minimum purchase commitments with take-or-pay provisions and awarded orders of $442.9 million are orders we are in the process of documenting a contract for but for which a contract has not yet been signed. As of March 31, 2025, we believe approximately $197.7 million of backlog and $301.7 million of awarded orders have delivery dates in the next twelve months. Additionally, more than 13% of our March 31, 2025 backlog and awarded orders related to international projects. As of March 31, 2025, backlog and awarded orders increased by 5% relative to the same date last year and increased by 2% relative to December 31, 2024.

On March 4, 2025, the current Presidential Administration (the “Administration”) imposed a 25% tariff on all goods imported from Canada and Mexico, with specific exemptions for certain products such as Canadian oil, natural gas, uranium, and other energy sources, which are subject to a lower 10% tariff. On April 2, 2025, the Administration imposed significant tariffs, including a 10% tariff on most imports from other trading partners, as well as additional reciprocal tariffs on specific countries. On April 9, 2025, the Administration imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, effective immediately. Also on April 9, 2025, the Administration implemented a
Current wording
Beginning in March 2025, the current Presidential Administration (the “Administration”) imposed broad actions related to tariffs with global trading partners. On April 2, 2025, the Administration imposed significant tariffs, including a 10% tariff on most imports from other trading partners, as well as additional reciprocal tariffs on specific countries. On April 9, 2025, the Administration implemented a 90-day pause on tariffs for most countries, with an ability to negotiate trade deals with the United States. On July 31, 2025, the Administration announced modifications to reciprocal tariff rates, with rates on most goods in excess of 10% with specific exceptions. These rates will take effect on August 7, 2025. Negotiations with trading partners are ongoing by the Administration and future changes in tariff policies are possible. The imposition of tariffs have led to retaliatory tariffs and tariff countermeasures, and the Administration and U.S. trading partners have threatened further restrictions on trade.
Previous wording
90-day pause on tariffs for all other trading partners, including Canada and Mexico, and capped the reciprocal tariffs at 10% for countries that did not retaliate against the United States. Future changes in tariff policies are possible. As a result, the global trade environment has experienced extreme uncertainty and volatility, and is rapidly evolving. In recent years, we have expanded our domestic capabilities, supply chain resiliency, and manufacturing capacity, which helps offset some of the volatility we face due to trade policies and regulations.

Previous wording
The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) in the U.S. made significant changes to the U.S. tax code to incentivize the development and use of solar-generated electricity to meet the country’s growing demand for power. The IRA offered tax incentives to companies who provide goods connected to the development and use of solar energy. The IRA allowed U.S. taxpayers making capital investments in solar projects to claim certain Investment Tax Credits (“TC”) for the installation of these solar projects. The IRA also generally allowed U.S. taxpayers to elect to receive a production tax credit (“PTC”) in lieu of the TC for qualified solar facilities if the construction began before January 1, 2025, among other requirements. While the IRA increased incentives for solar energy, some of those incentives have already begun to decrease and phase out. Additionally, given the change in U.S. presidential administrations, the future of the IRA and any federal solar incentives remains uncertain. If the IRA is repealed or significantly altered, it could have several adverse effects on our business. The removal of the incentives that drive demand for solar energy production could reduce the financial attractiveness of solar projects, leading to decreased demand for our products. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the future of these incentives could cause delays in project financing and execution, further impacting our sales volume and growth rate.

Previous wording
Beginning in late 2023 and continuing in 2024, the domestic utility scale solar market experienced project delays that pushed and delayed projects beyond 2024. While there are inherent delays and pushouts with solar and construction projects in normal operating environments, the pushouts and delays experienced in late 2023 and into 2024 were significantly greater than we have historically experienced, and they impacted our results during 2024, lowering demand and sales volume. These trends were the result of several factors, including: permitting issues; supply chain disruptions; labor availability; project financing; anti-dumping and countervailing duties; interconnection complications; and uncertainty regarding changes in the U.S. trade environment. While we are currently experiencing a more normalized business environment, we expect these challenges to persist to a lesser degree in the near term. We continue to expect a modest amount of project delays when compared to historical levels. As a result, we believe the industry is poised for growth across both our core and new markets, driven by the continued and increasing need for energy around the world.
Current wording
The domestic utility scale solar market has experienced volatility that has had an impact on our business. Industry trends are impacted by a variety of factors, including: permitting issues; supply chain disruptions; labor availability; project financing; anti-dumping and countervailing duties; interconnection complications; and uncertainty regarding changes in public policy and the U.S. trade environment. Amidst the volatility, the U.S. solar industry has shown demonstrated levels of growth in 2025, with recorded expansion in new solar module manufacturing capacity according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. As a result, we believe the industry is poised for continued growth across both our core and new markets, driven by the continued and increasing need for energy around the world.

Global inflationary pressures persisted during the first quarter of 2025 and are expected to persist to a lesser extent during the remainder of 2025; however, the impact of inflation remains uncertain for the rest of 2025. Interest rates have remained generally higher when compared to historical rates, causing the interest rates associated with our Senior Secured Credit Agreement to be generally higher; however, interest rates did decline from their historically high levels during the course of 2024. Should interest rates rise, when combined with the implications of higher government deficits and debt, tighter monetary policy, political instability, and volatility and uncertainty in global trade, the Company’s costs for accessing capital are uncertain and may rise during our forecasted period.

Our ability to obtain the raw materials required to manufacture our components and system solutions from domestic and international suppliers, as well as our ability to secure inbound logistics to and from our facilities, remained challenging during the first quarter of 2025, complicated by volatility in government policies and regulation concerning trade and ongoing political conflict. While the Company does not directly source a significant amount of raw materials from Europe, the Russia-Ukraine war has reduced the availability of certain materials that can be sourced in Europe and, as a result, increased global logistics costs for the procurement of some inputs and materials used in our products. We expect these trends to persist as challenges and conflicts remain in 2025.

(a)For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no expenses related to warranty for wire insulation shrinkback relating to the identification, repair and replacement of a subset of wire harnesses presenting unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. We consider expenses incurred in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the impacted wire harnesses distinct from normal, ongoing service identification, repair and replacement expenses that would be reflected under ongoing warranty expenses within the operation of our business, which we do not exclude from our non-GAAP measures. In the future, we also intend to exclude from our non-GAAP measures the benefit of liability releases, if any. We believe excluding expenses from these discrete liability events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods. See Note 8 - Warranty Liability, in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 represents $0.5 million of inventory write-downs of wire in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of a subset of wire harnesses presenting unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. We consider expenses incurred in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the impacted wire harnesses distinct from normal, ongoing service identification, repair and replacement expenses that would be reflected under ongoing warranty expenses within the operation of our business, which we do not exclude from our non-GAAP measures. In the future, we also intend to exclude from our non-GAAP measures the benefit of liability releases, if any. We believe excluding expenses from these discrete liability events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods. See Note 8 - Warranty Liability, in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed H.R. 1, which significantly modifies certain energy tax provisions aforementioned, in the IRA. Changes to the IRA made by H.R. 1 include an accelerated phaseout or termination of the PTC and TC for solar projects placed in service after 2027. There are also rules related to foreign entities of concern that make any solar projects owned or controlled by a prohibited foreign entity ineligible for certain tax credits. The removal of the incentives that drive demand for solar energy production could reduce the financial attractiveness of solar projects, leading to decreased demand for our products. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the future of these incentives could cause delays in project financing and execution, further impacting our sales volume and growth rate.
