U.S. Government Shutdown
Current report
The U.S. federal government’s new fiscal year began October 1, 2025, without the passage of appropriation acts or a continuing resolution (“CR”) and the government began its shutdown procedures, to include furloughing government civilian employees. It is unclear at this time when either a CR or appropriations act will be enacted. Federal agencies have published guidance for identifying those functions that may continue to be carried out in the absence of available appropriations. At this time, we do not anticipate the shutdown as having a material effect on our business. However, we are closely monitoring the known and potential impact of any short-term or extended shutdown.

Gain on sale of asset
Current report
(c)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, represents $0.7 million of expenses incurred in connection with actions taken to consolidate our operations into a newly constructed facility, including items such as professional fees, relocation, facility set-up and other costs. We believe excluding expenses from these events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Reworded paragraphs (33)
Previous wording
Traditionally, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2025, we have worked with 14 of the top 15 U.S. solar EPCs, per Wood Mackenzie data from 2022-2024.

We derived 74.2% of our revenue from the sale of system solutions for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the same period, we derived substantially all of our revenue from customers in the U.S. As of June 30, 2025, we had $671.3 million of backlog and awarded orders, backlog of $260.9 million represents signed purchase orders or contractual minimum purchase commitments with take-or-pay provisions and awarded orders of $410.4 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 June 30, 2025, we believe approximately $247.1 million of backlog and $293.2 million of awarded orders have delivery dates in the next twelve months. Additionally, more than 13.3% of our June 30, 2025 backlog and awarded orders related to international projects. As of June 30, 2025, backlog and awarded orders increased by 4.4% relative to the same date last year and increased by 4.1% relative to March 31, 2025.

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.

Beginning in March 2025, the current U.S. Presidential Administration (the “Administration”) unveiled broad actions related to tariffs with global trading partners. Subsequently, the Administration has imposed a series of significant tariffs, including a 10% tariff on most imports from other trading partners, as well as additional reciprocal tariffs on specific countries. Administration activity related to changes in tariff percentages and qualifying products, including active negotiations with trading partners and internal trade policy development, is ongoing. Future changes in tariff policies are possible. The Administration’s imposition of tariffs has led to retaliatory tariffs and tariff countermeasures, and the Administration and U.S. trading partners have threatened further restrictions on trade.
Previous wording
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.

Global inflationary pressures persisted during the first two quarters 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.

Previous wording
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 half 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025, represents no wire insulation shrinkback warranty expenses related to the identification, repair and replacement of a subset of wire harnesses presenting unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback, nor any inventory write-downs of wire in connection with wire insulation shrinkback. 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.
