Current report

Cost of revenue increased by $44.2 million, or 63.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by the increase in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 30.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 37.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined year over year primarily due to operational inefficiencies associated with the ramp-up and transition into the new manufacturing facility and product mix within the quarter, along with costs incurred to address product quality matters, including rework and corrective actions, as well as material-related inefficiencies and incremental lease accounting amortization.

Current report

Gain on sale of asset decreased $3.1 million from the previous period due to the prior year sale of owned land and building assets to consolidate operations into new facilities.

Current report

Cost of revenue increased by $91.5 million, or 75.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven by the increase in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 29.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 36.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined period over period primarily due to operational inefficiencies associated with the ramp-up and transition into the new manufacturing facility and product mix within the period, along with costs incurred to address product quality matters, including rework and corrective actions, as well as material-related inefficiencies and incremental lease accounting amortization.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 8.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment remained stable period over period, with only a modest increase driven by routine capital investments.

Current report

Previous report

Because litigation remains ongoing and CBP’s refund process is still under development, significant uncertainty remains regarding the timing, scope, and ultimate recoverability of any potential refunds

Previous report

Cost of revenue increased by $47.3 million, or 90.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by the increase in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 29.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 35.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in margin is attributable to $3.8 million in additional tariffs paid in comparison to the prior year quarter, an increase in $1.4 million in right-of-use asset amortization arising from the opening of our consolidated operations facility, along with an increase in material costs.

Previous report

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we also used approximately $2.1 million of cash to pay for expenses related to the identification, repair and replacement of the wire harnesses impacted in connection with the wire insulation shrinkback matter. Future amounts of cash to be spent in connection to this matter are uncertain. For more information, see Note 8 - Warranty Liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reworded paragraphs (35)

Previous wording

Traditionally, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, we primarily sold our EBOS solutions and OEM components to customers in the United States, while also fulfilling orders for international utility-scale solar projects. Specifically, we primarily sold to engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”) for use in large solar and BESS projects designed to generate electricity and feed it directly into the electric grid, typically with a generation capacity of 1 megawatt or greater. These EPCs work with owners and developers of solar assets to build energy infrastructure 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 energy infrastructure energy project.

Previous wording

We derived 78.8% of our revenue from the sale of system solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the same period, we derived substantially all of our revenue from customers in the U.S. As of March 31, 2026, we had $758.0 million of backlog and awarded orders. Backlog of $390.3 million represents signed purchase orders or contractual minimum purchase commitments with take-or-pay provisions and awarded orders of $367.7 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, 2026, we believe approximately $375.5 million of backlog and $252.1 million of awarded orders have delivery dates in the next twelve months. Additionally, more than 13.1% of our March 31, 2026 backlog and awarded orders related to international projects. As of March 31, 2026, backlog and awarded orders increased by 17.5% relative to the same date last year and increased by 1.4% relative to December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

Our business activities are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our exports and imports are subject to complex trade and customs laws, tax requirements, and tariffs established through governmental actions or international agreements. Changes in tax policies or trade regulations, the disallowance of tax deductions on imported merchandise, or the imposition of new tariffs on imported products, including reciprocal tariffs, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Current wording

Our business activities are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our exports and imports are subject to complex trade and customs laws, tax requirements, and tariffs established through governmental actions, statutory authorities, or international agreements. Changes in tax policies or trade regulations, the disallowance of tax deductions on imported merchandise, the imposition of new or increased tariffs on imported products, including reciprocal tariffs, or retaliatory actions by trading partners could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Previous wording

In recent years, the U.S. presidential administration (the “Administration”) implemented broad tariff measures affecting a wide range of imports. These actions included a 10% tariff on most imports and various reciprocal tariffs on certain trading partners. Tariff policy remained fluid, with frequent adjustments to tariff percentages and product coverage, as well as ongoing negotiations with global trading partners. These measures contributed to significant volatility and uncertainty in the global trade environment.

Current wording

In recent years, the U.S. presidential administration (the “Administration”) implemented broad tariff measures affecting a wide range of imports. These measures included tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (the “IEEPA”), including reciprocal tariffs, and frequent changes in tariff rates, product coverage, implementation dates, exclusions, and related guidance. Tariff policy remained fluid, with frequent adjustments to tariff percentages and product coverage, as well as ongoing negotiations with global trading partners. These measures contributed to significant volatility and uncertainty in the global trade environment and increased costs for many importers.

Previous wording

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the Administration’s tariff measures, ruling that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize their imposition. While the ruling halted those specific tariff programs, the longer‑term implications for U.S. trade policy remain uncertain. Future regulatory or legislative actions resulting from the ruling could impact our operations, supply chain, and cash flow.

Current wording

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”) invalidated the Administration’s tariff measures, ruling that the IEEPA did not authorize their imposition. Following the ruling, the Administration terminated the IEEPA tariffs, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) ceased applying and collecting those duties for goods entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after February 24, 2026. While the ruling halted IEEPA-based tariffs, the longer‑term implications for U.S. trade policy remain uncertain as the Administration promptly announced a temporary, across the board tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, initiated additional investigations, and has now proposed new tariffs on more than 60 countries, which are expected to take effect around the time the Section 122 tariffs expire. The Supreme Court ruling did not address issues relating to refund eligibility, timing, or procedures. Future judicial, regulatory or legislative actions related to the Supreme Court ruling could impact our operations, supply chain, and cash flow.

Previous wording

On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade issued an order requiring Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to process certain tariff‑refund claims in accordance with the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Current wording

On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade issued an order requiring CBP to process certain tariff‑refund claims in accordance with the Supreme Court’s ruling. CBP has been developing and implementing a phased refund process through its system, but litigation, appeals, and administrative implementation remain ongoing.

Previous wording

Tariff actions have negatively affected our gross margins due to both direct tariff payments and higher supplier prices reflecting secondary tariff costs. Although we have expanded our domestic capabilities, strengthened supply chain resiliency, and increased domestic manufacturing capacity, these measures may not fully offset the impact of future trade policy changes. Any significant new tariffs, retaliatory actions by trading partners, or rapid shifts in trade regulations could increase raw material costs—including steel, copper, and aluminum—and may limit our ability to source key materials efficiently. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs could affect exports of our manufactured products and potentially lead customers to seek alternative suppliers.

Previous wording

In 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, modified several energy‑related tax provisions of the IRA. These changes include an accelerated phaseout or termination of the ITC and PTC for solar projects placed in service after 2027, as well as restrictions related to “foreign entities of concern,” which render certain projects owned or controlled by prohibited foreign entities ineligible for specific tax credits.

The Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) have issued guidance regarding certain prohibited foreign entity and material assistance requirements, and further guidance or rulemaking may affect how these restrictions are interpreted and applied.

Previous wording

The domestic utility‑scale solar market has previously experienced volatility driven by a combination of permitting delays, supply‑chain constraints, labor shortages, project‑financing challenges, interconnection bottlenecks, and uncertainty stemming from federal trade and tax policy changes. We believe long‑term demand fundamentals remain strong; however, new circumstances may emerge and could affect future project timing, pricing dynamics, and customer mix. We continue to monitor market conditions and manage these uncertainties through proactive commercial strategies, inventory planning, and close engagement with customers and suppliers.

We continue to monitor market conditions and manage these uncertainties through proactive commercial strategies, inventory planning, and close engagement with customers and suppliers.

Previous wording

The market for critical power infrastructure is expanding as electricity demand increases and energy systems grow more complex; however, this growth is accompanied by uncertainty arising from shifting policy frameworks, technological change, and varying levels of industry participation. These conditions may result in inconsistent coordination across stakeholders, policy fragmentation, and differing degrees of market readiness, each of which could influence project execution, capital allocation, and technology deployment. We will continue to assess how volatility in the industries in which we operate may affect our operations, capital expenditures, and cash flows.

Previous wording

Sourcing raw materials and securing inbound logistics continues to present challenges, reflecting persistent global supply chain disruptions, trade‑policy volatility, and geopolitical conflict. Tariff‑driven increases in import prices have raised costs across multiple inputs, contributing to higher procurement and logistics costs. Ongoing geopolitical instability, including the conflict in the Middle East involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, may disrupt the availability of certain materials and contribute to increased global freight and input costs. We expect these sourcing and logistics pressures to persist through 2026 as trade uncertainty and geopolitical tensions remain unresolved.

We consider this litigation distinct from ordinary course legal matters given the expected magnitude of the expenses, the nature of the allegations in the Company’s complaint, the amount of damages sought, and the impact of the matter underlying the litigation on the Company’s financial results. In the future, we also intend to exclude from our non-GAAP measures the benefit of recovery, if any. We believe excluding expenses from these discrete litigation events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods. See Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies, in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.
