Current report

We have entered into a joint venture agreement with Abunayyan Holding in Saudi Arabia to help further expand our footprint in the Middle East and North Africa markets. The joint venture is expected to establish a strategic regional hub, bringing sales and operations closer to customers, enhancing self-reliance, and strengthening Nextracker's presence in one of the world’s fastest growing solar markets. The joint venture is expected to be consummated during our fourth fiscal quarter following the formation of Saudi Arabia legal entities and satisfaction of other closing conditions contained in the joint venture agreement.

Current report

In our capital allocation strategy, we are prioritizing growth that includes both organic growth and through merger and acquisitions (“M&A”). We have a disciplined M&A approach, focusing on our core competencies, technological differentiation, and value for customers.

Current report

Our revenue mix is predominantly comprised of solar tracker system sales. In addition, during our second quarter of fiscal year 2026, we have recognized revenue for TrueCapture, eBOS, foundations business, robotic solutions, and other.

Current report

(2)Debt extinguishment cost consists of nonrecurring costs for the termination of our existing credit agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2023.

Current report

Other income, net was $2.1 million for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, which primarily included $6.4 million of interest income, partially offset the write-off of unamortized issuance costs of $5.8 million associated with our Existing RCF (as defined below), coupled with $1.9 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange losses and other. Other income, net was $7.4 million income for the three-month period ended September 27, 2024, which primarily included $3.3 million of interest income and $2.4 million of favorable foreign currency exchange gains.

Current report

Comparison of the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024

Current report

Revenue increased by $414.0 million, or 31%, for the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, driven by a 34% increase in GW delivered, most notably in the U.S. due to increased demand, coupled with additional revenue generated from our recent business acquisitions. Revenue increased approximately $313.2 million, or 32% in the U.S. during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 as more projects came on line, and the Rest of the World increased $100.9 million, or 26%, primarily from increased shipments to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Current report

Cost of sales increased by $301.7 million, or 34%, during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by the 34% increase in GW delivered, along with higher cost associated with the increase in headcount as a result of our recent business acquisitions noted above, coupled with the impact from a $35.4 million increase in tariffs. These increases were partially offset by the impact from the 45X Credit. During the first half of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we recognized approximately $192.3 million and $98.0 million, respectively, of reduction to cost of sales related to the 45X Credit earned on production of eligible components shipped during the period, which offset tariffs of approximately $43.3 million and $7.9 million respectively. Freight and logistics costs (excluding tariffs) remained flat as a percentage of revenue during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended September 27, 2024.

Current report

Gross profit increased by $112.4 million, or 24%, during the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 compared to the six-month period ended September 27, 2024, primarily resulting from the U.S. and Rest of the World revenue growth, and the impact from the 45X Credit recognized in the first half of fiscal year 2026, offset by the higher tariffs coupled with the higher cost associated with our increase in headcount noted above.

Current report

On September 8, 2025, we and the LLC, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), which replaced the existing credit agreement originally entered into by us on February 13, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on September 8, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). The initial maximum aggregate principal amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility is $1.0 billion. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the LLC may request an increase of the aggregate amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility of up to $250.0 million at any time. The New Revolving Credit Facility provides for sub-facilities for the issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million and swingline loans not to exceed $150.0 million in the aggregate.

Current report

The LLC may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the New Credit Agreement from time to time until the Maturity Date. Voluntary prepayments under the New Credit Agreement are permitted from time to time generally without premium or penalty. The New Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by us and the LLC. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of either (i) the Term SOFR rate, (ii) the Daily Simple SOFR rate, (iii) the Term RFR rate, (iv) the Daily Simple RFR rate, or (v) the Eurocurrency Rate, plus the Applicable Margin, each as defined and described in the New Credit Agreement with respect to the applicable type of borrowing.

Current report

The LLC is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility commitments, ranging from 7.5 to 20 basis points, depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating. Additionally, the LLC is required to pay a quarterly letters of credit fee on the utilized portion, ranging from 87.5 to 150 basis points, also depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating.

Current report

The New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limits the ability of us, the LLC and its subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens and requires us and the LLC to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio below a certain threshold.

Current report

As a result of the New Credit Agreement, we capitalized approximately $2.0 million of issuance costs related to the New Revolving Credit Facility, which were included in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of September 26, 2025, we had approximately $915.0 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of $85.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of September 26, 2025.

Current report

Concurrently with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, we voluntarily terminated our Existing Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments and all revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, including all accrued interest or fees, had been paid and terminated in full as of September 8, 2025. The Existing Credit Agreement provided for a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million (the “Existing RCF”), of which no amounts were drawn as of September 26, 2025, and would have matured on February 11, 2028. In conjunction with the termination, we wrote off all unamortized issuance costs related to the Existing Credit Agreement as of September 8, 2025 and as a result recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $5.8 million, including transaction costs, in other income, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We incurred no termination penalties in connection with the early termination of the Existing Credit Agreement.

Current report

As discussed in the “Credit Facilities” section above, in September 2025, we entered into a New Credit Agreement, which replaced the Existing Credit Agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2023. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion unsecured New Revolving Credit Facility that matures on September 8, 2030. As of September 26, 2025, we had approximately $915.0 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of $85.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Previous wording

We have shipped more than 130 GW of solar tracker systems as of March 31, 2025 to projects on six continents for use in utility-scale and distributed generation solar applications. Our customers include engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”), as well as solar project developers and owners. Developers originate projects, select and acquire sites, obtain permits, select contractors, negotiate power offtake agreements, and oversee the building of projects. EPCs design and optimize the system, procure components, build and commission the plant, and operate the plant for a limited time until transfer to a long-term owner. Owners, which are often independent power producers, own and operate the plant, typically as part of a portfolio of similar assets. Owners generate cash flows through the sale of electricity to utilities, wholesale markets, or end users.

Previous wording

Steel prices, cost of transportation, and labor costs in countries where our suppliers perform manufacturing activities affect our cost of sales. Our ability to lower our cost of sales depends on implementation and design improvements to our products as well as on driving more cost-effective manufacturing processes with our suppliers. We generally do not directly purchase raw materials such as steel or electronic components and do not hedge against changes in their price. Most of our cost of sales are directly affected by sales volume. Personnel costs related to our supply chain, logistics, quality, tooling and operations are not directly impacted by our sales volume.

Previous wording

Cost of sales increased by $100.0 million, or 21%, during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, primarily driven by the 27% increase in GW delivered noted above, offset by the impact from the 45X Credit. We recognize a reduction in cost of sales for 45X Credit earned on components manufactured in the U.S. During the three-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, we recognized approximately $93.2 million and $47.0 million, respectively, of reduction to cost of sales related to the 45X Credit earned on production of eligible components shipped during the period. The reduction in cost of sales was offset by increases in certain direct costs primarily due to our recent acquisitions including an increase in headcount. Freight and logistics costs decreased slightly as a percentage of revenue during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended June 28, 2024.

Current wording

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $3.2 million incurred in conjunction with our 2022 equity incentive plan, $1.1 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in conjunction with our new business acquisitions, and the remaining increase in costs of approximately $8.8 million related to our continued expansion of our sales organization in line with the growth in the global market and the expansion of our supporting functions also required to support our current and planned growth.

Current wording

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million, or 17%, to $84.6 million for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 from approximately $72.1 million for the three-month period ended September 27, 2024 while decreasing 200 basis points from approximately 11% to approximately 9% as a percentage of revenue during the same period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in costs of approximately $11.3 million related to our continued expansion of our sales organization in line with the growth in the global market and the expansion of our supporting functions also required to support our current and planned growth, and $2.6 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in conjunction with our new business acquisitions.

Previous wording

We accrue and pay income taxes according to the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction in which we operate. Most of our revenue and profits are generated in the United States with a statutory income tax rate of 21% for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024. For the three-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, we recorded total income tax expense of $33.8 million and $27.2 million, respectively, which reflected consolidated effective income tax rates of 17.7% and 17.9%, respectively. The increase in income tax expense from the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 to the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 is primarily driven by the increase in income before income taxes. The decrease in effective tax rate from the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 to the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in tax benefit to a tax credit approved by the State of California, partially offset by tax expense associated with non-deductible executive stock based compensation.

Current wording

We accrue and pay income taxes according to the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction in which we operate. Most of our revenue and profits are generated in the United States with a statutory income tax rate of 21% for the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024. For the three-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, we recorded total income tax expense of $35.9 million and $19.9 million, respectively, which reflected consolidated effective income tax rates of 19.6% and 14.5%, respectively. The increase in tax expense as well as effective tax rate from the three-month period ended September 27, 2024 to the three-month period ended September 26, 2025 is driven by an increase in income before income taxes for the corresponding period and a discrete tax benefit in the three-month period ended September 27, 2024 related to a change in management’s assertion to the realization for certain deferred tax assets, partially offset by tax benefit associated with stock based compensation.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

We accrue and pay income taxes according to the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction in which we operate. Most of our revenue and profits are generated in the United States with a statutory income tax rate of approximately 21% for the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024. For the six-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, we recorded total income tax expense of $69.6 million and $47.1 million, respectively, which reflected consolidated effective income tax rates of 18.6% and 16.3%, respectively. The increase in tax expense as well as effective tax rate from the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 to the six-month period ended September 26, 2025 is driven by an increase in income before income taxes for the corresponding period and discrete tax benefits in the six-month period ended September 27, 2024 related to a change in management’s assertion to the realization for certain deferred tax assets, partially offset by tax benefit associated with stock based compensation and a tax credit approved by the State of California.
