Current report
Other (expense) income
Current report
Other income decreased by $12.0 million or 357% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and by $1.3 million or 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the change is primarily due to an increase in interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 the change is driven by an increase in interest expense offset by an increase in derivative liabilities fair value adjustment.
Current report
As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $46.7 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and contracts with customers for the future sale of PV modules.
Current report
In addition, on August 14, 2025, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Trina Solar (U.S.), Inc., pursuant to which, Trina agreed to defer, without any interest, any payments due under the sales agency and aftermarket services agreement dated December 23, 2024 until the earlier of August 15, 2026 and the date on which we begin to monetize our accrued 45X tax credits.
Current report
We also announced on August 14, 2025 an amendment to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between T1 and Encompass, pursuant to which Encompass agreed, among other things, to provide the $50.0 million of financing to purchase non-voting preferred stock of the Company for purposes other than construction of the G2 facility with issuance of such preferred stock to occur 10 business days after the Company provides notice of its decision to exercise the second tranche.
Current report
Our net sales and profits remain subject to variability based on, among other things, the availability and size of government subsidies and economic incentives. We expect the benefits made available to us by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) to favorably impact our liquidity and capital resources in future periods. For example, we expect to qualify for the advanced manufacturing production credit under Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), which provides certain specified benefits for solar modules and solar module components manufactured in the United States and sold to third parties. Such credit may be refundable by the IRS or transferable to a third party and is available from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase down beginning in 2030. Accordingly, we expect the advanced manufacturing production credit will provide us with a significant source of funding throughout its remaining period. To date we have not received cash proceeds from the sale or direct pay from 45X tax credits.

Other income (expense)

Other income increased by $13.3 million or 359% to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to a $25.2 million derivative liability fair value adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to zero the three months ended March 31, 2024 partially offset by a $9.9 million interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a $1.4 million interest income, net.
Previous report
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $51.1 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.

Historically, these funds have been used for our Trina Business Combination, constructing and equipping our manufacturing facilities, technology licensing, R&D activities, and general corporate purposes.
Reworded paragraphs (18)
Previous wording
The three months ended March 31, 2025, represented our first full period of financial results following our transformative acquisition of Trina Solar (U.S.) Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, and related subsidiaries (collectively “Trina Solar US Holding”), which closed on December 23, 2024 (“Trina Business Combination”). We recognized net sales of $64.6 million in the period related to net sales to Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG and its affiliates (the “Trina Group”), a related party. Additionally, we ended the first quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $51.1 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized total net sales of $132.8 million in the period. Additionally, we ended the second quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $46.7 million.
Previous wording
Demand for our PV solar module offerings depends, in part, on market factors outside our control. For example, the United States has recently announced changes to its global trade policy, including significant tariffs on imports from China, Vietnam, Mexico, Canada, and other countries. These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods and exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets.

These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods and exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Additionally, the passage of Public Law 119-21 (commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on July 4, 2025 (the “OBBBA”) created further instability in the market by curtailing the availability of certain tax credits for suppliers and customers. Specifically, the new law eliminates the availability of tax credits for taxpayers that source a particular percentage of their products and components from, or have certain commercial arrangements with, foreign entities of concern (“FEOC”). We are actively working to ensure compliance with the FEOC-related provisions of the OBBBA to allow us and our customers to retain the availability of tax credits in the future.
Previous wording
New or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, especially in light of recent comments and executive orders made by the United States, could further impact or exacerbate these conditions. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and on the stability of global financial markets. There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs, potential changes to existing tariffs, and whether additional tariffs may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. While the situation remains fluid, we are continuing to evaluate these developments.
