Key Financial Metrics

Note: Working Capital calculated as Current Assets ($51,782) minus Current Liabilities ($58,325).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 92.2% year-over-year, driven by a 101.2% increase in MLPE product sales and a 49.3% increase in GO ESS (energy storage) sales. Growth was observed across all regions: EMEA (+99.6%), Americas (+72.4%), and APAC (+101.4%).
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved by 9.9 percentage points to 38.1%, aided by higher revenue volume and the sale of previously impaired inventory.
• Expense Management: Operating expenses decreased slightly year-over-year. R&D and Sales & Marketing expenses declined due to reduced headcount from prior layoffs. G&A increased slightly due to the reversal of bad debt reserves.
• Debt Reclassification: The $50.0 million Convertible Promissory Note was reclassified from long-term to short-term debt as its maturity date (January 9, 2026) falls within 12 months of the reporting date.
• Warranty Liability: Warranty liability increased significantly due to a $1.28 million change in estimate regarding service delivery costs.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern Warning: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The company has negative working capital of $6.5 million and insufficient liquid assets to repay the $50.0 million Convertible Promissory Note due in January 2026. The company plans to explore equity financing or debt refinancing, but success is not guaranteed.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company received a notice from Nasdaq regarding non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement (stock price below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days). The company has until September 30, 2025, to regain compliance, potentially via a reverse stock split.
• Trade Tariffs: Significant exposure to trade tariffs exists. MLPE products (manufactured in Thailand) may face 10% tariffs, while GO ESS products (manufactured in China) may face 145% tariffs on future U.S. imports.
• Capital Raising: The company utilized its At-The-Market (ATM) offering program in Q1 2025, raising approximately $1.1 million in gross proceeds. Approximately $13.1 million remains available under the program.
• Tax Examination: A discrete tax expense of $0.3 million was recorded related to an estimated settlement of a foreign tax examination in Italy.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Plan: Verify the status of refinancing discussions for the $50M Convertible Note due Jan 2026 and the feasibility of raising additional equity given current stock price levels.
• Nasdaq Status: Monitor the stock price to ensure it meets the $1.00 minimum bid requirement to avoid delisting by September 2025.
• Tariff Impact: Assess the company's progress in diversifying supply chains away from China and Thailand to mitigate potential 145% and 10% import tariffs.
• Inventory Valuation: Review the $18.9 million inventory balance and the $22.2 million inventory reserve to ensure no further write-downs are required given market conditions.
• Warranty Costs: Monitor the trend in warranty liabilities, which increased due to higher service delivery cost estimates.
