Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased 115% year-over-year for Q3 and 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Growth was driven by a market recovery in MLPE products and increased sales of GO Energy Storage Systems (GO ESS).
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved significantly to 42.7% in Q3 2025 from 12.5% in Q3 2024. This was primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory expenses and the sale of previously reserved GO ESS inventory.
• Operating Profitability: The company achieved an operating income of $0.6 million in Q3 2025, a turnaround from an operating loss of $10.4 million in the same period last year.
• Debt Reclassification: A $50.0 million Convertible Promissory Note was reclassified from long-term to short-term debt as its maturity date (January 9, 2026) falls within the next 12 months.
• Geographic Shifts: EMEA revenue grew 150% and Americas revenue grew 171% in Q3 2025, while APAC revenue declined 59% due to lower demand in Australia and the Philippines.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern Warning: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2025, the company has $24.5 million in cash and $15.8 million in marketable securities, which is insufficient to repay the $50.0 million Convertible Promissory Note maturing in January 2026. The company is exploring refinancing options or capital raises, but success is not guaranteed.
• Regulatory Risks (OBBB Act): The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBB) enacted in July 2025 phases out the residential Investment Tax Credit (ITC) by December 31, 2025, and introduces stricter domestic content and Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) requirements for commercial projects. This may negatively impact demand and eligibility for tax credits.
• Trade Tariffs: The company faces potential reciprocal import tariffs on products manufactured in Thailand (19%) and Vietnam (20%), which could impact cost structures and pricing.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company previously received notice of non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement but regained compliance in June 2025. Future delisting remains a risk if the stock price falls below $1.00 again.
• Capital Raising: The company utilized an At-The-Market (ATM) offering program, raising approximately $12.0 million in gross proceeds during the first nine months of 2025. Approximately $2.2 million remains available under the program.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Plan: Verify the specific refinancing or capital raise strategies management is pursuing to address the $50 million debt maturity in January 2026.
• Inventory Valuation: Confirm the extent of remaining inventory reserves and the sustainability of the gross margin improvement driven by the sale of previously impaired inventory.
• Tax Credit Impact: Assess the quantitative impact of the OBBB Act's ITC phase-out and new domestic content rules on the company's U.S. revenue pipeline for 2026.
• Debt Conversion Terms: Review the conversion price and anti-dilution provisions of the Convertible Promissory Note to understand potential equity dilution if the note is converted rather than repaid.
• Customer Concentration: Note that one customer represented 10.2% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
