Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Regulatory risk has materially escalated across multiple concrete legislative changes — Section 25D expiry, OBBBA construction deadlines, NEM 3.0 compensation cuts of 70-80%, and tightening domestic content/FEOC thresholds — that directly threaten revenue, margins, and product eligibility. Macro headwinds compounded: tariffs broadened to nearly all products with realized adverse effects, India employee concentration rose to 61%, and Europe revenue collapsed from 23% to 14% of the mix. Operational risks also worsened, with purchase obligations nearly doubling to $252.3M, a new $9.8M investment write-down, and a $6.2M customer bankruptcy loss realized — partially offset only by an easing of prior-year semiconductor shortages.

New regulatory risk: domestic content and FEOC thresholds for tax credits (AMPTC, ITC) directly threaten product eligibility, demand, and margins. Escalating requirements through 2026 create material compliance burden.
The inability of our products to comply with the minimum domestic content tax credit thresholds, inclusive of FEOC regulations, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results…
