AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Business and Operations
Nature of the Business and Operations
American Superconductor Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “AMSC®” or the “Company”) was founded on April 9, 1987. The Company is a leading provider of power control solutions that harmonize an increasingly complex energy system and enable customers to scale their operations without added complexity or size. The Company’s system level products leverage its proprietary “smart materials” and “smart software and controls” to provide enhanced resiliency and improved performance of megawatt-scale power flow.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue operations and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to those instructions. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the financial position at June 30, 2026; however, these results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 27, 2026.
2. Acquisition
Acquisition of Comtrafo
On December 5, 2025 (the "Comtrafo Acquisition Date"), the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”) with the selling stockholders named therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Exchange Agreement and concurrently with entering into such agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Comtrafo Indústria de Transformadores Elétricos S.A. ("Comtrafo") (the "Comtrafo Acquisition"). Additionally, the Company has agreed to pay the selling stockholders of Comtrafo an additional amount up to
The Comtrafo Acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocated the purchase price on a preliminary basis using the information available as of December 5, 2025 to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values of deferred taxes, contingent consideration and intangible asset balances. Changes to the purchase price allocation could be significant. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price paid by the Company over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

3. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues in its Grid segment are derived primarily through enabling the transmission and distribution of power, providing planning services that allow it to identify power grid needs and risks, and developing ship protection systems for the U.S. Navy. The Company’s revenues in its Wind segment are derived primarily through supplying advanced power electronics and control systems, licensing its highly engineered wind turbine designs, and providing extensive customer support services to wind turbine manufacturers. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations, determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) control of goods or services is transferred to the customer. For the three months ended June 30, 2026,
In the Company's product sales, each contract with a customer summarizes each product sold to a customer, which typically represents distinct performance obligations. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation using the respective standalone selling price which is determined primarily using the cost plus expected margin approach and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s product sales transfer control to the customer in line with the contracted delivery terms and revenue is recorded at the point in time when title and risk transfer to the customer, which is primarily upon delivery, as the Company has determined that this is the point in time that control transfers to the customer. For the three months ended June 30, 2026,
Included in the Company's performance of services, there are several different types of transactions and each begins with a contract with a customer that summarizes each product sold to a customer, which typically represents distinct performance obligations. Included in the business segment line there are technology development transactions that are primarily for activities that have no alternative use and for which a profit can be expected throughout the life of the contract. In these cases, the revenue is recognized over time, but in the instances where the profit cannot be assured throughout the entire contract then the revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation using the respective standalone selling price which is determined primarily using the cost plus expected margin approach. The ongoing service transactions are for service contracts that provide benefit to the customer simultaneously as the Company performs its obligations, and therefore this revenue is recognized ratably over time throughout the effective period of these contracts. The transaction prices on these contracts are allocated based on an adjusted market approach which is re-assessed annually for reasonableness. The field service transactions include contracts for delivery of goods and completion of services made at the customer's requests, which are not deemed satisfied until the work has been completed and/or the requested goods have been delivered, so all of this revenue is recognized at the point in time when the control changes, and at allocated prices based on the adjusted market approach driven by standard price lists. The royalty transactions are related to certain contract terms on transactions in the Company's equipment and systems product line based on activity as specified in the contracts. The transaction prices of these agreements are calculated based on an adjusted market approach as specified in the contract. The Company reports royalty revenue for usage-based royalties when the sales have occurred. In circumstances when collectability is not assured and a contract does not exist under ASC 606, revenue is deferred until a non-refundable payment has been received for substantially all the amount that is due and there are no further remaining performance obligations.
The Company's service contracts can include a purchase order from a customer for specific goods in which each item is a distinct performance obligation satisfied at a point in time at which control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This transfer occurs based on the contracted delivery terms or when the requested service work has been completed. The transaction price for these goods is allocated based on the adjusted market approach considering similar transactions under similar circumstances. Service contracts are also derived from ongoing maintenance contracts and extended service-type warranty contracts. In these transactions, the Company is contracted to provide an ongoing service over a specified period of time. As the customer is consuming the benefits as the service is being provided, the revenue is recognized over time ratably.
The Company’s policy is not to accept volume discounts, product returns, or rebates and allowances within its contracts. In the event a contract was approved with any of these terms, it would be evaluated for variable consideration, estimated and recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related product revenue was recorded.
The Company provides assurance-type warranties on all product sales for a term of typically to years, and extended service-type warranties are available for purchase at the customer's option for an additional term ranging up to additional years. The Company accrues for the estimated warranty costs for assurance warranties at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience plus any known or expected changes in warranty exposure. For all extended service-type warranties, the Company recognizes the revenue ratably over time during the effective period of the services.
The Company records revenue net of sales tax, value added tax, excise tax and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over the products sold passes to customers and revenue is recognized. The Company has elected to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as expense when incurred except in contracts where the amortization period would exceed twelve months. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Company's capitalized incremental contract costs were not material. The Company has elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period of financing is twelve months or less. The Company has elected to recognize revenue based on the as invoiced practical expedient if there is a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company's performance.
The Company’s contracts with customers do not typically include extended payment terms and may include milestone billing over the life of the contract. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from to days from delivery.
The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by shipment destination (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to the timing differences between cash received from a customer in connection with contractual rights to invoicing and the timing of revenue recognition following completion of performance obligations. The Company's accounts receivable balance is made up entirely of customer contract related balances. Changes in the Company’s contract assets, which are included in “Unbilled accounts receivable” and “Deferred program costs” (see Note 8, “Accounts Receivable” and Note 9, “Inventory” for a reconciliation to the condensed consolidated balance sheets) and “Contract liabilities”, which are included in the current portion and long-term portion of “Deferred revenue” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, are as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of the Company’s contractual commitments. The Company’s performance obligations may vary significantly each reporting period based on the timing of major new contractual commitments. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had outstanding performance obligations on existing contracts under ASC 606 to be recognized in the next months of approximately $

5. Computation of Net Income per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Where applicable, diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares include the effect of restricted stock, exercise of stock options and warrants and contingently issuable shares. Stock options and warrants that are out-of-the-money with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the underlying common shares and shares of performance-based restricted stock where the contingency was not met are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2026,
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except per share data):

6. Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill
The guidance under ASC 805-30, Business Combinations, provides for the recognition of goodwill on the acquisition date measured as the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date amounts of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company's goodwill balance relates to the Comtrafo Acquisition in fiscal 2025, the NWL acquisition in fiscal 2024, the Neeltran acquisition in fiscal 2021, the NEPSI acquisition in fiscal 2020, and Infinia Technology Corporation acquisition in fiscal 2017 and is reported in the Grid business segment.
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually on February 28 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill might not be recoverable. Changes in the Company’s goodwill are as follows (in thousands):

7. Fair Value Measurements
A valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value has been established. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
| Level 1 | - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
| Level 2 | - | Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). |
|
|
|
|
| Level 3 | - | Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data. |
The Company provides a gross presentation of activity within Level 3 measurement roll-forward and details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. A change in the hierarchy of an investment from its current level is reflected in the period during which the pricing methodology of such investment changes. Disclosure of the transfer of securities from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 3 is made in the event that the related security is significant to total cash and investments. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Valuation Techniques
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less that are regarded as high quality, low risk investments and are measured using such inputs as quoted prices, and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts.
Short-term Cash Instruments
Short-term cash instruments consist of highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less that are regarded as high quality, low risk investments and are measured using such inputs as quoted prices in markets that are not active, and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Short-term cash instruments consist principally of certificates of deposits.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration relates to the earnout payment set forth in the Stock Exchange Agreement governing the acquisition of Comtrafo that provides the selling stockholders may receive an additional sum of cash upon the achievement of certain specified EBITDA objectives during the three years following the Comtrafo Acquisition Date. See Note 14, “Contingent Consideration” for further discussion. The Company relied on a Monte Carlo method to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration on the closing of the acquisition of Comtrafo and continues to revalue the fair value of the contingent consideration using the same method at each subsequent balance sheet date until the contingencies are resolved and the cash to be paid is determined, with the change in fair value recorded in the current period operating income (loss). For the period ended June 30, 2026, the change in fair value was a decrease of $

13. Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $
The Company's effective tax rate was
On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, weighing positive and negative evidence to assess the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. A tax valuation allowance is established, as needed, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In the period in which it becomes more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted. As of June 30, 2026, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Poland.
Accounting for income taxes requires a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if, based on the technical merits, it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. The evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Any changes in these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. The Company did identify any uncertain tax positions in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and did have any gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2026.
14. Contingent Consideration
Comtrafo Contingent Consideration
On December 5, 2025, the Company entered into the Stock Exchange Agreement with the selling stockholders named therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the selling stockholders of the Comtrafo Acquisition an additional amount in cash upon the achievement of specified EBITDA objectives during the three years following the Comtrafo Acquisition Date. The Company evaluated the Comtrafo Acquisition earnout payment set forth in the Comtrafo Stock Exchange Agreement (See Note 2, "Acquisition" for further details), which will require settlement in cash, and determined the contingent consideration qualified for liability classification. As a result, for each period, the fair value of the contingent consideration will be remeasured, and the resulting gain or loss will be recognized until the cash amount is fixed.
Following is a summary of the key assumptions used in a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Comtrafo Acquisition:
| June 30, | ||||
| Fiscal Year 2026 | 2026 | |||

15. Leases
Operating Leases
All significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right–of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. The operating lease right-of-use asset includes any lease payments related to initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes any lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company enters into a variety of operating lease agreements through the normal course of its business, but primarily real estate leases to support its operations. The real estate lease agreements generally provide for fixed minimum rental payments and the payment of real estate taxes and insurance. Many of these real estate leases have one or more renewal options that allow the Company, at its discretion, to renew the lease for varying periods up to years or to terminate the lease. Only renewal options or termination rights that the Company believed were likely to be exercised were included in the lease calculations.
The Company also enters into leases for vehicles, IT equipment and service agreements, and other leases related to its manufacturing operations that are also included in the right-of-use assets and lease liability accounts if they are for a term of longer than twelve months. However, many of these leases are either short-term in nature or immaterial. The Company has made the policy election to exclude short-term leases from the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other
The Company enters into long-term construction contracts with customers that require the Company to obtain performance bonds. The Company is required to deposit an amount equivalent to some or all the face amount of the performance bonds into an escrow account until the termination of the bond. When the performance conditions are met, amounts deposited as collateral for the performance bonds are returned to the Company. In addition, the Company has various contractual arrangements in which minimum quantities of goods or services have been committed to be purchased on an annual basis.

17. Business Segments
The Company reports its financial results in reportable business segments: Grid and Wind. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has identified operating segments. The Company's operating segments reflect the way in which internally-reported financial information is used to make decisions and allocate resources.
Through the Company’s power grid offerings, the Grid business segment enables electric utilities, industrial facilities, and renewable energy project developers to connect, transmit and distribute smarter, cleaner and better power through its transmission planning services, power electronics, and superconductor-based systems. The sales process is enabled by transmission planning services that allow it to identify power grid congestion, poor power quality and other risks, which helps the Company determine how its solutions can improve network performance. These services often lead to sales of grid interconnection solutions for wind farms and solar power plants, power quality systems, and transmission and distribution cable systems. The Company also sells ship protection products to the U.S. Navy through its Grid business segment.
Through the Company’s wind power offerings, the Wind business segment enables manufacturers to field highly competitive wind turbines through its advanced power electronics and control system products, engineered designs, and support services. The Company supplies advanced power electronics and control systems, licenses its highly engineered wind turbine designs, and provides extensive customer support services to wind turbine manufacturers. The Company’s design portfolio includes a broad range of drive trains and power ratings of 2 megawatts ("MWs") and higher. The Company provides a broad range of power electronics and software-based control systems that are highly integrated and designed for optimized performance, efficiency, and grid compatibility.
AMSC’s Chief Executive Officer Daniel McGahn is the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker uses segment operating income (loss) to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for segment operating income (loss) when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The chief operating decision maker also uses segment operating income or loss to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results and return on assets of each segment with one another and in the compensation of certain employees.

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company. The Company’s business segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measures are segment revenues and segment operating income (loss). The disaggregated financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. In addition, certain corporate expenses which the Company does not believe are specifically attributable or allocable to either of the two business segments have been excluded from the segment operating income (loss).

Our fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. When we refer to a particular fiscal year, we are referring to the fiscal year that began on April 1 of that same year. For example, fiscal 2026 refers to the fiscal year that began on April 1, 2026. Other fiscal years follow similarly.
Changes in macroeconomic conditions arising from various reasons, such as the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Middle East, tariffs, trade restrictions and resulting trade conflicts, labor force availability, sourcing, material delays and global supply chain disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On December 5, 2025 (the "Comtrafo Acquisition Date"), we entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the "Stock Exchange Agreement") with the selling stockholders named therein (the "Stockholders"). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Exchange Agreement, Mardin Participações Ltda., an entity incorporated in Brazil (“AMSC Brazil”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, directly or indirectly, purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Comtrafo Indústria de Transformadores Elétricos S.A. ("Comtrafo") (collectively, the "Comtrafo Acquisition") for (a) (i) 300 million Brazilian Real in cash; and (b) 2,417,142 restricted shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "AMSC Shares") that were paid and issued, respectively, at closing. In addition, pursuant to certain additional real property agreements, AMSC Brazil through Comtrafo purchased certain real estate assets and transportation assets of Comtrafo for 155.6 million Brazilian Real and 13.4 million Brazilian Real, respectively, in cash. Additionally, AMSC Brazil has agreed to pay the Stockholders up to an additional 382.5 million Brazilian Real in cash (the "Earnout") upon the achievement of specified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") objectives during the three years following the closing. Comtrafo is a Brazil-based manufacturer of large power and distribution transformers primarily for utility customers and also for industrial customers.
In June 2025, we completed an offering of 4,743,750 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $28.00 per share under our Registration Statement on Form S-3. We received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $124.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025
Revenues
Total revenues increased 30% to $94.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $72.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our revenues are summarized as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||||
| 2026 |
2025 |
|||||||
| Revenues: |
||||||||
| Grid |
$ | 76,323 | $ | 60,087 | ||||
| Wind |
17,750 | 12,271 | ||||||
| Total |
$ | 94,073 | $ | 72,358 | ||||
Our Grid business segment accounted for 81% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 83% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our Grid business segment revenues increased 27% to $76.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $60.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the Grid business segment revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, was driven by the addition of Comtrafo revenues.
Our Wind business segment accounted for 19% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 17% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Revenues in the Wind business segment increased 45% to $17.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $12.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, was driven by additional shipments of electrical control systems ("ECS").
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues increased by 45% to $69.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $47.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin was 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Cost of revenues includes total amortization expense of $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of Comtrafo acquired backlog intangible assets. In addition, $0.7 million related to a fair value adjustment for the step-up basis assigned to acquired inventory to properly reflect the fair value in purchase accounting was charged to cost of revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to a less favorable product mix and the impact of Comtrafo purchase accounting items.
Operating Expenses
Research and development
Research and development ("R&D") expenses decreased 9% in the three months ended June 30, 2026, to $3.9 million from $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by lower stock-based compensation expense and lower outside services expense.
Selling, general, and administrative
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 31% in the three months ended June 30, 2026, to $18.6 million from $14.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in SG&A expense in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by the addition of Comtrafo expenses, higher overall compensation expense, and additional stock-based compensation expense.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles
We recorded amortization expense related to our core technology and know-how and customer relationships of $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, and $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in amortization expense in the three months ended June 30, 2026, was a result of additional amortization related to the Comtrafo acquisition, as well as ongoing activity from NEPSI and Neeltran which are using the economic consumption method as the basis to amortize the acquired customer relationships intangible assets.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration
The change in fair value of our contingent consideration for the earnout payment on the acquisition of Comtrafo resulted in a gain of $8.1 million from a decrease in fair value of the contingent consideration driven by changes in the forecast in the three months ended June 30, 2026. There was no activity in the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration.
Operating income (loss)
Our operating income (loss) is summarized as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||||
| 2026 |
2025 |
|||||||
| Operating income: |
||||||||
| Grid |
$ | (2,166 | ) | $ | 4,155 | |||

| Unallocated corporate expenses |
8,115 | — | ||||||
| Total |
$ | 9,832 | $ | 5,644 | ||||
Our Grid business segment generated operating loss of $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an operating income of $4.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the Grid business segment operating income in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to lower gross margins and Comtrafo purchase accounting expense.
Our Wind business segment generated operating income of $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to operating income of $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the Wind business segment operating income in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to higher revenues and gross margins from increased sales of ECS units.
Interest income, net, was $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest income, net, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due to higher cash balances in the current year.
Other income (expense), net
Other expense, net, was $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to other income, net of $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in other income, net, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, was driven by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to income tax expense of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in our income tax expense was primarily due to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
Net income
Net income was $9.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was driven primarily by the change in fair value of contingent consideration.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Non-GAAP Net Income
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to the comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define non-GAAP net income as net income before stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-cash or unusual charges. We believe non-GAAP net income assists management and investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding these non-cash charges and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use non-GAAP net income as a factor to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income is set forth in the table below (in thousands, except per share data):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |
||||||||
| 2026 |
2025 |

45,995 | 38,875 | ||||||
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted |

We generated non-GAAP net income of $7.6 million, or $0.17 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $11.6 million, or $0.30 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the decrease in non-GAAP net income was a result of lower gross margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash provided by operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, along with access to capital markets, including through our currently effective Registration Statements on Form S-3. We believe that these sources of liquidity are sufficient to meet both our short-term and reasonably foreseeable long-term requirements and obligations. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $153.1 million, compared to $147.6 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $5.5 million. As of June 30, 2026, we had $22.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in foreign bank accounts. Our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are summarized as follows (in thousands):
| June 30, 2026 |
March 31, 2026 |
|||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents |
$ | 143,707 | $ | 140,693 | ||||
| Restricted cash |
9,406 | 6,860 | ||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash |
$ | 153,113 | $ | 147,553 | ||||
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $16.0 million, compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was due primarily to changes in deferred revenue, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and changes in fair value consideration.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $10.5 million, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash paid for the purchase of property, plant and equipment in the current year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, there was no cash provided by or used in financing activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $124.6 million. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to the equity raise in June 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $5.6 million of restricted cash included in long-term assets and $3.8 million of restricted cash included in current assets. At March 31, 2026, we had $3.3 million of restricted cash included in long-term assets and $3.5 million of restricted cash in current assets. These amounts included in restricted cash primarily represent collateral deposits to secure surety bonds and letters of credit for various customer contracts. These deposits are held in interest bearing accounts.
We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, while others are considered future commitments. We have various contractual arrangements, under which we have committed to purchase certain minimum quantities of goods or services on an annual basis. For information regarding our other contractual obligations, refer to Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," Note 14, "Contingent Consideration," Note 15, "Leases" and Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other than the contingent consideration owed to the former Comtrafo stockholders there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
We believe we have sufficient available liquidity to fund our operations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and into the future. We raised $124.6 million, net of offering expenses, through an equity raise in June 2025, of which $88.3 million was used for the Comtrafo Acquisition. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital, which could be in the form of loans, convertible debt or equity, to fund our operating requirements and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all or execute on any other means of improving our liquidity as described above. Additionally, the impact of global sources of instability, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, tariffs, trade restrictions and resulting trade conflicts, instability of financial institutions and political instability in the United States, on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, which could negatively impact our liquidity.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. We record a liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We review these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjust the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, we estimate and disclose the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 address investor requests for more disclosure of disaggregated financial reporting information about expenses presented in the income statement. Following the release of ASU 2024-03 in November 2024, the effective date will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 remove all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Following the release of ASU 2024-05 in September 2025, the effective date will be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We do not believe that, outside of those disclosed here, there are any other recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We face exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as our business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
Cash and cash equivalents
Our exposure to market risk through financial instruments, such as short-term cash instruments with maturities of three months or less, is limited to interest rate risk and is not material. Our investments in marketable securities consist primarily of money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit and are designed, in order of priority, to preserve principal, provide liquidity, and maximize income. Interest rates are variable and fluctuate with current market conditions. We do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Foreign currency exchange risk
The functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for AMSC Austria (Euro), AMSC Brazil and Comtrafo (Real), for which the local currencies are the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of AMSC Austria, AMSC Brazil and Comtrafo are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense items are translated at average rates for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are excluded from net income and shown as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates whenever we, or any of our subsidiaries, enter into transactions with third parties that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currency. Intercompany transactions between entities that use different functional currencies also expose us to foreign currency risk. Gross margins of products we manufacture in the U.S and sell in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are also affected by foreign currency exchange rate movements. In addition, a portion of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar, and our revenues and earnings could be materially impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates upon the translation of the earnings of such subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar. If the functional currency for AMSC Austria, AMSC Brazil, or Comtrafo were to fluctuate by 10% the net effect would be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency gains (losses) are included in net income and were a loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
| CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In making this evaluation, our management considered the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026 filed on May 27, 2026, described below. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2026, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that management is in the process of remediating.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026, management identified the following material weakness: We did not maintain effective internal controls over the preparation and review of the initial purchase accounting and the continuing fair value accounting associated with the Comtrafo Acquisition to ensure the accurate and timely reporting of our financial results related to this acquisition. Specifically, errors went undetected in amounts initially recorded to the opening balance sheet due to controls not operating at the appropriate level of precision during management's review process which could have led to a reasonable possibility of material misstatement to account balances or disclosures.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, our management, with the oversight of our audit committee, has initiated steps and plans to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness, which we currently believe will be primarily through the development and implementation of new levels of precision of management review controls around business acquisitions. In the three months ended June 30, 2026, management has performed additional levels of review around areas of significant judgement and material balances.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe that our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in all material respects.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the foregoing, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
None
| RISK FACTORS |
There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 27, 2026.
