Our vision

We envision a world electrified by clean energy.

Our mission

Our mission is to be the trusted partner delivering the world’s most intelligent, reliable, and productive clean-power technology.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of solar and energy technology solutions for utility-scale power plants. Founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Dan Shugar, we pioneered and remain the global market leader in solar tracking systems. We now deliver an integrated suite of structural, electrical, and digital solutions across the full lifecycle of solar power plants, from design and construction through operations and maintenance. Our integrated solutions are designed to streamline project execution, increase energy yield and long-term reliability, and enhance customer return on investment (“ROI”).

The solar tracker market plays a key part in driving the global energy transition by increasing energy production and improving the levelized cost of energy (“LCOE”). The majority of utility-scale projects installed today in mature markets such as the United States, India, Latin America, Australia and parts of Europe use solar trackers, and adoption of solar tracker technology continues to grow in developing solar markets such as the Middle East and Africa.

We have developed the next generation of solar trackers that enable rows to move independently, providing further benefits to customers. Our intelligent independent row tracking system incorporates proprietary technology that we believe produces more energy, lowers operating costs, is easier to deploy, and has greater reliability compared to linked row, other independent tracker products and fixed-tilt systems. Our TrueCapture® energy yield management system addresses power production shortfalls due to the variability of real-world site conditions.

We have shipped more than 160 GW of our solar tracker systems as of March 31, 2026 to projects on six continents for use in utility-scale and distributed generation solar applications. Our customers include engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”), as well as solar project developers and owners. We are a qualified, preferred provider to some of the largest solar EPC firms and solar project developers and owners in the world.

Platform strategy

Our platform integrates solar tracker systems with electrical infrastructure, software, controls, and emerging technologies to enable more efficient, reliable, and scalable solar power plants. We are a multi-product platform company offering a connected ecosystem of technologies and services, including electrical balance of systems solutions, power conversion technologies, and software-driven capabilities incorporating artificial intelligence (“AI”), automation, and robotics.

Industry trends

Demand for solar energy continues to grow due to its cost competitiveness and global decarbonization and electrification.

The rapid adoption of AI technologies has significantly increased electricity demand in many sectors, particularly from data centers, which are among the fastest-growing sources of load growth in many regions. Increasing demand for electrification to help achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions has created a significant demand for clean energy production. Electrification refers to electricity replacing other sources for energy consumption, such as the transition to electric vehicles and electric heating. In addition, globally, many countries, industries, and firms have been aggressively pursuing decarbonization standards that pledge to increase the percentage of electricity production from renewable energy sources while decreasing reliance on fossil fuel generation and increasing focus on low-carbon energy sources. Global electricity demand is entering a period of accelerated growth driven by factors such as data center expansion, increased use of artificial intelligence, and electrification of transportation and buildings. These dynamics are contributing to what we believe is a long-term “electricity super-cycle,” a

sustained period of accelerated electricity demand growth, further reinforcing the need for scalable, low-cost renewable energy solutions capable of supporting large, continuous power loads.

At the same time, the expansion of electricity supply is constrained by factors including transmission and interconnection limitations, permitting timelines, and availability of grid infrastructure. In many regions, these constraints have created a mismatch between accelerating electricity demand and the pace at which new generation capacity can be deployed.

Solar is one of the fastest growing and most cost-competitive sources of new electricity generation. According to Lazard, from 2009 to 2025, the cost of solar generation fell by 84%.1 Today, solar electricity is competitive with both natural gas and wind and costs significantly less than some conventional generation technologies such as coal and nuclear.

Today’s utility-scale solar plants have evolved from fixed-tilt systems to generally rely on solar tracking technologies that increase electricity generation and improve economics for solar plant owners by enabling solar panels to rotate and follow the sun’s movement across the sky2. Single axis solar trackers can increase energy yield of solar projects and, in many cases, generate up to 25% more energy than projects that use fixed-tilt, or stationary, panel mounting systems that do not track the sun. Tracker technology also enables panel movement in response to weather events, helping reduce the performance risks facing the system due to hail and wind. The additional cumulative revenue from energy production that trackers provide typically exceeds the incremental cost of using a tracking system, improving the risk-adjusted LCOE and providing significant ROI for solar projects.

Our solutions

Our solar tracking systems lead our portfolio, but our solutions extend to include yield management systems, foundations, steel frames, electrical balance of systems (eBOS), AI and robotic services, risk mitigation and operability solutions and emerging technologies designed to optimize performance across the entire solar power plant.

Our integrated design approach enables deployment across a wide range of topographical and climate conditions and supports efficient construction and long-term operation of utility-scale solar projects. By combining hardware, software, and engineering capabilities, we aim to deliver scalable solutions that help customers meet increasing demand for reliable, cost-effective electricity.

As part of our mission, we focus on delivering low carbon technology solutions and advancing sustainable supply chain initiatives to help drive a clean energy future.

Solar tracking systems solution portfolio

We have been the global market leader in solar tracking systems based on gigawatts (“GW”) shipped for ten consecutive years. NX Horizon® is our flagship solar tracking solution. NX Horizon’s smart solar tracker system delivers what we believe to be an attractive LCOE and has been deployed more than any other tracker in our portfolio. Based on our internal analysis, experience and customer feedback, we believe we generally have an LCOE advantage compared to legacy linked row trackers. NX Horizon’s system mounts a single line of panels along a tracker row. NX Horizon’s reliable self-powered motor and control system, balanced mechanical design and independent-row architecture provide project design flexibility while lowering operations and maintenance costs. With its self-aligning module rails and vibration-proof fasteners, NX Horizon can be easily and rapidly installed. The self-powered, decentralized architecture allows each row to be commissioned in advance of site power and is designed to withstand high winds and other adverse weather conditions. NX Horizon combines several key features that improve performance, reliability and operability compared to competing designs.

Network Control Unit (NCU) and Smart Power Controls (SPC). Our tracker systems incorporate NCU and SPC, which provide distributed control, monitoring, and communication capabilities across the solar power plant. These components enable real-time system visibility and coordinated tracker operation, supporting optimized energy yield and system performance.

We continue to enhance our NCU and SPC technologies with expanded connectivity, improved data processing, and enhanced cybersecurity capabilities designed to support the secure and reliable operation of our networked control systems. These advancements enable greater integration with plant-level control systems and facilitate secure remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and performance optimization over the life of the system:

•Independent rows. Over the last decade, the substantial decrease in the cost of electric motors and control systems helped accelerate the adoption of independent row tracking systems over linked-row architectures. In addition to the ability to rotate each row individually, independent rows provide many benefits such as increased redundancy and therefore lower risk of single points of component failure, site layout flexibility, including reduced grading requirements, ease of installation, and ease of maintenance and operations, including unrestricted vehicle access.

•Mechanically-balanced rows. Our patented, mechanically-balancing rows have several benefits, including greater range of motion, less energy required to rotate the panels than competing products, and reduced component wear and tear. Mechanical balancing also enables greater elevation of solar panels above a central support beam (torque tube), significantly improving energy production in bifacial applications by allowing more reflected light to reach the back side of the panel. Bifacial panels capture sunlight on both their front and back sides and are frequently adopted in utility-scale projects.

•Self-powered. Our tracker design includes the placement of a small solar panel on each row that powers the trackers, eliminating the need for more expensive AC power. In addition, our self-powered controller also enables advanced sensor capabilities by collecting and distributing real-time sensor data.

•Terrain following capability. Unlike typical designs that constrain tracker rows to a plane, Nextpower’s NX Horizon-XTR and NX Horizon XTR-1.5 variants conform to a site’s natural terrain undulations. NX Horizon-XTR eliminates or reduces the cost and impact of cut-and-fill earthworks, without complex joints or additional components, reduces foundation material, eases permitting, and accelerates project construction schedules while minimizing environmental impact and reducing project risk. NX Horizon-XTR’s ability to significantly reduce earthwork, allows many otherwise infeasible sites to become economically viable for solar trackers. Less earthwork lowers upfront costs and improves scheduling while mitigating environmental impacts to topsoil, natural habitats, native vegetation, and natural drainage features.

•Embedded sensors and connectivity. Our embedded sensors and wireless mesh network with real-time connectivity enable visibility and system monitoring of critical components and remote maintenance and in certain situations, reduce yield loss by enabling real-time adaptation to site conditions.

•Operation and maintenance efficiency. Our engineered structural fasteners replace standard nuts and bolts. Our fasteners increase long-term reliability and eliminate the need for periodic inspection and maintenance required by systems held together with generic nuts and bolts.

•Sealed, elevated drive system. All our trackers have sealed gears, motors and controllers, which are typically elevated three or more feet above the ground, helping to protect the system against dust, flooding and ground accumulations of snow and ice.

Since its launch, we have introduced several additional product innovations to complement our core NX Horizon tracker.

NX Horizon-XTR™ is our terrain-following tracker designed to expand the addressable market for trackers on sites with sloped, uneven and challenging terrain. NX Horizon-XTR conforms to the natural terrain of the site, reducing or eliminating cut-and-fill earthworks and reducing foundation lengths. These benefits help accelerate construction schedules and make trackers more economically and environmentally viable on difficult sites.

NX Horizon® with Hail Pro™ builds on the core features of NX Horizon’s smart solar tracking system, including its balanced design, integrated UPS (uninterruptible power supply), and independent-row architecture. Hail Pro adds automatic stowing capabilities using weather service data, hail readiness services, and where applicable, Hail Pro-75™, which enables stowing at angles of up to 75 degrees for project sites subject to extreme hail. In fiscal year 2025, we introduced enhanced automated functionality designed to provide site-specific responses to severe weather events, including during grid outages. These capabilities are intended to improve system resilience and help mitigate weather-related risks for solar power plant asset owners and operators.

NX Horizon™ Low Carbon is the industry’s first solar tracker solution with a reduced carbon footprint, which means less embodied carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions compared to our traditional offshore-produced tracker. Initially offered in the U.S. market, the NX Horizon Low Carbon solar tracker system includes torque tubes manufactured with the electric arc furnace (EAF), recycled steel, and logistics strategically located near project sites. Third-party verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology provides our customers with documentation on reductions in carbon footprint, land use, water

consumption and other metrics associated with the entire lifecycle, including sourcing, manufacturing, delivery, and operation of solar trackers.

Benefits of our tracking system solutions

We design our tracking systems as part of an integrated approach to solar power plant performance, with a focus on increasing energy production while reducing installation, operating and maintenance costs. Our trackers serve not only as a mechanical platform for solar modules, but also as a foundation for intelligent control, data collection, and system optimization across the plant. Through software and control solutions, including our separately licensed TrueCapture and NX Navigator solutions, our systems are designed to improve performance and operability over time. By combining hardware, software, and analytics, we provide a platform that enables continuous optimization and supports more efficient and reliable plant operations. Our innovative approach provides the following competitive advantages:

•Next-generation architecture. Our self-balancing, independent-row architecture provides many performance and cost advantages, including improved reliability, easier access for maintenance vehicles, a wide rotational range and the ability to optimize the tracker angle on a row-by-row basis for increased energy production. Unlike some linked-row designs, our key drive components are located well above ground to reduce risk from flooding and ground accumulations of snow and ice.

•TrueCapture capabilities. TrueCapture reduces the energy production gap between modeled and real-world tracker performance by adjusting tracker rows based on topography, sun position, solar irradiance, and PV panel technology. Its advanced sensors and as-built topographic calibration enable the tracker equipment to more accurately realize its intended energy production benefits.

•NX Navigator operability and weather mitigation capabilities. NX Navigator facilitates plant operability and resilience. It provides utility-scale solar plant owners another layer of monitoring and control, allowing owners to proactively manage yield and enable reliable operation across a wide range of severe weather conditions. NX Navigator’s next-generation advanced remote monitoring capabilities maintain tracker equipment health and availability while its onsite active controls offer safety defense, and extreme weather risk mitigation. For example, NX Navigator provides rapid stowing modes to reduce risk of damage from hail and a feature that automatically puts the panels into stow position shortly after a loss of utility power.

•Ease of deployment. Our solutions are designed to enhance system configuration and planning for customers, reduce costs associated with grading, earthworks, anchoring, deployment and other installation, and reduce time to deploy and operationalize. Our trackers are self-powered, reducing ongoing system reliance on more costly AC power and allowing newly-constructed plants to begin generating solar power weeks or months sooner than tracking solutions that require external power to operate.

•Future upgradability. We take an innovative approach to ‘future proofing’ the performance of our trackers over time, enabling the release of improved features and capabilities to both legacy and new solar projects via future enhancements and new products.

•Superior production for bifacial solar panels. Our tracker platforms are designed to optimize production from bifacial solar panels. Bifacial panels capture sunlight on both their front and back sides and are increasingly adopted in utility-scale projects. Our architecture is designed to mitigate obstructions that can block reflected light from reaching the back side of the panels.

TrueCapture®

TrueCapture, NX Horizon’s energy yield management system, addresses power production shortfalls due to the variability of real-world site conditions. While linked-row tracking systems angle all rows in an identical direction facing the sun, TrueCapture leverages NX Horizon’s independent-row architecture and advanced sensors, and adds as-built topographical calibration and real-time site conditions data to ensure the energy gain entitled by tracking is delivered for all in-field conditions. Validated by leading independent engineering firms, TrueCapture is proven to effectively account for topography, row-to-row height variations and diffuse irradiance conditions, typically reducing energy losses between 1-2%.

Zonal Diffuse expands on TrueCapture’s yield management and is a tracking function that mitigates energy yield loss during rapidly changing irradiance conditions. This technology includes additional high spatial resolution sensing that enables the

trackers to efficiently adapt to variations in cloud cover across the entire power plant. Zonal Diffuse complements TrueCapture’s terrain-adaptive row-to-row tracking mode and Split Boost, an energy yield management feature for half-cell modules.

NX Foundation Solutions

NX Foundation Solutions is a comprehensive suite of solar foundation technologies and services designed to optimize solar project installations across diverse soil conditions. NX Foundations includes NX Anchor™ and NX Earth Truss™ which facilitate solar project development in a wide array of geotechnical conditions including soft, medium, firm, expansive and frost-heave soils. NX Foundation Solutions are part of an integrated foundation-to-tracker system offering that helps streamline project timelines, reduce costs, and improve safety while minimizing environmental impact, particularly on challenging terrain. The solution set incorporates a full suite of services including geotechnical reviews, foundation design, equipment selection, and installation support, along with advanced installation equipment like the Truss Driver®.

Steel Frames

In September 2025, we announced our expansion into the solar panel frame market with the acquisition of Origami Solar, Inc. ("Origami"), a pioneer in roll-formed steel frame technology. Steel frames offer a high-performance alternative to traditional extruded aluminum frames, delivering strength and durability, competitive cost, and the potential for a more localized supply chain. Steel frames may also provide environmental benefits, including a lower carbon footprint depending on sourcing and manufacturing processes. The use of steel as a frame material may also enable new solar panel mounting techniques, including robotic assembly, which could improve installation efficiency and reduce labor requirements.

Electrical Balance of Systems (eBOS) Solutions

In May 2025, we announced the acquisition of U.S.-based Bentek Corporation ("Bentek"), an industry pioneer and manufacturer of electrical infrastructure components that collect and transport electricity from solar panels to the power grid. The acquisition combines Bentek’s engineered, pre-assembled eBOS solutions with Nextpower’s solar tracker platform, providing customers with streamlined procurement and project logistics from a single source. The eBOS products are offered as standalone, industry-compatible components for both trackers and fixed tilt systems, as well as in formats optimized for use in integrated NX Horizon™ system solutions. Bentek’s U.S. fabrication footprint further enhances Nextpower’s strong domestic supply chain position.

We are also developing additional integrated system architectures that further streamline installation and reduce costs, including solutions that integrate cabling and electrical systems directly into tracker structures. For example, in September 2025 we announced the launch of NX PowerMerge™ trunk connector, a next generation DC power component designed to streamline electrical balance of systems (eBOS) installation and boost long-term reliability.

AI and Robotics Services

In July 2025, we acquired OnSight Technology Inc. ("OnSight"), an autonomous robotic inspection and fire detection system for solar plants, and launched a new AI and robotics business initiative, focused on applying automation, data, and advanced technologies to solar power plant deployment and operations, including applications in installation, inspection, and ongoing system management. This initiative is supported by the appointment of our first Chief AI and Robotics Officer and targeted technology acquisitions. These efforts are intended to enhance construction efficiency, improve system quality and reliability, and support long-term performance and return on investment of solar power plants.

Risk Mitigation and Operability Solutions

We also offer solutions to improve the resilience and operability of our tracking solutions. These solutions are typically licensed separately and integrated with our tracker products, using embedded sensors, communication and control systems to enable monitoring, automation and system optimization.

We regularly introduce new system features and functionality that can be deployed across both new projects and our existing installed fleet, allowing customers to benefit from ongoing system enhancements over the life of the project. These solutions are intended to improve solar plant operational performance, increase system reliability, and support risk mitigation.

NX Navigator assists solar power plant owners and operators in monitoring, controlling and helping to protect their solar projects through a centralized software platform. The system provides real-time operational visibility at the site, subfield and individual tracker levels. NX Navigator also includes safety features such as single click Hurricane/Typhoon Stow and Hail Stow modes, both of which enable rapid repositioning of trackers to protective stow angles in response to severe weather conditions, helping to reduce the risk of damage.

In fiscal year 2026, we announced the establishment of a global remote monitoring and control center to support the operation of our deployed solar tracking systems. The center is designed to provide centralized oversight of system performance, enabling real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and coordinated response to operational events across customer sites, including response to severe weather events.

Emerging Technologies

We are investing in next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, agrivoltaics, soil monitoring, and advanced automation to improve solar power plant construction, operations, and maintenance. These efforts are part of our broader strategy to develop a more integrated and data-driven ecosystem that connects hardware, software, and control systems across the solar power plant. By leveraging data generated from our installed base and combining it with advanced analytics and automation, we seek to enhance system performance, reduce operating costs, and enable predictive and increasingly autonomous plant operations over time.

These relationships enable us to integrate our products and technologies within broader solar power plant systems and to support efficient project execution.

We also engage with technology partners to advance capabilities in areas such as software, automation, and data analytics, as well as with insurance market participants to support education and risk assessment frameworks for solar assets.

In fiscal year 2026, we established a joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Abdullah Abunayyan Investment Holding (“Abunayyan”) to support the continued growth of our business in the Middle East and North Africa region. This joint venture partnership, through a newly established company named Nextpower Arabia, is intended to enhance our local market presence, strengthen customer engagement, and support project execution by aligning with regional development priorities and local content requirements. Nextpower Arabia will combine Abunayyan’s 75 years of leadership in water and energy infrastructure in the region with our global market share leadership in advanced solar trackers and yield management and control systems. The joint venture includes sales, engineering, and operations, and ownership of manufacturing facilities in Saudi Arabia.

Through these strategic partner relationships, we aim to enhance the performance, reliability, and scalability of our solutions and to support the evolving needs of customers across the project lifecycle.

Sales and marketing

Our sales and marketing strategy is focused on building long-term relationships with key parties involved in developing, building, owning and maintaining utility-scale solar projects. We educate those parties on the benefits of our solutions, including increased energy yield performance, superior constructability, reliability, ease of maintenance and advanced sensor capabilities compared to competing products. We leverage a variety of techniques to build awareness of and communicate our value propositions, including comprehensive digital marketing campaigns, independent studies, white papers, training programs, thought leadership seminars and participation in industry conferences and events. We sell systems both on an individual project basis and through long-term master supply agreements.

Our collaborative, full-project-lifecycle approach to selling involves working closely with developers, independent engineers, EPCs and their subcontractors, project operators and owners, and operations and maintenance providers. We work collaboratively with customers and stakeholders as a strategic partner through all stages of the project lifecycle to ensure success, including collaborating on site design/layout, wind studies, geotechnical analysis and value engineering. Once the sale is completed, our project management teams continue engaging with the customer through installation and commissioning phases to ensure smooth delivery and project execution. Our asset management team then provides ongoing technical and general customer support for the life of the project, offering system monitoring, training programs, spare parts management and other maintenance services. This approach creates a broad array of touchpoints with the customer organization, strengthening loyalty in the relationship that drives repeat business and entry into new markets with the customer.

We have regional sales leaders based in each market that are supported by local project engineering teams and other specialists to help customers evaluate our solutions and optimize system designs in the context of local market characteristics. Due to the critical role of trackers in utility-scale power plants, tracker procurement is based on a complex set of buying criteria with input often coming from multiple stakeholders. As a result, we frequently engage with multiple parties in the sales process including the direct purchaser, such as a developer or EPC, and other stakeholders, such as the long-term plant owner. We believe our comprehensive go-to-market approach throughout the project lifecycle creates stickiness and loyalty in all stakeholder relationships, which can be carried forward as customers expand into new markets.

Our globally diversified operational footprint places sales, engineering and key product and project support functions in close proximity to major tracker markets around the world. This enables us to ensure customer success throughout the project lifecycle, from sales and project design engineering through deployment and commercial operation. We are well-positioned to provide timely commercial and technical support with personnel in the local time zone and within short travel distances to customer and project sites.

In the United States, we maintain dedicated sales staff principally in California and Tennessee, providing coverage across an expansive geographic market. Our international sales representatives are located in Spain (Madrid and Seville), Australia (Manly), Mexico (Mexico City), India (Hyderabad), United Arab Emirates (Dubai), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) and Brazil (São Paulo). Sales employees in Madrid, Manly, Mexico City, Hyderabad, and São Paulo are supplemented by regional project engineering and project management staff with significant local expertise. These regional teams leverage deep understanding of local jurisdictions, regulations, language and culture, and location-specific installation considerations of each project to foster customer success.

Several international offices complement our U.S. headquarters with supply chain, operations and R&D support. Our Hyderabad, India office had over 542 employees across sales, engineering, project management and corporate support functions as of March 31, 2026. This office serves not only as a regional hub to support deployments in South Asia and the emerging Middle East and Africa markets, but also as an independent R&D center, including a recently inaugurated Center for Solar Excellence, that conducts parallel technology development alongside our U.S. headquarters, accelerating time-to-market for new features and products.

Research and development

We commit significant resources to our research and development efforts in order to maintain and extend our differentiated technology and innovation leadership and to enhance value for our customers. Our R&D efforts focus on improving system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency, as well as advancing integration across solar power plant components.

We operate product testing facilities to conduct functional and reliability testing for both individual components and complete system architectures. Approximately 7,800 square feet of laboratory space is dedicated to prototyping and mechanical, electrical

and environmental analysis of our products. In addition, we operate Centers for Solar Excellence in the United States, India, and Brazil, which provide real-world environments for the development, testing, and validation of new technologies and system designs. These facilities support collaboration among our engineering teams and external partners and help accelerate product development and commercialization.

We also maintain internal programs to develop and evaluate new product concepts and next generation technologies. These efforts include initiatives related to plant-level software and control solutions, integration of power plant components, and advanced automation, supporting our broader strategy to develop more integrated and data-driven solar solutions.

Our R&D efforts include work related to severe weather damage mitigation, including wind and hail. We have conducted studies in collaboration with third-party engineering firms and laboratories to better understand environmental stresses on solar tracking systems and to inform the development of protective design and control strategies.

Our team includes engineers and technical personnel across multiple disciplines, including, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, as well as software and data science. As of March 31, 2026, we had over 500 employees engaged in R&D activities.

Our R&D initiatives extend beyond the tracker and include efforts to improve integration with other power plant components, including energy storage systems, with the goal of enhancing overall system performance, availability and operational flexibility.

Intellectual property

The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technologies, information, processes and know-how. As of March 31, 2026, we had 329 issued U.S. patents, 498 granted non-U.S. patents and 745 U.S. and non-U.S. patent applications pending, including provisional patent applications pending in the U.S. and pending applications across our product portfolio. Our U.S. issued patents are scheduled to expire between 2026 and 2050. Our patents cover the broad range of our solutions, including design, construction, control, robotics, power processing, structure, module framing, colocation with agriculture, mounting, assemblies, software, methods, and other solar tracker-related technologies.

In addition to patent protections, we rely on trade secret laws in the U.S. and similar laws in other countries to safeguard our interests with respect to proprietary know-how that is not patentable and processes for which patents are difficult to enforce.

We also use confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements to protect our intellectual property. Our policy is for our employees to enter into confidentiality and proprietary information agreements to address intellectual property protection issues and to assign to us all of the inventions, designs and technologies they develop during the course of employment with us. We also require our customers and business partners to enter into confidentiality agreements before we disclose any sensitive aspects of our technology or business plans. We may not have entered into such agreements with all applicable personnel, customers and partners, and, in the case of proprietary information agreements, such agreements may require additional documentation to assign any proprietary information to us. Moreover, such individuals or entities could breach the terms of such agreements. See Item 1A—Risk Factors—“If we fail to, or incur significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed” for more information regarding other risks related to intellectual property.

Government incentives

Federal, state, local and foreign government bodies provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar electricity in the form of tax credits, rebates and other financial incentives. The range and duration of these incentives varies widely by geographic market. The market for grid-connected applications, where solar power is sold into organized electric markets or under power purchase agreements, often depends in large part on the availability and size of these government subsidies and economic incentives. However, the current legislative and regulatory environment, especially at the U.S. federal level, relating to these programs is subject to ongoing change, and current incentives could be retained, modified, reduced, or eliminated. Developments such as new or expanded tariffs, proposed Congressional bills, if enacted, changes to the tax credit incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (the "OBBBA"), shifts in policy priorities, or changes in government leadership may negatively impact the availability and stability of these incentives.

United States federal incentives

Federal, state, local and foreign government bodies provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar electricity in the form of tax credits, rebates, subsidies and other financial incentives. The range and duration of these incentives varies widely by jurisdiction. Our customers typically use our systems for grid-connected applications wherein solar power is sold under a power purchase agreement or into an organized electric market. This segment of the solar industry has historically depended in large part on the availability and size of government incentives supporting the use of renewable energy.

Historically, the most significant federal tax incentive program for the U.S. solar industry has been the investment tax credit ("ITC") for solar energy projects. The ITC (and its successor under Section 48E commonly referred to as a "tech neutral" credit that became effective January 1, 2025) allows a taxpayer to offset its federal income tax liability by a percentage of its eligible cost basis in a solar energy system put to commercial use. Additionally, federal incentives related to the production of domestic content have provided additional incentives as further described below.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") made significant changes to the federal income tax credits available to solar energy projects, including the ITC under Section 48 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) for certain energy projects. As a result of changes made by the IRA, United States taxpayers may be entitled to a 30% tax credit under the ITC (now Section 48E), for certain qualifying projects and increased further to 40% for projects that satisfy certain “domestic content” requirements. Guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department regarding the availability of the ITC has changed in the past and is subject to change in the future. The IRA also introduced a per-unit tax credit (the “Section 45X Credit” or “45X Credit”) that is earned over time for certain clean energy components domestically produced and sold by a manufacturer. The IRA itself was substantially amended by the OBBBA (described below) on July 4, 2025, including with respect to the Section 48E and the Section 45X Credit, in a manner which materially reduced the future availability of these credits.

Under the IRA, investments in certain solar projects may qualify for a domestic content bonus credit amount if the solar energy project satisfies certain “domestic content” requirements. On May 12, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2023-38 providing guidance with respect to the IRA’s domestic content bonus credit. On May 16, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2024-41, which includes a “safe harbor” that taxpayers may use to classify certain components of solar projects and for the purpose of qualifying for the domestic content bonus credit. On January 16, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2025-08, which introduced an updated elective safe harbor for the domestic content bonus credit. Generally, for a qualified facility or energy project to qualify for a domestic content bonus, the project must include specified amounts of U.S.-manufactured iron, steel and manufactured products and be able to substantiate that content and its country of manufacture. We have invested in developing a supply chain and U.S. manufacturing footprint to allow us to sell customers a solar tracker that we believe complies with the domestic content requirements provided in the Notices discussed above.

In 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS issued final Treasury regulations on the elective payment of applicable credits under Section 6417 of the IRC and the transfer of certain credits under Section 6418 of the IRC. These final Treasury regulations provide guidance to taxpayers related to selling applicable tax credits including the ITC and Section 45X Credit. The Section 45X Credit amount is reduced each year by 25% in calendar years 2030, 2031 and 2032. Under current law, there are no Section 45X Credits available for components sold after December 31, 2032.

The 45X Treasury regulations confirm that torque tubes and structural fasteners, including several used in our trackers, may qualify as eligible components.

The amount of the Section 45X Credit varies depending on the eligible component. In the case of torque tubes and structural fasteners, the credit amount is equal to $0.87 per kilogram and $2.28 per kilogram, respectively, through the end of 2029.

Our eligible U.S. manufacturing suppliers avail themselves of the Section 45X Credits to varying degrees and we accounted for some of these economic benefits in our cost of acquiring torque tubes and structural fasteners. Beginning in calendar year 2025, in certain circumstances we have directly obtained the benefit of the Section 45X Credit through the use of an election authorized in the Section 45X Treasury regulations promulgated.

In lieu of Section 48E, as a result of changes made by the IRA, United States taxpayers may elect to claim a production tax credit under Section 45Y of the IRC for qualified solar facilities if the construction of the facility began after December 31, 2024 and the facility is timely placed in service for federal income tax purposes.

The PTC is available in respect of kilowatt hours of electricity produced by a qualifying solar project and sold to one or more unrelated persons during the ten years following the date on which the qualifying solar project is placed in service. The amount of PTC available varies based on an annual inflation adjustment. The available credit amount is increased by up to 10% if the domestic content requirements described above are satisfied.

The IRA created Sections 48E and 45Y, which are “technology neutral” tax credit incentives that replace each of the ITC and the production tax credit under Section 45 of the IRC (“PTC”), respectively, for certain qualifying projects that begin construction after 2024. These provisions require that a project satisfy a “zero greenhouse gas emissions” standard in order to qualify for the tax credits. Taxpayers that began construction of energy projects or facilities that qualify for the ITC or PTC prior to 2025 may choose to claim the ITC, PTC, or one of the “technology neutral” tax credits in respect of the project assuming that certain continuous construction requirements are met.

On January 7, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released final Treasury regulations which were published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2025 regarding the Section 45Y Credit and Section 48E with respect to certain qualified facilities and/or energy storage technology claiming such tax credits.

On July 4, 2025, a U.S. federal budget reconciliation bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA, among other things, materially changed most of the federal renewable energy incentives, including those described in Sections 45X, 48E, and 45Y. In particular, the OBBBA significantly altered the availability of the Section 48E and 45Y tax credits our customers rely upon for qualified solar facilities. For example, whereas under the IRA, Section 48E and 45Y credits were available through 2032 or such later period until the U.S. power sector emitted 75% less carbon emissions than 2022 levels, the OBBBA substantially reduced this timeframe to require that projects begin construction by July 4, 2026 to utilize a continuity safe harbor that permits solar projects to be placed in service within four calendar years following the calendar year in which the project began construction for tax credit eligibility. Alternatively, solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to qualify for the Section 48E and 45Y credits. Such acceleration in the expiration of these tax credits will reduce the number of projects in future years that would have otherwise qualified for such credits, likely reducing the overall project volume over time.

Additionally, on July 7, 2025 President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of the Treasury to take measures to strictly enforce the termination of the Sections 48E and 45Y credits for wind and solar facilities. The Executive Order specifically directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue new restrictions concerning “beginning of construction” requirements that appear in many provisions of the OBBBA and which govern eligibility for these tax credits. The Executive Order targets “safe harbor” practices in which our customers seek to establish that their projects have begun construction by the relevant deadline (and therefore qualify for the tax credit) by incurring 5% or more of applicable project costs. Treasury guidance required by this Executive Order was issued on August 22, 2025 in the form of IRS Notice 2025-42. Under this guidance the 5% safe harbor was eliminated effective September 2, 2025 and additional requirements were imposed on solar projects for purposes of demonstrating both the start of physical construction and continuous physical construction thereafter.

In addition, the OBBBA introduced certain “foreign entity of concern” (“FEOC”) restrictions relating to prohibited foreign entities on owners of qualified facilities claiming such Section 48E and 45Y tax credits, as well as on manufacturers of components that otherwise qualify for the Section 45X credit. Under these rules, a “prohibited foreign entity” includes a “specified foreign entity” or “foreign influenced entity,” and in general means that certain entities (governments or companies) that are under the ownership, control, or influence of deemed foreign adversaries, such as China, are ineligible for such tax credits. Under the OBBBA a taxpayer must comply with the FEOC rules applicable to a tax credit in order to qualify for such tax credit. The FEOC restrictions apply to Sections 45X, 48E and 45Y in somewhat different ways. However, these rules generally require that Nextpower evaluate its ownership, the ownership of certain members of its supply chain partners, any rights regarding the ability to appoint board members and executives of Nextpower and its supply chain partners, certain payments made by Nextpower and its supply chain partners, and certain contractual arrangements entered into by Nextpower and its supply chain partners with other parties. On February 12, 2026 the U.S. Treasury Department issued interim guidance under Notice 2026-15 regarding material assistance tests related to prohibited foreign entities, and requested public comment. Additional Treasury guidance and/or regulations implementing the FEOC provisions of the OBBBA are pending and may alter current interpretations of the restrictions.

The federal government also currently permits accelerated depreciation by the owner, and in some cases “bonus” depreciation (e.g., 100% in the case of property placed in service after January 19, 2025), based on the year the property is placed in service, for certain equipment it purchases, including solar energy systems.

Changes to tax laws and regulations, as well as Executive Orders, that are applied adversely to us or our customers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including our ability to optimize those changes brought about by the passage of the IRA and OBBBA. See Item 1A – Risk Factors – “The reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating or restricting the use of, renewable energy and solar energy specifically could reduce demand for solar energy systems and harm our business” for more information regarding other risks related to government incentives.

State and local incentives

Many U.S. states have adopted procurement requirements for renewable energy production and/or a renewable portfolio standard that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered to customers in the state from eligible renewable energy sources, including utility-scale solar power generation facilities, by a specified date.

Some states also offer incentives for distributed generation solar projects, such as a corporate investment or production tax credit for renewable energy facilities. Additionally, many states and local jurisdictions have established property tax incentives for renewable energy facilities that include exemptions, exclusions, abatements and credits.

International incentives

The international markets in which we operate or may operate in the future may have in place policies to promote renewable energy, including solar. These mechanisms vary from country to country. In seeking to achieve growth internationally, we may make investments that, to some extent, rely on governmental incentives in international jurisdictions.

Manufacturing

We utilize a ‘capex-light’ manufacturing model, in which most components, including steel parts, are produced by outside qualified vendors through contract manufacturing arrangements. As of March 31, 2026, total global manufacturing capacity was approximately 1,500 MW per week, enabling the support of approximately 80 GW of annual shipments. By outsourcing most of our product manufacturing, we achieved this global capacity with close to no capital investment.

As of March 31, 2026, we had contract manufacturing arrangements with more than 100 facilities located in 19 countries across five continents. This supply chain diversity reflects unique strategies for each of our key global customer markets, optimizing landed costs and lowering risk. We intend to continue to expand our manufacturing footprint to further enable local content in the markets we service.

While we outsource the manufacturing for the vast majority of our components, we do own and operate manufacturing facilities on a very limited basis, including a manufacturing facility for our controllers in Brazil and for our eBOS products in California. Our joint venture Nextpower Arabia also owns factory operations for certain tracker components in Saudi Arabia.

For the U.S. market, in 2018 following the introduction of tariffs by the U.S. government on imports of Chinese steel and certain solar equipment, we shifted our supply chain to U.S. and other non-China vendors where possible, supplementing capacity with neighboring countries and countries with favorable commercial relationships with the U.S. In some other countries, we developed locally sourced components in order to meet regulatory or customer requirements.

In 2021 and 2022, we further expanded our U.S. supply chain vendor relationships in response to ongoing global logistics and shipping challenges and in anticipation of possible U.S. federal legislation incentivizing domestic manufacturing. The IRA implemented such incentives by, among other things, providing manufacturing tax credits for producing and selling certain tracker components (torque tubes and structural fasteners) in the U.S., and providing an enhanced ITC for solar projects that meet domestic content requirements. See the section entitled “Business—Government incentives—United States federal incentives.”

Our U.S. supply chain approach has been to secure raw material supply commitments with steel mills located in various regions of the U.S. The steel coils produced by such mills are transferred directly to manufacturing suppliers, also known as fabricators, with whom we have established contract manufacturing agreements to produce finished tracker parts such as our primary component torque tubes. We currently have contracts to provide us with a total annual capacity of more than 40 GW of manufacturing for our primary components. More than 30 U.S. fabricators currently manufacture various tracker components. We have prioritized geographic location as a key criterion for U.S. fabricator selection, resulting in a regionally distributed network of manufacturing facilities that are often co-located with or near U.S. mills where steel is melted, processed and coated

domestically. This minimizes material handling costs between production steps while reducing transportation costs and delivery times to regional customer project sites.

Monitoring and control of our global supply chain is accomplished through our internal enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. Additionally, we have invested in solutions to further enhance real-time tracking through business systems and business intelligence tools providing visibility into supply chain key performance indicators and enabling rapid response in case of any deviations. Along with these systems, we also have a dedicated team focused on environmental, trade compliance and other external risks to plan for potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. We utilize an internal demand forecasting process to promote sound decisions around capacity development and supplier diversification over the appropriate time horizons. Our regular suppliers typically enter into a “Global Business Agreement” with us, providing contractual parameters to right-size their inventory of finished and semi-finished goods and facilitate on-time deliveries.

To reduce material movement and inventory, we prioritize drop-shipping all components manufactured by our vendors directly to customer sites. This allows us to minimize warehousing of finished goods inventories, which are used mainly for contingency purposes and warranty replacements. We lease approximately 300,000 square feet of warehouse space across various global facilities, including California, Nevada, Brazil, China and India.

Competition

Our solutions are specialized products that are specific to the solar industry. The expertise required to design trackers and customers’ reluctance to purchase products from new entrants with a limited history has resulted in a bifurcation of providers based on their track record with major customers. Our principal competitors are Arctech Solar, Array Technologies, GameChange Solar, PV Hardware, Shoals Technologies Group and TrinaSolar Co., Ltd. We also compete with smaller market participants in various geographies. From time to time, we compete indirectly with manufacturers of fixed-tilt systems in certain emerging markets.

We believe the principal factors that drive competition between vendors in the market include:

•established track record of product performance;

•system energy yield;

•software capabilities;

•product features;

•total cost of ownership and return on investment;

•reliability;

•customer support;

•product warranty terms;

•services;

•supply chain and logistics capabilities; and

•financial strength and stability.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Our commitment to ESG is consistent with Nextpower’s mission and vision.

Nextpower is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a merit-based culture where employees thrive. We work together in an open, collaborative environment that offers autonomy and flexibility, engages employees intellectually, and allows for camaraderie and team building.

The Nominating, Governance and Public Responsibility Committee (“NGPRC”) of our Board of Directors oversees our ESG strategy and the ESG Executive Sponsor provides periodic updates to the NGPRC on progress. In addition, we maintain an ESG Executive Council and a cross-functional ESG Steering Committee, led by the ESG Director, to drive our sustainability

strategy and initiatives. Our ESG team meets regularly with the executive leadership team, executive council, and the ESG steering committee to review our strategy, program and progress.

In fiscal year 2026, we issued our second sustainability report that included our response to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standard for the Electrical & Electronic Equipment industry, as well as our first report in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We also reflected our alignment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in each section of the sustainability report.

Privacy and Data Protection Laws and Regulations

We are or may become subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection. For example, in the United States, at the federal level, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in or affecting commerce, which extends to privacy and data protection practices. There is also discussion in Congress of new federal privacy and data protection laws to which we may become subject if enacted. At the state level, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, requires companies that process information relating to California residents to implement stringent data protection measures and to make disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, and allows consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties. Similar laws have passed in a number of other states and additional privacy and data protection laws have been proposed as well. Moreover, laws in all 50 U.S. states require businesses to provide notice under certain circumstances to consumers whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach.

At the international level, we are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) and its equivalent in the United Kingdom (“UK GDPR”), which impose stringent operational requirements on both data controllers and data processors, and introduce significant penalties for non-compliance. While the EU GDPR and UK GDPR remain substantially similar for the time being, the UK government has announced that it would seek to chart its own path on privacy and data protection and reform its relevant laws, including in ways that may differ from the EU GDPR. Legal developments in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom also have created complexity and uncertainty regarding processing and transfers of personal data from the EEA to the United States and other so-called third countries outside the EEA and the United Kingdom.

If laws, regulations, rules and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection are implemented, interpreted or applied in a manner inconsistent with our current or future practices or policies, or if we fail to comply with applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to investigations, enforcement actions and other proceedings. See Item 1A—Risk Factors—“Failure to comply with current or future federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects” for more information regarding other risks related to privacy and data protection.

Human capital

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 1,993 full-time employees. Our employees span eight offices globally, including over 578 employees in technical, development or engineering roles. We frequently hire sales, engineering, operational and corporate support staff in countries outside the U.S. in order to better and more efficiently support our regional customers’ solar projects and supply chain activities. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 48% of our employees were based in the U.S., approximately 27% of our employees were based in India and the remainder of our employees were based in other international offices. To a lesser extent, we also use contract workers retained through third-party agencies.

Talent management

We foster a culture that values global perspectives, meritocracy, collaboration and inclusion. Our strength lies in the talent, dedication and unique viewpoints of every employee. To support an inclusive work environment, we provide clear communication, training and resources through our global learning platform. Inclusivity training is part of our onboarding process, and a global Head of Talent Management reports to our Chief Human Resources Manager to lead employee growth and engagement strategies.

We believe in a meritocracy, where employees are recognized and rewarded based on their contributions, performance, and potential. This principle guides our approach to talent management and supports our pay-for-performance philosophy. Meritocracy helps ensure that decisions around compensation, promotions and development are grounded in fairness,

consistency and objective performance data. This principle fosters trust in our processes and motivates employees to grow, perform and contribute meaningfully to our collective success.

We prioritize ongoing growth through learning opportunities, dynamic assignments, and leadership development. Employees manage their career paths through annual performance reviews, supported by regular manager check-ins and feedback.

We have also established global Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”), which are open to all employees and help build community while supporting inclusive programs and employee-led events.

We encourage open feedback through leadership engagement, town halls and employee surveys to continually enhance the employee experience.

Fair wages and benefits

Our total rewards packages are designed to be competitive in the markets in which we operate and are linked to company results and employee performance. We are subject to certain domestic and foreign employment laws regarding wage and benefit requirements. In addition, all of our employees in Spain and Brazil, which together represented approximately 15% of our workforce as of March 31, 2026, are covered by local collective bargaining agreements.

Wellness, health and safety

Providing a safe environment for our employees to thrive is one of our core values. We promote a safety culture through health and safety management systems that implement a data-driven and risk-based approach in monitoring and reporting performance regularly. Our safety management system was certified compliant with the global ISO 45001 standard in 2024.

We build awareness and share specific information about safety with employees around the world through a number of pathways. Our staff are trained to be competent and to do their jobs safely, and we offer extensive safety training for those that need additional protocols. We offer a range of internal and external safety trainings, ranging from basic safety on-boarding training for all staff, to highly specialized technical safety training for certain roles, e.g. electrical safety or hazardous materials handling.

We have risk assessment and control processes in place designed to prevent injuries and minimize operational risks, including incident reporting and analysis. We have developed a standard process across the business providing consistent identification, evaluation and control of existing and potential workplace hazards. Our standardized incident analysis process enables us to determine root causes of injuries, implement corrective actions and prevent recurrence, and provides improved data analytics and lessons learned.

Environmental laws and regulations

We are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety (“EHS”) laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and in which our products are distributed. We do not believe the costs of compliance with these laws and regulations will be material to the business or our operations. We use, handle, generate, store, discharge and dispose of hazardous materials, chemicals and wastes at some of our facilities in connection with our maintenance, research and product development, and testing activities. Any failure by us to control the use of, to remediate the presence of or to restrict adequately the discharge of such materials, chemicals or wastes, or to comply with EHS legal requirements applicable to product content, labeling, distribution or disposal, could subject us to potentially significant liabilities, clean-up costs, monetary damages and fines or suspensions in our business operations. In addition, some of our facilities could be located on properties with a history of use involving hazardous materials, chemicals and wastes and may be contaminated. Although we have not incurred, and do not currently anticipate, any material liabilities in connection with such contamination, we may be required to make expenditures for environmental remediation in the future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business and our ability to execute our strategy are subject to many risks. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Summary of Risk Factors

•The demand for solar energy and, in turn, our products is impacted by many factors outside of our control, and if such demand does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, our business and prospects will suffer.

•Competitive pressures within our industry may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

•We face competition from conventional and other renewable energy sources that may offer products and solutions that are less expensive or otherwise perceived to be more advantageous than solar energy solutions.

•Delays in construction projects and any failure to manage our inventory could have a material adverse effect on us.

•Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations.

•The reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating or restricting the use of, renewable energy and solar energy specifically could reduce demand for solar energy systems and harm our business.

•International regulation of and incentives for solar projects vary by jurisdiction and may change or be eliminated.

•Changes in the global trade environment, including the imposition of tariffs, other import duties and trade restrictions, could adversely affect our business growth and the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows.

•Future acquisitions, strategic investments, strategic transactions, partnerships, joint ventures or alliances could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•We rely heavily on our suppliers and our operations could be disrupted if we encounter problems with our suppliers or if there are disruptions in our supply chain.

•Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•If we do not maintain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices and disclosures that meet the expectations of customers, regulators, employees, and investors, our relationships with these stakeholders could suffer, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

•Our business and industry, including our customers and suppliers, are subject to risks of severe weather events, natural disasters, climate change and other catastrophic events.

•Third party technology system limitations or failures could harm our business.

•Our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed by evolving regulatory uncertainty or obligations applicable to our products and services.

•We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations.

•Our continued expansion into new markets could subject us to additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks.

•The development and use of artificial intelligence in our business introduces risks that could adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and reputation.

•Electric utility industry policies and regulations may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that could significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete.

•A drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Technological advances in the solar components industry or developments in alternative technologies could render our systems uncompetitive or obsolete.

•If we fail to, or incur significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed.

•We use “open source” software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more open source licenses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•We invest significant time, resources and management attention to identifying and developing project leads that are subject to our sales and marketing focus and if we are unsuccessful in converting such project leads into binding purchase orders, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

•Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties on whom we rely for new projects and who provide us with valuable customer feedback that helps guide our innovation.

•We may need to defend ourselves against third-party claims that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating others’ intellectual property rights, which could divert management’s attention, cause us to incur significant costs, and prevent us from selling or using the technology to which such rights relate.

•Failure by our manufacturers or our component or raw material suppliers to use ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•We could be adversely affected by any violations of the FCPA and other foreign anti-bribery laws.

Some statements in this Annual Report, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Special note regarding forward-looking statements.”

Risks related to our business and our industry

The demand for solar energy and, in turn, our products is impacted by many factors outside of our control, and if such demand does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, our business and prospects will suffer.

Our future success depends on continued demand for utility-scale solar energy. Solar energy is a rapidly evolving and competitive market that has experienced substantial changes in recent years, and we cannot be certain that EPCs, developers, owners and operators of solar projects will remain active in the market or that new potential customers will pursue solar energy as an energy source at levels sufficient to grow our business. The demand for solar energy, and in turn, our products, may be affected by many factors outside of our control, including:

•availability, scale and scope of government subsidies, government and tax incentives and financing sources to support the development and commercialization of solar energy solutions, including the timing, interpretation and implementation of such programs;

•levels of investment by project developers and owners of solar energy products, which tend to decrease when economic growth slows or capital becomes more expensive or less available;

•the emergence, continuance or success of, or increased government support for, other alternative or conventional energy generation technologies and products;

•local, state and federal permitting and other regulatory requirements related to environmental, land use and transmission issues, each of which can significantly impact the feasibility and timelines for solar projects and may result in delays, increased costs or project cancellations;

•technical and regulatory limitations regarding the interconnection of solar energy systems to the electrical grid;

•the cost and availability of raw materials and components necessary to produce solar energy, such as steel, polysilicon and semiconductor chips;

•regional, national or global macroeconomic trends, including further increased interest rates, inflation or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt financing, which could make it difficult for project developers and owners to finance the cost of a solar energy system and new projects; and

•shifts in electricity demand, including those with the rapid expansion of data centers and other energy-intensive facilities, which may affect the timing, scale or economics of solar development or the competitiveness of solar energy relative to other generation technologies.

If demand for solar energy fails to continue to grow, demand for our products will plateau or decrease, which would have an adverse impact on our ability to increase our revenue and grow our business. In addition, demand may be volatile and subject to

regional or project-specific fluctuations, which may make it difficult to forecast our operating results. If we are not able to mitigate these risks and overcome these difficulties successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Competitive pressures within our industry may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We face intense competition from a large number of solar tracker companies in nearly all of the markets in which we compete. The solar tracker industry is currently fragmented and competition may increase further as the industry evolves or consolidates. This may result in price competition, including downward pressure on pricing, which could adversely affect our revenue and margins. In addition, as we expand our product offerings and offer additional technologies and services, the size and number of competitors will continue to increase.

Some of our competitors are developing or are currently manufacturing products based on different solar power technologies that may ultimately have costs similar to or lower than our projected costs. In addition, some of our competitors have or may in the future have lower costs of goods sold, lower operating costs, greater name and brand recognition in specific markets in which we compete or intend to sell our products, greater market shares, access to larger customer bases, greater resources and significantly greater economies of scale than we do. Additionally, new competitors may enter our market as a result of, among other factors, lower research and development costs, reduced barriers to entry or the availability of government incentives or financing.

We may also face adverse competitive effects from other participants in the solar industry. For example, the price for solar panels has experienced significant declines in several markets globally in recent periods. Substantial pricing declines for panels can make the returns on investment for tracker technology less competitive in comparison to fixed tilt racking systems. In addition, other risks include EPCs subjecting their subcontractors who compete for their business, such as us, to contractual clauses that carry higher contractual risk to us, such as “pay if paid” clauses that require an EPC to pay us only when the EPC’s end customer pays the EPC, higher liquidated damages amounts, increased contractual liabilities above 100% of the contract value and more limited force majeure clauses, among others, which could increase our risk exposure, reduce our margins or adversely affect our cash flows.

In addition, part of our strategy is to continue to grow our revenues from international markets. Any new geographic market could have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell products, and our ability to compete in such markets will depend on our ability to adapt properly to these differences, including local regulatory requirements, customer preferences, competitive dynamics, currency fluctuations and geopolitical considerations. We may also face competition from lower cost providers in any new markets we enter, which could decrease the demand for our products or cause us to reduce the cost of our products in order to remain competitive. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We face competition from conventional and other renewable energy sources that may offer products and solutions that are less expensive or otherwise perceived to be more advantageous than solar energy solutions.

We face significant competition from providers of conventional and other renewable energy alternatives such as coal, nuclear, natural gas and wind, as well as emerging technologies such as energy storage and hybrid generation solutions. We compete with conventional energy sources primarily based on price, predictability of price and energy availability, environmental considerations and the ease with which customers can use electricity generated by solar energy projects. If solar energy systems cannot offer a compelling value to customers based on these factors, then our business growth may be impaired.

Conventional energy sources generally have substantially greater financial, technical, operational and other resources than solar energy sources, and as a result may be able to devote more resources to research, development, promotion and product sales or respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changes in market conditions than solar energy systems. Conventional and other renewable energy sources may be better suited than solar for certain locations or customer requirements and may also offer other value-added products or services that could help them compete with solar energy sources. In addition, conventional generation technologies, particularly those using fossil fuels, may in certain markets be able to produce electricity at a lower cost than solar, particularly where fuel costs are low or subsidized. Non-renewable generation is typically available for dispatch at any time, as it is not dependent on the availability of intermittent resources such as sunlight, which may make such generation more attractive to certain customers or grid operators, particularly in markets that do not adequately compensate for intermittency or capacity attributes.

In addition, advancements in competing technologies, including improvements in energy storage, grid infrastructure or alternative renewable generation sources, could reduce the relative advantages of solar energy or alter customer preferences. The cost-effectiveness, performance and reliability of solar energy products and services, compared to conventional and other renewable energy sources, could materially and adversely affect the demand for our products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Delays in construction projects and any failure to manage our inventory could have a material adverse effect on us.

Many of our products are used in large-scale projects, which generally require a significant amount of planning and preparation and which have been and can be delayed and rescheduled for a number of reasons, including customer or partner labor availability, difficulties in complying with environmental and other government regulations or obtaining permits, interconnection delays, financing issues, changes in project priorities, additional time required to acquire rights-of-way or property rights, unanticipated soil conditions, or health-related shutdowns or other work stoppages. These delays have in the past resulted in and may in the future result in unplanned downtime, increased costs and inefficiencies in our operations, and increased levels of excess inventory.

Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations.

Our quarterly results of operations are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Because we recognize revenue on projects as legal title to equipment is transferred from us to the customer, any delays in large projects from one quarter to another may cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations. We have experienced seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in the past as a result of a variety of factors, including fluctuations in our customers’ businesses, changes in local and global market trends, fluctuations in economic, political, financial, industry and market conditions, regulatory or policy changes causing customers to delay, change or abandon their projects, as well as seasonal weather-related disruptions. For example, our customers’ ability to install solar energy systems is affected by weather, such as during the winter months. Inclement weather may also affect our logistics and operations by causing delays in the shipping and delivery of our materials, components and products which may, in turn, cause delays in our customers’ solar projects.

Further, given that we operate in a rapidly growing industry, the true extent of these fluctuations may have been masked by our recent growth rates and consequently may not be readily apparent from our historical results of operations and may be difficult to predict. Our financial performance, sales, working capital requirements and cash flows may fluctuate, and our past quarterly results of operations may not be good indicators of future performance or prospects. Any substantial fluctuation in revenues could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price for any given period. In addition, revenue and other operating results in future fiscal quarters may fall short of the expectations of investors and financial analysts, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

The reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating or restricting the use of, renewable energy and solar energy specifically could reduce demand for solar energy systems and harm our business.

Federal, state, local and foreign government bodies provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar electricity in the form of tax credits, rebates, subsidies and other financial incentives. The range and duration of these incentives varies widely by jurisdiction. Our customers typically use our systems for grid-connected applications wherein solar power is sold under a power purchase agreement or into an organized electric market. This segment of the solar industry has historically depended in large part on the availability and size of government incentives supporting the use of renewable energy. Consequently, the reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for grid-connected solar electricity may negatively affect the competitiveness of solar electricity relative to conventional and non-solar renewable sources of electricity, and could harm or halt the growth of the solar electricity industry and our business. These reductions, eliminations or expirations could occur without warning. Any changes to the existing framework of these incentives could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and create uncertainty in customer demand and project timing.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) made significant changes to the federal income tax credits available to solar energy projects, including the ITC under Section 48 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) for certain energy projects. As a result of changes made by the IRA, United States taxpayers may be entitled to a 30% tax credit under the ITC (now Section 48E), for certain qualifying projects and increased further to 40% for projects that satisfy certain "domestic content" requirements. Guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department regarding the availability of the ITC (and its successor under

Section 48E commonly referred to as a “tech neutral” credit that became effective January 1, 2025) has changed in the past and is subject to change in the future. The IRA also introduced a per-unit tax credit (the “Section 45X Credit” or “45X Credit”) that is earned over time for certain clean energy components domestically produced and sold by a manufacturer. The IRA itself was substantially amended by the OBBBA (described below) on July 4, 2025, including with respect to the Section 48E and the Section 45X Credit, in a manner which materially reduced the future availability of these credits.

Under the IRA, investments in certain solar projects may qualify for an additional bonus credit amount if the solar energy project satisfies certain “domestic content” requirements. On May 12, 2023, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2023-38 providing guidance with respect to the IRA’s domestic content bonus credit. On May 16, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2024-41, which includes a “safe harbor” that taxpayers may use to classify certain components of solar projects for the purpose of qualifying for the domestic content bonus credit. On January 16, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2025-08, which introduced an updated elective safe harbor for the domestic content bonus credit. Generally, for a qualified facility or energy project to qualify for a domestic content bonus, the project must include specified amounts of U.S.-manufactured iron, steel and manufactured products and be able to substantiate that content and its country of manufacture. We have invested in developing a supply chain and U.S. manufacturing footprint to allow us to sell customers a solar tracker that we believe complies with the domestic content requirements provided in the Notices discussed above.

In 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS issued final Treasury regulations on the elective payment of applicable credits under Section 6417 of the IRC and the transfer of certain credits under Section 6418 of the IRC. These final Treasury regulations provide guidance to taxpayers related to selling applicable tax credits including the ITC and Section 45X Credit.

On October 28, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS published the 45X Treasury regulations regarding the Section 45X Credit, which became effective on December 27, 2024. The 45X Treasury regulations confirm that torque tubes and structural fasteners, including several used in our trackers, may qualify as eligible components.

The amount of the Section 45X Credit varies depending on the eligible component. In the case of torque tubes and structural fasteners, the credit amount is equal to $0.87 per kilogram and $2.28 per kilogram, respectively, through the end of 2029.

The Section 45X Credit amount will be reduced each year by 25% starting in 2030 and end after 2032. Our eligible U.S. manufacturing suppliers avail themselves of the Section 45X Credits to varying degrees and we accounted for some of these economic benefits in our cost of acquiring torque tubes and structural fasteners. Beginning in calendar year 2025, in certain circumstances, we have directly obtained the benefit of the Section 45X Credit through the use of an election authorized in the Section 45X Treasury regulations.

In lieu of Section 48E, as a result of changes made by the IRA, United States taxpayers may elect to claim a production tax credit under Section 45Y of the IRC for qualified solar facilities if the construction of the facility began after December 31, 2024 and the facility is timely placed in service for federal income tax purposes.

The PTC is available in respect of kilowatt hours of electricity produced by a qualifying solar project and sold to one or more unrelated persons during the ten years following the date on which the qualifying solar project is placed in service. The amount of PTC available varies based on an annual inflation adjustment. The available credit amount is increased by up to 10% if the domestic content requirements described above are satisfied.

The IRA created Sections 48E and 45Y, which are “technology neutral” tax credit incentives that replace each of the ITC and the production tax credit under Section 45 of the IRC (“PTC”), respectively, for certain qualifying projects that begin construction after 2024. These provisions require that a project satisfy a “zero greenhouse gas emissions” standard in order to qualify for the tax credits. Taxpayers that began construction of energy projects or facilities that qualify for the ITC or PTC prior to 2025 may choose to claim the ITC, PTC, or one of the “technology neutral” tax credits in respect of the project assuming that certain continuous construction requirements are met.

On January 7, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released final Treasury regulations which were published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2025 regarding the Section 45Y Credit and Section 48E with respect to certain qualified facilities and/or energy storage technology claiming such tax credits.

On July 4, 2025, a U.S. federal budget reconciliation bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA, among other things, materially changed most of the federal renewable energy incentives, including those described in Sections 45X, 48E, and 45Y. In particular, the OBBBA significantly altered the availability of the Section 48E and 45Y tax credits our customers rely upon for qualified solar facilities. For example, whereas under the IRA, Section 48E and

45Y credits were available through 2032 or such later period until the U.S. power sector emitted 75% less carbon emissions than 2022 levels, the OBBBA substantially reduced this timeframe to require that projects begin construction by July 4, 2026 to utilize a continuity safe harbor that permits solar projects to be placed in service within four calendar years following the calendar year in which the project began construction for tax credit eligibility. Alternatively, solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to qualify for the Section 48E and 45Y credits. Such acceleration in the expiration of these tax credits will reduce the number of projects in future years that would have otherwise qualified for such credits, likely reducing the overall project volume over time.

Additionally, on July 7, 2025 President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of the Treasury to take measures to strictly enforce the termination of the Sections 48E and 45Y credits for wind and solar facilities. The Executive Order specifically directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue new restrictions concerning “beginning of construction” requirements that appear in many provisions of the OBBBA and which govern eligibility for these tax credits. The Executive Order targets “safe harbor” practices in which our customers seek to establish that their projects have begun construction by the relevant deadline (and therefore qualify for the tax credit) by incurring 5% or more of applicable project costs. Treasury guidance required by this Executive Order was issued on August 22, 2025 in the form of IRS Notice 2025-42. Under this guidance the 5% safe harbor was eliminated effective September 2, 2025 and additional requirements were imposed on solar projects for purposes of demonstrating both the start of physical construction and continuous physical construction thereafter. Such requirements may diminish our customers’ ability to qualify their projects for Section 48E or 45Y tax credits, which in turn could reduce demand for our products and materially harm our business and results of operations.

In addition, the OBBBA introduced certain “foreign entity of concern” (“FEOC”) restrictions relating to prohibited foreign entities on owners of qualified facilities claiming such Section 48E and 45Y tax credits, as well as on manufacturers of components that otherwise qualify for the Section 45X credit. Under these rules, a “prohibited foreign entity” includes a “specified foreign entity” or “foreign influenced entity”, and in general means that certain entities (governments or companies) that are under the ownership, control, or influence of deemed foreign adversaries, such as China, are ineligible for such tax credits. Under the OBBBA a taxpayer must comply with the FEOC rules applicable to a tax credit in order to qualify for such tax credit. The FEOC restrictions apply to Sections 45X, 48E and 45Y in somewhat different ways. However, these rules generally require that Nextpower evaluate its ownership, the ownership of certain members of its supply chain partners, any rights regarding the ability to appoint board members and executives of Nextpower and its supply chain partners, certain payments made by Nextpower and its supply chain partners, and certain contractual arrangements entered into by Nextpower and its supply chain partners with other parties. On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Treasury Department issued interim guidance under Notice 2026-15 regarding material assistance tests related to prohibited foreign entities, and requested public comment. Additional Treasury guidance and/or regulations implementing the FEOC provisions of the OBBBA are pending and may alter current interpretations of the restrictions.

Nextpower is currently evaluating itself and its supply chain partners who provide components for U.S. qualified facilities and will continue to do so as the Treasury Department issues clarifying guidance or regulations. To the extent that our suppliers are disqualified from 45X eligibility as a result of FEOC restrictions, our cost of goods sold may increase and we may become less profitable and/or competitive. In addition, to the extent our tracker components are produced by suppliers which impair our customers’ ability to qualify their projects for Section 48E or 45Y credits (or related domestic content bonus credits), we may become less competitive and our business and results of operations could be materially harmed.

Although we continue to expand our international presence, the impact of the OBBBA, Executive Orders, Treasury Department guidance, and other regulatory actions on the U.S. solar market may adversely impact our business. The substantially reduced timelines for our customers to qualify for the Section 48E or 45Y tax credits may reduce the number of solar projects that our customers build in the United States and therefore reduce the demand for our trackers in the U.S. market. In addition, we may not have an adequate supply of tracker products that satisfy the FEOC or domestic content requirements to remain competitive and meet customer demand. Compliance with FEOC and domestic content requirements also may increase our record-keeping, accounting and production costs.

The OBBBA did not change the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements imposed on our customers by the IRA. If we or our customers are unable to satisfy or cure respective prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements for projects that establish the beginning of construction on or after January 29, 2023, the tax credits available to the customers will be substantially lower. If we or a significant portion of our customers are unable to satisfy prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements under the IRA, demand for our tracker products may be adversely impacted by the reduced tax credits available to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain provisions of the IRA have been the subject of substantial public interest and have been subject to debate, and there are divergent views on potential implementation, guidance, rules and regulatory principles by a diverse group of interested parties. We expect a similar pattern of divergent interpretations with respect to OBBBA, the Executive Order and implementing guidance and regulations. There can be no assurance that our products will fully qualify for the benefits under the IRA or the OBBBA or that competitors will not disproportionately benefit or gain competitive advantages as a result of the implementation or interpretation of these laws. In addition, if our suppliers incorrectly interpret the requirements of the tax credits or the OBBBA and it is later determined that the tax credits were incorrectly claimed, we may be penalized. As a result, the final interpretation and implementation of the provisions in the IRA or OBBBA could have a material adverse impact on us.

Furthermore, future legislative enactments or administrative actions could limit, amend, repeal or terminate federal tax incentives that we currently do, or hope to, leverage. Any reduction, elimination, or discriminatory application or expiration of current and any future federal tax incentives may materially adversely affect our future operating results and liquidity.

Changes to tax laws and regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including our ability to optimize the changes brought about by the passage of the IRA.

In addition, federal, state, local and foreign government bodies have implemented additional policies that are intended to promote or mandate renewable electricity generally or solar electricity in particular. For example, many U.S. states have adopted procurement requirements for renewable energy production and/or a renewable portfolio standard (“RPS”) that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered to customers in the state from eligible renewable energy sources, including utility-scale solar power generation facilities, by a specified date. There can be no assurances that RPSs or other policies supporting renewable energy will continue. Proposals to extend compliance deadlines, reduce renewable requirements or solar set-asides, or entirely repeal RPSs emerge from time to time in various jurisdictions. Reduction or elimination of RPSs, restrictions or prohibitions imposed on solar projects, as well as changes to other renewable-energy and solar-energy policies, could reduce the potential growth of the solar energy industry and materially and adversely affect our business.

Moreover, changes in policies of recent U.S. presidential administrations have created regulatory uncertainty in the renewable energy industry, including the solar energy industry, and have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our business. For example, in the span of less than six years, the United States joined, withdrew from, and then rejoined the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation following changes in administration between U.S. Presidents Obama, Trump and Biden. To start his second term, U.S. President Trump signed numerous executive orders including for the U.S. to again withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty, to expedite deregulated oil and gas drilling, and revoke executive orders and actions from the previous administration related to, among other things, the implementation of the energy and infrastructure provisions of the IRA. Additionally, the U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Department of Energy have recently taken several steps to prohibit, prevent or delay new renewable energy projects. For example, on July 15, 2025 the Department of Interior issued an internal memo entitled “Departmental Review Procedures for Decisions, Actions, Consultations, and Other Undertakings Related to Wind and Solar Energy Facilities.” The memo mandates that 69 categories of previously routine permitting and review activities related to wind and solar projects be elevated to top levels within the Department of Interior, which may substantially slow approval timelines and reduce the number of projects permitted.

In RENEW Northeast et al. v. U.S. Department of Interior et al., renewable energy industry groups filed an action in December 2025 alleging that several federal agency actions targeted wind and solar development, slowing or blocking renewable energy permitting in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. In April 2026, the District Court of Massachusetts found irreparable harm as plaintiffs showed imminent economic injuries, including permitting delays, increased compliance costs, disruption to existing investments, and project-related harms. The court held that the balance of equities and public interest favored relief, due to the asserted harms to renewable energy development, the grid, and the environment outweighed the agencies’ interest in continuing policies the court found likely unlawful. The injunction may reduce some immediate permitting barriers for covered entities, but it does not eliminate regulatory uncertainty as the case remains pending, the ruling is subject to appeal, and the agencies may pursue alternative actions.

These or similar actions by the U.S. Administration could materially reduce the number of future solar projects and/or delay the timing of projects or result in cancellations of planned or in-process projects and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on June 30, 2022 in West Virginia v. EPA, holding that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) exceeded its authority in enacting a subsequently repealed rule that would have allowed electric utility generation facility owners to reduce emissions with “outside the fence measures,” may limit EPA’s ability to address greenhouse gas emissions comprehensively without specific authorization from Congress. It is difficult to predict what further actions will be taken that may impact our business including revisions to the federal incentives related to renewable energy.

International regulation of and incentives for solar projects vary by jurisdiction and may change or be eliminated.

The international markets in which we operate or may operate in the future may have or may put in place policies to promote renewable energy, including solar. These incentives and mechanisms vary from country to country. In seeking to achieve growth internationally, we may make investments that, to some extent, rely on governmental incentives and support in a new market.

There is no assurance that these governments will provide or continue to provide sufficient incentives and support to the solar industry or that the industry in any particular country will not suffer significant downturns in the future as the result of changes in public policies or government interest in renewable energy, any of which would adversely affect demand for our solar products.

Changes in the global trade environment, including the imposition of tariffs, other import duties and trade restrictions, could adversely affect our business growth and the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows.

Trade tensions, particularly between the United States and China, have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to certain materials for and components of our products such as steel and low-power solar modules, electrical equipment, and for products used in solar energy projects more broadly, such as storage batteries and solar modules.

In recent years, imposition and withdrawal of import tariffs have been erratic and unpredictable. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that import tariffs imposed by President Trump purportedly under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were unlawful. As a result, it is expected that the U.S. government will refund with interest most or all of the IEEPA tariffs, although the timing and precise coverage of those tariff refunds remains uncertain.

Effective February 24, 2026, President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most goods under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 122 Tariffs”). The Section 122 Tariffs generally apply uniformly against U.S. imports from all countries, but do not apply to imports of products that qualify for preferential treatment under the United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA) or to imports of certain products that are ordinarily unrelated to solar energy projects.

There currently are Section 232 tariffs on imports of steel, aluminum and copper products, including certain derivative products, imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232”). Effective April 6, 2026, the Administration revised the Section 232 framework, including by applying different tariff rates depending on product category, metal content, and whether U.S.-origin metals are used in foreign-manufactured products. Certain products may qualify for reduced rates or exemptions, while others remain subject to significant tariff exposure. Section 232 tariffs are not additive to the Section 122 Tariffs. Although the April 6, 2026 revisions reduced our tariff exposure for certain imported components, Section 232 tariffs continue to affect our costs and gross margins and could result in interruptions in the steel, aluminum or copper supply chains.

There are also tariffs on various items of solar equipment, including solar cells and modules, inverters and power optimizers, imported from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”). At present, Section 301 tariffs are 50% on Chinese crystalline solar photovoltaic (“CSPV”) cells and modules, 25% on Chinese steel products, 25% on Chinese parts of lead-acid storage batteries (including separators thereof) and 25% on Chinese lithium-ion non-EV batteries. These Section 301 tariffs are additive to Section 122 Tariffs.

In addition, the U.S. Administration has indicated that new Section 301 tariffs may be implemented in the coming months following investigations covering a broad range of countries, including major sourcing markets. The timing, rates, country coverage, product coverage and interaction with other tariffs remain uncertain. If implemented, these tariffs could increase our costs, reduce our gross margins, adversely affect sourcing and pricing decisions, and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Nextpower products include proprietary CSPV modules that provide off-grid power to our controllers located either on each tracker row or on weather stations at the project site. Such CSPV modules , if sourced from China, are impacted by Section 301 tariffs on solar modules. All tariffs on solar cells and modules also may indirectly affect us by increasing the costs of

components of solar energy projects, thereby adversely impacting the financial viability of solar energy projects in which our products are used, which could lead to decreased demand for our products.

Under an August 2023 “circumvention” determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”), CSPV cells and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam using certain Chinese components and entered into the United States on or after April 1, 2022 are subject to antidumping duty and countervailing duty (“AD/CVD”) orders on CSPV cells and modules from China (“Solar Circumvention Determination”). AD/CVD cash deposit rates for imported CSPV modules covered by the China AD/CVD orders vary significantly depending on the producer and exporter of the modules and may amount to over 250% of the entered value of the modules.

Certain cells and modules were exempted from the AD/CVD cash deposits and duties otherwise required by the Solar Circumvention Determination. Importers were generally required to file certain certifications in order to claim the exemptions. Since April 2022, Nextpower has imported proprietary CSPV smart modules from Malaysia and Thailand that provide off-grid power to our controllers. Nextpower submitted certifications for the modules to claim exemptions from any AD/CVD cash deposit or duty requirements imposed by the Solar Circumvention Determination, but Nextpower did not strictly follow all the certification procedures for a number of these entries. One of the exemptions claimed by Nextpower also is subject to a pending court challenge.

If the U.S. courts strike down one of the exemptions Nextpower relied upon or Nextpower’s certifications are found to be invalid, Nextpower could be required to pay AD/CVD amounts with respect to the applicable entries of the modules. To mitigate the AD/CVD duty risk, Nextpower has submitted a prior disclosure to CBP informing CBP of the potential procedural deficiencies with respect to the certifications submitted by Nextpower. To further mitigate the risk of possible invalidation of one of the exemptions relied upon by Nextpower and/or the potential procedural certification deficiencies, Nextpower filed a request for a changed circumstances review with Commerce, seeking an exclusion for its off-grid smart CSPV modules from the AD/CVD orders on CSPV cells and modules from China. In December 2025, Commerce issued the final results of the changed circumstances review and granted an exclusion for Nextpower’s off-grid smart CSPV modules for purposes of the CVD order on CSPV cells and modules from China, retroactive to January 1, 2022, and also for purposes of the AD order on CSPV cells and modules from China, retroactive to December 1, 2022. Following Commerce’s final grant of the retroactive exclusion, the potential AD/CVD duty liability, if any, with respect to such at risk entries has been substantially reduced but remains unknown. The outcome of the litigation challenging the duty exemption and CBP’s treatment of Nextpower’s certifications remains unclear.

CSPV cells and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam that are not covered by the Solar Circumvention Determination that are not covered by the Solar Circumvention Determination are subject to AD/CVD orders. AD/CVD cash deposit rates for imports of CSPV modules covered by the AD/CVD orders vary significantly depending on the producer and exporter of the modules and may amount to over 3,000% of the entered value of the imported merchandise.

In August 2025, Commerce initiated AD/CVD investigations targeting CSPV cells and modules from India, Indonesia and Laos. On February 26, 2026, Commerce published affirmative preliminary CVD determinations in the investigations and imposed significant CVD cash deposit rates. Commerce subsequently issued an affirmative preliminary antidumping determination covering CSPV cells and modules from those countries. The preliminary determinations may require additional cash deposits, and certain findings could result in retroactive duty liability. Although we have taken steps to mitigate potential exposure through supply chain adjustments, any AD/CVD cash deposits, retroactive assessments, final determinations or changes in sourcing availability could adversely affect our costs, supply chain flexibility, project timing and results of operations.

On July 1, 2025, Commerce initiated a Section 232 investigation to determine the effects on U.S. national security of imports of polysilicon and its derivatives. Once completed, the investigation may result in President Trump imposing tariffs on imports into the United States of polysilicon and its derivatives. It is possible that such Section 232 tariffs could apply to CSPV cells and modules, which would negatively impact our business.

Imports of solar modules produced in China or incorporating cells or other materials (e.g., polysilicon) produced in whole or in part in China and imported from any other nation may be detained by CBP under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (Public Law No. 117-78). To the extent that such detentions occur, solar modules may not reach project sites, which may result in significant delays in the development and entry into operation of solar energy projects.

The ultimate severity or duration of any solar panel supply chain disruption due to CBP detentions or otherwise and or its effects on our clients’ solar project development and construction activities, and associated consequences on our business, is uncertain.

If an environment of significantly increased U.S. tariffs and trade restrictions continues or further escalates, the global economy could be adversely affected, including through higher costs, higher interest rates or lower demand for energy, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In addition, we export products manufactured in the United States to projects outside of the United States, which exposes our business to retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries. Such retaliatory tariffs, if applicable to our products, could adversely affect the demand for our products or make us less competitive in those countries.

Existing tariffs and duties, the possibility of additional or increased tariffs or duties in the future, and the detention by CBP of solar modules all have created uncertainty in the solar industry. If the price of solar systems increases, the use of solar systems could become less economically feasible and could reduce our gross margins or reduce the demand for solar systems, which in turn may decrease demand for our products.

Additionally, existing or future tariffs and CBP detentions of solar modules may negatively affect key customers and suppliers, and other supply chain partners. Such outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows, and continuing uncertainty could cause sales volatility, price fluctuations or supply shortages or cause our customers to advance or delay their purchase of our products. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include additional or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, and we may be unable to quickly and effectively react to such actions. While we have taken actions with the intention of, among other things, mitigating the effect of AD/CVD duties and steel tariffs on our business, we may not be able to do so broadly or on attractive terms.

Any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Future acquisitions, strategic investments, strategic transactions, partnerships, joint ventures or alliances could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As part of our business strategy, we have, and in the future expect to continue to make, investments in and/or acquire complementary companies, services or technologies, such as our acquisitions of Ojjo, the foundations business of SPI, Bentek, OnSight, Origami and other recent acquisitions. We have also entered into, and may in the future enter into, joint ventures or similar strategic arrangements, such as our Nextpower Arabia joint venture. Our ability as an organization to acquire and integrate other companies, services or technologies, and to structure, negotiate and manage joint ventures and other strategic arrangements, in a successful manner in the future is not guaranteed. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates or joint venture partners, and we may not be able to complete such acquisitions or joint ventures on favorable terms, if at all. When we complete acquisitions or enter into joint ventures, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or ability to achieve our business objectives, and any acquisitions or joint ventures we complete could be viewed negatively by our end-customers or investors. In addition, our due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business, joint venture partner, product or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or product architecture, regulatory compliance practices, revenue recognition or other accounting practices or issues with employees or customers. Joint ventures involve unique risks, including our potential inability to control the operations, strategies or financial decisions of our joint venture partners, the potential for our partners to have economic or business interests inconsistent with our own, the possibility that we may be responsible to joint venture partners for indemnifiable losses and the risk that our partners may be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the relevant joint venture agreements. If we are unsuccessful at integrating such acquisitions, or the technologies associated with such acquisitions, into our company, or at managing our joint ventures effectively, the revenue and results of operations of the combined company could be adversely affected. Any integration process may require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel, or the capabilities of joint venture partner, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition or joint venture transaction, causing unanticipated write-offs or accounting charges. We may have to pay cash, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition, or to fund our obligations under any joint venture arrangements each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and the market price of our Class A common stock. The sale of equity or issuance of debt to finance any such acquisitions or joint ventures could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence

of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations.

We rely heavily on our suppliers and our operations could be disrupted if we encounter problems with our suppliers or if there are disruptions in our supply chain.

We purchase our components through arrangements with various suppliers located across the globe. We depend on our suppliers to source materials and manufacture critical components for our products. Our reliance on these suppliers, in certain cases on an exclusive or sole-source basis, makes us vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules and costs which could disrupt our ability to procure these components in a timely and cost-efficient manner. As we expand our product offerings, the complexity of our supply chain could increase, exposing us to additional problems or disruptions. Any shortages of components or raw materials for these products could affect our ability to timely deliver our products to our customers, which may result in liquidated damages or contractual disputes with our customers, harm our reputation and lead to a decrease in demand for our products.

For example, our products are manufactured from steel and, as a result, our business is significantly affected by the price of steel. When steel prices are higher, the prices that we charge customers for our products may increase, which may decrease demand for our products. Conversely, if steel prices decline, customers may demand lower prices and our competitors’ responses to those demands could result in lower sale prices or lower sales volume and, consequently, negatively affect our profitability. A significant portion of the steel used to produce our products is derived directly or indirectly from steel mills located in China. At times, pricing and availability of steel can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond our control, including domestic and international economic conditions, global steel capacity, import levels, fluctuations in the costs of raw materials necessary to produce steel, sales levels, competition, consolidation of steel producers, labor costs, transportation costs, import duties, tariffs and foreign currency exchange rates. The volatility in the availability and cost of steel may impact our business. Imports of China-origin steel currently are subject to significant tariffs and trade restrictions, including reciprocal tariffs and Section 301 tariffs, which materially increase the cost of such imports. Imports of steel and many steel derivative products from other countries are subject to tariffs and other trade measures (with limited exceptions for certain countries). Accordingly, ongoing trade disputes, unpredictable tariff policies and uncertainty with respect to the potential for such policy changes may increase procurement costs or restrict access to necessary materials for our products, like steel, potentially leading to disruptions with our suppliers or in our supply chain. We continue to evaluate the potential impact of the imposition of such tariffs and trade restrictions to our business and financial condition, but we expect that these tariffs will significantly increase our costs.

Further, if any of our suppliers were unable or unwilling to manufacture the components that we require for our products in sufficient volumes or at sufficiently high-quality levels or to renew existing terms under supply agreements, we would need to identify, qualify and select acceptable alternative suppliers. An alternative supplier may not be available to us when needed or may not be in a position to satisfy our quality or production requirements on commercially reasonable terms, including price. In certain cases, identifying, qualifying and transitioning to alternative suppliers may require engineering validation, testing or customer approval, which can take time and may not be feasible within project schedules. In addition, we may enter into exclusive arrangements which prohibit or limit our ability to use alternative suppliers. In some cases, we may rely on a limited number of suppliers, or single-source suppliers, for certain components, which may increase our exposure to supply disruptions. Any significant disruption to our ability to procure our components, and our suppliers’ ability to procure materials to manufacture components for our products could increase the production cost of our products or reduce or delay our ability to perform under our contracts and could thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, as noted above, the federal law provides incremental tax credits for U.S. solar projects satisfying domestic content requirements. While the impact of these requirements on us remains fluid and uncertain pending customer response and any future implementing regulations, if we are unable to provide our tracker products in a manner that satisfies applicable domestic content requirements, we might experience a decline in sales for U.S. projects, especially if our competitors are able to satisfy such domestic content requirements. In addition, compliance with these requirements may increase our production costs. In light of the foregoing, our U.S. sales, profitability and results of operations in the United States may be adversely affected by applicable domestic content requirements which must be satisfied in order for solar projects to be eligible for these incremental credits. Further, the sourcing of compliant materials under domestic content rules may become more complex due to evolving guidance, limited supplier availability, or capacity constraints.

Further, disruption in our supply chain and transportation channels, including changes by carriers and transportation companies relating to delivery schedules, shortages in available cargo capacity or labor availability, payment terms and frequency of service and pricing as well as cargo ship incidents, shipping channel disruptions or work stoppages or strikes could impact our ability to timely deliver our products to our customers or increase delivery costs. For example, in the recent past we have seen many shipping companies pause or reroute shipments through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea as a result of attacks against commercial vessels in the area, causing rerouting of commercial vessels. Similarly, the U.S.-Iran war has resulted in a cessation or substantial curtailment of shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, we have and may continue to experience increased costs and delivery delays. Geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, trade restrictions or other global events may further exacerbate these risks.

Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Macroeconomic developments, such as the global or regional economic effects resulting from political tensions between the U.S. and Europe, the Ukraine-Russian war, and U.S.-Iran war (including the disruption of transporting goods through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz), further increases in inflation and related economic policy responses, evolving trade policies or trade wars, extended U.S. federal government shutdowns, or the occurrence of similar events that lead to uncertainty or instability in economic, political or market conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Local political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they affect geographies in which we do business or obtain our components. Local conflicts, such as the Ukraine-Russian war or the U.S.-Iran war, could also have a significant adverse impact on regional or global macroeconomic conditions, give rise to regional instability or result in heightened economic tariffs, sanctions and import-export restrictions in a manner that adversely affects us, including to the extent that any such actions cause material business interruptions, delays or restrict our ability to conduct business with certain suppliers. Additionally, such conflicts or sanctions may significantly devalue various global currencies and have a negative impact on economies in geographies in which we do business, which may in turn adversely affect our revenues, costs and margins.

The financial markets and the global economy have also been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by the recent global escalation in tariffs and trade restrictions, including through higher costs, higher interest rates or lower global demand for energy, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, because the solar projects in which our products are used require substantial upfront capital investment which is expected to be recovered over a period of multiple years, uncertainty and perceived instability regarding future macroeconomic conditions may deter investment in, or financing of, these solar projects and in turn reduce demand for our products.

Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including slow growth or recession, high unemployment, labor shortages, ongoing or increasing inflation, tighter credit, higher interest rates and currency fluctuations, or the perception that adverse macroeconomic conditions may occur or persist, may cause current or potential customers to reduce or eliminate their budgets and spending, which could cause customers to delay, decrease or cancel projects with us. In addition, such conditions may increase our costs, reduce our ability to forecast demand and operating results, and adversely affect our liquidity or access to capital.

If we do not maintain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices and disclosures that meet the expectations of customers, regulators, employees, and investors, our relationships with these stakeholders could suffer, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

Many governments, customers, investors and employees have enhanced their focus on ESG practices and disclosures, and expectations in this area are rapidly evolving and in some cases may be inconsistent or conflicting. Failure to adequately maintain ESG practices that meet diverse stakeholder expectations may result in an inability to attract customers, loss of business, diluted market valuation, and an inability to attract and retain top talent. In addition, standards, processes and governmental requirements for disclosing sustainability metrics have frequently changed in recent years, resulting in changes in the data that we must collect or disclose about our ESG practices, and could result in significant revisions to our sustainability commitments or our ability to achieve them. As governments impose greenhouse gas emission reporting requirements and other ESG-related laws, we are subject to at least some of these rules and concomitant regulatory risk exposure. ESG compliance and reporting could be costly, and we could be at a disadvantage compared to companies that do not have similar reporting requirements.

For example, rules adopted by the SEC in 2024 could require significantly expanded climate-related disclosures in our periodic reporting, which may require us to incur significant additional costs to comply, including the implementation of significant additional internal controls regarding matters that have not been subject to such controls in the past. Although the rule has been stayed by the SEC and the SEC recently announced that it has voted to end its legal defense of these enhanced climate-related disclosure rules, it is possible that these rules could be reinstated in the future.

In addition, although the SEC’s 2024 rule requiring extensive climate-related disclosures has been voluntarily stayed, we are still subject to other laws regarding climate-related disclosures in other jurisdictions. For example, in October 2023, California enacted climate disclosure laws that may require companies such as ours to report on greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. Similarly, we may be subject to the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (and its implementing laws and regulations) and other EU and EU member state regulations, or disclosure requirements on various sustainability topics. These requirements vary across jurisdictions, and may result in increased complexity and cost, to achieve compliance, including the need to implement new systems processes and controls. Furthermore, industry and market practices continue to evolve, and we may have to expend significant efforts and resources to keep up with market trends and stay competitive among our peers, which could result in higher associated compliance costs and penalties for failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, if our ESG disclosures are perceived to be inaccurate, misleading or not aligned with evolving standards, we could be subject to reputational harm, regulatory scrutiny or litigation. Our ability to collect, validate and report ESG data may also be limited by the availability and reliability of information from third parties, including our suppliers.

Our business and industry, including our customers and suppliers, are subject to risks of severe weather events, natural disasters, climate change and other catastrophic events.

Our headquarters and testing facilities, which conduct functional and reliability testing for our components and products, are located in the Bay Area of Northern California and our solar projects are located in the U.S. and around the world. A severe weather event or other catastrophe impacting our headquarters or testing facilities could cause significant damage and disruption to our business operations. In addition, a severe weather event or other catastrophe could significantly impact our supply chain by causing delays in the shipping and delivery of our materials, components and products which may, in turn, cause delays in our customers’ solar projects. Our customers’ ability to install solar energy systems is also affected by weather events, such as during the winter months, and other catastrophic events.

In addition, our operations and facilities and those of the third parties on which we rely are subject to the risk of interruption by fire, power shortages, nuclear power plant accidents and other industrial accidents, terrorist attacks and other hostile acts, cybersecurity attacks and other data security incidents, labor disputes, including labor shortages, public health issues, including pandemics and epidemics, and other events beyond our and their control. Any damage and disruption in any locations in which we have offices or in which our customers or suppliers operate, which are caused by severe weather events (such as extreme cold weather, hail, hurricanes, tornadoes and heavy snowfall), seismic activity, fires, tsunamis, floods and other natural disasters or catastrophic events could result in a delay or even a complete cessation of our worldwide or regional operations and could cause severe damage to our products and equipment used in our solar projects. Global climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of certain types of severe weather events. Even if our tracker products and other products and technologies are not damaged, severe weather, natural disasters and catastrophic events may cause damage to the solar panels that are mounted to our tracker products, which could result in decreased demand for our products, loss of customers and the withdrawal of coverage for solar panels and solar tracking systems by insurance companies. Any of these events would negatively impact our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers and could result in reduced demand for our products and services, and any damage to our products and equipment used for our solar projects could result in large warranty claims which could, individually or in the aggregate, exceed the amount of insurance available to us or may not be covered by insurance at all. Further, our insurance coverage may become more limited or more expensive over time due to increased climate-related risks. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third party technology system limitations or failures could harm our business.

Our business depends, in part, on the integrity and performance of the technology systems supporting our products and services. Our products and services operate in conjunction with, and we are dependent upon, third-party systems, products, services, solutions and components, including third-party cloud providers. If new systems fail to operate as intended or our existing systems cannot expand to cope with increased demand or otherwise fail to perform, we could experience unanticipated

disruptions in service, slower response times and delays in the introduction of new products and services. We could experience a systems failure due to, among other things, human error by our employees, contractors or vendors, electrical or telecommunications failures or disruptions, including third-party cloud disruptions, hardware or software failures or defects, cyberattacks, sabotage or similar unexpected events. High-profile outages involving third-party cloud providers have caused widespread disruptions to their customers’ operations. If one of our third-party cloud providers experience a similar outage, our products and services could be disrupted. Additionally, there have been and may continue to be attacks on certain of our third-party providers, and we cannot guarantee that our or our third-party providers’ systems and networks have not been breached or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our products and services and to the networks or the systems of third parties that support our products and services or the compromise, loss or corruption of data. Our ability to monitor, remediate or recover from incidents involving third-party providers may be limited, and such providers may not meet our security or service expectations. Any such issue that causes an interruption in our products and services, decreases the responsiveness of our products and services or otherwise affects our products and services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed by evolving regulatory uncertainty or obligations applicable to our products and services.

Changes in regulatory requirements applicable to the industries and sectors in which we operate, in the United States and in other countries, could materially affect the sales and use of our products and services. This includes emerging laws and regulations related to artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, privacy and data protection, which may impose new compliance obligations on our operations, including requirements relating to data collection, storage, use, security and governance. These laws may be complex, evolving and, in some cases, inconsistent across jurisdictions, increasing the cost and complexity of compliance. In particular, economic sanctions and changes to export and import control requirements may impact our ability to sell and support our products and services in certain jurisdictions. If we were to fail to comply with export controls laws and regulations, U.S. economic sanctions or other similar laws, including restrictions from the international community, or conflict mineral regulations, we could be subject to both civil and criminal penalties, including substantial fines, possible incarceration for employees and managers for willful violations and the possible loss of our export or import privileges.

Obtaining the necessary export license for a particular sale or transaction may not be possible, may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Further, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the export of services to certain U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments and persons, as well as for prohibited end-uses. Even though we take precautions to ensure that we comply with all relevant export control laws and regulations, including restrictions from the international community, any failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have negative consequences for us, including reputational harm, government investigations and penalties.

We may not be able to convert our orders in backlog into revenue.

Our reported backlog reflects expected future revenue from executed contracts, purchase orders and other customer commitments. Backlog can be subject to large variations from quarter to quarter and comparisons of backlog from period to period are not necessarily indicative of future revenue. Because backlog is inherently uncertain and subject to change, the contracts comprising our backlog may not result in actual revenue in any particular period or at all due to a variety of reasons including project cancellations, suspensions, delays, scope reductions, failure to execute anticipated supply agreements under framework or volume commitment arrangements, or the failure of projects to proceed to completion. The actual revenue from such contracts may differ from our backlog estimates. The timing of receipt of revenue, if any, on projects included in backlog could change because many factors affect the scheduling of projects. In addition, our ability to convert backlog into revenue may be adversely affected by the financial condition or creditworthiness of our customers and counterparties, which could result in delayed payments, order reductions, or cancellations. Cancellation of or adjustments to contracts have occurred in the past and may occur in the future.

If a significant number of our contracts or orders are canceled, suspended, delayed, reduced in scope, or not renewed or replaced, or if anticipated volumes under framework or volume commitment arrangements are not realized, the actual revenue we receive may be materially less than our backlog estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The failure to realize any or all amounts in our backlog could adversely affect our future revenue and gross margins. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of our future financial performance.

Our contracts may be canceled, suspended, delayed or not renewed, and we may be unable to replace such business on comparable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our customers, which include project owners, developers and engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contractors, have in the past and may in the future cancel, suspend, delay or reduce the number or size of projects for which they procure our products and services for a variety of reasons, including capital constraints, changes in project economics, supply chain considerations, evolving market conditions, or an inability to obtain permits, financing or regulatory approvals. In addition, many of our contracts, purchase orders and framework or supply agreements may permit our customers to cancel or suspend orders, including for convenience, sometimes on relatively short notice and, in certain cases, with limited compensation beyond amounts payable for products delivered or costs incurred.

In certain cases, our customers enter into framework arrangements or volume commitments with us that contemplate the future execution of project-specific supply agreements or purchase orders. These arrangements may not result in binding orders for the full anticipated volumes, and customers may reduce or fail to fulfill such commitments. As a result, we may not realize the level of business or revenue contemplated at the time such arrangements are entered into. Furthermore, our customers may elect to source products from alternative suppliers, develop in-house capabilities, or pursue different technologies or system designs, including as a result of cost pressures, technological changes, domestic content requirements or other regulatory or commercial considerations. As a result, the demand for our products and services from existing or prospective customers may be reduced or may not materialize as expected.

While our contracts may provide for certain protections, including deposits, cancellation fees, or payment for work performed or costs incurred prior to cancellation, such protections may not fully compensate us for the loss of anticipated revenues or margins associated with canceled, suspended or delayed projects. In addition, the timing of customer decisions to cancel, suspend or delay projects may occur after we have made commitments to procure materials, allocate manufacturing capacity or incur other costs, which may not be fully recoverable.

An increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt financing, could make it difficult for project developers and owners to finance the cost of a solar energy system and could reduce the demand for our products.

Many solar project owners depend on financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to construct a solar energy project. As a result, an increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the supply of project debt or tax equity financing, could reduce the number of solar projects that receive financing or otherwise make it difficult for project owners to secure the financing necessary to construct a solar energy project on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our products which could limit our growth or reduce our sales. In addition, increased financing costs may delay project development timelines or reduce the size or scope of projects. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of project owners construct solar energy projects as an investment, funding a significant portion of the initial capital expenditure with financing from third parties. An increase in interest rates could lower an investor’s return on investment on a solar energy project, increase equity requirements or make alternative investments more attractive relative to solar energy projects, and, in each case, could cause these project owners to seek alternative investments or defer or cancel planned projects.

We are dependent on a relatively small number of customers for our sales. A loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment, could harm our business and negatively impact our revenue, results of operations and cash flows.

We are dependent on a relatively small number of customers for our sales, and a small group of customers have historically accounted for a material portion of our revenue.The loss of any one of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment, could have a substantial effect on our revenues and profits. Further, our trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivable (“contract assets”) are from companies within the solar industry, and, as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. As of March 31, 2026, the last day of our fiscal year, our largest customer constituted less than 10% of our total trade accounts receivable and contract assets balances. Accordingly, a loss of a significant customer or a significant reduction in pricing or order volume from a significant customer could substantially reduce our revenue and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Defects, performance problems or vulnerabilities in our products could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue, and we may face warranty, indemnity and product liability claims arising from our products.

Our products may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new generations are released. Errors, defects, vulnerabilities or poor performance can arise due to design flaws, defects in raw materials or components or manufacturing difficulties or integration issues with third-party components, which can affect both the quality and the yield of the product. Any actual or perceived errors, defects, vulnerabilities or poor performance in our products could result in the replacement or recall of our products, shipment delays, rejection of our products, damage to our reputation, lost revenue, diversion of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts, increases in customer service and support costs, litigation from our customers and related liability, including indemnity obligations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, products with defects or vulnerabilities may give rise to warranty, indemnity or product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. Our limited warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship of our products under normal use and service conditions. As a result, we bear the risk of warranty claims long after we have sold products and recognized revenue. While we have accrued reserves for warranty claims, our estimated warranty costs for previously sold products may change to the extent the warranty claims profile of future products is not comparable with that of earlier generation products under warranty. Our warranty accruals are based on our assumptions and we do not have a long history of making such assumptions. As a result, these assumptions could prove to be materially different from the actual performance of our systems, causing us to incur substantial unanticipated expense to repair or replace products in the future or to compensate customers. Our failure to accurately predict future claims could result in unexpected volatility in, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If one of our products were to cause injury to someone or cause property damage, including as a result of product malfunctions, defects or improper installation, then we could be exposed to product liability claims. If our customers or third-parties experience security breaches due to vulnerabilities in our products, we could be exposed to product liability claims or other claims. Any such claim could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert management’s attention and harm our reputation.

Cybersecurity or other data security incidents could materially disrupt our operations, compromise sensitive information, and adversely affect our financial performance and reputation.

We rely extensively on interconnected information technology systems, cloud-based infrastructure, and operational technology to support our manufacturing processes, field operations, customer-facing platforms, and internal business functions. These systems process, store, and transmit sensitive information, including proprietary, confidential, operational, and personal data.

We, our customers, and the third parties on which we depend are subject to persistent and increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats. These threats include ransomware, business interruption, data theft, social engineering, phishing, credential harvesting, impersonation, insider threats, denial-of-service attacks, supply chain compromises, and the exploitation of software, firmware, and configuration vulnerabilities. Threat actors include criminal organizations, nation-state actors, insiders, and other malicious parties, and such threats may arise from external attacks, third-party failures, human error, or system design or implementation flaws. These threats and techniques continue to evolve rapidly, may not be detected in a timely manner or at all, and may increase in frequency, speed, scale, and complexity as malicious actors leverage artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Advances in artificial intelligence may compress the time between vulnerability identification and exploitation, increasing the volume of threats that must be identified and remediated.

The high volume and persistence of attempted attacks increases the likelihood that a successful cybersecurity or data security incident could occur. Because our systems support global operations, manufacturing activities, field infrastructure, and customer environments, a successful cybersecurity or other data security incident affecting us or a third party on which we rely could disrupt operations, delay product delivery, degrade system performance, result in loss or corruption of data, expose sensitive information, compromise intellectual property, and lead to remediation costs, regulatory investigations, litigation, contractual disputes, penalties, and reputational harm. The energy, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors remain attractive targets, and our supply chain and service provider dependencies may increase our exposure to systemic risk.

We assess cybersecurity risks, including those arising from third-party dependencies, for their potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We maintain a cybersecurity program that includes governance, layered technical and administrative controls, continuous monitoring, incident response procedures, employee awareness training,

vulnerability management, and third-party risk assessment processes. We regularly evaluate and enhance our security posture, and we may identify vulnerabilities in our products, systems, or processes that require remediation or other mitigation measures. However, no program, control environment, or set of measures can eliminate all risk, and we may not be able to anticipate, prevent, detect, investigate, contain, or remediate all threats or incidents in a timely manner.

We depend on a range of third-party service providers, suppliers, software providers, and cloud vendors, and we have limited visibility into and control over their cybersecurity practices. While we perform diligence and impose contractual requirements on certain key providers, those measures may not be sufficient to prevent or mitigate all risks. A cybersecurity or other data security incident involving a third party could adversely affect our operations, expose data that we share with or that is processed by such third party, and could result in costs, liabilities, or other obligations to us, including where we may be held contractually or otherwise responsible for such incidents.

We maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage; however, such coverage may not be available or sufficient to cover all losses, and the availability, scope, and terms of such coverage may change over time.

Any actual or perceived cybersecurity or other data security incident could harm our reputation, reduce customer confidence, impair our ability to attract and retain customers, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Failure to comply with current or future federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and industry standards relating to privacy and data protection could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are or may become subject to a variety of laws, regulations, rules and industry standards in the U.S. and abroad that involve matters central to our business, including privacy and data protection. Many of these laws, regulations, rules and industry standards are in considerable flux and rapidly evolving, and it is possible that they may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our current operating practices. Existing and proposed laws, regulations, rules and industry standards can be costly to comply with and can delay or impede the development of new products and services, significantly increase our operating costs, require significant time and attention of management and technical personnel and subject us to inquiries or investigations, claims or other remedies, including fines or demands that we modify or cease existing business practices.

In addition to various privacy and data protection laws and regulations already in place, many jurisdictions are increasingly adopting laws and regulations imposing comprehensive privacy and data protection obligations, which may be more stringent, broader in scope, or offer greater individual rights with respect to personal information than existing laws and regulations, and such laws and regulations may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts and increase compliance costs. See Item 1. “Business—Privacy and Data Protection Laws and Regulation” elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations.

Further, while we strive to publish and prominently display privacy policies that are accurate, comprehensive and compliant with local laws, regulations, rules and industry standards, we cannot ensure that our privacy policies and other statements regarding our practices will be sufficient to protect us from claims, proceedings, liability or adverse publicity relating to privacy and data protection. Although we endeavor to comply with our privacy policies, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. If our public statements about our use, collection, disclosure and other processing of personal information, whether made through our privacy policies, information provided on our website, press statements or otherwise, are alleged to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices, we may be subject to potential government or legal investigation or action, including by the Federal Trade Commission or applicable state attorneys general.

Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any applicable privacy and data protection standards or contractual obligations, or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access to, or unauthorized loss, destruction, use, modification, acquisition, disclosure, release or transfer of personal information may result in claims, fines, sanctions, penalties, investigations, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, customers, suppliers or others or other liabilities or may require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain data. Any of the foregoing could harm our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such claims, proceedings, investigations or actions, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers or suppliers and result in the imposition of monetary penalties. We may also be contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs and consequences of non-compliance with any laws, regulations or other legal obligations relating to privacy and data protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure of data that we store,

handle or otherwise process as part of operating our business. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations.

Our product development and testing processes are complex and require significant technological expertise. Such processes involve a number of precise steps from design to production. Any change in our processes could cause one or more production errors, requiring a temporary suspension or delay in our suppliers’ production lines until the errors can be researched, identified, and properly addressed and rectified. This may occur particularly as we introduce new products, modify our engineering techniques and/or expand our capacity. The commercialization of any new products may also fail to achieve market adoption or may experience downward pricing pressure, which would have a material impact on our gross margins and results of operations. Further, the installation of our products involves various risks and complications which may increase as our products evolve and develop, and any such increase in risks and complications may have a negative effect on our gross margins. In addition, our failure to maintain appropriate quality assurance processes could result in increased product failures, loss of customers, increased warranty reserves, increased production and logistics costs, and delays. Our ability to maintain product quality may also depend on the performance of our suppliers and contract manufacturers, which may be outside of our direct control. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our continued expansion into new markets could subject us to additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks.

Part of our strategy is to continue to grow our revenues from international markets, including entering new geographic markets to expand our current international presence. Our products and services offered in these regions may differ from our current products and services in several ways, such as the consumption and utilization of local raw materials, components and logistics, the re-engineering of select components to meet region-specific requirements and region-specific customer training, site commissioning, warranty remediation and other technical services. Any of these differences or required changes to our products and services to meet the requirements of local laws and regulations may increase the cost of our products, reduce demand and result in a decrease in our gross margins. We may also face competition from lower cost providers in any new markets we enter which could decrease the demand for our products or cause us to reduce the cost of our products in order to remain competitive.

Any new geographic market could have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell products, and our success in such markets will depend on our ability to adapt properly to these differences. These differences may include differing regulatory requirements, including local manufacturing content requirements, tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, corporate formation laws and requirements, tariffs, export quotas, customs duties or other trade restrictions, limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection, international political or economic conditions, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, longer sales cycles, warranty expectations, product return policies and cost, performance and compatibility requirements. In addition, expanding into new geographic markets will increase our exposure to existing risks, such as fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, changing tariffs and trade restrictions, and difficulties and increased expenses in complying with U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and trade standards, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), as well as relevant anti-money laundering laws. Our failure to comply with such laws could result in significant penalties, reputational harm and restrictions on our business activities.

Failure to develop new products successfully or to otherwise manage the risks and challenges associated with our continued expansion into new geographic markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The development and use of artificial intelligence in our business introduces risks that could adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and reputation.

We use and expect to increasingly rely on, artificial intelligence technologies, including generative AI, in our products, services, and internal operations. These technologies are rapidly evolving and introduce significant technical, operational, legal, and reputational risks. We assess risks arising from our use of AI, including those associated with third-party tools and service providers, for their potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

AI systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or misleading outputs due to limitations in model design, training data, or system integration. These issues may not be readily detectable and could result in flawed decision-making, operational

errors, or unintended outcomes in our products or internal processes. The integration of AI into our products and operations may also introduce risks related to product quality, reliability, and customer expectations, particularly where AI-driven outputs influence system behavior or decision-making. The complexity and non-deterministic nature of many AI systems make them difficult to test, validate, and monitor effectively, and inadequate governance, testing, or oversight could result in errors or harmful outputs that negatively impact our business and reputation.

Advances in artificial intelligence may significantly accelerate the identification and exploitation of vulnerabilities, compressing the time between the introduction of a weakness and potential business impact to significantly shorter timeframes. As a result, we may be required to identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities more rapidly and at greater scale than in the past. If we are unable to adapt our security, development, and operational processes to this increased speed and volume, our risk of exposure to cybersecurity or operational incidents may increase.

We also face risks related to the use of third-party AI tools by our employees, contractors, service providers, or partners, including the potential exposure of confidential or proprietary information through external systems. Such use may result in unintended disclosure, loss of intellectual property protections, or incorporation of sensitive information into external training datasets, which could harm our competitive position and business.

In addition, there is legal uncertainty regarding the ownership, enforceability, and potential infringement of intellectual property rights associated with AI systems and their outputs. AI-generated content may not be subject to copyright protection, and the use of third-party data or models may expose us to claims related to intellectual property, privacy, data protection, or other rights. Ongoing litigation and regulatory scrutiny in this area may require us to modify our use of AI technologies or limit certain applications.

The legal and regulatory landscape governing AI is rapidly evolving and uncertain. New or changing laws and regulations, including the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act and similar frameworks in other jurisdictions, may impose additional requirements, restrict certain uses of AI, or increase compliance costs. We may be required to modify our products, services, or internal practices to comply with these requirements, and we may not be able to do so in a timely or cost-effective manner.

We also face competitive risks if other companies develop or deploy AI technologies more effectively or more rapidly than we do, which could reduce demand for our products and services.

The development, deployment, and operation of AI systems may require significant investment in technology, infrastructure, and personnel, and may increase our costs. As the use of AI continues to expand, it may introduce new or unanticipated ethical, technical, operational, legal, regulatory, and reputational risks. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Electric utility industry policies and regulations may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that could significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete.

Federal, state, local, and foreign government policies and regulations concerning the broader electric utility industry, as well as internal policies and regulations promulgated by electric utilities and organized electric markets with respect to fees, practices and rate design, heavily influence the market for electricity generation products and services. These policies and regulations often affect electricity pricing and the interconnection of generation facilities and can be subject to frequent modifications by governments, regulatory bodies, utilities and market operators. For example, changes in fee structures, electricity pricing structures and system permitting, regional market rules, interconnection and operating requirements can deter purchases of renewable energy products, including solar energy systems, by reducing anticipated revenues or increasing costs or regulatory burdens for would-be system purchasers. The resulting reductions in demand for solar energy systems could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant development in renewable-energy pricing policies in the United States occurred when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) issued a final rule amending regulations that implement the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (“PURPA”) on July 16, 2020, which FERC upheld on rehearing on November 19, 2020. Among other requirements, PURPA mandates that electric utilities buy the output of certain renewable generators, including qualifying solar energy facilities, below established capacity thresholds. PURPA also requires that such sales occur at a utility’s “avoided cost” rate. FERC’s PURPA reforms include modifications (1) to how regulators and electric utilities may establish avoided cost rates for new contracts, (2) that reduce from 20 MW to 5 MW the capacity threshold above which a renewable-energy qualifying facility is rebuttably presumed to have non-discriminatory market access, thereby removing the requirement for utilities to purchase its output, (3) that require regulators to establish criteria for determining when an electric utility incurs a legally

enforceable obligation to purchase from a PURPA facility and (4) that reduce barriers for third parties to challenge PURPA eligibility. These regulatory changes have introduced additional uncertainty and may reduce the availability or attractiveness of PURPA-based project opportunities, including by lowering contract prices or narrowing eligibility for new projects, which could reduce demand for solar energy systems.

FERC is also taking steps to encourage the integration of new forms of generation into the electric grid and remove barriers to grid access, which could have positive impacts on the solar energy industry. For example, on July 28, 2023 FERC issued a final rule, designated as Order No. 2023 and modified in part in March 2024, to reform procedures and agreements that electric transmission providers use to integrate new generating facilities into the existing transmission system.

Transmission providers are now implementing the reforms directed by FERC, which include moving from a serial interconnection queue that processed requests on a first-come, first-served basis to a first-ready, first-served basis. While these reforms are intended to improve the efficiency of interconnection processes, their implementation may result in delays, increased costs, withdrawal of projects from interconnection queues or other unintended consequences. In addition, significant interconnection queue backlogs and transmission constraints may continue to delay or limit the development of new solar projects.

Under the revised interconnection procedures, generation developers must commit more funds and financial security to maintain their interconnection queue positions. In addition, generation developers must provide earlier evidence of site control. These reforms are intended to weed out speculative requests. The reforms also impose penalties if transmission providers delay in preparing and issuing interconnection studies.

Changes in other federal, state and local current laws or regulations applicable to us or the imposition of new laws, regulations or policies in the jurisdictions in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any changes to government, utility or electric market regulations or policies that favor non-solar generation or other market participants, remove or reduce renewable procurement standards and goals or that make construction or operation of new solar generation facilities more expensive or difficult, could reduce the competitiveness of solar energy systems and cause a significant reduction in demand for our products and services and adversely impact our growth. Moreover, there may be changes in regulations that impact access to supply chains related to cybersecurity threats to the electric grid that could have a disproportionate impact on solar energy system components. In addition, changes in export and import laws and implementing regulations may create delays in the introduction of new products in international markets, prevent our customers from deploying our products internationally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries altogether. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Decreases in the price of electricity, whether in organized electric markets or with contract counterparties, may negatively impact the owners of the solar energy projects, make the purchase of solar energy systems less economically attractive and would likely lower sales of our products. The price of electricity could decrease as a result of many factors, including but not limited to:

•construction of a significant number of new, lower-cost power generation plants;

•relief of transmission constraints that enable distant, lower-cost generation to transmit energy less expensively or in greater quantities;

•reductions in the price of natural gas or other fuels;

•utility rate adjustment and customer class cost reallocation;

•decreased electricity demand or a decrease in projected demand, including from energy conservation technologies, public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption, improvements in computing efficiency that reduces energy consumption by data centers, or a reduction in economic activity due to a localized or macroeconomic downturn;

•development of smart-grid technologies that lower the peak energy requirements;

•development of new or lower-cost customer-sited energy storage technologies that have the ability to reduce a customer’s average cost of electricity by shifting load to off-peak times; and

•development of new energy generation technologies that provide less expensive energy.

Moreover, if the cost of electricity generated by solar energy installations incorporating our systems is high relative to the cost of electricity from other sources, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Technological advances in the solar components industry or developments in alternative technologies could render our systems uncompetitive or obsolete.

The solar industry is characterized by its rapid adoption and application of technological advances. Our competitors may develop technologies more advanced and cost-effective than ours, or broader solar panel design could change resulting in our products no longer being compatible. Additionally, significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advances in other forms of solar tracking systems, foundations, electrical (eBOS) systems, robotics, module frames, or other technologies in our platform, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will need to invest substantially in research and development to maintain our market position and effectively compete in the future. If our research and development programs fail to achieve their objectives, or if successful results cannot be translated into scalable commercial processes in a timely manner, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our failure to further refine or enhance our technologies, or adopt new or enhanced technologies or processes, could render our technologies uncompetitive or obsolete, which could reduce our market share and cause our revenues to decline.

In addition, we may invest in and implement newly developed, less-proven technologies in our project development or in maintaining or enhancing our existing projects. There is no guarantee that these new technologies will perform or generate customer demand as anticipated. The failure of our new technologies to perform as anticipated could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to, or incur significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed.

Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements and other contractual provisions, to establish and protect our intellectual property. Such means may afford only limited protection of our intellectual property and may not (i) prevent our competitors or manufacturing suppliers from duplicating our processes or technology; (ii) prevent our competitors or manufacturing suppliers from gaining access to our proprietary information or technology; or (iii) permit us to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

We generally seek or apply for patent protection as and if we deem appropriate, based on then-current facts and circumstances. We cannot guarantee that any of our pending patent applications or other applications for intellectual property registrations will be issued or granted or that our existing or future intellectual property rights will be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary technology. Even if we are to obtain issuance of further patents or registration of other intellectual property, such intellectual property could be subject to attacks on ownership, validity, enforceability or other legal attacks. Any such impairment or other failure to obtain sufficient intellectual property protection could impede our ability to market our products, negatively affect our competitive position and harm our business and operating results, including forcing us to, among other things, rebrand or re-design our affected products.

In addition to patent protection, we rely heavily on nondisclosure agreements to protect our proprietary information, know-how, technology and trade secrets. However, we cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that has or may have had access to our proprietary information, know-how, technology and trade secrets, including employees, contractors, third-party manufacturers, other suppliers, customers, other stakeholders involved in solar projects, or other business partners or prospective partners. Moreover, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in controlling access to, distribution, use, misuse, misappropriation or disclosure of our proprietary information, know-how, technology and trade secrets. Our reliance on third-party manufacturers and suppliers may increase the risk of unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property.

Similarly, while it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own, such agreements may be breached or may not be self-executing, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach,

and we may be subject to claims that such employees or contractors misappropriated relevant rights from their previous employers.

In countries where we have not applied for patent protection or trademark or other intellectual property registration or where effective patent, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws and judicial systems may not be available to the same extent as in the United States, we may be at greater risk that our proprietary rights will be circumvented, misappropriated, infringed or otherwise violated.

We have initiated, and may in the future need to initiate, infringement claims or litigation in order to try to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, but such litigation can be expensive and time-consuming and may divert the efforts of our management and other personnel, may provoke third parties to assert counterclaims against us and may not result in favorable outcomes.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We use “open source” software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more open source licenses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products and services use certain software licensed by its authors or other third parties under so-called “open source” licenses. Some of these open source licenses may contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works that we create based upon the open source software, and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of a particular open source license or other license granting third parties rights with respect to such software. In certain circumstances, if we combine our proprietary software with certain open source software, we could be required to release the source code for such proprietary software. Additionally, to the extent that we do not comply with the terms of the open source licenses to which we are subject, or such terms are interpreted by a court in a manner different than our own interpretation of such terms, then we may be required to disclose certain of our proprietary software or take other actions that could adversely impact our business. Further, the use of open source software can lead to vulnerabilities that may make our software susceptible to attack, and open source licenses generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. While we attempt to utilize open source software in a manner that helps alleviate these risks, our attempts may not be successful. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We invest significant time, resources and management attention to identifying and developing project leads that are subject to our sales and marketing focus and if we are unsuccessful in converting such project leads into binding purchase orders, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The commercial contracting and bidding process for solar project development is long and has multiple steps and uncertainties. We closely monitor the development of potential sales leads through this process. Project leads have failed and may in the future fail to be converted into binding purchase orders at any stage of the bidding process because either (i) a competitors’ product is selected to fulfill some or all of the order due to price, functionality or other reasons or (ii) the project does not progress to the stage involving the purchase of tracker systems or other technologies in our platform. If we fail to convert a significant number of project leads that are subject to our sales and marketing focus into binding purchase orders, our business or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties on whom we rely for new projects and who provide us with valuable customer feedback that helps guide our innovation.

In order to continue to win business, we must maintain and enhance our long-term strategic relationships with leading EPCs, developers, owners and operators of solar projects. These relationships enable us to serve as strategic advisors to each of these stakeholders in a solar project, increasing the probability that our product will be selected by these stakeholders in future projects. These stakeholders also provide us with valuable customer feedback that allows us to innovate on our products to meet the demands of our customers.

Any loss of these relationships could result in the potential loss of new projects, and the potential loss of innovation guidance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may need to defend ourselves against third-party claims that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating others’ intellectual property rights, which could divert management’s attention, cause us to incur significant costs, and prevent us from selling or using the technology to which such rights relate.

Our competitors, suppliers, and other third parties hold numerous patents related to technology used in our industry, and may hold or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights that could prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell or market our products and services. From time to time we may be subject to claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violation of patents or other intellectual property rights and related litigation. Such claims may also arise from the use of third-party components, technologies or services that are integrated into our products.

Regardless of their merit, responding to such claims can be time consuming, can divert management’s attention and resources, and may cause us to incur significant expenses in litigation or settlement and face negative publicity, and we cannot be certain that we would be successful in defending against any such claims in litigation or other proceedings. If we do not successfully defend or settle an intellectual property claim, we could be liable for significant monetary damages and could be prohibited from continuing to use certain technology, business methods, content or brands, and from making, selling or incorporating certain components or intellectual property into the products and services we offer. As a result, we could be forced to redesign our products and services, and/or to establish and maintain alternative branding for our products and services. To avoid litigation or being prohibited from marketing or selling the relevant products or services, we could seek a license from the applicable third party, which could require us to pay significant royalties, licensing fees, or other payments, increasing our operating expenses. If a license is not available at all or not available on reasonable terms, we may be required to develop or license a non-violating alternative, either of which could be infeasible or require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop a non-violating alternative, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our offerings and may be unable to effectively compete. Moreover, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our Class A common stock. Any of the foregoing could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure by our manufacturers or our component or raw material suppliers to use ethical business practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not control our manufacturers or suppliers or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that they follow ethical business practices such as fair wage practices and compliance with environmental, safety, labor and other laws. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead us to seek alternative manufacturers or suppliers, which could increase our costs and result in delayed delivery of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of our operations. If our suppliers, manufacturers, or other partners fail to comply with applicable laws, regulations, safety codes, employment practices, human rights standards, quality standards, environmental standards, production practices, or other obligations, norms, or ethical standards, our reputation and brand image could be harmed, and we could be exposed to litigation, investigations, enforcement actions, monetary liability and additional costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could be adversely affected by any violations of the FCPA and other foreign anti-bribery laws.

The FCPA generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making, promising, authorizing or offering improper payments or other things of value to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also requires that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. Other countries in which we operate also have anti-bribery laws, some of which prohibit improper payments to government and non-government persons and entities. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. However, we currently operate in and intend to further expand into many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. It is possible that our third-party manufacturers, other suppliers, employees, subcontractors, customers, agents or partners may take actions in violation of our policies or applicable anti-bribery laws. Any such violation, even if unauthorized and prohibited by our policies, could subject us to investigations, settlements, criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, or negative media coverage and cause harm to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may incur obligations, liabilities or costs under environmental, health and safety laws, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our suppliers’ operations involve the use, handling, generation, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances, chemicals and wastes. As a result, our suppliers are required to comply with national, state and local laws and regulations regarding the protection of the environment and health and safety. We are also required to comply with general national, state, local and foreign health and safety laws and regulations in every location that we have operations, employees and workers. Adoption of more stringent laws and regulations in the future, including restriction or prohibition on the use of raw materials currently utilized by our suppliers to manufacture products, could cause our suppliers to incur additional costs, which could increase the cost we pay for their products. Moreover, new environmental laws requiring changes to our suppliers’ use of raw materials could adversely impact the quality or performance of products we currently purchase. In addition, violations of, or liabilities under, these laws and regulations by our suppliers could result in our being subject to adverse publicity, reputational damage, substantial fines, penalties, criminal proceedings, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, cleanup costs or other costs. Further, the facilities of our suppliers, including suppliers who manufacture our products, components and materials, are located on properties with a history of use involving hazardous materials, chemicals and wastes and may be contaminated. We may become liable under certain environmental laws and regulations for costs to investigate or remediate contamination at such properties and under common law for bodily injury or property damage claims arising from the alleged impact of such contamination. Liability under environmental laws and regulations for investigating and remediating contamination can be imposed on a joint and several basis and without regard to fault or the legality of the activities giving rise to the contamination conditions. In addition, future developments such as more aggressive enforcement policies from the U.S. federal government or relevant foreign authorities, or the discovery of presently unknown environmental conditions may require expenditures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could increase our operating costs and impact our business.

The majority of our sales and cash are denominated in U.S. dollars, however we do have certain contracts with third parties that are denominated in, or otherwise affected by, other currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Indian rupee, Saudi riyal and Brazilian real, may result in foreign exchange gains or losses for us. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in these currencies impacting our operating results.

Currency exchange rates fluctuate daily as a result of a number of factors, including changes in a country’s political and economic policies. The primary impact of currency exchange fluctuations is on cash, payables and expenses related to transactions in currencies denominated in other than the U.S. dollar. As part of our currency hedging strategy, we may use financial instruments such as forward exchange, swap contracts and options to hedge our foreign currency exposure in order to reduce the short-term impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations on our operating results. If our hedging activities are not successful or if we change or reduce these hedging activities in the future, we may experience unexpected fluctuations in our operating results as a result of changes in exchange rates.

Furthermore, volatility in foreign exchange rates affects our ability to plan our pricing strategy. To the extent that we are unable to pass along increased costs and other financial effects resulting from exchange rate fluctuations to our customers, our profitability may be adversely impacted. As a result, fluctuations in non-U.S. dollar currencies and the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are required to pay others for certain tax benefits that we are deemed to realize under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and the amounts we may pay could be significant.

We entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Nextpower LLC, Yuma, Inc. ("Yuma"), Yuma Subsidiary, Inc. ("Yuma Sub"), TPG Inc. ("TPG") and the following affiliates of TPG: TPG Rise Climate Flash Cl BDH, L.P., TPG Rise Climate BDH, L.P. and The Rise Fund II BDH, L.P. (together, the "TPG Affiliates") in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"). Prior to the Spin Transactions (as defined in Note 6 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), Yuma and Yuma Sub assigned their respective rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement to an entity that remains an affiliate of Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by us to Flex’s affiliate, TPG and the TPG Affiliates (or certain permitted transferees thereof) of 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that we are deemed to realize under certain circumstances as a result of (i) our allocable share of existing tax basis in tangible and intangible assets resulting from exchanges or acquisitions of the LLC common units, including as part of the Transactions or under the Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 6 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in

this Annual Report on Form 10-K), (ii) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges or acquisitions of outstanding LLC common units and shares of Class B common stock (including as part of the Transactions, the subsequent follow-on offering or under the Exchange Agreement), (iii) certain pre-existing tax attributes of certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG that each merged with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of us, as part of the Transactions, and (iv) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Furthermore, our obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that are deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

In certain cases, our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to others may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that upon certain circumstances we will be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits, including upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control (with certain exceptions, such as the Spin Distribution and the Merger (as such terms are defined in Note 6 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K)), if we materially breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, or if, at any time, we elect an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The amount of any such payment would be based on certain assumptions, including that we (or our successor) would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result, we could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than the percentage specified in the Tax Receivable Agreement of the actual benefits that we realize in respect of the tax attributes that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and the upfront payment may be made years in advance of the actual realization of such future benefits (if any). Under certain circumstances, including an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity, as well as our attractiveness as a target for an acquisition. In addition, we may not be able to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine except with respect to the agreed tax treatment provided for in the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreement and a related side letter (the “TRA Side Letter”), which is treated as part of the Tax Receivable Agreement, provide that the parties will treat payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and TRA Side Letter that are attributable to certain tax benefits from exchanges of LLC common units under the Exchange Agreement and from the purchase of LLC common units from Yuma and TPG (with the net proceeds of the IPO and follow-on) as upward purchase price adjustments to the extent permitted by law and other than amounts treated as interest under the Code. We will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, even if the tax benefits underlying such payment are disallowed (although future amounts otherwise payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be reduced as a result thereof). In addition, the actual state or local tax savings we realize may be different than the amount of such tax savings we are deemed to realize under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which will be based on an assumed combined state and local tax rate applied to our reduction in taxable income as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the benefits that we actually realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

As a public company, we are subject to financial and other reporting and corporate governance requirements that may be difficult for us to satisfy, have resulted in increased costs and diverted resources and management attention from operating our business.

In February 2023, we became a public company and are now subject to various reporting and corporate governance requirements under the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. These requirements continue to impose significant compliance obligations upon us and require us, among other things, to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports specified under the Exchange Act and SEC regulations, prepare and distribute periodic reports and stockholder

communications under the applicable federal securities laws and Nasdaq rules and evaluate and maintain our system of internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Additionally, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are also required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to, and issue an opinion on, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to improve our internal controls over financial reporting; however, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if, when required, our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline. Further, we have recently acquired a number of businesses and may continue to acquire other businesses, and an acquired company may not have an adequate system of internal controls. As such, we may uncover new deficiencies.

We anticipate that the financial and corporate governance requirements that we are subject to as a public company will continue to require a significant commitment of resources and management oversight that has increased and may continue to increase our costs and might place a strain on our systems and resources. As a result, our management’s attention might be diverted from other business concerns.

We are subject to risks relating to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

From time to time, we are involved in various claims, suits, investigations and legal proceedings. Such legal claims or regulatory matters could involve matters relating to commercial disputes, government regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, employment or shareholder issues, workplace safety, product liability claims and other issues on a global basis. If we receive an adverse judgment in any such matter, we could be required to pay substantial damages and cease certain practices or activities. Regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation and other proceedings may be both time-consuming and disruptive to our business. The defense and ultimate outcome of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings may result in higher operating expenses and a decrease in operating margin, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Any existing or future lawsuits could be time-consuming, result in significant expense and divert the attention and resources of our management and other key employees, as well as harm our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Financing

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial flexibility, financial condition and our competitive position.

We have entered into the New Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). The obligations of the borrower and the LLC, under the New Credit Agreement and related loan documents are jointly and severally guaranteed by us and the LLC. To the extent that we incur indebtedness by drawing on our revolving credit facility, our level of indebtedness would increase the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have other important consequences to you and significant effects on our business. For example, it could:

•increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions;

•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•restrict us from exploiting business opportunities;

•make it more difficult to satisfy our financial obligations, including payments on our indebtedness;

•place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

•limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other general corporate purposes.

In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains, and the agreements evidencing or governing any other future indebtedness may contain, restrictive covenants that limit or will limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness. In addition, a default by us under the New Credit Agreement or an agreement governing any other future indebtedness may trigger cross-defaults under any other future agreements governing our indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default or cross-default under any of the present or future agreements governing our indebtedness, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the agreements. If any of our indebtedness were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay this indebtedness in full, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

The New Credit Agreement contains, and the agreements evidencing or governing any other future indebtedness may contain, financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, including restrictions on our or our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

•place liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets; and

•incur certain additional subsidiary indebtedness.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

Our indebtedness could limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, stock repurchases or other purposes. It may also increase our vulnerability to adverse economic, market and industry conditions, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business operations or to our industry overall, and place us at a disadvantage in relation to our competitors that have lower debt levels. Any or all of the foregoing events and/or factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may raise additional capital, which could have a dilutive effect on the existing holders of our common stock and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We periodically evaluate opportunities to access capital markets, taking into account our financial condition, regulatory capital ratios, business strategies, anticipated asset growth and other relevant considerations. It is possible that future acquisitions, organic growth or changes in regulatory capital requirements could require us to increase the amount or change the composition of our current capital, including our common equity. For all of these reasons and others, and always subject to market conditions, we may issue additional shares of common stock or other capital securities in public or private transactions.

The issuance of additional common stock, debt, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or that represent the right to receive common stock, or the exercise of such securities, could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other rights that would entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in dilution of the ownership interests of our stockholders.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the near term, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of potential gain for the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near term. We currently intend to retain nearly all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our future businesses and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Should we decide in the future to pay cash dividends on our common stock, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries. In addition, any future financing agreements may restrict our ability to pay dividends.

We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our debt.

The LLC’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our

business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

We may still incur substantially more debt or take other actions which would intensify the risks discussed above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in our debt instruments, some of which may be secured debt. Our New Credit Agreement restricts our ability to incur certain additional subsidiary indebtedness, but if the facility matures or is repaid, we may not be subject to such restrictions under the terms of any subsequent indebtedness.

Risks related to our Class A common stock

The price of our Class A common stock may continue to fluctuate substantially, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The market price of our Class A common stock has since the IPO fluctuated substantially, is highly volatile and may continue to fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our Class A common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in trading price of our common stock include the following:

•volume and customer mix for our products;

•the introduction of new products by us or others in our industry;

•the impact of inflation, higher interest rates or tariffs;

•the reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for our products or the solar industry generally;

•disputes or other developments with respect to our or others’ intellectual property rights;

•product liability claims or other litigation;

•quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of others in our industry;

•media exposure of our products or of those of others in our industry;

•changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals or applications;

•changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

•general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors; and

•changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, including as a result of future issuances of securities, sales of large blocks of Class A common stock by our stockholders and our employees, or our incurrence of debt.

In recent years, the stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

In addition, in the past, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. For example, in December 2024, a class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws was filed by a purported stockholder, naming as defendants us and certain of our officers, for allegedly making false and misleading statements about our business, financial results and prospects, and in January 2025 and March 2025, derivative actions were filed against our directors and certain of our officers based on the same factual allegations. We may be the target of additional litigation of this type in the future as well. Securities litigation brought against us following volatility in

our stock price, regardless of the merit or ultimate results of such litigation, could result in substantial costs, which would harm our financial condition and operating results and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.

Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock may be influenced to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. If any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports covering us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Class A common stock.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice and guidance may evolve over time. If our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from our assumptions, our operating results may be adversely affected and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our Class A common stock.

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class A common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team.

Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation specifies that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court in Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for most legal actions involving actions brought against us by stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any claim to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. We believe this exclusive forum provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law by chancellors particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum

litigation. However, such provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.

In addition, as permitted by the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and officers provide that:

•we will indemnify our directors and officers for serving us in those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at our request, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Such law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful;

•we may, in our discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law;

•we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers shall undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification;

•the rights conferred in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation are not exclusive, and we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons; and

•we may not retroactively amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provisions to reduce our indemnification obligations to directors, officers, employees and agent.

Under the Tax Matters Agreement, Nextpower will be restricted from taking certain actions that could adversely affect the intended tax treatment of the Spin Distribution or the Merger, and such restrictions could significantly impair Nextpower’s ability to implement strategic initiatives that otherwise would be beneficial.

The Tax Matters Agreement entered into by us, Yuma and Flex immediately prior to the Spin Distribution, which governs the rights, responsibilities and obligations of such parties with respect to taxes (including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes incurred as a result of the Tax Distributions, as defined in Note 6 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Distributions”), and the Merger), tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests and certain other matters (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), generally restricts Nextpower from taking certain actions that could adversely affect the intended tax treatment of the Spin Distribution or the Merger, subject to certain exceptions. As a result of these restrictions, Nextpower’s, ability to engage in certain transactions, such as the issuance or purchase of stock or certain business combinations, may be limited.

If we take any enumerated actions or omissions, or if certain events relating to us occur that would cause the Spin Distribution or the Merger to become taxable, we may be required to bear the cost of any resulting tax liability under the Tax Matters Agreement. Any such indemnification obligation likely would be substantial and likely would have a material adverse effect on us. These restrictions may reduce our ability to engage in certain business transactions that otherwise might be advantageous to us, which could adversely affect our business, result of operations or financial condition.

General risk factors

If we fail to manage our future growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service or adequately address competitive challenges.

We have experienced significant growth in recent periods. We intend to continue to expand our business significantly within existing and new markets. This growth has placed, and any future growth may place, a significant strain on our management, operational and financial infrastructure. In particular, we will be required to expand, train and manage our growing employee base and scale and improve our IT infrastructure in tandem with that headcount growth. Our management will also be required to maintain and expand our relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties and attract new customers and suppliers, as well as manage multiple geographic locations.

Our current and planned operations, personnel, IT and other systems and procedures might be inadequate to support our future growth and may require us to make additional unanticipated investment in our infrastructure. Our success and ability to further scale our business will depend, in part, on our ability to manage these changes in a cost-effective and efficient manner. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies or respond to competitive pressures. This could also result in declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increased costs, difficulties in introducing new offerings or other operational difficulties. Any failure to effectively manage growth could adversely impact our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

Our future success and ability to implement our business strategy depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel, and on the continued contributions of members of our senior management team and key technical personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. All of our employees, including our senior management, are free to terminate their employment relationships with us at any time.

Competition for highly skilled individuals with technical expertise is extremely intense, and we face challenges identifying, hiring and retaining qualified personnel in many areas of our business. Integrating new employees into our team could prove disruptive to our operations, require substantial resources and management attention and ultimately prove unsuccessful. An inability to retain our senior management and other key personnel or to attract additional qualified personnel could limit or delay our strategic efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Risk management and strategy

Nextpower maintains a cybersecurity and information security program designed to identify, assess, prioritize, and manage risks to our systems, data, and operations. Cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and is treated as an ongoing, adaptive process aligned with the evolving threat landscape and regulatory expectations.

We design our cybersecurity practices based on recognized industry standards and frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) and the CIS Critical Security Controls. We regularly evaluate and enhance our controls to address emerging threats, regulatory developments, and business requirements.

As part of our cybersecurity risk management processes, we assess whether identified cybersecurity threats or incidents are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its financial condition, results of operations, or business strategy. This includes defined processes for escalation, internal reporting, and, where appropriate, disclosure in accordance with applicable SEC requirements.

Key components of our cybersecurity risk management program include:

•Governance and Leadership: A dedicated cybersecurity leadership function, led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), is responsible for overseeing the cybersecurity program, strategy, and operations.

•Risk Identification and Assessment: We perform ongoing risk assessments to identify internal and external threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts to the business.

•Vulnerability Management: We conduct regular vulnerability scanning and engage independent third parties to perform penetration testing across our internal and external environments.

•Third-Party Risk Management: We assess the security posture of critical vendors and service providers through due diligence, contractual requirements, and ongoing monitoring.

•Threat Monitoring and Detection: We utilize a combination of automated tools, security monitoring platforms, and threat intelligence feeds to detect, analyze, and respond to potential threats in a timely manner.

•Incident Response and Recovery: We maintain and periodically test an incident response plan designed to enable timely detection, containment, remediation, and recovery from cybersecurity incidents. We incorporate lessons learned from incidents and exercises into program improvements.

•Security Awareness and Training: We provide ongoing cybersecurity awareness and training programs to employees to reduce human-related risk factors.

•Risk Prioritization and Remediation: Identified risks are documented in a centralized risk register and prioritized based on potential business impact, with remediation efforts tracked through formal governance processes.

We engage external cybersecurity firms and advisors, where appropriate, to support assessments, testing, and program maturity evaluations.

We regularly review and update our cybersecurity program to reflect changes in the threat landscape, business operations, and regulatory environment.

As of the date of this report, we have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats or incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, cybersecurity threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, and we remain focused on strengthening our defenses, detection capabilities, and response readiness.

For additional information regarding cybersecurity risks, refer to the risk factor titled “Cybersecurity or other data security incidents could materially disrupt our operations, compromise sensitive information, and adversely affect our financial performance and reputation” in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Governance

Our Board of Directors oversee enterprise risk management, including cybersecurity risk. The Board has delegated primary oversight of cybersecurity risk to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing management’s assessment of cybersecurity risks, including the overall threat landscape, key risk exposures, and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies and investments. The Audit Committee receives regular updates from management on cybersecurity matters and reports to the full Board as appropriate.

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks. This includes identifying and assessing risks, implementing and maintaining controls, monitoring for threats, determining materiality of incidents, and responding to cybersecurity events.

The cybersecurity program is led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), who has over 15 years of experience in cybersecurity, information security, and enterprise risk management. The CISO has held senior leadership roles, including prior CISO positions, overseeing the design and operation of enterprise security programs across cloud and on-premises environments, including areas such as threat detection and response, vulnerability management, and security governance. The CISO holds the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification. The CISO regularly reports to senior management and the Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks, incidents, program maturity, strategic initiatives, regulatory

compliance, and significant developments in the cybersecurity landscape, and is responsible for providing updates during potentially material cybersecurity incidents.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located in Fremont, California, USA and consist of approximately 85,000 square feet of leased office, laboratory and warehouse space which is used to accommodate office staff, research and development projects, machine shop work, tools repair, shipping and receiving. Our leased land holding our Center for Solar Excellence adjacent to our headquarters, as well as our leased 22-acre foundations research facility located in Paterson, California, are used for field testing, research and development, training and marketing purposes.

In addition, we lease an aggregate of approximately 175,000 square feet of office space in California, Tennessee, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Israel, Mexico, and Spain. We also lease approximately 300,000 square feet of warehouse space across various global facilities, including California, Nevada, Brazil, China and India.

We believe our facilities are in adequate condition and meet our current needs. We have the ability to add new facilities and expand our existing facilities as we continue to add employees and expand into new geographic markets.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we have in the past and may in the future become involved in various legal actions and other claims. We may also become involved in other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. In addition, from time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of letters and other forms of communication. These legal proceedings may be subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance of the outcome of any individual proceedings. We do not believe that these matters, and we are not a party to any other legal proceedings that we believe, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading global provider of solar and energy technology solutions for utility-scale power plants. Founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Dan Shugar, we pioneered and remain the global market leader in solar tracking systems. We now deliver an integrated suite of structural, electrical, and digital solutions across the full lifecycle of solar power plants, from design and construction through operations and maintenance. Our integrated solutions are designed to streamline project execution, increase energy yield and long-term reliability, and enhance customer return on investment (“ROI”).

We have shipped more than 160 GW of solar tracker systems as of March 31, 2026 to projects on six continents for use in utility-scale and distributed generation solar applications. Our customers include engineering, procurement and construction firms ("EPCs"), as well as solar project developers and owners. Developers originate projects, select and acquire sites, obtain permits, select contractors, negotiate power offtake agreements, and oversee the building of projects. EPCs design and optimize the system, procure components, build and commission the plant, and operate the plant for a limited time until transfer to a long-term owner. Owners, which are often independent power producers, own and operate the plant, typically as part of a portfolio of similar assets. Owners generate cash flows through the sale of electricity to utilities, wholesale markets, or end users.

For the majority of our projects, our direct customer is the EPC. We also engage with project owners and developers and enter into master supply agreements that cover multiple projects. We are a qualified, preferred provider to some of the largest solar EPCs, project owners, and developers in the world. We had revenues of $3.6 billion, $3.0 billion and $2.5 billion in fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following tables set forth geographic information of revenue based on the locations to which the products are shipped:

	Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2026			2025			2024

In November 2025, we rebranded our company from Nextracker to Nextpower. Our new brand reflects the Company’s strategic evolution from a pure-play tracking systems supplier to an end-to-end solar technology platform provider, echoing the preeminent role that solar power has achieved globally as the leading source of annual new energy buildout.

Nextpower Arabia, our joint venture with Abdullah Abunayyan Investment Holding (“Abunayyan”), became operational in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The new joint venture, headquartered in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will provide tracker system equipment for utility-scale solar power plants across the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") region. The shareholders of Nextpower Arabia include Nextracker Spain S.L., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the LLC, and Abunayyan. As part of the Joint Venture Agreement, we transferred ownership of two Saudi Arabia subsidiaries to Nextpower Arabia. The joint venture shareholders have an equal number of board seats, with the chair position appointed by Abunayyan, which also nominates the chief executive officer. Abunayyan will maintain 51% common stock ownership interest and decisions over the activities of the joint venture are made by its board through a simple majority vote, other than a defined list of reserved matters which require higher approval thresholds. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for by us as an equity method investment. For further details on the joint venture, refer to Note 2 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Acquisitions

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we completed four acquisitions that continue our strategy of adding and incorporating complementary technologies into the Company’s market-leading tracker platform to accelerate solar power plant construction, increase performance, and enhance long-term reliability.

•On May 7, 2025, as part of an all-cash transaction, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Bentek, an industry pioneer and manufacturer of electrical infrastructure components that collect and transport electricity from solar panels to the power grid. The acquisition combines Bentek’s engineered, pre-assembled eBOS solutions with our solar tracker platform, providing customers with streamlined procurement and project logistics from a single source.

•On May 9, 2025, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in OnSight, an autonomous robotic inspection and fire detection system for solar plants. OnSight expands the Company’s strategy focused on applying automation, data, and advanced technologies to solar power plant deployment and operations, including applications in installation, inspection, and ongoing system management.

•On September 8, 2025, in an all-cash transaction, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Origami, a pioneer in roll-formed steel frame technology for solar panels. Steel frames offer a high-performance alternative to traditional extruded aluminum frames, delivering strength and durability, competitive cost, and the potential for a more localized supply chain,

•On November 7, 2025, in an all-cash transaction, we acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Fracsun Inc., a market leader in solar panel soiling measurement and monitoring solutions.

The aggregate cash consideration of the foregoing business acquisitions was approximately $116.8 million, net of cash acquired. Their aggregate total purchase price of $149.4 million includes $2.7 million of deferred consideration expected to be paid within a 12-month period, and $29.9 million of contingent earnout in aggregate (with a maximum possible consideration of $58.5 million). For further details on the acquisitions refer to Note 14 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On May 12, 2026, we announced we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire complementary assets of Zigor Corporation’s power conversion business and its U.S.-based subsidiary, Apex Power. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for additional details.

Our business model

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of solar trackers system, but our solutions extend to include yield management systems, foundations, steel frames, electrical balance of systems (eBOS), robotic services, risk mitigation and operability solutions and emerging technologies designed to optimize performance across the entire solar power plant. Our most significant source of revenue is the sale of solar tracking products. Our customers include EPCs, as well as solar project developers and owners. We usually enter into a different contract with our customers for each individual solar project. Contracts typically stipulate total price, technical solution, specifications of the system sold, delivery and activation schedule, warranty terms and related services provided. The delivery period for a specific contract can range from days to several months depending on the size of the project. Our contract prices range from a few hundred thousand dollars to over one hundred million dollars.

Demand for our products is largely driven by installations of utility-scale solar projects around the world. The volume of solar projects installations is dependent on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the cost of solar plants in comparison to other forms of power generation, prevailing electricity prices, conventional power generation plant retirement, global renewable energy targets, government regulations, and public incentives promoting solar energy. Our revenue is subject to variability as these factors change over time, and as a result may cause variability in our quarterly shipments. Increases in competitive tracker pricing pressure can also affect our revenue by lowering the average selling price (“ASP”) of our products. Our integrated design approach enables deployment across a wide range of topographical and climate conditions and supports efficient construction and long-term operation of utility-scale solar projects. By combining hardware, software, and engineering capabilities, we aim to deliver scalable solutions that help customers meet increasing demand for reliable, cost-effective electricity.

We operate in nearly all significant tracker markets around the world. We have dedicated sales staff in the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and other countries in Europe, India, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa to support our sales activities in those geographies. Our local presence is complemented with the following go-to-market strategies:

•Our sales and marketing strategy is focused on building long-term relationships with key stakeholders involved in developing, building, owning, and maintaining utility-scale solar projects. We educate those stakeholders on the benefits of our solutions, including increased energy yield performance, superior constructability, reliability, ease of maintenance, and advanced sensor capabilities compared to competing products.

•In the United States and more mature international markets, our sales team maintains active relationships with key stakeholders and customers such as developers and builders of utility-scale solar systems. We leverage these relationships and knowledge of the available project pipeline, inbound requests for proposals (“RFPs”) from potential customers, and competitive dynamics. Frequently we are either awarded the project outright or become ‘short-listed’ among a group of eligible bidders. In each case we create a detailed proposal that leverages our project engineering expertise to offer a compelling project and/or project portfolio-specific value proposition.

•In less mature international markets, we leverage a variety of broad and account-based marketing techniques to acquire customers. These include conducting thought leadership seminars and developer forums, installation training programs, and participation in industry conferences, events, and trade associations.

•We set pricing for our products based on the long-term value derived from energy yield performance and total cost of ownership. For our core tracker products, we offer differing pricing to address multiple market segments based on site characteristics and weather protection requirements, among other factors.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting financial information. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present our financial statements fairly have been included. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Nextpower have been eliminated.

Key business and operational metrics

In addition to information related to our financial performance, we use certain operating metrics to evaluate our business. These metrics, together with our financial statements, are used by our management to measure our performance, identify trends impacting our business and formulate projections. One metric we use to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products from year to year is GW delivered generally and the change in GW delivered from year to year specifically. GW is calculated specifically for each project and represents the nameplate, or maximum, power output capacity of the project under optimized conditions once the project is fully operational. GW delivered for a project is calculated as the total nameplate capacity of the project multiplied by the cost of materials delivered to the project as a percentage of the total materials cost of the project.

	Fiscal year ended March 31,			2026 vs. 2025<br> % Change	2025 vs. 2024 <br>% Change
	2026	2025	2024
GW delivered	38.0	33.6	26.0	13%	29%

Critical accounting policies and significant management estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, provision for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves, contingencies, operation related accruals, fair values of awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in business combinations (including contingent earnout liabilities). We periodically review estimates and assumptions, and the effects of our revisions are reflected in the period they occur. We believe that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented.

In applying ASC 606, we recognize revenue from the sale of solar tracker systems, parts, extended warranties on solar tracker systems components and energy yield management systems along with associated maintenance and support. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, we apply the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. In assessing the recognition of revenue, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. Further, we assess whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time or over time. For further details on our revenue recognition refer to Note 2 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) 45X Vendor Rebates and Assignments

We have executed agreements with certain suppliers to grow our U.S. manufacturing footprint. These suppliers produce 45X Credit-eligible parts, including torque tubes and structural fasteners, that will then be incorporated into a solar tracker. The 45X Credit was eligible for domestic parts manufactured after January 1, 2023. We have contractually agreed with these suppliers to either share a portion of the economic value of the credit related to our purchases in the form of a vendor rebate or assign their credit directly to us (“an assignment”) pursuant to Section 6418 of the IRC. We account for the 45X Credits shared or assigned to us as a reduction of the purchase price of the parts acquired from the vendor and therefore a reduction of inventory until the control of the part is transferred to the customer, at which point we recognize such amounts as a reduction of cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (refer to Note 13 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements). 45X Credits assigned to us are also treated as a reduction to our federal tax payable as further discussed in Note 12 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Product warranty

We offer an assurance type warranty for our products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period ranging from two to ten years, depending on the component. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, which is typically when products are delivered. The estimated warranty liability is based on our warranty model which relies on historical warranty claim information and assumptions based on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims for each product line by project. When little or no experience exists, the estimate is based on comparable product lines and/or estimated potential failure rates. These estimates are based on data from our specific projects. Estimates related to the outstanding warranty liability are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis using best-available information and revisions are made as necessary.

Changes to our expected failure rates related to our core products have not materially impacted our warranty obligation in fiscal years 2026 and 2025. The Company continues to monitor and update the warranty liability based on current estimates related to the cost of replacement parts and repairs.

Accounting for business acquisitions

From time to time, we pursue business acquisitions. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets, contingent earnout, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill.

We estimate the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further review from management and may change between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Income taxes

We operate in numerous states and countries and must allocate our income, expenses, and earnings under the various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, our provision for income taxes represents our total estimate of the liability for income taxes that we have incurred in doing business each year in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Annually, we file tax returns that represent our filing positions with each jurisdiction and settle our tax return liabilities. Each jurisdiction has the right to audit those tax returns and may take different positions with respect to income and expense allocations and taxable earnings determinations. Because the determination of our annual income tax provision is subject to judgments and estimates, actual results may vary from those recorded in our financial statements. We recognize additions to and reductions in income tax expense during a reporting period that pertains to prior period provisions as our estimated liabilities are revised and our actual tax returns and tax audits are completed.

Our management is required to exercise judgment in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance that might be required against deferred tax assets. For further

details on our income taxes, refer to Note 12 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Tax receivable agreement

We have recorded a liability of $393.2 million and $419.4 million, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, of which $372.7 million and $394.9 million, respectively, were included in TRA liabilities and $20.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively, were included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and represents 85% of the estimated future tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement entered into by Nextpower Inc. on February 13, 2023 (the “Tax Receivable Agreement” or “TRA” ). In U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize or are deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes, will be available to us as a result of certain transactions executed in connection with our IPO and follow-on offering, exchanges of Class A common stock and payments made under the TRA. The actual amount and timing of any payments under these agreements will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, we consider our historical results as well as assumptions related to future forecasts for our various businesses by location. The impact of any changes in the total projected obligations recorded under the TRA as a result of actual changes in the geographic mix of our earnings, changes in tax legislation and tax rates or other factors that may impact our actual tax savings realized will be reflected in income before taxes in the period in which the change occurs.

Key components of our results of operations

The following discussion describes certain line items in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Revenue

We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of solar trackers and energy yield management systems to our customers. Our revenue growth is dependent on (i) our ability to maintain and expand our market share, (ii) total market growth and (iii) our ability to develop and introduce new products driving performance enhancements and cost efficiencies throughout the solar power plant. To a lesser extent, we also derived our revenue from yield management systems, foundations, steel frames, eBOS, AI and robotic services, and other.

Cost of sales and gross profit

Cost of sales consists primarily of purchased components net of any incentives or rebates earned from our suppliers, shipping and other logistics costs, applicable tariffs, standard product warranty costs, amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation and direct labor. Direct labor costs represent expenses of personnel directly related to project execution such as supply chain, logistics, quality, tooling, operations and customer satisfaction. Amortization of intangibles consists of developed technology and certain acquired patents over its expected period of use and is also included under cost of sales.

Steel prices, cost of transportation, and labor costs in countries where our suppliers perform manufacturing activities affect our cost of sales. Our ability to lower our cost of sales depends on implementation and design improvements to our products as well as on driving more cost-effective manufacturing processes with our suppliers. We generally do not directly purchase raw materials such as steel or electronic components and generally do not hedge against changes in their price. Most of our cost of sales are directly affected by sales volume. Personnel costs related to our supply chain, logistics, quality, and tooling are not directly impacted by our sales volume.

Operating expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs associated with our administrative and support functions. These costs include, among other things, personnel costs, stock-based compensation, facilities charges including depreciation associated with administrative functions, professional services, travel expenses, and allowance for bad debt. Professional services include audit, legal, tax and other consulting services. We have expanded our sales organization and

expect to scale our sales headcount to support our planned growth. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur on an ongoing basis certain new costs related to the requirements of being a publicly traded company, including insurance, accounting, tax, legal and other professional services costs, which could be material. Amortization of intangibles consists of customer relationships and trade names over their expected period of use and is included under selling, general and administrative expenses. Acquisition-related costs are also included under selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs associated with our engineering employees, stock-based compensation, third-party consulting and supporting our new business acquisitions. Research and development activities include improvements to our existing products, development of new tracker products and energy yield management systems and innovations to expand our technology platform. We expense substantially all research and development expenses as incurred. We expect that the dollar amount of research and development expenses will increase in amount over time.

Income tax expense

Our taxable income is primarily from the allocation of taxable income from the LLC. The provision for income taxes primarily represents the LLC’s U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes as well as foreign income taxes payable by its subsidiaries. We expect to receive a tax benefit for foreign tax credits in the United States for the foreign tax paid.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our performance. We define Adjusted gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense and intangible amortization. We define Adjusted operating income as operating income plus stock-based compensation expense, intangible amortization and non-recurring integration activities related to acquisitions. We define Adjusted net income as net income (loss) plus stock-based compensation expense, intangible amortization, non-recurring tax adjustments, non-recurring integration activities related to acquisitions and other

discrete events as applicable, net of their tax effects. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest, net, (ii) debt extinguishment costs, (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation expense, (v) intangible amortization, (vi) stock-based compensation expense, (vii) non-recurring integration activities related to acquisitions and (viii) other discrete events as applicable. We define Adjusted gross margin as the percentage derived from Adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. We define Adjusted net income margin as the percentage derived from Adjusted net income divided by revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as the percentage derived from Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin are intended as supplemental measures of performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. We present these Adjusted financial measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we may use all or any combination of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA when determining incentive compensation and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

Among other limitations, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income margin, Adjusted gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect our cash expenditures or future capital expenditures or contractual commitments (including under the Tax Receivable Agreement), do not reflect the impact of certain cash or non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations and do not reflect the associated income tax expense or benefit related to those charges. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently from us, which further limits their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted financial measures on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

(1)Represents transaction and integration costs incurred in relation to our acquisitions. We do not believe that the acquisition transaction costs are normal operating expenses indicative of our core operating performance, nor were these charges taken into account as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation or to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

(2)Vendor credits as previously defined under the section above entitled "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 45X Vendor Rebates and Assignments." During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company determined the amount and collectability of the 45X Credit vendor rebates it expects to receive in accordance with the vendor contracts and recognized a cumulative reduction to cost of sales of $121.4 million related to 45X Credit vendor rebates earned on production of eligible components shipped to projects starting on January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding the benefit from the vendor credits provides

a more consistent comparison of our performance given the cumulative nature of the amount recorded in the fiscal year. In fiscal year 2024, these vendor rebates were not taken into account as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation or to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. However, starting in fiscal year 2025, vendor rebates are taken into account to evaluate management’s performance.

(3)Debt extinguishment costs consist of nonrecurring costs for the termination of our Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below) originally entered into on February 13, 2023.

(4)Includes an immaterial amount of non-cash equity in loss for the Nextpower Arabia joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method investment accounting.

The data below, and discussion that follows, represents our results from operations.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $600.2 million, or 20%, for our fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by a 13% increase in GW delivered as we delivered approximately 38 GW during fiscal year 2026, compared to 34 GW during fiscal year 2025. The revenue increase was driven primarily by higher customer demand in the U.S., along with a $365.0 million rise in point in time revenue reflecting year over year increase in components directly shipped to our customers’ designated locations including software licenses, coupled with additional contributions from our recent business acquisitions. Revenue increased approximately $699.1 million, or 34%, in the U.S. while decreasing slightly by $98.9 million or 11% in the Rest of the World during fiscal year 2026 compared to the previous year. The decline in the Rest of the World was primarily driven by reduced shipments to Latin America. Our revenue mix is comprised predominantly of solar tracker system sales. We continue to expand our platform of services in fiscal year 2026 and have recognized revenue for TrueCapture, eBOS, foundations, robotic solutions, and other. Solar tracker system sales was approximately 88% of total revenue and non-tracker sales was approximately 12% of total revenue, which was up from approximately 8% from fiscal year 2025. The growth in our non-tracker platform solutions sales was higher than our solar tracker system sales, a trend we expect to continue.

Cost of sales and gross profit

Cost of sales increased by $448.9 million, or 23%, during fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025 primarily due to the increase in GW delivered noted above, along with higher cost associated with the increase in headcount as a result of our recent business acquisitions also noted above, coupled with the impact from a $110.7 million increase in tariffs which increased to $130.4 million in fiscal year 2026 from $19.7 million in fiscal year 2025, offset by the impact from the 45X Credit (refer to Note 13 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). As noted in the overview, we recognize a reduction in cost of sales for the 45X Credit earned on components manufactured in the U.S. During fiscal year 2026, we recognized approximately $379.9 million of reduction to cost of sales related to the 45X Credit earned on production of eligible components shipped during the period, compared to $224.9 million recognized in fiscal year 2025. Freight and logistics costs (excluding tariffs) as a percentage of revenue remained relatively flat at approximately 6% during fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

Gross profit increased by $151.3 million, or 15%, during fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, primarily resulting from the U.S. revenue growth noted above and the impact of the 45X Credit recognized, offset by the higher tariffs coupled with the higher cost associated with our increase in headcount noted above. Freight and logistics costs (excluding tariffs) as a percentage of cost of sales increased by about 118 basis points during fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Gross margin decreased by 150 basis points, to 32.6% for fiscal year 2026 from 34.1% for fiscal year 2025 primarily resulting from the increase in tariffs noted above that were not fully included in pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $51.6 million, or 18%, to $341.9 million for fiscal year 2026, from approximately $290.3 million in fiscal year 2025, while decreasing approximately 20 basis points from approximately 9.8% to approximately 9.6% as a percentage of revenue during the same period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of approximately $40.1 million rise in costs related to our continued expansion of our sales organization in line with the growth in the global market, and the expansion of our supporting functions also required to support our current and planned growth, coupled with a $5.0 million increase in acquisition-related costs incurred in conjunction with our new business acquisitions, offset by a $6.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense incurred in conjunction with our 2022 equity incentive plan.

Research and development

Research and development expenses increased $41.5 million, or 52%, to $120.9 million for fiscal year 2026 from approximately $79.4 million during fiscal year 2025 driven by our continued investment in innovation, increasing our engineering team and supporting our new expanded product portfolio.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $10.5 million, or 80%, to $2.6 million for fiscal year 2026 from $13.1 million during fiscal year 2025, primarily driven by the full repayment of the Term Loan under the Prior Credit Agreement in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $19.2 million for fiscal year 2026, which primarily included $31.2 million interest income, partially offset by $7.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange losses coupled with $5.8 million of debt extinguishment costs and transaction costs associated with our Prior Credit Agreement. Other income, net was $22.0 million for fiscal year 2025, which primarily included $22.2 million interest income, partially offset by $1.4 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange losses.

Provision for income tax

We accrue and pay income taxes according to the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction in which we operate. Most of our revenue and profits are generated in the United States with a statutory income tax rate of approximately 21% in fiscal years 2026 and 2025. For fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we recorded total income tax expense of $127.9 million and $130.8 million, respectively, which reflected consolidated effective income tax rates of 17.9% and 20.2%, respectively. The decrease in tax expense as well as effective tax rate from fiscal year 2025 to 2026 is driven by an increase in realizable foreign tax credits related to prior year transfer pricing adjustments and deferred tax benefit due to an increase to the estimated U.S. state tax rate.

From time to time, we are subject to income and non-income based tax audits in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax rules and regulations in a number of jurisdictions. Due to such complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment or refund that is materially different from our estimates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal uses of cash have been to fund our operations and invest in research and development and our cash flow generation and credit facilities have continued to provide adequate liquidity for our business. We enhanced our capital structure with a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, expanding our total liquidity to approximately $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Credit Facilities

On September 8, 2025, we and the LLC, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), which replaced the prior credit agreement originally entered into by us on February 13, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on September 8, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). The initial maximum aggregate principal amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility is $1.0 billion. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the LLC may request an increase in the aggregate amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility of up to $250.0 million at any time. The New Revolving Credit Facility provides for sub-facilities for the issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million and swingline loans not to exceed $150.0 million in the aggregate.

The LLC may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the New Credit Agreement from time to time until the Maturity Date. Voluntary prepayments under the New Credit Agreement are permitted from time to time generally without premium or penalty. The New Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and the LLC. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of either (i) the Term SOFR rate, (ii) the Daily Simple SOFR rate, (iii) the Term RFR rate, (iv) the Daily Simple RFR rate, or (v) the Eurocurrency Rate, plus the Applicable Margin, each as defined and described in the New Credit Agreement with respect to the applicable type of borrowing.

The LLC is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility commitments, ranging from 7.5 to 20 basis points, depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating. Additionally, the LLC is required to pay a quarterly letters of credit fee on the utilized portion, ranging from 87.5 to 150 basis points, also depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limits the ability of us, the LLC and its subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens and requires us and the LLC to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio below a certain threshold.

As a result of the New Credit Agreement, we capitalized approximately $2.0 million of issuance costs related to the New Revolving Credit Facility, which were included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $922.1 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of 77.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Concurrently with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, we voluntarily terminated our Prior Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments and all revolving loans under the Prior Credit Agreement, including all accrued interest or fees, have been paid and terminated in full as of September 8, 2025. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, of which no amounts were drawn as of termination. In conjunction with the termination, we wrote off all unamortized issuance costs related to the Prior Credit Agreement as of September 8, 2025 and as a result recorded a total loss of approximately $5.8 million, including debt extinguishment costs and transaction costs, in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations. We incurred no termination penalties in connection with the early termination of the Prior Credit Agreement.

Supplier Finance Program

We participate in various supplier finance programs administered by a third-party financial institution. Under such programs, certain suppliers may, at their sole discretion, elect to sell one or more of their receivables from us to a financial institution. Our payment obligations to the financial institution are not accelerated and remain subject to the original contractual terms agreed with the supplier. We do not provide guarantees or collateral in connection with these arrangements. Amounts payable under the programs are included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets and payments made under the programs are reported as operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, on February 13, 2023, Nextpower Inc. also entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provided for the payment by us to Flex, TPG Rise Flash, L.P (“TPG Rise”), and the following affiliates of TPG Rise: TPG Rise Climate Flash Cl BDH, L.P., TPG Rise Climate BDH, L.P. and The Rise Fund II BDH, L.P. (collectively, the “TPG Affiliates”) (or certain permitted transferees thereof) of 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that we are deemed to realize under certain circumstances, as more fully described in Note 12 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement or distributions to us by the LLC are not sufficient to permit us to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after we have paid taxes. Prior to the separation from Flex, Yuma and Yuma Sub assigned their respective rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement to an entity that remains an affiliate of Flex.

We believe that our cash provided by operations and other existing and committed sources of liquidity, including our New Credit Agreement, will provide adequate liquidity for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and other investments, potential debt service requirements and payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows Analysis

	Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2026		2025		2024
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	562,911	$	655,794	$	428,973
Net cash used in investing activities	(186,878)		(186,096)		(6,660)
Net cash used in financing activities	(47,160)		(177,649)		(78,267)

Fiscal year 2026

Net cash provided by operating activities was $562.9 million during fiscal year 2026. Total cash provided during the period was driven by net income of $585.9 million adjusted for non-cash charges of approximately $188.9 million primarily related to stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement, provision for credit losses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and debt extinguishment costs. Cash from net income was further decreased by the overall increase in our net working capital accounts driven by the growth in our operations resulting in an outflow of approximately $211.8 million during the fiscal year. Accounts receivable and contract assets in aggregate increased $64.6 million due to the timing of billings and new projects, coupled with a $267.1 million increase attributable to our Section 45X credit receivable. Inventory increased approximately $46.6 million due to timing of shipments, other assets increased $94.3 million driven by advance tax payments, and accounts payable decreased about $49.4 million due to our timing of payment cycles. Offsetting the cash outflows were increases in other liabilities primarily driven by increase in customer advances of approximately $55.7 million, coupled with an increase in deferred revenue of $68.1 million driven by more deposits on higher bookings during the fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $186.9 million and directly attributable to the $117.2 million payment for all business acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2026 net of cash acquired, coupled with $49.3 million paid for the purchase of property and equipment, and $12.2 million of cash contributed to the Nextpower Arabia joint venture.

Net cash used in financing activities was $47.2 million primarily resulting from a $27.4 million payment to Flex, TPG and the TPG Affiliates pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, a $14.3 million payment of acquisition deferred purchase price, a $3.0 million tax distribution to our former non-controlling interest holders pursuant to the LLC Agreement and a $2.0 million payment for issuance costs for the New Credit Agreement.

Fiscal year 2025

Net cash provided by operating activities was $655.8 million during fiscal year 2025. Total cash provided during the period was driven by net income of $517.2 million adjusted for non-cash charges of approximately $139.6 million primarily related to stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement and provision for credit losses. Our net working capital accounts remained consistent year over year as the increase in our accounts receivable, including Section 45X credit receivable, and other assets were offset by increased accounts payable net of a reduction in other current liabilities. Other current and noncurrent liabilities decreased $55.1 million primarily due to a decrease in accrued freight, accounts receivable and contract assets in aggregate increased $56.4 million due to the timing of billings and deliveries. Further, a $92.1 million increase was attributable to our Section 45X credit receivable. Other current and noncurrent assets increased $67.9 million driven by advance payments to suppliers. Offsetting the cash outflows were increases in accounts payable of $102.9 million, due to increased volume and timing of related payment cycles, and increases in deferred revenue of $34.7 million driven primarily by increased deposits on higher bookings during the year.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $186.1 million and directly attributable to the $144.7 million payment for the business acquisitions completed during the fiscal year, net of cash acquired, coupled with a $33.9 million purchase of property and equipment, and $7.5 million of payments for certain intangible assets presented within other investing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $177.6 million primarily resulting from a $150.0 million repayment of our Term Loan, a $15.5 million payment to Flex, TPG and the TPG Affiliates pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, $6.1 million of tax distributions to our non-controlling interest holders pursuant to the LLC Agreement and a $6.0 million payment for issuance costs for the Prior Credit Agreement.

Fiscal year 2024

Net cash provided by operating activities was $429.0 million during fiscal year 2024. Total cash provided during the period was driven by net income of $496.2 million adjusted for non-cash charges of approximately $25.5 million primarily related to deferred income taxes associated with our Tax Receivable Agreement partially offset by stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization; coupled with depreciation, amortization and provision for credit losses. Cash from net income was further decreased by the overall increase in our net operating assets and liabilities, primarily our net working capital accounts, resulting in an outflow of approximately $92.8 million. Accounts receivable and contract assets in aggregate increased approximately $213.1 million during fiscal year 2024, resulting from a significant increase in revenue during the second half of the fiscal year, and increase of inventories of approximately $61.0 million due to strong future demand. Partially offsetting the cash outflows were increases in accounts payable of approximately $245.4 million partially associated with increased volume in the second half of the fiscal year and increase in our payment cycles, increases in deferred revenue of approximately $82.6 million driven by increased deposits on higher bookings during the fiscal year, coupled with increases in other assets of $104.2 million primarily related to the recognition of the vendor rebate receivables, and increases in other liabilities of approximately $42.5 million primarily due to the increase in the TRA liability.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $6.7 million and directly attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $78.3 million primarily resulting from the tax distributions to our non-controlling interest holders pursuant to the LLC Agreement, and our payment to Flex for the cash pool payable outstanding to Flex. After repaying such amount to Flex, no such cash pool payable was outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Cash management and financing

We had total liquidity of approximately $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2026, primarily related to unutilized amounts under the New Revolving Credit Facility net of cumulative letters of credit issued in conjunction with our customer contracts, and our cash and cash equivalents balance.

Contractual obligations and commitments

As discussed in the “Credit Facilities” section above, in September 2025, we entered into a New Credit Agreement, which replaced the Prior Credit Agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2023. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion unsecured New Revolving Credit Facility that matures on September 8, 2030. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $922.1 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of $77.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. For further details on the New Credit Agreement, refer to Note 9 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have historically maintained a low level of net working capital requirements and funded those requirements through cash from operations as we do not require a significant amount of investment to fund growth. The Company currently does not participate in off-balance sheet financial arrangements. We have purchase obligations that arise in the normal course of business primarily consisting of binding purchase orders for inventory-related items.

We have leased certain facilities under operating lease commitments as further described in Note 3 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We also have outstanding firm purchase orders with certain suppliers for the purchase of inventory, which are not included in the table above. Most of the purchase obligations are generally short-term in nature. We generally do not enter into non-cancelable purchase orders for materials. Our purchase obligations can fluctuate significantly from period to period and can materially impact our future operating asset and liability balances, and our future working capital requirements. We intend to use our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations to fund our existing and future contractual obligations.

Surety bonds

We are required to provide surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee our performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. These off-balance sheet arrangements do not adversely impact our liquidity or capital resources.

Share repurchase program

On January 27, 2026, we announced that our board of directors approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $499.6 million remained available for future share repurchases under the program. The share repurchase program has a term of three years and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with our working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. Our execution of the share repurchase program will depend on the market price of our Class A common stock and other factors, and there can be no assurance that any additional shares will be repurchased under the share repurchase program.

Under the program, we may purchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, or any combination thereof. In addition, open market repurchases of our Class A common stock may be made pursuant to trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit our Class A common stock to be repurchased at a time that we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions.

Power conversion business acquisition

On May 12, 2026, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire complementary assets of Zigor Corporation’s power conversion business and its U.S.-based subsidiary, Apex Power, for a total purchase price of approximately $80.5 million, consisting of cash consideration of $46.0 million, and up to $34.5 million in potential earnout. The closing of the acquisition is subject to foreign direct investment (FDI) approval by the Spanish government and other customary conditions. The transaction is expected to expand our product portfolio and capabilities in utility-scale solar power conversion and support our entry into battery energy storage and data center markets.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in commodity prices, such as steel and customer concentrations. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes as of March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 9 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks for changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, except with respect to potential interest rate changes to our credit facilities, for which the impact was immaterial for the fiscal year ended 2026.

Concentration of major customers

Our customer base consists primarily of EPCs, as well as solar project owners and developers. We do not require collateral on our trade receivables. The loss of any one of our top five customers could have a materially adverse effect on our revenue and profits.

The following table sets forth the percentage of revenue from our customers that exceeded 10% of our total revenue and from our five largest customers during the periods included below:

	Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2026	2025	2024
Customer G	*	*	17.0%
Top five largest customers	34.3%	32.0%	41.1%

* Percentage below 10%

Our trade accounts receivable and contract assets are from companies within the solar industry and, as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We periodically evaluate our reserves for potential credit losses and establish reserves for such losses.

The following table sets forth the percentage of accounts receivable, net and contract assets, from our largest customers that exceeded 10% of our total accounts receivable, net and contract assets during the periods included below:

	As of March 31,
	2026	2025	2024
Customer A	*	*	12.4%
Customer G	*	*	15.5%
Former parent	*	11.5%	*
Top five largest customers	30.0%	32.1%	46.5%

* Percentage below 10%

Commodity price risk

We are subject to risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials, such as steel, that are used in our products. Prices of these raw materials may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time, and we do not enter into hedging arrangements to mitigate commodity risk. Significant price changes for these raw materials could reduce our operating margins if we are unable to recover such increases from our customers, and could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, we are subject to risk from fluctuating logistics costs. As a result of disruptions caused by consumer and commercial demand for shipped goods has increased across multiple industries, which in turn has reduced the availability and capacity of shipping containers and available ships worldwide. These disruptions caused, and may in the future cause, increased logistics costs and shipment delays affecting the timing of our project deliveries, the timing of our recognition of revenue and our profitability.

Foreign currency exchange risk

We transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established a foreign currency risk management policy to manage this risk. We intend to manage our foreign currency exposure by evaluating and using non-financial techniques, such as currency of invoice, leading and lagging payments and receivables management.

Based on our overall currency rate exposures as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, including the derivative financial instruments intended to hedge the nonfunctional currency-denominated monetary assets, liabilities and cash flows, and other factors, a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its cross-functional rates would not be expected, in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the near-term.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Nextpower Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nextpower Inc. (formerly Nextracker Inc.) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, redeemable interest and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Contract Estimates, Revenue Recognition– Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes solar tracker system project revenues over time, based on costs incurred to date on the project as a percentage of total expected costs to be incurred. Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2026 includes amounts recorded for projects which are not yet complete and therefore require estimation. Accounting for contracts for which revenue is recognized over time requires management to estimate the total expected costs to be incurred. As part of these estimates, management must make various assumptions regarding the cost and availability of materials including variable freight costs. Certain assumptions, specifically the cost of materials and cost of variable freight, are subject to considerable judgment, and they are sensitive to various assumptions and inputs such as changes in expected costs for materials and freight.

Auditing management’s estimates of total expected costs to be incurred was challenging due to significant judgments made by management with respect to materials and freight as future results may vary significantly from past estimates due to changes in facts and circumstances as the project progresses to completion. This led to significant auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s estimates of the total expected costs to be incurred in order to complete projects.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

We have focused our procedures on the assumptions with higher judgment and which have a material impact to the financials. We have determined such assumptions to include materials and variable freight costs. Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates of total expected costs to be incurred included the following, among others:

•We performed a thorough risk assessment on the assumptions used in the calculation to identify the assumptions that involve higher judgment and have material impact to the financial statements.

•We tested the design and implementation as well as operating effectiveness of management’s control for determining the estimates of total expected costs to be incurred.

•We evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions involved and management’s ability to estimate total expected costs to be incurred for a sample of projects by:

•Testing the underlying data utilized in management’s estimates by agreeing to source data or by developing an independent expectation.

•Performing retrospective reviews by comparing actual performance to previously estimated performance to evaluate the thoroughness and precision of management’s estimation process.

•Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s cumulative revenue adjustments recorded during the year.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1.Description of business and organization of Nextpower Inc.

Nextpower Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Nextpower”, “we”, the “Company”) is a leading global provider of solar and energy technology solutions for utility-scale power plants. Founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Dan Shugar, Nextpower pioneered and remains the global market leader in solar tracking systems. Nextpower now delivers an integrated suite of structural, electrical, and digital solutions across the full lifecycle of solar power plants, from design and construction through operations and maintenance. Nextpower's integrated solutions are designed to streamline project execution, increase energy yield and long-term reliability, and enhance customer return on investment (“ROI”). Nextpower has operations in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Spain and other locations in Europe, India, Australia, the Middle East and Africa. In November 2025, the Company changed its corporate name from Nextracker Inc. to Nextpower Inc.

On February 5, 2025, TPG Inc. (“TPG”) exchanged all its remaining Nextpower LLC (the “LLC”, formerly Nextracker LLC) common units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company has no Class B common stock outstanding.

On January 2, 2024, Flex Ltd. (“Flex” or the “former parent”) closed the spin-off of all its remaining interests in the LLC common units held by Yuma, Inc. (“Yuma”), Yuma Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuma (“Yuma Sub”), to the former parent’s shareholders (the “Spin-off”) and the Company is now operating as a standalone entity.

2.Summary of accounting policies

Variable interest entities (“VIE”) and consolidation

The Company’s sole material asset is its member’s interest in the LLC. In accordance with the LLC Operating Agreement (the "LLC Agreement"), the Company is the managing member of the LLC. As a result, the Company has all management powers over the business and affairs of the LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of the LLC. Prior to January 2, 2024, the Company concluded that the LLC was a VIE. Due to the Company’s power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of the LLC, the Company was considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of the LLC and its subsidiaries. The LLC common units held by Yuma, Yuma Sub, TPG Rise Flash, L.P ("TPG Rise") and the following affiliates of TPG Rise: TPG Rise Climate Flash Cl BDH, L.P., TPG Rise Climate BDH, L.P. and The Rise Fund II BDH, L.P. (collectively, the “TPG Affiliates”) were presented on the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity under the caption “Redeemable non-controlling interests,” up until January 2, 2024 as redemption was outside of the control of the Company. Post January 2, 2024, redemption is no longer outside the control of the Company subsequent to the Spin-off and, therefore, the non-controlling interests owned by the TPG Affiliates were presented on the consolidated balance sheets as permanent equity under the caption “non-controlling interests.” As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the non-controlling interests previously presented on the consolidated balance sheets are no longer presented since TPG exchanged all its remaining the LLC common units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company. The exchange of all of TPG’s remaining the LLC common units results in the Company owning 100% of the LLC through its wholly owned subsidiaries. It also triggered a reconsideration event and the Company reevaluated if the LLC still met the definition of a VIE. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company determined that the LLC no longer meets the definition of a VIE as the Company’s voting rights in the LLC are no longer disproportionate with its equity interests.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present the Company’s financial statements fairly have been included. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Nextpower have been eliminated.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company completed a series of reorganization transactions to simplify its U.S. legal entity structure. Through a series of transaction steps, the LLC was terminated as a partnership as of March 31, 2026, and subsequently, the Company's Up-C structure no longer exists as of that date.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, $7.5 million of payments for certain intangibles previously presented within payment for acquisition, net of cash acquired in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025, were reclassified to other investing activities. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net cash used in investing activity, nor on the total net cash flows, for any periods presented.

The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31. The fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024 are also referred to herein as fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Translation of foreign currencies

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is primarily the USD. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized net foreign currency exchange losses of $7.1 million, $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, during fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, due to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations in certain currencies.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, provision for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves, contingencies, operation-related accruals, fair values of awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the U.S.-Iran war), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for business acquisitions

From time to time, the Company pursues business acquisitions. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. The Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets, contingent earnout, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill.

The Company estimates the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further review from management and may change between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Equity method investment

The Company accounts for investments in entities over which it has significant influence, but no controlling financial interest, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recorded at cost, within other assets, on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company participates in a joint venture based in Saudi Arabia that is accounted for under the equity method.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The Company re-evaluates the classification of its equity method investment at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. Equity method investments are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.

Derivative instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is initially recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and then recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective and excluded portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings immediately. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized immediately in current earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. In applying ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of solar tracker systems, parts, extended warranties on solar tracker systems components and energy yield management systems along with associated maintenance and support. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) Nextpower satisfies a performance obligation. In assessing the recognition of revenue, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. Further, the Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time or over time.

The Company’s contracts for specific solar tracker system projects with customers are predominantly accounted for as one performance obligation because the customer is purchasing an integrated service, which includes Nextpower’s overall management of the solar tracker system project and oversight through the installation process to ensure a functioning system is commissioned at the customer’s location. The Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs under the contract, which is principally as tracker system components are delivered to the designated project site. Although the Company sources the component parts from third party manufacturers, it obtains control and receives title of such parts before transferring them to the customer because Nextpower is primarily responsible for fulfillment to its customer. The Company’s engineering services and professional services are interdependent with the component parts whereby the parts form an input into a combined output for which it is the principal, and Nextpower could redirect the parts before they are transferred to the customer if needed. The customer owns the work-in-process over the course of the project and Nextpower’s performance enhances a customer-controlled asset, resulting in the recognition of the performance obligation over time. The measure of progress is estimated using an input method based on costs incurred to date on the project as a percentage of total expected costs to be incurred. The costs of materials and hardware components are recognized as control is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon delivery to the customer site. As such, the cost-based input measure is considered the best measure of progress in depicting the Company’s performance in completing a tracker system.

Contracts with customers that result in multiple performance obligations include contracts for the sale of components and solar tracker system project contracts with an extended warranty and/or which include the sale of energy yield management systems.

For contracts related to sale of components, Nextpower’s obligation to the customer is to deliver components that are used by the customer to create a tracker system and does not include engineering or other professional services or the obligation to provide such services in the future. Each component is a distinct performance obligation, and often the components are delivered in batches at different points in time. Nextpower estimates the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

obligation based on a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to a component is recognized at the point in time that control of the component transfers to the customer.

At times, a customer will purchase a service-type warranty with a tracker system project. Nextpower uses a cost plus margin methodology to determine the SSP for both the tracker system project and the extended warranty. The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized over time based on the period over which control transfers. The Company recognizes revenue allocated to the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the contractual service period, which is generally 10 to 15 years. This period starts once the standard workmanship warranty expires, which is generally 2 to 10 years from the date control of the underlying tracker system components is transferred to the customer. To date, revenues recognized related to extended warranty were not material.

Nextpower generates revenues from sales of its TrueCapture and NX Navigator offerings, which are often sold separately from the tracker system. These systems are generally sold with maintenance services, which include ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes and support. The energy yield management and the maintenance services are separate performance obligations. Nextpower estimates the SSP of the energy yield management solution using an adjusted market approach and estimates the SSP of the maintenance service using a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to the energy yield management is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the energy yield management solution, and revenue allocated to the maintenance service is generally recognized over time on a straight-line basis during the maintenance term. Revenues related to sales of energy yield management were approximately 2% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and not material for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Bill-and-hold arrangements

Nextpower recognizes revenue associated with its federal investment tax credit (“ITC”) contracts at a point in time when obligations under the terms of the contract with the customer are satisfied. This generally occurs when title, risk, custody and control have transferred to the customer in line with shipping terms.

In certain situations, the Company recognizes revenue under a bill-and-hold arrangement with its customers. For example, certain customers engage the Company to start a solar project and invest at least 5% of the total project costs, in order to meet the Safe Harbor threshold and qualify for the ITC, before it phases out. As part of the agreement, the components purchased by the customer are stored in a warehouse and segregated from any other inventory type.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $144.4 million from certain customers under a bill-and-hold arrangement. No revenue was recognized under a bill-and-hold arrangement during fiscal years 2025 and 2024.

Contract estimates

Accounting for contracts for which revenue is recognized over time requires Nextpower to estimate the expected margin that will be earned on the project. These estimates include assumptions on the cost and availability of materials including variable freight costs. Nextpower reviews and updates its contract-related estimates each reporting period and recognizes changes in estimates on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, Nextpower recognizes the total loss in the period it is identified.

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the consolidated balance sheets. Nextpower’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. When billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, a contract asset results. Contract assets of $533.3 million and $405.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, of which $133.9 million and $140.4 million, respectively, will be invoiced at the end of the projects as they represent funds withheld until the products are installed by a third party, arranged by the customer, and the project is declared operational. The remaining unbilled receivables will be invoiced throughout the project based on a set billing schedule such as milestones reached or completed rows delivered.

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Nextpower converted $237.0 million and $203.3 million of deferred revenue to revenue, respectively, which represented 69% of the beginning period balance of deferred revenue.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Remaining performance obligations

As of March 31, 2026, Nextpower had $410.0 million of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 75% of these performance obligations in the next 12 months. The remaining long-term unperformed obligation primarily relates to extended warranty and deposits collected in advance on certain tracker projects.

Practical expedients and exemptions

Nextpower has elected to adopt certain practical expedients and exemptions as allowed under ASC 606, such as (i) recording sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year, (ii) not adjusting for the effects of significant financing components when the contract term is less than one year, (iii) excluding collected sales tax amounts from the calculation of revenue and (iv) accounting for the costs of shipping and handling activities that are incurred after the customer obtains control of the product as fulfillment costs rather than a separate service provided to the customer for which consideration would need to be allocated.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) 45X Vendor Rebates and Assignments

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted into law, which includes a new corporate minimum tax, a stock repurchase excise tax, numerous green energy credits, other tax provisions and significantly increased enforcement resources. Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) of 1986, as amended, Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (“45X Credit”), which was established as part of the IRA, is a per-unit tax credit earned over time for each clean energy component domestically produced and sold by a manufacturer. The Company has executed agreements with certain suppliers to grow its U.S. manufacturing footprint. These suppliers produce 45X Credit-eligible parts, including torque tubes and structural fasteners, that will then be incorporated into a solar tracker. The 45X Credit was eligible for domestic parts manufactured after January 1, 2023. The Company has contractually agreed with these suppliers to either share a portion of the economic value of the credit related to Nextpower’s purchases, or assign their credit directly to the Company (“an assignment”) pursuant to Section 6418 of the IRC. The Company accounts for these 45X Credits shared and assigned to the Company as a reduction of the purchase price of the parts acquired from the vendor and therefore a reduction of inventory until the control of the part is transferred to the customer, at which point the Company recognizes such amounts as a reduction of cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (refer to Note 13). 45X Credits assigned to Nextpower are also treated as a reduction to the Company’s federal tax payable as further discussed in Note 12.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company determined the amount and collectability of the 45X Credit vendor rebates it expected to receive in accordance with the vendor contracts and recognized a cumulative reduction to cost of sales of $121.4 million related to 45X Credit vendor rebates earned on production of eligible components shipped to projects starting on January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized approximately $379.9 million and $224.9 million, respectively, of reduction to cost of sales related to the 45X Credit earned on production of eligible components shipped.

Fair value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets) such as cash and cash equivalents and money market funds; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Level 3 - Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair values of Nextpower’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, derivative instruments, and cash and cash equivalents.

Customer credit risk

Nextpower has an established customer credit policy, through which it manages customer credit exposures through credit evaluations, credit limit setting, monitoring and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. Nextpower performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for credit losses based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. Nextpower evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent Nextpower identifies exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, Nextpower also reviews other customer related exposures, including but not limited to contract assets, inventory and related contractual obligations.

The following table summarizes the activity in Nextpower’s allowance for credit losses during fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024:

	Balance at<br>beginning<br>of year		Charges/<br>(recoveries) to <br>costs and <br>expenses (1)		Deductions/<br>Write-Offs		Balance at<br>end of<br>year

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Accounts receivable, net

Nextpower’s accounts receivable are due primarily from solar contractors across the United States and internationally. Credit is extended in the normal course of business based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts receivable and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for credit losses. In evaluating the level of the allowance for credit losses, Nextpower makes judgments regarding the customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial conditions of Nextpower’s customers change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be required. When deemed uncollectible, the receivable is charged against the allowance.

Product warranty

Nextpower offers an assurance type warranty for its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period ranging from two to ten years, depending on the component. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, which is typically when products are delivered. The estimated warranty liability is based on the Company’s warranty model which relies on historical warranty claim information and assumptions based on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims for each product line by project. When little or no experience exists, the estimate is based on comparable product lines and/or estimated potential failure rates. These estimates are based on data from Nextpower specific projects. Estimates related to the outstanding warranty liability are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis using best-available information and revisions are made as necessary.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the estimated accrued warranty reserve for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

	As of March 31,
	2026		2025
	(In thousands)
Beginning balance	$	17,981	$	12,511
Provision for warranties issued	20,325		11,613
Payments	(5,461)		(6,143)
Ending balance	$	32,845	$	17,981

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Nextpower’s inventory primarily consists of finished goods to be used and to be sold to customers, including components procured to complete the tracker system projects.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, or acquisition-date fair value for property and equipment acquired in business combinations, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, with the exception of building leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the term of the lease, if shorter. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is comprised of the following:

NEXTPOWER

Total depreciation expense associated with property and equipment was approximately $18.6 million, $7.9 million, and $4.1 million in fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Nextpower reviews property and equipment for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is determined by comparing the carrying amount to the lowest level of identifiable projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of property and equipment exceeds the fair value. Management determined there was no impairment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024.

Deferred income taxes

Nextpower accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. Nextpower recognizes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Nextpower accounts for uncertain income tax positions by recognizing the impact of a tax position in its consolidated financial statements when Nextpower believes it is more likely than not that the tax position would not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position.

Income taxes

The Company operates in numerous states and countries and must allocate its income, expenses, and earnings under the various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company’s provision for income taxes represents its total estimate of the liability for income taxes that the Company has incurred in doing business each year in the jurisdictions in which Nextpower operates. Annually, the Company files tax returns that represent its filing positions with each jurisdiction and settles its tax return liabilities. Each jurisdiction has the right to audit those tax returns and may take different positions with respect to income and expense allocations and taxable earnings determinations. Because the determination of the Company’s annual income tax provision is subject to judgments and estimates, actual results may vary from those recorded in its financial statements. The Company recognizes additions to and reductions in income tax expense during a reporting period that pertains to prior period provisions as its estimated liabilities are revised and its actual tax returns and tax audits are completed.

Goodwill and other intangibles assets

In accordance with accounting standards related to business combinations, goodwill is not amortized; however, certain finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and acquired developed technology, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Nextpower reviews identified intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Nextpower also tests goodwill at

least annually for impairment at the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter. Nextpower's Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about goodwill and other intangible assets.

Other current assets

Other current assets include short-term deposits and advances of $51.3 million and $50.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily related to advance payments to certain vendors for procurement of inventory.

Other assets

Other assets include right-of-use assets of $50.9 million and $32.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily related to land, building and furniture and fixtures.

Nextpower Arabia, the Company's joint venture with Abdullah Abunayyan Investment Holding ("Abunayyan"), became operational in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The new joint venture, headquartered in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will provide tracker system equipment for utility-scale solar power plants across the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") region. The shareholders of Nextpower Arabia include Nextracker Spain S.L., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the LLC, and Abunayyan. As part of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company transferred ownership of two Saudi Arabia subsidiaries to Nextpower Arabia. The joint venture shareholders have an equal number of board seats, with the chair position appointed by Abunayyan, which also nominates the chief executive officer. Abunayyan will maintain 51% common stock ownership interest and decisions over the activities of the joint venture are made by its board through a simple majority vote, other than a defined list of reserved matters which require higher approval thresholds. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's investment in the Nextpower Arabia joint venture totaled $5.7 million, which is classified within other assets on its consolidated balance sheets. Nextpower’s equity in loss of the joint venture for fiscal year 2026 was immaterial and is included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Accrued expenses

Accrued expenses include accruals primarily for freight and tariffs of $58.2 million and $42.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, accrued expenses also includes $71.9 million and $54.1 million of accrued payroll as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement and liability

The Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") liability related to the amount expected to be paid to the former parent, TPG and the TPG Affiliates pursuant to the TRA (see Note 12) was $393.2 million and $419.4 million, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, of which $372.7 million and $394.9 million, respectively, were included in TRA liabilities and $20.5 million and 24.5 million, respectively, were included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, representing 85% of the estimated future tax benefits subject to the TRA. Any U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company realizes or is deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes, will be available to the Company as a result of certain transactions contemplated in connection with Nextpower’s initial public offering ("IPO"), exchanges of Class A common stock and payments made under the TRA. The actual amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including, among others, the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of its payments under the TRA constituting imputed interest. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, the Company considers its historical results as well as assumptions related to future forecasts for its various businesses by location. The impact of any changes in the total projected obligations recorded under the TRA as a result of actual changes in the geographic mix of the Company’s earnings, changes in tax legislation and tax rates or other factors that may impact its actual tax savings realized will be reflected in income before taxes in the period in which the change occurs. During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, payments of $27.4 million and $15.5 million were made to the former parent, TPG and the TPG Affiliates, which are presented as a financing activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Other liabilities primarily consist of long-term lease liabilities, as disclosed in the "Leases" section below, contingent earnouts for the Company’s acquisitions of $38.6 million and $2.6 million, and the long-term portion of standard product warranty liabilities of $8.0 million and $6.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 14 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail on the earnouts for the Company’s business acquisitions.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company records stock-based compensation costs related to its incentive awards. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation cost for time-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period. Compensation cost for performance-based awards with a performance condition is reassessed each period and recognized based upon the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. The performance-based awards with a performance condition are expensed when the achievement of performance conditions are probable. The total expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those awards that ultimately vest and forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.

Leases

Nextpower is a lessee with several non-cancellable operating leases, primarily for warehouses, buildings, and other assets such as vehicles and equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A contract is a lease or contains a lease when (i) there is an identified asset, and (ii) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for Nextpower’s operating leases. For operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption for all classes of assets, which allows Nextpower to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and with no purchase option Nextpower is reasonably certain of exercising. Nextpower has also elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed considerations in the contract. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) and variable payments that depend on an index or rate (initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date). As Nextpower cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease for its leases, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The lease term for all of Nextpower’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that Nextpower is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, current operating lease liabilities were $11.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and long-term lease liabilities were $41.0 million and $25.6 million, respectively, which are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 for additional information about Leases.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, and in certain circumstances, such as when there is a change in reporting units or whenever there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment on January 1 of each fiscal year, and assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely or not that the fair value of its reporting units is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment required management to make various judgmental assumptions including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, financial performances, and change in stock price. Management assessed each factor and evaluated whether the evidence, in aggregate, would indicate that it is more likely than not that the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As a result of the qualitative assessment of its goodwill, the Company determined that no impairment existed as of the dates of the impairment tests because the fair value of its reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.

Other intangible assets

Nextpower amortizes identifiable intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names because these assets have finite lives. Nextpower’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. The basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized over their estimated useful lives. No residual value is estimated for any intangible assets.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value of Nextpower’s intangible assets is determined based on management’s estimates of cash flows and recoverability. Nextpower reviewed the carrying value of its intangible assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and concluded that such amounts continued to be recoverable.

6.The Transactions

The Company and the LLC completed the following reorganization and other transactions in connection with the IPO (collectively, referred to as the “Transactions”):

•Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company issued 128,794,522 shares of its Class B common stock to Yuma, Yuma Sub, and TPG Rise (not inclusive of those held by affiliated blocker corporations – see below) immediately following the Transactions and before giving effect to the IPO.

•Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO and as permitted under and in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the LLC in effect prior to the IPO (the “Prior LLC Agreement”), TPG Rise exercised its right to have certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG Rise each merge with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with the blocker corporations surviving each such merger, in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction. In connection with such blocker corporations’ mergers, the investors in each such blocker corporation received a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with a value based on the Series A Preferred Units held by such blocker corporation for a total of 15,279,190 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

•Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the LLC made a distribution in an aggregate amount of $175.0 million (the “LLC Distribution”). With respect to such LLC Distribution, $21.7 million was distributed to TPG Rise and $153.3 million to Yuma and Yuma Sub in accordance with their pro rata units of the LLC. The LLC Distribution was financed, in part, with net proceeds from the $150.0 million term loan under the senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks (as amended from time to time, the "Prior Credit Agreement"), as further discussed in Note 9.

•The Company used all the net proceeds from the IPO ($693.8 million) to purchase 30,590,000 the LLC common units from Yuma at a price per unit equal to $22.68.

•In connection with Yuma’s transfer to the Company of 30,590,000 the LLC common units, a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by Yuma were canceled.

•In connection with the IPO, the Company's repurchased all 100 shares of common stock previously issued to Yuma for an immaterial amount.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

On February 8, 2023, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, authorize 900,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class A common stock, 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class B common stock, and 50,000,000 shares of par value $0.0001 preferred stock.

On February 13, 2023, the members of the LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the LLC (the "LLC Agreement") to, among other things, effect the Transactions described above and to appoint the Company as the managing member of the LLC. As of March 31, 2024, the Company beneficially owned 140,773,223 the LLC common units after the completion of the IPO, the Transactions, the follow-on offering and the Spin Transactions described below.

The 2023 follow-on offering

On July 3, 2023, Nextpower completed an underwritten offering of 18,150,000 shares of Class A common stock, of which 15,631,562 shares were offered and sold by the Company and 2,518,438 shares were offered and sold by certain of the Company’s stockholders for approximately $662.5 million in total gross proceeds, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock. The Company received net proceeds of $552.0 million. The entire net proceeds from the sale of shares by Nextpower were used by Nextpower to acquire 14,025,000 the LLC common units from Yuma, and 1,606,562 the LLC common units from TPG Rise. Simultaneously, 14,025,000 and 1,606,562 shares of Class B common stock were surrendered by Flex and TPG, respectively, and cancelled.

As a result of this follow-on offering (referred to as the “Follow-on”), as of the closing date on July 3, 2023:

•Approximately $1.8 million of offering costs were paid by Flex.

•Immediately following the completion of the Follow-on, Flex (through Yuma and Yuma Sub), owned 74,432,619 shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately 51.45% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's outstanding common stock.

•Additionally, TPG owned 8,140,341 shares of Class B common stock representing approximately 5.63% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's outstanding common stock.

•The Company beneficially owned 62,053,870 the LLC units, representing approximately 42.91% of the total common units of the LLC.

Exchange Agreement

The Company, the LLC, Yuma, Yuma Sub and TPG entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) under which Yuma, Yuma Sub and TPG (or certain permitted transferees thereof) have the right, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, to require the LLC to exchange the LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of the Company on a basis, or, in the alternative, the Company may elect to exchange such LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Nextpower Class B common stock) for cash equal to the product of (i) the number of the LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) being exchanged, (ii) the then-applicable exchange rate under the Exchange Agreement (which will initially be one and is subject to adjustment) and (iii) the Class A common stock value (based on the market price of Nextpower's Class A common stock), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and other similar transactions; provided further, that in the event of an exchange request by an exchanging holder, Nextpower may at its option effect a direct exchange of shares of Class A common stock for the LLC common units and shares of Class B common stock in lieu of such exchange or make a cash payment to such exchanging holder, in each case pursuant to the same economic terms applicable to an exchange between the exchanging holder and the LLC. As the LLC interests are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Company, such interests are presented in temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Separation Transactions

On October 25, 2023, Flex announced its plan to effect a spin-off of all of its remaining interests in Nextpower pursuant to the Merger Agreement to be effected through the following transactions (together, the “Spin Transactions”): (i) a court-approved capital reduction of Flex to be carried out pursuant to Section 78G of the Singapore Companies Act (the “Capital Reduction”), (ii) a distribution of all the shares of the common stock, par value $0.001, of Yuma (the “Yuma Common Stock”), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex that, directly or indirectly, held all of Flex’s remaining interest in Nextpower, by way of a distribution in specie to Flex shareholders (the “Spin Distribution”), (iii) the merger of Yuma with and into Yuma Acquisition

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Corp., with Yuma surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextpower (the “Merger”) and pursuant to which each share of Yuma Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger would automatically convert into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (with cash payments to holders of shares of Yuma Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Nextpower's Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), and (iv) the merger of Yuma with and into a wholly-owned limited liability company subsidiary of Nextpower, with such limited liability company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextpower, undertaken shortly following the completion of the Merger.

On January 2, 2024, Flex completed the spin-off of all of its remaining interests in Nextpower to Flex shareholders. Immediately prior to the spin-off, Flex held 100% of the shares of Yuma Common Stock, and Yuma held, directly and indirectly through Yuma Sub, (i) 74,432,619 shares of Nextpower’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, representing approximately 51.48% of the total outstanding shares of Nextpower’s common stock, based on the number of shares of Nextpower’s common stock outstanding as of December 29, 2023 and (ii) 74,432,619 of the common units of the LLC, representing approximately 51.48% of the economic interest in the business of Nextpower.

In addition to the Spin Distribution, Flex and Nextpower consummated the Merger, with Yuma surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextpower. As a result of the Merger, each share of Yuma Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company, based on an Exchange Ratio (as defined below), with cash payments to holders of shares of Yuma Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Class A common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The “Exchange Ratio” is equal to the quotient of (i) 74,432,619, which is the number of shares of Class A common stock of Nextpower held by Yuma and Yuma Sub (assuming the exchange by Yuma and Yuma Sub of all the LLC common units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company held by Yuma and Yuma Sub, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company) divided by (ii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Yuma Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

As the Merger represents a business combination of entities under common control, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Related Issues. Upon consummation of the Merger, the assets and liabilities of Yuma, particularly the redeemable interest in Nextpower, were recognized at their carrying value on the date of transfer as a transaction under common control. Once acquired, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was derecognized at its carrying amount. In addition, the Company recognized the issuance of its Class A common stock as consideration of the acquisition of Yuma, with the difference between the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest acquired and the par value of the Class A common stock recorded in additional paid-in capital.

On February 5, 2025, TPG exchanged all its remaining the LLC common units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company, for shares of Class A common stock of the Company.

Up-C restructuring

As of March 31, 2026, the Company completed a series of reorganization transactions to simplify its U.S. legal entity structure. Through a series of transaction steps, the LLC was terminated as partnership as of March 31, 2026, and subsequently, the Company's Up-C structure no longer exists as of that date.

Tax distributions

During fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, and pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the LLC made a pro rata tax distributions cash payment to its former non-controlling interest holders in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 million, $6.1 million and $66.9 million, respectively.

7.Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower LLC Equity Incentive Plan in April 2022 (the “LLC Plan”), which provides for the issuance of options, unit appreciation rights, performance units, performance incentive units, restricted incentive units and other unit-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Additionally, in connection with the Company's IPO in February 2023, the Company approved the Second Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (together with the LLC Plan, the “2022 Plan”) to reflect, among other things, that the underlying equity interests with respect to awards issued under the LLC Plan shall, in lieu of common units of the LLC, relate to Class A common stock of Nextpower for periods from and after the closing of the IPO.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The 2022 Plan is administered by the Board or such other committee appointed by the Board. Awards granted under the 2022 Plan expire no more than 10 years from the grant date. The 2022 Plan authorized the grant of 24.0 million equity-based awards. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately 11.5 million equity-based awards available for grant under the 2022 Plan.

During fiscal year 2026, the Company granted the following three types of equity-based compensation awards to its employees under the 2022 Plan:

•Restricted incentive unit awards ("RSU"), whereby vesting is generally contingent upon time-based vesting with continued service up to a four-year period from the grant date, with a portion of the awards vesting at the end of each year.

•Options awards, whereby such awards will cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject generally to continuous service through vesting date; and

•Performance based vesting awards ("PSUs") whereby vesting is generally contingent upon (i) time-based vesting with continued service through March 31, 2028, and (ii) the achievement of certain metrics specific to the Company, which could result in a range of 0 - 300% of such PSUs ultimately vesting. The earned PSUs will cliff-vest on March 31, 2028.

The service period of RSU, options and PSU awards granted in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 is three years.

On the date any performance-based vesting requirement is satisfied, the award holder will become vested in the number of awards that have satisfied the time-based vesting requirement, if any.

During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized net incremental stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for certain PSU awards for which the performance conditions were achieved. Such expenses are included in the amounts above.

As of March 31, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards under the 2022 Plan and the related weighted average remaining period is summarized as follow:

	Unrecognized compensation expense<br><br>(in thousands)		Weighted average remaining period<br><br>(in years)
Options	$	8,264	1.6
RSU	121,502		2.2
PSU	52,367		1.8
Total unrecognized compensation expense	$	182,133

Determining fair value — RSU awards

Valuation and Amortization Method - The Company determined the fair value of RSUs granted in fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024 under the 2022 Plan based on the closing price per share of its Class A common stock as of the grant date of the awards. The compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Determining fair value — Options and PSU awards

Valuation - The Company estimated the fair value of Options awards granted in fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024 under the 2022 Plan, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair values of PSU awards granted in fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, under the 2022 Plan, were estimated using Monte-Carlo simulation models, which is a probabilistic approach for calculating the fair value of the awards.

Expected volatility - Volatility used in the Black-Scholes option pricing, or in the Monte Carlo simulation, is derived from the historical volatility of Nextpower’s Peer Group.

Risk-Free Rate assumptions - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Monte Carlo simulation based on the continuously compounded risk-free rate in the Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the drift rate of the Company and peer group stock prices. The risk-free rate of return was calculated using the U.S. Treasury daily yield curve.

The fair value of the Company’s awards granted under the 2022 Plan was estimated based on the following assumptions:

	Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2026	2025	2024
Expected volatility	55.0%	52% - 60%	65.0%
Expected dividends	—%	—%	—%

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2026, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The share repurchase program has a term of three years and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with our working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors.

During fiscal year 2026, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired an immaterial number of shares of its Class A common stock for an aggregate amount, including commissions, of $0.4 million under the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $499.6 million of the originally authorized amount under the share repurchase program remained available for future repurchases.

8.Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to Nextpower Inc. common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the applicable periods.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from stock-based compensation awards. The potential dilution from awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average fair market value of the Company’s common stock for the period. Additionally, the potential dilution impact of Class B common stock convertible into Class A common stock was also considered in the calculation.

9.Credit facilities and other financing arrangements

Credit facilities

On September 8, 2025, the Company and the LLC, as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), which replaced the prior credit agreement originally entered into by the Company on February 13, 2023 (as amended from time to time, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on September 8, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). The initial maximum aggregate principal amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility is $1.0 billion. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the LLC may request an increase in the aggregate amount available under the New Revolving Credit Facility of up to $250.0 million at any time. The New Revolving Credit Facility provides for sub-facilities for the issuances of letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million and swingline loans not to exceed $150.0 million in the aggregate.

The LLC may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the New Credit Agreement from time to time until the Maturity Date. Voluntary prepayments under the New Credit Agreement are permitted from time to time generally without premium or penalty. The New Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and the LLC. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of either (i) the Term SOFR rate, (ii) the Daily Simple SOFR rate, (iii) the Term RFR rate, (iv) the Daily Simple RFR rate, or (v) the Eurocurrency Rate, plus the Applicable Margin, each as defined and described in the New Credit Agreement with respect to the applicable type of borrowing.

The LLC is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility commitments, ranging from 7.5 to 20 basis points, depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating. Additionally, the LLC is required to pay a quarterly letters of credit fee on the utilized portion, ranging from 87.5 to 150 basis points, also depending on the LLC’s consolidated net leverage ratio and credit rating.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limits the ability of the Company, LLC and its subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness or liens and requires the Company and LLC to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio below a certain threshold.

As a result of the New Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized approximately $2.0 million of issuance costs related to the New Revolving Credit Facility, which were included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $922.1 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of 77.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Concurrently with the closing of the New Credit Agreement, the Company voluntarily terminated the Prior Credit Agreement, and all revolving commitments and all revolving loans under the Prior Credit Agreement, including all accrued interest or fees, have been paid and terminated in full as of September 8, 2025. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, of which no amounts were drawn as of termination. In conjunction with the termination, the Company wrote off all unamortized issuance costs related to the Prior Credit Agreement as of September 8, 2025 and as a result recorded a total loss of approximately $5.8 million, including debt extinguishment costs and transaction costs, in other income, net on its consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The Company incurred no termination penalties in connection with the early termination of the Prior Credit Agreement.

Supplier finance programs

The Company participates in various supplier finance programs administered by a third-party financial institution. Under such programs, certain suppliers may, at their sole discretion, elect to sell one or more of their receivables from the Company to a

financial institution. The Company’s payment obligations to the financial institution are not accelerated and remain subject to the original contractual terms agreed with the supplier. The Company does not provide guarantees or collateral in connection with these arrangements. Amounts payable under the programs are included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets and payments made under the programs are reported as operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company’s outstanding amount payable confirmed as valid under its supplier finance programs for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 was $213.3 million.

11.Commitments and contingencies

Litigation and other legal matters

Nextpower has accrued for a loss contingency to the extent it believes that losses are probable and estimable. The amounts accrued are not material, but it is reasonably possible that actual losses could be in excess of Nextpower’s accrual. Any related excess loss could have a material adverse effect on Nextpower’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on Nextpower’s financial condition.

On February 6, 2024, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the LLC made pro rata tax distributions in an aggregate amount of $94.3 million to the common members of the LLC, including an aggregate of $48.5 million to Yuma Acquisition Sub LLC and Yuma Sub. As of the date of the tax distribution, Yuma Acquisition Sub LLC and Yuma Sub were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nextpower Inc. On February 21, 2025, Flex and Flextronics International USA, Inc. (collectively “Flex Plaintiffs”) filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, alleging that Flex Plaintiffs are entitled to the distribution that was paid to Yuma Acquisition Sub LLC and Yuma Sub on February 6, 2024 under the terms of the contracts governing the Spin-off. The complaint asserts claims against Nextpower, the LLC, Yuma Acquisition Sub LLC and Yuma Sub (collectively “Defendants”) for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, mistake and unjust enrichment. On January 21, 2026, the court issued a memorandum opinion granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. On February 16, 2026, Flex Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Delaware Supreme Court. Briefing on appeal will be completed by May 19, 2026.

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Based on the current procedural posture of this matter, including the court’s memorandum opinion granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss and the subsequent appeal, Nextpower is unable to reasonably estimate a loss, if any, arising from this matter.

On December 27, 2024, a class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws was filed by a purported stockholder in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, naming as defendants Nextpower and certain of the Nextpower officers, alleging that defendants made false and misleading statements about our business, financial results and prospects. The plaintiffs sought unspecified monetary damages and other relief on behalf of the purported class. On March 9, 2026, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint while allowing plaintiffs leave to amend. On April 6, 2026, plaintiffs served notice that they would not file an amended complaint. On April 13, 2026, the court dismissed the action with prejudice and entered judgment in favor of Nextpower and all other defendants. Plaintiffs had until May 13, 2026 to file an appeal. Plaintiffs did not appeal the judgment and the judgment is therefore final.

On January 23, 2025 and March 18, 2025, purported stockholders of Nextpower filed stockholder derivative actions against the Nextpower directors and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California based on factual allegations similar to those underlying the securities class action described above. The derivative actions assert claims on behalf of Nextpower for, among other things, violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duties, and seek damages and restitution to be paid to Nextpower by the individual defendants, governance changes and attorney’s fees and costs. The derivative cases were stayed pending resolution of the securities class action. On May 14, 2026, following the final judgment in favor of all defendants in the related securities class action, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the court dismiss the derivative cases without prejudice, which the court granted on May 15, 2026.

Antidumping and Countervailing Duties

Under an August 2023 “circumvention” determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”), crystalline solar photovoltaic (“CSPV”) cells and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam using wafers and other key components made in China and entered into the United States on or after April 1, 2022 are subject to antidumping duty and countervailing duty (“AD/CVD”) orders on CSPV cells and modules from China that have been in place since 2012 (“Solar Circumvention Determination”). AD/CVD cash deposit rates for CSPV modules covered by the China AD/CVD orders vary significantly depending on the producer and exporter of the modules and may amount to over 250% of the entered value of the imported merchandise.

In September 2022, in response to Presidential Proclamation 10414, Commerce published a final rule that exempted CSPV modules subject to the Solar Circumvention Determination from AD/CVD cash deposits and duties if the CSPV modules entered the United States before June 6, 2024 and were utilized by December 3, 2024, and if the importer of the modules complied with certain certification requirements (the “Solar Duty Waiver Regulation”). Commerce also implemented a separate certification mechanism for importers to demonstrate that imported CSPV modules are not subject to the Solar Circumvention Determination as a result of falling outside of the scope of the determination. CSPV modules imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and not demonstrated via certifications to be either covered by the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation or outside the scope of the Solar Circumvention Determination are subject to AD/CVD cash deposits and possible final AD/CVD duty liability at varying rates depending on the producer and exporter of the modules.

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) issued a decision declaring the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation unlawful and ordering the U.S. government to impose AD/CVD duties on merchandise that had benefitted from the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation. The CIT’s decision has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”), and the CIT’s judgment has been stayed during the pendency of that appeal.

Since April 2022, Nextpower has imported proprietary CSPV smart modules from Malaysia and Thailand that provide off-grid power to our controllers located either on each tracker row or on weather stations at the project site. Nextpower submitted certifications for the modules to either utilize the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation or to demonstrate that the modules do not fall within the scope of the Solar Circumvention Determination, but Nextpower did not strictly follow all of the certification procedures for a number of these entries. If the Federal Circuit upholds the CIT’s decision in the litigation challenging the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation or Nextpower’s certifications are found to be invalid, Nextpower could be required to pay AD/CVD amounts with respect to the applicable entries of the modules.

In December 2024, in connection with the August 2023 Solar Circumvention Determination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) instructed Nextpower to pay AD/CVD cash deposits totaling approximately $1 million, relating to a small number of our imports of CSPV modules from Malaysia and Thailand that entered the United States prior to June 6, 2024. CBP

NEXTPOWER

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

required the cash deposit payment based on the agency’s perception that certifications accompanying the imports were deficient. If CBP were to instruct us to make AD/CVD cash deposit payments relating to other past imports of our proprietary CSPV modules based on the Solar Circumvention Determination, such additional cash deposits could be substantially higher and may not be ultimately refunded to us.

To mitigate the AD/CVD duty risk, Nextpower has submitted a prior disclosure to CBP informing CBP of the potential procedural deficiencies with respect to the certifications submitted by Nextpower. Even if the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation is ultimately upheld on appeal, CBP may reject Nextpower’s certifications and attempt to subject Nextpower’s entries to the Solar Circumvention Determination and the AD/CVD orders on CSPV cells and modules from China.

To further mitigate the risk of possible invalidation of the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation and/or the potential procedural certification deficiencies, Nextpower filed a request for a changed circumstances review with Commerce, seeking an exclusion for its off-grid smart CSPV modules from the AD/CVD orders on CSPV cells and modules from China, retroactive to January 1, 2022, which is before the effective date of the Solar Circumvention Determination. In December 2025, Commerce issued the final results of the changed circumstances review and granted an exclusion for Nextpower’s off-grid smart CSPV modules for purposes of the CVD order on CSPV cells and modules from China, retroactive to January 1, 2022, and also for purposes of the AD order on CSPV cells and modules from China, retroactive to December 1, 2022.

Prior to the issuance of Commerce’s final results in the changed circumstances review, Nextpower estimated the potential AD/CVD duty liability with respect to the entries at risk because of the possible invalidation of the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation and/or the potential procedural certification deficiencies to be as high as approximately $120 million, plus compounded interest which could be significant, depending upon the specific scenarios. Following Commerce’s final grant of the retroactive exclusion, the potential AD/CVD duty liability, if any, with respect to such at risk entries has been substantially reduced but remains unknown. The outcome of the litigation challenging the Solar Duty Waiver Regulation and CBP’s treatment of Nextpower’s certifications remain unclear.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, no material change to the valuation allowance account of $1.3 million has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has provided for earnings in foreign subsidiaries that are not considered to be indefinitely reinvested and therefore subject to withholding taxes on $124.3 million of undistributed foreign earnings, recording a deferred tax liability of approximately $8.9 million thereon.

Nextpower and its subsidiaries file federal, state, and local income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions around the world. With few exceptions, Nextpower is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within the Company’s tax expense. The Company had immaterial accrued interest and penalties as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. To the extent taxes are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, substantially all amounts accrued (including interest and penalties) will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company has entered into 45X Credit transfer and assignment agreements with certain suppliers which resulted in an offset of the Company’s federal tax payable by $130.1 million and $63.8 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On February 13, 2023, Nextpower Inc. entered into the TRA with the LLC, Yuma, Yuma Sub, TPG Rise and the TPG Affiliates. The TRA provides for the payment by Nextpower Inc. to Yuma, Yuma Sub, TPG and the TPG Affiliates (or certain permitted transferees thereof) of 85% of the tax benefits, if any, that Nextpower Inc. is deemed to realize under certain circumstances as a result of (i) its allocable share of existing tax basis in tangible and intangible assets resulting from exchanges or acquisitions of outstanding Series A Preferred Units or common units of the LLC (collectively, the “LLC Units”), including as part of the Transactions or under the Exchange Agreement, (ii) increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges or acquisitions of LLC Units and shares of Nextpower Inc.’s Class B common stock (including as part of the Transactions or under the Exchange Agreement), (iii) certain pre-existing tax attributes of certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG Rise that each merged with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextpower Inc., as part of the Transactions, and (iv)

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

certain other tax benefits related to Nextpower Inc. entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA. Prior to the Spin-off, Yuma and Yuma Sub assigned their respective rights under the TRA to an entity that remains an affiliate of the former parent.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, a liability of $393.2 million and $419.4 million, respectively, was recorded for the expected amount to be paid to the affiliate of the former parent, TPG and the TPG affiliates, of which $372.7 million and $394.9 million, respectively, were included in TRA liabilities and $20.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively, were included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Pillar Two

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"), a global policy forum, issued Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion rules, which a global minimum tax of 15% would apply to multinational groups with consolidated financial statement revenue in excess of EUR 750 million. The Company has evaluated the impact of these rules and currently believes that it will not have a material impact on its financial results through 2026.

As many countries have proposed or enacted Pillar Two in jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the Company continues to monitor the relevant developments.

Tax distributions

During fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024 and pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the LLC made pro rata tax distributions cash payment to its former non-controlling interest holders in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.0 million, $6.1 million, and $66.9 million, respectively.

13.Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or a decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Resource allocation decisions and Nextpower’s performance are assessed by its Chief Executive Officer, identified as the CODM, using consolidated net income as the primary measure of segment profit to support business expansion, new product development and operational efficiencies.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.

For all periods presented, Nextpower has one operating and reportable segment. The following table presents significant segment expenses with respect to the Company’s single reportable segment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and

14.Business acquisitions

Fiscal 2026 Acquisitions

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed four acquisitions (the "2026 Acquisitions"), as described below.

•On May 7, 2025, as part of an all-cash transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Bentek Corporation ("Bentek"), an industry pioneer and manufacturer of electrical infrastructure components that collect and transport electricity from solar panels to the power grid. The acquisition combines Bentek’s engineered, pre-assembled eBOS solutions with Nextpower’s solar tracker platform, providing customers with streamlined procurement and project logistics from a single source.

•On May 9, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in OnSight, an autonomous robotic inspection and fire detection system for solar plants. OnSight expands the Company’s strategy focused on applying automation, data, and advanced technologies to solar power plant deployment and operations, including applications in installation, inspection, and ongoing system management.

•On September 8, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Origami Solar, Inc. ("Origami"), a pioneer in roll-formed steel frame technology for solar panels. Steel frames offer a high-performance alternative to traditional extruded aluminum frames, delivering strength and durability, competitive cost, and the potential for a more localized supply chain.

•On November 7, 2025, in an all-cash transaction, the Company also acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Fracsun, a market leader in solar panel soiling measurement and monitoring solutions.

The 2026 Acquisitions continue Nextpower’s strategy of adding and incorporating complementary technologies into the company’s market-leading tracker platform to accelerate solar power plant construction, increase performance, and enhance long-term reliability. The aggregate cash consideration of the 2026 Acquisitions was approximately $116.8 million, net of cash acquired. Their aggregate total purchase price of $149.4 million includes $2.7 million of deferred consideration expected to be paid within a 12-month period, and $29.9 million of estimated contingent earnout in aggregate (with a maximum possible consideration of $58.5 million).

Fiscal 2025 Acquisitions

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed three acquisitions (the "2025 Acquisitions"), as described below.

•On June 20, 2024, as part of an all-cash transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Ojjo, a renewable energy company specializing in foundations technology and services used in ground-mount applications for solar power generation.

•Further, on July 31, 2024, the Company closed the acquisition of the solar foundations business held by Solar Pile International ("SPI") through the purchase of Spinex Systems Inc. and assets held by other SPI affiliates.

The 2025 Acquisitions expand the Company’s foundations offering by accelerating its capability to offer customers a more complete integrated solution for solar trackers and foundations. The development of any utility-scale project is a long and complex process. Foundations are a key part of every utility-scale solar project installation. In addition, projects are often confronted with unique challenges related to land use considerations and exceptional variation in subsurface conditions. The Company believes there is additional value for its customers in combining tracker systems and foundations to form an integrated solution, particularly for difficult and unique soil conditions.

The aggregate cash consideration of the 2025 Acquisitions was approximately $144.7 million, net of $4.4 million cash acquired. Additionally, the aggregate total purchase price of $164.7 million includes $14.0 million of deferred consideration expected to be paid within a 12-month period, a $3.4 million release of a loan obligation previously owed by the seller and a $2.6 million contingent earnout. The contingent earnout has a maximum possible consideration of $6.0 million upon the

achievement of future revenue performance targets, measured in megawatts ("MW"), over a four-year period starting October 1, 2024.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2026 and 2025 Acquisitions were based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the dates of the acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition dates, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed 12 months from the date of the relevant acquisition. Changes to amounts recorded as assets and liabilities may result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the respective measurement period.

The following represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the 2026 Acquisitions and the final allocation of the 2025 Acquisitions aggregate purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities (in thousands):

	2026 Acquisitions		2025 Acquisitions
Current assets	$	23,375	$	5,484
Property and equipment	6,729		23,576
Intangible assets	25,767		49,700
Goodwill	117,932		105,865
Other assets	12,840		4,633
Total assets	186,643		189,258
Current liabilities	28,421		17,467
Other liabilities, non-current	8,857		7,074
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	149,365	$	164,717

Intangible assets for the 2026 Acquisitions are comprised of $22.5 million of developed technology to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 9.3 years, $2.1 million of trade names to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 1.9 years, and $1.2 million of customer relationships to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 1.2 years. Intangible assets for the 2025 Acquisitions were comprised of $31.7 million of developed technology to be amortized over an estimated useful life of ten years, and $18.0 million of customer relationships to be amortized over an estimated useful life of five years. The fair value assigned to the identified intangible assets was estimated based on an income approach, which provides an indication of fair value based on the present value of cash flows that the acquired business is expected to generate in the future. Key assumptions used in the valuation included forecasted revenues, cost of sales and operating expenses, royalty rate, discount rate and weighted average cost of capital. The useful life of the acquired intangible assets for amortization purposes was determined by considering the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair values of the asset, adjusted for certain factors that may limit the useful life.

The results of operations of the 2026 and 2025 Acquisitions were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the dates of the acquisitions, and were not material for all periods presented.

Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the 2026 and 2025 Acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results for all periods presented.

The Company incurred approximately $10.3 million and $5.3 million of acquisition costs during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are presented as selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

Contingent earnout liabilities

The 2026 and 2025 Acquisitions contain various contingent earnout liabilities based on specific achievement criteria for various operational and/or performance targets. The fair value of the respective contingent earnout liabilities is estimated using the combination of a Scenario Based Method which identifies probability-weighted outcomes scenarios to arrive at an expected payoff and/or a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The Monte-Carlo simulation model is a probabilistic approach used to simulate

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

future revenue and calculate the potential contingent consideration payments for each simulated path. The inputs are unobservable in the market and therefore categorized as Level 3 inputs in the fair value measurement. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates the fair value of its contingent earnout obligations and records any changes in fair value of such liabilities in other income, net in its consolidated statements of operations. The balance of the contingent earnout liabilities is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table represents the activity related to the contingent earnout for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Balance as of March 31, 2024	$	—
Additions	2,550

Additions	29,930
Change in fair value (1)	6,130
Payments	(66)
Balance as of March 31, 2026	$	38,544

(1)Changes in the fair value of contingent earnout identified during fiscal year 2026 are recorded within other income, net on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, and are presented within net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

On May 12, 2026, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire complementary assets of Zigor Corporation’s power conversion business and its U.S.-based subsidiary, Apex Power, for a total purchase price of approximately $80.5 million, consisting of cash consideration of $46 million, and up to $34.5 million in potential earnout. The closing of the acquisition is subject to foreign direct investment (FDI) approval by the Spanish government and other customary conditions. The transaction is expected to expand Nextpower’s product portfolio and capabilities in utility-scale solar power conversion and support its entry into battery energy storage and data center markets.

15.Derivative financial instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues against foreign currency fluctuations. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts, including cash flow hedges, are measured at fair value as Level 2 by hierarchy level on a recurring basis, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers. The effective gain or loss on cash flow hedges is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the consolidated statements of operations in which the hedged items are recorded, in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding cash flow hedge contracts as of March 31, 2026 was 79 million Euros. Deferred gains were $0.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and are expected to be recognized primarily as a component of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations over the next twelve-month period.

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the cash flow hedges were immaterial for fiscal year 2026 and the gains recognized upon settlement of the hedged transactions were recorded in revenue on the consolidated statement of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a.Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

b.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the results of its evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2026. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report dated May 19, 2026, which has been included herein.

c.Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

d.Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because

of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Nextpower Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Nextpower Inc. (formerly Nextracker Inc.) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, of the Company and our report dated May 19, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2022 NEXTPOWER INC.

Article 1.PURPOSES OF THE PLAN.

The purposes of the Second Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives to Employees, Directors and Consultants, to give recognition to the contributions made or to be made by Outside Directors to the success of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business by linking the personal interests of Employees, Directors and Consultants to those of the Company’s stockholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to the Company’s stockholders. The Plan was previously adopted effective February 1, 2022, and was amended and restated thereafter, effective April 6, 2022, as the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the “First Restatement”), and the First Restatement was amended pursuant to the First Amendment to the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower LLC Equity Incentive Plan, effective January 30, 2023 (the “First Amendment”), in each case by Nextpower LLC, but in connection with the IPO, the Plan, as modified by the First Restatement and the First Amendment (collectively, the “Prior Plan”), was assumed by Nextpower Inc. and amended and restated in the form of the Plan. On June 14, 2024, the Plan was further amended and restated to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan by an additional 11,100,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval.

In the case of any Employee on an approved leave of absence, the Committee may make such provisions respecting suspension of vesting of the Award while on such leave as it may deem appropriate, except that in no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration of the term set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether a Participant has ceased to provide services and the effective date on which the Participant ceased to provide services.

Article 3.COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND LIMITATIONS.

3.1Number of Shares of Common Stock Available.

(a)Subject to Article 9, a total number of 23,297,143 shares of Common Stock are reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Plan (including upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option).

To the extent that an Award terminates, is forfeited, is canceled, expires or lapses for any reason, the shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Award terminates, is forfeited, is canceled, expires, or lapses, shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan.

With respect to awards (“Legacy Awards”) granted under the Prior Plan in respect of “Common Units” within the meaning of the Prior Plan (“Common Units”), such Legacy Awards shall automatically and immediately be amended upon the effectiveness of the Plan on the Effective Date, such that, all such Legacy Awards shall cease to relate to Common Units and thereafter relate to Common Stock for all purposes, it being understood that such Legacy Awards were previously amended on a similar basis to (x) reflect that certain “Reverse Unit Split” described in the First Amendment, and (y) clarify that the “Final Exercise Price” (within the meaning of the Award Agreements relating to such Legacy Awards granted as Options) shall continue to be determined pursuant to such Award Agreements (including Section 3.03(d) of the LLC Agreement as in effect as of the date of the First Amendment) and adjusted to reflect the “Adjustment” described in the First Amendment.

(b)If any shares of Common Stock are withheld to satisfy, as and when applicable, the grant or Exercise Price or tax withholding obligation (if and to the extent permitted by applicable law) pursuant to any Award, the Participant shall be (i) deemed to have waived his or her right to delivery of the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Award or in respect of which any Option or SAR is exercised; and (ii) deemed to have agreed to receive the number of shares of Common Stock (after deducting the number of shares of Common Stock withheld) as calculated by the Committee in its absolute discretion, which such number shall be deducted from the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under Section 3.1(a). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the gross number of shares of Common Stock subject to a SAR shall be deducted from the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under Section 3.1(a), regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to the applicable Participant. Further, any shares of Common Stock acquired by the Company, as and when applicable, to satisfy the grant or Exercise Price or tax withholding obligations (if and to the extent permitted by applicable law) pursuant to any Award shall not be added to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under Section 3.1(a). To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares of Common Stock issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not be counted against shares of Common Stock available for grant pursuant to the Plan.

Article 4.ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.

4.1Eligibility. Awards may be granted to Eligible Individuals; however, ISOs shall only be awarded to “employees” of the Company, or an ISO Parent or ISO Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. A person may be granted more than one (1) Award under the Plan.

4.2Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Individuals, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No Eligible Individual shall have any right by virtue of the Plan to receive an Award pursuant to the Plan.

Article 5.OPTIONS.

5.1General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals on the following terms and conditions:

(a)Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock (“Exercise Price”) subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that:  (i) the Exercise Price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder (as set forth in Section 5.2(c) below) shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

(b)Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, that the term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof (five (5) years in the case of an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder (as set forth in Section 5.2(c) below)). The Committee shall also determine the performance goals or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

(c)Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the Exercise Price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation: (i) cash or check, (ii) other property acceptable to the Committee; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The Committee shall also determine the methods by which Common Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or officer of the Company (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) shall be permitted to pay the Exercise Price of an Option, or continue any extension of credit with respect to the Exercise Price of an Option with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company.

(d)Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.

5.2Incentive Stock Options. ISOs shall be granted only to “employees” of the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and the terms of any ISOs granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1 hereof, must comply with the provisions of this Section 5.2.

(a)    Expiration. Subject to Section 5.2(c) hereof, an ISO shall expire and may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(i)    Ten (10) years from the date it is granted unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement;

(ii)    Three (3) months after the Participant’s Termination of Service; and

(iii)    One (1) year after the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any ISOs exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such ISO or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the ISO pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b)    Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that ISOs are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(c)    Ten Percent Stockholder. An ISO shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Common Stock of the Company (a “Ten Percent Stockholder”) only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more than five (5) years from the date of grant.

(d)    Notice of Disposition. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of the Common Stock acquired by exercise of an ISO within (i) two (2) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one (1) year after the issuance of such Common Stock to the Participant.

(e)    Right to Exercise. During a Participant’s lifetime, an ISO may be exercised only by the Participant.

(f)    Failure to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to be an ISO, which, for any reason, fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

5.3Section 409A. It is intended that all Options granted under the Plan shall be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

5.4Substitution of SARs. The Committee may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option that the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have to right to substitute a SAR for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option; provided, that such SAR shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of shares of Common Stock for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable.

Article 6.STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

6.1Grant of SARs.

(a)A SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, provided that the term of any SAR shall not exceed ten (10) years.

(b)A SAR shall entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the SAR pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the SAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised over (B) the grant price per share of Common Stock subject to such SAR, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose.

6.2Grant Price. The grant price per share of Common Stock subject to a SAR shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that such grant price for any SAR shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

6.3Payment and Limitations on Exercise.

(a)Subject to Section 6.3(b) hereof, payment of the amounts determined under Section 6.1(b) hereof shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the SAR is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee.

(b)To the extent any payment under Section 6.1(b) hereof is effected in shares of Common Stock, it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Article 5 pertaining to Options.

6.4Section 409A. It is intended that all SARs granted under the Plan shall be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.

Article 7.OTHER TYPES OF STOCK-BASED AWARDS.

7.1General Restrictions on Stock-Based Awards. Stock-Based Awards granted under this Article 7 may be based on a completion of a specified number of years of service with the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate of the Company or upon the completion of Performance Goals as set by the Committee.

7.2Performance Stock Awards.    Performance Stock Awards shall be denominated in a number of shares of Common Stock, and shall consist of, Common Stock and may be linked to any one (1) or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any Performance Period(s) determined by the Committee.

7.3Performance Stock Units. Performance Stock Unit Awards shall be denominated in unit equivalents of shares of Common Stock and/or units of value including the dollar value of shares of Common Stock and which may be linked to any one (1) or more of the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any Performance Period(s) determined by the Committee. On the vesting date, the Company shall, subject to Section 8.7, deliver to the Participant one (1) share of Common Stock for each Performance Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited. Alternatively, settlement of a Performance Stock Unit may be made in cash (in an amount reflecting the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock that would have been issued) or any combination of cash and Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the time of grant of the Performance Stock Units.

7.4Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be denominated in unit equivalents of shares of Common Stock and/or units of value including dollar value of shares of Common Stock in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the settlement date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the grantee. On the maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 8.7, deliver to the Participant one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited. Alternatively, settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit may be made in cash or any combination of cash and Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Units.

7.5Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized under the Plan to make any other Award to an Eligible Individual that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Common Stock, (ii) a right with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one (1) or more events, or the satisfaction of Performance Criteria or other conditions, or (iii) any other security with the value derived from the value of Common Stock. The Committee may establish one (1) or more separate programs under the Plan for the purpose of issuing particular forms of Awards to one (1) or more classes of Participants on such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee from time to time.

7.6Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of any Award of Performance Stock, Performance Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units and any other Stock-Based Award granted pursuant to this Article 7 shall be set by the Committee in its discretion.

7.7Form of Payment. Payments with respect to any Awards granted under this Article 7 shall be made in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee, at the time of grant of the Awards.

7.8Timing of Settlement. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify the settlement date applicable to an Award of Performance Stock, Performance Stock Units, Restricted Stock Units or any other Stock-Based Award granted pursuant to this Article 7, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date(s) applicable to the relevant Award and may be later than the vesting date(s) to the extent and under the terms determined by the Committee.

Article 8.PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS.

8.1Stand-Alone and Tandem Awards. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

8.2Award Agreement. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award which may include the term of an Award, the provisions applicable in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.

8.3Limits on Transfer. No right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than to, or in the favor of, the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and

distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved from time to time by the Committee (or the Board in the case of Awards granted to Outside Directors). The Committee by express provision in the Award Agreement or an amendment thereto may, subject to applicable laws, permit an Award (other than an ISO) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s Termination of Service with the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.

8.4Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any Award granted under the Plan shall only be exercisable or payable while the Participant is an Employee, Consultant or Director, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that any Award may be exercised or paid subsequent to a Termination of Service, as applicable, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Participant’s retirement, death or disability, or otherwise, provided that in no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration of the term set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.5Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 8.3 hereof, a Participant may, if permitted by the Committee and applicable law, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to either the person’s estate or legal representative or the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution (or equivalent laws outside the U.S.). Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

8.6Stock Certificates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise or vesting of any Award, unless and until the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or traded. All certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state local, securities or other laws, including laws of jurisdictions outside the U.S., rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock to reference restrictions applicable to the Common Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

8.7Accelerated Vesting and Deferral Limitations. The Committee shall not have the discretionary authority to accelerate or delay issuance of the Common Stock under an Award that constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, except to the extent that such acceleration or delay

may, in the discretion of the Committee, be effected in a manner that shall not cause any person to incur taxes, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

8.8Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. No dividends may be paid to a Participant with respect to an Award prior to the vesting of such Award. An Award may provide for dividends or dividend equivalents to accrue on behalf of a Participant as of each dividend payment date during the period between the date the Award is granted and the date the Award is exercised, vested, expired, credited or paid, and to be converted to vested cash or Common Stock at the same time and subject to the same vesting conditions that apply to the Common Stock to which such dividends or dividend equivalents relate.

Article 9.CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

9.1Adjustments. Should any change be made to the Common Stock issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization, combination, exchange, spin-off or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any Participant may be granted Awards under the terms of the Plan or that may be granted generally under the terms of the Plan, and (iii) the number and/or class of securities and price per share of Common Stock in effect under each Award outstanding under Articles 5 through 7. Such adjustments to the outstanding Awards are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an adjustment to an Award under this Section 9.1 may not be made in a manner that would result in the grant of a new Option or SAR under Section 409A of the Code. The adjustments determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

9.2Change of Control.

(a)Notwithstanding Section 9.1 hereof, and except as may otherwise be provided in any applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement entered into between the Company and a Participant, if a Change of Control occurs and a Participant’s Full-Value Awards are not converted, assumed, or replaced by a comparable award by a successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, such Full-Value Awards shall automatically vest and become fully exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse immediately prior to the Change of Control and following the consummation of such Change of Control, the Award shall terminate and cease to be outstanding. Further, if a Change of Control occurs and a Participant’s Options or SARs are not converted, assumed or replaced by a comparable award by a successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, such Options or SARs outstanding at the time of the Change of Control, shall automatically vest and become fully exercisable immediately prior to the Change of Control and thereafter shall automatically terminate. In the event that the terms of any agreement (other than the Award Agreement) between the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate and a Participant contains provisions that conflict with and are more restrictive than the provisions of this Section 9.2(a), this Section 9.2(a) shall prevail and control and the more restrictive terms of such agreement (and only such terms) shall be of no force or effect. The determination of comparability in this Section 9.2(a) shall be made by the Committee, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(b)The portion of any Incentive Stock Option accelerated in connection with a Change of Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such Option shall be exercisable as a Non-Qualified Stock Option under the U.S. federal tax laws.

9.3No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Common Stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any

increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Common Stock of any class, or securities convertible into Common Stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award or the grant or the Exercise Price of any Award.

Article 10.ADMINISTRATION.

10.1Authority of Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee or by the Board acting as the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the Plan, and to the direction of the Board, the Committee shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan.

(m)establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations including adopting sub-plans to the Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable under local law;

10.2Committee Discretion.

10.3Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one (1) or more members of the Board or one (1) or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than Insiders to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder, by the Committee, or by the Compensation and People Committee of Flex, Ltd., a limited company organized under the laws of Singapore and indirect Parent of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, provided it meets the limitation in the preceding sentence, this delegation shall include the right to modify Awards as necessary to accommodate changes in the laws or regulations, including in jurisdictions outside the U.S. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegate. At all times, the delegate appointed under this Section 10.3 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.

Article 11.EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATE.

11.1Effective Date. The Plan is effective as August 19, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) on which the Plan as adopted by the Board was approved by its stockholders.

11.2Expiration Date. The Plan shall expire on, and no Award may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

Article 12.AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION.

12.1Amendment, Modification, and Termination. The Committee has complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan (or any component thereof) in any or all respects whatsoever. However, no such amendment or modification shall materially and adversely affect rights and obligations with respect to Awards at the time outstanding under the Plan, unless the Participant consents to such amendment. In addition, except as provided in the Plan, the Committee may not, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend the Plan to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, (ii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for Plan participation or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants. Further, the repricing, replacement or regranting of any previously granted Award, through cancellation or by lowering the Exercise Price of such Award, shall be prohibited unless the stockholders of the Company first approve such repricing, replacement or regranting. No underwater Option or SAR may be cancelled in exchange for, or in connection with the payment of a cash amount without stockholder approval. The Committee may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award

Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee shall not, without the requisite stockholder approvals, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such stockholder approval under the stock exchange listing requirements then applicable to the Company.

12.2Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to Section 13.13 hereof, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant; provided, however, that an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant.

Article 13.GENERAL PROVISIONS.

13.1No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

13.2No Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Stock covered by any Award, including the right to vote or receive dividends, until the Participant becomes the owner of such Common Stock, notwithstanding the exercise or vesting of an Option or other Award.

13.3Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal, state, or local taxes and any taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the U.S. (including income tax, social insurance contributions, payment on account and any other taxes that may be due) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of the Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, as appropriate, to satisfy withholding obligations for the payment of taxes by any means authorized by the Committee. No Common Stock shall be delivered hereunder to any Participant or other person until the Participant or such other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of these tax obligations with respect to any taxable event concerning the Participant or such other person arising as a result of Awards made under the Plan.

13.4No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

13.5Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

13.6Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, termination programs and/or indemnities or severance payments, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder, or as expressly provided by applicable law.

13.7Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates.

13.8Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

13.9Fractional Shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding down as appropriate.

13.10Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

13.11Government and Other Regulations.

(a)The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in shares of Common Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the U.S. and jurisdictions outside of the U.S., and to such approvals by government agencies, including government agencies in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., in each case as may be required or as the Company deems necessary or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver any Common Stock subject to Awards granted hereunder prior to: (i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and (ii) completion of any registration or other qualification with respect to the Common Stock under any applicable law in the U.S. or in a jurisdiction outside of the U.S. or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective. The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Common Stock as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Common Stock issued or paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act. If the shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act the Company may restrict the issuance and delivery of such Common Stock in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Prior Plan and the Legacy Awards issued thereunder were originally intended to qualify as a compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act (and any similarly applicable state “blue-sky” securities laws) with respect to periods preceding the IPO; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict or limit the application of any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act in connection therewith.

13.12Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements, and all controversies thereunder or related thereto, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

13.13Section 409A. Except as provided in Section 13.14 hereof, to the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that

any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance (including such U.S. Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the application of any penalty taxes under such Section. If a Participant is identified by the Company as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code on the date on which the Participant has a “separation from service” (other than due to death) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1( h), any Award payable or settled on account of a separation from service that is deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid or settled on the earliest of (i) as soon as practicable after, but in no event more than ten (10) days after, the first business day following the expiration of six (6) months from the Participant’s separation from service, (ii) as soon as practicable after the date of the Participant’s death, or (iii) such earlier date as complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

13.14No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Award for favorable tax treatment under the laws of the U.S. (e.g., Incentive Stock Options) or jurisdictions outside of the U.S. or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, anything to the contrary in the Plan, including Section 13.13 hereof, notwithstanding. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under the Plan.

Exhibit 19.1

NEXTPOWER INC.

INSIDER TRADING AND TRADING WINDOW POLICY

(as Adopted February 1, 2023 and amended on February 13, 2025)

I.Purpose

Nextpower Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Nextpower” or the “Company”) have established this Insider Trading and Trading Window Policy (this “Policy”).

It is the policy of Nextpower to comply with the U.S. insider trading laws and regulations, and that while carrying out Company business, directors, officers and employees must avoid any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations. to this end, each director, officer, and employee of the Company and each other person listed below is expected to abide by this Policy.

The insider trading laws of the United States (“U.S.”) prohibit buying or selling a company’s securities while aware of material, nonpublic information about that company. It may also violate U.S. securities laws to disclose material, nonpublic information (deliberately or inadvertently) to another person (including your spouse, parent, child or sibling) if that person either buys or sells securities while aware of the information disclosed, or passes that information to a third party who does. Providing advice regarding a company’s stock while aware of material, nonpublic information regarding that company may also violate insider trading laws. If you improperly trade, make such a disclosure or provide such advice, you may be subject to damages, civil suits and criminal prosecution, regardless of whether you receive financial gain from the transaction.

Information obtained through the course of your employment or other business relationship with Nextpower does not belong to you individually. The information is an asset of the Company. Any person who uses such information for personal benefit or discloses it to others outside the Company without authorization violates his or her confidentiality duties to the Company and may be in breach of his or her fiduciary, loyalty or other duties to the Company. More particularly, trading on the basis of Company material nonpublic information harms the Company and its investors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), prosecutors and plaintiffs’ lawyers devote considerable resources to identifying insider trading. A breach of the insider trading laws could expose the insider or anyone who trades on information provided by an insider to criminal fines and imprisonment, in addition to civil penalties and injunctive actions. Even if allegations of insider trading do not lead to a conviction, defending against such allegations is expensive. In addition, the mere perception that an insider traded with the knowledge of material nonpublic information could harm the reputation of the Company and that insider. Accordingly, this Policy is in some cases more restrictive than what applicable insider trading laws might otherwise require.

In all cases, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this Policy, you retain responsibility for determining that your trading activity is conducted in compliance with applicable securities laws. Any action on the part of the Company, the General Counsel or any other employee or agent of the Company pursuant to this Policy (or otherwise) does not in any way constitute legal advice or insulate you from liability under applicable securities laws.

II.Scope

1.Who does this Policy apply to?

This Policy applies to the following individuals and entities:

•Employees, officers, and directors of Nextpower and its subsidiaries;

•Contractors, consultants, and certain other persons who possesses, has access to, or may gain access to material, nonpublic information regarding Nextpower or any other entities with which Nextpower has a business relationship;

•The spouses, domestic partners, and minor children (even if financially independent) of such directors, officers or employees (collectively, “Family Members”),

•Anyone to whom Company directors, officers or employees provide significant financial support,

•Any entity or account over which the persons listed above, have or share the power, directly or indirectly, to make investment decisions (whether or not such persons have a financial interest in the entity or account) and those entities or accounts established or maintained by such persons with their consent or knowledge and in which such persons have a direct or indirect financial interest, other than any blind trust that is approved by the General Counsel (or person performing similar functions).

Although this Policy is based on U.S. federal securities laws, it is Nextpower’s goal to maintain the same ethical standards across all regions regarding the purchase and sale of securities by Nextpower employees, officers, directors, consultants and contractors. Therefore, this Policy will apply globally, unless prohibited by local, state, federal or provincial law.

2.What types of transactions does this Policy apply to?

This Policy establishes procedures and guidelines for buying, selling, and otherwise transacting in securities issued by the Company, and in certain instances, securities issued by the Company’s customers, suppliers and other business partners. This Policy does not apply to certain transactions listed below under the heading “Are there exceptions to this Policy?”

III.Definitions and Abbreviations

1.Who are Access Persons?

To help prevent inadvertent violations of the securities laws and to avoid even the appearance of trading on inside information, the General Counsel of the Company (or such person performing such similar functions) will maintain a list of “Access Persons” who, in the judgment of the General Counsel, have access to material non-public information on a regular basis. The list of Access Persons will generally include: (i) Section 16 Persons (as defined below), (ii) all employees on the Company’s Disclosure Committee, (iii) all Company employees who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (iv) all Company employees who have access to interim financial results before they are publicly available and (v) such other persons as the General Counsel may designate from time to time. Access Persons are subject to additional restrictions on trading in the Company’s securities under this Policy.

2.What is a blackout period?

A “blackout period” is a time period when affected persons are precluded from trading in any Nextpower securities. A blackout period may also be referred to as a period when a “trading window is closed”. Nextpower has regularly scheduled blackout periods and may also institute blackout periods for certain groups of persons on an ad hoc basis.

3.What is “material, nonpublic information”?

There is no bright-line test as to what Company information is “material.” Under the U.S. securities laws, information is “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision regarding the Company’s securities. Positive and negative information, historical and forward-looking information and quantitative or qualitative information may be material. Material information concerning the Company (including information relating to the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates) may include, but is not limited to, the following:

•Earnings information and quarterly or annual results;

•Guidance or other statements regarding expected revenue, profits, cash flow, or other earnings information;

•Proposed significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic matters;

•Launches of significant new products, the gain or loss of a significant customer, or other operational developments that could affect the Company’s financial performance or forecast;

•Financings and other events regarding the Company’s stock or other securities (including dividends, stock splits, stock repurchases, defaults on debt securities, calls of securities for redemption, tender offers, or public or private sales of additional securities);

•Changes in debt ratings, or analyst upgrades or downgrades of the Company or its securities;

•Significant pending or threatened litigation, investigations or tax disputes, or the resolutions of these matters;

•Significant cybersecurity breaches;

•Changes in control or changes in the board of directors or senior management;

•Significant changes in accounting treatment;

•Auditor notification that the Company may no longer rely on an audit report;

•Liquidity problems or impending bankruptcy, corporate restructurings or receivership; and

•Significant changes in regulation and analysis of how such changes may affect the Company.

Because trading that receives scrutiny will be evaluated after the fact with the benefit of hindsight, questions as to the materiality of particular information should be resolved in favor of materiality, and trading should be avoided if such information is nonpublic. When in doubt, you should treat nonpublic or confidential information as material and consult with the General Counsel of the Company prior to engaging in a securities transaction.

For information to be considered available to the public, it needs to be: (a) disclosed through a press release or a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or through a widely attended conference call or presentation that is available to the public through a webcast or dial-in number, or in any manner that would make the information generally available to investors in a broad-based, non-exclusionary manner; and (b) two (2) full trading day needs to have passed to allow the news to be “digested” by the public.

4.Who are Section 16 Persons?

“Section 16 Persons” include the Board of Directors of Nextpower and the executive officers of Nextpower who the Board of Directors has specifically designated as “Section 16 Officers” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

5.What is a qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan?

Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense to insider trading liability for transactions that you make in Nextpower securities under a pre-existing written trading plan that meets the conditions specified below (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”).

The adoption of any Rule 10b5-1 Plan is subject to prior written approval by the Company’s General Counsel. You must notify the General Counsel’s Office, in writing or by email in advance of your intent to establish a Rule 10b5-1 Plan. Your notice must:

•Confirm that (a) you do not believe that you possess any material, nonpublic information concerning Nextpower or its securities and (b) you are establishing the Rule 10b5-1 Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan to avoid the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1. This requirement also would apply to any modification or termination of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan; and

•If you are a Section 16 Person, confirm that all trades made pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be made in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

If you plan to use a Rule 10b5-1 Plan that is not the standard form of plan provided by the Company’s current equity plan trading platform (the “Company Broker”), then submit your proposed Rule 10b5-1 Plan to the Legal Department for review. If you do not have a proposed Rule 10b5-1 Plan, then you can obtain a form Rule 10b5-1 Plan from the Legal Department or from the Company Broker.

Your Rule 10b5-1 Plan must meet the following conditions:

•If you are a director or executive officer, include a waiting period, such that you may not purchase or sell Nextpower securities pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan until the later of

(a) ninety (90) days after you establish the Rule 10b5-1 Plan or (b) two (2) business days following disclosure of Nextpower’s financial results in a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for the completed fiscal quarter in which the Rule 10b5-1 Plan was adopted. The required waiting period will not exceed 120 days following the adoption or modification of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan;

•If you are not a director or executive officer, include a waiting period, such that you may not purchase or sell Nextpower securities pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan until thirty (30) days after you establish the Rule 10b5-1 Plan;

•Either: (i) expressly specify the amount, price and date of the securities to be purchased or sold or (ii) provide a written formula for determining amounts, prices and dates of the securities to be purchased or sold;

•Not permit you to make any subsequent decisions, or exercise any subsequent influence over, how, when or whether to effect any purchase or sale of any Nextpower securities;

•You may not establish, modify, revoke or early terminate a Rule 10b5-1 Plan during a blackout period (see “What is a blackout period?”);

•You may not engage in any trades of Nextpower securities outside of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan;

•Following any permitted revocation of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan, you may not establish a new Rule 10b5-1 Plan until the commencement of the next open window (see “What is Nextpower’s regular open window and blackout period policy?”);

•If you are an Access Person (see “Who are Access Persons?”), then you must receive prior written approval from the General Counsel if you want to modify, revoke or early terminate a Rule 10b5-1 Plan; and

•You may not establish overlapping Rule 10b5-1 Plans.

Your Rule 10b5-1 Plan may be modified by you after you establish it, but you should not anticipate needing to make any changes to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan at the time you establish it. Modifications or terminations of your Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be subject to the same waiting periods as when you enter into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan and will be subject to pre-clearance, if applicable. However, modifications of an administrative nature that do not change the price, amount of securities or timing of the transactions will not trigger a new waiting period. If you make changes to your Rule 10b5-1 Plan or revoke your Rule 10b5-1 Plan, you may be exposed to insider trading liability if you possessed (or had access to) material, nonpublic information at the time you made those changes and subsequently engaged in transactions under the Rule 10b5-1 Plan.

You may adopt only one (1) Rule 10b5-1 Plan to execute a single trade per any consecutive 12-month period, other than participation in employee stock ownership plans or dividend reinvestment plans, or “sell-to-cover” plans to cover tax withholdings on equity awards, subject to certain limited exceptions that comport with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 relating to multiple or overlapping plans.

IV.Policy Statement

1.What is prohibited by this Policy?

You may not trade in Nextpower securities while you are aware of material, nonpublic information about Nextpower, or while you are subject to a black-out window. You also may not transact in the securities of other publicly traded companies about which you have access to material, nonpublic information while working for Nextpower. You may not communicate or “tip” material, nonpublic information to others who may trade in Nextpower securities (or any other publicly traded securities) based on that information. You may not have another person trade in Nextpower securities (or any other publicly traded securities) for you based on that information. No exceptions will be made to the restrictions in this paragraph, even for hardship or based on use of proceeds (e.g. to make a required tax payment).

Unless otherwise approved by the General Counsel in limited circumstances, you should not make gifts of Nextpower securities while you are aware of material, nonpublic information about Nextpower or while you are subject to a black-out window. Gifts of Company securities are otherwise subject to this Policy, including the pre-clearance requirements.

You are also prohibited from engaging in derivative or hedging transactions in Nextpower’s securities under this Policy. In that regard, you may not, at any time, trade in any interest or position relating to the future price of Nextpower securities, including options (other than Nextpower stock options granted by the Company, which cannot be traded), puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or other derivatives, or short sales. This Policy also prohibits engaging in hedging transactions with Nextpower securities, using such securities as collateral for margin accounts or pledging such securities as collateral for loans.

2.What are the penalties for insider trading?

The consequences of prohibited insider trading or tipping (providing material, nonpublic information to another person who then makes a trade) can be severe and can include civil and criminal sanctions and penalties and may expose the Company to potential liability. If you fail to comply with this Policy, you may be subject to Nextpower-imposed sanctions, including dismissal, regardless of whether your failure to comply with this Policy results in a violation of law. Nextpower reserves the right to determine, in its own discretion and on the basis of the information available to it, whether this Policy has been violated. It is not necessary for Nextpower to await the filing or conclusion of a civil or criminal action against any alleged violator before taking disciplinary action.

3.What is Nextpower’s regular open window and blackout period policy?

In addition to being subject to all of the other limitations in this Policy, if you are an Access Person (see “Who are Access Persons?”), you (and your family members and others described under “Who does this Policy apply to?”) may only trade in Nextpower securities during an “open window,” which will generally begin at the start of the third business day after the day on which the Company’s financial results for any particular fiscal period have been released by public announcement and, depending on the quarter, approximately two (2) or three (3) weeks before the end of the following fiscal quarter. In order to facilitate compliance with this Policy, notice will generally be provided to all Access Persons as to the closing of the open window and the beginning of the regular blackout period. Failure of an Access Person to receive notice of a blackout period shall not entitle an Access Person to trade if such person has material, nonpublic information. In addition, an Access Person may not trade during an open

window if the Access Person has material, nonpublic information. If you are an Access Person and your employment with Nextpower ends or you otherwise cease to be an Access Person during a blackout period, you will remain subject to the blackout period trading restrictions until the end of the blackout period.

Assuming the Nasdaq Global Select Market is open every business day, and assuming the earnings announcement is made on a Monday, below is an example of when the blackout periods would end in accordance with Nextpower’s regular blackout period policy:

Announcement Time on Monday	First Day You Can Trade
Before Market Opens	Wednesday
While Market is Open	Thursday
After Market Closes	Thursday

4.What is a special blackout period?

In addition, from time to time in connection with enforcing this Policy, Nextpower may impose special blackout period trading restrictions. In these situations, the Legal Department will send an email notification to affected persons informing them that a special blackout period is in effect and of their obligation not to trade in any Nextpower securities until the special blackout period has ended. If the Legal Department sends you an email notice that you are covered by a blackout period, then you may not trade in Nextpower’s securities until the Legal Department notifies you by email that the special blackout period has ended. You may not disclose the existence of the special blackout period to any other person. Failure to receive notice of a special blackout period shall not entitle anyone subject to this Policy to trade if such person has material, nonpublic information.

5.Are there exceptions to this Policy?

The only pre-approved exceptions to this Policy are:

▪Option Exercises. You may exercise a Nextpower stock option while you are in possession of material, nonpublic information. However, this exception does not apply to a broker-assisted cashless exercise of your stock option. The stock you acquire upon exercise will be treated like any other Nextpower stock under this Policy and may not be traded while you are in possession of material nonpublic information, even to cover the exercise price of the stock option or associated taxes.

▪Sale-To-Cover. The sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to cover tax withholding obligations incurred upon vesting of restricted share units when vesting occurs on a pre-determined date, but only to the extent of the amount of the tax withholding obligation, provided that the “Sale-To-Cover” election takes place in an open window.

▪Transfers Pursuant to a Qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan. You may sell or purchase Nextpower securities pursuant to a qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan (see “What is a qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan?”).

6.What are the pre-clearance requirements for transactions by “Section 16 Persons”?

In addition to the restrictions described above, if you are a Section 16 Person (see “Who are Section 16 Persons?”), you must always comply with the following notice and approval requirements to trade in (or engage in any transactions involving) Nextpower securities. These pre-clearance requirements apply to transactions including gifts and estate planning transactions (e.g. transfers to family trusts) as well as to open market purchases and sales:

▪At least two (2) full trading days prior to a proposed trade in (or any other transaction involving) Nextpower securities, other than a trade pursuant to a qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan, you must notify, and request pre-approval by, the General Counsel, in writing or by email of the proposed transaction(s) and confirm that you do not believe that you possess any material, nonpublic information concerning Nextpower. The notice must set forth the individual’s name, the number of shares, proposed type and date of transaction and complete contact information for the individual’s broker. In the case where the General Counsel proposes to trade, his or her pre-clearance notice and pre-approval request must be delivered to the Chief Financial Officer. Once you have received approval, if you do not execute the proposed transaction(s) within the approved time frame, you must request a new approval setting forth the required information. If no time frame is provided in the approval, then you may not execute the proposed transaction more than two (2) business days after the date that you receive the approval. The Company is under no obligation to approve a trade submitted for pre-approval, and may determine not to permit the trade for any reason. Pre-approval of a transaction does not constitute a recommendation by the Company or any of their employees or agents that any Section 16 Person engage in the subject transaction or a confirmation that the transaction is in compliance with securities laws.

▪On the same business day of any transaction in Nextpower stock, including pursuant to a qualified Rule 10b5-1 Plan, you must notify the stock administrator and the Legal Department so that Nextpower can assist you with the filing of the appropriate forms with the SEC.

Section 16 of the Exchange Act applies to directors and executive officers of the Company and to any person owning more than 10% of any registered class of the Company’s equity securities. Under Section 16, any profit realized by an insider on a “short-swing” transaction (i.e., a purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the Company’s equity securities within a period of less than six months) must be disgorged to the Company upon demand by the Company or a stockholder acting on its behalf. By law, the Company cannot waive or release any claim it may have under Section 16(b), or enter into an enforceable agreement to provide indemnification for amounts recovered under the section.

Liability under Section 16(b) is imposed in a mechanical fashion without regard to whether the insider intended to violate the section. The deemed “profit” that must be disgorged may be unrelated to the actual gain on the shares sold. When computing recoverable profits on multiple purchases and sales within a six-month period, the courts maximize the recovery by matching the lowest purchase price to the highest sale price, the next lowest purchase price with the next highest sale price, and so on. The use of this method makes it possible for an insider to sustain a net loss on a series of transactions while having recoverable profits.

The terms “purchase” and “sale” are construed under Section 16(b) to cover a broad range of transactions. Moreover, purchases and sales by an insider may be matched with transactions by any

person (such as family members or a family trust) whose securities are deemed to be beneficially owned by the insider.

In other words, the Section 16 rules are complicated and present ample opportunity for inadvertent error. To avoid unnecessary costs and potential embarrassment for Section 16 Persons and the Company, directors and executive officers are strongly urged to consult with the Company’s General Counsel prior to engaging in any transaction or other transfer of Company equity securities regarding the potential application of Section 16(b).

V.Responsibility

The Legal Department is responsible for administering and updating this Policy. If you have any questions regarding this Policy or its applicability to any proposed transaction or event, please contact the General Counsel. Exceptions to this Policy may be granted by the General Counsel or, upon consultation with the General Counsel, by the Chief Financial Officer.

VI.Reporting of Violations

Any employee or director who becomes aware of a violation of this Policy should promptly report the violation by following the reporting guidelines set forth in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Exhibit 97.1

NEXTPOWER INC. FINANCIAL RESTATEMENT COMPENSATION RECOUPMENT POLICY

This Nextpower Inc. Financial Restatement Compensation Recoupment Policy (the “Policy”) has been adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Nextpower Inc. (the “Company”) on August 24, 2023. This Policy provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities laws in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. This Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act (as defined below) and Section 5608 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Listing Rule”).

1.Definitions. For the purposes of this Policy, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below.

(a)“Committee” means the Compensation and People Committee of the Board or any successor committee thereof.

(b)“Covered Compensation” means any Incentive-based Compensation “received” by a Covered Executive during the applicable Recoupment Period; provided that:

(i)such Incentive-based Compensation was received by such Covered Executive (A) on or after the Effective Date, (B) after he or she commenced service as an Executive Officer and (C) while the Company had a class of securities publicly listed on a United States national securities exchange; and

(ii)such Covered Executive served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period applicable to such Incentive-based Compensation.

For purposes of this Policy, Incentive-based     Compensation is “received” by a Covered Executive during the fiscal period in which the Financial Reporting Measure applicable to such Incentive-based Compensation (or portion thereof) is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-based Compensation is made thereafter.

(c)“Covered Executive” means any current or former Executive Officer.

(d)“Effective Date” means the date on which the Listing Rule becomes effective.

(e)“Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(f)“Executive Officer” means, with respect to the Company, (i) its president, (ii) its principal financial officer, (iii) its principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, its controller), (iv) any vice-president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), (v) any other officer who performs a policy-making function for the Company (including any officer of the Company’s parent(s) or subsidiaries if they perform policy-making functions for the Company) and (vi) any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. Policy-making function is not intended to include policy-making functions that are not significant. The determination as to an individual’s status as an Executive Officer shall be made by the Committee and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on such individual and all other interested persons.

(g)“Financial Reporting Measure” means any (i) measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, (ii) stock price measure or (iii) total shareholder return measure (and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from any measure referenced in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above). For the avoidance of doubt, any such measure does not need to

be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to constitute a Financial Reporting Measure.

(h)“Financial Restatement” means a restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws that is required in order to correct:

(i)an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements; or

(ii)an error that would result in a material misstatement if the error were (A) corrected in the current period or (B) left uncorrected in the current period.

For purposes of this Policy, a Financial Restatement shall not be deemed to occur in the event of a revision of the Company’s financial statements due to an out-of-period adjustment (i.e., when the error is immaterial to the previously issued financial statements and the correction of the error is also immaterial to the current period) or a retrospective (1) application of a change in accounting principles; (2) revision to reportable segment information due to a change in the structure of the Company’s internal organization; (3) reclassification due to a discontinued operation; (4) application of a change in reporting entity, such as from a reorganization of entities under common control; or (5) revision for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in capital structure.

(i)“Incentive-based Compensation” means any compensation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any cash or equity or equity-based compensation, whether deferred or current) that is granted, earned and/or vested based wholly or in part upon the achievement of a Financial Reporting Measure. For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive-based Compensation” shall also be deemed to include any amounts which were determined based on (or were otherwise calculated by reference to) Incentive-based Compensation (including, without limitation, any amounts under any long-term disability, life insurance or supplemental retirement or severance plan or agreement or any notional account that is based on Incentive-based Compensation, as well as any earnings accrued thereon).

(j)“Nasdaq” means the NASDAQ Global Select Market, or any successor thereof.

(k)“Recoupment Period” means the three fiscal years completed immediately preceding the date of any applicable Recoupment Trigger Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recoupment Period additionally includes any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years, provided that a transition period between the last day of the Company’s previous fiscal year end and the first day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine (9) to twelve (12) months would be deemed a completed fiscal year.

(l)“Recoupment Trigger Date” means the earlier of (i) the date that the Board (or a committee thereof or the officer(s) of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required) concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Financial Restatement, and (ii) the date on which a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Financial Restatement.

2.Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

(a)In the event of a Financial Restatement, if the amount of any Covered Compensation received by a Covered Executive (the “Awarded Compensation”) exceeds the amount of such Covered Compensation that would have otherwise been received by such Covered Executive if calculated based on the Financial Restatement (the “Adjusted Compensation”), the Company shall reasonably promptly recover from such Covered Executive an amount equal to the excess of the Awarded Compensation over the Adjusted Compensation, each calculated on a pre-tax basis (such excess amount, the “Erroneously Awarded Compensation”).

(b)If (i) the Financial Reporting Measure applicable to the relevant Covered Compensation is stock price or total shareholder return (or any measure derived wholly or in part from either of such measures) and (ii) the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the Financial Restatement, then the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be determined (on a pre-tax basis) based on the Company’s reasonable estimate of the effect of the Financial Restatement on the Company’s stock price or total shareholder return (or the derivative measure thereof) upon which such Covered Compensation was received.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on (i) if or when the restated financial statements are filed or (ii) any fault of any Covered Executive for the accounting errors or other actions leading to a Financial Restatement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2(a) through (c) hereof, the Company shall not be required to recover any Erroneously Awarded Compensation if both (x) the conditions set forth in either of the following clauses (i) or (ii) are satisfied and (y) the Committee (or a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board) has determined that recovery of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation would be impracticable:

(i)the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the recovery of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy would exceed the amount of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation to be recovered; provided that, before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Section 2(d), the Company shall have first made a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to make such recovery and provide that documentation to the Nasdaq; or

(ii)recovery of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(13) or 411(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(e)The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executive, directly or indirectly, for any losses that such Covered Executive may incur in connection with the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy, including through the payment of insurance premiums or gross-up payments.

(f)The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the manner and timing in which any Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be recovered from a Covered Executive in accordance with applicable law, including, without limitation, by (i) requiring reimbursement of Covered Compensation previously paid in cash; (ii) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer or other disposition of any equity or equity-based awards; (iii) offsetting the Erroneously Awarded Compensation amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company or any of its affiliates to the Covered Executive; (iv) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity or equity-based awards; and/or (v) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 2(d), in no event may the Company accept an amount that is less than the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation; provided that, to the extent necessary to avoid any adverse tax consequences to the Covered Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, any offsets against amounts under any nonqualified deferred compensation plans (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) shall be made in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

3.Administration. This Policy shall be administered by the Committee. All decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Covered Executives, their beneficiaries, executors, administrators and any other legal representative. The Committee shall have full power and authority to (i)

administer and interpret this Policy; (ii) correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in this Policy; and (iii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of this Policy and to comply with applicable law (including Section 10D of the Exchange Act) and applicable stock market or exchange rules and regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent permitted by Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Listing Rule, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, administer this Policy in the same manner as the Committee.

4.Amendment/Termination. Subject to Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Listing Rule, this Policy may be amended or terminated by the Committee at any time. To the extent that any applicable law, or stock market or exchange rules or regulations require recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in circumstances in addition to those specified herein, nothing in this Policy shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right or obligation of the Company to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the fullest extent required by such applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, this Policy shall no longer be effective from and after the date that the Company no longer has a class of securities publicly listed on a United States national securities exchange.

5.Interpretation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Listing Rule (and any applicable regulations, administrative interpretations or stock market or exchange rules and regulations adopted in connection therewith). The provisions of this Policy shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies such requirements and this Policy shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of this Policy would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

6.Other Compensation Clawback/Recoupment Rights. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies, rights or requirements with respect to the clawback or recoupment of any compensation that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any other recoupment or clawback policy of the Company (or any of its affiliates) that may be in effect from time to time, any provisions in any employment agreement, offer letter, equity plan, equity award agreement or similar plan or agreement, and any other legal remedies available to the Company, as well as applicable law, stock market or exchange rules, listing standards or regulations; provided, however, that any amounts recouped or clawed back under any other policy that would be recoupable under this Policy shall count toward any required clawback or recoupment under this Policy and vice versa.

7.Exempt Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company has no obligation under this Policy to seek recoupment of amounts paid to a Covered Executive which are granted, vested or earned based solely upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of nonfinancial events. Such exempt compensation includes, without limitation, base salary, time-vesting awards, compensation awarded on the basis of the achievement of metrics that are not Financial Reporting Measures or compensation awarded solely at the discretion of the Committee or the Board, provided that such amounts are in no way contingent on, and were not in any way granted on the basis of, the achievement of any Financial Reporting Measure performance goal.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Any applicable award agreement or other document setting forth the terms and conditions of any compensation covered by this Policy shall be deemed to include the restrictions imposed herein and incorporate this Policy by reference and, in the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Policy will govern. For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy applies to all compensation that is received on or after the Effective Date, regardless of the date on which the award agreement or other document setting forth the terms and conditions of the Covered Executive’s compensation became effective, including, without limitation, compensation received under the Second Amended and Restated 2022 Nextpower Inc. Equity Incentive Plan and any successor plan thereto.

(b)This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

(c)All issues concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Policy and all related documents, including, without limitation, any employment agreement, offer letter, equity award agreement or similar agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(d)The Covered Executives, their beneficiaries, executors, administrators and any other legal representative and the Company shall initially attempt to resolve all claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of or in connection with this Policy by conducting good faith negotiations amongst themselves. To ensure the timely and economical resolution of disputes that arise in connection with this Policy, the federal and state courts sitting within the California of California shall be the sole and exclusive forums for any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or relating to the enforcement, performance or interpretation of this Policy. The Covered Executives, their beneficiaries, executors, administrators and any other legal representative and the Company, shall not commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the United States District Court for the District of California or any California court, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Policy or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Covered Executives, their beneficiaries, executors, administrators, and any other legal representative, and the Company, shall waive (and shall hereby be deemed to have waived) the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury.

(e)If any provision of this Policy is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.
