ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Orion includes Orion Energy Systems, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, and all consolidated subsidiaries. Orion provides light emitting diode lighting systems, wireless Internet of Things enabled control solutions, project engineering, energy project management design, maintenance services and turnkey electric vehicle charging station installation services to commercial and industrial businesses, and federal and local governments, predominantly in North America.
Orion’s corporate offices and leased primary manufacturing operations are located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Orion also leases office space in Jacksonville, Florida and Lawrence, Massachusetts.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion Energy Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 or other interim periods.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on June 26, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of management estimates include revenue recognition, net realizable value of inventory, allowance for credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three months ended June 30, 2025,
For the three months ended June 30, 2025,
As of June 30, 2025,
Compliance with the Continued Listing Standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”)
On September 20, 2024, Orion received written notice from NASDAQ that it was not in compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on NASDAQ, as the closing bid price of Orion's common stock had been below $
On March 20, 2025, Orion received a letter from NASDAQ granting Orion the additional period, through September 15, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If Orion does not regain compliance by September 15, 2025, then NASDAQ will notify Orion of its determination to delist the Company's common stock from trading on NASDAQ. Although Orion would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel, under NASDAQ rules, Orion's delisting from NASDAQ would be effective on or about September 16, 2025.
Orion intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and likely will need to seek to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock to regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement by September 15, 2025 in order to avoid delisting. Orion is seeking shareholder approval at its 2025 annual shareholder meeting to authorize the Board of Directors to implement a reverse stock split with a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-100. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement, even if it maintains compliance with the other NASDAQ listing requirements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issued: Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements relating to expenses shown on the income statement. The amendments in the update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1 . Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities. 2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4. Disclose the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
8
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
NOTE 3 — REVENUE
Orion generates revenue primarily by selling commercial lighting fixtures and components, installing these fixtures in its customer's facilities, and providing maintenance services including repairs and replacements for the lighting and related electrical components deployed in its customer's facilities. Orion recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606)("ASC 606") when control of the goods or services being provided (which Orion refers to as a performance obligation) is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration management expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Prices are generally fixed at the time of order confirmation, either for the contract as a whole or for the hourly rates that will be charged for the type of maintenance services delivered. The amount of expected consideration includes estimated deductions and early payment discounts calculated based on historical experience, customer rebates based on agreed upon terms applied to actual and projected sales levels over the rebate period, and any amounts paid to customers in conjunction with fulfilling a performance obligation.
The sale of charging stations and related software subscriptions, renewals and extended warranty is presented in Product revenue. Orion is the principal in the sales of charging stations as it has control of the physical products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily software subscriptions, renewals, and extended warranty, Orion is the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes at the point in time upon providing access of the content to the customer.
The sale of installation and services related to the EV charging business is presented in Service revenue. Revenue from the EV segment that includes both the sale of product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue from the lighting maintenance offering that includes both the sale of Orion manufactured or sourced product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 8 — LEASES
From time to time, Orion leases assets from third parties. Orion also leases certain assets to third parties.
Under ASC 842, both finance and operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with initial terms in excess of 12 months are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Orion recognizes lease expense for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, referred to as short term leases, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Orion provides long-term financing to one customer who engages Orion in large turnkey projects that span between three and nine months. The customer executes an agreement providing for monthly payments, at a fixed monthly amount, of the contract price, plus interest, over typically a five-year period. The total transaction price in these contracts is allocated between product and services in the same manner as all other turnkey projects. The portion of the transaction associated with the installation is accounted for consistently with all other installation related performance obligations under ASC 606.
While Orion retains ownership of the light fixtures during the financing period, the transaction terms and the underlying economics associated with used lighting fixtures results in Orion essentially ceding ownership of the lighting fixtures to the customer after completion of the agreement. Therefore, the portions of the transaction associated with the sale of the multiple individual light fixtures is accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842.
Revenues, and production and acquisition costs, associated with sales-type leases are included in Product revenue and Cost of product revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These amounts are recorded for each fixture separately based on the customer’s monthly acknowledgment that specified fixtures have been installed and are operating as specified. The execution of the acknowledgment is considered the commencement date as defined in ASC 842.
The following chart shows the amount of revenue and cost of sales arising from sales-type leases during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 11 — NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and does not consider common stock equivalents.
Diluted net loss per common share reflects the dilution that would occur if restricted shares were vested. In the computation of diluted net loss per common share, Orion uses the treasury stock method for outstanding options and restricted shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Orion was in a net loss position; therefore, the Basic and Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal because any increase to the basic shares would be anti-dilutive.

Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 29, 2020, Orion entered into a $
The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of Orion's assets
15
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are permitted in the form of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), or prime rate-based loans and generally bear interest at floating rates plus an applicable margin determined by reference to Orion's availability under the Credit Agreement. Among other fees, Orion is required to pay an annual facility fee and a fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement includes a springing minimum fixed cost coverage ratio of
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and other covenants, including certain restrictions on Orion's ability to incur additional indebtedness, consolidate or merge, enter into acquisitions, pay any dividend or distribution on Orion's stock, redeem, retire or purchase shares of Orion's stock, make investments or pledge or transfer assets. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lender may cease making advances under the Credit Agreement and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if Orion becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable.
Effective November 4, 2022, Orion, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 1"). The primary purpose of Amendment No. 1 was to include the assets of the acquired subsidiaries, Stay-Lite Lighting, Inc. ("Stay-Lite") and Voltrek, as secured collateral under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, eligible assets of Stay-Lite and Voltrek will be included in the borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing the monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 1 also clarified that the earn-out liabilities associated with the Stay-Lite and Voltrek transactions are permitted under the Credit Agreement and that the expenses recognized in connection with those earn-outs should be added back in the computation of EBITDA, as defined, under the Credit Agreement.
Effective April 22, 2024, the Company, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 2 to its Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”). The primary purpose of Amendment No. 2 was to add a $
Effective October 30, 2024, the Company, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to its Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of Amendment No. 3 was to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility from December 29, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
As of June 30, 2025, Orion was in compliance with all debt covenants.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES
Orion’s income tax provision was determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon the facts and circumstances known, to book loss before income tax, adjusting for discrete items. Orion’s actual effective tax rate is adjusted each interim period, as appropriate, for changes in facts and circumstances. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Orion recorded income tax expense of $
As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, Orion had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset balance. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination is made.
As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the more or less of its deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be reflected in the company’s provision for income taxes.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of June 30, 2025, Orion’s balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $
Orion has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other long-term liabilities to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one year. Orion recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income tax (benefit) expense. Penalties and interest are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 16 — RESTRICTED SHARES

The Amended 2016 Plan increased the number of shares of Orion’s common stock available for issuance under the Amended 2016 Plan from
The Amended 2016 Plan authorizes grants of equity-based and incentive cash awards to eligible participants designated by the Plan's administrator. Awards under the Amended 2016 Plan may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, incentive awards or dividend equivalent units.
The Amended 2016 Plan also permits accelerated vesting in the event of certain changes of control of Orion as well as under other special circumstances. Certain non-employee directors have from time to time elected to receive stock awards in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to elections made under Orion’s non-employee director compensation program.

NOTE 17 — SEGMENT DATA
Reportable segments are components of an entity that have separate financial data that the entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews when allocating resources and assessing performance. Orion's CODM is the chief executive officer. The Company's CODM focuses primarily on each segment's ability to generate sufficient revenues and manage cost of services along with operating expenses. As such, the CODM measures operating performance at the segment level based on operating income or loss, including evaluation of budget to actual variances. Orion evaluates and reports on the business using three segments: lighting segment, maintenance segment and electric vehicle charging segment (“EV segment”).
Lighting Segment
The lighting segment develops and sells lighting products and provides construction and engineering services for Orion's commercial lighting and energy management systems. The lighting segment provides engineering, design, lighting products and in many cases turnkey solutions for large national accounts, governments, municipalities, schools and other customers mostly through direct sales and also sells lighting products though manufacturer representative agencies and to the wholesale contractor markets through energy service companies and contractors.
Maintenance Segment
The maintenance segment provides retailers, distributors and other businesses with maintenance, repair and replacement services for the lighting and related electrical components deployed in their facilities.
19
EV Segment
The EV segment offers leading electric vehicle charging expertise, sells and installs sourced electric vehicle charging stations with related software subscriptions and renewals and provides EV turnkey installation solutions with ongoing support to all commercial verticals.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other is comprised of operating expenses not allocated to Orion’s segments and adjustments to reconcile to consolidated results.

NOTE 18 — RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE
As part of Orion's restructuring effort in fiscal 2025, we entered into certain retention bonus agreements with certain key employees. The remainder of those retention bonuses were paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and are not anticipated to recur. In addition, an inventory write-off was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for inventory related to a customer Orion no longer does business with due to the restructuring, along with a lease breakage fee that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal
21
2025 due to the closing of the Pewaukee office.

NOTE 19 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 23, 2025, we entered into the Term Sheet with respect to our remaining earn-out obligations owed to Final Frontier pursuant to the Voltrek Acquisition, and on July 31, 2025, we entered into the Term Sheet Amendment. Pursuant to the Term Sheet Amendment, we agreed to pay Final Frontier the previously agreed upon $875,000 payment in full and final payment of our fiscal 2024 Voltrek Acquisition earn-out obligation as follows: $500,000 was paid on August 1, 2025 and the remaining $375,000 will be paid on September 3, 2025.
On August 4, 2025, we received a letter from Final Frontier disagreeing with our calculation of the Voltrek Acquisition earn out payment for fiscal 2025 and the cumulative Voltrek Acquisition earn out payment for the three-year period ended March 31, 2025. We are in the process of assessing the letter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q, as well as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, prospects, financial condition, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “should”, “intend”, “plan”, “will”, “expects”, “estimates”, “projects”, “positioned”, “strategy”, “outlook” and similar words. You should read the statements that contain these types of words carefully. Such forward-looking statements are subject to several risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. There may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview
We provide state-of-the-art light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting systems, wireless Internet of Things (“IoT”) enabled control solutions, project engineering, energy project management design and maintenance services and electric vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure solutions. We help our customers achieve their sustainability, energy savings and carbon footprint reduction goals through innovative technology and exceptional service. We research, design, develop, manufacture, market, sell, install, and implement energy management systems consisting primarily of high-performance, energy-efficient commercial and industrial interior and exterior LED lighting systems and related services. Our products are targeted for applications in the following segments: commercial office and retail, area lighting, industrial applications and government, although we do sell and install products into other markets. Our services consist of turnkey installation and system maintenance. Virtually all of our sales occur within North America.
Our principal lighting customers include large national account end-users, electrical distributors, electrical contractors and energy service companies (“ESCOs”). Currently, a significant amount of our interior lighting products are manufactured at our leased production facility located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, although as the LED and related IoT market continues to evolve, we are increasingly sourcing products and components from third parties in order to provide versatility in our product development and offerings.
We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by offering very efficient light fixtures (measured in lumens per watt) coupled with our project management services to national account customers to retrofit their multiple locations. Our comprehensive services include initial site surveys and audits, utility incentive and government subsidy management, engineering design, and project management from delivery through to installation and controls integration. In addition, we began to offer lighting and electrical maintenance services in fiscal 2021. We believe that providing these services enables us to support a long-term business relationship with our customers and results in an increase in our recurring revenue. We completed the acquisition of Stay-Lite on January 1, 2022, which further expanded our maintenance services capabilities. On October 5, 2022, we acquired Voltrek, LLC ("Voltrek"), which leveraged our project management and maintenance expertise in the EV sector.
We believe the market for LED lighting products and related controls continues to grow. Due to their size and flexibility in application, we also believe that LED lighting systems can address opportunities for retrofit applications that cannot be satisfied
23
by other lighting technologies. Our LED technologies have become the primary component of our revenue as we continue to strive to be a leader in the LED market.
We see opportunity to cross-sell our three platforms of lighting, maintenance services and EV charging installation systems to our commercial and industrial customer base. We are pursuing opportunities to cross-sell to direct customers, as well as through select partners. We also see opportunity for further integration of our service capabilities to expand our geographic reach and we intend to pursue growth organically.
Other than our multi-year maintenance service contracts, we generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers for product or turnkey services that provide us with recurring annual revenue. We typically generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of lighting and control systems and related services to governmental, commercial and industrial customers on a project-by-project basis. We also perform work under global services or product purchasing agreements with major customers with sales completed on a purchase order basis. The loss of, or substantial reduction in sales to, any of our significant customers, or our current single largest customer, or the termination or delay of a significant volume of purchase orders by one or more key customers, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any given future period.
We typically sell our lighting systems in replacement of our customers’ lighting fixtures. We call this replacement process a "retrofit". We frequently engage our customer's existing electrical contractor to provide installation and project management services. We also sell our lighting systems on a wholesale basis, principally to electrical distributors and ESCOs to sell to their own customer bases.
The gross margins of our products can vary significantly depending upon the types of products we sell, with margins typically ranging from 10% to 50%. As a result, a change in the total mix of our sales among higher or lower margin products can cause our profitability to fluctuate from period to period.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31. We refer to our current fiscal year which ends on March 31, 2026 as "fiscal 2026". We refer to our most recently completed fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2025, as “fiscal 2025”, and our prior fiscal year which ended on March 31, 2024 as "fiscal 2024". Our fiscal first quarter of each fiscal year ends on June 30, our fiscal second quarter ends on September 30, our fiscal third quarter ends on December 31, and our fiscal fourth quarter ends on March 31.
Recent Developments
Replacement of our CEO
On April 14, 2025, Michael Jenkins' employment was terminated by Orion, with our Board appointing Sally A. Washlow as our new Chief Executive Officer, effective as of Mr. Jenkins' termination date.
As a result of the termination, Mr. Jenkins received approximately $633 thousand in severance and the acceleration of approximately 322 thousand restricted stock awards. Mr. Jenkins forfeited approximately 646 thousand performance shares along with approximately $170 thousand in tandem cash awards. Additionally, Mr. Jenkins forfeited restricted stock awards not vesting within two years from the termination date, which was a forfeiture of approximately 78 thousand shares.
On April 14, 2025, we entered into an Executive Employment and Severance Agreement with Ms. Washlow (the "Employment Agreement"). The Employment Agreement provides Ms. Washlow with the following compensation arrangements: (i) an annual base salary of $382,500, provided that if our other named executive officers' base salaries are returned to their pre-reduction levels, then Ms. Washlow's base salary will also be similarly adjusted up to $425,000; (ii) a target annual bonus of 100% (threshold 80% and maximum of 200%) of her base salary upon our relative achievement of executive incentive plan performance targets for each fiscal year; (iii) a special bonus of $100,000 if we achieve a stretch goal of $100 million in revenue for fiscal 2026; (iv) a cash signing bonus of $500,000, approximately $300,000 of was required to be used by Ms. Washlow to purchase shares of our common stock directly from us; (v) a pre-change of control severance multiplier of 1.5x and a post-change of control severance multiplier of 2.0x; (vi) an initial equity grant consisting of a non-qualified stock option exercisable for a total of 500,000 shares of our common stock; and (vii) certain other benefits and perquisites. On May 29, 2025,
24
our board and Ms. Washlow mutually agreed to defer Ms. Washlow's cash signing bonus and related direct purchase of common stock for up to one year, with the timing of such cash signing bonus and related direct purchase of our common stock to be reviewed quarterly and mutually agreed upon by the compensation committee and Ms. Washlow.
Voltrek Earn-Out
Effective on October 5, 2022, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interest of Voltrek, a leading electric vehicle charging company that provides turnkey installation solutions with ongoing support to all commercial verticals.The initial purchase price consisted of $5.0 million cash and $1.0 million of common stock. We also paid $3.0 million in initial earn-out payments based on Voltrek's financial performance in fiscal 2023. We may owe additional material earn-out payments based on Voltrek's financial performance in fiscal 2025. We have currently accrued an estimated liability of approximately $3.3 million for such remaining earn-out payments.
On June 23, 2025, we entered into a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") with respect to our remaining earn-out obligations owed to Final Frontier pursuant to our October 5, 2022 acquisition of Voltrek, and on July 31, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Term Sheet (the "Term Sheet Amendment"). Pursuant to the Term Sheet and Term Sheet Amendment, we agreed to pay Final Frontier $875,000 in full and final payment of our fiscal 2024 Voltrek acquisition earn-out obligations as follows: $500,000 was paid on August 1, 2025 and the remaining $375,000 will be paid on September 3, 2025. We also agreed with Final Frontier to submit the final determination of our fiscal 2025 and aggregate fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2025 earn-out obligations to binding arbitration if not otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. We agreed to pay Final Frontier the finally determined remaining earn-out amount as follows; (i) $1.0 million in our common stock was issued on July 16, 2025 and (ii) the remaining amount will be paid pursuant to the anticipated Senior Subordinated Note. We agreed to pay monthly principal payments to Final Frontier on the anticipated Senior Subordinated Note of $25,000 beginning on January 15, 2026, which will increase to $50,000 on July 15, 2026 through maturity. We will also pay interest monthly to Final Frontier at the annual rate of 7% beginning on July 15, 2025. We have the right to pay up to 20% of the remaining outstanding earn-out amount at maturity in shares of our common stock. The anticipated Senior Subordinated Note will be subordinated to our senior credit facilities with Bank of America and will be secured by a second lien on all of our assets. We and Final Frontier agreed to use our respective commercially reasonable best efforts to agree to final documentation further reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet within 30 days of entering into the Term Sheet.
The final earn-out amount determined to be owed by us could be in excess of our current accrued liability for such earn-out amount and could materially adversely affect our future liquidity.
Replacing Reduced Revenue from Primary Customer
In fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, one customer accounted for 24.3%, 25.2% and 16.2% of our total revenue, respectively. In fiscal 2026, we expect that our customer concentration will continue at the approximate range experienced in fiscal 2025 and 2024. We continue to attempt to diversify our customer base by expanding our reach to national accounts, ESCOs, the agent driven distribution channel, lighting maintenance customers and the EV market.

* NM - Not Meaningful
Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin. Product revenue increased 5.8%, or $0.7 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Service revenue decreased 15.1%, or $1.1 million, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The resulting decrease in total revenue was due to decreased revenue in the EV segment because of lower volume. Cost of product revenue increased by 3.3%, or $0.3 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus the comparable period in fiscal 2025. Cost of service revenue decreased by 31.3%, or $2.2 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus the comparable period in fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower volume and the restructuring efforts made in fiscal 2025. Gross margin increased from 21.6% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 to 30.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, due primarily to increased margins in all three segments.
Operating Expenses
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 5.3%, or $0.2 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This comparative decrease was primarily due to decreased wages and benefits as a result of the restructuring that took place in fiscal 2025, which was partially offset by a one-time sign on bonus related to the hiring of Orion's new CEO.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 17.7%, or $0.5 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This comparative decrease was primarily due to the decreased wages and benefits as a result of the restructuring that took place in fiscal 2025.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 21.2%, or $0.1 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

EV segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased by 29.6%, or $1.1 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in revenue compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was due to a lower revenue volume to municipalities. Operating loss increased $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 due to the decreased revenues mentioned above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our existing cash and operating cash flow provide us with the financial flexibility needed to meet our capital requirements, including to fund our budgeted capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least one year from the date of this report, as well as our longer-term capital requirements for periods beyond at least one year from the date of this report.
We had approximately $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, compared to $6.0 million at March 31, 2025. Our cash position decreased as a result of an operating loss along with a $1.8 million repayment of debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Our future liquidity needs and forecasted cash flows are dependent upon many factors, including our relative revenue, gross margins, cash management practices, cost containment, working capital management and capital expenditures. While we believe that we will likely have adequate available cash and equivalents and credit availability under our credit agreement to satisfy our currently anticipated working capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months based on our current cash flow forecast, if we experience significant liquidity constraints, we may be required to issue equity or debt securities, reduce our sales efforts, implement additional cost savings initiatives or undertake other efforts to conserve our cash.
Cash Flows

Cash Flows Related to Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities primarily consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt issue costs, provisions for reserves, and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
Cash used in operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2026 was $0.5 million and consisted of our net loss of $1.2 million adjusted for non-cash expense items and net cash provided in changes in operating assets of $0.7 million, the largest of which were inventories, depreciation, amortization, and prepaids, totaling $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in accounts receivable.
Cash used in operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2025 was $3.0 million and consisted of our net loss of $3.8 million adjusted for non-cash expense items and net cash provided by changes in operating assets of $0.6 million, the largest of which was a $3.9 million decrease in accounts payable, which was mostly offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories.
Cash Flows Related to Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities of $55 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2026 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.
Cash used in investing activities of $24 thousand in the first three months of fiscal 2025 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds.
28
Cash Flows Related to Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to payments on our revolving credit facility and long-term debt.
Cash provided by financing activities of $3.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily due to the term loan discussed in Note 12 above, which was partially offset by payments on long-term debt.
Working Capital
Our net working capital as of June 30, 2025 was $6.1 million, consisting of $32.7 million in current assets and $26.6 million in current liabilities. Our net working capital as of March 31, 2025 was $8.7 million, consisting of $35.5 million in current assets and $26.8 million in current liabilities.
We generally attempt to maintain at least a three-month supply of on-hand inventory of purchased components and raw materials to meet anticipated demand, as well as to reduce our risk of unexpected raw material or component shortages or supply interruptions. Our accounts receivables, inventory, payables and unbilled revenue may increase to the extent our revenue and order levels increase.
Indebtedness
Revolving Credit Agreement
Our credit agreement provides for a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on June 30, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base requirement based on eligible receivables, inventory and cash. As of June 30, 2025, the borrowing base supported approximately $11.5 million of availability under the Credit Facility, with $5.3 million drawn against that availability. As of June 30, 2024, the borrowing base supported approximately $18.3 million of availability under the Credit Facility, with $10.0 million drawn against that availability.
The credit agreement is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of our assets.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are permitted in the form of SOFR or prime rate-based loans and generally bear interest at floating rates plus an applicable margin determined by reference to our availability under the Credit Agreement. Among other fees, we are required to pay an annual facility fee of $15,000 and a fee of 25 basis points on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.
The credit agreement includes a springing minimum fixed cost coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 when excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below $4.0 million of the committed facility. Currently, the required springing minimum fixed cost coverage ratio is not required.
Voltrek Earn-Out
Effective on October 5, 2022, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Voltrek, a leading electric vehicle charging company that provides turnkey installation solutions with ongoing support to all commercial verticals. The initial purchase price consisted of $5.0 million cash and $1.0 million of common stock. We also paid $3.0 million in initial earn-out payments based on Voltrek’s financial performance in fiscal 2023. We may owe additional material earn-out payments based on Voltrek’s financial performance in fiscal 2025. We have currently accrued an estimated liability of approximately $3.3 million for such remaining earn-out payments.
On June 23, 2025, we entered into the Term Sheet with respect to our remaining earn-out obligations owed to Final Frontier pursuant to our October 5, 2022 acquisition of Voltrek, and on July 31, 2025, we entered into the Term Sheet Amendment. Pursuant to the Term Sheet and the Term Sheet Amendment, we agreed to pay Final Frontier $875,000 in full and final payment of our fiscal 2024 Voltrek acquisition earn-out obligations as follows: $500,000 was paid on August 1, 2025 and the remaining $375,000 will be paid on September 3, 2025. We also agreed with Final Frontier to submit the final determination of our fiscal
29
2025 and aggregate fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2025 earn-out obligations to binding arbitration if not otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. We agreed to pay to Final Frontier the finally determined remaining earn-out amount as follows: (i) $1.0 million in our common stock was issued on July 16, 2025 and (ii) the remaining amount pursuant to the anticipated Senior Subordinated Note. We agreed to pay monthly principal payments to Final Frontier on the anticipated Senior Subordinated Note of $25,000 beginning on January 15, 2026, which will increase to $50,000 on July 15, 2026 through maturity. We will also pay interest monthly to Final Frontier at the annual rate of 7% beginning on July 15, 2025. We have the right to pay up to 20% of the remaining outstanding earn-out amount at maturity in shares of our common stock. The anticipated Senior Subordinated Note will be subordinated to our senior credit facilities with Bank of America and will be secured by a second lien on all of our assets. We and Final Frontier agreed to use our respective commercially reasonable best efforts to agree to final documentation further reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet within 30 days of entering into the Term Sheet.
The final earn-out amount determined to be owed by us could be in excess of our current accrued liability for such earn-out amount and could materially adversely affect our future liquidity.
Backlog
Backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize in the future as a result of firm, committed purchase orders. Backlog totaled $19.0 million and $17.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. We generally expect our backlog to be recognized as revenue within one year. Backlog does not include any amounts for contracted maintenance services.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
