Management Commentary

“We are pleased to report a 21.3% sequential increase in our fourth quarter revenues and an 86.8% increase in quarterly revenues on a year over year basis” said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEOof Tigo. “These results reflect the continuation of the trend of sequential revenue increases that we have experienced in the last four quarters.”

“We saw revenue growth most notably in the Americas and EMEA regions. Additionally, we continue to gain market share against our competitors while we invest our efforts into strengthening our position in key locations, as emphasized by the events we’ve hosted in Malaysia and Hawaii.”

“For the fourth quarter, we increased our cash by $0.4 million to $19.9 million as we further reduced our inventory and lowered our operating costs. During the quarter, we recorded an inventory charge of $19.5 million, primarily for excess and slow-moving inventory within our GO ESS product line of energy storage solutions, which represented 6% of sales in 2024,” stated Bill Roeschlein, Chief Financial Officer of Tigo. “We recorded a higher net loss on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 compared to the comparable prior periods and absent the charge, our results reflect progress toward profitability on a non-GAAP basis.”

Non-GAAPFinancial Measures


Tosupplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAPfinancial measure: adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or asa substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Weuse adjusted EBITDA for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We defineadjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense (benefit),depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and merger transaction related expenses. We believe thatadjusted EBITDA provides helpful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicativeof our core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessingour performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates management’s internalcomparisons to our historical performance and comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe adjusted EBITDA isuseful to investors both because they (i) allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financialand operational decision-making and (ii) are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the healthof our business.

Theitems excluded from adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, whileothers are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolationof, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Thereare a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specificinformation regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measurestogether with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

Werefer investors to the reconciliation adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) included below. A reconciliation for adjusted EBITDA providedas guidance is not provided because, as a forward-looking statement, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effortdue to the high variability, complexity, and difficulty of estimating certain items such as charges to stock-based compensation expenseand currency fluctuations which could have an impact on our consolidated results.
