Zeo Energy Corp.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zeo Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Zeo”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified and separately presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement,” which requires a newly-formed joint venture to apply a new basis of accounting to its contributed net assets, resulting in the joint venture initially measuring its contributed net assets at fair value on the formation date. ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted for joint ventures formed before the effective date. The adoption of ASU 2023-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the statement of operations. The standard also requires disclosure of qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12—NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing
the net loss by the weighted-average number of class A common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is calculated
by adjusting the weighted-average number of class A common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common share equivalents.
Common share equivalents whose effect would be antidilutive are not included in diluted loss per share. The Company uses the treasury
stock method to determine the dilutive effect, which assumes that all class A common share equivalents have been exercised at the beginning
of the period and that the funds obtained from those exercises were used to repurchase class A common shares at the average closing market
price during the period. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were

Overview
Our company and personnel are passionate about delivering cost savings and increased independence and reliability to energy consumers. Our mission is to expedite the country’s transition to renewable energy by offering our customers an affordable and sustainable means of achieving energy independence. We are a vertically integrated company offering energy solutions and services that include sale, design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of residential solar energy systems. Many of our solar energy system customers also purchase other energy efficient-related equipment or services or roofing services from us. The majority of our customers are located in Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, and Illinois, and we have an expanding base of customers in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, and Virginia. Sunergy was created on October 1, 2021 through the Contribution of Sun First Energy, LLC, a rapidly growing solar sales management company, and Sunergy Solar, LLC, a large solar installation company based in Florida, to Sunergy Renewables, LLC.
We believe that we have built (and continue to build) the infrastructure and capabilities necessary to rapidly acquire and serve customers in a low-cost and scalable manner. Today, our scalable regional operating platform provides us with a number of advantages, including the marketing of our solar service offerings through multiple channels, including our diverse sales partner network and direct-to-consumer vertically integrated sales and installation operations. We believe that this multi-channel model supports rapid sales and installation growth, allowing us to achieve capital-efficient growth in the regional markets we serve.
Since our founding, we have continued to invest in a platform of services and tools to enable large scale operations for us and our partner network, which includes sales partners, installation partners and other strategic partners. The platform includes processes and software, as well as the capacity for the fulfillment and acquisition of marketing leads. We believe our platform empowers our in-house sales team and external sales dealers to profitably serve our regional and underpenetrated markets and helps us compete effectively against larger, more established industry players without making significant investment in technology and infrastructure.
19
We have focused to date on a simple, capital light business strategy utilizing, as of June 30, 2025, approximately 280 sales agents and approximately 12 independent sales dealers to produce our sales pipeline. We engineer and design projects and process building permit applications on behalf of our customers to timely install their systems and assist their connections to the local utility power grid. Most of the equipment we install is drop-shipped to the installation site by our regional distributors, requiring minimal inventory to be held by the Company during any given period. We depend on our distributors to timely handle logistics and related requirements in moving equipment to the installation sites. In addition to our main offering of residential solar energy systems, we sell and install products such as roofing, insulation, energy efficient appliances and battery storage systems for the residential market.
Our core solar service offerings are paid for by customer purchases and financed through either third-party long-term lenders or third-party operators who offer leasing products that provide customers with simple, predictable pricing for solar energy that is insulated from rising retail electricity prices. Most of our customers finance their purchases with affordable loans or leases that require minimal or no upfront capital or down payment.
Recent Developments
On July 1, 2025, the Company converted approximately $2.55 million of outstanding accounts payable with a vendor into a note payable with the same vendor. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 18% (1.5% monthly) and provides for scheduled principal payments beginning in July 2025, with maturity on August 22, 2024. The transaction reduced the Company’s accounts payable and established a formal financing arrangement under the stated terms.
Heliogen Acquisition
On May 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Heliogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Heliogen”), Zeo Energy, Hyperion Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Zeo Energy (“Merger Sub I”) and Hyperion Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Zeo Energy (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”). On August 8, 2025, Merger Sub I merged with and into Heliogen (the “First Merger”), with Heliogen surviving the First Merger (Heliogen, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the “First Surviving Corporation”) with the First Surviving Corporation becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Zeo Energy, and immediately following the First Merger, the First Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Zeo Energy.
Consideration to Heliogen Stockholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”) on August 8, 2025, each share of common stock of Heliogen (the “Heliogen Common Stock”) (other than Heliogen Common Stock held by Zeo Energy, Heliogen or their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time) was canceled and was automatically converted into the right to receive (i) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), without interest (the “Share Merger Consideration”), and (ii) if applicable, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent, in lieu of any fractional share interest in Class A Common Stock to which such holder otherwise would have been entitled (together with the Share Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any required tax withholding.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is 0.9591 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Heliogen Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Mergers, taken together, constitute a single integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Mergers are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers was registered under the Securities Act, pursuant to (i) Zeo Energy’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-288489) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2025 and declared effective on July 11, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement contains additional information about the Mergers, including information concerning the interests of directors, executive officers and affiliates of Heliogen and Zeo Energy in the Mergers.

Treatment of Heliogen RSUs
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) relating to shares of Heliogen Common Stock (whether vested or unvested) was automatically accelerated and fully vested and cancelled and each holder thereof became entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Heliogen Common Stock covered by such RSU, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding.
Treatment of Heliogen Options
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option to purchase Heliogen Common Stock (the “Heliogen Options”) automatically accelerated such that all Heliogen Options were fully vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. All Heliogen Options had an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Per Share Purchase Price and therefore were cancelled without payment of consideration. There were no Heliogen Options “in the money.”
Treatment of Heliogen Warrants
As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, Heliogen had outstanding certain “Commercial Warrants” and “SPAC Warrants”. Commercial Warrants refer to the warrants to purchase shares of Heliogen Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per share of Heliogen Common Stock. SPAC Warrants refer to certain redeemable warrants exercisable to purchase one share of Heliogen Common Stock at an exercise price of $402.50 per share.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Commercial Warrant was accelerated to be fully vested in accordance with its terms. At the Effective Time, to the extent such Commercial Warrant was unexercised as of the Effective Time, each outstanding Commercial Warrant was automatically cancelled without any payment of consideration (including Merger Consideration) therefore, and each outstanding and unexercised SPAC Warrant automatically ceased to represent a SPAC Warrant and became a right to purchase and receive, in lieu of shares of Heliogen Common Stock, the portion of the Merger Consideration that such holder would have received if such holder had exercised such SPAC Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of that certain warrant agreement.
Key Operating and Financial Metrics and Outlook
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe the operating and financial metrics presented below are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures by our public competitors and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures, as they are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net (loss) income or net (loss) income margin, respectively, calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We define gross profit as revenue, net less cost of goods sold and depreciation and amortization related to cost of goods sold, and define gross margin, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of gross profit to revenue, net. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Gross Profit and Gross Margin.
21
Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin
We define contribution profit as revenue, net less direct costs of revenue, commissions expense and depreciation and amortization, and define contribution margin, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of contribution profit to revenue, net. Contribution profit and margin can be used to understand our financial performance and efficiency and allows investors to evaluate our pricing strategy and compare against competitors. Our management uses these metrics to make strategic decisions, identify areas for improvement, set targets for future performance and make informed decisions about how to allocate resources going forward. Contributions margin reflects our Contribution profit as a percentage of revenues. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Gross Profit to Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, other income (expenses), net, and stock compensation, as adjusted to exclude merger transaction related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Key Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations
Our financial results of operations may not be comparable from period to period due to several factors. Key factors affecting the results of our operations are summarized below.
Expansion of Residential Sales into New Markets. Our future revenue growth is, in part, dependent on our ability to expand our product offerings and services in the select residential markets where we operate in Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia and Ohio. We primarily generate revenue from our sales, product offerings and services in the residential housing market. To continue our growth, we intend to expand our presence in the residential market into additional states based on markets underserved by national sales and installation providers that also have favorable incentives and net metering policies. We believe that our entry into new markets will continue to facilitate revenue growth and customer diversification.
Expansion of New Products and Services. In 2025, we continued our roofing replacements to facilitate our solar installations and to repair rooftops on homes in Florida damaged by severe weather. We plan to expand our roofing business in all markets we enter in the future. Roofing facilitates a faster processing time for our solar installations in cases where the customer is in need of a roof replacement prior to installing a solar system. In addition, to provide more financing options for our prospective residential solar energy customers, we have programs in place that allow our customers to choose a leasing option to finance their systems from a third party.
Adding New Customers and Expansion of Sales with Existing Customers. We intend to increase our in-house sales force and external sales dealers in order to target new customers in the Southern U.S. regional residential markets. We provide competitive compensation packages to our in-house sales teams and external sales dealers, which incentivizes the acquisition of new customers.
Inflation. We are seeing an increase in the costs of labor and components as the result of higher inflation rates. In particular, we are experiencing an increase in raw material costs and supply chain constraints, and trade tariffs imposed on certain products from China. We also see an increase in materials used to achieve the required minimum domestic content to maximize incentive tax credits. These increases in material and labor costs may continue to put pressure on our operating margins. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the specific amount of cost increases attributable to inflationary pressures.
Interest rates. Interest rates increased sharply in 2022 but have been relatively stable since. The majority of homeowners have opted to enter into a lease contract with a third-party operator as means of financing the installation of a solar system. The lease contract provides a lower monthly cost to the homeowner than a conventional loan product in a higher interest rate environment. We do not have information that allows us to quantify the adverse effects attributable to increased interest rates.
Managing our Supply Chain. We rely on contract manufacturers and suppliers to produce our components. Our suppliers are generally meeting our materials needs. Our ability to grow depends, in part, on the ability of our contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide high quality services and deliver components and finished products on time and at reasonable costs. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays and/or price increases in raw materials, electronic components and freight, it could delay the installation of our systems, which would adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue and contribution margin.

Components of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue, net
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of our residential solar systems. Our systems are fully functional at the time of installation and require an inspection prior to interconnection to the utility power grid. We sell our systems primarily direct to end user customers for use in their residences. Upon installation inspection, we satisfy our performance obligation and recognize revenue. Most of the Company’s customers finance their obligations with third parties. Most finance arrangements are by way of a lease contract with a third-party operator. Some customers utilize debt financing. In these situations, the finance company deducts their financing fees and remits the net amount to the Company. Revenue is recorded net of these financing fees (and/or dealer fees).
The volume of sales and installations of rooftop solar systems, our primary product, increase from April to September when a majority of our sales teams are most active in our areas of service. In addition to sales of solar systems, “adders” or accessories to a sale may include roofing, energy efficient appliances, upgraded insulation and/or energy storage systems. All adders consisted of less than 10% of the total revenue, net in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Our revenue is affected by changes in the volume, system size and average selling prices of our solutions and related accessories, supply and demand, sales incentives and fluctuating interest rates that increase or decrease the monthly payments for customers purchasing systems through third party financing. Less than 5% of our sales were paid in cash by the customer in each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Our revenue growth is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the marketplace by remaining cost competitive, developing and introducing new sales teams within existing and new territories, scaling our installation teams to keep up with demand and maintaining a strong internal operations team to process orders while working with building departments and utilities to permit and interconnect our customers to the utility grid.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs (including solar panels, inverters, metal racking, connectors, shingles, wiring, warranty costs and logistics costs), installation labor and permitting costs.
Cost of goods sold decreased in association with a reduction in revenues. Revenues declined because of the effect of higher interest rates on the consumer financing rates. The increased cost of consumer lending has reduced the advantage provided by financed solar power relative to standard utility costs, which has negatively affected the demand for our products.
Revenue, net less cost of goods sold may vary from period-to-period and is primarily affected by our average selling prices, financing or dealer fees, fluctuations in equipment costs and our ability to effectively and timely deploy our field installation teams to project sites once permitting departments have approved the design and engineering of systems on customer sites.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of each of these expense categories and include salaries, benefits and payroll taxes.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses including sales commissions, as well as advertising, travel, trade shows, marketing, customer support and other indirect costs. We expect to continue to make the necessary investments to enable us to execute our strategy to increase our market penetration geographically and enter into new markets by expanding our base sales teams, installers and strategic sales dealer and partner network.
23
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our non-direct labor operations, executive, finance, human resources, information technology, software, facilities costs and fees for professional services. Fees for professional services consist primarily of outside legal, accounting and information technology consulting costs.
Depreciation and amortization consist primarily of depreciation of our vehicles, furniture and fixtures, internally developed software and amortization of our acquired intangibles.
Other income (expenses), net
Other income (expenses), net primarily consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities and interest expense and fees under our equipment and vehicle term loans. It also includes interest income on our cash balances, and accrued interest

Revenue, net
Revenue, net increased by approximately $3.3 million. The primary reason for the increase is due to an increase in revenues with our related-party third-party operator.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased by $0.2 million. The increase was a result of the increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold declined from 47.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 40.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decline was driven by an increase in the average selling price of our contracts to our customers compared to the prior year.
24
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.7 million, from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of the cost of acquired contracts from the Lumio Asset Purchase Agreement.
General and Administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million from $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in stock compensation expenses and $0.6 million decrease in bade debt expense offset by a $0.9 million increase in payroll related expenses and $0.5m increase in expenses related to being a public company, software, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.2 million. The increase was a result of a efforts to expand our selling process to include year-round sales through digital lead generation.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net decreased from other income of $829,013 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to other expense of $12,952 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a gain on fair value of warrant liabilities in the prior period.

Revenue, net
Revenue, net decreased by approximately $8.0 million. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was a decrease in deferred revenue recognized in first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 benefited from systems which were installed at the end of 2023 but for which revenue was not able to be recognized in 2024.
25
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by $8.9 million. The decrease was a result of the decrease in revenue as noted above. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold improved from 60.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 45.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This improvement was driven primarily by the impact of the costs associated with the deferred revenue in 2023 being deferred to 2024. There were no similar costs in 2025.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.2 million, from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the amortization of the cost of acquired contracts from the Lumio Asset Purchase Agreement.
General and Administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $6.6 million from $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll costs associated with additional staffing, including stock compensation and higher professional fees associated with being a public company. The Company also recorded an additional reserve for bad debt of $3.2 million related to finance partners who have filed for bankruptcy and have discontinued making payments.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $3.2 million from $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily a result of a $2.5 million reduction in stock compensation expense and less commissions earned due to the decrease in revenue.
Other income, net
Other income, net increased by $46,792 from $655,791 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $702,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on fair value of warrant liabilities, a decrease in interest expense, and a decrease in the gain on the disposition of assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of funding to support operations have historically been from cash flows from operations. Our primary short-term requirements for liquidity and capital are to fund general working capital and capital expenses. Our principal long-term working capital uses include ensuring revenue growth, expanding our sales and marketing efforts and potential acquisitions.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents balance were $68,691 and $5,634,115, respectively. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts.
Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and extent of our spending to support further sales and marketing, the degree to which we are successful in launching new business initiatives and the cost associated with these initiatives, and the growth of our business generally.
In order to finance these opportunities and associated costs, it is possible that we will need to raise additional capital through either debt or equity financing if the proceeds realized from the Business Combination are insufficient to support our business needs.
We believe that the proceeds realized through the Heliogen business combination will be sufficient to meet our currently contemplated business needs for the next twelve months. If additional financing is required by us from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| For the Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | Change | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (4,549,934 | ) | $ | (12,351,750 | ) | $ | 7,801,816 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (807,025 | ) | (330,829 | ) | (476,196 | ) | ||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (208,465 | ) | 10,002,393 | (10,210,858 | ) | |||||||
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net cash used in operating activities of approximately $12.4 million during six months ended June 30, 2024. The $7.8 million decrease in cash used was primarily driven 1) a $10.2 million increase in cash flows associated with a) positive cash flows from accounts receivable ($5.8 million), prepaids and other current assets ($1.4 million), accounts payable ($4.7 million), and contract liabilities ($4.8 million) offset by b) negative cash flows from a change in contract assets ($6.5 million) and 2) a $2.3 million use of cash from net income resulting form a) increase in net loss ($10.3 million) and less stock compensation expense ($2.3 million) offset by b) increases in non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization ($7.2 million) and the provision for credit losses ($3.0 million).
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, relating to purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.3 million, relating to purchases of property and equipment.
Cash flows used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily relating to the repayment of debt and finance leases. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily relating to cash acquired from the business combination of $10.4 million offset by repayments of debt and finance leases, and distributions of stockholders.
Current Indebtedness
The Company has utilized internally generated positive cashflow to grow the business. Other than approximately $2.5 million in trade-credit with solar equipment distributors, Sunergy has only approximately $0.6 million of debt on service trucks and vehicles valued at approximately $1.3 million, net of depreciation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Therefore, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies.
27
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (ii) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) facilitate external comparisons of the results of our overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin
We define contribution profit as revenue, net less direct costs of revenue, commissions expense and depreciation and amortization, and define contribution margin, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of contribution profit to revenue, net. Contribution profit and margin can be used to understand our financial performance and efficiency and allows investors to evaluate our pricing strategy and compare against competitors. Our management uses these metrics to make strategic decisions, identify areas for improvement, set targets for future performance and make informed decisions about how to allocate resources going forward. Contributions margin reflects our Contribution profit as a percentage of revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) before interest and other income (expenses), net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude merger and acquisition expenses (“M&A expenses”). We utilize Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allow for a more relevant comparison of our results of operations to other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net (loss) income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. The following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, because of material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report, which we are still in the process of remediating, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly represent, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 28, 2025.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, future prospects, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. The risks and uncertainties described therein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.
You should carefully read and consider such risks, together with all of the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the disclosures in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes), and in the other documents that we file with the SEC.
Except for the additional risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, substantial costs in connection with the Mergers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We incurred a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the Mergers. These fees and costs were substantial and, in many cases, were borne entirely by us. A substantial majority of these non-recurring expenses consisted of transaction costs related to the Mergers, including, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors. We continue to assess the magnitude of these costs and may incur additional unanticipated expenses related to post-closing matters. The costs described above, as well as any such additional unanticipated costs and expenses, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
30
If we are unable to effectively manage Heliogen’s business, our reputation and operating results may be harmed.
Following the Mergers, we are required to integrate the products and businesses of Heliogen into the operations of the Company. We may be unable to successfully integrate these into our business operations. If we are unable to do so for any reason, our reputation and operating results may be harmed and we would be unable to realize the business-related benefits of the transaction.
