New in FY2025

  • Risks Related to the APA Acquisition We may be unable to successfully integrate APA’s business into our business or achieve the anticipated benefits or synergies of the APA Acquisition.
  • Our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits or synergies of the APA Acquisition will depend in part upon whether we can integrate APA’s business into our existing business in an efficient and effective manner.
  • We may not be able to accomplish this integration process successfully.
  • The successful integration of APA’s business requires an assessment and implementation of several factors, including: • the ability to successfully combine our respective businesses in a manner that permits us to achieve the cost savings, synergies and other anticipated benefits from the APA Acquisition; • integrating complex systems, operating procedures, compliance programs, technology, networks and other assets while carrying on our ongoing business in a manner that reduces any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies; and • managing the expanded operations of a larger and more complex company.
  • In addition, any potential unknown liabilities, liabilities that are significantly larger than we currently anticipate, and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the APA Acquisition, including cash costs of integration, may exceed what we currently anticipate.
  • Any one of these factors could result in increased costs, decreased benefits and diversion of management’s attention, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • In addition, even following successful integration, the anticipated benefits or synergies of the APA Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
  • We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the integration of APA’s business into our business.
  • We have incurred and are expected to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the integration of APA’s business into our business, combining the operations of APA with ours and achieving desired synergies.
  • These costs have been, and will continue to be, significant.
  • A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and may include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors and employee retention, severance, and benefit costs.
  • We will also incur costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans.
  • Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of synergies and efficiencies related to the integration of APA’s business, should allow us to offset these transaction costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.
  • We and APA will be subject to business uncertainties following the APA Acquisition, which could adversely affect our business.
  • In connection with the APA Acquisition, it is possible that certain persons with whom we or APA have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with us or APA, as the case may be, as a result of the APA Acquisition, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings and cash flows as well as the market price of our common stock.
  • In addition, our and APA’s ability to attract, retain and motivate employees may be impaired for a period of time following the APA Acquisition, as current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their roles within the Company following the APA Acquisition.
  • We may not be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting for the APA business in a timely manner or once implemented, such controls may not operate effectively.
  • Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
  • Prior to our acquisition thereof, APA, as a privately-held company, had not been required to implement or maintain disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting that a public company is required to have, implement and maintain.
  • Under SEC rules, we have one year from the date of the APA Acquisition to implement such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at APA.
  • Although we are developing a plan designed to implement effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at APA, we cannot assure you that such plans will be fully implemented in a timely manner or that we will be able to successfully implement and maintain the effectiveness of such plans by the time management assesses the effectiveness of our internal controls, including APA, for fiscal year 2026.
  • In addition, during the continuation of our integration efforts, we may identify deficiencies in APA’s controls.
  • Any failure to timely implement effective internal controls could result in, among other things, a decline in the market price of our stock, restatement of our consolidated financial statements, or reputational harm.
  • The viability and demand for solar energy and the demand for our products are impacted by many factors outside of our control, including but not limited to, the cost and availability of necessary raw materials like steel and of in-demand components like high-voltage breakers, various policies related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants, and the availability of incentives for solar energy and products, which makes it difficult to predict our future prospects.
  • While we have been in existence since 1989, we have grown and expanded significantly since then.
  • Some of the factors outside of our control which may impact the viability and demand for solar energy include: • availability and scale and scope of government subsidies and incentives to support the development and deployment of solar energy solutions; • levels of investment by end-users of solar energy products, which tend to decrease when economic growth slows; • policies and backlog related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants to which we supply our products; • the emergence, continuance or success of, or increased government support for, other energy generation technologies and products; • the cost and availability of raw materials necessary to produce solar energy, including steel and polysilicon, and in-demand components like high-voltage breakers; • regional, national or global macroeconomic trends, which could affect the demand for new energy resources and customers’ ability to finance new projects; and • shifts in electricity demand, including those associated with the rapid expansion of data centers and other energy-intensive facilities, which may affect the timing, scale or economics of solar development or the competitiveness of solar energy relative to other generation technologies.
  • If we are not able to mitigate these risks and overcome these difficulties successfully, our business and prospects may be materially adversely affected.
  • Competitive pressures within our industry may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
  • Any of these factors may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
  • We face competition from conventional and other renewable energy sources.
  • We face significant competition from providers of conventional and other renewable energy alternatives such as coal, nuclear, natural gas and wind.
  • We are dependent on a relatively small number of customers for our sales.
  • A drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
  • The price of electricity could decrease as a result of: • construction of a significant number of new, lower-cost power generation plants, including plants utilizing natural gas, other renewable energy or other generation technologies; • relief of transmission constraints that enable distant, lower-cost generation to transmit energy less expensively or in greater quantities; • reductions in the price of natural gas or other fuels; • utility rate adjustment and customer class cost reallocation; • decreased electricity demand, including from energy conservation technologies and public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption; • development of smart-grid technologies that lower the peak energy requirements; • development of new or lower-cost customer-sited energy storage technologies that have the ability to reduce a customer’s average cost of electricity by shifting load to off-peak times; and • development of new energy generation technologies that provide less expensive energy.
  • If the cost of electricity generated by solar energy installations incorporating our systems is high relative to the cost of electricity from other sources, then our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects may be harmed.
  • Our end-users’ ability to install solar energy systems is affected by weather, for example, during the winter months in parts of Europe and in the northeastern U.S.
  • FERC’s reforms to its PURPA regulations include modifications: (i) to how regulators and electric utilities may establish avoided cost rates for new contracts; (ii) that reduce from 20 MW to 5 MW the capacity threshold above which a renewable-energy qualifying facility is rebuttably presumed to have non-discriminatory market access, thereby removing the requirement for certain utilities to purchase its output; (iii) that require regulators to establish criteria for determining when an electric utility incurs a legally enforceable obligation to purchase from a PURPA qualifying facility; and (iv) that reduce barriers for third parties to challenge a renewable facility’s PURPA eligibility.
  • In addition, an ongoing dispute regarding how to calculate the 80MW maximum “power production capacity” for small power qualifying facilities under PURPA was recently resolved.
  • Circuit re-affirmed FERC’s approach to certifying a facility based on its net output for purposes of PURPA eligibility.
  • This decision provides regulatory certainty to developers of solar projects.

  • The viability and demand for solar energy and the demand for our products are impacted by many factors outside of our control, including but not limited to, the retail price of electricity, availability of in-demand components like high voltage breakers, various policies related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants, and the availability of incentives for solar energy and products, which makes it difficult to predict our future prospects.
  • While we have been in existence since 1989, we have grown and expanded significantly.
  • Some of the factors outside of our control which may impact the viability and demand for solar energy include: • availability and scale and scope of government subsidies and incentives to support the development and deployment of solar energy solutions; • levels of investment by end-users of solar energy products, which tend to decrease when economic growth slows; • policies and backlog related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants to which we supply our products; • the emergence, continuance or success of, or increased government support for, other energy generation technologies and products; • the cost and availability of raw materials necessary to produce solar energy, including steel and polysilicon, and in-demand components like high voltage breakers; and • regional, national or global macroeconomic trends, which could affect the demand for new energy resources and customers’ ability to finance new projects.
  • If we are not able to mitigate these risks and overcome these difficulties successfully, our business and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.
  • Competitive pressures within our industry may harm our business, result of operations, financial condition and prospects.
  • Any of these factors may materially and adversely affect our business, result of operations, financial condition and prospects.
  • We face competition from conventional and renewable energy sources.
  • We face significant competition from providers of conventional and renewable energy alternatives such as coal, nuclear, natural gas and wind.
  • A drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
  • The price of electricity could decrease as a result of: • construction of a significant number of new, lower-cost power generation plants, including plants utilizing natural gas, renewable energy or other generation technologies; • relief of transmission constraints that enable distant, lower-cost generation to transmit energy less expensively or in greater quantities; • reductions in the price of natural gas or other fuels; • utility rate adjustment and customer class cost reallocation; • decreased electricity demand, including from energy conservation technologies and public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption; • development of smart-grid technologies that lower the peak energy requirements; • development of new or lower-cost customer-sited energy storage technologies that have the ability to reduce a customer’s average cost of electricity by shifting load to off-peak times; and • development of new energy generation technologies that provide less expensive energy.
  • If the cost of electricity generated by solar energy installations incorporating our systems is high relative to the cost of electricity from other sources, then our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.
  • Our end-users’ ability to install solar energy systems is affected by weather, as for example during the winter months in Europe and the northeastern U.S.
  • FERC’s reforms to its PURPA regulations include modifications (1) to how regulators and electric utilities may establish avoided cost rates for new contracts, (2) that reduce from 20 MW to 5 MW the capacity threshold above which a renewable-energy qualifying facility is rebuttably presumed to have non-discriminatory market access, thereby removing the requirement for certain utilities to purchase its output, (3) that require regulators to establish criteria for determining when an electric utility incurs a legally enforceable obligation to purchase from a PURPA qualifying facility, and (4) that reduce barriers for third parties to challenge a renewable facility’s PURPA eligibility.
  • In general, however, FERC’s PURPA reforms have the potential to reduce prices for the output from certain new renewable generation projects while also narrowing the scope of PURPA eligibility for new projects.
  • These effects could reduce opportunities and demand for PURPA-eligible solar energy systems and could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
  • In addition, there is an ongoing dispute regarding how to calculate the 80MW maximum “power production capacity” for small power qualifying facilities under PURPA.
  • Circuit requires a different methodology to be used for determining qualifying facility eligibility under PURPA or whether qualifying facilities are eligible for certain exemptions under the Federal Power Act, facilities that are currently eligible for qualifying facility status or such exemptions could lose their status or exemptions.
  • This change could also reduce demand for PURPA-eligible products and could harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • For example, on July 28, 2023, FERC issued a final rule, designated as Order No. 2023, to reform procedures and agreements that electric transmission providers use to interconnect new generating facilities to the existing transmission system.
  • And in June 2024, FERC issued a final rule, designated as Order No. 1920, which it modified slightly in November 2024, to reform the procedures electric transmission providers must use for long-term planning of expansions to the transmission system and the allocation of the resulting costs to transmission customers, including electric generating facilities.
  • In addition, changes in our products or changes in export and import laws, including new or additional tariffs, and implementing regulations may create delays in the introduction of new products in international markets, prevent our customers from deploying our products internationally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries altogether.
  • Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our ability to deliver our products in a cost-efficient manner have in recent years and could continue to be adversely impacted by other factors not within our control, including, but not limited to, shortages in available cargo capacity, changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service, increases in the cost of fuel, sanctions and labor availability and cost.
  • Escalating trade tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, have led to increased tariffs and trade restrictions, including tariffs applicable to certain materials and components for our products or for products used in solar energy projects more broadly, such as module supply and availability.
  • These tariffs were increased on February 10, 2025, resulting in across-the-board 25% duties on steel and aluminum imports.
  • Additionally, all previous alternative arrangements, such as complete exemptions, hard quotas, or tariff rate quotas (TRQs), with trading partners on imports of steel and aluminum products, will be eliminated as of March 12, 2025.
  • The February 2025 proclamations also eliminate the system for exclusions, under which thousands of products were allowed to enter the U.S. free of these additional duties and create a process by which additional “derivative” products can be added to the scope of the tariffs by request of the domestic producer.
  • In addition, the threat of potential tariffs can create uncertainty among our customers and slow down the rate of existing projects and projects in our orderbook.
  • Additionally, in January 2018, the U.S. adopted a tariff on imported solar modules and cells pursuant to Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974.
  • On February 4, 2022, former President Biden extended the safeguard tariff for an additional four years, starting at a rate of 14.75% and reducing that rate each year to 14% in 2026, and directed the U.S.
  • Trade Representative to conclude agreements with Canada and Mexico on trade in solar products.
  • On July 7, 2022, the U.S. and Canada entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding in which the U.S. agreed to suspend application of the safeguard tariff to Canadian crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells imported as of February 1, 2022.
  • Trade Representative (“USTR”) announced that it would increase Section 301 tariffs on polysilicon and wafers to 50% in 2025.
  • Department of Commerce (“USDOC”) issued final affirmative determinations of circumvention with respect to certain crystalline solar photovoltaic (“CSPV”) cells and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam using parts and components from China.
  • As a result, certain CSPV cells and modules from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are now subject to antidumping and countervailing duty (“AD/CVD”) orders on CSPV cells and modules from China that have been in place since 2012.
  • On October 30, 2024, the USITC voted to find no injury in its pending AD/CVD investigation, meaning that the USDOC’s AD/CVD orders will not go into effect.
  • On April 24, 2024, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, an ad hoc coalition of domestic producers of CSPV cells and modules, filed a petition with the USDOC and the U.S.
  • International Trade Commission (“USITC”) seeking the imposition of AD/CVD tariffs on imports of CSPV cells and modules from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
  • The USITC made a preliminary affirmative determination on June 7, 2024, and the USDOC made its preliminary affirmative determination on October 1, 2024.
  • The preliminary tariff rates vary from below 1% to almost 300%, depending on the relevant company.
