NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Emeren Group Ltd was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 17, 2006. On January 29, 2008, Emeren Group Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) became listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the United States. The Company is a solar project developer and operator, a solar downstream player. The Company develops and sells solar power projects or sells project Special Purpose Vehicles (“SPVs”) (project development business); provides engineering, procurement and construction business (“EPC business”); owns and operates solar power projects and sells the electricity generated by the operated solar power plants (“IPP business”); and provides Development Services Agreement (“DSA”). The Company conducts the IPP business, EPC business, DSA business and project development business in a number of countries, including United States (“U.S.”), Poland, Hungary, Spain, France, United Kingdom (“UK”), Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted.

In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and the Company’s ability to arrange adequate financing arrangements, to support its working capital requirements.

Basis of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Emeren Group Ltd and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions, balances and realized and unrealized profits and losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

A non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of a subsidiary’s equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Net income (loss) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) includes the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests when applicable. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are also recorded as non-controlling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, when applicable.

Table of Contents

Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods presented. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant accounting estimates are susceptible to changes with the acquisition of the information, which include revenue recognition for sales of project asset rights, transaction price estimates with variable consideration, percentage of completion of EPC services, EPC warranties, allowances for credit losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, and recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets and project assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Fair value measurement

The Company estimates fair value of financial assets and liabilities as the price that would be received from the sales of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company utilizes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs.

When available, the Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs), valuation techniques that use observable market-based inputs (Level 2 inputs) or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Pricing information the Company obtains from third parties is internally validated for reasonableness prior to use in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. When observable market prices are not readily available, the Company generally estimates the fair value using valuation techniques that rely on alternate market data or inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources and are estimated based on pertinent information available at the time of the applicable reporting periods (Level 3 inputs).

In certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may fluctuate as economic and market factors vary and as the Company’s evaluation of those factors changes. Although the Company uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. In these cases, a minor change in an assumption could result in a significant change in its estimate of fair value, thereby increasing or decreasing the amounts of the Company’s consolidated assets, liabilities, equity and net income or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and salaries payable.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and salaries payable approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).

Significant accounting policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash in excess of the FDIC insured amount. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Cash restricted for use as a result of financing is classified separately as restricted cash. If the restricted cash is unavailable for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date, the restricted cash is included in “other non-current assets.” Otherwise, restricted cash is included as a separate line item on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


	March 31,		December 31,
	2025		2024

	in thousands
Cash and cash equivalents	$	52,885	$	50,012
Restricted cash – other non-current assets		702		—
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	53,587	$	50,012

Advances to suppliers

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, advances to suppliers in current assets were $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company does not require collateral or other security against its advances to suppliers. As a result, the Company’s claims for such prepayments are unsecured, which exposes the Company to the suppliers’ credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its material suppliers.

Leases

Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. From time to time, the Company’s subsidiaries are asked to prepay the lease costs for over one year. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the prepaid rental fees of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were recorded in operating lease right-of-use assets.

Revenue recognition

The Company primarily derives its revenues from the following revenue streams:

●

Solar power project development – This is comprised of sale of project assets constructed by a third-party EPC contractor, sale of project assets constructed by the Company’s own EPC team, and sale of project asset rights.

●

EPC Services – Certain of the EPC contracts for photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems contain retainage provisions. Retainage represents contract costs for the portion of the contract price earned for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until a certain defined timeframe has been reached. The Company considers whether collectability of such retainage is reasonably assured in connection with our overall assessment of the collectability of amounts due or that will become due under the EPC contracts. After the Company has satisfied the EPC contract requirements and has an unconditional right to consideration, the retainage is billed and reclassified to “Accounts receivable from EPC services (billed)”. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unbilled balance of accounts receivable from EPC services included in accounts receivable unbilled, net were $43.0 million and $40.4 million, respectively.

●

Electricity generation – See Note 3, “Accounts Receivable Trade, Net” for further details.

●

DSA and others – DSA revenue is recognized over time based on the percentage of completion by using the cost-based input method upon the performance of relevant project development activities. Ancillary revenues are recorded in others.

Contract liability

Advances from customers, which represent contract liabilities, are payments received from customers which are unrecognized revenue. Advances from customers are recognized as the Company performs its obligations under the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $0.1 million and zero as revenue that was included in the balances of advances from customers as of January 1, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Deferred revenue, included in other current liabilities, represents the excess billings to date over the amount of revenue recognized to date. The timing and the amount we bill our customers is based on achieving milestones as defined in the contract with the customers. See Note 9, “Other Current Liabilities” for further details.

We determine our income tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items occurring during the periods presented. The Company’s income tax provision in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was mainly due to income taxes on earnings from its foreign tax jurisdictions.

The Company conducts its business globally and its operating income is subject to varying rates of tax. Consequently, the Company’s effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of its earnings or losses and the tax laws and regulations in each geographical region.

Due to historical losses in the U.S., the Company has a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management’s assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.

As of March 31, 2025, there are no material changes on uncertain tax positions.

The accounts receivable related to electricity generation revenue in China remain on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860. The Company continues to collect customer payments for the pledged accounts receivable.

In March 2025, the Company’s Hungary subsidiaries entered into a subordination agreement in connection with a $24.1 million (EUR 22.3 million) facility agreement with a local lender and received loan proceeds of $15.0 million (EUR 13.9 million) under the first of two utilization tranches.

Financing associated with failed sales-leaseback transactions

Since 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “seller-lessee”) in China have sold solar projects assets (“leased assets”) to different domestic financial leasing companies (the “buyer-lessors”) for cash consideration, and simultaneously entered into the contracts to lease back the leased assets from the buyer-lessors for a typical period of 5 to 10 years. These arrangements are guaranteed by other subsidiaries of the Company and are also pledged by the shares and rights to the future power generation income of the seller-lessee. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the seller-lessee is required to make lease payments to the buyer-lessors over the lease period and is entitled to obtain ownership of the equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease.

Table of Contents

As the leased assets are considered integral with real estate under ASC 360, the sale-leaseback rules related to real estate are applied. The lease transactions do not qualify as a sale-leaseback transaction as these solar projects are initially invested and built up by the seller-lessee with expected useful life of 25 years and are continuously maintained by the seller-lessee. The seller-lessee has an obligation to repurchase the leased assets upon the expiry of the lease. In addition, after the lease period, the seller-lessee will keep using the assets and has no plans to sell or for early-disposal.

Accordingly, these transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with ASC 840. Internal rate of return is used in the computation of interest cost. The assets remain in the property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) and continue to be depreciated.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid for amount of financing lease associated with failed sales-leaseback transactions of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $12.2 million and $12.5 million under failed sales-leaseback liabilities as the non-current portion and $4.2 million and $4.1 million as the current portion, which represents principal to be paid in the next year, respectively. The weighted average effective interest rate of the financing was 5.57% and 6.68% and interest costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. These failed sales-leaseback financings were collateralized by the underlying assets of the solar projects.

Finance lease

The Company leased module, inverter and other materials from different financial leasing companies in China. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts, the Company is required to make lease payments to the finance lease companies and is entitled to obtain the ownership of this machinery and equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease. These arrangements are guaranteed by other subsidiaries of the Company and are also pledged by the shares and rights for the future power generation income of the leased assets. The lease is classified as finance lease. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of leased assets are included in finance lease right-of-use assets, which are being depreciated over lives of 25 years. The payable related to these contracts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Expected volatilities are based on the average of the standard deviation of the daily stock prices of the Company and other selected comparable companies in the same industry. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate of return is based on the U.S. Treasury bond yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

North America

Emeren extends a 401(k) plan to eligible employees based in the United States. Through our 401(k) plan, eligible employees have the flexibility to defer up to 100% of their Plan Compensation on a pre-tax basis or opt for Voluntary Contributions, such as Roth contributions, on an after-tax basis. We ensure compliance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, which stipulate limits on the amount an employee may defer under this plan or any other retirement plan allowing Elective Deferral Contributions during a calendar year. Emeren provides an Employer Match percentage formula, with vesting determined by the length of service with the Company.

Emeren has implemented a voluntary Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) tailored for eligible employees based in Canada. This initiative aims to empower our Canadian workforce in achieving their long-term financial objectives in a tax-efficient manner. Under the RRSP program, eligible employees immediately vest in the plan, ensuring immediate access to the benefits it offers. Moreover, the Company provides a structured Employer Match percentage formula, which depends on the percentage of earnings contributed by the employee.

In the fiscal year 2024, eligible employees based in the United States and Canada could enroll in the Company’s comprehensive supplemental benefits plans, comprised of health insurance, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, and a flexible spending account.

*	All shares are converted to ADS, each ADS represents 10 common shares

The Company issues ordinary shares to its share depository bank which will be used to settle stock option awards upon their exercise. Any ordinary shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to the Company. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 9,396,480 ordinary shares were legally issued to the share depository bank but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore, have been excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per ADS.

The Company uses the treasury method in determining whether those potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive. That is, the number of potential common shares, after considering the shares repurchased used in computing the diluted per-share amount for income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company excluded ordinary share equivalents of 1,323,530 from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share because including them would have been anti-dilutive.

14. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has comprehensive income (loss) attributed to non-controlling interest for $0.1 million and ($0.2) million, respectively, of which, the majority resulted from consolidated entities, Powerminds Storage S.r.l., RPNC Holdings, LLC and Zhejiang Emeren Smart Energy Co., Ltd for the three months ended March 31, 2025; and RPNC Holdings, LLC and Zhejiang Emeren Smart Energy Co., Ltd for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company calculated the non-controlling interest for 45.0% to Powerminds Storage S.r.l., 99% to RPNC Holdings, LLC and 40.13% to Zhejiang Emeren Smart Energy Co., Ltd.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating lease accounting

The Company leases rooftop, land, other property, and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 3 to 25 years, with some having a term of 40 years or more, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. At the inception of each lease, the Company determines if the arrangement is a lease or contains an embedded lease and reviews the facts and circumstances of the arrangement to classify leased assets as operating or finance under Topic 842. The Company has elected not to record any leases with terms of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.

As this time, a certain portion of active leases within the Company portfolio are classified as operating leases under the new standard. Operating leases are included in Rights-of-Use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make minimum lease payment arising from the lease for the duration of the lease term.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 year to 5 years or greater. The exercise of the lease renewal option is typically at our discretion. Additionally, many leases contain early termination clauses, however early termination typically requires the agreement of both parties to the lease. At the lease inception, all renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised are considered when determining the lease term. At this time, the Company does not have operating leases that include options to purchase or automatically transfer ownership of the lease property to the Company. The depreciable life of leased assets is limited by the expected lease term.

Table of Contents

To determine the present value of future minimum lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. At this time, many of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore, to determine the present value of minimum lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives.

The components of lease expenses consisted of the following:

Capital commitments

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had capital commitments of approximately $1.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. These capital commitments were solely related to contracts signed with vendors for procurement of services or photovoltaic (PV) related products used for the construction of solar PV systems being developed by the Company.

The capital commitments as at balance sheet date disclosed above do not include those incomplete purchases or acquisitions as at balance sheet dates as the agreements could either be terminated unconditionally without any penalty or cancelable when the closing conditions as specified in the agreements could not be met.

Legal matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters. The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from such claims, when a loss is assessed to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.

The Company is a party to legal matters and claims in the normal course of its operations. While the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, the outcome of these matters is not determinable with certainty and negative outcomes may adversely affect the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2025, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 22, 2025 (together, the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), and related management’s discussion and analysis in Item 7 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please also see the section herein titled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

During the first quarter of 2025, we had $8.2 million in revenue, $3.2 million in gross profit, a 39.4% gross margin and $4.1 million loss from operations. An unrealized foreign exchange gain due to the strengthening of the Euro positively impacted net income by approximately $6.2 million, resulting in a net income of $1.5 million.

Gross profit and gross margin are influenced by various factors, including the relative performance and contribution of our business segments, the impact of tariffs, and the timing and pricing of project sales. As a result of these dynamics, our gross margin varies from period to period. Our IPP and DSA businesses remained strong, continuing to drive high-margin revenue.

Net Revenue

We are a solar/storage project developer and operator, with our revenues mainly generated from our solar/storage power projects. Set forth below is the breakdown of our net revenue and gross profit (loss) by segment.

The Company has the following reportable segments, including solar/storage power project development, EPC services, electricity generation and DSA. Ancillary revenues and expenses and other unallocated costs and expenses are recorded in others.

(a)

The weighted-average capacity factors can vary based on seasonality and weather. Changes in climate, geography, weather patterns, and other phenomena in the regions where we operate may significantly affect our business. As a result, our IPP electricity production and amount of electricity sold and therefore our IPP revenue tend to be higher during periods or seasons when there is more irradiation.

Table of Contents

Geographical Distribution

We are a solar project developer and operator and function as a pure downstream player with a pipeline of projects around the world.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenues generated by the geographic location of customers:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025		2024

Hungary		637		1,692
Total	$	8,154	$	14,600

We expect the revenue from solar/storage power project to increase generally in parallel with our business growth.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for continuing operations consists of costs for:

development costs (including interconnection fees and permitting costs) of solar/storage power projects;

acquisition costs of solar/storage power projects, if applicable;

project management costs;

EPC costs (consisting of costs of the components of solar/storage power projects other than solar modules, such as inverters, electrical and mounting hardware, trackers, grid interconnection equipment, wiring and other devices);

overhead allocation cost (including utilities, maintenance and other support expenses);

interest costs capitalized for solar/storage power projects during construction period; and

site-specific costs

Gross Margin

Our gross margin is affected by changes in our net revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is affected by 1) the gross margin of each individual solar/storage power project we sell, which is determined by our ability to negotiate the sales price and our ability to effectively control the project acquisition and development costs, 2) the gross margin of each individual solar/storage power project we operate, which is determined by revenues from the sale of electricity generated from our operated solar/storage power projects and our ability to effectively control the operation costs, and 3) the gross margin of each individual EPC service we provide, which is determined by our ability to negotiate the sales price and our ability to effectively control the engineering, procurement and construction costs.

Our gross margin increased to 39.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 29.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the increase in favorable margin within the electricity generation segment, which benefited from improved weather conditions and higher solar irradiation levels.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses primarily include sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and other operating income and expenses and impairment loss of assets.

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and pensions for our sales personnel, commission paid to our sales agents, outbound freight, share-based compensation expenses and benefits, travel and other sales and marketing expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits for our administrative and management personnel, consulting and professional service fees, bad debt provision, and travel and related costs incurred by our administrative and management personnel.

Other Operating Income and Expenses

Other operating income (expenses) primarily consist of cancellation loss of project assets, disposal gain (loss) of property, plant and equipment and non FIT payments.

Other Income and Expenses

Our other income and expenses consist primarily of interest income, interest expenses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and investment gain or loss.

Our interest income represents interest on our cash balances and the recognition of the discounted interest income on the feed-in tariff(s) (FIT) for the electricity sold. Our interest expenses relate primarily to our short-term and long-term borrowings from banks and other financing parties, less capitalized interest expenses to the extent they relate to our capital expenditures.

Our foreign currency exchange gain or loss results from our net exchange gains and losses on our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies during the relevant period. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for our subsidiaries in the PRC is Renminbi (“CNY”). The functional currency of our overseas subsidiaries normally is the local currency of the country where the subsidiary is domiciled. Foreign currency transactions have been translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into our functional currency at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities have been translated using exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income statement items have been translated using the weighted average exchange rate and equity is translated at historical exchange rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the period which is the result of the income or loss.

Taxation

Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, we are not subject to any income or capital gains tax. Additionally, dividend payments made by us are not subject to any withholding tax in the British Virgin Islands.

In 2025 and 2024, we had overseas operations in the jurisdiction of the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and China. The corporate income tax rates in these jurisdictions range from 0% to 30.2%.

Table of Contents

Segment Operations

We currently separate our business into four reportable segments, including solar/storage power project development, electricity generation, EPC services and DSA. Ancillary revenues and expenses and other unallocated costs and expenses are recorded in others.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Our future financial statements will be affected to the extent that our actual results materially differ from these estimates.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Net Revenue. Our net revenue decreased from $14.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $8.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to (i) revenue from EPC services decreased by $4.1 million; (ii) revenue from DSA decreased by $3.9 million; offset by (iii) revenue from electricity generation increased by $1.3 million and (iv) revenue from solar power project development increased by $0.3 million. The decrease in EPC services revenue was driven by the Company’s strategy in prioritizing DSA revenue since 2024. The decrease in DSA revenue was primarily due to delays in achieving project milestones and completions, as several projects in the U.S. and Europe regions experienced permitting delays that pushed expected revenue recognition beyond the current reporting period. Additionally, economic and policy uncertainties led to lower buyer pricing, reducing revenue recognized during the period.

Cost of Revenue. Our cost of revenue decreased from $10.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our cost of revenue associated with solar power project primarily consists of project development cost and acquisition cost; cost on electricity generation primarily consists of depreciation expenses arising from our solar power fixed assets and EPC cost associated with direct materials, solar modules, labor, subcontractor costs, and other indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. The decrease of our cost of revenue is primarily due to the decrease in net revenue.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.2 million, compared to a gross profit of $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Despite the decrease in gross profit, gross margin increased to 39.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 29.6% for the same period in 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by the favorable margin contribution from revenue generated through electricity generation segment, which benefited from improved weather conditions and higher solar irradiation levels.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.04 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased from $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was mainly from a reduction in credit losses by $0.3 million and decrease in professional services fees by $0.3 million. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in payroll by $0.4 million attributable in part to market rate adjustments and an increase in other management-related expenses by $0.1 million.

Other Operating Income (Expenses), Net. Other operating expense increased from $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our other operating income (expenses) consisted primarily of cancellation loss of project assets and disposal gain or loss in property, plant and equipment. Project cancellations were based on case-by-case assessments of development status, expected returns, and commercial feasibility in the first quarter of 2025, following a change in management’s strategic review of the project portfolio.

Interest Income and Expenses. Our interest income decreased from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decrease in interest income received from cash deposits. Our interest expenses were unchanged from $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Unrealized Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses). Unrealized foreign exchange loss was $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and unrealized foreign exchange gain was $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income in Hungary resulting from a decline in revenue. The income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025 mainly resulted from the taxable income from the UK and Italy.

Net income (loss). We had a net income of $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the unrealized foreign exchange gain during the first quarter of 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had generated negative operating cash flow of $1.9 million, a loss from operations of $4.1 million and we repaid borrowings, finance lease and failed sales-leaseback financing totaling of $2.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, we have positive working capital of $148.1 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, project assets, and continued support from financial institutions, fund investors and financing lease companies, in the form of renewed and additional short-term or long-term financings (including development loans, construction loans and project financings) and equity contribution, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs that will arise in 2025 and will be sufficient for at the least the next 12 months from the issuance date of this quarterly report. We intend to continue to carefully execute our operating plans and manage credit and market risk. However, if our financial results or operating plans change from our current assumptions, our liquidity could be negatively impacted.

As part of our financing policy, we expect to continue to finance our liquidity needs mainly with cash flows from our operating activities. We continuously evaluate opportunities to pursue acquisitions or engage in strategic transactions. We expect to finance any significant future transaction with a combination of cash, long-term indebtedness and the issuance of shares of our company.

As of March 31, 2025, significant components of our working capital were as follows:

●

Our total current assets were $197.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $52.9 million.

●

Total current liabilities were $49.0 million.

●

We had current project assets of $50.6 million in our late stage projects under development. Although we believe we will be able to sell such project assets at a profit, if we are unable to sell these project assets at reasonable prices in the near term, our liquidity may be negatively affected.

Cash generated from operations, external financing, and related party credit are our primary sources of operating liquidity, and we believe that cash flows from operations combined with our existing cash and cash equivalents, and facilities currently available, and those expected to be renewed will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations when they become due.

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings

As of March 31, 2025, all the short-term borrowings have been fully repaid and there were no new short-term borrowings.

Long-term borrowings

In January 2021, the Company’s UK subsidiary obtained a long-term loan from a lender in the UK totaling £0.05 million ($0.06 million). The long-term loan has a maturity date of July 2026 with an annual interest rate of 2.5%. The proceeds from this loan were used for general working capital purposes. The long-term borrowing was interest free for twelve months. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of this long-term borrowing was $0.02 million.

In January 2022, the Company’s Project Branston subsidiary entered into a lease loan contract with Aviva Investor Infrastructure Income No. 4 Ltd. The loan bears interest at 4% above the base rate time to time from Lloyds Bank Plc on the bank and will mature in April 2060. As a result of the acquisition of Branston, the Company took over the loan. As of March 31, 2025, the long-term borrowings were $22.2 million including current of $0.4 million and non-current of $21.8 million.

In February 2023, the Company’s Tensol 3 subsidiary entered into a shareholder loan contract with a minority shareholder of a subsidiary of the Company, Tensol 3, of $0.7 million. The loan bears interest at 2% per annum and will mature in December 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of the shareholder loan was $0.03 million.

Table of Contents

In November 2023, the Company’s China subsidiary obtained a long-term bank loan in the RMB totaling RMB 1.3 million ($0.2 million). The long-term loan bears interest at 5.2% above the base rate time to time from Loan Prime Rate on the bank and will mature in November 2033. As of March 31, 2025, the long-term borrowings were $0.2 million, including current of $0.02 million and non-current of $0.1 million.

The long-term loans obtained by the Company’s China subsidiary in November 2023, March 2024, and July 2024 are guaranteed by another subsidiary of the Company. These loans are also collateralized by the underlying assets of solar projects with a carrying amount of $3.2 million (RMB 23.5 million), as well as a 100% equity interest in a subsidiary and the rights to the future power generation income. The accounts receivable related to electricity generation revenue in China remain on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860. The Company continues to collect customer payments for the pledged accounts receivable.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information with respect to legal proceedings is set forth under Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our risk factors have not changed materially from those risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 in Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” other than as set forth below. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks or uncertainties.

Reciprocal tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act on imports into the United States could adversely affect us.

On February 1, 2025, the U.S. government issued an Executive Order pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (the “IEEPA”) imposing a 10% tariff on all imports from China, effective February 4, 2025. On March 3, 2025, the U.S. government amended the Executive Order increasing the tariff to 20%, effective March 4, 2025. The 20% tariff applies in addition to any other duties, fees, exactions, and charges applicable to the covered imports from China.

On April 2, 2025, the U.S. government issued an Executive Order pursuant to IEEPA imposing an indefinite reciprocal 10% tariff on almost all goods imported into the U.S., effective April 5, 2025, and individualized higher IEEPA tariffs (11% to 50%) starting April 9, 2025 on goods originating from 57 countries with trade surpluses with the U.S., including China, among other countries. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. government issued a further Executive Order increasing the IEEPA reciprocal tariff on China to 125% effective April 10, 2025. Concurrently, the U.S. government announced a temporary suspension of the country-specific reciprocal tariff measures targeting most U.S. trading partners for a 90-day period, or until July 9, 2025. This sequence of actions underscored a strategic recalibration of the U.S. trade policy, emphasizing heightened pressure on international trade.

We are closely monitoring potential changes in international trade policy and the evolving trade environment, as it remains unclear what additional actions, if any, will be taken by the U.S. or other governments with respect to international trade agreements, the imposition of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., tax policy related to international commerce, or other trade matters. The recent tariff measures have introduced increased uncertainty and complexity in our supply chain planning and cost management. At this time, we cannot predict full impact of these measures; however, any sustained or escalated trade restrictions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If any new tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated or, in particular, if the U.S. government takes retaliatory trade actions due to the recent U.S.-China trade tension, such changes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our recent CEO transition may adversely affect our business, operations, and strategic initiatives.

On April 30, 2025, our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) stepped down from his role, and the Board of Directors (“Board”) appointed an interim CEO while it conducts a search for a permanent replacement. Any failure to successfully transition key executive roles could impair our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives, meet performance goals, and maintain operational continuity. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding the leadership transition may negatively impact employee morale and retention, customer confidence, and supplier relationships. There is no assurance that the Board will identify and appoint a permanent CEO in a timely manner. Prolonged uncertainty or a perceived lack of leadership stability could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and stock price.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Registered Equity Securities

As of December 2021, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of shares, which authorization does not expire (the “repurchase plan”). In February 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved, under the repurchase plan, an accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) program of up to $10 million, which does not expire. This accelerated stock repurchase program underscores the Board’s commitment to our shareholders and confidence in the Company’s future growth. No shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we have $0.9 million left under our repurchase plan.
