Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) relating to potential customs duties on goods imported in 2024 by one of the entities we acquired in the Trina Business Combination (the “Notices”). We have engaged with CBP on these Notices and explained why we believe they were without legal or factual merit.
Added
In March 2026, we received bills from CBP for alleged antidumping duties on goods imported in 2024 by the same entity acquired in the Trina Business Combination. It is unclear what, if any, connection these bills have with the Notices previously received. At this point, the bills received total approximately $25.4 million.

Shortly thereafter, the Company received a voluntary document request from the SEC seeking similar information. The Company believes that the relevant trades relate to stock that the Individual pledged as collateral against a personal loan, which was approved in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy.

Added
Separately, also in early 2026, the International Trade Commission published a Notice of Receipt of Complaint filed by First Solar, Inc. alleging that multiple proposed respondents, including T1 Energy Inc. and T1 G1 Dallas Solar Module LLC, are knowingly and intentionally infringing the ’074 Patent by, among other actions, importing certain solar cells.
Added
In that proceeding, First Solar Inc. has requested that the International Trade Commission issue a general exclusion order prohibiting the importation of products that infringe the ’074 Patent, which First Solar, Inc. alleges includes TOPCon solar cells, as well as cease-and-desist orders to all respondents with respect to the importation, sale, marketing, or distribution of such products.
Added
We contest the allegations by First Solar, Inc. and will vigorously defend against them and pursue all legal remedies available to the Company. 32 We believe, taking into consideration our indemnities, defenses, insurance and reserves, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Added
However, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in contesting the Notices or the Lawsuit, or that we will not need to accrue or pay additional amounts in the future.

Added
The Company recognizes compliance with these provisions of the OBBBA as a significant regulatory and 34 business priority, and we are focused and actively working to ensure we maintain compliance with these provisions to allow us and our customers to retain the availability of tax credits in the future.
Removed
The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the receipt of $23.5 million for government grants in connection with the planned development of the land in Coweta County, Georgia in 2023 with no corresponding amount in 2024, in addition there was an increase in routine working capital needs in 2024 offset by a decrease in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items.
Added
On December 30, 2025, we announced a series of transactions intended to allow us to continue our eligibility for 45X Tax Credits in 2026 and beyond.

Removed
Investing Activities Cash flows used in investing activities were $137.7 million in 2024, compared to $187.0 million in 2023.
Added
In addition, to further bolster our compliance position, we have amended our certificate of incorporation to provide certain limits on SFE equity ownership. • Debt : We raised significant capital in late 2025 and have used certain of that capital, together with shares of common stock, to make a substantial debt repayment to Trina Solar.
Removed
This decrease was partially offset by the net cash used in the Trina business acquisition of $109.6 million. Financing Activities Cash flows from financing activities were $45.9 million in 2024, compared to zero in 2023.
Added
As a result, the percentage of our debt held by Trina Solar is below the relevant threshold set by the OBBBA. • Appointment of Covered Officers : We and Trina Solar entered into an agreement that removes Trina Solar’s previous right to appoint a covered officer. • Effective Control : After careful analysis and diligence, we concluded that we do not have any agreements that would render us an SFE pursuant to the “effective control” provisions of the OBBBA. • Intellectual Property : We previously licensed certain patents and other intellectual property from Trina Solar.
Removed
Cash flows from financing activities in 2024 consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $50.0 million, offset by a $4.1 million outflow for the purchase of our non-controlling interest in our U.S. joint venture. 28 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
Added
Trina Solar recently sold that intellectual property to Evervolt and as a result we now license such intellectual property from Evervolt.
Added
After conducting customary diligence on Evervolt, we believe that Evervolt is not an SFE. • Material Assistance : After conducting supply chain diligence, we have purchased solar cells for use in a portion of our solar modules to be produced in 2026 from a supplier that has provided certifications of its non-PFE (“MA Compliant”) status and are undertaking diligence to ensure the remainder of cells for use in 2026 will be MA Compliant.
Added
Our efforts to build a domestic supply chain, including domestic cells to be produced at our G2_Austin facility, domestic polysilicon from Hemlock Semiconductor, domestic wafers from Corning, and domestic steel frames from Nextpower are expected to further bolster our ongoing material assistance compliance efforts.
Added
On February 12, 2026, the United States Department of the Treasury released initial guidance pertaining to the implementation of PFE restrictions under the OBBBA. We believe that we remain in compliance with these restrictions and expect to be eligible for 45X Tax Credits.
Added
Such guidance is consistent with our interpretation of the relevant OBBBA provisions and validates the compliance plan that we developed and implemented. New or increased tariffs, changes to existing legislation, and other potential trade policy developments, including with respect to enforceability, are important factors that can impact our business. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions.
Added
Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and on the stability of global financial markets.
Added
There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs, potential changes to existing tariffs and legislation, and whether additional tariffs may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business.
Added
As a leading and growing American advanced solar technology manufacturer, we broadly support tariffs that are intended to benefit the U.S. solar manufacturing industry, investment in reverse technology transfer, and onshoring of critical U.S. energy supply chains.
Added
We are specifically in favor of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) in the ‘Solar 4’ case as well as the potential implementation of a Section 232 tariff on imported polysilicon. We are operating in an uncertain macroeconomic environment with significant volatility that may impact consumer demand.
Added
To the extent the macroeconomic environment worsens, it may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 35 Results of Operations The following table sets forth information on our consolidated results of operations (in thousands, except percentages): Year ended December 31, 2025 vs 2024 Change 2025 2024 ($) (%) Net sales $ 168,463 $ — $ 168,463 NM Net sales - related party 586,832 2,942 583,890 NM Total net sales 755,295 2,942 752,353 NM Cost of sales 699,714 1,714 698,000 NM Gross profit 55,581 1,228 54,353 NM Selling, general and administrative 235,316 79,196 156,121 197 % Impairment of intangible assets 54,832 1,038 53,794 NM Total operating expenses 290,148 80,234 209,914 262 % Total other expense (106,163) (3,555) (102,608) NM Loss from continuing operations before income taxes $ (340,730) $ (82,561) $ (258,169) 313 % Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (46,476) $ (383,753) $ 337,277 (88 %) NM - Not meaningful Net sales Net sales consist of sales of PV solar modules net of intangible asset amortization for customer contracts.
Added
We began selling PV solar modules after our acquisition of all the shares of capital stock of Trina Solar (U.S.) Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation and related subsidiaries on December 23, 2024 (the “Trina Business Combination”).
Added
In order to help preserve 45X on inventory prior to OBBBA effective date of January 1, 2026, we sold all inventory that would not be in compliance after December 31, 2025, into a weaker than expected market at the end of 2025.
Added
Realizations on these sales were lower than expected given the market was absorbing industry sales of modules with non-compliant PFE cells. We believe all of our inventory and sales in 2026 will be OBBBA-compliant, and we expect all solar cells we have sourced and intend to source will be MA Compliant.
Added
Our cost of sales also includes depreciation of manufacturing plant and equipment, facility-related expenses, environmental health and safety costs, and costs associated with shipping. These costs are offset by our generation of 45X Tax Credits. Cost of sales increased by $698.0 million in 2025 compared to 2024.
Added
The repayments contemplated within the Payoff Letter and the concurrent waiver agreement related to Service Fees under the Sales Agency Agreement that are recorded within cost of sales were analyzed as a combined transaction for purposes of determining the loss on debt extinguishment noted below.
Added
This increase is primarily due to an increase in commissions, royalty fees, personnel costs and legal and professional fees following the Trina Business Combination and in concert with our ongoing public policy program.
Added
Commissions, royalty fees, and other selling costs of $74.5 million were incurred under arrangements with Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG and its affiliates (the “Trina Group”), a related party, for the year ended December 31, 2025.
