Management Commentary

“Third-quarter revenue of $24.0 million was within our guidance, and we delivered GAAP net income of $0.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million exceeded the high end of our guidance range,” said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo. “Third-quarter results reflected the three dynamics we outlined last quarter: a more gradual market recovery in Europe, a slower-than-anticipated ramp of GO ESS and the shift of our U.S. optimized inverter partner’s launch to the fourth quarter. In EMEA, third-quarter revenue declined 14.8% year over year as the market continues to adjust to a reduced subsidy environment. GO ESS third-quarter revenue declined 58.6% year over year to $1.3 million and 40.6% compared with the second quarter, due to lower sales volumes in the United States and Italy. In the U.S., we recognized approximately $0.8 million of revenue from shipments to our optimized inverter partner during the quarter and expect revenues to exceed that amount in the fourth quarter. However, the partner’s delayed go-to-market launch may affect the timing of future orders.”

“EMEA represented 76.5% of third-quarter revenue, with the Czech Republic and Germany, our two largest markets, representing 19.6% and 19.3% of revenue, respectively. Poland and Spain grew 41.2% and 103.2% year over year, respectively, while revenue declined most significantly in Italy and the United Kingdom. The Americas and LATAM accounted for a combined 16.5% of revenue, with U.S. revenue down 51.4% year over year as the U.S. market adjusts to the expiration of the IRS Section 25D tax credit at the end of 2025. APAC contributed 7.0% of revenue, and APAC revenue grew 56.3% year over year, led by 121.1% growth in Australia. MLPE represented $22.1 million, or 92.0% of quarterly revenue, and GO ESS represented 5.4%. In 2027, we plan to invest in growing markets where we are already succeeding, such as Eastern Europe and Australia, to expand our market share.”

“Gross margin was 46.2%, compared with 42.7% in the third quarter of 2025, and operating expenses declined 10.0% year over year to $11.2 million,” stated Bill Roeschlein, CFO of Tigo. “We reduced inventory by $13.2 million to $18.1 million since year-end 2025. Our 2027 growth plan includes investments in key growth markets while maintaining a disciplined cost structure that can scale with revenue.”

These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Tigo’s management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed, or that will be disclosed in, our reports filed with the SEC, factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, our ability to effectively develop and sell our product offerings and services; the risk that recovery in Europe and other solar markets is slower than anticipated or does not occur; slower-than-anticipated adoption and sales of GO ESS, including in the United States and Italy; further delays in our U.S. optimized inverter partner’s go-to-market launch or ordering, the risk that orders do not increase in early 2027 as expected, and the risk that anticipated revenue is reduced or not realized rather than merely deferred; our ability to sustain gross margins and a lower cost structure, maintain liquidity and a stronger balance sheet, and achieve profitable growth, particularly if sales volumes do not recover as anticipated; changes in product and geographic sales mix, customer credit risk and bad debt charges, and the risk that benefits from tariff refunds related to prior periods do not recur; our ability to compete in the highly competitive and evolving solar industry; our ability to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, and the liquidity and trading of our securities; our ability to manage risks associated with U.S. and global geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions including the potential softening of the economy, seasonal trends and the cyclical nature of the solar industry; whether we continue to grow our customer base and expand our market share; whether we continue to develop new products and innovations to meet constantly evolving customer demands; the timing and level of demand for our solar energy solutions; changes in and the availability of government subsidies and economic incentives, including tax incentives, for solar energy solutions, and the impact of reduced subsidies in Europe and the expiration of the U.S. residential solar tax credit on demand; trade tariffs and other trade barriers that could directly affect us, our customers and the solar industry; our ability to forecast our customer demand and manufacturing requirements, and manage our inventory; our ability to acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products or services to grow the business and realize the anticipated benefits therefrom; our ability to respond to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and political unrest and regulatory changes in the U.S. and international markets in which we expand or otherwise operate; macroeconomic conditions in the markets in which we operate, as well as inflation, instability of financial institutions, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns; our failure to attract, hire, retain and train highly qualified personnel in the future; and our ability to maintain key strategic relationships with our partners and distributors.

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and while we may elect to update such forward-looking statements in the future, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise occurring after the date of this communication, except as required by applicable securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

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

The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) may have a material impact on our financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) are presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

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

We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
