Q4-23 and FY 2023 Highlights:

• Revenue in Q4 2023 reached $65.1 million, compared to $61.0 million for the same period last year.

• Net earnings in Q4 2023 were $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $8.1 million in Q4 2022. Net earnings in FY 2023 were $15.4 million compared to a net loss of $23.0 million in FY 2022.

• Adjusted gross margin in FY 2023 was 29.0%, compared to 23.7% in FY 2022.
• On December 31, 2023, the backlog represented 292 days of annualized revenue, 8 days higher than the previous quarter and 39 days higher than the same period last year, primarily due to increasing demand in both terrestrial renewable energy and space solar power.
