WeEffective areDecember 31, 2025, we no longer qualify as a “smaller reporting company” and commencing with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026, we may no longer take advantage of certainreduced scaleddisclosure disclosures available to us. We cannot be certain if the reducedand reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.companies.

Added

Based on the market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates as of the last business day of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, we no longer qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act effective December 31, 2025. Therefore, beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026, we will no longer be eligible to rely on the reduced disclosure and reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies which may increase costs and regulatory burdens. Any failure to comply with the increased disclosure and the reporting requirements could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Removed

We are a “smaller reporting company” (“SRC”) as defined in the Exchange Act. As an SRC, we are permitted to comply with scaled disclosure obligations in our SEC filings as compared to other issuers who are not SRCs, including with respect to disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We have elected to adopt the accommodations available to SRCs. Until we cease to be an SRC, the scaled disclosure in our SEC filings will result in less information about our company being available than for public companies that are not SRCs.

Removed

We will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Removed

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on certain scaled disclosures that are available to SRCs. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Reworded

In prior periods, we disclosed that substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern existed due to liquidity constraintsconstraint and recurring operating losses.

Added

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $29.2 million, $195.5 million, and $106.4 million, and generated cash flows from operating activities of $75.9 million, $2.8 million, and used cash flow in operating activities of $75.3 million, respectively.

Reworded

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we incurred net losses of $195.5 million, $106.4 million and $158.2 million, and generated/(used) cash flows from/(in) operating activities amounting to $2.8 million, $(75.3) million and $(53.9) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,2025, wethe Company had working capital of $97.9 million, shareholders’stockholders’ equity of $387.9$410.5 million, andincluding an accumulated deficit of $1,122.2 million, cash and cash equivalents of $73.0$105.0 million, restricted cash of $64.3 million and other current assets of $279.5 million. In addition, asAs of December 31, 2024,2025, wethe heldCompany had outstanding bank borrowings of $111.7$106.3 million, with $70.7$93.1 million due within the next 12 months, a bond payable of $41.7 million that matures in January 2027, a convertible loan with repayment amount of $26.5 million that matures in May 2026, and other current liabilities of $259.5$254.4 millionmillion. andAdditionally, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had $48.2$37.2 million in purchase commitments primarily related to inventory, and $53.2$16.4 million in capital commitments with $30.7$14.2 million due within the next 12 months.

Reworded

Based on the Company's current business plan, the existing cash and assets held for sale may not be sufficient to fund operations through the next twelve months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about ourthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However management has concluded that there is not substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because it is probable that management’s plans regarding cash flow and debt management described in Note 2 to the financial statements and elsewhere in this report will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. These plans are subject to significant uncertainties, including our ability to increase cash flow, the accuracy of our cash flow projections and the fact that our revenues are highly concentrated on a few customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to remain a going concern.

Added

The Company plans to alleviate the substantial doubt by obtaining sufficient funding through operations, sales of common stock, and refinancing short-term borrowings. The Company has concluded it is probable that the execution of these plans will alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to alleviate these concerns. For more information, please see Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Reworded

As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had outstanding bank borrowings of $111.7$106.3 million of which the amount to be paid in the next 12 months is $70.7$93.1 million, convertible loan of $26.5 million (including the paid in kind interest amount) and other current liabilities of $259.5$254.4 million, includingwhich include accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.others. We also had purchase commitments for non-cancelable contractual obligations primarily related to purchases of inventory of $48.2$37.2 million as of December 31, 2024.2025.

Reworded

As of December 31, 2024,2025, the GroupCompany had outstanding payables of $27.3$3.1 million related to the Tennessee facility. The GroupCompany is actively working with suppliers. Some of those suppliers have filed liens while others have filed lawsuits and we have entered into settlement agreements that include stays of proceedings, payment adjustments and lien releases.

Reworded

The development, design, manufacturemanufacture, and sale of batteries is a capital-intensive business, which we currently finance through various types of financings. As a result of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we expect to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenues to cover these expenditures for a number of years.

Reworded

Our cash and cash equivalents balances are concentrated in a few locations around the world, with approximately 63% and 74%59% of those balances held outside of the U.S. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.2025. Cash repatriation costs and restrictions limit our ability to repatriate cash held by our foreign subsidiaries and intercompany dividends. Additionally, the repatriation of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries may result in adverse tax consequences. Any repatriation of cash may be restricted or may result in our incurring substantial costs. For instance, we may be unable to repatriate cash from China and Germany to pay our accounts payable in the U.S. and fund the continued expansion of our U.S. operations. As a result, we must currently, and may in the future be required to, seek sources of cash to fund our operations outside of our subsidiaries, including through the issuance of equity securities, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders, or by incurring additional indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure sources of financing on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Reworded

Our recent inability to timely pay certain contractors at our Clarksville, Tennessee facility has resulted in the filing of mechanics liens against the Clarksville facility project. The effect of mechanics liens is to secure a contractor's right to payment of past due amounts by using our real property as collateral for such amounts. We have outstanding payables in relation to assets and services provided for the Clarksville expansion amounting to $27.3$3.1 million that are related to our suppliers as of December 31, 2024.2025. Further, there are several suppliers which have filed liens, most of which are with the county in which the Tennessee project is situated, with a total amount of $24.4$23.6 million being claimed against us as of December 31, 2024.2025. We are currently in certain lawsuits with suppliers alleging that we failed to pay for the services performed or equipment or materials delivered. For more information on our pending legal proceedings, please see Note 28.27. Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Reworded

We are working to resolve these matters but there is no guarantee that we will be successful in doing so at all or on favorable terms. The filing of mechanics liens and/or litigation could delay the financing or construction project while the matters are resolved, increase the overall cost of the project due to legal fees and potential settlements, limit our ability to obtain financing for our Clarksville, Tennessee expansion project, and/or have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditioncondition, and operating results.

Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption of EVs by commercial-vehicle and specialty-vehicle operators and consumers. If the markets for EVs in China, EuropeEurope, or the U.S. do not develop as we expect or develop more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial conditioncondition, and operating results will be harmed, because demand for our products and services will not increase as expected or may even be reduced. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, numerous competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors.

In anticipation of an expected increase in the demand for electric vehicles in the next few years, we have commercialized five types of ultra-fast charging lithium battery technologies (LpTO, LpCO, MpCO, HpCOHpCO, and HnCO). We also intend to continue to invest in R&D of more ultra-fast charging lithium battery products and to expand the range of applications for such batteries. However, the markets we have targeted, primarily those in China, EuropeEurope, and the U.S. may not achieve the level of growth we expect. If any market fails to achieve our expected level of growth, we may have excess manufacturing capacity and may not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve or sustain our profitability.

Reworded

We have expanded and expect to continue to expand our battery manufacturing capacity to meet the expected demand for our products. Such expansion will require significant capital expenditures. In addition, expansion imposes significant added responsibilities on our senior management and our resources, including financial resources and the need to identify, recruit, maintainmaintain, and integrate additional employees. Our expansion will also expose us to greater overhead and support costs and other risks associated with the manufacture and commercialization of new products. Difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecastingforecasting, and other process control issues presented by such expansion could harm our business, prospects, results of operationsoperations, and financial condition. Even if we succeed in expanding our manufacturing capacity, we may not have enough demand for our products to justify the increased capacity. If there is a persistent mismatch in the demand for our products and our manufacturing capacity, our business, financial conditioncondition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Reworded

If we are unable to increase our manufacturing output because of any of the risks described above, we may be unable to fulfill customer orders or achieve the growth we expect. Under our supply agreements with our customers, we would typically be liable to pay a charge of between 0.001% and 0.5% of the total contract price per day for our delay in delivering products, as well as any resulting costs and expenses incurred by the customers. In addition, if we are unable to fulfill customer orders, our reputation could be affected, and our customers could source battery systems from other companies. With a global supply chain, some raw material lead times are above average and can be challenging when responding to significant increases in customer demand. The combination of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial conditioncondition, and results of operations.

Reworded

Our battery systems contain lithium-ion cells, which have been used for years in laptops and cell phones. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials. Highly publicized incidents of laptop computers and cell phones bursting into flames have focused consumer attention on the safety of these cells. Moreover, there have been numerous widely publicized reports of electric buses bursting into flames, particularly in China. These events have also raised questions about the suitability of these lithium-ion cells for automotive applications. We are aware of at least two incidents occurring in our customers’ vehicles. One incident resulting in a fire arose when an electric bus powered by our battery was left on a disqualified charger overnight. The other incident resulting in a fire involved a bus that was driven through deep water in a flood for over an hour. We have subjected our battery systems to various tests and damaging treatments such as baking, overcharging, crushingcrushing, or puncturing to assess the response of our battery systems to deliberate and sometimes destructive abuse. However, there can be no assurance that a field failure of our battery systems will not occur, which could damage the vehicle in which it is fitted or lead to personal injury or death and may subject us to lawsuits. Moreover, any failure of a competitor’s battery system, especially those that use a high volume of cells similar to ours, may cause indirect adverse publicity for us. Such adverse publicity would negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Reworded

Due to the nature of our industry and our limited operating history, we have a limited customer base and have depended on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue. In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022,2025, we sold our electric battery products to 297,314 343 and 364 customers, respectively.customers. Our top five customers accounted for approximately 60.0%, 48.6% and 36.1%58.4% of our revenues in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022,2025 respectively. Our limited customer base and customer concentration could make it difficult to negotiate attractive prices for our products and could expose us to the risk of substantial losses if a single dominant customer stops purchasing, or significantly reduces orders for, our products. We expect that a limited number of customers will continue to contribute a significant portion of our sales in the near future. Our ability to maintain close relationships with these top customers is essential to the growth and profitability of our business. If we fail to sell our products to one or more of these top customers in any particular period, or if a large customer purchases fewer of our products, defers orders or fails to place additional orders with us, or if we fail to develop additional major customers, our revenue could decline,decline and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Reworded

While government programs in the U.S., China and in Europe promote the purchase of electric vehicles, including through disincentives that discourage the use of gasoline-powered vehicles, it is unclear if such policies will continue. Any reduction, elimination or selective application of tax and other governmental programs and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such programs due to the perceived success of the electric vehicle, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of the electric vehicle industry generally, or our electric vehicles in particular, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the current U.S. presidential administration has issued executive orders to revoke certain executive orders from the prior administration, which directed federal agencies to review and potentially revise vehicle fuel efficiency and emissions standards. The revocation of these prior executive orders may decrease the demand and reduce the value of the greenhouse gas credits and similar regulatory credits, which we may sell to other manufacturers. Further, we cannot guarantee that the current governmental incentives and subsidies available for purchasers of electric vehicles will remain available. For example, beginning in 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 eliminated the $7,500 federal sales tax credit for sedans that have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price over $55,000 and for SUVs that have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price over $80,000, although a tax credit remains available for vehicles that are leased rather than purchased. In addition, the current U.S. presidential administration has issued a policy statement aimed at eliminating the “electric vehicle mandate,” which targets state emissions waivers and governmental subsidies. Corresponding executive orders may be further issued to implement this policy. If such government programs are reduced or eliminated, or the available benefits thereunder are exhausted earlier than anticipated, demand for electric vehicles may decrease and our sales of electric battery products could be adversely affected. In addition, customers may delay taking delivery of our battery products if they believe that certain electric vehicle incentives will be available at a later date, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Reworded

Major advancements in alternative technologies like fuel cells, advanced diesel, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, or breathing batteries could unexpectedly and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial health, and operational results. Existing and other battery technologies, fuels or sources of energy may emerge as customers’ preferred alternatives to our battery products. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced alternative products, which could result in decreased revenue and a loss of market share to our competitors. .For example, research on the electrochemical applications of carbon nanotechnology and other storage technologies is developing at a rapid pace, and many private and public companies and research institutions are actively engaged in the development of new battery technologies based on carbon nanotubes, nanostructured carbon materials and other non-carbon materials. If we fail to adopt these new technologies, or develop new technologies of our own, such technologies may, if successfully developed by our competitors, offer significant performance or price advantages compared with our technologies and our technology leadership and competitive strengths may be adversely affected.

Reworded

On the other hand, our competitors may improve their technologies or even achieve technological breakthroughsadvancements either as alternatives to lithium-based battery systems or improvements on existing lithium-based battery systems that would render our products obsolete or less marketable. Therefore, our failure to effectively keep up with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards by introducing new and enhanced products may cause us to lose our market share and to suffer a decrease in our revenue.

Reworded

The market for batteries used in electric vehicles, light electric vehicles and ESS is intensely competitive and is characterized by frequent technological changes and evolving industry standards. We expect competition to become more intense. Increased competition may result in a decline in average selling prices, causing a decrease in gross profit margins. We have faced and will continue to face competition from other manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries, as well as from companies engaged in the development of batteries incorporating new technologies. There are other competitors capable of manufacturing and delivering fast-charging battery systems that can charge as quickly as our LpTO and LpCO power battery solutions and we cannot assure you that they will not try to enter the markets that we are targeting with our product. For example, certain battery manufacturers offer lithium-based battery solutions that can be fully charged within a similar amount of time as our battery solutions, but with much shorter life cycles compared to our solutions. Other major manufacturers of high-power lithium batteries currently include Panasonic, Samsung SDI, BYD, CATL, Tianjin Lishen, Boston-Power, Wanxiang Group, Amperex TechnologyTechnology, and LG Chem. In addition, vehicle manufacturers, such as GM, Ford, RivianRivian, and Tesla,Tesla have entered the markets for our products and may become our competitors, either directly or through joint venture arrangements with major lithium-based battery manufacturers. Potential customers may choose to do business with these or other established vehicle manufacturers who enter the markets for our products because of their perception that vehicle manufacturers are more stable, have greater manufacturing capacity and have the capability to adapt battery products to their vehicles.

Our large-scale machinery may malfunction unexpectedly, requiring repairs and potentially unavailable spare parts.Unexpectedparts. Unexpected malfunctions of our production equipment may significantly affect the intended operational efficiency. While the manufacturing equipment field is maturing, there are still significant changes and improvements occurring with respect to manufacturing devices. Such changes pose a risk that our manufacturing line will become outdated faster than anticipated. Expenses to upgrade equipment to more cutting-edge designs may be necessary, raising costs.

Reworded

We currently purchase certain key raw materials for our electrodes and a variety of other components from third parties, some of which we only source from one supplier or from a limited number of suppliers. For the yearsyear ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022,2025, we purchased 19%, 15% and 18% of our raw materials from twoone suppliers.supplier. We execute long-term contracts with suppliers for our key raw materials and components. Due to customer forecast variability, suppliers may be unable to satisfy our future requirements on a timely basis. Moreover, the price of purchased raw materials, components and assembled batteries could fluctuate significantly due to circumstances beyond our control. If our current suppliers are unable to satisfy our long-term requirements on a timely basis, we may be required to seek alternative sources for necessary materials and components, produce the raw materials or components in-house or redesign our proposed products to accommodate available substitutes or at a reasonable cost. However, given our current state of business, we may not be able to enter into the required manufacturing supply agreements with the battery manufacturers and component suppliers. If we fail to secure a sufficient supply of key raw materials and components and we are unable to produce them in-house in a timely fashion, it would result in a significant delay in our manufacturing and shipments, which may cause us to breach our sales contracts with our customers. Furthermore, failure to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials and components or produce them in-house at a reasonable cost could also harm our revenue and gross profit margins.

Lingering inflation above the Federal Reserve's target rate, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, including hostilities with Iran, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and other macroeconomic factors has caused prices to increase across various sectors of the economyeconomy, and we have been impacted by increases in the prices of our raw materials and other associated manufacturing costs. In particular, we have experienced rising costs or volatility in the prices for raw materials such as polyvinylidene difluoride, lithium salts and carbonates. At this time, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass any portion of such increases on to customers. Further, we currently do not hedge against our exposure to changing raw material prices. As a result, fluctuations in raw material prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

In addition, the Trumpcurrent AdministrationU.S. government has indicated that it may propose a significant increase in tariff rates on various types of goods imported from Asia that could apply to the raw materials we require. In the event that any such possible tariff increases become enacted, they could significantly increase the cost of our imported components whenever the increased rates become effective.

Our future success heavily depends on the continued service of our senior executives and other key employees. In particular, we rely on the expertise and experience of our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yang Wu, Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Shengxian Wu and our Chiefother Technologysenior Officer, Dr. Wenjuan Mattis.executives. If one or more of our other senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in their present positions, we may encounter similar problems, but on a compounded basis. Moreover, if any of our current or former senior executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, suppliers, know-how and key personnel. EachMany of our executive officers hashave entered into an employment agreement with us, which contains non-competition and confidentiality clauses. However, if any dispute arises between our current or former executive officers and us, it is hard to predict the extent to which any of these agreements could be enforced in different countries.

After initially focusing on the Asia & Pacific regions, we have expanded and continue to expand our presence and product promotion to Europe and the U.S. and elsewhere. For instance, for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022,2025 we derived 66.5%, 49.0% and 35.2%, respectively,67% of our sales from outside of China, including sales in the U.S., Italy, France, Germany, India, Singapore, the U.K., among others. As a result, we are subject to differences in these markets in regulatory requirements for product testing, intellectual property protection (including patents and trademarks), tax incentive policy, legal systems and rules, marketing costs, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and changes in political and economic conditions.

InFor example, in August 2022, the United States passed the IRA, which includesincluded a number of government incentives that support the adoption of energy storage products and services and could potentially benefit the Company and its operations. OnHowever, on January 16, 2025, the U.S. Department of Treasury released its Guidance on Domestic Content Bonus for Clean Energy Credits, which included adjustments impacting battery electric storage systems. The Trump Administration has also issued executed orders that potentially impact ESS and EV operations. For instance, on January 20, 2025, the Trump Administration issued the Unleashing American Energy Executive Order that paused the disbursement of funds appropriated through the IRA. This pause could, among other things, delay or disrupt the rollout of EV charging stations. Further, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") into law. The OBBBA fundamentally transforms the IRA's system of clean energy tax credits, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The OBBBA introduces accelerated repeal schedules for most renewable energy tax credits, compresses deadlines for certain projects to qualify for credits, enhances domestic content requirements, eliminates several electric vehicle and residential energy incentives, and implements new foreign entity of concern restrictions barring certain foreign entities from accessing credits. Under the OBBBA, the Clean Vehicle (New EVs) Credit program and the Commercial Clean Credit Credit were terminated September 30, 2025, and the Residential Clean Energy Credit and Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit were terminated December 31, 2025. These terminations occurred earlier than planned under the IRA, with the termination of the Clean Vehicle Credit program occurring seven years earlier than originally planned. However, some of the IRA's incentives, such as the Clean Electricity Investment Credit remain intact for the next several years. Future implementation of the OBBBA, guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury or other federal administrative agencies, or executive orders or policies issued or adopted by the current administration, could be adverse to our interests and could therefore harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes or increases in tariffs, trade restrictions, trade agreements, non-tariff trade barriers, local content requirements, uncertainty surrounding global trade policies, and the imposition of new or retaliatory tariffs against other countries or covering certain products may affect our competitive position and result in increased costs for products manufactured in the United States using inputs from other countries. For example, on February 1, 2025, President Trump imposed a 10% additional tariff on Chinese products imported into the United States and increased this rate by an additional 10% on March 3, 2025. If maintained, these and other potential tariffs yet to be announced or imposedTariffs may have an adverse impactsimpact on general economic conditions and our business, the exact outcomes of which are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and China or other foreign countries, the duration of such tariffs, the responses of other countries or regions to such tariffs, the actual increases in the costs of imported foreign products and raw materials, and exemptions or exclusions that may be granted. Should tariffs increase and be sustained, our inventory acquisition and carrying costs may be increased, which costs may be passed on to us and consumers through higher prices for our products. These increased prices may adversely impact our new product sales and demand for such products, potentially impacting our ability to sell them profitably.

Restrictions on the ability of U.S. companies to invest in the PRC may impact our business.

Added

We are subject to laws and regulations that restrict the ability of U.S. companies to engage in certain investments in the PRC. For example, the U.S. Outbound Investment Security Program (the “OISP”), which became effective on January 2, 2025, prohibits certain transactions connected to the PRC, with the stated goal of preventing the transfer of capital and intangible benefits that could be used to accelerate the development of sensitive technologies. The OISP is currently limited to investments related to semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies, and/or artificial intelligence; however, we expect the U.S. government to modify and expand the scope of OISP over time to cover additional sectors. Such changes may limit our ability to make or maintain certain investments in China and impact our fundraising activities, strategic initiatives, financial performance and growth prospects. Additionally, U.S. persons may be subject to notification requirements or prohibitions in relation to certain transactions with us.

Reworded

As a manufacturer, we are subject to various environmental laws and regulations on air emission,emissions, wastewater discharge, solid waste, noise and the use, generation, and disposal of hazardous materials. Cobalt and lithium are toxic materials that are important raw materials in our batteries. We also use, generate and discharge other toxic, volatile and hazardous chemicals and wastes in our research, development and manufacturing activities. One of our manufacturing sites is in China, and under PRC environmental regulations we are required to maintain the pollutant emission levels at each of our facilities within the levels prescribed by the relevant governmental authorities and obtain a pollution discharge permit for our water and air emissions. We are also required to design and build environmental treatment facilities concurrently with the construction of our manufacturing facilities, where waste air, wastewateremissions, water discharges, and solid waste solids we generate can be treated in accordance with the relevant requirements.

Reworded

In addition, certain laws and regulations require enterprises like us that generate hazardous waste generators to engage third-party companies whichthat are licensed and qualified to process the hazardous waste, and to collect, store, dispose of and transfer the hazardous waste. If we fail to comply with national and local environmental protection laws and regulations, the relevant governmental authorities may impose fines or deadlines to cure instances of noncompliance and may even order us to cease operations if we fail to comply with their requirements. In particular, any breach by us in connection with requirements relating to the handling of hazardous waste may subject us to monetary damages and fines. In addition, if any third party suffers any loss as a result of our pollutant emission practices, our improper handling of hazardous waste or our noncompliance with environmental regulations, such third parties may seek damages from us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all environmental laws and regulations at all times as the environmental legal regime is evolving and becoming more stringent in many jurisdictions. If any government imposes more stringent regulations in the future, we will have to incur additional substantial costs and expenses in order to comply with new regulations, which may negatively affect our results of operations. If we fail to comply with any of the present or future environmental regulations in any material aspect or cause any loss to any third parties due to our pollutant emission practices, improper handling of hazardous waste or other environmental noncompliance, we may suffer from negative publicity and may be required to pay substantial fines, pay damages to such third parties, or suspend or even cease operations. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

To the extent we ship our products overseas, or to the extent our products are used in products sold overseas, they may be affected by laws and regulations on the movement of goods. For example, the transportation of non-rechargeable and rechargeable lithium batteries is regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (the “ICAO”), and corresponding rules and regulations of the International Air Transport Association (the “IATA”), the U.S. DOT’s Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (the “PHMSA”), Dangerous Goods Regulations and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and in China by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China and the Maritime Safety Administration of the PRC. These regulations are based on the United Nations,Nations or(the UN,“UN”), Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations and the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. We currently ship our products pursuant to ICAO, IATA and PHMSA hazardous goods regulations. The regulations require companies to meet certain testing, packaging, labeling and shipping specifications for safety reasons. We believe we are in material compliance with all current PRC and international regulations for the shipment of our products and will seek to comply with any new regulations that are imposed. We also believe we have obtained all required certificates for the safe transport of our lithium battery products by airair, water, and water.land. If we are unable to comply with the new regulations, however, or if regulations are introduced that limit our ability to transport our products to customers in a cost-effective manner, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to a variety of litigation, environmental, health and safety and other legal compliance risks. These risks include, among other things, possible liability and legal compliance risks relating to product liability matters, securities law matters, personal injuries, intellectual property rights, contract-related claims, government contracts, health and safety liabilities, environmental matters and compliance with U.S. and foreign laws, competition laws and laws governing improper business practices. We or one of our business units could be charged with alleged wrongdoing as a result of such matters. If convicted or found liable, we could be subject to significant fines, penalties, repayments or other damages (in certain cases, treble damages). As a business with international reach, we are subject to complex laws and regulations in jurisdictions in which we operate, including the U.S., China, the E.U. and the U.K. ThoseThese laws and regulations may be interpreted in different ways. They may also change from time-to-time, as may related interpretations and other guidance. Changes in laws or regulations could result in higher expenses and payments, and uncertainty relating to laws or regulations may also affect how we conduct our operations and structures our investments and could limit our ability to enforce our rights. See the section titled “Business — Legal Proceedings.”

Our insurance coverage strategy may not be adequate to protect us from all business risks.

Added

We may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to losses resulting from products liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against us, for which we may have no insurance coverage. As a general matter, we do not maintain as much insurance coverage as many other companies do, and in some cases, we do not maintain any at all. Additionally, the policies that we do have may include significant deductibles or self-insured retentions, policy limitations and exclusions, and we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future losses or claims against us. A loss that is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits may require us to pay substantial amounts, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.

Reworded

We transact business globally and have foreign currency risks related to our revenue, costs of revenue, operating expenses and localized subsidiary debt denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. To the extent we have significant revenues denominated in such foreign currencies, any strengthening of the U.S. dollar would tend to reduce our revenues as measured in U.S. dollars, as we have historically experienced. We have also experienced, and will continue to experience, fluctuations in our net income as a result of gains (losses) on the settlement and the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies that are not the local currency (primarily consisting of our intercompany and cash and cash equivalents balances). In addition, a portion of our costs and expenses have been, and we anticipate will continue to be, denominated in foreign currencies. If we do not have fully offsetting revenues in these currencies and if the value of the U.S. dollar depreciates significantly against these currencies, our costs as measured in U.S. dollars as a percent of our revenues will correspondingly increase and our margins will suffer. As a result, our operating results may be harmed. The value of our securities will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars, as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future. It is difficult to predict how RMB exchange rates may change.

We believe the energy storage industry is positioned for continued expansion. In 2025, third-party industry data shows that global power capacity grew by approximately 90 gigawatts, an estimated 23% increase from the previous year. Industry projections indicate expected further expansion, with an average CAGR in deployed gigawatts of 23% between 2025 and 2035. The U.S. and China are expected to lead this growth, with U.S. power capacity projected to increase from approximately 45 gigawatts in 2025 to approximately 125 gigawatts by 2030. By refining our technology, we aim to advance our ESS solutions to meet the evolving demand of power sector and complement existing resources in meeting growing global demand for reliable and flexible power. We are leveraging many of the component-level technologies from our commercial vehicle segment to develop our energy storage products.

Removed

We are expanding our production of battery systems and components, with an increased emphasis on ESS solutions to support the broader shift to electrification. Our goal is to become a global leader in ESS, bridging the gap between EVs and renewable energy.

Removed

One of our recent innovations is our high-energy nickel manganese cobalt ("NMC") 53.5 ampere-hour battery cell (the “53.5Ah”). We believe its advanced performance characteristics make it an optimal solution for both commercial vehicle and ESS applications. To bring this product to market, we have made substantial investments in capacity expansion in Huzhou, China, where we operate fully automated production equipment that delivers significant operational efficiencies.

Removed

In previous years, we made significant investments in our capacity expansion in Clarksville, Tennessee and by the fourth quarter of 2023 had started to install certain sections of the production line. However, progress on certain third party construction workstreams as well as taking delivery and possession of further equipment started to be impacted toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the required funding to complete the project not being secured. Ultimately, in the second quarter of 2024, we paused construction efforts on the Clarksville development due to insufficient funding. We made a strategic decision to pivot from the originally planned production of NMC production in Clarksville, Tennessee to the 565Ah lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") battery. We also consolidated our ESS operations previously in Colorado to Clarksville, Tennessee in order to enhance operational efficiencies and speed of deliveries for our U.S. business.

Removed

In August 2024, we introduced the ME6 ESS, featuring the LFP battery. The shift toward LFP technology for the U.S. ESS market is a strategic decision. The ME6 system offers a cycle life exceeding 10,000 cycles, a lifespan of up to 30 years, compact storage capabilities (6 megawatt hours ("MWh") in a 21-foot container), and enhanced reliability through IP55, C4, and nitrogen protection features. The adoption of LFP batteries provides lower costs, greater safety, and environmental benefits compared to NMC technology, further supporting our sustainability goals. Although construction progress has been negatively impacted by funding constraints, our goal is that our Clarksville, Tennessee facility will be our major production facility for LFP cells pending financing and facility completion.

Our ability to scale depends on the timely expansion of our manufacturing footprint. As of December 31, 2025, our order backlog was primarily composed of long-term transit and logistics partners in Europe. To address this demand, we have utilized our capital resources to strategically expand our global production capabilities.

Added

In 2023, we successfully completed the 2 GWh cell, module, and pack production line (Phase 3.1) for our 53.5Ah cell technology at our Huzhou, China facility. This Phase 3.1 line has been operating safely and efficiently, providing a stable manufacturing base. In addition to the 53.5Ah cell, this line also supports the production of our 48Ah and 55Ah cells.

Added

To support our expanding product portfolio, we are building a second 2 GWh production line, Phase 3.2, at our Huzhou, China facility. While this new Phase 3.2 line is primarily configured for the manufacturing of our next-generation 120Ah high-energy cells, it has been designed with flexible tooling and process architecture to accommodate multiple cell formats, including the 53.5Ah, 48Ah, and 55Ah variants. The clean rooms and utility equipment installation have been completed for Phase 3.2. Installation of the production equipment is expected to be completed in 2026, with commissioning and pilot production to follow. This investment enhances our agile manufacturing capability and reinforces our commitment to delivering high-performance solutions across diverse application scenarios.

Added

Construction and equipment installation for our U.S. facility was suspended in the second quarter of 2024 due to funding constraints. We have since pivoted the site's strategic focus from NMC production to our 565Ah LFP battery. Resumption of full-scale construction is contingent upon securing additional financing or strategic partnerships. Once completed, Clarksville is intended to be a vertically integrated hub for LFP cell and ESS container assembly, satisfying domestic content preferences for the U.S. market.

Our growth depends on being able to meet anticipated demand for our products. In order to do this, we will need to increase our manufacturing capacity. As of December 31, 2024, we had a backlog of approximately $401.3 million for our battery systems. So far we have used $475.4 million of the proceeds from the Business Combination to expand our manufacturing facilities in order to increase our manufacturing output, enabling us to address our backlog and to capture growing market opportunities.

In the third quarter of 2023, we successfully completed the 2 GWh cell, module and tray capacity expansion for our 53.5Ah cell technology in Huzhou, China. The demand for our 53.5Ah cell technology from our commercial vehicle customer base will be primarily met from this facility.

Removed

Without access to financing, we are unable to progress the Clarksville expansion project on its intended timetable, and further progress is still contingent on having full access to funding to complete the remaining project work.

Reworded

Future capacity expansions,expansions will require significant capital expenditures and will require a corresponding expansion of our supporting infrastructure, further development of our sales and marketing team, an expansion of our customer basebase, and strengthened quality control. This capacity expansion will be carried out in a measured manner based on our ongoing assessment of medium- and long-term demand for our solutions.

Reworded

The battery industry is subject to stringent and evolving environmental regulations, particularly concerning hazardous waste management, pollution control, and sustainability requirements. Over time, these regulations have become increasingly strict, impacting both product costs and gross margins. In the U.S., newly proposed RCRA regulations for lithium batteries under the EPA are expected to be finalized this year and become effective in 2027, which would create a new waste category specifically for lithium batteries and establish new requirements for transportation, handling, and storage. Compliance with these standards requires continuous investment in manufacturing processes, material sourcing, and waste disposal practices to ensure adherence to environmental mandates across multiple jurisdictions.

Reworded

Additionally, government policies and economic incentives play a critical role in shaping demand for electricthe vehicles (EVs)EV and energyESS storage systems (ESS).markets. Incentives such as EV purchase subsidies, tax credits for battery manufacturers, and renewable energy project grants have historically supported market growth. Similarly, carbon emission penalties and fleet-wide regulatory requirements for automakers further drive the adoption of zero-emission transportation and clean energy solutions. These policies expand our total addressable market, creating opportunities for increased sales and broader adoption of our battery technologies. However, changes in these incentives—such as reductions or eliminations of subsidies—could negatively affect demand for our products.

Our operating expenses consist of selling and marketing, general and administrative expenses (“G&A”), and research and development expenses (“R&D”), expenses.selling and marketing expenses (“S&M”), and impairment loss of long-lived assets.

Removed

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include personnel-related costs for our sales and marketing teams, including salaries, stock-based compensation, and commission-based incentives. These expenses also cover advertising, promotional activities, and customer engagement efforts to drive product awareness and sales growth. As we continue to expand, we plan to hire additional sales personnel, enhance marketing programs, and strengthen customer relationships. Consequently, selling and marketing expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollar terms over the long term.

This volume growth was supported by rising demand for our battery cell products from existing and new customers across the European and U.S. markets. Our full-year revenue was impacted by evolving regulatory shifts in the Korean market and customer platform ramp up delays.

Removed

The surge in volume was fueled by strong demand for our battery cell products from both new and existing customers across the Asia-Pacific and European markets. As we broadened our geographic footprint and strengthened customer relationships, our ability to scale production and meet rising demand contributed to this sustained growth.

In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information set forth below and elsewhere in this Report, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and other reports that we have filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Risks related to our liquidity and indebtedness

Added

Our history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Added

We have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,086.0 million and stockholders’ equity of $543.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we used $33.3 million of cash in operating activities, an unfavorable change of $77.6 million from $44.3 million generated in the prior-year period, driven in part by a 28.8% decline in revenue and a decrease in gross margin from 36.0% to 30.4%. In addition, as of June 30, 2026, $104.2 million of our $118.6 million of borrowings were due within the next 12 months, and the $41.7 million of bonds payable issued by our Chinese subsidiary to a Chinese governmental entity is repayable on or before January 31, 2027.

Added

Our ability to continue operating as a going concern depends on, among other things, our ability to generate sufficient revenue and cash flows from operations, the rate of revenue growth, our ability to manage operating expenses, our ability to refinance or extend maturing borrowings and our ability to obtain additional financing. Factors that could further adversely impact our future revenue and cash generation include, but are not limited to, reduced customer demand, declining sales volume, rising material costs, supply chain disruptions, increased competition, adverse macroeconomic conditions and the loss of key customer relationships. If we are not successful in maintaining demand for our products, or if operating conditions further constrain our cash generation, we may experience additional adverse impacts to revenue, profitability and liquidity. The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect the price of our common stock, our ability to raise capital or enter into strategic transactions and partnerships and market perception.

Added

In particular, our financial condition may cause customers, suppliers, and other partners to reduce their purchases of our products, demand more favorable payment or contract terms, limit the inventory or orders they are willing to commit to, or cease doing business with us altogether. Any such actions could further reduce our revenue, disrupt operations and materially and adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.

Added

Our substantial indebtedness and debt service obligations could adversely affect our competitiveness, our liquidity, our operations and our ability to obtain additional financing.

Added

As of June 30, 2026, our bank borrowings were $118.6 million, our bonds payable were $41.7 million and $104.2 million of our borrowings were due within the next 12 months. Our bonds payable consist of convertible bonds issued by our Chinese subsidiary to a Chinese governmental entity, and the entire outstanding $41.7 million balance is repayable, together with accrued interest, on or before January 31, 2027. We pledged our 12.39% equity holding in our Chinese subsidiary to the lender to facilitate the issuance of these bonds, and the applicable interest rate increases to 12% if we default in repaying the bonds when due. Our total current liabilities included other current liabilities of $197.9 million. We also had outstanding purchase commitments of $37.5 million and capital commitments of $13.2 million, of which $10.7 million were due within 12 months. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we secured $69.4 million of bank borrowings, of which $48.2 million represented refinanced debt.

Added

There can be no assurance that we will be able to repay our indebtedness when due, or that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, in whole or in part, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our high level of indebtedness and corresponding cash debt service obligations could, among other things:

Added

•heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, adverse general economic conditions, and competitive pressures in the battery technology market;

Added

•require us to dedicate a larger portion of our cash flow from operations to interest and principal payments on near-term maturities, limiting the availability of cash for other purposes;

Added

•expose us to the loss of a portion of our equity interest in our principal operating subsidiary in China, or to dilution of that interest, if we fail to repay the bonds at maturity and the bondholder elects to dispose of the pledged equity interests or to convert the bonds into equity interests of our Chinese subsidiary;

Added

•limit our ability to invest in our business and future business opportunities, including the completion of the Clarksville expansion;

Added

•limit our ability to refinance our indebtedness, particularly given our going-concern qualification and negative operating cash flows;

Added

•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry;

Added

•increase our cost of borrowing;

Added

•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and

Added

•impair our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayments or general corporate purposes.

Added

Our ability to meet our cash requirements, including our debt service obligations, is dependent upon our ability to maintain and improve our operating performance, which is subject to general economic and competitive conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our existing liquidity and capital resources may not be sufficient to sustain our business and service our debt obligations, and if our operating results do not meet our expectations or if we experience adverse developments that we do not currently anticipate, we could face liquidity constraints that materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Added

Our plans to mitigate the substantial doubt may not be effectively implemented, and cost-reduction and restructuring actions may themselves strain near-term liquidity.

Added

In response to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, management has developed plans intended to improve our liquidity position, including:

Added

•implementing operating cost reduction initiatives across all areas of the business;

Added

•reducing or deferring certain discretionary capital expenditures;

Added

•negotiating extensions or restructurings of debt obligations within our China operating entities;

Added

•refinancing short-term bank borrowings as they mature; and

Added

•evaluating additional financing alternatives, including potential capital-raising transactions and strategic opportunities.

Added

Certain elements of these plans have not been fully implemented and depend on factors outside our control, including the willingness of lenders to agree to extensions or restructurings, the availability of financing on acceptable terms and the successful execution of cost-reduction initiatives. Management has concluded that these plans cannot be deemed probable of being effectively implemented and, accordingly, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated. The cash costs associated with restructuring actions, including severance payments, facility exit costs and contract termination fees, may further strain our near-term liquidity and could accelerate the timing of a covenant breach or the need for additional financing. There can be no assurance that the initiatives described above will produce the expected benefits or will be sufficient to allow us to maintain liquidity and operations in the ordinary course.

Added

Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may be required to significantly reduce, restructure or cease operations or pursue alternatives including proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Added

We are evaluating additional financing alternatives, including potential capital-raising transactions through debt or equity securities. However, recent equity market conditions and our business performance have rendered equity funding unfavorable as a primary liquidity mechanism. Our current indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in our loan agreements may further limit the types and terms of additional financing available to us. We may not be able to timely secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, due to, among other things, our history of operating losses and negative cash flows, the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, general macroeconomic conditions, market volatility and the terms of our existing indebtedness.

Added

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. Without additional sources of financing, our ability to continue as a going concern would be materially and adversely impacted, and we may be required to significantly reduce, restructure or cease our operations or to pursue other alternatives, including, but not limited to, commencing a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Any such outcome would have a material adverse effect on holders of our common stock, who would likely lose all or substantially all of their investment.

Added

The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers and partners, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and our ability to raise capital or enter into strategic transactions.

Added

The substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and any public disclosure thereof, may adversely affect the willingness of customers, suppliers, and partners to do business with us. In particular, our financial condition may cause customers and partners to reduce their purchases of our products, demand more favorable payment or contract terms, seek alternative suppliers or cease doing business with us altogether. Suppliers may tighten credit terms, require prepayment or cash-on-delivery, reduce allocation of components or decline to extend trade credit.

Added

In addition, the substantial doubt may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified personnel, as current and prospective employees may seek employment with companies perceived to be more financially stable. The loss of key personnel in engineering, manufacturing, sales, or management could disrupt operations and impair our ability to execute on our business strategy. The substantial doubt may also impair our ability to raise capital, enter into strategic transactions or partnerships or negotiate with counterparties on favorable terms. Any of these effects could reduce revenue, increase costs, disrupt operations or further adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

Restrictive covenants, the need for waivers or amendments, cross-default provisions, and acceleration of our indebtedness could adversely affect our liquidity.

Added

Our loan agreements, credit agreements, and bonds payable contain restrictive covenants and customary events of default that may limit our operational and financial flexibility. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all material terms and covenants under its loan agreements, credit agreements, and bonds. However, such compliance does not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our projected cash flows may not be sufficient to meet our debt obligations over the next twelve months, and our ability to satisfy the $104.2 million of near-term maturities depends on the continued refinancing or extension of maturing borrowings. Such refinancing or extension depends on negotiations with lenders and other factors outside our control, and management has concluded that the refinancing plan cannot be deemed probable.

Added

As of June 30, 2026, assets with an aggregate carrying value of $183.2 million were pledged to secure our bank facilities, and $19.8 million of machinery and equipment was separately pledged to secure bank acceptance notes. Outstanding liens totaled $1.8 million.

Added

Our debt arrangements contain cross-default provisions whereby a default under one agreement could result in default under the agreements covering other borrowings. The occurrence of a default under any of our borrowing arrangements would permit our lenders to declare all amounts outstanding under those borrowing arrangements to be immediately due and payable. If our lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets or liquidity to repay those borrowings. Future non-compliance with financial covenants may limit our access to existing facilities, require us to seek waivers or amendments that may not be available on acceptable terms or at all or result in an acceleration of debt obligations, any of which would further adversely impact liquidity.

Added

If we are unable to meet our liquidity requirements, we could be forced to sell assets, restructure or refinance our debt, or raise additional capital on unfavorable terms.

Added

Our ability to meet our liquidity requirements depends in part on our ability to generate cash from operations, refinance or extend maturing borrowings, and obtain additional capital. As of June 30, 2026, cash held by our Chinese subsidiaries ($39.7 million) and European subsidiaries ($23.5 million) cannot currently be repatriated to fund our U.S. operations or the Clarksville expansion due to foreign regulatory restrictions, adverse tax consequences, and localized working capital needs. As a result, the cash and cash equivalents available to fund our U.S. operations and capital commitments are substantially less than our consolidated cash balance of $127.8 million.

Added

If we are unable to generate sufficient operating cash flow or obtain additional financing, we could be forced to sell assets, including assets previously held for sale, restructure or refinance our debt or raise additional capital through sales of equity or debt on terms that may be dilutive or otherwise unfavorable. We have previously funded U.S. investment requirements from held-for-sale asset proceeds. We may be unable to take any of these actions on satisfactory terms, in a timely manner, or at all, due to, among other things, our high level of indebtedness, our operating performance and the restrictions in our existing debt agreements. Any of these actions may not be sufficient to allow us to service our debt obligations or maintain our operations, and our failure to generate sufficient operating cash flow to pay our debt obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

We may not remain in compliance with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Stock Market. If we do not maintain compliance, or regain compliance following any period of non-compliance, our common stock may be delisted, which could affect the market price and liquidity for our common stock and reduce our ability to raise additional capital.

Added

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

Added

Beginning on July 13, 2026, the closing bid price of our common stock has been below $1.00 per share. We anticipate that, if the closing bid price of the common stock remains below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we will receive a noncompliance letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq notifying us that we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As of the date of this filing, we have not received any such letter from Nasdaq.

Added

We will continue to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and, if we become non-compliant, will seek to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq requirements within the allotted compliance period. Any non-compliance may be costly, divert management’s time and attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financing and results of operations. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, materially adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline further and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

Added

Declines in our market capitalization or operating performance may result in material non-cash impairment charges.

Added

As of June 30, 2026, our long-lived assets had a carrying amount of $537.8 million. We assess our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. When a triggering event is identified, we compare the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from the operation and eventual disposition of the asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.

Added

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a $24.0 thousand impairment loss on long-lived assets. However, our long-lived asset base of $537.8 million remains substantial relative to our market capitalization and recent operating cash flows. Declines in market capitalization, revenue, operating performance or other adverse changes in circumstances, including further deterioration of the business outlook, sustained declines in sales volume or inability to execute on cost-reduction initiatives, may indicate that the carrying amount of our long-lived assets is not recoverable and could result in material non-cash impairment charges in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Added

As of June 30, 2026, we had deferred tax assets of $5.4 million. The going-concern conclusion and our recent operating losses may constitute significant negative evidence regarding the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, which could require an increase in the valuation allowance and result in an additional non-cash charge to income tax expense.

As a global company with operations and sales in China, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and the U.S., we are also exposed to trade policies, tariffs, and regulatory shifts that could impact our ability to meet projected sales and maintain profit margins. Any significant changes in international trade agreements, supply chain restrictions, or geopolitical tensions may influence production costs, material sourcing, and cross-border sales strategies.

Going Concern

Added

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Going Concern, we evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not consider the potential mitigating effect of management's plans that have not been fully implemented. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans to the extent it is probable that 1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and 2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt. Given the uncertainties described in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report and in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and that management's plans to alleviate the substantial doubt cannot be deemed probable, and thus the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated.

The battery industry is subject to stringent and evolving environmental regulations, particularly concerning hazardous waste management, pollution control, and sustainability requirements. Over time, these regulations have become increasingly strict, impacting both product costs and gross margins. In the U.S., newly proposed RCRA universal waste regulations for lithium batteries are expected to be finalized by the EPA as early as August 2027, which would create a new waste category specifically for lithium batteries and establish new requirements for transportation, handling, and storage. Compliance with these standards requires continuous investment in manufacturing processes, material sourcing, and waste disposal practices to ensure adherence to environmental mandates across multiple jurisdictions.

As a global company with operations and sales in China, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and the U.S., we are also exposed to trade policies, tariffs, and regulatory shifts that could impact our ability to meet projected sales and maintain profit margins. Any significant changes in international trade agreements, supply chain restrictions, or geopolitical tensions may influence production costs, material sourcing, and cross-border sales strategies. Changes in tariff policy in particular, whether threatened or implemented, may raise costs for consumers which could lead to softened consumer demand.

We derive revenue from the sales of our electric battery products and components to the commercial vehicle market. While historically concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, our revenue mix has shifted significantly toward Europe which accounted for the largest portion of our revenue mix for boththe six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. This shift reflects our strategy to capture higher-margin opportunities in the European commercial vehicle sectors.

ManagementWe evaluated whether there are conditions andor events,events considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based on our currentrevised business plan, weour projected that the existing cash andflow assets held for sale wouldmay not be sufficient to fund our operations throughand meet debt obligations over the next twelve months. Additionally, recent equity market conditions and business performance have rendered our equity funding unfavorable as a primary liquidity mechanism. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about ourthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Added

As of June 30, 2026 and through the issuance date of these financial statements, our forecast has been significantly impacted by developments including: (1) the 28.8% decrease in revenue and the 24.3% reduction in sales volume from approximately 947.2 MWh to approximately 717.2 MWh, driven by evolving regulatory and geopolitical dynamics including in the Indian and Korean markets, a demand shift toward lower-cost products in India, and OEM platform ramp-up delays in Europe and APAC; (2) the decline in gross margin from 36.0% to 30.4% due to higher raw material prices and lower production utilization, and a moderation in global electric vehicle demand growth driven by the expiration of government incentive programs and shifting regulatory frameworks; (3) the change from $44.3 million of cash generated by operating activities in the prior-year period to $33.3 million used in operating activities, an unfavorable change of $77.6 million; (4) the concentration of near-term maturities, with $104.2 million of our $118.6 million of borrowings due within the next 12 months; and (5) constrained access to capital, including that equity market conditions and business performance have rendered equity funding unfavorable as a primary liquidity mechanism and that cash held by our Chinese and European subsidiaries cannot currently be repatriated to fund our U.S. operations due to foreign regulatory restrictions and adverse tax consequences. As a result, we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows, further reducing liquidity and increasing reliance on external sources of capital. These conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued.
