Revenue came in at $219.48 million, up 7.4% year over year and ahead of the $204.23 million consensus by 7.47%, while a non-GAAP loss of $1.14 per share narrowly beat the $1.16 estimate. The most material driver behind the improvement was a dramatic recovery in gross margin, which flipped to positive 8.0% on a GAAP basis from negative 57.2% in Q4 2024, as the write-offs and inventory impairments that had ravaged prior quarters largely subsided. The company also posted a second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow at $19.85 million, a stark contrast to the negative $243.37 million recorded a year ago. Still, with some analysts remaining deeply skeptical about the path to sustained profitability, the forward guidance will matter; management is projecting Q2 revenues of $265 million to $285 million, though flagged roughly two percentage points of gross margin headwind from new tariffs.

Key Takeaways

  • Second consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow generation
  • Sequential revenue increase of 12% from prior quarter
  • GAAP gross margin improvement to 8.0% from negative 57.2% in prior quarter
  • Significant reduction in operating expenses both GAAP and non-GAAP
  • Shipped 1,208 MW (AC) of inverters and 180 MWh of batteries for PV applications
