Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights: Business Highlights: "Customer response to our expanding product offerings and rebrand has been very favorable," said Dan Shugar, founder and CEO of Nextpower. "We delivered solid financial performance in our first quarter as Nextpower, with strong demand across our business lines and a record backlog. The demand environment remains robust in the U.S. and other global markets, and we’re very excited about the potential of our new joint venture Nextpower Arabia for the MENA region." "Our strong financial performance and disciplined capital allocation continue to strengthen Nextpower’s financial position," said Chuck Boynton, chief financial officer of Nextpower. "We achieved an investment grade credit rating and announced a share repurchase program with authorization for repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock over three years, reflecting confidence in our cash flow generation and balance sheet strength. Supported by the strength of our bookings and execution, we are raising our FY26 outlook." Share Repurchase Program: As we announced in our current report on Form 8-K today, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of Nextpower’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The share repurchase program has a term of three years and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of repurchases will be determined by the company in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with Nextpower’s working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. The execution of the share repurchase program will depend on the market price of our common stock and other factors, and there can be no assurance that any shares will be purchased under the share repurchase program. Adjusted EBITDA range of $810 million to $830 million excludes approximately $142 million for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and net intangible amortization. Adjusted Diluted EPS range of $4.26 to $4.36 excludes approximately $0.83 for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and net intangible amortization, net of impacts for tax. Our outlook assumes the current U.S. policy environment remains intact, and in addition, that permitting processes and timelines will remain consistent with historical levels. We are monitoring potential regulatory actions which could impact project timing, investment decisions and our financial results.

Use of Adjusted Financial Information An explanation and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is presented in Schedules III, IV and V attached to this press release, and can be found, along with other financial information including the Earnings Presentation, on the investor relations section of our website at investors.nextpower.com. Channels for Disclosure of Information Nextpower intends to announce material information to the public through the Nextpower Investor Relations website, investors.nextpower.com, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, and public webcasts. Nextpower uses these channels to communicate with its investors, customers, and the public about the company, its offerings, and other issues. As such, Nextpower encourages investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above and to review the information disclosed through such channels.   See the accompanying notes on Schedule V attached to this press release Schedule V Nextpower Inc. Notes To supplement Nextpower’s unaudited selected financial data presented consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges and gains, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted free cash flow. These supplemental measures exclude certain legal and other charges, stock-based compensation expense and intangible amortization, other discrete events as applicable and the related tax effects. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with Nextpower’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Nextpower’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s performance. In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Company’s ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, for calculating return on investment, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering: The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures: Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of unvested restricted share unit and stock option awards granted to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of its operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on its operating results. Intangible amortization consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors. Acquisition costs consist primarily of nonrecurring transaction costs, including integration and diligence activities on new and potential business acquisitions. Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the various adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income and certain adjustments related to non-recurring settlements of tax contingencies or other non-recurring tax charges, when applicable. Revolver extinguishment cos t consists of nonrecurring costs for the termination of our existing credit agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2023.
