Filing receipts

Loss from continuing operations increased by $64.0 million to $79.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $15.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by a non-cash change in fair value of customer warrants of $70.2 million and an increase in income tax expense of $2.2 million, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of $6.6 million.

The increase is primarily driven by an increase in share price of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which resulted in the increase in stock-based compensation expense for grants to senior members of management, including an increase in the valuation of stock appreciation rights Research and development costs increased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The increase is primarily driven by the increased revenue as described above as well as the product mix of higher large-project volume which carries higher costs needed to complete certain projects.
