4Bad News, Challenges, or Points of Concern

Revenue decline attributed to a significant drop in DC sales (down 28% quarter-over-quarter) and overall softness in the North American EV market (down 27% year-over-year).

The refinancing process created uncertainty, leading to postponed orders from customers and reduced orders from distribution partners.

The North American market remains challenging due to the removal of incentives and tax credits, impacting sales.

The company noted that APAC and LatAm markets are currently small contributors, with sales in APAC being negligible.
