Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On September 30, 2025, through the closing of a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and a Joint Venture Operating Agreement (“JVOA”) with Hover Energy LLC (“Hover”), the Company sold a 49% interest in its subsidiary, EverOn Energy LLC (“EverOn” or the “JV”) to Hover, and issued 20,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B”) to Hover, in exchange for which Hover contributed certain Microgrid Projects to the JV. On the same day, EverOn executed related supply and management services agreements with Hover and the Company. The series of transactions (altogether hereinafter referred to as the “Acquisition”) resulted in the Company obtaining a controlling financial interest in a newly created EverOn business (i.e., prior to the series of transactions, the EverOn legal entity had no business, operations or assets). As a result, the Company has accounted for the transactions as an acquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations.
In connection with the JVOA, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series B to Hover preliminarily valued at $1,526 per share for an aggregate value of approximately $30.5 million. Together with i) the Company’s contribution of $5.2 million in assets capitalized by the Company under the SAA which relate directly to the Hover project pipeline contributed to EverOn, and ii) $0.9 million in developed software contributed, the total consideration paid for the Company’s 51% interest was $36.5 million and the preliminary estimated fair value of Hover’s 49% non-controlling interest was determined to be $20.4 million. The Company has determined, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, that the enterprise value of the JV was approximately $56.9 million.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and related notes give effect to the Acquisition and were prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Company has not included an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet because the balance sheet impact of the Acquisition is included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
The pro forma financial information set forth below gives effect to the Acquisition and the application of the acquisition method of accounting. The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with:
-The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;
-The Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025;
-The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025;
-The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of future results subsequent to the acquisition as they do not reflect the costs of any post close integration activities or any cost savings or synergies that may be achieved because of the Acquisition.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
1. Description of Acquisition and Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
On September 30, 2025, through the closing of a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and a Joint Venture Operating Agreement (“JVOA”) with Hover Energy LLC (“Hover”), the Company sold a 49% interest in its subsidiary, EverOn Energy LLC (“EverOn” or the “JV”) to Hover, and issued 20,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B”) to Hover, in exchange for which Hover contributed certain Microgrid Projects to the JV. On the same day, EverOn executed related supply and management services agreements ("MSAs") with Hover and the Company. The series of transactions (altogether hereinafter referred to as the “Acquisition”) resulted in the Company obtaining a controlling financial interest in a newly created EverOn business (i.e., prior to the series of transactions, the EverOn legal entity had no business, operations or assets). As a result, the Company has accounted for the transactions as an acquisition of a business pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. Refer to Note 6 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K for a more detailed description of the Acquisition and related accounting considerations.
Because the Company and Hover each contributed only assets (i.e., neither entity contributed a "business"), EverOn only became a business after the parties' respective assets were contributed followed by EverOn's signing of MSAs with both the Company and Hover simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition. As a result, there are no historical EverOn business operations to present in the "Historical EverOn" column of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma information included herein.
In connection with the JVOA, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series B to Hover preliminarily valued at $1,526 per share for an aggregate value of approximately $30.5 million. Together with i) the Company’s contribution of $5.2 million in assets capitalized by the Company under the SAA which relate directly to the Hover project pipeline contributed to EverOn, and ii) $0.9 million in developed software contributed, the total consideration paid for the Company’s 51% interest was $36.5 million and the preliminary estimated fair value of Hover’s 49% non-controlling interest was determined to be $20.4 million. The Company determined, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, that the enterprise value of the JV was approximately $56.9 million.
The Company has not included an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet because the balance sheet impact of the Acquisition is included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations have been included for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 and have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been presented as if the Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2024.
A summary of consideration paid in the Acquisition and the related purchase price acquisition is included below:
Consideration for Company's 51% Interest (in thousands): | | | | |
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issued to Hover | | $ | 30,523 | |
OASIS Software contributed to EverOn at fair value | | | 860 | |
Capitalized development costs subsumed | | | 5,150 | |
Total Consideration for Company's 51% | | | 36,533 | |
Fair value of Hover's 49% NCI | | | 20,411 | |
Total Fair Value of Invested Capital (i.e., Consideration) | | $ | 56,944 | |
The total fair value of invested capital of $56,944,000 was then allocated to identifiable assets and goodwill with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, as follows:
| | Fair Value (in thousands) | | | Estimated Useful Life (in years) | |
| | | | | | | | |
Customer relationships | | $ | 26,190 | | | | 24 | |
Favorable contracts | | | 10,930 | | | | 15 | |
OASIS software | | | 860 | | | | 15 | |
Goodwill | | | 18,964 | | | Indefinite | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total Fair Value of Invested Capital | | $ | 56,944 | | | | | |
No liabilities were assumed in connection with the transaction. The JV had no assets other than those included in the purchase price allocation above prior to the Acquisition. The excess of the total fair value of invested capital over the net identifiable assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill of $19.0 million, which is attributable to expected synergies and the premium paid for control of the JV. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
2. Pro Forma Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations information reflect the following Acquisition transaction related adjustments.
(a) MSA agreements for services to be provided to EverOn from the Company and Hover over a two year term for a total of $450,000 per month ($225,000 per month after intercompany elimination of the Company's fee) beginning on January 1, 2026 (i.e., three months post-closing). Adjustment relates to the addition of the MSA fee for months prior to the September 30, 2025 acquisition date, calculated as follows (in thousands):
No. months payments (2 year term with no payments for first 3 months) | | 21 mos. | |
Monthly payment amount | | $ | 225 | |
Total payments over MSA term | | $ | 4,725 | |
Monthly MSA expense (SG&A) (total pmts divided by 24 mos.) | | $ | 197 | |
