Beam Global (NASDAQ: BEEM) posts wider Q1 loss as revenue falls
Beam Global reported a weak first quarter of 2026, with revenue falling 51% to $3.1 million from $6.3 million a year earlier as order timing and reduced U.S. federal demand weighed on results. The shift in mix toward commercial and international customers lifted non-government revenue to 78% of the total and increased international revenue to 51%.
The company posted a gross loss of $0.4 million, a negative gross margin of 13.3%, versus a $0.5 million gross profit and 7.9% margin in 2025, reflecting lower volume and fixed-cost under-absorption. Net loss narrowed to $6.9 million, or $0.33 per share, from $15.5 million, or $1.04 per share, mainly because the prior period included a $10.8 million goodwill impairment.
Beam used $2.3 million of cash in operating activities and ended March 31, 2026 with $2.0 million of cash and $6.2 million of working capital. It raised $3.4 million through its at-the-market equity program and still has $11.9 million capacity, plus an undrawn $100 million supply-chain credit facility. Management reserved an additional $1.8 million for credit losses tied to a single customer and increased the allowance to $2.8 million. Backlog rose to about $9.0 million, up from $6.0 million at year-end, led by Smart Cities and energy storage products. Management believes existing resources and converting receivables will fund operations for at least twelve months but acknowledges ongoing losses and potential need for further capital. Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to material weaknesses in internal control.

Insights
Revenue halved and margins turned negative, but losses narrowed on lapping a large goodwill impairment.
Beam Global’s Q1 2026 revenue dropped to $3.1M from $6.3M, driven by order timing and sharply lower U.S. federal sales. The gross margin swung to a negative 13.3%, highlighting under-absorption of fixed manufacturing costs at lower volumes.
Net loss improved to $6.9M versus $15.5M because last year included a $10.8M goodwill impairment. However, operating cash outflow of $2.3M and a higher allowance for credit losses—up $1.8M to $2.8M for one customer—underscore credit and liquidity pressures despite only $2.0M in cash.
Beam raised $3.4M via its ATM program and retains $11.9M of capacity plus an undrawn $100M supply-chain facility, which provide potential funding flexibility. Backlog of roughly $9.0M as of March 31, 2026 offers visibility, but continued net losses and disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting present ongoing risk until consistently positive gross margins and cash generation are demonstrated.

| ● | Energy storage solutions; |
| ● | Energy security and disaster preparedness; |
| ● | Mobile and stationary equipment; |
| ● | Transportation infrastructure products; and |
| ● | Power electronics and telecommunications equipment |
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and our financial position as of March 31, 2026, have been made. All amounts are presented in thousands if otherwise noted. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025. The December 31, 2025 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for certain expected credit losses, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of contingent consideration liability, valuation of intangible assets, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of lease liabilities and the related right of use assets, valuation of share-based costs, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (“ASU 2024-04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2026. The adoption had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recent pronouncement not yet adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements” (“ASU 2023-06”), which amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The ASU was issued in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative issued in August 2018. The effective date for the amendments for each topic will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoptions prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." This guidance requires additional disclosure of certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the Statement of Operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270), Narrow-Scope Improvements, to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact that ASU 2025-11 may have on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable
The Company does business and extends credit based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, the Company’s historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. Exposure to losses from receivables is expected to vary by customer due to the financial condition of each customer. The Company estimates future credit losses based on the age of customer receivable balances, collection history and forecasted economic trends. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses considered necessary under the circumstances. A summary of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025:

Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows the authoritative guidance that establishes a formal framework for measuring fair values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements that are already required by generally accepted accounting principles to be measured at fair value. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability.
The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and accordingly, Level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or published net asset value for alternative investments with characteristics similar to a mutual fund.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Management believes its valuation methods are appropriate, the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at the reporting date. There were no changes in the Company’s valuation methodologies from the prior year.
For purpose of this disclosure, the carrying amounts for financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable – trade, other prepaid expenses and current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities, all approximate fair value due to their short-term nature as of March 31, 2026. The Company had Level 3 liabilities as of March 31, 2026. There were no transfers between levels during the reporting period.

Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock consists of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following outstanding shares of dilutive instruments as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share:
| March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Stock Options | ||||||||
| Warrants | ||||||||
| Total Shares | ||||||||
Segments
The Company assesses its segment reporting based on how it internally manages and reports the results of its business to its chief operating decision maker. Management reviews financial results, manages the business and allocates resources on an aggregate basis. Therefore, financial results are reported in a single operating segment.

On April 11, 2025, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, at our option, through B. Riley as our sales agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. Upon our delivery and B. Riley’s acceptance of a placement notice, B. Riley will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, in transactions deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by B. Riley and us. B. Riley may also sell the shares of common stock in negotiated transactions, subject to our prior approval. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272396), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2025 and November 13, 2025, which allows us to sell up to $
Although the Company is focused on achieving profitability through revenue growth, improved gross margins and operating leverage, we expect to continue to incur losses for a period of time. We may seek additional capital to finance our operations, support working capital needs and execute our business strategy, including through equity or debt financings or other strategic transactions. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitable operations or that additional capital or debt financing will be available when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. Any additional financing, if obtained, may not be sufficient to meet our obligations or support our long-term business strategy. In addition, any equity financing, debt financing with an equity component, or other strategic transaction could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.

Legal Matters:
The Company may from time to time become party to actions, claims, suits, investigations or proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation could divert management time and attention from the Company, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses, or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of associated cost and diversion of management time. As of March 31, 2026, after consulting with legal counsel, management believes there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.
| 9. | LEASES |
On September 1, 2020, the Company entered into a five-year operating lease for their headquarters building in San Diego, California. The term of the existing lease was extended until February 28, 2026 and subsequently until September 30, 2026. The agreement provides that the Landlord may terminate the lease upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Company. On April 27, 2026, the landlord exercised its right to terminate the lease for San Diego. The lease will now terminate on July 26, 2026. The termination will not result in any material early termination penalties to the Company, and the Company does not expect to have any material ongoing obligations under the lease following the termination date. The Company is evaluating its options with respect to its headquarters’ location and does not expect the termination to have a material adverse effect on its operations. The Company has additional factory locations in Chicago, Illinois; Belgrade and Kraljevo in Serbia; and a sales and administration office in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The table below summarizes the Company’s lease related assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

| 10. | INCOME TAXES |
There was no Federal income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025 due to the Company’s net losses. Income tax expense represents the minimum state taxes due. As a result of the Company’s history of incurring operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been established. As of March 31, 2026, no benefit has been provided for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date loss. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria have been satisfied in determining whether there will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance.
| 11. | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY |
At Market Issuance Sales Agreement
On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $
Stock Options
Stock options may be granted to new and existing employees and other eligible participants under the Company’s equity incentive plan. New employee option grants generally have a term of ten years and vest ratably over four years.
Option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:
| Weighted | ||||||||
| Average | ||||||||
| Number of | Exercise | |||||||

| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | $ | |||||||
| Granted | ||||||||
| Forfeited | ||||||||
| Outstanding at March 31, 2026 | $ | |||||||
| Vested and Exercisable at March 31, 2026 | $ | |||||||
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock, expected option life and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock based on our historical volatility. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term. The expected term of stock options granted to employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the assumptions in the table below and we assumed there would not be dividends paid during the life of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

There were
Restricted Stock Awards
The Company issues restricted stock awards to non-employee members of its board of directors as compensation for such members’ services. Such grants generally vest ratably over four quarters. The common stock related to these awards are issued to an escrow account on the date of grant and released to the grantee upon vesting. The fair value is determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date granted and the related expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

| 13. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Company has a single reportable segment focused around providing clean-technology innovation focused on providing high-quality, renewably energized products. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (the “CODM”), who is the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance for the reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources using net income (loss) as the primary measure of profitability. The CODM is not regularly provided with specific segment expenses, but focuses on revenue, gross profit, and net income. Expense information, including cost of sales, can be easily computed from the information provided. These segment (and consolidated) measures of profitability are shown in the statements of operations. The measure of segment assets are reported on the balance sheets as total assets.
| 14. | RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The impacts of rising interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical developments, including conflicts and instability in the Middle East, and changes in trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and shifts in international alliances, have resulted, and may continue to result, in global economic uncertainty and a slowdown in economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including those provided by the Company’s clients and as a result, those provided by the Company, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels, transportation routes, customer procurement processes and marketing activities for an unknown period of time. In particular, escalation of hostilities involving Iran, Israel, the United States, regional governments or regional proxy groups could adversely affect regional stability, disrupt shipping lanes, impair access to ports and transportation routes, increase fuel, freight, insurance and security costs, and delay or prevent the movement of components and finished products. Armed conflict, maritime attacks, vessel seizures, blockades, port closures, sanctions, export controls, customs restrictions, banking restrictions, currency instability or other governmental measures affecting the Middle East could also impair the Company’s ability to conduct business, collect receivables, perform under contracts, pay vendors, repatriate funds or realize the expected benefits of its international growth initiatives, including in the Middle East and Africa.
Additionally, recent changes to U.S. policy related to tariffs implemented by the U.S. Congress, and the Executive Branch and the responses of other nations to such actions have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, international alliances and trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. As a result of the current uncertainty regarding economic activity, the Company is unable to predict the size and duration of the impact to revenue and its results of operations, if any, of actions taken to date and those that may occur in the future. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of geopolitical disruption and its impact on the Company’s clients, partners, industry and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted. The Company continues to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intends to take steps deemed appropriate to limit the impact on its business.
There can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by the Company or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could negatively affect its sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen its sales cycles, decrease its employees’, clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm its business and results of operations.

Management has evaluated events that have occurred subsequent to the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements through the date of filing. Based upon this review, the Company identified the following subsequent event that requires disclosure but did not require adjustment to the financial statements.
On April 27, 2026, the landlord for our San Diego headquarters exercised its right to terminate the lease by providing ninety days’ written notice. The lease which was extended on January 26, 2026 and was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026, will now terminate on July 26, 2026. The Company is evaluating its options with respect to its headquarters' location and does not expect the termination to have material adverse effect on its operations.

Overview
Beam is a sustainable technology innovation company headquartered in San Diego, California with offices in the U.S. in San Diego, California and Broadview, Illinois; in Europe in Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia; and in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (“UAE”). We develop, design, engineer, manufacture, and sell high-quality, rapidly-deployed and autonomous infrastructure products for electric vehicle (“EV”) and autonomous vehicle (“AV”) charging, energy security and disaster preparedness and highly energy-dense battery solutions in safe, compact, unique and bespoke form-factors which we believe are ideal for the rapidly growing mobile and stationary equipment product market which often requires electrical energy without being connected to the electrical grid. Additionally, we manufacture structures with integrated intelligence and electronics such as streetlighting, cell towers and energy infrastructure products for Smart Cities (the interconnected physical and digital elements within a city that utilize technology to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life for residents). We further design, engineer and manufacture specialized power electronics including inverters, charge controllers, power supplies and LED lighting.
Our EV charging infrastructure products are powered by locally generated renewable energy and enable vital and highly valuable services in locations where it is either too expensive, disruptive, or impossible to connect to a utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. We do not compete with EV charging companies; rather, we assist these companies by offering infrastructure solutions that replace the time-consuming and expensive process of construction and electrical work which are usually required to install traditional grid-tied EV and AV chargers. We also do not compete with utility companies. Our products enable utilities and others to deliver reliable and low-cost electricity to EV and AV chargers and, in the case of a grid failure, to first responders and others, through our integrated emergency power panels.
Our charging products are rapidly deployed without the need for construction or electrical work. We compete with the highly fragmented and disintegrated ecosystem of general contractors, electrical contractors, consultants, engineers, permitting specialists and others, who are required to perform a traditional grid-tied EV charger installation construction and electrical project. Our sustainable technology products are designed to replace a complicated, expensive, time-consuming and risk-prone construction and electrical installation process with an easy, robust and reliable product at a low cost of total ownership.
We provide energy storage technologies that make commodity battery cells safer, longer lasting and more energy efficient. Our battery management systems, and associated thermal packaging, make batteries safer and usable in a variety of mobility, energy-security, and stationary applications.
Our street lighting and other street furniture products are mass-produced and sold in 18 nations globally. We are increasingly adding power electronics, energy storage, computing, sensing, and reporting to our street furniture products as we evolve them to provide greater levels of Smart Cities services.
Beam’s renewably energized infrastructure products and proprietary technology solutions target markets:
| ● |
EV and AV charging infrastructure; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Smart Cities infrastructure; | |
|
|
||
| ● |
Energy storage solutions; |
|
| ● | Energy security and disaster preparedness; | |
|
|
||
| ● |
Transportation infrastructure products; and |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Power electronics and telecommunications equipment |
The Company creates high-quality products that are powered primarily by secure and innovative energy sources, rapidly deployable, have diverse use cases and are attractively designed. We believe that there is a growing demand for rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV and AV charging and infrastructure for Smart Cities, and that our EV ARC™, BeamSpot™ and other street furniture products are designed to address this demand. We are agnostic to the EV charging service equipment as we do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it. Our EV ARC™ and BeamSpot™ products replace the traditional infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves.
We have over thirty years of experience deploying street-lighting, transportation, energy and telecommunications infrastructure products as a result of our 2023 acquisition of Amiga in Serbia. We also acquired relationships with existing customers to whom we are now able to sell our portfolio of innovative energy, mobility and transportation infrastructure products as well as our Smart Cities products.
During the second half of 2024 we significantly expanded our product portfolio with the addition of rapidly deployed and highly scalable charging infrastructure products for electric bicycles, electric scooters, and electric motorcycles. We also introduced de-salination as a capability to enhance the lifesaving aspects of our disaster preparedness products. Powered by 100% renewable energy, our BeamWell™ self-sufficient water treatment system converts seawater into vital freshwater. It is equipped with four eMopeds for efficient and rapid transport in environments such as war zones, disaster or crisis zones, where people need safe drinking water, electricity and mobility most.
Our ability to make commodity battery cells safer, longer lasting and more energy efficient in bespoke enclosures is, we believe, a significant differentiator as we move to an increasingly electrified and untethered world. All our renewably energized products generate their own electricity which is stored in our integrated batteries. Our ability to develop energy-dense, highly safe batteries in unique shapes and sizes allows us to serve customers with specialized needs, including manufacturers of drones, robots, medical devices, top secret military applications, submersibles, refrigerated transport units, and a wide range of other applications.
We believe our chief differentiators are:
| ● |
Our patented, renewably energized products dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV and AV charging infrastructure when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our proprietary and patented energy storage solutions; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our first-to-market advantage with EV and AV charging infrastructure products which are renewably energized, rapidly deployed and require no construction or electrical work on site; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our products’ capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of EV charging and emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions; |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our ability to add electrical capacity to provide for the significant increased demand brought by electrified transportation, data centers, AI and the electrification of industry, without having to go through expensive, time-consuming and risky utility grid expansion (adding power stations, transmission lines and distribution infrastructure like substations); |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our ability to create new and patentable products which are marketable and consist of a complex integration of our proprietary technology and parts with other commonly available engineered components, which create a further barrier to entry for our competition; |
|
| ● |
Our ability to create products which provide valuable solutions to nascent industries with very large market opportunities globally; and |
|
|
|
||
| ● |
Our geographic footprint in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and existing customer base and contracts. |
Overall Business Outlook
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3.1 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company believes the decline is primarily a function of order timing rather than a fundamental change in demand for its products. Historically, the first quarter is the Company’s lowest revenue period, as customer procurement processes, government budget cycles, and project approval timelines tend to be concentrated in later quarters.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company's backlog was approximately $9.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million from $6.0 million as of December 31, 2025. More than half of the backlog is attributable to our Smart Cities products, approximately one-third to its energy storage products, and the balance to EV ARC™ and related products. Management believes the strength of the current backlog is indicative of continued demand which we believe will lead to an improvement in revenue in subsequent quarters.
The composition of revenue shifted meaningfully during the period compared to the prior year period. International customers comprised 51% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 25% for the same period in 2025 as a result of our continued integration of our Serbian acquisitions.
Revenues from non-government commercial entities as a percentage of total revenue increased 48% year-over-year and represented 78% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Sales to federal, state and local governments represented 22% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 47% for the same period in 2025.
The Company believes that as electric vehicle adoption continues to expand and its products reach a larger international audience, the impact of period-to-period order timing variability on reported revenues will diminish over time.
We continue to invest in sales personnel, marketing resources, and new product development, while also expanding our geographic footprint, with the goal of reducing reliance on large individual orders of our EV ARC™ product from federal agencies, while continuing to pursue those opportunities.
Order timing may continue to be uneven due to customer procurement processes, approval timelines and budget cycles; however, we believe that increased global EV adoption, continued expansion into international markets and the marketing of our new products will reduce the impact of variability in individual order timing on our overall business.
We have a Multiple Award Schedule Contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) that helps streamline purchases from Federal agencies and state and local governments. In addition, the GSA awarded Beam Global a federal blanket purchase agreement in April 2022 which provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement process for procuring EV ARC™ systems. In Q2 2025, the contract was extended until October 31, 2030. Although this purchasing contract is not being regularly used by U.S. Federal government agencies, we have made sales to other non-Federal government entities in the U.S. using this contract vehicle and we believe that having this contract extended through 2030 and also having it made available to non-Federal government agencies has assisted us in closing sales in 2025 and will continue to assist in streamlining our selling processes in 2026. To the extent the federal government resumes procurement of electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure, we believe this contract provides a streamlined and efficient channel to sell to the federal government, which operates the largest fleet in the world.
On November 12, 2025, the Company announced being awarded a cooperative purchasing contract by Sourcewell, expanding it's offerings to U.S. military, state and local government agencies, and higher education institutions across North America. Sourcewell combines the purchasing power of over 50,000 participating public agencies, offering hundreds of awarded supplier contracts across public sector and educational organizations to procure the Company's sustainable infrastructure and energy storage solutions through a ready-to-use, negotiated, Sourcewell-vetted contract, streamlining the public purchasing process.
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded revenues of $11 thousand for federal customers, compared to $894 thousand for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced purchasing activity by U.S. federal agencies following changes in federal executive priorities relating to fleet electrification and EV charging infrastructure. During prior periods, federal initiatives supporting EV adoption and charging infrastructure contributed to increased federal customer demand for our products. The timing and extent of any future federal demand will depend in part on federal policy priorities, agency procurement activity, available funding and broader market adoption of electric vehicles and related charging infrastructure.
Our commercial, non-government, revenues increased as a percentage of our revenues from 53% to 78% from the first three months of 2025 compared to the first three months of 2026. Our geographic expansion into Europe and our additional business development activities in the Middle East and Africa are, we believe, also providing opportunities for growth which are not dependent on, or impacted by, shifts in U.S. government zero emission vehicle policies. The new products we have brought to market offer values, which are also not dependent upon U.S. federal government investment.
We expect the electric vehicle market to continue to experience significant growth globally over the next decade, which will in turn increase demand for additional EV charging infrastructure. We believe we are positioned to benefit significantly from this growth. Additionally, we are in compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), which ensures that our U.S. products are manufactured for our U.S. customers in the United States using a sufficient amount of domestically sourced materials. Furthermore, we have obtained the CE mark (Conformité Européenne) for our EV ARC™, BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamPatrol™ products, indicating that those products comply with applicable European Union health, safety and environmental protection requirements and may be freely traded within the European Economic Area. We believe these certifications strengthen our credibility, consumer trust, and increase demand for our products, particularly among federal, state, and local government agencies. We also manufacture many products which are not related to EV charging such as our batteries, energy security and smart cities products. Although current federal policy priorities have reduced support for transportation electrification, the Company believes that domestic manufacturing, energy storage and energy security remain areas of potential federal and commercial demand. The Company believes its compliance with BABA may continue to support its competitive position as customers place greater emphasis on U.S.-manufactured critical infrastructure products.
With our acquisitions of Amiga and Telcom, we now have facilities in Europe that can manufacture and sell Beam Global products for the European market. Europe is the largest market in the world for EVs and is a strong proponent of clean energy. We believe there is a lot of potential for growth in this region. We also expect the EV market to continue to experience significant growth over the next decade which will require additional EV charging infrastructure. We believe our products are uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth. Our geographic expansion into Europe and our additional business development activities in the Middle East and Africa are, we believe, also providing opportunities for growth which are not dependent on, or impacted by, shifts in US government and zero emission vehicle strategies. The new products we have brought to market offer values which are also not dependent upon US federal government investment. The EU has mandated a transition to zero emission vehicles by 2035 and they are heavily focused on green and sustainable energy. An increase in electric vehicles adoptions will increase the demand for charging infrastructure. We believe that our sustainably energized EV ARCTM and BeamSpot™ products can play a major role in the provision of EV charging infrastructure in Europe.
Our energy security business is also connected with the deployment of our EV charging infrastructure products and serves as an additional benefit to the value proposition of our charging products which, along with their integrated emergency power panels, can continue to operate, charge EVs, and deliver emergency power during utility grid failures. Our state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV charging systems are immune to grid failures and provide another benefit for customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments, large private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators. Drones, submersibles, recreational products and a host of micro mobility and electric vehicle products are already benefiting from our Beam All-Cell™ highly differentiated products. With the continued growth of untethered electrification, we believe there is an opportunity for increased demand in these markets and others.
We are in development on our newest patented products which include- BeamSpot™, BeamFlight™ and others, which we expect will continue to expand our product offerings leveraging the same proprietary technology as our current products and allow us to expand into new markets. Amiga, now Beam Europe, is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of streetlights and has a team of qualified structural, electrical and civil engineers who are experts in the field of development and deployment of streetlighting. They are working with our engineers in San Diego and Broadview to continually improve the engineering and development of our new BeamSpot™ product. We believe that BeamSpot™ may become our largest selling product when available for sale. BeamSpot™ is currently in the process of being installed and we received our first order for that product within two months of it being launched.
In addition, EV ARC™, BeamBike™, BeamWell™ and BeamPatrol™ products have fulfilled the requirements to receive the CE mark (Conformité Européenne), a mandatory symbol indicating that a product meets European Union (EU) health, safety and environmental protection requirements, allowing it to be freely traded within the European Economic Area (EEA).
In June 20, 2025, Beam entered into a joint venture agreement with the Platinum Group L.L.C, a diversified, multi-billion-dollar conglomerate operating in energy, real estate, finance and investing, healthcare, information technology, sports and entertainment, food services and legal services in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Chaired by His Royal Highness, Sheikh Mohammed Sultan Bin Khalifa Al-Nahyan, the Platinum Group UAE is recognized for its well-established and trusted relationships across government and industry. Beam Global and the Platinum Group has formed a new entity, Beam Middle East LLC, a limited liability company in Abu Dhabi which will sell and manufacture Beam Global’s patented sustainable infrastructure solutions for transportation electrification, energy storage, energy security, and smart city development across the Middle East and African regions. We believe this joint venture marks a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy and positions us to capture growth in a region projected to invest over $1 trillion in renewable energy by 2030. Beam Middle East is headquartered in Masdar City, a pioneering sustainable urban community and world-class business and technology hub. Masdar City is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, strategically positioned at the center of the country’s drive toward a net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050.
Over the long term, the Company expects revenue to grow as it expands its product offerings and geographic reach, supported by anticipated increases in global demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Company does not anticipate significant pricing pressure on its products. The combination of expected revenue growth and the cost reduction measures described above leads management to believe that gross margins will improve over time.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The financial statements and related disclosures were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, accounting for acquisitions and business combinations; initial valuation and subsequent impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets; leases; fair value of financial instruments, income taxes; inventory; and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we continually evaluate our assumptions and modify as needed. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our revenues decreased 51% to $3.1 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2025. Revenues derived from non-government, commercial entities represented 78% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 53% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, $0.7 million, or 22% of product sales, were to federal, state and local government customers compared to 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company expects reduced U.S. federal government purchasing activity to continue in the near term, reflecting changes in U.S. federal policy priorities relating to fleet electrification and EV charging infrastructure. However, the Company believes U.S. federal agencies may continue to represent a potential long-term opportunity for its products, particularly if federal policy priorities change or if broader market adoption of electric vehicles and related charging infrastructure increases demand. The timing and extent of any future federal demand remain uncertain and will depend in part on federal policy priorities, agency procurement activity, available funding and broader market conditions.
The Company continues to invest in sales, marketing personnel, resources and programs to raise awareness of the benefits and value of its products. The receipt of orders may continue to be uneven due to customer procurement processes, project approval timelines and government budget cycles. However, the Company believes that continued growth in EV adoption, energy security requirements, Smart Cities infrastructure needs and infrastructure funding may reduce the impact of period-to period variations in individual order timing over time.
The Company continues to seek to broaden its revenue base by expanding its customer mix, geographic reach and product applications beyond U.S. federal government sales. The Company believes its rapidly deployable infrastructure solutions may be well-positioned to address customer needs in these markets; however, there can be no assurance that these opportunities will offset reduced U.S. federal customer demand or that U.S. federal customer demand will return to prior levels.
Gross Loss (Profit). The Company reported a gross loss of $0.4 million, representing a negative gross margin of 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a gross profit of $0.5 million, or a positive gross margin of 7.9% for the same period in 2025. Gross results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included non-cash charges of $0.5 million for depreciation and $0.2 million for amortization of intangible assets arising from the All-Cell acquisition. Gross results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included non-cash charges of $0.6 million for depreciation and $0.2 million for amortization of intangible assets. The Company expects gross margins to improve as revenues grow and fixed overhead absorption increases.
Operating Expenses and Impairment of Goodwill. Total operating expenses were $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2025. The prior period included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $10.8 million, and no such charge was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Adjusted operating expenses increased by approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by reductions in salaries and benefits, facilities, and other general and administrative expenses. The $1.6 million increase in the provision for credit losses relates to a single customer balance that became subject to reserve in accordance with the Company's policy.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2026, we had cash of $2.0 million, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2025. We have historically met our cash needs through equity financings and through cash flow from operations. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities and acquisitions.
Management believes the Company’s present cash flows will enable it to meet its obligations for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to assess its operational needs and seek additional financing as needed to fund its operations.
Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the statements of cash flows, are summarized in the table below:
| March 31, |
||||||||
| 2026 |
2025 |
|||||||
| Cash provided by (used in): |
||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities |
$ | (2,268 | ) | $ | (1,760 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities |
$ | (47 | ) | $ | (70 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities |
$ | 3,412 | $ | (15 | ) | |||
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in operations included a $0.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $0.8 million increase in inventory, $0.3 million decrease in operating lease liability, $0.1 million decrease in sales tax payable, and $0.2 million decrease in other long-term liabilities. In addition, cash provided by operations included $1.7 million increase in accounts receivable, $0.4 million increase in accounts payable, $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses and $0.2 million in deferred revenue.
Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $47 thousand related to purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $70 thousand was primarily related to $54 thousand of equipment purchases, with remainder related to funding of patent costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by our financing activities was $3.4 million related to sale of common stock under the Sales Agreement with B. Riley. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $15 thousand was related to repayments of a note payable of a vehicle lease.
Current assets decreased to $19.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $21.0 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $3.5 million in accounts receivable which includes an $1.8 million increase in the reserve for credit losses partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in cash. Current liabilities increased to $13.0 million at March 31, 2026 from $12.1 million at December 31, 2025, due to increases of $0.3 million in accounts payable, $0.2 million in accrued expenses, $0.3 million in deferred revenue, and $0.2 million in operating lease liabilities partially offset by $0.1 million decrease in sales tax payable.
As a result, our working capital decreased $2.7 million to $6.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $8.9 million at December 31, 2025. The Company notes that $1.8 million of this decrease is attributable to the non-cash increase in the reserve for credit losses related to a single customer balance reserved in accordance with the Company's policy.
The Company may be required to raise capital through equity or debt financings to fund its operations until it achieves positive cash flow The proceeds from these offerings are expected to be used to provide working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products. Management cannot currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow. There is no guarantee that profitable operations will be achieved, or that additional capital or debt financing will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funding, if raised, may not be sufficient to meet our obligations or enable us to continue to implement our long-term business strategy. In addition, obtaining additional funding or entering into other strategic transactions could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into that certain Supply Chain Line of Credit with OCI Limited (“OCI”), whereby OCI may provide a supply chain line of credit in the amount of up to $100 million based on the amounts of approved accounts receivable of the Company (the “Credit Facility”). In order to request a drawdown on the Credit Facility, the Company is required to submit a transaction request to OCI which sets forth the terms of the applicable account receivables, including but not limited to the name of the party responsible for the applicable account receivables (the “Obligor”), the terms of repayment and the amount of such receivables. The Company has no obligation to submit a drawdown request and OCI is not obligated to accept any drawdown request from the Company. In the event OCI accepts a drawdown request of the Company and upon satisfaction of certain conditions required by OCI to issue the drawdown, OCI will disburse funds to the Company for such drawdown in an amount equal to the full value of the applicable account receivables assigned to OCI minus any transaction expenses incurred by OCI and the full amount of interest to be incurred for such receivables over the term of the drawdown. The Company will pay interest on any drawdown at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate +300 basis points. Upon the disbursement of funds to the Company for a drawdown, the Company will assign all rights to such account receivables of the Obligor to OCI. The Company will act as collection agent on any account receivable assigned to OCI and agrees to establish a designated bank account for the purpose of collecting payment on any applicable account receivable that are assigned to OCI. In the event (i) the Company is in material breach of the Credit Facility, (ii) the Company or the Obligor is insolvent or is subject to reorganization or liquidation, or (iii) any dispute related to an agreement with an Obligor or non-payment by an Obligor, OCI has the right to exercise any contractual rights it may have against Obligor, increase the interest rate to the agreed upon default interest rate, and demand immediate repayment by the Company for the outstanding amounts owed under such account receivables. The Company has also agreed to indemnify OCI for any losses incurred by OCI in connection with the Credit Facility. Either party may terminate the Credit Facility at any time by providing fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other party. To date, Beam Global has not drawn on this line of credit.
On April 11, 2025, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, at our option, through B. Riley as our sales agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. Upon our delivery and B. Riley’s acceptance of a placement notice, B. Riley will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, in transactions deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by B. Riley and us. B. Riley may also sell the shares of common stock in negotiated transactions, subject to our prior approval. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272396), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2025 and November 13, 2025, which allows us to sell up to $15.6 million in shares of our common stock (the “ATM Prospectus Supplement”). We will pay B. Riley a commission of up to 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of any shares sold through B. Riley. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has $11.9 million remaining available for issuance and sale under the ATM Prospectus Supplement to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
Management believes that continued operational improvements may support the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plan and pursue profitable growth over time. These efforts are anticipated to include the addition of sales personnel and independent sales channels, reductions in direct costs due to engineering and manufacturing improvements, continued management of overhead costs, increased overhead absorption resulting from volume growth, process improvements and negotiating with vendors to reduce to cost, increased public awareness of the Company and its products, and improving the timing of the average sales cycle. Management believes that these steps, if successful, may enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations. There is no assurance, however, as to whether or when the Company will be able to achieve those operating objectives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis due to material weakness in internal controls as identified below.
As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, Management identified the following material weaknesses:
| ● |
Ineffective design and implementation over Information Technology General Controls (“ITGCs”) |
|
| ● |
Insufficient controls over inventory accounting, including controls to ensure inventory is accurately tracked, recorded and valued on a timely basis |
|
| ● |
Insufficient controls over the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations and financial reporting schedules, including lack of appropriate documentation and evidence of review | |
| ● |
Inadequate segregation of duties and user access controls, including limitations due to personal resources and overlapping responsibilities | |
| ● |
Insufficient controls over financial reporting processes and oversight related to our international operations, including Beam Europe |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company continues to evaluate and implement remediation measures intended to address the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. However, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financials reporting. The material weaknesses will be considered remediated when management concludes that, through testing, the applicable remedial controls are designed, implemented and operating effectively. As management continues to evaluate and improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time become party to actions, claims, suits, investigations or proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to intellectual property claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Any litigation could divert management’s time and attention from the Company, could involve significant amounts of legal fees and other fees and expenses, or could result in an adverse outcome having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Actions, claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe are, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of associated cost and diversion of management’s time.
