*A
reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided below. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to
GAAP measures as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance.
“Our
first quarter results reflect momentum across the business and meaningful progress in positioning Pioneer for its next phase of growth,”
said Nathan Mazurek, CEO of Pioneer. “We delivered a significant year-over-year improvement in gross margin and a sequential increase
in backlog, which suggests two important things: we are building commercial momentum, and customer demand for our distributed power solutions
continues to build. While revenue in the quarter was affected by the timing of e-Boost deployments, the underlying trajectory of the
business remains solid and improving. Importantly, the cost reduction actions we implemented at the end of April are expected to reduce
our operating expense base by $1.5 million or more on an annualized basis, giving us a leaner, more focused organization. Those potential
savings are expected to be directed toward the areas where we see the most opportunity and excitement - PRYMUS and PowerCore, which we
believe are central to our long-term growth story.
“The
early response to PRYMUS has been encouraging and, in our view, reinforces the strength of the market opportunity we are addressing.
We continue to see accelerating demand for rapidly deployable distributed generation solutions, driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure,
growth in data center capacity and ongoing constraints within the utility grid. In fact, a significant portion of our current pipeline
and outstanding customer quotations is now centered on PRYMUS opportunities, which gives us increasing confidence in the scale and long-term
potential of the platform.
“At
the same time, we continue to advance commercialization efforts for PowerCore, which currently remains on track to begin shipments in
the second half of 2026. Together, PRYMUS and PowerCore represent an important step forward in Pioneer’s evolution into a broader
distributed energy solutions provider, serving both commercial and residential end markets.
“Looking
ahead, our focus remains on disciplined execution, improving operating leverage and converting a growing pipeline of opportunities into
revenue. We believe our differentiated product portfolio positions us well to capitalize on increasing demand for flexible, resilient
power infrastructure.”
First
Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue
Revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $4.3 million, a decrease of 36.7%, as compared to $6.7 million during the first quarter
of last year, primarily due to a decrease in sales and rentals in the Company’s suite of mobile EV charging solutions, e-Boost.
Gross
Profit/Margin
Gross
profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $582,000, or a 13.6% gross margin, compared to gross profit of $148,000, or a 2.2% gross margin,
for the same period in 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to improved operating efficiencies associated with
the sale of the Company’s mobile EV charging solutions, e-Boost.
Operating
Loss from Continuing Operations
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating loss from continuing operations was $2.0 million, an improvement of $326,000 compared
to $2.3 million for the same period in 2025.
Net
Loss from Continuing Operations
The
Company’s net loss from continuing operations was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $2.1 million
for the same period in 2025.
Net
Loss
Net
loss was $2.5 million, as compared to $929,000, inclusive of income from discontinued operations of $1.1 million, for the same period
last year.
Balance
Sheet
As
of March 31, 2026, the Company had $13.6 million of cash on hand and working capital of $18.7 million, compared to $15.0 million of cash
on hand and working capital of $20.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company had no bank debt as of March 31, 2026.
Non-GAAP
Measures
In
addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), this document references certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines non-GAAP operating income (loss)
from continuing operations as GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations excluding corporate overhead expenses, research
and development expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and non-recurring professional fees. We believe these non-GAAP financial
measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enable comparison of financial trends
and results between periods where certain items may vary, independent of business performance.
The
Company’s management uses non-GAAP operating income (loss) from continuing operations (a) as a measure of operating performance,
(b) for planning and forecasting in future periods, and (c) in communications with the Company’s board of directors concerning
the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP measure is not necessarily comparable to
other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute
for or alternative to any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Instead, management believes
this non-GAAP measure should be used to supplement the Company’s financial measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP in order
to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.
Please
refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in this document for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the
comparable GAAP measures.
