Equity and Disclosure Analyst

Earnings press release furnished, not filed; routine but relevant update on quarterly financial results.

This Form 8-K reports that SolarMax Technology, Inc. furnished a press release with financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as Exhibit 99.1. The disclosure falls under Item 2.02, which covers results of operations and financial condition, meaning the core purpose is to communicate quarterly performance. The company also clarifies that this information is “furnished” rather than “filed,” which limits exposure to certain Exchange Act liabilities under Section 18.

Because the detailed numbers and metrics are contained in Exhibit 99.1, this report primarily functions as a legal and procedural wrapper. The furnished status also means the press release is not automatically incorporated into other Securities Act or Exchange Act filings, unless later specifically referenced. This structure is common practice for quarterly earnings communications and signals adherence to standard public company disclosure processes.

The most concrete item to track is the timing and content of the Exhibit 99.1 press release dated November 17, 2025, which holds the actual revenue, earnings, and cash flow details. Attention over the near term centers on how those results compare to prior periods or any previously communicated expectations, but that assessment requires reviewing the exhibit itself or subsequent periodic reports. Until then, this 8-K by itself mainly confirms that the quarter’s financial results are now publicly available.
