ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATEDCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Orion includes Orion Energy Systems, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, and all consolidated subsidiaries. Orion is a developer, manufacturer and provider of energy-efficient LEDprovides light emitting diode lighting controls andsystems, wireless Internet of Things (“IoT”) systems, includingenabled control solutions, project engineering, energy project management design, maintenance services and turnkey project implementation, program management and system maintenanceelectric vehicle charging station installation services to commercial and industrial businesses, and federal and local governments, predominantly in North America.

Orion’s corporate offices and leased primary manufacturing operations are located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Orion also leases office space in Jacksonville, Florida, Lawrence, Massachusetts and Pewaukee, Wisconsin.

NOTE 2 — IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business, trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, in the U.S. and globally. Orion’s business was adversely impacted by measures taken by customers, suppliers, government entities and others to control the spread of the virus beginning in March 2020, the last few weeks of Orion’s 2020 fiscal year, and continuing most significantly into the second quarter of fiscal 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Orion experienced a rebound in business as project installations resumed for its largest customer. However, potential future risks remain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to predict the overall impact, including the economic and regulatory impact, the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Orion’s business, liquidity, capital resources or financial results. If the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more pronounced in Orion’s markets or experiences a resurgence in markets recovering from the spread of COVID-19, Orion’s results of operation would likely be materially adversely affected.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20232024 or other interim periods.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 20222023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20222023 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2022.12, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Orion performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and continuously monitors collections and payments. Orion estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts,credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Orion's cash is primarily deposited with 1one financial institution. At times, deposits in this institution exceeds the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances.

Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, 0no suppliers accounted for more than 10.0%10.0% of total cost of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Issued: Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for Orion for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Orion is currently evaluating the impactadopted ASU 2016-13 effective April 1, 2023. The effect of adoption of this standard on its consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and the related footnote disclosures.was immaterial.


NOTE 43 — REVENUE

Orion generates revenue primarily by selling manufactured or sourced commercial lighting fixtures and components, sourced electric vehicle chargers and related products, installing these fixturesproducts in customer’s facilities, and providing maintenance services including repairs and replacements for the lighting and related electrical components. Orion recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) when control of the goods or services being provided (which we refer to as a performance obligation) is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration Orion expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

During the fourththird quarter of fiscal 2022,2023, Orion acquired Stay-Lite Lighting,Voltrek LLC ("Voltrek"), which provides lightingsells and electrical services.installs sourced electric vehicle charging stations and related software subscriptions and renewals. The results of Stay-Lite LightingVoltrek are included in the Orion Services GroupElectric Vehicle Charging segment ("EV") and acceleratecompliment Orion’s existing turnkey installation model.

The sale of charging stations and related software subscriptions and renewals is presented in Product revenue. Orion is the growthprincipal in the sales of Orion’s maintenancecharging stations as it has control of the physical products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily software subscriptions and renewals, Orion is the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes at the point in time upon providing access of the content to the customer.

Assets Orion Leases to Other Parties

One of Orion’s frequent customers purchases products and installation services under agreements that provide for monthly payments, at a fixed monthly amount, of the contract price, plus interest, typically over a five-year period. While Orion retains ownership of the light fixtures during the financing period, the transaction terms and the underlying economics associated with used lighting fixtures results in Orion essentially ceding ownership of the lighting fixtures to the customer after completion of the agreement. The portions of the transaction associated with the sale of the light fixtures is accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842. The total transaction price in these contracts is allocated between the lease and non-lease components in the same manner as the total transaction price of other turnkey projects containing lighting fixtures and installation services.

Revenues, and production and acquisition costs, associated with sales-type leases are included in Product revenue and Costs of product revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following chart shows the amount of There was no revenue and cost of sales arising from sales-type leases during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):2022.

NOTE 1211 — NET (LOSS) INCOMELOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and does not consider common stock equivalents.

Diluted net income per common share reflects the dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised and restricted shares vested. In the computation of diluted net income per common share, Orion uses the treasury stock method for outstanding options and restricted shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Orion was in a net loss position; therefore, the Basic and Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal because any increase to the basic shares would be anti-dilutive. Net (loss) income per common share is calculated based upon the following shares:

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 29, 2020, Orion entered into a new $25$25 million Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaced Orion’s prior $20.15$20.15 million secured revolving credit and security agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The replacement of the Prior Credit Agreement with the Credit Agreement provides Orion with increased financing capacity and liquidity to fund its operations and implement its strategic plans.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $25.0 $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on December 29, 2025.2025. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base requirement based on eligible receivables, inventory and cash. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the borrowing base supports $15.8 million availability of the Credit Facility. AsFacility supports $18.6 million of June 30,availability, with $8.6 million of remaining availability net of $10.0 million borrowed.

Effective November 4, 2022, 0 amounts were borrowedOrion, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment was to include the assets of the acquired subsidiaries, Stay-Lite Lighting, Inc. ("Stay-Lite Lighting") and Voltrek, as secured collateral under the Credit Facility.Agreement. Accordingly, eligible assets of Stay-Lite and Voltrek will be included in the borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing the monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The amendment also clarified that the earn-out liabilities associated with the Stay-Lite and Voltrek transactions are permitted under the Credit Agreement and that the expenses recognized in connection with those earn-outs should be added back in the computation of EBITDA, as defined, under the Credit Agreement.


As of June 30, 2022,2023, Orion was in compliance with all debt covenants.

NOTE 1413 — INCOME TAXES

Orion’s income tax provision was determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon the facts and circumstances known, to book income (loss) before income tax, adjusting for discrete items. Orion’s actual effective tax rate is adjusted each interim period, as appropriate, for changes in facts and circumstances. For the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, Orion recorded income tax (benefit)/expense (benefit) of $(0.8) million$42 thousand and $0.9$(0.8) million, respectively, using this methodology.

As of June 30, 20222023 and March 31, 2022,2023, Orion hashad a recordedfull valuation allowance of $1.2 million against its net deferred tax asset balance. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination is made.

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the more or less of its deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be reflected in the company’s provision for income taxes.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of June 30, 2022,2023, Orion’s balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $0.2$0.2 million, all of which would reduce Orion’s effective tax rate if recognized.

Orion has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the balance sheet as Other long-term liabilities to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one year. Orion recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income tax (benefit) expense. Penalties and interest are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

No new awards are being granted under the 2004 Plan; however, all awards granted under the 2004 Plan that are outstanding will continue to be governed by the 2004 Plan. Forfeited awards originally issued under the 2004 Plan are canceled and are not available for subsequent issuance under the 2004 Plan or under the Amended 2016 Plan. The Amended 2016 Plan and the 2004 Plan also permit accelerated vesting in the event of certain changes of control of Orion as well as under other special circumstances.

Certain non-employee directors have from time to time elected to receive stock awards in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to elections made under Orion’s non-employee director compensation program.

Overview

We provide state-of-the-art light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting systems, wireless Internet of Things (“IoT”) enabled control solutions, project engineering, energy project management designcommercial and industrial electric vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure solutions and maintenance services. We help our customers achieve their sustainability, energy savings and carbon footprint reduction goals through innovative technology and exceptional service. We research, design, develop, manufacture, market, sell install,our products and implement energy management systems consisting primarily of high-performance, energy-efficientservices into many vertical markets within the broader commercial and industrial interior and exterior LED lighting systems and related services. Our products are targeted for applications in three primary market segments:segment. Primary verticals include: big box retail, manufacturing, warehousing/logistics, commercial office, federal and retail, area lighting,municipal government, healthcare and industrial applications, although we do sell and install products into other markets.schools. Our services consist of turnkey installation and system maintenance. Virtually all of our sales occur within North America.

Our lighting products consist primarily of LED lighting fixtures, many of which include IoT enabled control systems. Our principal lighting customers include large national account end-users, federal and state government facilities, large regional account end-users, electrical distributors, electrical contractors and energy service companies ("ESCOs"(“ESCOs”). Currently, most of our lighting products are manufactured at our leased production facility located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, although as the LED and related IoT market continues to evolve, we are increasingly sourcing products and components from third parties in order to provide versatility in our product development.

We differentiate ourselves from our competitors through offering comprehensive project management services to national account customers to retrofit their multiple locations. Our comprehensive services include initial site surveys and audits, utility incentive and government subsidy management, engineering design, and project management from delivery through to installation and controls integration. In addition, we began to offer lighting and electrical maintenance services in fiscal 2021 which enables us to support a lifetime business relationship with our customer.customer (which we call “Customers for Life”). We completed the acquisition of Stay-Lite Lighting acquisition on January 1, 2022, which is intendedhas allowed us to further expand our maintenance services capabilities. We completed the acquisition of Voltrek on October 5, 2022, which has allowed us to further expand our turnkey services capabilities as well as capitalize on the rapidly growing market for EV charging solutions.

We believe the market for LED lighting products and related controls continues to grow. Due to their size and flexibility in application, we also believe that LED lighting systems can address opportunities for retrofit applications that cannot be satisfied

20


by other lighting technologies. Our LED lighting technologies have becomebeen the primary component of our revenue as we continue to strive to be a leader in the LED market.


In fiscal 2022, we continued to successfully capitalize on our capability of being a full service, turn-key provider of LED lighting and controls systems with design, build, installation and project management services, as we continued a very large project for a major national account. As a result of this success, we have begun to evolveevolved our business strategy to focus on further expanding the nature and scope of our products and services offered to our customers. This further expansion of our products and services includes pursuing projects to develop recurring revenue streams, including providing lighting and electrical maintenance services and utilizing control sensor technology to collect data and assisting customers in the digitization of this data, along with other potential services. We also plan to pursueare pursuing the expansion of our IoT, “smart-building” and “connected ceiling” and other related technology, software and controls products and services that we offer to our customers. We currently plan on investing significant time, resources and capital into expanding our offerings in these areas with no expectation that they will result in us realizing material revenue in the near term and without any assurance they will succeed or be profitable. In fact, it is likely that these efforts will reduce our profitability, at least in the near term as we invest resources and incur expenses to develop these offerings. While we currently intend to primarily pursue these expansion strategies organically, we also are actively exploringmay explore potential additional business acquisitions, like our acquisition of Stay-Lite Lighting and Voltrek, which wouldhave more quickly addadded these types of expanded and different capabilities to our product and services offerings. It is possible that one or more of such potential acquisitions, if successfully completed, could significantly change, and potentially transform, the nature and extent of our business.

We generally do not have long-term contracts with our customers for product or turnkey services that provide us with recurring annual revenue. However, some of our maintenance services contracts usually consist of multi-year arrangements. We typically generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of lighting and control systems and related services to governmental, commercial and industrial customers on a project-by-project basis. We also perform work under master services or product purchasing agreements with major customers with sales completed on a purchase order basis. In addition, in order to provide quality and timely service under our multi-location master retrofit agreements we are required to make substantial working capital expenditures and advance inventory purchases that we may not be able to recoup if the agreements or a substantial volume of purchase orders under the agreements are delayed or terminated. The loss of, or substantial reduction in sales to, any of our significant customers, or our current single largest customer, or the termination or delay of a significant volume of purchase orders by one or more key customers, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any given future period.

We typically sell our lighting systems in replacement of our customers’ existing fixtures. We call this replacement process a "retrofit". We frequently engage our customer’s existing electrical contractor to provide installation and project management services. We also sell our lighting systems on a wholesale basis, principally to electrical distributors and ESCOs to sell to their own customer bases.

The gross margins of our products can vary significantly depending upon the types of products we sell, with margins typically ranging from 10% to 50%. As a result, a change in the total mix of our sales among higher or lower margin products can cause our profitability to fluctuate from period to period.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31. Our current fiscal year ends on March 31, 20232024 and is referred to as “fiscal 2023”2024”. We refer to our just completed fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2022,2023, as "fiscal 2022"2023", and our prior fiscal year which ended on March 31, 20212022 as "fiscal 2021"2022".

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business, trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, inOrion Electric Vehicle Charging Division (“EV Division”). Effective during the U.S. and globally. Our business was adversely impacted by measures taken by customers, suppliers, government entities and others to control the spread of the virus beginning in March 2020, the last few weeks of our 2020 fiscal year, and continuing most


significantly into the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2021. During2024, we began to evaluate and report the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we experienced a rebound in business as project installations resumed for our largest customer. However, potential future risks remain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to predict the overall impact, including the economicusing three segments: Orion Lighting Division, Orion Maintenance Division and regulatory impact, the COVID-19 pandemic will have on put business, liquidity, capital resources or financial results. If the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more pronounced in our markets or experiences a resurgence in markets recovering from the spread of COVID-19, our results of operation would likely be materially adversely affected.Orion Electric Vehicle Charging Division (“EV Division”).

OSG segmentLighting division revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 20232024 decreased by 58.9%8.9%, or $13.0 million. The decrease in revenue was due to a significant reduction of project volume from our largest customer and other customer delays on several larger LED lighting and controls projects, primarily caused by the response of customers to supply chain disruptions and COVID-19 related impacts to our businesses. This revenue decrease is partially offset by the added revenue from Stay-Lite Lighting. This decrease led to a corresponding operating loss in this segment, as a result of revenue decreasing absorption of fixed costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We believe our existing cash and operating cash flow provide us with the financial flexibility needed to meet our capital requirements, including to fund targeted our budgeted capital expenditures acquisitions and working capital needs for at least one year from the date of this report, as well as our longer-term capital requirements for periods beyond at least one year from the date of this report.

We had approximately $9.4$8.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022,2023, compared to $14.5$16.0 million at March 31, 2022.2023. Our cash position decreased as a result of an operating loss and an overall use of working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.2024.

Our future liquidity needs and forecasted cash flows are dependent upon many factors, including our relative revenue, gross margins, cash management practices, cost containment, working capital management and capital expenditures. While we believe that we will likely have adequate available cash and equivalents and credit availability under our Credit Agreement to satisfy our currently anticipated working capital and liquidity requirements duringfor at least the next 12 months based on our current cash flow forecast, there can be no assurance to that effect. Ifif we experience significant liquidity constraints, we may be required to issue equity or debt securities, reduce our sales efforts, implement additional cost savings initiatives or undertake other efforts to conserve our cash.

The decrease in our working capital from the fiscal 2022 year-end was primarily due to an overall reduction in project volume performed for our largest customer.

We generally attempt to maintain at least a three-month supply of on-hand inventory of purchased components and raw materials to meet anticipated demand, as well as to reduce our risk of unexpected raw material or component shortages or supply interruptions. Because of recent supply chain challenges, we have been making additional incremental inventory purchases. Our accounts receivables, inventory and payables may increase to the extent our revenue and order levels increase.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 29, 2020, we entered into a new $25 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as lender (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement replaced our prior $20.15 million secured revolving credit and security agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The replacement of the Prior Credit Agreement with the Credit Agreement provides us with increased financing capacity and liquidity to fund our operations and implement our strategic plans.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on December 29, 2025. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base requirement based on eligible receivables, inventory and cash. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the borrowing base supports $15.8 million availability of the Credit Facility. AsFacility supports $18.6 million of June 30, 2022, no amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility.availability, with $8.6 million of remaining availability net of $10.0 million borrowed.

The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of our assets.

BacklogEffective November 4, 2022, we, along with the Lender, executed Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment was to include the assets of our acquired subsidiaries, Stay-Lite Lighting and Voltrek as secured collateral under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, eligible assets of Stay-Lite and Voltrek are now included in our borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing our monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The amendment also clarified that the earn-out liabilities associated with the Stay-Lite and Voltrek transactions are permitted under the Credit Agreement and that the expenses recognized in connection with those earn-outs should be added back in the computation of EBITDA, as defined, under the Credit Agreement.

Inflation

We have experienced increases in various input costs including labor, components and transportation in the past year. In response, we have implemented multiple price increases, and we have substantially mitigated the inflationary pressures, such that our results from operations have not been materially affected to date by inflation. We are monitoring input costs and cannot currently predict the future impact toon our operations by inflation.increasing or ongoing inflationary pressures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and our related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, collectability of receivables, stock-based compensation warranty reserves and income taxes. The estimates of forecasted cash flows are used in the assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and the realizability of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is set forth in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.2023. For the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 2022,2023, there were no material changes in our accounting policies.
