Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPSI) (“Pioneer” or the “Company”), a leader in the design, manufacture, service and integration of distributed energy resources, power generation equipment and mobile electric vehicle (“EV”) charging solutions, today announced recent business highlights and financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Recent Business Highlights
Q1 2026 Financial Highlights
*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.
