1. Q4 and Full-Year Financial Results

Full-year net income was $123.9 million ($2.02 per share) on revenue of $989.6 million, up 12.5%, while gross margin dipped to 27.6% from 31.0% due to U.S. curtailments and a revenue mix shift.

Electricity segment revenue rose 3.6% in Q4 to $186.6 million, offset by curtailments and lower Puna rates, while full-year electricity revenue fell 1.2% to $693.9 million. Product revenue jumped 59.1% to $63.1 million in Q4 and 55.2% to $216.7 million for the year, and energy storage revenue surged 140.5% to $79.0 million in Q4 and 109.3% for 2025, with storage gross margin at 51.5% in the quarter.
