Company Guidance

Management expects Q4 to be stronger than Q4 25 in absolute terms and expects to achieve the high end of its full year adjusted EBITDA guidance range between $100 million and $105 million; full-year revenue is expected to increase somewhere between 25-30% and adjusted EBITDA by more than 15% versus last year. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the second half of 26 is expected to remain in line with the Q2 26 level plus or minus approximately 1 percentage point; with 30.3% in Q2, H2 is expected to reach between 29-31%, implying a slightly lower Q4 percentage than Q3. Pass-throughs should be substantially completed around mid 27, will be continuing in 2027, and will be substantially completed as we get into the second half of 2030; CapEx was about $22 million year to date, including about 5.2 in Q3, is expected to be around $5 million in Q4, and is expected to increase substantially from next year onwards. The planned 25% increase in space solar cell production capacity for 2026 is ramping up as planned, the St. George site is planned to expand by approximately 50% with completion expected in the second half of 27, and germanium-based metal capacity is about 20 tons or so, taking somewhere around a year, year and a half to put all that capability and capacity in place.
