Capstone Green Energy Reports Strong Third Quarter Results with Significant Revenue Growth, Margin Expansion, and Continued Profitability

Disciplined Execution, Drive Positive Net Income and EBITDA Growth

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Capstone”), together with its subsidiaries (OTCQX: CGEH), a leading provider of behind-the-meter clean microturbine energy solutions for industrial and commercial operations, with solutions designed for emerging datacenter applications, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended December 31, 2025. The quarter was highlighted by a 33% increase in revenue, a 14-point expansion in gross margin, and the Company’s second consecutive quarter of positive net income, demonstrating the operating leverage created by Capstone’s Three Pillar strategy.

Revenue Performance

Revenue for the third quarter was $26.8 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 33% over prior fiscal year third quarter of $20.1 million. Year-to-date revenue totaled $83.0 million, up from $58.5 million for the same period prior fiscal year, representing an increase of $24.5 million or 42% increase. These improvements were primarily driven by stronger demand in the Company’s Microturbine Products category, higher rental utilization rates within its Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) business, along with growth in parts sales and the Company’s long-term service agreement base.

Profitability Performance

The Company’s return to profitability was driven by continued operational discipline, a favorable product mix, and the impact of cost-reduction initiatives implemented throughout fiscal 2026.

• Gross profit for the quarter was $10.4 million, an increase of $5.4 million compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Gross margin expanded to 39%, up 14 percentage points from 25% in the prior year period.
• The increase in gross profit was driven by a combination of more favorable product mix, direct material cost improvements, and margin lift associated with the acquisition of the Cal Microturbine distributor territory.
• The Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) cost-out initiatives continue to deliver exceptional results, which helped mitigate the impact of new tariffs on imports.
• The Company reported net income of $1.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
• The continued expansion of gross profit, along with mindful investments and spending in OPEX, are delivering Capstone’s second quarter in a row of positive net income.
• Year-to-date net income totaled $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Earnings Performance

The Company delivered strong year-over-year earnings improvement in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting higher profitability, disciplined cost management, and continued operational excellence.

• Earnings per share (EPS) from operations was $0.06, an improvement of $0.20 per share compared to a loss of $0.14 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
• After reflecting the accretion of preferred units required under the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value (HLBV) accounting method, reported EPS was a loss of $1.79 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.1 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period. The improvement was driven primarily by a $3.9 million increase in net income, partially offset by $0.8 million in additional financing expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the discussion below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
• Total cash, including restricted cash, was $15.2 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $7.5 million from September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $3.8 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants net of the required debt payment made during this quarter.
• The Company remained in compliance with all financial covenants during the period.

Year-to-Date Fiscal 2026 Highlights

The Company delivered strong year-to-date financial performance through the third quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by higher gross profit, improved operating leverage, and continued execution of cost-out initiatives to‑date financial performance.

• Gross profit year-to-date was $27.0 million, an increase of $11.2 million compared to $15.8 million in the prior year period.
• Gross margin improved to 32%, up 5 percentage points from 27% in the prior year.
• Growth in gross profit reflected stronger profitability across all revenue streams, driven by price realizations and sustainable operating excellence. These improvements were supported by ongoing Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) cost‑out initiatives and root-cause analysis processes executed throughout the fiscal year.
• The Company reported net income of $1.3 million, compared to a net loss of $7.1 million in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily driven by the $11.2 million increase in gross profit and a $1.9 million reduction in non-recurring professional expenses, and includes the impact of continued investments in people and technology to support long-term growth.
• Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.3 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period. The $7.2 million improvement was driven primarily by an $8.4 million increase in net income, that contained fewer non-recurring professional expenses added back in Adjusted EBITDA, which continue to diminish as the Company normalizes its cost structure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the discussion below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.2 million provided in the prior year period. The $0.2 million decrease, despite higher Net income of $8.4 million, was driven mainly by $8.6 million higher spend on inventory and prepaid assets, realizing $4.6 million in deferred revenue and increased accounts payable of $5.4 million as we continue to prepare for the future operational demands.
• Net cash provided by investment activities was $0.6 million, compared to $0.8 million used in the prior year period. The $1.4 million improvement was primarily due to $1.4 million of cash acquired in connection with the acquisition of Cal Microturbine.
• Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million, compared to $0.2 million used in the prior year period, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of common stock for $13.6 million offset by an $8.3 million repayment of an outstanding term note.
• EPS from operations was $0.07 per share, an improvement of $0.44 per share compared to a loss of $0.37 per share in the prior year period. After reflecting the accretion of preferred units required under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) accounting method, reported EPS was a loss of $2.79 per share.

Management Commentary

“Our third quarter results reflect strong execution across our Three Pillar strategy, translating revenue growth into meaningful margin expansion and, most importantly, our second consecutive quarter of positive net income,” said Vince Canino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. “The disciplines embedded in our Financial Health Pillar are taking hold, supported by the systems, tools and processes we are implementing under our Sustainable Excellence Pillar. We are also seeing the benefits of a smooth transition following our Cal Microturbine acquisition, which is further strengthening our bottom line.”

The continued adoption of distributed generation underscores the value of our fuel-flexible, high-efficiency, and clean ultra-low-emissions energy technology. By leveraging the benefits of an improved product mix, high EaaS utilization, expanding service agreement base and strong manufacturing and operational discipline, we believe we are translating these advantages into stronger margins, higher recurring revenue streams, and sustainable profitability.

“For the seventh consecutive quarter, we delivered significant improvement in gross profit, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by favorable product mix, improved cost structure, and disciplined expense management,” said John Miller, Interim Chief Financial Officer of Capstone Green Energy. “While working capital requirements increased alongside higher sales activity, our financial position remains solid, and we continue to meet all covenant requirements. We are focused on sustaining margin expansion, optimizing cash flow, and maintaining financial flexibility as we support ongoing growth across our core markets.”

Cautionary Notes

This release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to future profitability and the growth of the business. The Company has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “goal” and similar terms and phrases, but such words, terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of certain non-cash and non-recurring costs. Management believes that the use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments, which we view as a better measure of our operating performance. Refer to the attached table for the reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Financial Tables to Follow

To supplement the Company’s unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the Company’s financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company’s economic performance year-over-year.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, restructuring, financing, shareholder litigation, non-recurring legal, restatement and SEC investigation expenses, and reorganization items. Restructuring expenses relate to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and financing expenses related to the evaluation and negotiation of the Company’s senior indebtedness. Shareholder litigation expense resulting from the restatement of the Company’s financials and non-recurring legal expenses are one-time non-recurring legal fees. Restatement expenses are professional fees related to the restatement of the Company’s prior year financials. SEC investigation expenses relate to the costs arising from the restatement of the Company’s financials. Reorganization items represent adjustments occurring during the bankruptcy period. Merger and acquisition expense relates to expenses incurred for the acquisition of Cal Microturbine.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.

While management believes that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the methods of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
