It is important to note that our net loss includes a $3.18 million operating loss from our subsidiary, Phoenix Motor Inc., which we spun out into a separate entity on the Nasdaq in 2022. Excluding this, SPI Energy's operations have passed the breakeven point, underscoring the strength of our core business lines."

"Importantly, we also further expanded our solar module manufacturing capacity during the second quarter by adding a new facility in South Carolina, positioning us for further growth as the new facility begins production later this year. Additionally, we signed a significant agreement in May to sell an 18.25MW community solar portfolio in Oregon to Luminace, marking another step forward in our strategic growth plan. As we look ahead, we are committed to driving greater success and growth in upcoming quarters and remain on track to achieve our previously issued guidance for the year as we continue to execute our strategy with diligence and focus. These are exciting times for SPI Energy, and I want to thank all of our customers, partners and employees for their continued support as we strive to deliver on our vision."
