Email [email protected] Christopher Hayes: Thanks, Julia. Good afternoon, everyone. 2025 was a breakout year for Spruce and our fourth quarter capped it with exceptional momentum across the business. I could not be prouder of what our team accomplished. We delivered strong growth, significantly expanded margins and fundamentally improved the efficiency and scalability of our platform. For the fourth quarter, revenue was approximately $24 million, up 19% year-over-year, and operating EBITDA exceeded $17 million, reflecting both portfolio growth and meaningful cost improvements. For the full year, revenue increased 36% versus 2024, underscoring the strength of our platform and the impact of the NJR acquisition. Importantly, this growth was accompanied by substantial operating leverage. In the fourth quarter, O&M expense declined 64% year-over-year and SG&A declined 16% as we executed on our cost optimization initiatives. These gains are structural in nature and position us to drive continued margin expansion as we scale. We saw a meaningful inflection in cash generation. Adjusted cash flow from operations was positive $5.1 million in the quarter compared to negative $4.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting both improved operating performance and the growing contribution from our portfolio. At the same time, we continued to delever, repaying $35.1 million of debt during 2025, increasing our enterprise value. The shift in our operating income underscores our breakout year. For the full year 2025, income from operations was positive $17.9 million compared to negative $50.4 million in the prior year. Operating EBITDA was $80.1 million for the full year 2025, a 49% increase versus 2024. Taken together, these results demonstrate the strength of our model, a growing base of long-term contracted cash flows, improving unit economics and a platform that becomes more efficient as it scales. Before turning to our strategy, I want to address our financing process and the going concern disclosure you will see in our upcoming 10-K. As part of our capital strategy, we made a deliberate decision to extend our existing SP1 facility to...

Email [email protected] Christopher Hayes: Thanks, Julia. Good afternoon, everyone. We began 2026 with continued progress against our operational and financial priorities, delivering meaningful year-over-year improvement in profitability and operating efficiency, while maintaining stable liquidity and recurring cash flow generation from our portfolio. For the first quarter, revenue totaled approximately $23.4 million, which was generally in line with the prior year period despite weather-related impacts in the Northeast. Importantly, we continue to realize the benefits of our operational streamlining initiatives, resulting in substantial margin expansion and improving operating performance across the business. Operating EBITDA for the quarter was approximately $18.4 million, an increase of 49%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Income from operations improved by more than $5.5 million year-over-year, reflecting continued cost discipline, lower operating expenses and the structural efficiencies we implemented through 2025. Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our operating platform and the durability of our long-term contracted revenue base. While top line growth was modest during the quarter, our focus remains on maximizing cash generation, improving operating leverage and positioning the business for sustainable long-term value creation. During the quarter, we executed our cost optimization initiatives. Operations and maintenance expenses declined 70% year-over-year, while SG&A expense declined 21%, driven primarily by lower labor costs, reduced professional services spend and ongoing operational efficiencies associated with Project Streamline. Importantly, we believe a significant portion of these improvements are structural in nature. While some O&M activity shifted into later quarters of the year, the broader improvements in labor efficiency, vendor management and servicing operations continue to support a meaningfully lower recurring cost structure for the business. Turning to liquidity and financing. As expected, our quarter end financial statements include a going concern disclosure tied to the accounting treatment associated with the current...

Delivered a breakout year in 2025 characterized by a shift to positive operating income of $17.9 million, driven by the integration of the NJR acquisition and structural cost improvements. Achieved significant operating leverage as O&M expenses declined 64% year-over-year, resulting from the completion of meter upgrades and enhanced cost discipline. Transitioned to positive adjusted cash flow from operations of $5.1 million in Q4, reflecting the stability of long-term contracted residential solar cash flows. Prioritized a deliberate extension of the SP1 financing facility to maintain optionality for a more comprehensive refinancing of the SP1, SP2, and SP3 portfolios. Focused on a three-pillar growth strategy: acquiring installed residential portfolios, expanding developer partnerships, and scaling the capital-light Spruce Pro servicing platform. Maintained a disciplined capital allocation approach, repaying $35.1 million of debt during the year to increase enterprise value while holding a $93.1 million cash balance. Moving aggressively toward a comprehensive financing solution across multiple portfolios following the strategic extension of the SP1 facility to January 2027. Anticipates the 'going concern' disclosure in the upcoming 10-K will be resolved upon execution of the broader refinancing plan, noting it is a timing-related accounting requirement. Expects continued margin expansion as the platform scales, supported by the full implementation of 'Project Streamline' savings and recurring run-rate expense reductions. Targets near-term growth through a robust pipeline of Spruce Pro servicing opportunities, including several large-scale potential contracts. Assumes seasonal patterns in solar production will continue to impact quarterly revenue and cash flow fluctuations, particularly during winter months. The 'going concern' disclosure is explicitly attributed to the timing of the debt refinancing process rather than underlying operational weakness or lender disengagement. SP1 facility extension requires a signed term sheet by October 30, 2026, as a stipulation for the extended maturity date. Revenue reporting includes an accounting nuance where SP4 portfolio revenue is recorded as interest income 'below the line' rather than top-line revenue. Debt structure remains largely protected with a blended interest rate of 6.1%, which includes the impact of existi...

Spruce called 2025 a “breakout year,” reporting full-year revenue up 36% and operating EBITDA up 49% (operating EBITDA of $80.1M), driven by the NJR portfolio and steep cost cuts (O&M down 64% y/y, SG&A down 16% y/y). Cash generation improved materially — adjusted cash flow from operations was $5.1M in Q4 versus −$4.1M a year earlier — and the company repaid $35.1M of debt in 2025, ending the year with $93.1M cash and $695.5M total principal at a ~6.1% blended rate. Management said an upcoming going concern disclosure is driven by the timing of a broader refinancing (not operating performance); Spruce extended the SP1 facility to Jan. 30, 2027 and must secure a term sheet by Oct. 30, 2026 as it pursues a comprehensive refinancing of SP1–SP3. Interested in Spruce Power Holding Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better. Spruce Power (NYSE:SPRU) reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that management characterized as a “breakout year,” citing higher revenue, expanding margins, improved cash generation, and continued debt paydown. On the company’s earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Chris Hayes and Chief Financial Officer Thomas Cimino also addressed an upcoming going concern disclosure tied to the timing of a broader refinancing process. Cimino said Spruce generated $24 million of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, up from $20.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. He attributed the increase “primarily” to the residential solar portfolio acquired from NJR in November 2024 and to higher solar renewable energy credit (SREC) revenues. → Down 25%, Chinese Giant PDD Could Be a Strong Long-Term Value However, Cimino noted revenue declined sequentially from the third quarter, describing it as consistent with typical seasonality. “Sequentially, revenue declined from the third quarter, which is consistent with the seasonal pattern of solar production and customer payments, particularly during the winter months when solar generation is lower,” he said. For the full year, Hayes said revenue increased 36% versus 2024, which he also tied to the platform’s performance and the impact of the NJR acquisition. → Coursera's Options Anomaly: A Big Bet on What's Next?
