(Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo,” “Zeo Energy,” or the “Company”), a provider of residential solar and commercial long-duration energy-storage solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2026.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure reconciled below) was a loss of $(2.1) million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue for the first six months of 2026 increased 9.2% to $29.4 million compared to $26.9 million in the first six months of 2025. Gross profit for the first six months of 2026 decreased to $13.2 million from $14.8 million in the prior year quarter. Contribution profit for the first six months increased to $5.7 million from $(0.0) million in the first six months of 2025. Net loss for the first six months of 2026 was $(7.4) million compared to $(16.0) million in the first six months of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first six months of 2026 was $(5.0) million compared to $(3.9) million in the first six months of 2025. Management Commentary “Zeo continues to generate results that are outpacing the residential solar market, and we believe we have successfully turned a corner as we enter a new growth cycle,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “Revenues in the second quarter improved 23% sequentially versus our first quarter 2026 revenues. While the industry has seen a 40% decrease in permits for residential solar during the first half of the year, our revenues were up 9% (1). We continue to invest in our commercial energy strategy to support data center partners. In addition, we have made investments in our operational processes to improve overall costs. We expect these investments to bear fruit in the second half of the year and enhance operating profit. Overall, we believe we are well positioned to further separate ourselves from our peers.” Mr. Bridgewater continued, “Longer term, we are optimistic about our growth potential in our core residential solar business. As an example, we are seeing improving access to tax equity capital in the residential solar market. After a period of reduced investor activity, Zeo’s principal financing partner closed multiple tax equity funds in 2026, a positive sign of normalization. Zeo has strengthened its relationship with this partner, with greater alignment to expand funding capacity and support higher installation volumes. These developments provide a foundation for growth through the balance of 2026 and into 2027 as the market for residential solar becomes more robust.” Lastly, Mr. Bridgewater commented on the Company’s commercial opportunities outlook, “We continue to evaluate several long-duration energy storage projects to support behind-the-meter power. We remain focused on diversifying Zeo Energy into commercial energy, including data center and renewable applications, and remain opportunistic in identifying and integrating the right set of assets that will fit into our overall operating business and align with our vision to build a comprehensive energy solutions platform.” Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Results compare the second quarter of 2026 ended June 30, 2026 to the second quarter of 2025 ended June 30, 2025. Net revenue was $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, down 10.7% from $18.1 million in the prior year period due to a decrease in the number of solar system installations. Gross profit decreased to $7.6 million, 47.1% of net revenue, in the second quarter of 2026 from $10.8 million, 59.8% of net revenue, in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was due to decreased revenue while margins were lower due to higher sourcing of domestic content. Contribution profit in the second quarter of 2026 increased to $3.4 million from $2.7 million in the prior year period and contribution margin increased to 21.1% of revenue from 15.1% of revenue in the prior year period due to better cost control. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $(2.7) million; the same as the prior year period. Overall, Zeo’s operating expenses were down $1.8 million, or 8.6%, compared to the prior year period. This resulted in a narrowing of loss per share to $(0.07) from $(0.11). Adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of $(2.1) million, (13.0)% of net revenue, in the second quarter of 2026 from approximately $1.6 million, 9.0% of net revenue, in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower depreciation and amortization, revenues, and stock-based compensation expenses. First Half 2026 Financial Results Results compare the first six months of 2026 ended June 30, 2026 to the first six months of 2025 ended June 30, 2025. Net revenue was $29.4 million in the first six months of 2026, up 9.2% from $26.9 million in the prior year period as a result of an increase in the number of solar system installations in the first half of 2026. Gross profit decreased to $13.2 million, 45.1% of net revenue, in the first six months of 2026 from $14.8 million, 55.1% of net revenue, in the prior year period due to higher sourcing of domestic content. Contribution profit increased to $5.7 million in the first six months of 2026 from $(0.0) million in the prior year period, and contribution margin increased to 19.2% of revenue from (0.1)% of revenue in the prior year period due better cost control. Net loss in the first six months of 2026 was $(7.4) million compared to $(16.0) million in the prior year period. The decrease in loss was driven by higher revenue, lower operating expenses, including lower depreciation and amortization and sales and marketing expenses. Overall, Zeo’s operating expenses were down $6.1 million, or 14.2%, as compared to the prior year period. This resulted in a narrowing of loss per share to $(0.17) from $(0.44). Adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of $(5.0) million, (16.9)% of net revenue, from $(3.9) million, (14.4)% of net revenue, in the prior year period.

Revenue increases 50% over prior year quarter, driven by increase in solar system installations NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo,” “Zeo Energy,” or the “Company”), a provider of residential solar and commercial long-duration energy-storage solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter March 31, 2026. First Quarter Financial and Operational Highlights First quarter revenue was $13.2 million, up 50% from $8.8 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin for the quarter increased to $5.6 million from $4.0 million in the prior year period. Contribution profit increased to $2.2 million from a loss of $(2.8) million in the prior year period. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a loss of $(2.9) million, an improvement from a Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(5.5) million in the prior year period. Management Commentary “We grew revenue significantly year-over-year as we continue to focus on core states with low solar penetration rates and large upside potential,” said ZEO Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “Despite the first quarter normally being our slowest period due to the seasonality of our business that peaks in the summer months, we delivered over 50% top-line growth while also reducing our cash operating expenses. We are also continuing to look for ways to reduce costs as we did in the first quarter, especially considering the shift to domestic content sourcing which carries higher costs.” “At the same time, our work under the memorandum of understanding with Creekstone continues to progress and we will share more details with our investors as they become available. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about our growth potential in both the residential solar business and our long-duration energy storage business in 2026 and beyond.” First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Results compare the first quarter of 2026 ending March 31, 2026, to the first quarter of 2025 ending March 31, 2025. Total revenue was $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 50% from $8.8 million in the 2025 period as a result of an increase in the number of solar system installations. Gross profit increased to $5.6 million, 42.5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2026 from $4.0 million, 45.5% of total revenue, in the prior year period due to increased revenue while margins were lower due to higher cost of goods sold from an increase in the use of domestic content product. Contribution profit increased to $2.2 million from a loss of ($2.8) million in the prior year period and contribution margin increased to 17.0% of revenue from (31.5)% of revenue in the prior year period due to higher revenues and better cost control. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $(4.7) million compared to $(13.3) million in the prior year period. The decrease in loss was driven by higher revenues and lower operating expenses which included a 33.9% reduction in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was driven by significant reductions in bad debt expense as the result of the bankruptcy of one of Zeo’s customers and stock-based compensation expense compared to the prior period. This resulted in a narrowing of loss per share to $(0.11) from $(0.48). Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, increased to $(2.9) million, (21.6)% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2026 from approximately $(5.5) million, (62.7)% of total revenue, in the comparable 2025 period. The change was primarily related to the improvement in revenue and lower operating expenses.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo,” “Zeo Energy,” or the “Company”), a provider of residential solar and commercial long-duration energy-storage solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Recent Financial and Operational Highlights Fourth quarter revenue was $18.6 million, in line with revenue from the prior year period. Gross margin increased by 50 basis points to 43.5%, up from 43.0% in the prior year. On February 18, 2026, Zeo Energy signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Creekstone Energy to develop approximately 280 megawatt (MW) of baseload energy generation and long-duration energy storage to support Creekstone's data center under construction in Millard County, Utah. Management Commentary “In 2025, we delivered consistent revenue in a challenging operating environment while also managing our core operating costs,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “Zeo remains well positioned to capitalize on the rapidly changing environment in residential solar sector, particularly given the low overall penetration rates in some of the most attractive markets. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect our core residential solar business to grow materially, with the goal of growth in line with what we experienced in the third quarter of 2025 before we encountered weather-related delays at the end of this past year. We also expect our Adjusted EBITDA margins to return to the mid-to-high single digits. At the same time, we are continuing to expand into favorable new geographic markets, like Virginia, and attract top sales talent that values our competitive differentiation, both of which have us set up well for future growth in 2026.” “Separately, our 2025 acquisition of Heliogen positions us to expand beyond residential applications into the large commercial market. Our Heliogen efforts have begun to bear fruit as evidenced by the MOU we signed last month with Creekstone Energy to explore the ability of Zeo to support the power needs of Creekstone’s gigasite facility, which is intended for cloud computing and AI applications. We are engaged in several other discussions with potential data center and commercial customers seeking large-scale, behind-the-meter energy solutions utilizing Heliogen’s photovoltaic (PV) solar and energy storage capabilities. Further, we are continuing to explore complementary acquisitions such as Heliogen in 2026.” Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results Results compare the fourth quarter of 2025 ending December 31, 2025, to the fourth quarter of 2024 ending December 31, 2024. Total revenue was $18.6 million in Q4 2025, in line with the Q4 2024 period. Harsher weather in key markets had an impact on our ability to install solar products during Q4 2025. Gross profit decreased to $2.1 million (11.3% of total revenue) in Q4 2025 from $8.3 million (44.6% of total revenue) in Q4 2024 due primarily to an increase in labor expense and the cost of domestic content materials used to meet tax incentive criteria for our customers. Net loss for Q4 2025 was $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease was driven by the decrease in gross profit and other costs associated with servicing our financing partners. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $(1.4) million in Q4 2025 from approximately $3.9 million in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to the increased costs associated with materials and labor. Full Year 2025 Financial Results Results compare the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Total revenue was $69.3 million, a 5.0% decrease from $73.2 million in 2024. The change was primarily related to a challenging residential sales environment with changes in tax policy and financing options available to homeowners. Zeo carried additional expenses in 2025 compared to 2024 due to the cost of servicing acquired Lumio customers and leases, and higher overall labor costs. Zeo is also carrying the expense of personnel acquired in the Heliogen acquisition. The Company believes the above costs will be better absorbed in 2026 as it realizes the benefit from the increased revenues and the centralization of our operations in key markets. Gross profit decreased to $30.2 million (43.6% of total revenue) from $31.5 million (43.0% of total revenue) in 2024. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven primarily by an improvement in cost of goods sold, mainly driven by the impact of the costs associated with the deferred revenue in 2023 being deferred to 2024. There were no such costs in 2025. Net loss was $19.6 million compared to $9.9 million in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to $8 million in amortization expense associated with the November 2024 Lumio acquisition and a decrease in revenue. Zeo incurred higher incentive stock compensation, higher costs associated with the acquisitions of Lumio and Heliogen, and the bankruptcy of a finance partner which resulted in $3.2 million of one-time bad debt expense. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $(3.3) million from $4.0 million in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to lower revenues and ($3.2) million of bad debt associated with the bankruptcy of a customer. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA Zeo Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation. Zeo utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of the Company’s operations because the Company believes the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allows for a more relevant comparison of Zeo’s results of operations to other companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo,” “Zeo Energy,” or the “Company”), a Florida-based provider of residential solar and commercial long-duration energy-storage solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Recent Financial and Operational Highlights Third quarter net revenue was approximately $23.9 million, a 32% increase from the second quarter and a 22% increase from the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $2.0 million, an improvement from $1.4 million in the second quarter and $(0.2) million in the third quarter of 2024. The Company’s completed acquisition, during the third quarter, of Heliogen, a provider of on-demand clean energy technology solutions, provides the company with an opportunity to establish a division focused on long-duration energy generation and storage for commercial and industrial-scale facilities, including artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing data centers. As a result of the acquisition of Heliogen, the Company has begun to receive strong interest from potential customers interested in solutions supported by Heliogen’s technology, including data centers and other energy infrastructure projects. Management Commentary “While the broader residential solar market remains challenging, we believe that we have demonstrated a consistent ability to maintain revenue and manage our costs, positioning us well as conditions improve,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “In the third quarter we generated approximately $23.9 million in net revenue, up more than 20% from the third quarter of 2024. Looking ahead, we expect Q4 net revenues to be consistent with Q3, having stabilized in the near term as we navigate typical seasonality associated with the year end. At the same time, we are continuing to expand into favorable new markets, like Virginia, and attract top sales talent that values our competitive differentiation, both of which we believe have us set up well for future growth in 2026. “Separately, our recently completed acquisition of Heliogen has begun to create additional interest and awareness for the business with exciting potential new opportunities on the horizon. More specifically, we are engaged in several discussions with potential data center and commercial end customers seeking large-scale behind-the-meter energy solutions utilizing photovoltaic (PV) solar and storage. As our diversified platform for energy solutions thesis begins to emerge, we intend to balance select opportunities while remaining committed to profitable growth of our core business.” Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Results comparing the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 to the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Total net revenue was approximately $23.9 million in Q3 2025, a 21.6% increase from approximately $19.7 million in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was largely due to an increase in installations and revenues compared to the prior year. Gross profit increased to approximately $13.7 million (57.4% of total net revenue) in Q3 2025 from approximately $9.6 million (48.8% of total net revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was driven in part by an increase in the average selling price of contracts to customers compared to the prior year. Net loss for Q3 2025 was approximately $1.9 million compared to approximately $2.9 million in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease was primarily due to an net increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, increased to approximately $2.0 million (8.2% of total net revenue) in Q3 2025 from approximately $(0.2) million (1.2% of total net revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to the improvement in net revenue in the third quarter of 2025. First Nine Months 2025 Financial Results Results compare the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Total revenue was $50.8 million, a 7.0% decrease from $54.6 million in the comparable 2024 period. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was a decrease in deferred revenue recognized in first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 benefited from systems which were installed at the end of 2023 that were recognized in 2024. Gross profit increased to $28.1 million (55.3% of total revenue) from $23.2 million (42.5% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was driven primarily by an improvement in cost of goods sold, mainly driven by the impact of the costs associated with the deferred revenue in 2023 being deferred to 2024. There were no such costs in 2025. Net loss was $17.9 million compared to $8.7 million in the comparable 2024 period. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to softer residential solar market conditions in the first half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $(1.9) million (3.8% of total revenue) from $0.1 million (0.2% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to lower revenues and bad debt associated with the bankruptcy of a customer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA Zeo Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation. Zeo utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of the Company’s operations because the Company believes the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allows for a more relevant comparison of Zeo’s results of operations to other companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented: Adjusted EBITDA Margin Zeo Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin measures net income (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and is expressed as a percentage of revenue.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo,” “Zeo Energy,” or the “Company”), a Florida-based provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025. Recent Operational Highlights Completed acquisition of Heliogen, a provider of on-demand clean energy technology solutions, allowing the company to establish a division focused on long-duration energy generation and storage for commercial and industrial-scale facilities, including artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing data centers. Successfully staffed and sold into existing and new markets, including Virginia, during the peak summer sales season. Joined the Russell Microcap® Index following the conclusion of the 2025 Russell US Indexes annual reconstitution. Management Commentary “In the second quarter we returned to growth and executed well through most of our peak selling season,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “During the period we generated $18.1 million in revenue, a 22% increase from the prior year driven by our expansion into new markets and the early results of our investments in a year-round sales force. At the same time, we remain committed to profitable growth, which has enabled us to operate with a long-term outlook, even during subdued residential solar market conditions. Our recently completed acquisition of Heliogen is a clear example of this approach in action. Heliogen’s strong balance sheet bolsters our current competitive positioning while its long-duration energy storage technology also diversifies our revenue streams into attractive and growing markets including behind-the-meter energy solutions for data center customers. As we head into the second half of the year, we are well positioned to build on our current momentum and are actively pursuing additional growth opportunities in a favorable buyer’s market.” First Six Months 2025 Financial Results Results compare the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Total revenue was $26.9 million, a 23.0% decrease from $34.9 million in the comparable 2024 period. The primary reason for the decrease in revenue was a decrease in deferred revenue recognized in first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 benefited from systems which were installed at the end of 2023 that were recognized in 2024. Gross profit increased to $14.4 million (53.5% of total revenue) from $13.6 million (38.9% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was driven primarily by an improvement in cost of goods sold, mainly driven by the impact of the costs associated with the deferred revenue in 2023 being deferred to 2024. There were no such costs in 2025. Net loss was $16.0 million compared to $5.9 million in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to softer residential solar market conditions in the first quarter of the year. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $(5.0) million (18.4% of total revenue) from $(0.2) million (0.6% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to the change in net loss. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Results compare the 2025 second quarter ended June 30, 2025 to the 2024 second quarter ended June 30, 2024. Total revenue was $18.1 million in Q2 2025, a 22.3% increase from $14.8 million in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was largely due to an increase in installations and revenues compared to the prior year. Gross profit increased to $10.6 million (58.6% of total revenue) in Q2 2025 from $7.6 million (51.2% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was driven in part by an increase in the average selling price of contracts to customers compared to the prior year. Net loss for Q2 2025 was $2.7 million compared to $1.8 million in the comparable 2024 period. The increase was partially due to an increase in operating expenses primarily related to efforts to include year-round sales through digital lead generation. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, increased to $1.4 million (7.7% of total revenue) in Q2 2025 from approximately $(0.8) million (5.2% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to the change in net loss. For more information, please visit the Zeo Energy Corp. investor relations website at investors.zeoenergy.com. About Zeo Energy Corp.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo”, “Zeo Energy”, or the “Company”), a Florida-based provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. Recent Operational Highlights Entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Heliogen, a provider of on-demand clean energy technology solutions, allowing the company to establish a division focused on long-duration energy generation and storage for commercial and industrial-scale facilities, including artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing data centers. Recruited and retained adequate staff ahead of the peak summer sales season. Management Commentary “In the first quarter of 2025, we continued to navigate the challenging solar market and successfully generated $8.8 million of revenue,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “As announced last month, we were able to take advantage of the softer sector conditions by entering into a definitive agreement to acquire Heliogen. We believe that this proposed acquisition positions us to expand beyond traditional residential solar and into adjacent clean energy verticals with long-term upside. This move will also enhance our balance sheet and diversify our revenue base going forward.” “As anticipated, in Q1 we experienced a slowdown due to the seasonality of our intensive summer sales model. This slowdown was exacerbated by the current high-interest rate environment. We've maintained our strategic focus during this period, streamlining operations and strengthening our sales team ahead of the critical summer season that is now underway. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our full-year outlook. We expect meaningful improvement in the latter half of the year as market activity increases.” First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Results compare the 2025 first quarter ended March 31, 2025 to the 2024 first quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total revenue was $8.8 million in Q1 2025, a 56.4% decrease from $20.1 million in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest rates creating a challenging environment for residential solar direct sales. Gross profit decreased to $3.8 million (43.0% of total revenue) in Q1 2025 from $6.0 million (29.9% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease was driven in part by the decrease in sales compared to the prior period. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was the result of improved operational efficiencies in labor and a reduction in materials costs. Net loss for Q1 2025 was $13.3 million compared to $4.1 million in the comparable 2024 period. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in overall sales for the period. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $(6.4) million (72.3% of total revenue) in Q1 2024 from approximately $(0.5) million (2.3% of total revenue) in the comparable 2024 period. The change was primarily related to the change in net loss. For more information, please visit the Zeo Energy Corp. investor relations website at investors.zeoenergy.com. About Zeo Energy Corp.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) (“Zeo”, “Zeo Energy”, or the “Company”), a leading Florida-based provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. Recent Financial and Operational Highlights Reported $73.2 million of revenue in 2024 despite pricing challenges from a prolonged, higher interest rate environment Reported $2.0 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2024, driven by the Company’s flexible operating model and disciplined cost management Completed the integration of Lumio’s assets, which were acquired in November 2024 as part of Zeo’s market expansion plan Secured $4.0 million in December to develop a year-round sales force and expand market presence, accelerating the Company’s growth trajectory heading into the second half of 2025 Achieved 6th straight year of positive adjusted EBITDA Management Commentary “While 2024 was a challenging year for the solar business as a whole, we are entering 2025 with a sense of renewed optimism around the opportunities ahead,” said Zeo Energy Corp. CEO Tim Bridgewater. “In a consolidating market, we remain positioned to acquire compelling renewable energy assets at attractive valuations to fuel our growth and gain market share over the intermediate term. Our November transaction with Lumio is an example of our ability to identify targets that offer Zeo accretive value with improved geographic and strategic positioning. “Financially, thanks to our continued focus on efficiency as well as the flexibility in our operating model, we drove our sixth straight year of positive adjusted EBITDA. At the same time, our topline performance largely stabilized quarter-over-quarter, which was encouraging to see as we move through our traditionally slower seasons with limited sales in Q4 and Q1. As of today, our expanded recruitment initiatives remain on target as we begin our peak summer sales season in the second quarter of 2025. Put together, we believe we have the right strategy to operate sustainably today and to thrive over the long term.” Full Year 2024 Financial Results Results compare the full year ended December 31, 2024 to the full year ended December 31, 2023. Total revenue was $73.2 million in 2024, a 33.2% decrease from $109.7 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest rates creating a challenging environment for residential solar sales throughout 2024. Gross profit decreased to $34.4 million (47.0% of total revenue) in 2024 from $49.8 million (45.4% of total revenue) in 2023. The decrease in gross profit was driven in part by the decrease in sales compared to the prior period. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was the result of improved operational efficiencies in labor, a reduction in materials costs, and an increase in sales volume from our internal sales teams. Net loss was $9.9 million in 2024 compared to net income of $4.8 million in the comparable 2023 period. The decrease was primarily due to stock compensation, increased headcount, and costs incurred as a result of becoming a public company. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, remained positive, but decreased to $2.0 million (2.7% of total revenue) in 2024 from $7.0 million (6.4% of total revenue) in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest rates creating a challenging environment for residential solar sales in 2024. Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results Results compare the 2024 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 to the 2024 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. Total revenue was $18.6 million in Q4 2024, an 18.9% decrease from $23.0 million in the comparable 2023 period. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest rates creating a challenging environment for residential solar direct sales throughout 2024. Gross profit decreased to $11.2 million (60.1% of total revenue) in Q4 2024 from $12.7 million (55.1% of total revenue) in the comparable 2023 period. The decrease was driven in part by the decrease in sales compared to the prior period. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was the result of improved operational efficiencies in labor and a reduction in materials costs. Net loss for Q4 2024 was $1.1 million compared to $1.6 million in the comparable 2023 period. The improvement was primarily related to a $0.7 million tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, increased to $3.1 million (16.8% of total revenue) in Q4 2024 from approximately $(0.9) million (4.1% of total revenue) in the comparable 2023 period. The change was primarily related to a $3.0 million change in depreciation and amortization.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted EBITDA Zeo Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation. Zeo utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measure in the management of the Company’s operations because the Company believes the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allows for a more relevant comparison of Zeo’s results of operations to other companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, and other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented: Adjusted EBITDA Margin Zeo Energy defines Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin measures net income (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and is expressed as a percentage of revenue. In the table above, Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss). Zeo utilizes Adjusted EBITDA margin as an internal performance measure in the management of the Company’s operations because the Company believes the exclusion of these non-cash and non-recurring charges allows for a more relevant comparison of the Company’s results of operations to other companies in Zeo’s industry. The following table sets forth Zeo’s calculations of Adjusted EBITDA margin for the periods presented: Forward-Looking Statements This news release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to the Company.
