 of our total engineering spend and consist primarily of personnel-related costs associated with our team of internal engineers, third-party consultants, materials and overhead. We expense these costs as incurred prior to a respective product being ready for commercial production. Total engineering expense was $4.8 million and $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $2.3 million and $1.6 million were related to R&D activities performed by the Company during the same periods, respectively. Total engineering expense was $13.7 million and $12.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $7.2 million and $5.3 million were related to R&D activities performed by the Company during the same periods, respectively.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Project Timing

Because we recognize revenue on projects as legal title to equipment is transferred from us to the customer, any delays in large projects from one quarter to another for any reason may cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations and make the timing of revenue difficult to forecast. Our end-users’ ability to install solar energy systems can be affected by a number of factors including: 

•Weather. Inclement weather can affect our customers’ ability to install their systems, particularly in the northeastern U.S., Europe and Brazil. In addition, weather delays can adversely affect our logistics and operations by causing delays in the shipping and delivery of our materials. 

•The U.S. interest rate environment. We have had customers delay planned installations or look to renegotiate power purchase agreements to improve project returns based on various rate

environments. For example, in anticipation of interest rate reductions and more favorable project financing conditions later in 2024, some customers delayed installations. While the Federal Reserve began lowering interest rates in the second half of 2024, there are varying outlooks on whether additional rate cuts may occur. Customers must weigh this uncertainty in conjunction with other macroeconomic factors when assessing the returns and timing for relevant projects.

•Availability of necessary equipment. We have a broad portfolio of customer relationships including presence with most Tier 1 utilities in the U.S. Each utility has unique specifications for access to its grid, which is generally not consistent across the industry. As the supply of renewables projects has increased, shortages and long lead-times in the supply of switches, transformers and high voltage breakers used in the interconnection of utility scale
