Strategic Initiatives/Growth Strategies
The Company continues to execute a comprehensive set of business objectives aimed at improving profitability, streamlining processes, strengthening the business and focusing on achieving growth in higher-return product lines. Key elements of these objectives and other initiatives are highlighted below.
Sustained profitability
The Company continues to improve profitability through the review of its customer and product portfolio. To date, this has resulted in strategic price increases in certain areas of the business, along with product redesign and the re-sourcing of certain components, to support improved margins. This program is a multi-year effort and will entail a strategic assessment of certain
areas in which profitability does not meet established thresholds. The Company also continues to transform its manufacturing operations through the ongoing adoption of lean, agile and flexible lines, which provides opportunities for improved efficiency, margins and profitability, particularly as volume and sales increase. The Company has also been investing heavily in the expansion of its heavy-duty engine product line, which has historically provided better margins, particularly through its collaboration with Weichai America Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weichai Power Co., Ltd. (HK2338, 000338.SZ) (herein collectively referred to as “Weichai”). Weichai is the beneficial owner of 51.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Warranty expense mitigation efforts
The Company continues to limit its warranty expense through various mitigation efforts. As part of this, the Company is developing reimbursement and commercial remedies from key suppliers for components supplied by third parties, where applicable, at the same time ensuring any contractual obligations with customers include more favorable warranty terms for the Company wherever possible. Also, the Company continues to evaluate and improve its engineering validation and reliability programs for products and applications as well as make investments in technology to further enhance its tools and processes.
Streamlining of business processes and footprint rationalization
The Company has an ongoing program to review and identify cost reduction opportunities throughout the organization while simultaneously planning for strategic growth. As part of this program, the Company has adopted tighter controls over spending and centralized certain business processes.
Strengthen the business through the optimization of business systems and technology
The Company is working to strengthen its business through the optimization of its business systems and technology to support the strengthening of internal controls, improve processes, drive greater operational efficiencies and provide better and timelier decision making across the organization. The Company also continues to work on the enhancement and optimization of its Enterprise Resource Planning system and associated workflows.
Grow the business in the highest return on investment areas
The Company has been a major participant in the power systems market for many years as a supplier to several of the world’s leading power generation companies and through its large custom genset enclosure business. Continuing to build on its broad product offering, the Company received EPA certification for its 32L and 40L heavy-duty engines in 2018 and for its 53L heavy-duty engines in 2019. These heavy-duty engines provide a natural-gas-fueled power range from 500 kilowatt-electric (“kWe”) to 1.25 megawatt (“MW”), allowing the Company to serve a greater portion of the demand response, microgrid, combined heat and power, and oil and gas markets. Additionally, in 2019, the EPA granted emergency standby certification for certain diesel engines sold by the Company, which are largely designed for emergency use in critical infrastructure applications. Also, the engines can handle mission critical customer operations in the health care, data center, hospitality and transportation industries. In addition to dedicating significant R&D resources within the power systems end market, the Company has also strategically invested in expanding its management, sales and operations staff to support these efforts. The Company’s heavy-duty engines have historically provided better margins.

deep industry experience of its engineering and new-product development teams, the Company is continuing to take steps to broaden the range of its power system product offerings, including engine classes, power ratings and the OEM and direct user market categories into which it supplies products. The Company plans to capitalize on its technologically sophisticated, in-house design, prototyping, testing and application engineering capabilities to further refine its superior power system technology. Due to increasing demand for new energy and latest market trends, the Company continues to offer battery packs for its industrial market.
Leverage the Company’s relationship with Weichai
In March 2017, the Company executed a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Weichai America Corp. Under the terms of the SPA, Weichai invested $60.0 million in the Company (the “Weichai Transactions”) by purchasing a combination of newly issued Common Stock and preferred stock, par value $0.001 (the “Preferred Stock”), as well as a stock purchase warrant, which significantly strengthened the Company’s financial condition and contributed to the extinguishment of its $60.0 million term loan in 2017. Weichai has also provided support for PSI’s business and operations through various shareholder loan agreements as described in Part II, Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company and Weichai also entered into a strategic collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) under which they have been working together to accelerate market opportunities for each company’s respective product lines across various geographic and end-user markets. On March 22, 2023, the Collaboration Agreement was extended for an additional term of three years.
The Collaboration Agreement provides the Company with strategic benefits and opportunities, including the ability to leverage Weichai’s strengths and capabilities in R&D, manufacturing, procurement and distribution and its widespread sales channels in China and other emerging markets. This collaboration has enabled the Company to broaden its existing product portfolio, improve material quality, decrease costs, accelerate the development of new products and bring them to market, and expand access and exposure to new markets.
Also, through the Company’s relationship with Weichai, it has access to Weichai’s ‘New Energy’ product portfolio and is exploring product diversification opportunities in the areas of battery storage and electrification.
Expand global business
Through the expansion of its product lineup and the entry into new markets, the Company has a history of growing its product offerings internationally beyond North America. The Company sees long-term opportunity in continuing to grow its business worldwide with further R&D investment including new-product development and offerings. In January 2022, PSI and Société Internationale des Moteurs Baudouin (“Baudouin”), a subsidiary of Weichai, entered into an international distribution and sales agreement which enables Baudouin to bring PSI’s power systems line of products into the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets, which resulted in $1.1 million of sales during the year ended December 31, 2024. Beginning January 2024, this agreement automatically extends for additional one-year terms unless notice is given by one of the parties. In addition to sales, Baudouin will manage service, support, warranty claims, and technical requests. The Company believes that this agreement will continue to offer enhanced global growth opportunities, particularly in Europe.
Sales and Marketing
The Company employs a direct sales and marketing approach to maintain maximum interface with and service support for its OEM customers. This direct interface incorporates the corporate internal technical sales representatives. The Company complements its direct OEM relationships with a localized, independent sales and product support organization. This localized sales and support organization provides the necessary knowledge of local customs and requirements while also delivering immediate sales assistance and customer support.
The Company has invested in and is focused on capturing aftermarket sales of the value-added components that are included in its power systems. With a significant portion of the selling prices of the Company’s power systems coming from value-added components, this is a large, continuing growth opportunity for its aftermarket business.
Customers
The Company’s customers primarily include global OEMs and direct end-users across a wide range of applications that demand high product quality, best-in-class engineering support and on-time delivery. Within several applications for which the Company provides solutions, it maintains supplier relationships with customers, which are often among the largest in that category.
The Company’s largest customer represented 11% of consolidated net sales in 2024. The largest customer changes from time to time as a result of various factors, including prevailing market conditions, customers’ strategies and inventory of the Company’s power systems.
Competition
Each of the Company’s end markets have a variety of competitors, including engine manufacturers, independent suppliers and distributors of engines, fuel systems and component providers, manufacturers of power generation equipment, engine packagers and integrators, and the in-house operations of certain OEMs, some of which have longer operating histories, strong brand recognition and significantly greater financial and marketing resources.
Notwithstanding significant competition, the Company believes that the following factors provide it with a differentiated value proposition that allows the Company to compete effectively:
•fuel-agnostic strategy;

•customer support and service.
Manufacturing
The Company manufactures and assembles its products at facilities in suburban Chicago, Illinois, as well as in Darien and Beloit, Wisconsin, and customizes its power systems to meet specific requirements of OEM applications and the needs of its OEM customers. The Company has invested in precision computer numerical control (“CNC”) machining equipment to finish its internally designed engine blocks and cylinder heads, which are cast by various suppliers. The manufacturing lines in the Company’s production facilities are technologically sophisticated, lean, agile and flexible, and the Company allocates production capacity on its mixed model manufacturing lines to accommodate the demand levels and product mix required by its OEM customers.
The Company focuses on safety, people, quality, on-time delivery, cost and environment in its manufacturing operations. The Company is certified to the most recent International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) standard, ISO 9001: 2015. The ISO 9000 family of quality management standards, which must be met in order to become ISO certified, is designed to help organizations monitor and improve the quality and delivery of their products and/or services to their customers. The Company uses tools such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, 80/20, Value Stream Mapping and other manufacturing engineering strategies to help manage its business, build quality, drive performance and continually improve culture within the manufacturing operations’ teams. The Company also uses a customer relationship management database to help collect customer feedback and to track overall quality performance at its OEM customers. Structured staff training is a constant priority and includes closed-loop quality monitoring and feedback systems.
Research, Development and Engineering
The Company’s research, development and engineering programs are focused on new product development and enhancements to current products, in addition to performance and quality improvements across its product lines. Its efforts are market driven, with the sales team identifying and defining market requirements and trends and its engineering and new-product development groups reviewing existing power system portfolios and developing new solutions that build upon the technology within that portfolio.
The Company’s product and application development engineering teams include in-house mechanical and electrical engineering functions, including advanced engine modeling, simulation, analysis and testing. Internal resources are supplemented with engineering outsourcing relationships for design, development and product testing. In addition to these engineering outsourcing relationships, the Company benefits from the design, development and testing capabilities of its supplier base. The Company staffs its engineering support activities associated with released product and component sourcing programs with dedicated internal engineering personnel.
Research, development and engineering expenditures include salaries, contractor fees, building costs, utilities, testing, information technology and administrative expenses and are expensed, net of contract reimbursements, when incurred. From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with its customers to fund a portion of the research, development and engineering costs of a particular project. These reimbursements are accounted for as a reduction of the related research,
development and engineering expenditure. The Company’s net research, development and engineering expenditures for 2024 and 2023 were $20.1 million and $19.5 million, respectively.
Supplier Relationships
In addition to producing its own engines, the Company has established relationships with its suppliers for certain engines that are integrated into the Company’s comprehensive power systems, the most significant of which are HD Hyundai Infracore Co., LTD (“HD Hyundai”), a subsidiary of HD Hyundai, Shenyang Packson Technology Co., LTD. (“SPY”), Chongqing Duchengrongfeng Mechanic Manufacture Co., Ltd (“CDM”) and Weichai. The Company also sources other power system components and coordinates design efforts with third-party suppliers for some of its key components. In general, the prices at which the Company purchases engines, components and other raw materials are based on market factors, including the prices offered by other suppliers operating in the same market and the prevailing market prices of raw materials.
The Company aggregates product sourcing efforts across its large and diverse OEM customer base and across industry categories, capitalizing on volume, economies of scale and global supply opportunities. The Company’s customers benefit from the aggregation of its global sourcing, procurement, and assembly and services, obtaining cost benefits that they might not obtain if they were to rely on their own internal resources, capabilities and more limited demand requirements. Through this process, customers are able to streamline their supply base by consolidating procurement and assembly efforts down to a single part number product supplied by the Company. The Company delivers this assembly to its customers’ production lines ready to install into the customers’ product.
The Company is party to a nonexclusive supply agreement with HD Hyundai, under which it purchases and distributes specified HD Hyundai engines within a territory consisting of the United States, Canada and Mexico with no minimum product purchase commitments. Beginning in 2024, the supply agreement automatically extends for additional one-year terms unless a notice of termination is provided by either party six months prior to the scheduled expiration.
In November 2023, the Company entered into a supply agreement with CDM, for the exclusive purchase and distribution of engines in North and South America, in the industrial and power system markets. The Company entered into this supply agreement to source certain engines previously supplied by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Motors Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“SAME”), whose ability to supply product was suspended because of the intensified enforcement and expansion of the UFLPA near the end of 2023. Beginning December 2024, the supply agreement automatically extends for additional one-year terms unless a notice of termination is provided by either party six months prior to scheduled expiration.
In November 2023, the Company also entered into a supply agreement with SPY, for the exclusive purchase and distribution of engines in North and South America, in the industrial and power system markets. The Company entered into this supply agreement to source certain engines previously supplied by SAME, whose ability to supply product was suspended because of the intensified enforcement and expansion of the UFLPA near the end of 2023. Beginning December 2024, the supply agreement automatically extends for additional one-year terms unless a notice of termination is provided by either party six months prior to scheduled expiration.
Product Support
The Company’s dedicated team of product and application engineers enables it to deliver high-quality, responsive technical support to its OEM and end-user customers. The Company provides technical support and training to its customers, including in-plant training and support through web and phone-based field service. The Company further supports its customers by engaging regional providers to perform warranty services and offer support for its power systems. The Company also leverages its technical resources to provide service and support functions for its power systems sold to OEM customers.
Backlog
Backlog generally is not considered a significant factor in the Company’s business.
Employees and Human Capital
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s workforce consisted of approximately 700 full-time employees. None of the members of the Company’s workforce are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Company values include focusing on developing and maintaining a world class workforce through personal accountability, teamwork, customer service and innovation. The Company monitors and manages attrition. It approves, through its human resources department, the replacement of key positions that it believes are critical to sustaining improved business performance and analyzes departure data to continually improve upon the experience of employees. Turnover for salaried employees in 2024 was approximately 9.5%.The Company’s talent management and succession planning process includes the identification of key
positions based on current and future business strategies, the identification of potential successors, and a plan for talent development.
The Company focuses on attracting and retaining the best employees by providing market competitive pay and benefits. This ensures sustainability of the organization. The Company’s short-term and long-term incentive plans are designed to provide a variable pay opportunity to reward the attainment of key financial and operational goals as well as shareholder value creation. In addition to the base and variable pay plans, the Company offers employees other benefits including medical, paid-time off, and retirement savings plans.
Health and safety are also a key priority, as the Company is committed to removing conditions that cause personal injury or occupational illness. Employees participate in training sessions focused on these topics and are encouraged to promote behaviors that protect others from risk of injury. The Company sets annual targets for its Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) and Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (“DART”) and regularly reviews these metrics. For 2024, the Company achieved an overall TRIR of 4.418, meaning that for every 100 employees, 0.40 employees incurred an injury that resulted in recordable medical treatment. The DART was 3.96 in 2024, meaning that for every 100 employees, 0.039 individuals experienced an incident that resulted in days away from work or restricted work tasks.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s reporting facilities follow the guidelines required for its federally enforceable state operating permits (FESOP) used with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Type-B permit guidelines. This includes monitoring the emissions produced from these locations as part of the requirements within the states where PSI operates. A majority of PSI's current production utilizes traditional utility supply. PSI’s production processes that require product testing rely on liquid propane and natural gas fuels, which produce lower emissions than diesel and gasoline.
The Company is committed to producing high quality products that provide reduced emissions and to operating its facilities in a manner that mitigates their impact on the environment.
For the full year ended 2024, approximately 76% of the engines sold run on either propane or natural gas. Also, the Company has taken the following steps to enhance its sustainability:
•updated most of the interior/exterior lighting in its buildings to LED lighting. As lamps or fixtures burn out or require replacement, they are converted to LED (if not already) as a measure of energy conservation;
•recycling of certain materials including cardboard, metal, wood scrap, used oil and antifreeze, and metal processing coolants and lubricants reclamation;
•reduced loaded hot testing of large displacement engines due to quality improvements (reduces noise, emissions and fuel consumption)
The Company intends to continue exploring additional avenues for greater sustainability through new product development and the exploration of additional operational opportunities.
Impact of Government Regulation
The Company’s power systems are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing exhaust emissions, evaporative emissions, greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and noise. The Company’s power systems are subject to compliance with regulatory standards imposed by the EPA, state regulatory agencies in the United States, including CARB, and other regulatory agencies around the world. Although as of January 1, 2024, the Company no longer sells engines into the on-road market, because its engines are still sold into the off-road market, the Company must ensure certification to the specific regulations within the applicable statutory segment. For products sold into the U.S. market, both EPA and CARB have imposed specific regulations on engines used in off-road equipment. These regulations generally serve to restrict exhaust emissions, with a primary focus on oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Exhaust emission regulations for engines used in off-road industrial and power generation equipment vary based upon the use of the equipment into which the engine is incorporated (such as stationary power generation or mobile off-highway industrial equipment) and the type of fuel used to drive the power system. The Company continues to make significant investments into the necessary intellectual property that supports full compliance of the Company’s engines now and into the foreseeable future.
The first EPA emissions regulations adopted for diesel engines, known as Tier 1, applied to diesel engines used in mobile off-highway applications in the U.S., and similar standards for diesel engines, known as Stage I regulations, were implemented thereafter in the EU. The EPA and applicable agencies in the EU have continued to develop emissions regulations for diesel engines in the U.S. and the EU, respectively, and have adopted more restrictive standards. The current diesel engine emission requirements in the U.S are known as Tier 4 and are applicable to off-road diesel engines used in industrial equipment. Similarly, the EU has adopted more restrictive standards under its Stage V regulations. Tier 4 and Stage V regulations call for reductions in levels of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen.
The initial and ongoing certification requirements vary by power system application and market segment. Each application must undergo a series of rigorous and demanding tests to demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards, including useful life, zero hours and durability testing. Once a power system is certified, regulatory agencies impose ongoing compliance requirements, which include testing newly produced power systems on a regular quarterly schedule to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable regulations. In addition, there are field audit requirements, which require the removal of power systems from service at specified stages of their useful lives to perform confirmatory exhaust emissions testing and/or on-board diagnostic (“OBD”) system audits and testing. All of the Company’s emission-certified power systems meet existing exhaust emission standards of the EPA and CARB. Failure to comply with these standards could result in materially adverse effects on the Company’s future financial results.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The Company’s business and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those listed below, many of which are not within the Company’s control, which may cause actual financial performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. New risks may emerge at any time, and the Company cannot predict those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect its results of operations.
Geopolitical Factors
The Company utilizes a global supply chain to source products, including engines, components and materials, which may subject it to tariffs, including U.S. tariffs imposed on imports from China. The Company also sells its products on a global basis, and therefore its export sales could be impacted by tariffs.
Several of the Company’s products are sourced internationally, including from China, where the U.S. has imposed tariffs on specified products imported from China. These tariffs have an impact on the Company’s material costs and have the potential to have an even greater impact, depending on the outcome of future trade negotiations and policies. The Company is evaluating U.S. government policy, which is subject to change in the current negotiating environment, pricing, its supply chain and its operational strategies to mitigate the impact of these tariffs; however, there can be no assurances that any mitigation strategies employed will remain available under government policy or that the Company will be able to offset tariff-related costs or maintain competitive pricing of its products. Further, the imposition of tariffs on imports from China and other countries have the potential to materially and adversely impact the Company’s sales, profitability and future product launches. U.S. government has indicated its intent to adopt a new approach to trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. For example, in early 2025, President Donald Trump signed executive orders imposing various tariffs on certain imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, and stated his intent to impose tariffs on any country that imposes tariffs on U.S. products. Certain products that we buy from our suppliers are, and may in the future be, subject to these tariffs, which could increase our manufacturing costs. Additionally, the tariffs imposed by the U.S. have resulted, and may in the future result, in threatened and actual retaliatory tariffs by other countries against U.S. exports. The Company also sells its products on a global basis; and, therefore, if such retaliatory tariffs are imposed on exports of the Company’s products, this could make our exported products less competitive than products of our competitors who are not subject to such retaliatory tariffs. Any material reduction in sales may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Liquidity and Indebtedness
The Company’s management has concluded as of the filing of this 2024 Annual Report that, due to uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to extend or refinance its current debt agreements, substantial doubt exists as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans to alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may not be successful, and it may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. In August 2024, the Company refinanced its debt through a new Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), with Standard Chartered Bank (“Standard Chartered”) and two other lenders. Additionally, also in August 2024, the Company entered into a new Shareholder’s Loan Agreement (the “SLA”) with Weichai. The new Revolving Credit Agreement and the new SLA will mature on August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2025, respectively, and have borrowing capacity of $120.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $120.0 million of total borrowings outstanding under its debt agreements.
Without additional financing, the Company anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay amounts owed under its existing debt arrangements as they become due. To provide the Company with a more permanent source of liquidity, management plans to seek an extension and amendment and/or replacement of its existing debt agreements or seek additional liquidity from its current or other lenders before the maturity dates in 2025. There can be no assurance that
the Company’s management will be able to successfully complete an extension and amendment of its existing debt agreements or obtain new financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Company’s efforts to address these issues.
Furthermore, if the Company cannot raise capital on acceptable terms, it may not, among other things, be able to do the following:
•continue to expand the Company’s research and product investments and sales and marketing organization;
•expand operations both organically and through acquisitions; and
•respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
The Company’s management has concluded that, due to uncertainties surrounding the Company’s future ability to refinance, extend and amend, or repay its outstanding indebtedness under its existing debt arrangements and other requirements under the Revolving Credit Agreement and other outstanding debt, in the future, substantial doubt exists as to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company’s plans to alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may not be successful, and it may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on generating profitable operating results, having sufficient liquidity, maintaining compliance with the covenants and other requirements under the new Revolving Credit Agreement and the new SLA, in the future, and extending and amending, refinancing or repaying the indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing debt arrangements.
The Company has a significant amount of indebtedness and is highly leveraged. Its existing debt or any potential new debt could adversely affect its business and growth prospects.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total debt obligations, including indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement and SLA was $120.2 million. The Company’s debt arrangements contain and may contain in the future certain requirements, including specific financial and other covenants or restrictions. The failure or the inability to meet such obligations under existing debt or any new debt could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition. In addition, the Company’s debt obligations could make it more vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions and could limit its flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in its business and the industries in which it operates. The Company’s indebtedness and the cash flow needed to satisfy its debt obligations and the covenants contained in current and potential future debt agreements could have important consequences, including the following:
•limiting funds available for borrowing through the imposition of availability blocks;
•limiting funds otherwise available for financing capital expenditures by requiring dedication of a portion of cash flows from operating activities to the repayment of debt and the interest on such debt;
•limiting the ability to incur additional indebtedness;
•limiting the ability to capitalize on significant business opportunities, including mergers, acquisitions and other strategic transactions;
•making the Company more vulnerable to rising interest rates or higher interest rates; and
•making the Company more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in its business.
The Company’s new Revolving Credit Agreement places limitations on its ability to make acquisitions and restricts its ability to incur additional indebtedness, while the SLA places limitations or restrictions on the Company’s usage of borrowed funds. Any future failure by the Company to comply with the financial covenants set forth under the Company’s debt agreements, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of debt maturities or prevent the Company from accessing availability of funds under the SLA. If the maturity of the indebtedness is accelerated, the Company may not have sufficient cash resources, or have the ability to obtain financing through alternative resources, to satisfy its debt and other obligations, and the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.
Financial Condition, Results of Operations, and Cash Flows
The Company is subject to price increases in some of the key components in its power systems.
The prices of some of the key components of the Company’s power systems are subject to fluctuation due to market forces, including changes in the costs of raw materials incorporated into these components. Such price increases occur from time to
time due to increases in overall inflation, spot shortages of commodities, increases in labor costs or longer-term shortages due to market forces. In particular, the prices of certain precious metals, such as palladium and rhodium, used in emissions-control systems fluctuate frequently and often significantly. Substantial increases in the prices of raw materials used in components that the Company sources from suppliers may result in increased prices charged by suppliers. If the Company incurs price increases from suppliers for key components in its power systems, production costs will increase, and given competitive market conditions, or contractual limitations, the Company may not be able to pass all or any of those cost increases on to OEM customers in the form of higher sales prices. To the extent that its competitors do not suffer comparable component cost increases, the Company may have even greater difficulty passing along price increases, and the Company’s competitive position may be harmed. As a result, increases in costs of key components may adversely affect the Company’s margins and otherwise adversely affect its results of operations.
Many of the Company’s power systems involve long and variable design and sales cycles.
The design and sales cycle for customized power systems, from initial contact with potential OEM customers to the commencement of shipments, may be lengthy. Customers generally consider a wide range of solutions before making a decision to purchase power systems. Before an OEM commits to purchase power systems, they often require a significant technical review, assessment of competitive products and approval at a number of management levels within their organization. During the time the Company’s customers are evaluating its products, the Company may incur substantial sales and marketing, engineering, and research and development expenses to customize the power systems to the customer’s needs.
Warranty, Safety Standards, and Emissions
The Company could suffer warranty claims or be subject to product liability claims, both of which could materially adversely affect its business.
The Company’s power systems are sophisticated and complex, and the success of the power systems is dependent, in part, upon the quality and performance of key components, such as engines, fuel systems, generators, breakers, and complex electrical components and associated software. The Company may incur liabilities for warranty claims because of defective products or components, including claims arising from defective products or components provided by its suppliers that are integrated into its power systems.
The provisions the Company makes for warranty accruals may not be sufficient, or it may be unable to rely on a warranty provided by a third-party manufacturer or recover costs incurred associated with defective components or products provided by its suppliers. The Company may recognize additional expenses because of warranty claims in excess of its current expectations. Such warranty claims may necessitate a redesign, re-specification, a change in manufacturing processes and/or a recall of its power systems, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and on existing or future sales of its power systems and other products. Even in the absence of any warranty claims, a product deficiency such as a manufacturing defect or a safety issue may necessitate a product recall, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and on existing or future sales.
The Company is exposed to potential product liability claims that are inherent to natural gas, propane, gasoline and diesel and products that use these fuels. Natural gas, propane, diesel and gasoline are flammable and are potentially dangerous products. Any accidents involving the Company’s power systems could materially impede widespread market acceptance and demand for its power systems. In addition, the Company may be subject to a claim by end-users of its OEM customers’ products or others alleging that they have suffered property damage, personal injury or death because its power systems or the products of its customers into which its power systems are integrated did not perform adequately. Such a claim could be made whether or not the Company’s power systems perform adequately under the circumstances. From time to time, the Company may be subject to product liability claims in the ordinary course of business, and it carries a limited amount of product liability insurance for this purpose. However, current insurance policies may not provide sufficient or any coverage for such claims, and the Company cannot predict whether it will be able to maintain insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms.
The Company and its products are subject to numerous environmental and regulatory policies, including emission and fuel economy rules.
The Company’s business is affected by government environmental policies, mandates and regulations around the world, most significantly with respect to emission standards in the United States. Examples of such regulations include those that (i) restrict the sale of power systems that do not meet emission standards and (ii) impose penalties on sellers of noncompliant power systems.
The Company generally must obtain product certification from both the EPA and the CARB to sell its products in the United States. The Company may attempt to expand sales of its certified power systems to OEMs that sell their products in other countries, which may also have stringent emissions requirements. Accordingly, future sales of the Company’s products will depend upon its products being certified to meet the existing and future air quality and energy standards imposed by the relevant regulatory agencies. While the Company incurs significant research and development costs to ensure that its products
comply with emission standards and meet certification requirements in the regions in which its products are sold, the Company cannot provide assurance that its products will continue to meet those standards. The failure to comply with certification requirements would not only adversely affect future sales but could result in the recall of products or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
The adoption of new, more stringent and burdensome government emissions regulations, whether at the foreign, federal, state or local level, in markets in which the Company supplies power systems may require modification of emission certification and other manufacturing processes for its power systems. The Company might incur additional and/or unanticipated expenses in meeting future compliance requirements, and it may be required to increase its research and product development expenditures. Increases in such costs and expenses could necessitate increases in the prices the Company charges for its power systems, which could adversely affect demand for such power systems. There are no assurances that the Company will have adequate financial or technical resources in the future to maintain compliance with government emissions standards.
Supply Chain
The Company is dependent on certain key third-party suppliers, and the partial or complete loss of one of these key suppliers, or the failure to find replacement suppliers or manufacturers in a timely manner, could result in supply shortages.
The Company sources engines, components and replacement parts used in the assembly of its power systems and aftermarket sales from various third-party suppliers. Much of the technology incorporated into the components that the Company sources from a limited number of suppliers is technologically sophisticated, and the Company does not believe that its competitors have access to some of this sophisticated technology in the components they are able to source. If the Company’s competitors were to gain access to these suppliers’ technology or if the Company’s relationships with these suppliers were to change adversely, the Company’s business could be harmed. The viability of certain key third-party suppliers, or the exiting by certain suppliers of certain business lines, could require the Company to find other suppliers for materials or components. Some components cannot be quickly or inexpensively re-sourced to another supplier due to long lead times and contractual commitments that might be required by another supplier in order to provide the components or materials. Any extended delay in receiving engines or other critical components, or the inability of third-party suppliers to meet the Company’s quality, quantity or cost requirements, could impair or prohibit the Company’s ability to deliver products to its OEM customers.
Disruptions arising from compliance with certain importation and trade laws and regulations, including those governing goods shipped from certain regions in China, have, and in the future may, cause supply chain interruptions and raw material shortages.
We are subject to various laws and regulations that affect our ability to obtain components and materials. On December 23, 2021, the UFLPA became law in the United States. The UFLPA, among other matters, prohibits the import of goods from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. In July 2023, the Company began experiencing delays in the imports of raw materials directly related to the UFLPA. Near the end of 2023, the importing of certain forklift products was suspended because of the intensified enforcement and expansion of the UFLPA and continued through the third quarter of 2024. In 2024, the Company re-sourced these products from CDM and SPY in place of SAME while maintaining the Company’s high-quality standards. Additionally, with the ongoing enforcement and expansion of the UFLPA, the Company has increased the vetting of new and existing vendors with links to the applicable areas to mitigate the likelihood of future disruption of imports.
Trade law and regulation compliance disruptions could occur again in the future and could result in other delays of importing raw materials needed to fulfill future orders while the Company works to comply with trade laws and regulations, including the UFLPA.
Growth and Profitability
The market for alternative-fueled, spark-ignited power systems may not continue to develop as expected.
The continued market acceptance and growth of the market for efficient alternative-fueled, spark-ignited power systems, including natural gas, propane and gasoline, is a key tenet of the Company’s growth strategy. The impact of diesel emission regulations is expected to increase the cost and complexity of diesel power systems, but this may not materialize to the expected extent or at all. Also, customers, or potential customers, may not substitute natural gas, propane and gasoline-powered power systems for diesel power systems in response to these regulations. In addition, to the extent that diesel power system manufacturers develop the ability to design and produce emission-compliant diesel power systems that are more competitive than the Company’s alternative-fueled power systems, customers and potential customers may be less likely to substitute alternative-fueled power systems for diesel power systems. Furthermore, if alternative-fueled power systems are substituted for diesel power systems, there can be no assurance that the Company’s power systems would capture any portion of the potential market increase. If the industrial OEM market generally, or more specifically any of the OEM categories that represent a significant portion of the Company’s business or in which it anticipates significant growth opportunities for its power systems, fails to develop or develops more slowly than the Company anticipates, its business could be materially adversely affected.
Lastly, the Company also faces competition from other forms of power systems, including electrification and fuel cells, which could limit its ability to grow in the future.
The Company may be impacted by volatility of oil and gas prices and/or fuel price differentials.
The prices of various fuel alternatives are subject to fluctuation, based upon many factors, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand, changes in resource base, pipeline transportation capacity for natural gas, refining capacity for crude oil, and government tariff excise, and fuel tax policies. The price differential among various fuel alternatives can impact OEMs and their decisions on which, if any, power systems they purchase from the Company. Furthermore, if OEMs decide to purchase the Company’s power systems, relative fuel prices may affect which power systems they purchase, and the margins can vary significantly among the Company’s various power systems.
The Company may be affected by the price of oil and gas. For example, when the price of oil declines, oil becomes a more favorable source of fuel in the short term, and alternative fuel and energy producers suffer as a result. This volatility, as with any commodity, will occur from time to time and may adversely affect the Company’s business.
Also, a significant portion of the Company’s sales and profitability has historically been derived from sales of products that are used in the oil and gas industry, primarily in support of operating wells. Various factors, such as capital allocation strategies, oil pricing, rig counts, shifts in energy sources, and governments policies, among others, could lead oil and gas producers to curtail or limit capital expenditures. In addition, oil and gas producers may cease or suspend production at well sites that have or are likely to become unprofitable. As a result, sales of the Company’s products could be severely impacted during periods of a prolonged depression in energy prices, rig counts and capital expenditures which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. The Company estimates that as much as approximately $105.5 million and $72.1 million of its 2024 and 2023 net sales, respectively, were attributable to the sale of products used within the oil and gas industry. The potential impact of future disruptions, continued economic uncertainty, and depressed crude oil prices and low rig count levels may have a significant adverse impact that may result in the recognition of material impairments or other related charges.
The introduction of new products, including new engines that the Company develops, and the continued expansion of products may not succeed or achieve widespread acceptance.
The Company’s growth depends on its ability to develop and/or acquire new products and/or refine existing products and power system technology, to complement and enhance the breadth of its power system offerings with respect to engine class and the OEM market categories into which the Company supplies its products. The Company will generally seek to develop or acquire new products, or enhance existing products and power system technology, if it believes such acquisitions or enhancements will provide significant additional sales and favorable profit margins. However, the Company cannot know beforehand whether any new or enhanced products will successfully penetrate target markets. There can be no assurance that newly developed or acquired products will perform as well as the Company expects, or that such products will gain widespread adoption among the Company’s customers.
Additionally, there are greater design and operational risks associated with new products. The inability of the Company’s suppliers to produce technologically sophisticated components for new engines and power systems, the discovery of any product or process defects or failures associated with production of any new products, and any related product returns could each have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its results of operations. If new products that the Company expends significant resources to develop or acquire are not successful or do not obtain, or retain, required certifications, or such products do not achieve the required production volume and scale, its business could be adversely affected.
The Company’s OEM customers may not continue to outsource their power system needs.
The purchasers of the Company’s power systems are OEMs that manufacture a wide range of applications and equipment that include standby and prime power generation, demand response, microgrid, combined heat and power, utility power, arbor equipment, material handling (including forklifts), agricultural and turf, construction, pumps and irrigation, compressors, and utility vehicles. As a result of the significant resources and expertise required to develop and manufacture emission-certified power systems, certain of these customers have historically chosen to outsource production of power systems to the Company. To a significant extent, the Company depends on OEMs continuing to outsource design and production of power systems, power system components and subsystems. OEM customers may not continue to outsource as much or any of their power system production in the future. Increased levels of OEM vertical integration could result from a number of factors, such as shifts in the Company’s customers’ business strategies, acquisition by a customer of a power system manufacturer or the emergence of low-cost production opportunities in foreign countries. Any number of these factors could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.
Human Capital
The failure to attract, retain and motivate a highly qualified workforce and high functioning management team could, in the future, affect the Company’s business results.
The Company’s success depends on its ability to attract, retain and motivate a highly qualified workforce and high functioning management team. Failure to ensure that the Company has the depth and breadth of management and personnel with the necessary skill set and experience could impede its ability to deliver growth objectives and execute its operational strategy. Competition for qualified employees among companies that rely heavily upon engineering and technology is at times intense, and the loss of qualified employees could hinder the Company’s ability to conduct research activities successfully and develop marketable products. As the Company continues to expand, it will need to promote and hire additional staff, and, as a result of increased compensation and benefit mandates, it may be difficult to attract or retain such individuals without incurring significant additional costs.
Common Stock Ownership and Stockholder Influence
A decrease in stock price may have an unfavorable impact on our status on the Nasdaq and liquidity.
The Company’s stock is newly traded on Nasdaq. If we are not able to comply with the applicable listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq. Our share price may be volatile, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses. The payment of dividends is currently restricted by the Company’s short-term credit facility. The Company intends to retain its future earnings to support operations, to finance expansion and reduce debt.
Ownership of the Company’s stock is concentrated with Weichai and the founder of the Company, and therefore other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters is limited.
As of March 17 2025, Weichai beneficially owned 51.1% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, Gary S. Winemaster, the Company’s founder, former Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), former Chief Executive Officer, President and nonexecutive Chief Strategy Officer, beneficially owned approximately 14.4% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each of these stockholders, by virtue of their significant equity ownership in the Company, may be able to significantly influence, and, in the case of Weichai, control the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger or other significant corporate transactions. The interests of these stockholders may not coincide with the interests of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company that other stockholders may view as beneficial. Weichai alone owns a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and, therefore, it possesses voting control over the Company sufficient to prevent any change of control from occurring.
Weichai maintains certain rights through its Investor Rights Agreement with the Company.
Weichai entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with the Company upon execution of the SPA. The Rights Agreement provides Weichai with majority representation on the Company’s Board and management representation rights. Weichai currently has four representatives on the Board which constitutes the majority of the directors serving on the Board. According to the Rights Agreement, during any period when the Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, it will take such measures as to avail itself of the “controlled company” exemptions available under Rule 5615 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules of Rules 5605(b), (d) and (e). With Weichai being the majority owner of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, Weichai is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholders’ approval, including, among other matters, the election of the Directors, amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing
a change of control of the Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions impractical without the support of Weichai.
Cyber Risk Factors
The Company is exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, potential security breaches or other disruptions to its information technology systems and data security.
The Company relies on its information technology systems and networks in connection with many of its business activities. The Company’s operations routinely involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information pertaining to its business, customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and other sensitive matters. Cyber incidents could materially disrupt operational systems, result in loss of trade secrets or other proprietary or competitively sensitive information, compromise personally identifiable information regarding customers or employees, and jeopardize the security of the Company’s facilities. A cyber incident could be caused by malicious outsiders using sophisticated methods to circumvent firewalls, encryption and other security defenses. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, the Company may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. Information technology security threats, including security breaches, computer malware and other cyber-attacks, are increasing in both frequency and sophistication and could create financial liability, subject the Company to legal or regulatory sanctions, or damage its reputation with customers, dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders. The Company continuously seeks to maintain a robust program of information security and controls, but the impact of a material information technology event could have a material adverse effect on its reputation and results of operations.
General Risk Factors
Adverse global and regional economic conditions may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company has international operations with sales outside the U.S. representing 13% of the Company’s total net sales. Further, the Company’s global supply chain is large and complex, and a majority of the Company’s supplier facilities, are located outside the U.S. As a result, the Company’s operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations may materially and adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and services. In addition, spending may be materially and adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, energy shortages and cost increases, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.
Also, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions may have a significant impact on the Company’s suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, and other channel partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain credit to finance operations and purchases of the Company’s products; and insolvency.
A downturn in the economic environment may also lead to increased credit and collectability risk on the Company’s trade receivables; the failure of financial institutions (including those that the Company currently, or could potentially, transact with or those that currently, or could in the future, provide services to the Company); limitations on the Company’s ability to issue new debt; reduced liquidity; and declines in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. These and other economic factors may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
The Company is exposed to political, economic and other risks, in addition to various laws and regulations that arise from operating a multinational business.
The Company sells products internationally and sources a significant amount of materials from suppliers outside of the U.S. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the political, economic and other risks that are inherent in operating a multinational company, including risks related to the following:
•general economic conditions;
•the imposition of tariffs and other import or export barriers, which could potentially disrupt the Company’s existing supply chains and impose additional costs on the Company’s business;
•trade and technology protection measures;
•compliance with regulations governing import and export activities;
•import and export duties and restrictions;
•currency fluctuations and exchange restrictions;
•transportation delays and interruptions;
•political and economic instability;
•terrorist activities;
•acts of war, including the events currently underway in Ukraine and Israel, which could lead to volatility in commodity availability and pricing, access to current or new markets, and general overall market volatility and weakness, among other factors;
•labor unrest;
•natural disasters; and
•public health concerns including the potential negative impacts to suppliers, customers or the Company’s business.
Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
Also, the Company is subject to, and may become subject to, various state, federal and international laws and regulations governing its business, environmental, labor and trade practices. These laws and regulations, particularly those applicable to the Company’s international operations, are or may be complex, extensive and subject to change. The Company needs to ensure that it and its OEM customers and suppliers timely comply with such laws and regulations, which may result in increased operating costs. Other legislation has been, and may in the future be, enacted in other locations in which the Company manufactures or sells its products. If the Company or its component suppliers fail to timely comply with applicable legislation, its customers may refuse to purchase its products, or it may face increased operating costs because of fines or penalties. In connection with complying with such environmental laws and regulations as well as with industry environmental initiatives, the standards of business conduct required by some of its customers and its commitment to sound corporate citizenship in all aspects of its business, the Company could incur substantial compliance and operating costs and be subject to disruptions to its operations and logistics. In addition, if the Company were found to be in violation of these laws or noncompliant with these initiatives or standards of conduct, it could be subject to governmental fines, liability to its customers and damage to its reputation and corporate brand, any of which could cause its financial condition or results of operations to suffer.
We may incur fines or penalties, damage to our reputation or suffer other adverse consequences if our employees, suppliers, sub-suppliers or other contract parties, agents or business partners violate anti-bribery, competition, export and import, trade sanctions, data privacy, environmental, human rights, forced labor, or other laws.
We are subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including laws related to anti-corruption, human rights, forced labor, anti-bribery, export and import compliance, trade sanctions, data privacy, anti-trust and money laundering, due to our domestic and global operations. In particular, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced government corruption to some degree. We cannot provide assurance our internal controls will always protect us from the improper conduct of our employees, suppliers, sub-suppliers or other contract parties, agents and business partners. Violations of these laws, which are complex and often are difficult to interpret and apply, could subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the United States and other jurisdictions, could lead to substantial civil or criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties and related stockholder lawsuits, could lead to increased costs of compliance and could damage our reputation, business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Employee disputes or litigation and related unfavorable publicity may negatively affect our future business, financial condition, and operating results.
We may become involved in lawsuits or other disputes relating to employment matters, such as hostile workplace, discrimination, wage and hour disputes, sexual harassment, or other employment issues. These types of claims, depending on their nature, can have a significant negative impact on businesses. Certain companies that have faced employment- or harassment-related lawsuits have had to terminate management or other key personnel, have borne economic and other costs and have suffered reputational harm that has negatively impacted their business.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately determine our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial results, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. There is no assurance that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal controls will not be identified in the future or that we
will be successful in adequately remediating any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We have had material weaknesses in our internal controls in the past and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting and accounting processes in the future. The existence of any material weakness or significant deficiencies would require management to devote significant time and incur significant expense to remediate, and management may not be able to remediate in a timely manner. The existence of any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, subject us to investigations from regulatory authorities or cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.
The Company could incur restructuring and impairment charges as it continuously evaluates its portfolio of assets and identifies opportunities to restructure its business to optimize its cost structure.
The Company continuously evaluates its portfolio of assets and its operational structure in an effort to identify opportunities to optimize its cost structure as a result of its on-going business needs. These actions could result in restructuring and related charges, including but not limited to asset impairments and employee termination costs, any of which could be significant and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
The Company has substantial amounts of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, which are subject to periodic impairment analysis and review. Identifying and assessing whether impairment indicators exist, or if events or changes in circumstances have occurred, including market conditions, operating results, competition and general economic conditions requires significant judgment. Declines in profitability due to changes in volume, market pricing, cost or the business environment could result in charges that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Significant adverse changes to the Company’s business environment and future cash flows could cause the recognition of material impairment charges in future periods.
The Company currently faces, and will continue to face, significant competition.
The market for the Company’s products and related services is highly competitive, subject to rapid change and sensitive to new-product and service introductions and changes in technical requirements. New developments in power system technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of the Company’s power systems or make them noncompetitive or obsolete. Other companies, some of which have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than the Company, are currently engaged in the development of products and technologies that are similar to, or may be competitive with, certain of the Company’s products and power system technologies. If the markets for its products grow as the Company anticipates, competition may intensify, as existing and new competitors identify opportunities in such markets.
The Company faces competition from companies that employ current power system technologies, and it may face competition in the future from additional companies as new power system technologies are adopted. Additionally, the Company may face competition from companies developing technologies such as cleaner diesel engines, biodiesel, fuel cells, electrification, advanced batteries and hybrid battery/internal combustion power systems. The Company may not be able to incorporate such technologies into its product offerings, or it may be required to devote substantial resources to do so. The success of its business depends in large part on its ability to provide single assembly, integrated, comprehensive, technologically sophisticated power systems to its customers. The development or enhancement by its competitors of similar capabilities could adversely affect the Company’s business.
Failure to keep pace with technological developments may adversely affect the Company’s operations.
The Company is engaged in an industry that will be affected by future technological developments. The Company’s success will depend upon its ability to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products, applications and processes that keep pace with technological developments and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. The Company may not be successful in identifying, developing and marketing new products, applications and processes, and product or process enhancements. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of product or process enhancements or new products, applications or processes. The Company’s products, applications or processes may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. If the Company were to incur delays in developing new products, applications or processes, or product or process enhancements, or if its products do not gain market acceptance, its results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
The Company could fail to adequately protect its intellectual property rights or could face claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties.
The Company believes that the success of its business depends, in substantial part, upon its proprietary technology, information, processes and know-how. The Company does not own any material patents and relies on a combination of trademark and trade
secret laws, along with confidentiality agreements, contractual provisions and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect its intellectual property rights. Despite the Company’s efforts to protect its intellectual property rights, existing laws may afford only limited protection, and the Company’s actions may be inadequate to protect its intellectual property rights or to successfully defend itself against claims from others that the Company has violated their intellectual property rights. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect the Company’s proprietary rights as fully or in the same manner as the laws of the United States. The unauthorized use of the Company’s intellectual property rights and proprietary technology by others could materially harm the Company’s business.
In addition, the Company cannot be certain that its products, services and power system technologies, including any intellectual property licensed from third parties for use therein or incorporated into components that it sources from its suppliers, do not, or in the future will not, infringe or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. In the future, the Company may be subject to infringement claims that result in litigation. Successful infringement claims against the Company could result in substantial monetary liability, require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements, or otherwise materially disrupt the conduct of the Company’s business. In addition, even if the Company prevails in the defense of any such claims, any such litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend or settle and could materially adversely affect its business.
Limitations of the Company’s Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance and potential indemnification obligations will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Under its bylaws and certain indemnification agreements, the Company has obligations to indemnify current and former officers and directors. Expenses that may occur in the future and/or liabilities not covered by the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy, that may be imposed in connection with actions against certain of the Company’s past and present directors and officers and certain current and former employees who are entitled to indemnification would be funded by the Company with its existing cash resources. The Company directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy renews annually and expires in July 2025.
The Company’s inability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future may limit the Company’s ability to use net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to reduce future tax payments.
The Company has NOL carryforwards with which to offset its future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. If the Company should fail to generate a sufficient level of taxable income prior to the expiration of the NOL carryforward periods, then it will lose the ability to apply the NOLs as offsets to future taxable income. Similar limitations also apply to certain U.S. federal tax credits.
Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate and cash tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by the enactment of new tax legislation, changes in the level and mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates, and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United Sates, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income in the United States. We are also subject to ongoing tax audits. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve and can be highly judgmental. Tax authorities may disagree with certain of our tax reporting positions and, as a result, assess additional taxes against us. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness of our gross unrecognized tax benefits. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of current and future tax audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax provision and, therefore, could have a material impact on our income tax provision.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements about the Company’s business and consolidated results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, including discussions about management’s expectations for the Company’s business. These statements represent projections, beliefs and expectations based on current circumstances and conditions and in light of recent events and trends, and these statements should not be construed either as assurances of performance or as promises of a given course of action. Instead, various known and unknown factors are likely to cause the Company’s actual performance and management’s actions to vary, and the results of these variances may be both material and adverse. A description of material factors known to the Company that may cause its results to vary, or may cause management to deviate from its current plans and expectations, is set forth under “Risk Factors” in this report. See also “Forward-Looking Statements.” The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related Notes included in this report.
Executive Overview
The Company designs, engineers, manufactures, markets and sells a broad range of advanced, emission-certified engines and power systems that run on a wide variety of clean, alternative fuels, including natural gas, propane, and biofuels, as well as gasoline and diesel options, within the power systems, industrial and transportation end markets with primary manufacturing, assembly, engineering, R&D, sales and distribution facilities located in suburban Chicago, Illinois and Darien and Beloit, Wisconsin. The Company provides highly engineered, comprehensive solutions designed to meet specific customer application requirements and technical specifications, including those imposed by environmental regulatory bodies, such as the EPA and the CARB.
The Company’s products are primarily used by global OEM and end-user customers across a wide range of applications and equipment that includes standby and prime power generation, demand response, microgrid, combined heat and power, arbor care, material handling (including forklifts), agricultural and turf, construction, pumps and irrigation, compressors, utility vehicles, light- and medium-duty vocational trucks, school and transit buses, and utility power. The Company manages the business as a single reporting segment.

During 2024, the Company sold over 22,200 engines of which approximately 76% utilized propane or natural gas as their fuel source and 13% utilized gasoline. The remaining 11% of engines were dual fuel gasoline/propane, diesel and service engines. During 2023, the Company sold over 33,500 engines of which approximately 76% utilized propane or natural gas as their fuel source and 17% utilized gasoline. The remaining 7% of engines were dual fuel gasoline/propane, diesel and service/base engines.
Weichai Transactions
The Company sought to expand its range of products and its presence in the Pacific Rim through the Weichai Transactions (see Note 3. Weichai Transactions, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information).
The Company and Weichai executed the Collaboration Agreement in order to achieve their respective objectives, enhance the cooperation alliance and share experiences, expertise and resources. Among other things, the Collaboration Arrangement established a joint steering committee, permitted Weichai to employ a limited number of technical, marketing, sales, procurement and finance personnel to work at the Company and established several collaborations related to stationary natural-gas applications and Weichai diesel engines. The Collaboration Agreement also provides for the steering committee to create various subcommittees with operating roles and otherwise governs the treatment of intellectual property of the parties prior to the collaboration and the intellectual property developed during the collaboration. On March 22, 2023, the Collaboration Agreement was extended for an additional term of three years. The Company’s sales to Weichai were $1.8 million and $1.7 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company purchased $21.5 million and $6.2 million of inventory from Weichai during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
PSI is party to the SLA with Weichai. See Note 6. Debt, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information.
Legal Settlement Expenses
Legal settlements included in the 2024 operating results, were a benefit of $4.7 million (see Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies, included in Part II. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information).
Recent Trends and Business Outlook
PSI’s growth in net revenue in 2024 was driven by power systems markets, including data center and oil and gas products, partially offset by lower sales from more mature, lower-margin markets such as transportation. This shift in markets reflects the
Company’s conscious strategic prioritization toward higher growth, higher-margin markets with less emphasis on more mature markets.
The Company is focused on leading the business through a growth phase with a stronger balance sheet while strategically prioritizing products that demonstrate strong demand and higher gross margins. Consistent with those goals, the Company is actively pursuing several initiatives to enhance and expand manufacturing capacity to meet the increasing demand from data center markets. Pivoting the focus to these markets is driving current net sales growth and profitability. Through expanded capacity and strategic partnerships, management expects this positive trend to continue.
PSI’s business is impacted by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, which has contributed to differing levels of recovery in the global economy. For example, although the oil and gas market, in which the Company has historically operated, has experienced year over year growth from its historic lows, sales levels may not reach their previous higher levels because of rising crude oil prices and lower rig counts. The Company has been actively navigating these challenges by balancing its investments, expenses, pricing and sales efforts in this market as well as others.
In addition to prioritizing gross profit, the Company is committed to efficiently managing expenses, including streamlining operating expenses and prioritizing certain R&D investments in support of long-term growth objectives. The Company is committed to focusing on growth opportunities and investment while also optimizing its cost structure to enhance growth and profitability, ultimately delivering sustained value to our shareholders.
The Company continues to experience inflationary cost pressures for certain raw materials and other goods, which the Company continues to try to mitigate through price increases and other cost reduction measures. Additionally, the Company continues to experience ongoing tariff costs for its supply chain products and is trying to mitigate these impacts through price increases and other measures, such as seeking certain tariff exclusions, where available. The potential for continued economic uncertainty and unfavorable oil and gas market dynamics may have a material adverse impact on the levels of future customer orders and the Company’s future business operations, financial condition and liquidity.
The Company is party to several legal contingencies. See Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion of the Company’s indemnification obligations.
The Company anticipates an increase in sales for 2025 compared to 2024, driven by expected growth in the power systems end market including products supporting data centers, while sales in the industrial and transportation end markets are projected to remain about flat. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for stable supply chain dynamics and a continuation of favorable economic conditions within the United States and across the Company’s various markets, the Company cautions that significant uncertainty remains as a result of supply chain challenges, inflationary costs, commodity volatility, ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, especially with the latest tariff announcements and the possible impact on trade between the USA and the rest of the world, among other factors.
Hyster-Yale Supply Arrangement: In 2023, Hyster-Yale began using alternative suppliers for several high-volume engines that the Company provides, including the 2.0L and 2.4L engines, due in part to supply chain issues related to UFLPA enforcement. As a result, the Company experienced a decline in sales volumes to Hyster-Yale in 2024.
Strategic Initiatives/Growth Strategies: The Company has initiated various business objectives aimed at improving profitability, streamlining processes, strengthening the business and focusing on achieving growth in higher-return product lines. Central to this plan is the Company’s increased emphasis on power systems product offerings through new product development and investments, in addition to leveraging the Company’s relationship with Weichai. With the recent introduction of numerous natural gas and diesel engines, coupled with its existing strong product lineup, the Company believes that it has a solid foundation to achieve long-term growth, particularly within the power systems market.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $17.0 million, or 4%, compared to 2023, as a result of sales increases of $100.6 million in the power systems end market, partly offset by decreases of $37.1 million and $46.6 million within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively. Higher power systems end market sales were primarily due to increased demand for products across various applications, with the largest increases attributable to products used within the packaging market such as enclosures serving the fast-growing data center market, and oil and gas products. The Company is strategically prioritizing the rapidly expanding data center sector, improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet our customers’ evolving demands for our products. Decreased industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as the direct effects of enforcement of the UFLPA, which limited the Company’s ability to import certain raw materials. The decreased sales within the transportation end market were primarily attributable to lower sales in the truck and school bus market from ceasing sales of emission-certified engines into this market, and new compliance and regulatory requirements that changed engine product offerings in this market.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $34.7 million, or 33%, to $140.5 million in 2024, compared to $105.9 million in 2023. Gross margin was 29.5% and 23.1% in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to improved sales mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, and lower warranty costs primarily attributable to the Company’s sales shift away from certain transportation customers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, warranty costs were $6.5 million, a decrease of $6.5 million compared to warranty costs of $13.0 million in the same period last year, mainly attributable to changes in estimates for preexisting warranties. A majority of the warranty activity is attributable to products sold within the transportation end market in prior years.
Research and Development Expenses
R&D expenses in 2024 and 2023 were $20.1 million and $19.5 million, respectively. The increase of $0.6 million, or 3%, was primarily related to the testing of new products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) decreased in 2024 by $3.0 million, or 7%, compared to 2023. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in accrued legal settlements of $4.7 million, lower professional fees and the decrease in selling expenses associated with decreased sales in the transportation market.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $5.6 million to $11.4 million in 2024 from $17.1 million in 2023, largely due to reduced outstanding debt and lower overall effective interest rates. See Note 6. Debt, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million in both 2024 and 2023. The Company’s pretax income was $70.2 million in 2024, compared to pretax income of $27.2 million in 2023. The Company continues to utilize NOLs along with other tax credits to lower its effective tax rate. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.
See Note 12. Income Taxes, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information related to the Company’s income tax provision.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this report also includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial amounts as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure Comparable GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted net income Net income
Adjusted net income per share - diluted Net income per share - diluted
EBITDA Net income
Adjusted EBITDA Net income
The Company believes that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share - diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in its industry as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of the Company. Adjusted net income is defined as net income as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income per share - diluted is a measure of the Company’s diluted earnings per common share adjusted for the impact of special items. EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of other non-cash charges and certain other items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations.
Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share - diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of the Company’s operations and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share - diluted, and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor because these measures are widely used to evaluate companies’ operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measures, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, the book value of assets, the capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operations was $62.4 million in 2024 compared to net cash provided by operations of $70.5 million in 2023, a decrease of $8.1 million in cash provided by operating activities year-over-year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from a $44.5 million decrease of cash provided by working capital accounts, partially offset by an increase in earnings of $43.0 million. The decrease in cash generated from working capital was primarily related to, purchases of inventory and lower collections on accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to cash used in investing activities of $5.0 million for year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
The Company used $25.9 million in cash from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $66.8 million in cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023. The cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to proceeds from the new Revolving Credit Agreement and payments made on the SLA and other debt. Cash used in 2023 was primarily attributable to repayment of existing debt during the year. See additional discussion below and in Note 6. Debt in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data related to the amendments of the Company’s debt arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s sources of funds are cash flows from operations, borrowings made pursuant to its credit facilities and shareholder’s loan agreements, and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Uses of funds include payments of principal on our debt facilities and shareholder’s loan agreements, capital expenditures, and working capital needs.
While the Company has achieved profitability and generated positive cash flows from operating activities in 2024, uncertainties exist about the Company’s ability to refinance, extend, or repay its outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total outstanding debt obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the SLA, finance leases and other debt, all of which are short-term requirements, were $120.2 million in the aggregate, and its cash and cash equivalents were $55.3 million. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6. Debt, for additional information.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on extending and amending, refinancing or repaying the indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing debt arrangements. Without additional financing, the Company anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay amounts owed under its existing debt arrangements as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing. In order to provide the Company with a more permanent source of liquidity, management plans to seek an extension and amendment and/or replacement of its existing debt agreements or seek additional liquidity from its current or other lenders before the maturity dates in 2025. There can be no assurance that the Company’s management will be able to successfully complete an extension and amendment of its existing debt agreements or obtain new financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all.
PSI’s business is impacted by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, which has contributed to differing levels of recovery in the global economy. For example, although the oil and gas market, in which the Company has historically operated, has experienced year over year growth from its historic lows, sales levels may not reach previous higher levels
because of rising crude oil prices and lower rig counts. The Company continues to experience inflationary cost pressures for certain raw materials and other goods which the Company continues to try to mitigate through price increases and other cost reduction measures. Additionally, the Company continues to experience ongoing tariff costs for its supply chain products and is trying to mitigate these impacts through price increases and other measures, such as seeking certain tariff exclusions, where possible. The potential for continued economic uncertainty and unfavorable oil and gas market dynamics may have a material adverse impact on the levels of future customer orders and the Company’s future business operations, financial condition and liquidity.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had four outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.4 million. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and the outstanding letters of credit.
Commitments and Contingencies
Legal matters are further discussed in Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. See Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of legal risks to the Company.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company has identified the following as its most critical accounting policies and judgments. Although management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based on information available when they are made and, therefore, may differ from estimates made under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and should be reviewed in connection with the following discussion of accounting policies that require difficult, subjective, and complex judgments and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for the Company is generated from contracts when performance obligations under terms of the contract with a customer are satisfied, which is generally when control of the product has been transferred to the customer. For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For the majority of the Company’s products, revenue is recognized when the products are shipped or delivered to the customer based on the shipping terms which is usually when control passes to the customer. Conversely, the Company recognizes revenue throughout the manufacturing process when constructing because the customer receives the benefit of the asset as the product is constructed. The Company recognizes revenue related to extended warranty programs based on the passage of time over the extended warranty period.
The allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of estimated lifetime credit losses in our accounts receivable. We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses.
The credit environment in which our customers operate has been relatively stable over the past few years and the Company collections are bolstered by a robust collections department. Total bad debt expense was less than $0.1 million in both 2024 and 2023. If circumstances change, due to the occurrence of higher-than-expected defaults or a significant adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet our financial obligations such as bankruptcies, estimates of the recoverability of receivable amounts due could be reduced.
Refer to Note 2. Revenue of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s revenue recognition.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually as of October 1 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred or when required by accounting standards. We test goodwill and individual indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at a single reporting unit level. These assessments may be performed quantitatively or qualitatively.
We have not made any changes in 2024 to our reporting unit or the accounting methodology we use to assess impairment loss on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In 2024, management performed an assessment of the impairment of
goodwill for our reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets using a quantitative approach, which indicated that the fair values the reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets were substantially in excess of their carrying values. Therefore, no indications of impairment were identified.
The Company performs its annual impairment test using the discounted cash flow method which involves the Company’s management making estimates with respect to a variety of factors that will significantly impact the future performance of the business, including the following:
•future volume projections;
•estimated margins on sales;
•estimated growth rate for SG&A costs;
•future effective tax rate; and
•weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) used to discount future performance of the Company.
Because these estimates form a basis for the determination of whether the impairment charge should be recorded, these estimates are considered to be critical accounting estimates. See Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further discussion.
Warranty
The Company offers a standard limited warranty on the workmanship of its products that in most cases covers defects for a defined period, warranties mandated by governments and warranties for products that carry limited warranties from suppliers. The Company estimates and records a liability and related charges to income for its warranty program at the time products are sold to customers. Estimates are based on historical experience and reflect management’s best estimates of expected costs at the time products are sold.
When the Company identifies cost effective opportunities to address issues in products sold or corrective actions for safety issues, it initiates product recalls or field campaigns. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recalls and field campaigns, the liability for such actions is generally recorded when the Company commits to a product recall or field campaign. When collection is reasonably assured, the Company also estimates the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from its suppliers. Warranty costs and recoveries are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Warranty costs and recoveries are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further discussion.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay amounts owed under its existing debt arrangements as they become due in 2025 without additional financing and uncertainties exist about the Company’s ability to refinance, amend or extend these debt arrangements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Accrued Product Warranty
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated accrued product warranty balance was $14.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company offers a standard limited warranty on the workmanship of its products. The Company estimates and records a liability and related charges to income for its warranty program at the time products are sold to customers. These estimates are established using historical warranty claims information including failure rates, repair costs and timing of failures. Previous estimates are adjusted as actual warranty claims data becomes available.
We identified the estimation of certain accrued product warranties as a critical audit matter. The principal consideration for this determination was the significant judgment used by management when determining the accrued product warranty estimates. Auditing management’s estimates and assumptions to determine certain accrued product warranties involved especially
challenging auditor judgment due to the significant audit effort in performing procedures related to the significant assumptions, specifically the applicability of historical claims experience.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
a.Evaluating management’s assumptions to estimate certain future warranty claims by comparing the current product warranty claims estimates to the prior year estimates and investigating significant differences to evaluate the applicability of the historical claims experience.
b.Testing the completeness and accuracy of certain underlying historical warranty claims information used to estimate future warranty claims.
c.Testing the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of certain accrued product warranties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information
Nature of Business Operations
Power Solutions International, Inc. (“Power Solutions,” “PSI” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a global producer and distributor of a broad range of high-performance, certified, low-emission power systems, including alternative-fueled power systems for original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of off-highway industrial equipment and large custom-engineered integrated electrical power generation systems.
The Company’s customers include large, industry-leading and multinational organizations. The Company’s products and services are sold predominantly to customers throughout North America as well as to customers located throughout the Pacific Rim and Europe. The Company’s power systems are highly engineered, comprehensive systems which, through the Company’s technologically sophisticated development and manufacturing processes, including its in-house design, prototyping, testing and engineering capabilities and its analysis and determination of the specific components to be integrated into a given power system (driven in large part by emission standards and cost considerations), allow the Company to provide its customers with power systems customized to meet specific OEM application requirements, other customers’ technical specifications and requirements imposed by environmental regulatory bodies.
The Company’s power system configurations range from a basic engine integrated with appropriate fuel system components to completely packaged power systems that include any combination of cooling systems, electronic systems, air intake systems, fuel systems, housings, power takeoff systems, exhaust systems, hydraulic systems, enclosures, brackets, hoses, tubes and other assembled componentry. The Company also designs and manufactures large, custom-engineered integrated electrical power generation systems for both standby and prime power applications. The Company purchases engines from third-party suppliers and produces internally designed engines, all of which are then integrated into its power systems.
Of the other components that the Company integrates into its power systems, a substantial portion consist of internally designed components and components for which it coordinates significant design efforts with third-party suppliers, with the remainder consisting largely of parts that are sourced off-the-shelf from third-party suppliers. Some of the key components (including purchased engines) embody proprietary intellectual property of the Company’s suppliers. As a result of its design and manufacturing capabilities, the Company is able to provide its customers with a power system that can be incorporated into a customer’s specified application. In addition to the certified products described above, the Company sells diesel, gasoline and non-certified power systems and aftermarket components.
Stock Ownership and Control
Weichai America Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weichai Power Co., Ltd. (HK2338, SZ000338) (herein collectively referred to as “Weichai”), owns a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result, Weichai is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholders’ approval, including the election of directors, amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions impractical without the support of Weichai.
Weichai has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). The Rights Agreement provides Weichai with representation on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management representation rights. Weichai currently has four representatives on the Board, which constitutes the majority of the directors serving on the Board. According to the Rights Agreement, during any period when the Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, it will take such measures as to avail itself of the “controlled company” exemptions available under Rule 5615 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules from Rules 5605(b), (d) and (e) to the extent applicable.
Going Concern Considerations
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported net income of $69.3 million and generated $62.4 million in cash flow from operating activities. In August 2024, the Company refinanced its debt through a new Revolving Credit Agreement with three banks. Additionally, the Company entered into a new Shareholder’s Loan Agreement (the “SLA”) with Weichai to replace all existing Shareholder Loan Agreements. The new Revolving Credit Agreement and the SLA mature on August 30, 2025 and August 31, 2025, respectively, and have borrowing capacity of $120.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held $55.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and its short-term debt obligations under the new Revolving Credit Agreement and SLA totaled $95.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. While the Company has achieved profitability and generated positive cash flows from operating activities in 2024, uncertainties exist about the Company’s ability to refinance, amend or extend its outstanding indebtedness. See Note 6. Debt, for further information regarding the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt agreements.
Due to these uncertainties, the Company’s management has concluded that, substantial doubt exists as to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company’s plans to alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may not be successful, and it may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on extending and amending, refinancing or repaying the indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing debt arrangements. Without additional financing, the Company anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay amounts owed under its existing debt arrangements as they become due. In order to provide the Company with a more permanent source of liquidity, management plans to seek an extension and amendment and/or replacement of its existing debt agreements or seek additional liquidity from its current or other lenders before the maturity dates in 2025. There can be no assurance that the Company’s management will be able to successfully complete an extension and amendment of its existing debt agreements or obtain new financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Company’s efforts to address these issues.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Power Solutions International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, sales and expenses of all wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of allowances for uncollectible receivables, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, evaluation of goodwill, other intangibles, property, plant and equipment for
impairment, income tax valuation allowances and determination of useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Such investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal due to required minimum levels of cash collateral for letters of credits and contractual agreements with customers. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $3.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, which includes $1.4 million restricted cash held in escrow which could be required to be refunded to the customer if conditions occur as defined in the agreement with the customer. The Company has not recognized revenue associated with the restricted cash. The liability is included within Noncurrent Contract Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting guidance, on the basis of a two-step process whereby (i) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more-likely-than-not threshold. Otherwise, these tax benefits are recorded when a tax position has been effectively settled, which means that the appropriate taxing authority has completed its examination even though the statute of limitations remains open, or the statute of limitation has expired. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of income tax expense and are accrued beginning in the period that such interest and penalties would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Trade accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers and not yet collected. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, which approximates net recoverable value, and generally do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable and is established through a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses. We estimate losses over the contractual life using assumptions to capture the risk of loss, even if remote, based principally on how long a receivable has been outstanding and the geographic region. Other factors considered include historical write-off experience, current economic conditions and also factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms. Trade accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses are reviewed on a regular basis. When necessary, an allowance for the full amount of specific accounts deemed uncollectible is recorded. Accounts receivable losses are deducted from the allowance and the account balance is written off when means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of previously written off balances are recognized when received. An allowance associated with anticipated future sales returns and accrued pricing adjustments are also included in the accounts receivable, net.
Inventories
The Company’s inventories consist primarily of engines and parts. Engines are valued at the lower of cost including estimated freight-in or net realizable value. Parts are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for integral parts provided by customers for installation on custom ordered engines. Such parts are accounted for as noncash consideration which is valued at fair value. Net realizable value approximates replacement cost. Cost is principally determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. It is the Company’s policy to review inventories on a continuing basis for obsolete, excess and slow-moving items and to record valuation adjustments for such items in order to eliminate non-recoverable costs from inventory. Valuation adjustments are recorded in an inventory reserve account and reduce
the cost basis of the inventory in the period in which the reduced valuation is determined. Inventory reserves are established based on quantities on hand, usage and sales history, customer orders, projected demand and utilization within a current or future power system. Specific analysis of individual items or groups of items is performed based on these same criteria, as well as on changes in market conditions or any other identified conditions.
Inventories consist of the following:
(in thousands) As of December 31,
Inventories 2024 2023
Raw materials $ 84,323 $ 68,273
Work in process 872 1,166

Write-offs (989) (970)
Balance at end of period $ 8,135 $ 5,730
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s inventory included $0.8 million of raw materials provided by its customers for installation in the fulfillment of its performance obligations to these customers and recorded an associated contract liability. See Note 2. Revenue for further information regarding contract assets and contract liabilities.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost and presented net of accumulated depreciation and impairments. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, plant and equipment is evaluated periodically to determine if an adjustment to depreciable lives is warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-lived assets.
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
Estimated useful lives by each type of asset category are as follows:
Years
Buildings Up to 39
Leasehold improvements Lesser of (i) expected useful life of improvement or (ii) life of lease (including likely extension thereof)
Machinery and equipment 1 to 10
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets include customer relationships, developed technology, trade names and trademarks. Intangible assets are amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of time that approximates the pattern over which the Company expects to gain the estimated economic benefits, and such period generally ranges between three years and 15 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets or asset groups, excluding goodwill which is separately tested for impairment, whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group, including cash flows from disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is calculated. An impairment loss is determined by the amount that the asset’s or asset group’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted balance becomes the new cost basis and is depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life. The Company also periodically reassesses the useful lives of its long-lived assets due to advances and changes in technologies. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to the net acquired assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, on an annual basis or more frequently, if events occur or circumstances change indicating potential impairment. The Company annually tests goodwill for impairment on October 1.
In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., there is a likelihood of more than 50%) that the Company’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measures the amount of goodwill impairment it will recognize, if any.
In the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its related carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is needed. If, however, the reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the Company records an impairment for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value.
The Company calculates its estimated fair value using the income and market approaches when feasible, or an asset approach when neither the income nor the market approach has sufficient data. For the income approach, a discounted cash flow method, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends, expected future investments to grow new units, and estimated discount rates. The Company based these assumptions on its historical data and experience, industry projections, and micro and macro general economic condition projections and expectations. The market approach, also called the Guideline Public Company Approach, compares the value of an entity to similar publicly traded companies. The asset approach estimates the selling price the unit could achieve under assumed market conditions. The Company used the income and market approaches when determining its estimated fair value as of October 1, 2024 and 2023.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company performed a quantitative assessment and determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value; as such, no impairment charges were recognized.
Other Accrued Liabilities
Other accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

2 The Company has an incentive compensation plan, which authorizes the granting of a variety of different types of awards including, but not limited to, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”), deferred stock and performance units to its executive officers, employees, consultants and Directors. The SAR awards granted for the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were all liability classified awards and remained outstanding. See Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation for additional information on the SARs and RSAs.
Warranty Costs
The Company offers a standard limited warranty on the workmanship of its products that in most cases covers defects for a defined period. Warranties for certified emission products are mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and / or the California Air Resources Board (the “CARB”) and are longer than the Company’s standard warranty on certain emission-related products. The Company’s products also carry limited warranties from suppliers. The Company’s warranties generally apply to engines fully manufactured by the Company and to the modifications the Company makes to supplier base products. Costs related to supplier warranty claims are generally borne by the supplier and passed through to the end customer.
Warranty estimates are based on historical experience and represent the projected cost associated with the product. A liability and related expense are recognized at the time products are sold. The Company adjusts estimates when it is determined that actual costs may differ from initial or previous estimates. The Company’s warranty liability is generally affected by failure rates, repair costs and the timing of failures. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change the estimates and require adjustments to the warranty liability. In addition, new product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available.
The Company records adjustments to preexisting warranties for changes in its estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior fiscal years in the period in which new information is received and the information indicates that actual costs may differ from the Company’s initial or previous estimates. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historic and expected trends.
When the Company identifies cost effective opportunities to address issues in products sold or corrective actions for safety issues, it initiates product recalls or field campaigns. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recalls and field campaigns, the liability for such actions is generally recorded when the Company commits to a product recall or field campaign. In each subsequent quarter after a recall or field campaign is initiated, the recorded warranty liability balance is analyzed, reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect any changes in the anticipated average cost of repair or number of repairs to be completed prospectively.
When collection is reasonably assured, the Company also estimates the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from its suppliers. Warranty costs and recoveries are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, reimbursed warranty costs due from a significant supplier included in accounts receivable are approximately $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Accrued product warranty activities included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are presented below:
(in thousands) For the Year Ended December 31,
Accrued Product Warranty 2024 2023

Noncurrent accrued product warranty $ 3,739 $ 7,973
*Warranty costs, net of supplier recoveries, and other adjustments, were $6.5 million and $13.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Supplier recoveries were $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
**Changes in estimates for preexisting warranties reflect changes in the Company’s estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior periods. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historical and expected trends. For the year December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a cost for changes in estimates of preexisting warranties of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and costs of $7.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 2. Revenue for additional information the Company’s policy related to revenue recognition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology under current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The new standard was effective for non-public companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures - Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The amendments to this standard require public entities to disclose more detailed information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The amendments to this standard do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments to this standard apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2024 and subsequent interim periods. See Note 17. Segment Reporting for the new disclosures required by the standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures - Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments to this standard enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as well as effectiveness of overall income tax disclosures. The new standard is effective for non-public companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update requires entities to provide more detailed disclosures about the components of significant expense categories, enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of financial statements. The amendments in this update are intended to provide investors with additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods thereafter, although early adoption is permitted.
While we anticipate that the adoption of this standard will require additional disclosures, the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Revenue
Revenue Recognition
The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the following steps:
•identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer;
•identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•determination of the transaction price;
•allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
•recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
Revenue for the Company is generated from contracts that may include a single performance obligation (generally, a single type of engine) or multiple performance obligations (which may include an engine with aftermarket parts, different types of engines, etc.). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer, including consideration other than cash. The Company may receive integral parts provided by customers for installation on custom ordered engines. Such parts are accounted for as noncash consideration since the Company obtains control of the contributed parts and is included in the transaction price at fair value. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company is required to estimate the total consideration expected to be received from contracts with customers. The consideration expected to be received may be variable based on the specific terms of the contract and the Company’s past practices.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to distinct performance obligations based on directly observable data, if available, or the Company’s best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct performance obligation. The primary methods used to determine stand-alone selling price are directly observable prices and the cost plus a margin approach.
The Company applies judgment in order to identify and determine the number of performance obligations, determine the total transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation, and determine the appropriate timing of revenue recognition.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis; that is, such taxes are excluded from revenues.
The Company’s payment terms are generally 60 days or less and its sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing components.
Timing of revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue related to performance obligations in its contracts with customers when control passes to the customer. Control passes to the customer when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. For the majority of the Company’s products, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the products are shipped or delivered to the customer based on the shipping terms as that is the point in time when control passes to the customer. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $355.2 million and $385.5 million, respectively, related to products shipped or delivered at a point in time.
The Company also recognizes revenue over time primarily when the Company’s performance obligations include enhancing a customer-controlled asset (generally when an engine is provided by the customer), constructing an asset with no alternative future use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment throughout the period as the services are performed, or providing services over time such as an extended warranty beyond the Company’s standard warranty. The Company recognizes revenue throughout the manufacturing process when constructing an asset based on labor hours incurred because the customer receives the benefit of the asset as the product is constructed. The Company believes labor hours incurred relative to total estimated labor hours at completion faithfully depicts the transfer of control to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to extended warranty programs based on the passage of time over the extended warranty period. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $120.8 million and $73.4 million, respectively, for products manufactured and services provided over time.
Shipping and handling costs. The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs which are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. This includes shipping and handling costs incurred after control of the asset has transferred to the customer as the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606.
Principal vs. agent considerations. From time to time, the Company may involve more than one party when providing goods or services to a customer. The Company determines whether it is the principal or agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. The analysis of whether the Company is a principal or an agent in a transaction is performed for each good or services provided to the customer. The Company determines whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer by considering the following factors:
a.Whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service.
b.Whether the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to the customer or after transfer of control to the customer.
c.Whether the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.
If the Company determines that it is the principal in the transaction, it recognizes revenues at the gross transaction price for the good or service. If the Company determines that is an agent in the transaction, it recognizes revenue at the net amount of the transaction price.
Variable consideration. Variable consideration primarily includes rebates and discounts. The Company estimates the projected amount of rebates and discounts based on current assumptions, customer-specific information and historical experience. Variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue to the extent that it is probable that there will not be significant changes to the Company’s estimate of variable consideration when any uncertainties are settled.
Costs to obtain a contract. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract (primarily commissions) as expense when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Contract Balances
Most of the Company’s contracts are for a period of less than one year; however, extended warranty contracts extend beyond one year. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, or contract liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets include amounts related to the contractual right to consideration for completed performance when the right to consideration is conditional. The Company records contract liabilities when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. The fair value of noncash consideration of parts provided by customers is recorded in contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities are recognized at the contract level.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $1.4 million of revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations related to amounts that were included in the net contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations related to amounts that were included in the net contract liabilities balance as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose remaining performance obligations that have expected original durations of one year or less. For performance obligations that extend beyond one year, the Company had $2.6 million of remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2024 primarily related to extended warranties. The Company expects to recognize revenue related to these remaining performance obligations of approximately $0.7 million in 2025, $0.2 million in 2026, $1.5 million in 2027, $0.2 million in 2028, and none in 2029 and beyond.

Weichai Shareholder’s Loan Agreements
The Company is party to a $105.0 million SLA with Weichai. See additional discussion of these debt agreements in Note 6. Debt.
Weichai Collaboration Arrangement and Other Related Party Transactions
The Company and Weichai executed a strategic collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) on March 20, 2017, in order to achieve their respective strategic objectives and enhance the strategic cooperation alliance to share experiences, expertise and resources. On March 22, 2023, the Collaboration Agreement was extended for an additional term of three years.
The Company evaluates whether an arrangement is a collaborative arrangement at its inception based on the facts and circumstances specific to the arrangement. The Company also reevaluates whether an arrangement qualifies or continues to qualify as a collaborative arrangement whenever there is a change in either the roles of the participants or the participants’ exposure to significant risks and rewards dependent on the ultimate commercial success of the endeavor. For those collaborative arrangements where it is determined that the Company is the principal participant, costs incurred and revenue generated from third parties are recorded on a gross basis in the financial statements. The Company purchased $21.5 million and $6.2 million of inventory from Weichai during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In January 2022, PSI and Baudouin, a subsidiary of Weichai, entered into an international distribution and sales agreement which enables Baudouin to bring PSI’s power systems line of products into the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets. In addition to sales, Baudouin will manage service, support, warranty claims, and technical requests. Refer to the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income for detailed related party information.

Revolving Credit Agreement and Shareholder’s Loan Agreement
On August 30, 2024, the Company closed on its new Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), with Standard Chartered Bank (“Standard Chartered”) and two other lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $120.0 million and has a maturity date of August 30, 2025. The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default and covenants, including minimum consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio covenants for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first and second quarters of 2025. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement will incur interest at the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.00% per annum. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain wholly-owned, existing and subsequently acquired or formed direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the Company paid fees of $0.6 million related to the Revolving Credit Agreement which are deferred and amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Agreement.
As part of the closing of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company made an initial draw in the amount of $100.0 million. The Company utilized the amount drawn under the Revolving Credit Agreement (i) to repay the outstanding balance of approximately $40.0 million under the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement, dated March 22, 2024, by and among the Company and Standard Chartered; and (ii) to prepay approximately $60.0 million under the various shareholder loan agreements between PSI and Weichai. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $95.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. See further discussion below.
In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, on August 30, 2024, the Company also entered into a new Shareholder’s Loan Agreement (the “SLA”) with Weichai, which allows the Company to borrow up to $105.0 million and expires August 31, 2025. Borrowings under the SLA will incur interest at the applicable SOFR, plus 4.05% per annum. If the interest rate for any loan is lower than Weichai’s borrowing cost, the interest rate for such loan shall be equal to Weichai’s borrowing cost plus
1.0%. The borrowing requests made under the SLA are subject to Weichai’s discretionary approval. The payment of the borrowings under the SLA is subordinated in all respects to the Revolving Credit Agreement with the exception that the Company is allowed to make a single payment of $10.0 million to Weichai. The $60.0 million portion of the initial advance under the Revolving Credit Agreement was applied to pay all principal, interest, and other amounts outstanding under the $30 Million Loan Agreement, the $25 Million Loan Agreement, and the $50 Million Loan Agreement (each as discussed below), except for $25.0 million which is the outstanding principal balance under the SLA as of December 31, 2024.
On March 22, 2024, the Company amended and restated its $130.0 million Third Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement with Standard Chartered. The Fourth Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") reduced the borrowing capacity to $50.0 million and extended the maturity date of loans outstanding under its previous credit facility to the earlier of March 21, 2025 or the demand of Standard Chartered. The Credit Agreement was subject to customary events of default and covenants, including minimum consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio covenants for the second and third quarters of 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement incurred interest at either the alternate base rate or the SOFR plus applicable rate of 3.45% per annum. In addition, the Company paid fees of $0.1 million related to the Credit Agreement which were deferred and amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and provided Standard Chartered the right to demand payment of any and all of the outstanding borrowings and other amounts owed under the Credit Agreement at any point in time prior to the maturity date at Standard Chartered’s discretion. The Company repaid the outstanding balance of $40.0 million and extinguished the Credit Agreement on August 30, 2024.
On March 22, 2024, the Company amended one of the four previous shareholder’s loan agreements with Weichai, to among other things, extend the maturity thereof. The $30 Million Loan Agreement provided the Company with a $30.0 million subordinated loan at the discretion of Weichai and was amended to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2025. Borrowings under the $30 Million Loan Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR plus 4.05% per annum. Further, if the applicable SOFR rate was negative, the interest rate per annum should have been deemed as 4.05% per annum. If the interest rate for any loan was lower than Weichai’s borrowing cost, the interest rate for such loan would have been equal to Weichai’s borrowing cost plus 1.0%. All the amended shareholder loan agreements with Weichai were subject to customary events of default and covenants.
The Company was also previously party to a $130.0 million first Amended Shareholder’s Loan Agreement with Weichai, which was amended and restated in March 2023. This first Amended Shareholder’s Loan Agreement provided the Company with a $130.0 million subordinated loan under which Weichai was obligated to advance funds solely for purposes of repaying outstanding borrowings under Credit Agreement if the Company was unable to pay such borrowings. This first Amended Shareholder’s Loan Agreement was replaced by the new SLA.
The Company was also previously party to a $50 Million Loan Agreement with Weichai, which was amended and restated in November 2023. The $50 Million Loan Agreement provided the Company with a $50.0 million uncommitted facility that was subordinated to the Third Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement and any borrowing requests made under the $50 Million Loan Agreement were subject to Weichai’s discretionary approval. Borrowings under the $50 Million Loan Agreement incurred interest at the applicable SOFR, plus 4.65% per annum and could have been used for general corporate purposes, except for certain legal expenditures which required additional approval from Weichai. Further, if the applicable term SOFR was negative, the interest rate per annum should have been deemed as 4.65% per annum. If the interest rate for any loan was lower than Weichai’s borrowing cost, the interest rate for such loan would have been equal to Weichai’s borrowing cost plus 1.0%. This $50 Million Loan Agreement was replaced by the new SLA.
The Company was also previously party to a $25 Million Loan Agreement with Weichai, which was amended and restated in May 2024. The $25 Million Loan Agreement provided the Company with a $25.0 million subordinated loan. Borrowings under the $25 Million Loan Agreement incurred interest at the applicable SOFR rate, plus 4.05% per annum. Further, if the applicable term SOFR was negative, the interest rate per annum should have been deemed as 4.05% per annum. If the interest rate for any loan under the $25 Million Loan Agreement was lower than Weichai’s borrowing cost, the interest rate for such loan would have been equal to Weichai’s borrowing cost plus 1.0%. This $25 Million Loan Agreement was replaced by the new SLA.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total outstanding debt obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the SLA, and for finance leases and other debt were $120.2 million in the aggregate, and its cash and cash equivalents were $55.3 million. The Company's total accrued interest for the Revolving Credit Agreement and the SLA was $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s total accrued interest for its Credit Agreement and all shareholder loans was $1.9 million as of December 31, 2023. Accrued interest is included within Other Accrued Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8. Leases
Lease Policies
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases with an expected term greater than twelve months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments unless the implicit rate in the lease is readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is determined considering factors such as the lease term, the Company’s credit standing and the economic environment of the location of the lease.
The lease term includes all non-cancellable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Leases that have a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of a ROU asset or lease liability.
The Company classifies leases as finance leases when (i) there is a transfer of ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, (iii) the lease term is for the majority of the remaining economic life of the asset, or (iv) the present value of the lease payments and any residual value guarantee equals or substantially exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases is generally front-loaded as the finance lease ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis, but interest expense on the lease liability is recognized using the interest method which results in more expense during the early years of the lease. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components, such as fixed maintenance costs, as a single lease component in calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities for all classes of leased assets.
Leases
The Company has obligations under lease arrangements primarily for facilities, equipment and vehicles. These leases have original lease periods expiring between September 2025 and July 2034. The following table summarizes the lease expense by category in the Consolidated Statements of Income:

Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, the Company classifies each fair-value measurement as follows:
•Level 1 - based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 - based on other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroborations with market data at the measurement date; and
•Level 3 - based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Financial Instruments Measured at Carrying Value
Current Assets
Cash and cash equivalents (Level 1) are measured at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Debt
The Company measured its material debt obligations and notes payable at original carrying value. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Agreement and other short-term financing approximated carrying value, as it consisted primarily of short-term variable rate loans. The Company measured its non-interest bearing note payable using a rate which the Company could obtain financing of similar nature from other sources at the date of the transaction. The unamortized discount is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a deduction from the face amount of the note payable. The Company measured its material debt obligations and note payable using Level 2 inputs as follows:
(in thousands) As of December 31, 2024
Carrying Value Fair Value
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Revolving Credit Agreement $ 95,000 $ - $ 95,000 $ -

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Credit Agreement $ 50,000 $ - $ 50,000 $ -
Other financing 94,820 - 94,820
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
In addition to the methods and assumptions used for the financial instruments discussed above, accounts receivable, net income tax receivable, accounts payable, and certain accrued expenses are measured at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Note 10. Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan for its current employees. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred plan costs of $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
The legal matters discussed below and others could result in losses, including damages, fines, civil penalties and criminal charges, which could be substantial. The Company records accruals for these contingencies to the extent the Company concludes that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Regarding the matters disclosed below, unless otherwise disclosed, the Company has determined that liabilities associated with these legal matters are reasonably possible; however, unless otherwise stated, the possible loss or range of possible loss cannot be reasonably estimated. Given the nature of the litigation and investigations and the complexities involved, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss for all such matters until the Company knows, among other factors the following:
•what claims, if any, will survive dispositive motion practice;
•the extent of the claims, particularly when damages are not specified or are indeterminate;
•how the discovery process will affect the litigation;
•the settlement posture of the other parties to the litigation; and
•any other factors that may have a material effect on the litigation or investigation.
However, the Company could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise its expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and/or liquidity in the period in which the amounts are paid.
Jerome Treadwell v. the Company
In October 2018, a punitive class-action complaint was filed against the Company and NOVAtime Technology, Inc. (“NOVAtime” or “Plaintiff”) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. In December 2018, NOVAtime removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”) under the Class Action Fairness Act. Plaintiff has since voluntarily dismissed NOVAtime from the lawsuit without prejudice and filed an amended complaint in
April 2019. The operative, amended complaint asserts violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) in connection with employees’ use of the time clock to clock in and clock out using a finger scan and seeks statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive and equitable relief. An aggrieved party under BIPA may recover (i) $1,000 per violation if the Company is found to have negligently violated BIPA or (ii) $5,000 per violation if the Company is found to have intentionally or recklessly violated BIPA plus reasonable attorneys’ fees. In May 2019, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint. In December 2019, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss. In January 2020, the Company moved for reconsideration of the court’s order denying the motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, to stay the case pending the Illinois Appellate Court’s ruling in McDonald v. Symphony Healthcare on a legal question that would be potentially dispositive in this matter. In February 2020, the court denied the Company’s motion for reconsideration, but required the parties to submit additional briefing on the Company’s motion to stay. In April 2020, the court granted the Company’s motion to stay and stayed the case pending the Illinois Appellate Court’s ruling in McDonald v. Symphony Healthcare. In October 2020, after the McDonald ruling, the court granted the parties’ joint request to continue the stay of the case for 60 days. The court also ordered the parties to schedule a settlement conference with the Magistrate Judge in May 2021 which went forward without a settlement being reached. On May 22, 2023, the Company filed the answer to the amended complaint. Plaintiff and PSI have since reached a preliminary settlement of the case, and Plaintiff filed an Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement on February 23, 2024. On February 5, 2025 Plaintiff filed an Unopposed Motion for Final Approval of the Class Settlement, which the Court granted on February 7, 2025. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had recorded an estimated liability of $2.4 million, recorded within Other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the potential settlement of this matter.
Mast Powertrain v. the Company
In February 2020, the Company received a demand for arbitration from Mast Powertrain, LLC (“Mast”) pursuant to a development agreement entered into in November 2011 (the “Development Agreement”). Mast claimed that it was owed more than $9.0 million in past royalties and other damages for products sold by the Company pursuant to the Development Agreement. The Company disputed Mast’s damages, denied that any royalties are owed to Mast, denied any liability, and counterclaimed for overpayment on invoices paid to Mast. Mast subsequently clarified its claim for past royalties owed to be approximately $4.5 million. In July 2021, the Company reached a settlement with Mast to resolve past claims for royalties owed for $1.5 million which the Company had previously recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year-ended December 31, 2020. The Company fully paid the settlement and had no recognized liability as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023. In September 2023, Mast filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Eastern District of Texas Federal Court, alleging, among other things, damages of approximately $6.0 million for fraudulent inducement leading to the 2021 arbitration settlement agreement and breach of said settlement agreement. Upon court order, the Company participated in separate mediations in May 2024 and December 2024, and no settlement was reached. The Company has filed a motion to stay the lawsuit and compel it to arbitration, and the Court granted that motion on January 31, 2025. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had recorded an estimated liability of $0.9 million, recorded within Other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the potential settlement of this matter.
Gary Winemaster Litigation v. The Company
In August 2021, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer and President, Gary Winemaster (“Winemaster”) filed suit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company and Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (“Travelers”) alleging the Company’s breach of its advancement obligations under Winemaster’s indemnification agreement and Travelers’ breach of the side A policy between Traveler’s and the Company of which Winemaster is a beneficiary. In his complaint, Winemaster was seeking reimbursement under his indemnification agreement in excess of $7.2 million of attorney’s fees plus interest incurred by Winemaster in his defense of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) case, U.S. v. Winemaster et al. Since the filing of the complaint, the Company estimates that Travelers has paid approximately $8.8 million to Winemaster’s attorneys, Latham and Watkins, under the Company’s side A policy to settle existing outstanding attorney’s fees. Travelers is seeking reimbursement from the Company for those advances pursuant to the terms of the side A policy. In October 2021, the Company and Winemaster entered into a Stipulation and Advancement Order to handle all future attorney’s fees relating to his DOJ and SEC cases, to the extent not reimbursed by Travelers under the side A policy. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $8.8 million accrued for the reimbursement to Travelers recorded within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In June 2024, the Company reached a settlement with Travelers for $4.5 million, resulting in a $4.3 million gain that was recorded within Selling, General and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded the aforementioned settlement liability within Other noncurrent liabilities with the current portion within Other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 7. Other Non-Current Liabilities for additional information related to this settlement.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company holds a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, which is renewed annually and currently expires in July 2025. The insurance policy includes standard exclusions including for any previously pending litigation.
Other Commitments
At December 31, 2024, the Company had four outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.4 million. The letters of credit primarily serve as collateral for the Company for certain facility leases and insurance policies. As discussed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information, the Company had restricted cash of $3.2 million at December 31, 2024 related to these letters of credit and cash held in escrow due to a customer agreement.

Net deferred tax liability
$ (1,568) $ (1,478)
The Company’s net deferred tax liability is presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A valuation allowance is required to be established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The guidance on accounting for income taxes provides important factors in determining whether a deferred tax asset will be realized, including whether there has been sufficient taxable income in recent years and whether sufficient income can reasonably be expected in future years in order to utilize the deferred tax asset.
The Company has assessed the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. In making this determination, the Company assessed all of the evidence available at the time, including recent earnings, forecasted income projections, historical performance, and that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company determined that the negative evidence outweighed the objectively verifiable positive evidence and continues to maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company’s valuation allowance is $38.5 million and $54.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has, on a tax-effected basis, $8.0 million in R&D and state tax credit carryforwards which begin to expire in 2025. The Company has $0.6 million and $6.9 million of federal and state (tax effected, net of federal
tax benefit) net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, that are available to offset taxable income in the future. The state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2026. The federal net operating loss carryforwards do not expire.
The change in unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties were as follows:
(in thousands) For the Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023
Balance at beginning of year
$ 1,819 $ 1,660

Additions for tax positions of prior years 12 43
Reduction for tax positions of prior years (264) $ (1)
Balance at end of year
$ 1,696 $ 1,819
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount accrued for interest and penalties was not material. The Company reflects the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as Other noncurrent liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts included in “reductions for tax positions of prior years” represent decreases in the unrecognized tax benefits relating to expiration of the statutes during each year shown, as well as settlements with Illinois tax authorities.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company believes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, could decrease by an immaterial amount in 2025 due to lapses in the statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns, it is possible that there could be other changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2025, but the amount cannot be estimated. Unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate are not expected to be material.
With few exceptions, the major jurisdictions subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities and open tax years, stated as the Company’s fiscal years, are as follows:
Jurisdiction Open Tax Years
U.S. Federal 2014 to 2023
U.S. States 2015 to 2023
Canada 2020
The Company is currently under federal income tax audit for tax years 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Company is currently under Illinois income tax audit for tax years 2015 and 2016.

Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Preferred stock may be designated into one or more series as determined by the Board. As of December 31, 2024, the Board had authorized two series of Preferred stock. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no shares of Preferred stock outstanding.
Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has an incentive compensation plan (the “2012 Plan”), which authorizes the granting of a variety of different types of awards including, but not limited to, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, Stock Appreciation Rights
(“SARs”), Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”), deferred stock and performance units to its executive officers, employees, consultants and Directors. The 2012 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board.
Under the 2012 Plan, 830,925 shares were initially made available for awards, with 700,000 additional shares added to the 2012 Plan in 2013. Shares that were not delivered pursuant to forfeited awards are added back to the pool of shares available for future awards.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 379,516 shares available for issuance of future awards. To date, the Company’s granted awards have generally been either RSAs or SARs.
SAR awards are typically share settled except for certain executives which are settled in cash. Share settlement entitles the recipients to receive, upon exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of shares for which the SAR is being exercised multiplied by the value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise (determined as provided in the SAR award agreement), less (ii) the number of shares for which the SAR is being exercised multiplied by the applicable exercise price, divided by (iii) the value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise (determined as provided in the SAR award agreement). The exercised SAR is to be settled only in whole shares of Common Stock, and the value of any fractional share of Common Stock is forfeited. Cash settled awards are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a liability and adjusted each reporting period for changes in share value until the settlement of the award.
RSA grants represent Common Stock issued subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions.
Both SAR awards and RSA grants are time-based awards that generally vest over a 2 to 3-year vesting schedule (except grants to members of the Board which have a 1-year vesting schedule). SAR awards generally have a term of 10 years. Compensation expense for recipients of these time-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period from the date of grant. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur rather than apply an estimated forfeiture rate. Stock-based compensation expense is primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
RSAs are valued based on the fair value of the common stock at grant date.
For all SAR award assumptions, the Company used rates on the grant date of zero-coupon government bonds with maturities over periods covering the term of the awards. The Company considered the historical volatility of its stock price over a term similar to the expected life of the awards in determining expected volatility. The expected term is the period that the awards granted are expected to remain outstanding. The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock.
The following table represents stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefits:

SAR Awards
The Company did not grant any SAR awards in 2024, and granted 101,663 SAR awards in 2023. The SAR awards granted for the year ended December 31, 2023 were all liability classified awards and remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining contractual term for the awards granted in 2023 was 8.32 years, the aggregate intrinsic value was zero and the unrecognized compensation expense was $1.0 million.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to RSAs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized was approximately 0.52 years.
Note 15. Earnings Per Share
The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the year. Weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding primarily reflect the additional shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of unvested share awards. The treasury stock method has been used to compute diluted earnings per share for 2024 and 2023.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
(in thousands, except per share basis) For the Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023
Numerator:
Net income - basic and diluted $ 69,279 $ 26,306
Denominator:

Earnings per common share
Earnings per share of common stock - basic $ 3.01 $ 1.15
Earnings per share of common stock - diluted $ 3.01 $ 1.15
The aggregate number of shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because they would have been anti-dilutive were less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, SARs and RSAs were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations as they would have been anti-dilutive because the Company’s average stock price was less than or equal to the exercise price of the SARs or the grant price of the RSAs.

Note 17. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of a business that can earn revenues and incur expenses for which discrete financial information is available that is reviewed on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company operates as one business and geographic operating and reportable segment.
Chief Operating Decision Maker
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO oversees the strategic planning and direction of the Company, and the CEO has final approval in assessing the Company’s performance and allocating its resources.
Identification of Reportable Segment
The Company’s single reportable segment derives revenues primarily in North America from customers by designing, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and selling a broad range of advanced, emission-certified engines and power systems that are powered by a wide variety of clean, alternative fuels, including natural gas, propane, and biofuels, as well as gasoline and diesel options, within the power systems, industrial and transportation end markets. Revenue is attributed to geographic areas based on the country of sale. The sources of external revenue by end market and geographic area are previously disclosed in Note 2. Revenue.
The Company evaluated the basis for the CODM's decisions about the allocation of Company resources as well as the basis for the CODM's assessments of the evaluation of the Company's (segment) performance. Specifically, the Company evaluated the financial information that is generally provided and / or is available to the CODM. The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated statements of income to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance.
Measurement
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources primarily using consolidated revenue by end market and consolidated net income (loss). The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to monitor budget and forecast information to actual results. The CODM reviews cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and total debt; however other long-lived asset information is not reviewed by the CODM.
The accounting policies of the Company’s single reportable segment are the same as those described in the Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information. The measure of segment assets is consolidated total assets presented in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1 Concentrations discloses customers individually accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.
Significant Expenses
Significant segment expenses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Note 18. Subsequent Events
In January 2025, the Company entered into a five-year purchase agreement with SWIEC, for the exclusive purchase and distribution of certain engine and engine components for the fulfillment of a contract with a customer in North America. The supply agreement includes annual minimum requirements of products ordered during the initial term. If all minimum targets are
met within the first three-year periods, the contract may be negotiated to extend beyond the five-year initial term. The annual minimum requirements are as follows:
(in thousands)
Year Ending December 31,
2025 $ 19,023
2026 49,937
2027 49,937
2028 95,117
2029 95,117
Total $ 309,131
In February 2025, the Company entered into the MOR agreement with Weichai. The MOR agreement requires the Company to pay Weichai a fee of 1.75% of gross revenues generated by the sale of certain engines manufactured by Weichai. Fees are due on a quarterly basis. The MOR agreement further requires the 1.75% fee to be paid for applicable 2024 sales of these engines. The 2024 fee is less than $0.1 million. The MOR agreement expires in December 2029.
In February 2025, the Company made additional payments totaling $10.0 million related to the SLA. The outstanding balance under the SLA is $15.0 million as of March 24, 2025.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as “controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.” The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on the criteria established by the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”).
As a result of management’s review of the Company’s financial and accounting records and the other work completed by the management team and its advisers, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
