In April 2026, the board appointed Anthony Carroll as President and CEO, bringing strong renewables experience with a proven track record of scaling operations and driving value creation. The company expects Q1 2026 to be the revenue low point and projects full-year 2026 revenue growth of about 40% versus 2025. Carroll is tasked with operationalizing the company's $543 million backlog and pivoting the cost structure toward efficiency.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company reported $33.4 million of cash used in operations in 2025, year-end cash of $21.1 million, and management states there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Q1 2026 showed GAAP gross loss of $1.2 million and adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.2 million. While growth prospects and backlog are encouraging, severe liquidity constraints and operational losses present existential near-term risks.
