19. Restructuring

In March 2025, the Company announced the 2025 Restructuring Plan. The 2025 Restructuring Plan includes initiatives to reduce our workforce, realign the Company’s manufacturing footprint and streamline the organization to enhance operational efficiency and improve overall liquidity. We began executing the 2025 Restructuring Plan in March 2025 and expect the 2025 Restructuring Plan to be completed in the second half of 2025, subject to local law and consultation requirements.

In February 2024, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”). The 2024 Restructuring Plan includes strategic moves to enhance our financial performance and ensure long-term value creation in a competitive market. We approved a comprehensive initiative that encompassed a broad range of measures, including operational consolidation, strategic workforce adjustments, and various other cost-saving actions). These measures were aimed at increasing efficiency, improving scalability, and maintaining our leadership position in the renewable energy industry. We began executing the 2024 Restructuring Plan in February 2024 and it was effectively completed during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The determination of when we accrue for involuntary termination benefits under restructuring plans depends on whether the termination benefits are provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement. We account for involuntary termination benefits that are provided pursuant to one-time benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”) whereas involuntary termination benefits that are part of an ongoing written or substantive plan are accounted for in accordance with ASC 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits (“ASC 712”). We accrue a liability for termination benefits under ASC 420 in the period in which the plan is communicated to the employees and the plan is not expected to change significantly. For ongoing benefit arrangements, inclusive of statutory requirements, we accrue a liability for termination benefits under ASC 712 when the existing situation or set of circumstances indicates that an obligation has been incurred, it is probable the benefits will be paid, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The restructuring charges that have been incurred but not yet paid are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, as they are expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $17.2 million and $6.0 million in restructuring costs, respectively, in the restructuring financial statement line item in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table reflects the category of restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2025, total accrued expenses related to restructuring activities were comprised of (1) $14.5 million of employee severance and benefit arrangements, (2) $0.3 million of legal and professional services costs, and (3) $1.1 million of contract termination costs.

We estimate that we will incur future restructuring costs related to employee severance and benefit arrangements in the range of $1.4 million to $3.0 million. In addition, we expect to incur future restructuring costs related to legal and professional fees and contract termination costs as well as facility exit costs during 2025; however, the Company cannot estimate the total amount expected to be incurred as cost reduction actions continue to be evaluated. The Company anticipates completing these restructuring activities in the second half of 2025. The actual timing and amount of costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material.
