Earnings Results Conference Call Webcast to be Held on February 19, 2025

Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company” or “Capstone”) (PINK: CGEH), the public successor to Capstone Green Energy Corporation, announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (the third quarter of fiscal year 2025). The Company continues to focus on driving its Three Pillar strategy: (1) financial health, (2) sustainable excellence, and (3) re-imagining culture and talent. These Three Pillars are intended to create results that drive strong sustainable financial performance.

Revenue for the third quarter and year-to-date of fiscal year 2025 was $20.1 million and $58.5 million, respectively. Compared to the third quarter and year-to-date revenues in the fiscal year 2024, of $14.6 million and $66.9 million, respectively. The third quarter revenue improved year-over-year on increased demand for products and services. Year-to-date revenue was $8.4 million less due to the effects of the restructuring activities completed in fiscal 2024 which reduced demand in the first half of fiscal year 2025.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights:

• Gross profit for the third quarter ended December 31, 2024, of fiscal 2025 was $5.0 million, which was $2.0 million higher than same period last year. Further, gross margin was 25%, which was a 4% improvement over same period prior year. The $2.0 million gross profit increase was driven by higher volumes and improving productivity from operations. Gross margin improvement was mainly due to the effects of the product price increases applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as well as improved financial and business disciplined activities in rentals, service agreements, and parts business categories.
• The Company delivered a net loss of $2.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to net income of $24.2 million in the prior year. The third quarter of fiscal 2024 included a gain on reorganization items of $32.6 million. Excluding the effect of the extraordinary gain and reorganized expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the net loss improved year-over-year by $8.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 improved to $0.5 million from negative $0.2 million in the third quarter of last year, primarily due to improved gross margin and lower operating expenses.
• Total cash as of December 31, 2024, was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million from March 31, 2024.

Third Quarter Year-to-Date Fiscal 2025 Highlights:

• Gross Profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 year-to-date was $15.8 million with a margin of 27% compared to gross profit of $11.7 million and a margin of 18% in prior year. The increase of $4.1 million over fiscal 2024 year-to-date was driven by a shift in sales mix. Product sales as a percent of total revenue declined to 43% in fiscal 2025 from 50% in fiscal 2024. As stated earlier, this was mainly due to the effects on demand of the restructuring activities completed in fiscal 2024 in the first half of fiscal 2025.
• Net loss was $7.1 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, compared to a net income of $12.7 million for the same period of fiscal year 2024, which included reorganization income of $33.0 million. Excluding the extraordinary gain and reorganization expenses, the net loss improved by $13.2 million, driven by improved gross profit, lower total operating expenses, and lower interest costs.
• Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 year-to-date improved significantly to $5.1 million from $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 YTD.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, a $24.3 million improvement from the same nine months of fiscal 2024, which recorded cash used in operating activities of $22.1 million. This positive change was mainly a result of the reduced net loss and improved working capital.
• The Company continues to remain compliant with its financial covenants.

“We are pleased with the Company's third-quarter results for fiscal 2025, which reflect the improvements in product sales and services. Increased revenue and the continued execution of our corporate initiatives focused on financial and commercial discipline has improved gross profit and gross profit margin,” said John Juric, Chief Financial Officer of Capstone. “Additionally, we are pleased that Capstone stock began trading on the OTC Pink market on January 6, 2025.”

"The results from Q3 fiscal 2025 demonstrate the steady improvements we are making in the business in terms of financial health, sustainable excellence, building culture and talent that is focused on accountability," said Vince Canino, President & Chief Executive Officer of Capstone.

Cautionary Notes

This release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “goal” and similar terms and phrases, but such words, terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Company’s liquidity position and ability to access capital; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability to successfully remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of its financial restructuring; the Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by covenants contained in the exit financing and the new subsidiary limited liability company agreement; employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel following the restructuring; the Company's ability to develop new products and enhance existing products; product quality issues, including the adequacy of reserves therefor and warranty cost exposure; intense competition; financial performance of the oil and natural gas industry and other general business, industry and economic conditions; including the impacts of any changes in tariff policies; the impact of litigation and regulatory proceedings; inquiries from the SEC; the potential material adverse effect on the price of the Company’s common stock and stockholder lawsuits. For a detailed discussion of factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changed circumstances or future events or for any other reason.

To supplement the Company’s unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the Company’s financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company’s economic performance year-over-year.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, restructuring, financing, shareholder litigation, non-recurring legal, restatement and SEC investigation expenses, and reorganization items. Restructuring expenses relate to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and financing expenses related to the evaluation and negotiation of the Company’s senior indebtedness. Shareholder litigation expense resulted from the restatement of the Company's financials and non-recurring legal expenses are one-time non-recurring legal fees. Restatement expenses are professional fees related to the restatement of the Company’s prior year financials. SEC investigation expenses relate to the costs arising from the restatement of the Company's financials. Reorganization items represent adjustments occurring during the bankruptcy period.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.

While management believes that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the methods of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
