Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
I think it has benefited in the market as lead times in general, have extended and kind of continued to extend
Our first quarter revenue of over $30 million was driven by strong new energy power system shipments
We began fiscal year 2023 with strong orders momentum and notably improved margin performance
We have a robust pipeline of opportunities, thanks to strong market demand and we are aggressively going after those opportunities
Factors such as our sales leverage, our backlog, and the benefit of previous price increases were all positive influences to our first quarter financial performance
Overall, the business is performing very well
We are very excited about the hard work that we have put in and starting to pay off the mood and the spirit of core here is really strong and really happy
Our current backlog is strong and well diversified
And on the wind side, kind of in summary, we have robust 2 megawatts demand, with upside growth opportunities there
And our demonstrated margin performance
This represents an exciting new opportunity for New Energy Power Systems
We are optimistic about our company’s future based upon market demand
We have been talking about getting to this inflection point to grow to this level and get margins in a more healthy range, which we have been able to deliver on in Q1
We see strong diversity of revenues
A lot of the hard work is starting to pay off this year, which we are tremendously excited about
Inox has done some corporate restructuring within their entity, which they believe will put them in a stronger financial position
It really feels like we’ve turned the corner and are very excited about our future
For a lot of our competitors, we still have, I think a competitive advantage and that we can turn orders faster than typically the companies that we would compete against
We have a nice stable business
Gross margin for this quarter was favorably impacted by increased revenues and a more favorable product mix in our grid business unit driven by continued revenue growth at both NEPSI and Neeltran
You are now seeing the benefit of the work that’s been done over the past more than a year to be able to better manage cross supply chain availability, and then translate that into more proper pricing to customers
In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we experienced more favorable contribution margins as we shipped post-acquisition Neeltran backlog
To answer your question on Neeltran, Neeltran’s margins improved, because we have had a higher percentage of what shipped go out on the post-acquisition backlog, there is still some tail on the post – on the pre-acquisition backlog, that’s been coming in significantly incentive, that should not be a driver in how we discuss our results moving forward
We significantly narrowed our operating cash burn during the first quarter and expect better performance and similar revenue levels during the second quarter
We are executing on our vision, and believe that our creativity can meet today’s challenges and help us progress to a better future
We believe the march towards a more sustainable world will be a driver for the markets we serve in the foreseeable future
That’s why we believe to be well positioned for the longer-term
So, I think that’s great news for the company with larger project size and more content per project
We believe we will continue to realize the benefits of previous price increases

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
As I mentioned in previous calls, throughout fiscal 2022, we have been shipping off the originally acquired Neeltran backlog, which had depressed contribution margins
Our net loss on that revenue is expected not to exceed $5.3 million or $0.19 per share
Our net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $5.4 million or $0.19 per share
This compares to a net loss of $8.7 million or $0.32 per share in the year ago quarter
I think probably the most telling feedback I can give you that’s kind of new on the product is, the value equation that we originally calculated for REG is probably much less than we thought
But again, the lead times for those products could be in excess of a year
Our non-GAAP net loss is expected not to exceed $3.5 million or $0.12 per share
Our non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.1 million or $0.08 per share compared with $6.8 million or $0.25 per share in the year ago quarter
