| That the starting Q4, not only we are seeking a very strong Q4 and even Q1 next year, but also we are looking at a very healthy balance sheet |
| Of our $13.9 million revenue for the quarter, we continued to benefit from our IPP assets, particularly our U.K |
| 50 megawatt Branston project and our China 156 megawatt portfolio of rooftop solar assets, which combined, generated $9.4 million revenue in the quarter with strong margins |
| So anyway, we do have foreseen that 2024, not only Q1, will be strong, but also the whole year of 2024 will be a good year for the company |
| That's why we feel strong and more positive for the performance of 2024 |
| That is why instead of a slow quarter in Q1, we expect a very strong quarter in Q1 |
| So at this moment, we're very positive about Q1 |
| So in Q4, until yesterday, we bought additional 700,000 shares, so we're very confident |
| That is very -- we feel very comfortable by presenting those operating cash flow positive situation, plus a very healthy balance sheet, which will start collecting cash from old friends in the U.S |
| We have grown our advanced-stage storage pipeline significantly since last quarter to 3.8 gigawatt hour, which will contribute to our overall success |
| Secondly, we're also very confident about our cash level going back up from Q3 |
| Furthermore, we remain steadfast in our commitment to executing our storage business strategies, solidifying our dedication to sustainable and innovative energy solutions |
| That is cash flow positive -- operating cash flow positive will be achieved starting Q4, and going into Q1 next year |
| That is a very attractive price, which is about 20% to 30% higher, compared to three to four years ago |
| So it's very favorable for us to do party development in those countries |
| Another one is that we do see on global basis, the oversupply of old supply chain is helping us not only cutting the CapEx, but also solidify the expectation from the investors |
| Ke Chen Pavel, I just want to add we are very strong in Poland and the Hungary market |
| Yumin Liu We still see the off-take price remains to be very strong, especially in comparing the same numbers back to three or four years ago |
| This is very good |
| Yumin Liu Yes, we have not given any 2024 guidance, but we believe Q1 2024 will very strong because of timing of closing this project being pushed up in the first quarter |
| This portfolio is strategically located in the Italian Southern region of Apulia, significantly enhancing the regional energy infrastructure |
| And so we're confident we can do both |
| These solar storage projects are major milestones for us and represent a defining chapter in our journey towards becoming a leading global renewable energy company and storage powerhouse |
| But that'll be a happy surprise |
| It has been strategically designed to yield high returns through daily price arbitration, emphasizing our commitment to sustainable and financially responsible energy solutions |
| Furthermore, we recently announced the successful sale of a state-of-the-art portfolio comprising five Battery Energy Storage Systems or BESS in Italy to Matrix Renewables with a total capacity of 410 megawatt |
| Ke Chen Yes, Donovan, we're very confident about our future, so we continue doing a buyback |
| So that absolutely helped from our side as we are taking significantly EPC activities in Poland and Hungary right now |
| We hope we can present you guys some good news in the next two, three months |
| Ke Chen I think in general we look very positively in 2024 |

| Our revenue was below our guidance, mainly due to the timing of our final government approval for our 53 megawatt solar NTP product portfolio in Hungary |
| Our revenue of $13.9 million decreased 42% year over year from Q3 2022 and 59% sequentially from Q2 2023 |
| Second, we recorded a $4.5 million one-time expense from impairment and write-off of assets of several pending projects as a result of permitting challenges |
| The lower-than-guided revenue was primarily due to extended permit approval process for a 53 megawatt NTP project in Hungary, which was elaborated by Yumin earlier |
| And slow execution, I do not think that will be the case, although this year it is happening to almost all sectors |
| And we do have seen some slower execution from the investors |
| I think we lost you |
| Philip Shen On the impairment, you had $4.5 million of a one-time expense due to our permitting challenges |
| Pavel Molchanov The global financial crisis |
| First, we recorded a $4.8 million foreign exchange loss as a result of a strong dollar |
| Our Q3 results were further impacted by several one-time non-cash expenses |
| So as we get through ‘24, do you think there's risk that pricing power in Europe becomes weaker or stronger? Thanks |
| Electricity prices have obviously come down substantially in Europe since the PPAs that you were signing 12-months ago |
| But long-term PPA price is not very attractive to us at this time |
| What about 24? Do you think there is greater risk of permitting challenges in ‘24? And what do you attribute these challenges to? Like what were the circumstances that caused these permits to become impaired? Thanks |
| Normally Q1 is a slow quarter in the whole four quarters of the year |
| As we know that the CapEx is going down to the level even more competitive than three, four years ago, while the off-take price is compared to three, four years ago even higher |
| But also we do expect the tailwind from the policy front and from the execution by the team will be stretched in 2024 across the board in both U.S., Europe, and even China |
| The cost of our module price about 20%, 30% lower than three years ago |
| These pushouts and any slowdown that you may be seeing, obviously, some of it is related to the interest rate environment |
