Acquisition of Foresight Energy Ltd.
On January 25, 2023 (“Acquisition Closing Date”), Legacy Tigo completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Foresight Energy Ltd. (“fSight”). Total consideration paid for the acquisition was approximately $13.7 million, which consisted of 5.6 million shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 1.3 million shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) issued at the Acquisition Closing Date, 0.7 million shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 0.2 million shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) to be issued 12 months from the Acquisition Closing Date and 0.4 million shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 0.1 million shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) to be issued 18 months from the Acquisition Closing Date, in addition to $0.5 million in relation to a loan that was issued by the Company to fSight prior to the acquisition closing, and was deemed settled immediately following the Acquisition Closing Date. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting.
fSight is an energy data analytics software company based in Had HaSharon, Israel. Legacy Tigo’s acquisition of fSight is expected to expand its ability to leverage energy consumption and production data for solar energy producers, adding a powerful prediction platform that provides rich and actionable system performance data, from the grid down to the module level. See Note 4, “Acquisition of Foresight Energy, Ltd.,” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part 2, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
The Business Combination
On December 5, 2022, Roth CH Acquisition IV Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCG”), Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy Tigo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on April 6, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on May 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Tigo (the “Merger”), with Legacy Tigo surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (the Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, ROCG changed its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.”
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), Legacy Tigo (i) caused each share of Legacy Tigo preferred stock issued and outstanding to
59
be automatically converted into a number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock (the “Legacy Tigo common stock”) in accordance with Legacy Tigo’s charter (the “preferred stock conversion”) and (ii) used reasonable best efforts to cause the “cashless” exercise of Legacy Tigo warrants (each, a “Legacy Tigo warrant”), in accordance with their terms, for Legacy Tigo common stock (the “warrant exercise”). As of the closing date of the Business Combination, all holders of Legacy Tigo have exercised such warrants for shares of Legacy Tigo common stock.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued in the preferred stock conversion and warrant exercise prior to the closing but excluding shares owned by Legacy Tigo or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Tigo as treasury stock, shares owned by ROCG, and shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as it may be amended from time to time, the “DGCL”) and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights) were canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.233335 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).
At the Effective Time, each outstanding Legacy Tigo stock option (each, a “Legacy Tigo stock option”), whether vested or unvested, converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo stock option immediately prior to the Closing and (y) 0.233335, at an exercise price per share equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo stock option immediately prior to the Closing divided by (B) 0.233335.
At the Effective Time, after giving effect to the warrant exercise, each outstanding Legacy Tigo warrant to purchase Legacy Tigo common stock, whether or not exercisable, converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo warrant immediately prior to the Closing and (y) 0.233335.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and Legacy Tigo survived the Business Combination and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (also herein after referred to as the “Combined Company”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company was renamed “Tigo Energy, Inc.” Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 58,144,543 issued and outstanding shares of New Tigo common stock.
Accounting Impact of the Business Combination
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Under the guidance in ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, ROCG, which is the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Legacy Tigo was treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the following:
(i)
Legacy Tigo having a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company;
(ii)
Legacy Tigo’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the Combined Company;
(iii)
Legacy Tigo’s relative size compared to ROCG; and
(iv)
Legacy Tigo’s operations comprising the ongoing operation of the post-combination company.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which we are issuing stock for the net assets of ROCG. The net assets of ROCG were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be the Company’s.
60
The most significant change in the Company’s financial position and results upon consummation of the business combination is the conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common stock and additional paid in capital (as compared to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022).
Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Combined Company is an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company. The Company has hired and expects to hire additional staff and implement new processes and procedures to address public company requirements in anticipation of and following the completion of the Business Combination. The Company also has incurred and expects to incur substantial additional expenses for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, internal control compliance, and additional costs for investor relations, accounting, audit, legal and other functions.
Common Stock Warrant Redemption
In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed 5,750,000 Public Warrants and 18,750 Private Warrants, which, in each case, entitled the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions, the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants. On August 9, 2023, we announced the redemption of all outstanding Public Warrants and Private Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we were entitled to redeem all outstanding Warrants for $0.01 per Warrant if the reported closing price of our Common Stock was at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. This performance threshold was achieved following the market close on August 4, 2023. A total of 324,546 Warrants were exercised through September 8, 2023, resulting in proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $3.7 million. All other Warrants were redeemed on September 8, 2023. We paid $0.1 million for the remaining Warrants that were not exercised as of September 8, 2023, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheet.
Key Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations
Our financial results of operations may not be comparable from period to period due to several factors. Key factors affecting our results of operations are summarized below.
Demand for Products. The demand for our products in Europe and the United States experienced a notable slowdown beginning in the second quarter of 2023. In Europe, the slowdown was primarily attributable to a decrease in customer purchases in the second half of 2023 primarily due to an overall surplus in the inventory channel. Additionally, there has been uncertainty surrounding the net energy metering policies and solar export penalties in the European markets, such as Germany, Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom, which also contributed to the overall slowdown in demand in Europe. In the United States, the slowdown was primarily attributable due to higher interest rates than recent prior periods and the transition from NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 in California. The factors noted above have led to elevated inventory levels with distributors and installers in both regions. Given these factors, revenues may to continue to be adversely affected into 2024.
In response to the factors noted above, we reduced staffing levels across all geographies in December 2023 by approximately 15% to better align our cost structure with the current environment. As a result, we expect to reduce cash expenditures by approximately $3.8 million in 2024.
Unfavorable Macroeconomic and Market Conditions. The global macroeconomic and market uncertainty, including higher interest rates and inflation, has caused disruptions in financial markets and may continue to have an adverse effect on the U.S. and world economies. Starting in the second quarter of 2023 and continuing throughout the year, we experienced a significant number of customer requests to delay purchase order deliveries to the fourth quarter of 2023 or early 2024, in addition to a smaller number of unanticipated purchase order cancellations and returns. Other customers may decide to delay purchasing our products and services or not purchase at all. A tighter credit market for consumer and business spending could, in turn, adversely affect spending levels of installers and end users and lead to increased price competition for our products. Reductions in customer spending in response to unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic and market conditions, globally or in a particular region where we operate, have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
61
Managing Supply Chain. We rely on contract manufacturers and suppliers to produce our components. Our ability to grow depends, in part, on the ability of our contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide high quality services and deliver components and finished products on time and at reasonable costs. While we have diversified our supply chain, some of our suppliers and contract manufacturers are sole-source suppliers. Our concentration of suppliers could lead to supply shortages, long lead times for components and supply changes. A significant portion of our supply chain originates in Thailand and China. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays and/or price increases in raw materials, electronic components and freight, it could delay the manufacturing and delivery of our products, which would adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue and gross margin. In addition, in a slowing economic environment, our inventory levels may continue to increase due to existing purchase commitments and our ability to negotiate volume pricing discounts may be impaired.
Expansion of Sales with Existing Customers and Adding New Customers. Our future revenue growth is, in part, dependent on our ability to expand product offerings and services in the U.S. residential market. In our North American market, revenue is generally generated from our product offerings and services in the C&I markets. In order to continue growth of revenues, we plan to expand our presence in the residential market through offerings with residential solar providers. We also expect to continue to evaluate and invest in new market opportunities internationally. We believe that our entry into new markets will continue to facilitate revenue growth and customer diversification. We primarily acquire new customers through collaboration with our industry partners and distributors. While we expect that a substantial portion of our future revenues in the near-term will be generated from our existing customers, we expect to invest in our sales and marketing to broaden reach with new residential customers in the U.S. and customers in EMEA.
Expansion of New Products and Services. We have made substantial investments in research and development and sales and marketing to achieve a leading position in our market and grow revenues. Our revenue is primarily generated from the sales and offerings of our MLPE systems. While we will continue to invest in research and development to expand the capabilities of our existing products and solutions, we intend to continue the development and promotion of our GO ESS product line, including the introduction of the GO ESS EV Charger that launched in the German market in January 2024. We generated revenues from our GO ESS product offerings of $13.4 million and $3.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Key Operating and Financial Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. The Company believes the operating and financial metrics presented are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures used by our public competitors and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.
The following tables sets forth these metrics for the periods presented:
Year Ended December 31, Increase/(Decrease)
(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Amount Percent
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We define gross profit as total net revenue less cost of revenue, and define gross margin, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of gross profit to revenue. Gross profit and margin can be used to understand our financial performance and efficiency and allow investors to evaluate its pricing strategy and compare it against competitors. We use these metrics to make strategic decisions identifying areas for improvement, set targets for future performance and make informed decisions about how to allocate resources going forward.

Key Components and Comparison of Results of Operations
Net Revenue
We generate revenue primarily through the sale of our hardware products, complemented by our web-based monitoring services and SaaS platform, Predict+. Our revenue model is structured around the delivery of fully functional hardware products at the time of shipment, requiring no further modification for customer use. These products are sold mainly to distributors who then resell to end users, with our revenue recognition practices ensuring that revenue is recognized when control of the products is transferred to the customer.
Our revenue is influenced by changes in the sales volume of our products and services, market supply and demand, promotional incentives and the offerings of our competitors. The growth of our revenue is dependent on the following factors:
•
our ability to grow our sales with existing customers and the addition of new customers in current and new markets;
•
our ability to expand upon our current product and service offerings;
•
our ability to manage our supply chain effectively;
•
our ability to sustain our market competitiveness through cost efficiency and continuous innovation in our technology;
•
our ability to navigate macroeconomic trends and the global regulatory environment; and
•
our capability to consistently promote our product and service portfolio, thereby enhancing our brand visibility and establishing a distinct market position.

(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Amount Percent
Net revenue increased by $63.9 million or 78.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher sales volumes as a result of increased acceptance of our products in the marketplace in the first half of 2023 and increased marketing activities. The increase in net revenues was partially offset in the second of half of 2023, when the solar industry experienced a broad-based slowdown in both the U.S. and European markets, that resulted in elevated inventory with distributors and installers, and as a result the overall demand for our products and services decreased as distributors and installers responded to this slower demand environment. In the United States, this slowdown was primarily the result of higher interest rates and the transition from NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 in California. In Europe, this slowdown was primarily the result of a decrease in customer purchases after a surge of sales were realized in 2022 and going into the first half of 2023 due to higher energy prices in Europe related to the onset of the armed conflict in Ukraine in 2022, and overall channel inventory correction.

EMEA – Net revenue for the EMEA region increased by $57.3 million or 110.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, increased in the first half of 2023 primarily due to an overall increase in demand for cost-effective energy solutions as energy costs across the region have increased due to the higher energy prices caused by the armed conflict in Ukraine. The level of demand slowed going into the second half of 2023 due to elevated inventory levels at distributors and installers.
•
Americas – Net revenue for the Americas region increased $2.7 million or 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased orders for our
63
MLPE and GO ESS product lines during the first half of 2023. During the second half of 2023, demand for our solutions slowed primarily due to higher interest rates impacting customers’ investment decisions and the transition from NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 in California.
•
APAC – Net revenue for the APAC region increased $3.9 million or 57.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased orders for our MLPE product line throughout 2023.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of product costs, warranty costs, and logistics costs, as well as inventory write-downs, shipping and handling costs, hosting service costs related to the monitoring service, and depreciation and amortization of manufacturing test equipment. We outsource our manufacturing to third-party contract manufacturers and negotiate product pricing on a quarterly basis. Our product costs are affected by advancement of technology in both our hardware and services, economies of scale resulting in lower component costs, and improvements in our overall manufacturing and production processes.
Key components of our logistics supply channel consist of third-party distribution centers in the U.S., Europe, and China. Finished goods are either shipped to our customers directly from our contract manufacturers or shipped to third-party distribution centers and then distributed to our customers.
Gross profit may fluctuate from one reporting period to the next as the components of net revenue and cost of revenue are affected by market price fluctuations whose changes impact our average selling prices, product cost, product mix, customer mix, warranty costs and freight costs.
Year Ended December 31, Increase/(Decrease)
(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022 Amount Percent
Years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Cost of revenue increased by $37.4 million or 66.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a 68.5% increase in MLPE product sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Gross profit increased by $26.5 million or 107.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to cost reduction efforts on certain products and lower freight costs in the last three quarters of 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of each of these expense categories and include salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, sales commissions, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. Refer below for further details on the separate components of operating expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consistent of personnel-related expenses and facility-related expenses. Research and development employees are primarily engaged in the design and development of our MLPE and GO ESS solutions. We devote substantial resources to research and development programs that focus on enhancements to, and cost efficiencies in, our existing products or services and timely development of new products and services that utilize technological innovation to drive down product costs, improve functionality and enhance reliability. We intend to continue to invest appropriate resources in our research and development efforts because we believe they are critical to maintaining our competitive position.

Change in fair value of preferred stock warrant and contingent shares liability decreased by $2.1 million or 208.7% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of the Series C convertible preferred stock and the incremental increase contributed from the contingent shares related to the fSight acquisition. The Series C convertible preferred stock was converted to shares of Common Stock on May 23, 2023, as part of the Business Combination. See Note 3, “Merger with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Change in fair value of derivative liability was an incremental increase of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The Convertible Promissory Note contained conversion options that met the requirements for separate accounting and is accounted for as a convertible note derivative liability. The derivative instrument was recorded at fair value upon recognition on the Merger Date and was subject to remeasurement at the end of the reporting period. On September 24, 2023, we entered into the Convertible Note Amendment (as defined below) with L1 Energy (as defined below) to modify the conversion terms of the Convertible Promissory Note and, as a result of such amendment, the conversion options no longer meet the requirements to be bifurcated in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The convertible note derivative liability was remeasured immediately prior to the execution of the Convertible Note Amendment. The carrying value of the convertible note derivative liability was reclassified to equity and was recorded into additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 6, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” and Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
The loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2023, is primarily related to the repayment of our Series 2022-1 Notes. The loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2022, was related to the repayment of our Senior Bonds.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily consists of interest expense and the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs incurred on our Convertible Promissory Note. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily consists of interest expense primarily related to our Series 2022-1 Notes.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $2.1 million primarily due to the Company’s marketable securities which were purchased in the second quarter of 2023.
66
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $33.2 million, which were held primarily for working capital purposes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our working capital, which we define as current assets less current liabilities, increased $32.8 million to $78.3 million from $45.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in working capital during 2023 is primarily attributable to higher inventory. During the second half of 2023, we experienced a significant decline in sales activity compared to the first half of 2023 due to an industry-wide inventory oversupply, higher interest rates and governmental changes to net metering programs in the U.S. and Europe. While we have been actively working on reducing our inventory levels, these efforts were constrained by short-term purchase commitments in place during the year. The substantial majority of these commitments have been fulfilled as of December 31, 2023 and we expect lower inventory levels and positive working capital cash conversion in 2024. We believe that our cash position is sufficient to meet our capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the future, our ability to sustain operations and invest in new technologies may necessitate seeking additional equity or debt financing. Our capital needs will be influenced by several factors, including our revenue growth rate, the success of our future product development and capital investments, and the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a public company. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we cannot be certain that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are required but unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows to sustain or expand our business, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Convertible Note. As of December 31, 2023, our Convertible Note obligation was $50.0 million. Upon conversion of the Convertible Note due in 2026, we will pay cash or issue shares of common stock equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note to be converted. Refer to Note 9, in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our outstanding Convertible Note.
Operating Leases. We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases primarily for our facilities with original lease periods expiring through the year 2029, with our most significant leases relating to our facilities in Campbell, California and Ra’anana, Israel. As of December 31, 2023, we had total lease obligations of $2.6 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2023 2022
Net cash used in operating activities $ (37,222 ) $ (16,472 )
Net cash used in investing activities (30,914 ) (1,603 )
Net cash provided by financing activities 34,824 48,318
Management closely monitors expenditures and is focused on obtaining new customers and continuing to develop our products. Cash from operations and our liquidity could also be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic concerns related to interest rates, inflation or the supply chain, including timing of cash collections from customers and other risks which are detailed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Operating cash flows consists primarily of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities increased by $20.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by inventory purchases. During the first half of 2023, we placed purchase commitments with our manufacturing
67
partners at anticipated levels that were higher than needed to fulfill actual sales volumes in the second half of 2023, which led to increased inventory purchases of $22.2 million.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the purchase of marketable securities and property and equipment. This was partially offset by an increase in cash provided by the proceeds from the sale and maturities of a portion of the marketable securities.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we received proceeds of $50.0 million from the Convertible Promissory Note, proceeds of $3.7 million from the redemption of the common stock warrants, and proceeds of $2.2 million from the Merger (as defined above), which was partially offset by the $20.8 million repayment of the Series 2022-1 Notes.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we received proceeds of $41.0 million from the sale of Series E convertible preferred stock and proceeds of $25.0 million from the Series 2022-1 Notes. This was partially offset by the $10.0 million repayment of our Senior Bonds (as defined above), $3.5 million of payments due to financing costs, and $4.2 million in repayment of the Series 2022-1 Notes.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the global impact of inflation, interest rate fluctuations, new regulations, and geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory, net
Our inventories are comprised of sellable finished goods, raw materials bought on behalf of our contract manufacturers, and defective units returned under our warranty policy.
Sellable finished goods and raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, based on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Certain factors could affect the realizable value of our inventories, including market and economic conditions, technological changes, existing product changes (mainly due to cost reduction
68
activities) and new product introductions. We consider historic usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, the effect of new product introductions, product obsolescence, and other factors when evaluating the net realizable value of inventories. Inventory write-downs are equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated net realizable value. Inventory write downs are recorded as cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
We do not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in future estimates or assumptions that we use to record inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. However, if estimates regarding customer demand are inaccurate or changes in technology affect demand for certain products in an unforeseen manner, we may be exposed to potential losses.
See Note 2 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to inventory valuation.
Product Warranties
We provide a standard limited product warranty for our solar products against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service conditions. Our standard warranty period is 25 years for our MLPE devices, 12.5 years for our inverters, and 11 years for our batteries. Other products are sold with standard limited warranties that typically range in duration from five to ten years. In certain cases, customers can purchase an extended warranty for our battery storage products and for our batteries for PV applications that extend the standard warranty period. In addition, customers in the United States can purchase extended warranties for inverters that extend the warranty period for an additional 25 years.
Our products are designed to meet the warranty periods and our reliability procedures cover component selection, design, accelerated life cycle tests, and end-of-manufacturing line testing. However, since our history in selling MLPE devices, batteries, inverters and other hardware is shorter than the warranty period, the calculation of warranty provisions is inherently uncertain.
We accrue estimated warranty costs at the time of sale based on anticipated warranty claims and actual historical warranty claims experience. Warranty provisions, computed on a per-unit sold basis, are based on our best estimate of such costs and are included in our cost of revenues. The warranty obligation is determined based on actual and predicted failure rates of the products, cost of replacement and service and delivery costs incurred to correct a defective product. Our warranty obligation requires management to make assumptions regarding estimated failure rates and replacement costs. If actual warranty costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments may be required in the future, which could adversely affect our gross profit and results of operations. Warranty obligations are classified as short-term and long-term warranty obligations, based on the period in which the warranty is expected to be claimed. The product warranty liability (short and long-term) was $5.6 million and $4.4 million, in the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to product warranty.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which consists of property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment when specific triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying
69
cost amount or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment losses were identified for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
We evaluate the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, we conduct our analysis in the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever there are triggering events or circumstances that may indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. No impairment losses were identified for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We believe the basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives. We routinely review the remaining estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets. In case we reduce the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
The valuation of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets inherently involves a degree of uncertainty, particularly as it relates to the Company’s future undiscounted cash flows and performance. In the second half of 2023, the Company saw a decrease in cash flow generation primarily due to the Company being affected by an industry-wide inventory oversupply, higher interest rates, and other macroeconomic trends. These considerations were factored into the 2023 annual analysis, and we did not believe this has led to impairment of long-lived assets or finite-lived intangible assets, as of the assessment date. If these macroeconomic trends, noted above, persists into 2024, there is a possibility that the Company may record impairment charges against these assets. The Company closely monitors these conditions and is prepared to perform interim impairment tests, as applicable, should there be indications of triggering events leading to impairment.
See Note 2, 8 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to long-lived assets and intangibles.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in addition to liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of fSight.
Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. The goodwill impairment test is performed according to the following principles:
1.
An initial qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount;
2.
If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed. An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized.
As the Company operates as a single reporting unit, with a straightforward business model, the Company used the market approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The market approach allows the use of the market price of an individual equity security at the assessment date to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company used the closing stock price at the date of assessment to calculate our fair value. As the Company is considered one reporting unit, we used the consolidated balance sheet to derive the carrying amount of the reporting unit, with the inclusion of goodwill.
We complete the required annual testing of goodwill impairment for the reporting unit in the fourth quarter of each year to determine if goodwill should be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no impairment of goodwill has been identified. For the annual test impairment test that was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2023, fair value exceeded the carrying value by 64.7%.
70
The valuation of goodwill inherently involves a degree of uncertainty, particularly as it relates to the Company’s stock price and the calculation of the Company’s fair value. Throughout 2023, the Company’s stock price has decreased primarily due to the performance of the Company being affected by an industry-wide inventory oversupply, higher interest rates, and other macroeconomic trends. Additionally, should the Company’s share price continue to decline, reflecting broader industry or economic concerns, this could indicate a decline in the fair value of the reporting unit, potentially leading to an impairment of goodwill. The Company closely monitors these conditions and is prepared to perform interim impairment tests should there be indications that the fair value of the reporting unit may have declined below its carrying amount.
See Note 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to goodwill.
Business Combinations
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles, and liabilities acquired also requires us to make estimates, which are based on all available information and in some cases assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset. We utilized multiple valuation methods to include the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method, Distributor Method and the Replacement Costs method to develop the fair value of intangibles.
Accounting for business acquisitions requires us to make judgments as to whether a purchase transaction is a multiple element contract, meaning that it includes other transaction components. This judgment and determination affect the amount of consideration paid that is allocable to assets and liabilities acquired in the business purchase transaction. Additional information existing as of the acquisition date but unknown to us may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, which may result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded.
Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable at that time, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. As a result, actual results may differ from estimates.
See Note 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to our business combination.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method as required by ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period corresponding to the enactment date.
Valuation Allowance
We establish an income tax valuation allowance when available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider the amounts and timing of expected future deductions or carryforwards and sources of taxable income that may enable utilization. We maintain an existing valuation allowance until enough positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Changes in the amount or timing of expected future deductions or taxable income may have a material impact on the level of income tax valuation allowances. Our assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax assets requires judgment about our future results. Inherent in this estimation is the requirement for us to estimate future book and taxable income and possible tax planning strategies. These estimates require us to exercise judgment about our
71
future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic environment in which we do business. It is possible that the actual results will differ from the assumptions and require adjustments to the allowance. Adjustments to the allowance would affect future net income.
As of December 31, 2023, our net DTA balance on a consolidated basis was $21,000, after reduction of a valuation allowance of $24.3 million. Significant domestic DTAs were generated, primarily due to net operating losses, research and development tax credits, along with capitalized expenditures including research and development. We assessed the ability to realize the benefits of our DTAs in each reporting period by evaluating all available positive and negative evidence, objective and subjective in nature, including, but not limited to, (1) cumulative results of operations in recent years, (2) sources of recent pre-tax income, (3) estimates of future taxable income, (4) respective carryback and/or carryforward periods of tax attributes available to date, and (5) limitation on NOL utilization against taxable income. We measured our current DTA balances against estimates of future income based on objectively verifiable operating results from our recent history, and concluded that sufficient future taxable income will not be generated to realize the benefits of our federal, state and certain foreign DTAs. Therefore, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against our domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 that prescribes a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement process for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on our income tax returns. We recognize income tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if we believe that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. We include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The calculation of our current provision for income taxes involves the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments while taking into account current tax laws, interpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of future tax audits. We have established reserves to address potential exposures related to tax positions that could be challenged by tax authorities. Although we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgments to be reasonable, any changes in tax law or interpretation of tax law and the resolutions of potential tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements.
See Note 2 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to income taxes.

TIGO ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Nature of Operations
Tigo Energy, Inc. (f/k/a Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.) and subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) consists of Tigo Energy, Inc. (“Tigo”), its wholly-owned direct subsidiary: Tigo Energy MergeCo, Inc. (f/k/a Tigo Energy, Inc.) (“Legacy Tigo”), and its wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries: Tigo Energy Israel Ltd., Foresight Energy, Ltd. (“fSight”), Tigo Energy Italy SRL, Tigo Energy Systems Trading (Suzhou) and Tigo Energy Australia Pty Ltd. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below), the operations of the Company were conducted through Legacy Tigo. Legacy Tigo was incorporated in Delaware in 2007 and commenced operations in 2010.
The Company provides solar and energy storage solutions, including module level power electronics (“MLPE”) designed to maximize the energy output of individual solar modules, delivering more energy, active management, and enhanced safety for utility, commercial, and residential solar arrays. The Company is headquartered in Campbell, California with offices in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 5, 2022, Roth CH Acquisition IV Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCG”), Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy Tigo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on April 6, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on May 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Tigo (the “Merger”), with Legacy Tigo surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (the Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, ROCG changed its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.”
Please refer to Note 3 “Merger with ROTH CH Acquisition IV Co.” for additional details regarding the Business Combination.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination, the merger between ROCG and Legacy Tigo was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, ROCG was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Tigo issuing stock for the net assets of ROCG, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCG are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Legacy Tigo. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively recasted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.Please refer to Note 3 “Merger with ROTH CH Acquisition IV Co.” for additional details regarding the Business Combination.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has determined the functional currency of the subsidiaries to be the U.S. dollar. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities of its foreign operations at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at their historical exchange rates. Expenses are remeasured at the
81
weighted-average exchange rates during the relevant reporting period. These remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates in the consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of investments, allowance for credit allowances, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, product warrant liabilities, incremental borrowing rate for right-of-use assets and lease liability, and the valuation of the derivative liability, valuation allowance, income tax benefit (provision), preferred stock warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation, including the underlying fair value of the preferred and common stock. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties.
Reclassification, Change in Presentation and Prior Year Omitted Disclosures
Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation as follows. Customer deposits in previous periods were recorded in other accrued liabilities within the consolidated balance sheet. Customer deposits are now recorded in deferred revenue, current portion and deferred revenue, net of current portion within the consolidated balance sheet. The amount of customer deposits that was reclassified to deferred revenue, current portion on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was $0.9 million.
Disclosures including the roll-forward related to allowance for credit losses (refer to “Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses” in this Note) and long-lived assets by geographic region (refer to “Long-lived assets” in Note 16) were omitted from our prior year financials for the year ended December 31, 2022. The disclosures have been included for the year ended December 31, 2023 and include the comparative period for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, there was a change in presentation related to the disclosure for supplementary balance sheet information related to Inventory (refer to “Inventory, net” in Note 8) for the year-ended December 31, 2022 to net the inventory reserve against the individual inventory classes instead of separately disclosing the reserve balance. These adjustments had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or cash flows as there was no change in the amounts recorded. The Company has determined that these adjustments were immaterial both individually and in the aggregate.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk beyond the normalcredit risk associated with commercial banking relationships as the Company’s cash and
82
restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk due to the high credit quality of the financial instruments in which the money is held. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held insignificant cash in foreign bank accounts. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no individual customers that exceeded 10% of the Company’s annual net revenue.During the year ended December 31, 2022, there was one individual customer that exceeded 10% of the Company’s annual net revenue. This customer accounted for 10.6% of annual net revenue. Accounts receivable from this customer represented 13.0% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company views and manages its operations as a single operating segment. Please refer to Note 16 “Segment and Geographic Information” for additional details.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurement based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs or methodology used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with those financial instruments. The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:
•
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities.
•
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Management believes that the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash. Cash consists primarily of amounts in checking and savings accounts.
Restricted Cash and Reconciliation to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Restricted cash represents amounts held on deposit at a commercial bank used to secure the Company’s Senior Bonds for the year ended December 31, 2022. Please refer to Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding the Company's Senior Bonds. The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amount presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows:
83
Year Ended December 31,
Restricted cash — 1,523
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. agency securities and corporate bonds that are classified as available-for-sale. The securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). Realized gains, losses, and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that the Company considers to be “other than temporary,” the Company reduces the investment to fair value through a charge to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, do not bear interest, and are typically due 30 days from the invoice date. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and maintains an allowance for anticipated credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances and the customers’ financial condition, all of which are subject to change. Additionally, the Company monitors activities and considers future reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions to adjust all general and customer specific reserve percentages, as necessary. Balances recorded for estimated credit losses are written-off when they are determined to be uncollectible. The following table sets forth activities in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated:
Year Ended December 31,
Allowance for credit losses, beginning balance $ 76 $ 109
Net charges to expense or revenue 3,960 596
Write-offs, net of recoveries (25 ) (629 )
Allowance for credit losses, ending balance $ 4,011 $ 76
Inventory, net
In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2015-11, inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”) with cost determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The determination of NRV involves numerous judgments, including estimated average selling prices based upon recent sales volumes, industry trends, existing customer orders, current contract price, future demand, pricing for the Company’s products and technological obsolescence of the Company’s products. Inventory that is obsolete, in excess of the Company’s forecasted demand or is anticipated to be sold at a loss is written down to its NRV based on expected demand and selling prices.
Deferred Issuance Costs
The Company capitalizes costs that are directly associated with in-process equity financings until such financings are consummated, at which time such costs are recorded against the gross proceeds from the applicable financing. If a financing is abandoned, deferred financing costs are expensed immediately. The Company incurred $2.2 million in fees associated with the Merger, which are recognized as deferred issuance costs in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2022. Deferred issuance costs associated with our debt financing are recorded as contra-liabilities within long-term debt, net of current maturities and unamortized debt issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheet. All amortization of deferred issuance costs is presented within the interest expense line in the consolidated statement of operations.
84
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes amounts paid to acquire or construct the asset as well as any expenditure that substantially adds to the value of or significantly extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or expected useful life of the improvements.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments over the lease term.
Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Operating lease assets also include initial direct costs incurred and prepaid lease payments, minus any lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company combines the lease and non-lease components in determining the operating lease assets and liabilities. Additionally, for short-term leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less and with purchase options the Company is not reasonably certain will be exercised, the Company elected to not record ROU assets or corresponding lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in addition to liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of fSight. Initially the Company measures goodwill based upon the value of the consideration paid plus or minus net assets assumed. The goodwill arising from the Company's acquisition is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.
Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets are recorded at cost or when acquired as part of a business combination at estimated fair value. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. The Company's amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of patents, developed technology, and customer relationships. The useful life of these intangible assets ranges from 6 to 10 years.
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company will perform an annual impairment assessment for goodwill and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which consists of property and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost amount or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment losses were identified for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
85
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits consist of deposits received by the Company, as required on certain contracts and agreements, which are refundable at the termination of the contract. Customer deposits are recorded in deferred revenue, current portion within the consolidated balance sheet. Please refer to the “Reclassification” section in this note for further clarification on the overall presentation of customer deposits in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
Product Warranties
The Company estimates the cost of its warranty obligations based on several key estimates: the warranty period (which vary from 5 to 25 years depending on the product), its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and parts, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures.In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. Should the actual experience relative to these factors differ from the estimates, the Company may be required to record additional warranty reserves. Product warranty costs are recorded as expense to cost of revenue based on customer history, historical information and current trends.
The following table summarizes the changes in product warranty liability:
Year Ended December 31,
Balance at the beginning of the period $ 4,351 $ 3,393
Balance at the end of the period $ 5,632 $ 4,351
Convertible Promissory Note
On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with L1 Energy Capital Management S.a.r.l (“L1 Energy”) pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Convertible Promissory Note”).
The Company analyzes its convertible debt instruments for embedded attributes that may require bifurcation from the host and accounted for as derivatives. At the inception of each instrument, in the event of a modification of a debt agreement, and at each reporting date, the Company performs an analysis of the embedded features requiring bifurcation and may elect, if eligible, to account for the entire debt instrument at fair value. If the fair value option were to be elected, any changes in fair value would be recognized in the accompanying statements of operations until the instrument is settled. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted at the option of the noteholder into shares of Common Stock or an equivalent equity instrument resulting from a public company event. As a result of the Business Combination, the conversion options were bifurcated and accounted for as derivatives. The derivative instrument was recorded at fair value upon recognition and was subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with any changes in estimated fair value recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
On September 24, 2023, the Company and L1 Energy entered into an Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note Amendment”) which amended the conversion terms and, as a result of such amendment, the conversion options no longer met the requirements to be bifurcated in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The carrying value of the convertible note derivative liability was remeasured to fair value immediately prior to the execution of the Convertible Note Amendment and the change in fair value was recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The carrying value of the convertible note derivative liability was reclassified to equity and was recorded into additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Please refer to Note 6 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for further details regarding the fair value of the derivative instrument. In addition, please refer Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” for additional details regarding the Convertible Promissory Note and derivative instrument.
86
Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants
Warrants to purchase a total of 1,064,446 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock of Legacy Tigo were initially recognized as a liability and recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date. As part of the Business Combination, Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock was remeasured immediately before the Merger date, and was subsequently converted into Legacy Tigo common stock pursuant to the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and all related Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock with terms consistent with the Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock warrants except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted using the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the Business Combination, as discussed in Note 3, all outstanding Series C convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised resulting in the net issuance of 828,733 shares of convertible preferred stock which were immediately converted into Common Stock in connection with the recapitalization. As of December 31, 2023, there were no convertible preferred stock warrants outstanding.
Business Combinations
Other than the Merger, which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (see Note 3 for additional information), the Company accounts for business combinations under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values assigned, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants, are based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. These valuations require the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer relationships and developed technology, royalty rates, and discount rates. The Company records the excess consideration over the aggregate fair value of tangible and intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed, as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are included as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of a reporting period that falls within the measurement period, the Company reports provisional amounts in the consolidated financial statements. During the measurement period, the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date will be adjusted to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date and the Company records those adjustments in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company complies with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”) for revenue recognition. In accounting for contracts with customers:
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
•
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
•
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
•
Determination of the transaction price
•
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
•
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenues from contracts with its customers. A description of principal activities from which the Company generates revenues follows.
•
Products Delivered at a Point in Time. The Company’s primary source of revenue is the sale of its
87
hardware products. The Company’s hardware products are fully functional at the time of shipment and do not require modification or customization for customers to use the products. The Company sells its products primarily to distributors that resell the Company’s products to end users. Distributors do not have general rights of return and generally order goods for immediate resale to end customers. The Company uses present right to payment and transfer of title as indicators to determine the transfer of control to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when its performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally aligns with shipping terms. Contract shipping terms include ExWorks (“EXW”), FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination incoterms. Under EXW (meaning the seller fulfills its obligation to deliver when it makes goods available at its premises, or another specified location, for the buyer to collect), the performance obligation is satisfied and control is transferred at the point when the customer is notified that their order is available for pickup. Under FOB Shipping Point, control is transferred to the customer at the time the good is transferred to the shipper and under FOB Destination, at the time the customer receives the goods. We deduct sales returns to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenues. The Company has made the election to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the product and as such records amounts charged to customers for shipping and handling as revenue and the related costs are included in cost of revenues.
•
Services Delivered Over Time. Sales of the Company’s hardware products can include the Company’s free or premium web-based monitoring service. These monitoring services represent a single performance obligation and is deferred at the sale date. The free monitoring service revenue is recognized ratably over an estimated service period of 5 years as the service is performed. The premium monitoring service is recognized ratably over the contracted service period, up to 20 years, as the service is performed. The full consideration of monitoring service revenue represented less than 1% of the total net revenue during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The allocation of revenue between the hardware and monitoring service deliverables is based on the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price determined by considering multiple factors, including internal costs, gross margin and historical selling practices. Additionally, the Company provides software as a service (“SaaS”) platform for our Predict+ technology. The Predict+ service revenue is recognized ratably over a contract service period up to 11 years, as the service is performed.
The Company typically incurs incremental costs to acquire customer contracts related to the Company’s hardware sales in the form of sales commissions; however, because the expected benefit from these contracts is one year or less, the Company follows the ASC Topic 606 practical expedient and expenses these amounts as incurred.
The Company records certain contra revenue promotions as variable consideration and recognizes these promotions at the time the related revenue is recorded.
Deferred revenue or contract liabilities consists of payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition for the Company’s products and service. The current portion of deferred revenue represents the unearned revenue that will be earned within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Correspondingly, noncurrent deferred revenue represents the unearned revenue that will be earned after 12 months from the balance sheet date.
See Note 7 for additional information.
Cost of Revenue
The Company includes the following in cost of revenue: product costs, warranty costs, manufacturing personnel and logistics costs, inventory reserve charges, shipping and handling costs, hosting service costs related to the monitoring service, depreciation and amortization of manufacturing test equipment, and employee-related expenses which primarily consists of employees’ salaries and health insurance expense.
88
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSU”) granted is determined based on the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense of its awards over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period, for the entire award using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Estimating the fair value of options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life of the options, stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The assumptions used in the Company’s Black-Scholes option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates and involve a number of variables, uncertainties and assumptions and the application of management’s judgment, as they are inherently subjective.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are comprised of costs to design, develop, test or significantly improve our solar energy hardware and software solutions and primarily include personnel costs and facility-related expenses.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses incurred by the Company were $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method as required by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period corresponding to the enactment date. Under ASC Topic 740, a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized through generating sufficient future taxable income.
ASC Topic 740 defines the criterion an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of the tax position to be recognized in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not such tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the respective tax position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a tax position should be measured based on the largest benefit having a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority. In accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 740, the Company’s policy on income statement classification of interest and penalties related to income tax obligations is to include such items as part of income tax expense.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. Under GAAP, the Company can make an accounting policy election to either treat taxes due on the GILTI inclusion as a current period expense or factor such amounts into the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes. The Company elected to treat the GILTI inclusion as a period expense.
89
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholder’s equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of the change in net unrealized loss on marketable securities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU will have and does not expect the standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The standard is effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted annual reporting the guidance using the modified retrospective approach to apply the standard as of January 1, 2022, with no retrospective adjustments to prior periods on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. As permitted under the new guidance, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which allowed the Company to retain prior conclusions regarding lease identification, classification and initial direct costs. For the Company’s lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, the Company elected the practical expedient to account for these as a single lease component for all underlying classes of assets. Additionally, for short-term leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less and with purchase options the Company is not reasonably certain will be exercised, the Company elected to not record ROU assets or corresponding lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 13, “Leases” for additional information on the Company’s leases following the adoption of this standard.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2023. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326 did not have a financial impact to the Company’s retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The goal of the ASU 2020-06 is to simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics
90
of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard is effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method or full retrospective method. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2023, and determined the impact upon adoption to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Topic 740”) and simplifies certain GAAP requirements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for non-public business entities’ interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis.

Merger with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ROCG was treated as the “acquired” company and Legacy Tigo was considered the “acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Tigo stockholders comprising a majority of the voting power of the Company, Legacy Tigo’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the Company, Legacy Tigo’s relative size compared to ROCG, and Legacy Tigo’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Tigo with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Tigo issuing stock for the net assets of ROCG, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCG are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Legacy Tigo. All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination of 0.233335 (the “Exchange Ratio”) to affect the reverse recapitalization.
As part of the reverse recapitalization, Legacy Tigo acquired $2.2 million of cash, $0.6 million of prepaid expenses and insurance and assumed $3,400 of accrued expenses and $61,000 of income tax payable. The Company incurred $6.1 million in transaction costs relating to the Business Combination, which were charged directly to additional paid in capital to the extent of cash received. Transaction costs in excess of cash acquired of $3.9 million were charged to general and administrative expenses.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination:
•
all shares of Legacy Tigo’s outstanding Series E, Series D, Series C-1, Series C, Series B-4, Series B-3, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series A-4, Series A-3, Series A-2, and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis and additional shares of Legacy Tigo common stock were issued to settle the accumulated dividend to the Series E and Series D convertible preferred stockholders of $12.6 million;
•
all common warrants net of exercise were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis; and
•
all preferred warrants net of exercise were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo preferred stock on a one-to-one basis, and subsequently converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis.
At the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (including the shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued in connection
91
with the foregoing) were canceled and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the merger consideration based on the Exchange Ratio.
Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 58,144,543 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,358,301 shares of Common Stock and 5,768,750 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock.

Acquisition of Foresight Energy, Ltd.
On January 25, 2023 (“Acquisition Closing Date”), Legacy Tigo acquired 100% of the equity interests of fSight. The results of fSight’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the Acquisition Closing Date. fSight primarily focuses on developing and marketing a software as a service platform, based on artificial intelligence for the smart management of electrical energy. The acquisition expands the Company’s ability to leverage energy consumption and production data for solar energy producers, adding a prediction platform that provides actionable system performance data, from the grid down to the module level.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, total consideration amounted to $13.2 million which consisted of 5,598,751 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 1,306,385 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) issued at closing with a fair value of approximately $11.0 million, 737,233 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 172,022 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) with a fair value of approximately $1.4 million to be issued 12 months from closing and 368,617 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 86,011 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) with a fair value of approximately $0.7 million to be issued 18 months from closing (collectively with the shares to be issued at 12 months “Contingent Shares”). In addition to the consideration in the purchase agreement, there is an additional $0.5 million in consideration related to a loan that the Company issued to fSight prior to the Acquisition Closing Date, for a total consideration transferred of $13.7 million. The loan payable was deemed settled immediately following the Acquisition Closing Date.
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Contingent Shares are subject to adjustment based on certain indemnification obligations, liabilities or settlements that may arise during the contingency period, which ends 18 months following the Acquisition Closing Date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there was an adjustment recorded against the Contingent Shares related to an unrecorded liability that was not present as of the opening balance sheet date of January 25, 2023, and the number of Contingent Shares was adjusted downward by 5,745 shares to reflect this change. As of December 31, 2023, there was a total of up to 252,288 Contingent Shares that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.
The contingent shares were recorded as a liability at a fair value of approximately $2.1 million on the Acquisition Closing Date based on the fair value of Legacy Tigo’s common stock at the Acquisition Closing Date. The contingent shares liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities financial statement line items within the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the liability was revalued to $0.5 million based upon Legacy Tigo’s common stock fair value per share on December 31, 2023. The $1.6 million gain on mark to market was recorded in the change in fair value of preferred stock warrant and contingent share liability financial statement line item within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, using the acquisition method of accounting and in conjunction with the acquisition, Legacy Tigo recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2023, which were expensed as incurred and are recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:
Consideration transferred (1):
Fair value of common stock issued $ 10,974 $ — $ 10,974
Fair value of contingent shares 2,167 — 2,167
Deemed settlement of loan payable 527 — 527
Assets Acquired
Cash and cash equivalents $ 55 $ — $ 55
Property and equipment 9 — 9
Customer relationships 170 — 170
Liabilities Assumed
Accounts payable $ 418 $ — $ 418
Other current liabilities 89 (89 ) —
Other long-term liabilities 781 (781 ) —

The reported provisional amounts presented above have been updated from the Company’s S-1 filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023. The Company recorded an out of period adjustment related to the adjustment of the provisional fair market value of the Legacy Tigo common stock that was used to develop the calculation of the purchase price consideration. The Company does not believe that the adjustment had a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated balance sheets, or consolidated statements of cash flows in any periods previously reported.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, upon the recognition that the liabilities associated with other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, initially assumed and incorporated within the opening balance sheet as of January 25, 2023, were not obligatory, the Company made an adjustment to the financial statement line items associated with these liabilities and correspondingly adjusted goodwill. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company finalized its fair value determination on the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and completed its assessment of the purchase price allocation. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date estimated fair values. Accounts receivable and property and equipment acquired were not material in size or scope, and the carrying amounts of these assets represented their fair value. The identifiable intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships which were assigned fair values of approximately $1.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The developed technology and customer relationships are all being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in addition to liabilities assumed arising from the business combination. The Company believes the goodwill related to the acquisition was attributable to the expected synergies, value of the assembled workforce, and the collective experience of the management team with regards to its operations, customers, and industry. As a non-taxable stock acquisition, the value attributable to the acquired intangibles and goodwill are not tax deductible.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)
The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information for the years ended December 31 2023 and 2022, as if the merger with fSight had occurred on January 1, 2022.

Year Ended December 31,
Supplemental Information of Operating Results
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s consolidated statement of operations included net revenues of $0.6 million and a net loss of $1.4 million attributable to fSight.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and if-converted method, as applicable. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities, which include convertible preferred stock.
Under the two-class method, net loss is adjusted by the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the carrying amount of convertible preferred stock during periods where the Company redeems its convertible preferred stock. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated to common stock and each series of convertible preferred stock to the extent that each preferred security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock is then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the convertible preferred stock have no obligation to fund losses.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a net loss. In accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earning Per Share”, the difference between our basic and diluted loss per share calculations is due to the application of the if-converted method for the Company’s convertible debt. In the diluted loss per share calculation, the numerator is adjusted by adding back interest expense and changes in fair value of derivative liability, reflecting the assumed conversion of the convertible debt into Common Stock. The denominator includes the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the convertible notes if-converted.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported a net loss. The diluted net loss per share calculation is the same as basic net loss per share since dilutive shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.
