Preliminary (Unaudited) Financial Highlights from the Critical Power Segment for the Full Year 2024

Revenue was $22.9 million, as compared to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 106%.

Cash on hand at December 31, 2024 was $41.6 million, as compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of approximately $38.0 million. Subsequent to the year end, on January 7, 2025, the Company paid a one-time special cash dividend of an aggregate of $16.7 million.

Nathan Mazurek, Chairman and CEO of Pioneer, commented, “I am pleased to report that our preliminary unaudited financial results exceeded our 2024 revenue guidance for our Critical Power segment, delivering outsized revenue growth coupled with accelerating operating profits. We believe we have successfully balanced profitability with strategic investments in product development and marketing, positioning us for sustained growth and profitability.”

Mazurek added, “Our e-Boost platform is gaining momentum, with surging demand in its core fleet electrification market, including trucks, buses, ride-share vehicles, last-mile-delivery step-vans and specialty vehicles. Moreover, we are seeing broader adoption and engagement across various verticals, such as leisure craft, EVTOLs, construction sites and airport ground service equipment. Notably, our strong 2024 performance and 2025 outlook do not yet account for the upcoming national launch of our new, groundbreaking HOMe-Boost residential solution, offering 'anytime' EV charging along with whole-house back-up power, as well as our innovative e-Boost RealM remote monitoring platform.”

The Company plans to issue its final audited financial results and file its annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the coming weeks.
