Exhibit 99.1
Tigo Energy Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
CAMPBELL, Calif. – May 6, 2025 – Tigo Energy, Inc. (“Tigo”, or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TYGO), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy storage solutions, today reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, financial guidance for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025 and a full year 2025 outlook.
Recent Financial and Operational Highlights
| ● | Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 of $18.8 million, up 92.2% compared to the first quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 of $7.0 million, compared to a net loss of $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA loss for the first quarter of 2025 of $2.0 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $20.3 million at March 31, 2025, a sequential increase of $0.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | During the first quarter of 2025, we shipped 502,000, or 351 MW, of MLPE. |

Management Commentary
“We are pleased to report our fifth sequential increase in quarterly revenues and a 92% revenue increase on a year over year basis,” said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo. “These results reflect both an expansion of our market share and an ongoing recovery in the solar market.”
“During the quarter, we saw increased sequential growth in the EMEA, Americas and APAC regions, which comprised 61%, 25% and 14% of total revenues, respectively. We expect that our geographical and manufacturing diversification will mitigate a significant portion of the current tariff headwinds in the industry.”
“For the first quarter, we increased our cash by $0.4 million to $20.3 million as we lowered our operating costs and further reduced our inventory” stated Bill Roeschlein, Chief Financial Officer of Tigo. “As a result of our continued improvement in financial performance, our second quarter guidance incorporates positive adjusted EBITDA at the higher end of the guided range.”
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Results compare the 2025 fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2025 to the 2024 fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2024, unless otherwise indicated.
| ● | Revenues totaled $18.8 million, a 92.2% increase from $9.8 million. On a sequential quarter basis, revenues increased by 9.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Gross profit totaled $7.2 million, or 38.1% of net revenue, compared to gross profit of $2.8 million, or 28.2% of net revenue. |
| ● | Operating expenses totaled $11.2 million, a 5.9% decrease from $11.9 million. |
| ● | Net loss totaled $7.0 million, a 39.3% decrease compared to a net loss of $11.5 million. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA loss totaled $2.0 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.3 million. |
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Guidance and Full Year 2025 Outlook

| ● | Revenues are expected to be within the range of $21 million to $23 million. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be within the range of $(1.5) million to $0.5 million. |
For the full year 2025, the Company continues to anticipate revenues to be between $85 million and $100 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our ability to increase our revenues and become profitable, our overall long-term growth prospects, expectations regarding a recovery in our industry, including the timing thereof, current and future inventory levels, charges and reserves and their impact on future financial results, inventory supply and its impact on our customer shipments, statements about our revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the second fiscal quarter 2025 and our revenue for the full fiscal year 2025, statements about demand for our products, our competitive position, the impact of tariffs, and our ability to penetrate new markets and expand our market share, including expansion in international markets, our continued expansion of and investments in our product portfolio, and future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “will allow us to” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “expected”, “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Tigo’s management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed, or that will be disclosed in, our reports filed with the SEC, factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, our capital requirements and our ability to meet our future liquidity requirements and continue as a going concern; our indebtedness and liabilities and our ability to pay amounts when due under our existing indebtedness; our failure to satisfy certain listing requirements of Nasdaq which may result in our common stock being delisted from Nasdaq; our ability to effectively develop and sell our product offerings and services, our ability to compete in the highly-competitive and evolving solar industry; our ability to manage risks associated with U.S. and global geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions including the potential softening of the economy, seasonal trends and the cyclical nature of the solar industry, including the current prolonged downturn; whether we continue to grow our customer base; whether we continue to develop new products and innovations to meet constantly evolving customer demands; the timing and level of demand for our solar energy solutions; changes in government subsidies and economic incentives, including tax incentives, for solar energy solutions; trade tariffs and other trade barriers that could directly affect us, our customers and the solar industry; our ability to forecast our customer demand and manufacturing requirements, and manage our inventory; our ability to acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products or services to grow the business and realize the anticipated benefits therefrom; our ability to respond to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and political unrest and regulatory changes in the U.S. and international markets into which we expand or otherwise operate in; our failure to attract, hire retain and train highly qualified personnel in the future; and if we are unable to maintain key strategic relationships with our partners and distributors.
Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise occurring after the date of this communication.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measure: adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use adjusted EBITDA for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We define adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as earnings (loss) before interest and other expenses, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and merger transaction related expenses. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides helpful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to adjusted EBITDA in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance and comparisons to our competitors’ operating results. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors both because they (i) allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (ii) are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.
The items excluded from adjusted EBITDA may have a material impact on our financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is presented as supplemental disclosure and should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
We refer investors to the reconciliation adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) included below. A reconciliation for adjusted EBITDA provided as guidance is not provided because, as a forward-looking statement, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and difficulty of estimating certain items such as charges to stock-based compensation expense and currency fluctuations which could have an impact on our consolidated results.
