Earnings Conference Call Scheduled for August 15, 2025
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company” or “Capstone”) (OTCID: CGEH), the public successor to Capstone Green Energy Corporation, announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended June 30, 2025. The Company continues to focus on driving its Three Pillar strategy: (1) financial health, (2) sustainable excellence, and (3) revitalizing culture and talent. These Three Pillars are intended to drive behavioral changes in our culture, generating results that lead to strong and sustainable financial performance.
“The Company’s improving financial health and the resurgence of customers’ confidence with Capstone is providing an opportunity for increased participation in the evolving data center and microgrid segments.”
Share
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $27.9 million, compared to revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 of $15.6 million. The first quarter revenue improved by $12.3 million year-over-year, driven by higher demand in our products and accessories category as well as improved rental utilization rates within the company's Energy as a Service (EaaS) revenue stream.
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights:
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $7.6 million, which was $3.8 million higher than the $3.8 million gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Further, gross margin was 27%, which was an improvement of 3 percentage points over the 24% gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The $3.8 million gross profit increase was driven by higher product pricing and product mix, as well as higher rental pricing and rental fleet utilization. Gross margin improvement was primarily driven by product price realization, along with our DFMA cost-out initiatives implemented throughout Fiscal Year 2025.
- The Company delivered a net loss of $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to the $3.8 million higher gross profit and $1.5 million reduction in non-recurring professional expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.7 million versus $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, with the $2.0 million improvement primarily due to improved gross margin offset by a slight increase in operating expenses.
- Total cash as of June 30, 2025, was $6.6 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from March 31, 2025, primarily due to increased use of working capital in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, partially offset by the source of working capital from accounts payable.
- Net cash used by operating activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, vs. $2.1 million provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The $3.7 million change was mainly a result of the higher sales and increased accounts receivable, the timing of deferred revenue recognition, the change in accounts payable, and Factory Protection Plan liability.
- The Company continues to remain compliant with its financial covenants.
“Capstone’s resilience and the continued dedication to excellence have delivered the fifth straight quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA on improved product and rental revenues. The effects of the prior price increase and the design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) cost-out programs delivered gross profit and gross margin increases over the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2025,” said John Juric, Chief Financial Officer of Capstone. “The Company’s improving financial health and the resurgence of customers’ confidence with Capstone is providing an opportunity for increased participation in the evolving data center and microgrid segments.”
“The foundational strides we’ve made in our business uniquely position us on the global stage, just as the surge in distributed generation and microgrid growth gains momentum,” said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone. “As we continue our journey to become the premier provider of distributed generation and microgrid solutions, delivering fuel flexibility, operational resilience, and low emissions, we remain steadfast in our commitment to reducing the world’s carbon footprint in a sustainable and responsible way.”
Canino continued, “Our consistent delivery of strong financial performance over the last five quarters, even amid the dynamic conditions of the past six months, is a clear testament to the strength of our Three-Pillar Strategy and our culture of accountable execution. It has become a true bellwether for the future of our business.”

To supplement the Company’s unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the Company’s financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company’s economic performance year-over-year.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, restructuring, financing, shareholder litigation, non-recurring legal, restatement and SEC investigation expenses, and reorganization items. Restructuring expenses relate to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and financing expenses related to the evaluation and negotiation of the Company’s senior indebtedness. Shareholder litigation expense resulting from the restatement of the Company’s financials and non-recurring legal expenses are one-time non-recurring legal fees. Restatement expenses are professional fees related to the restatement of the Company’s prior year financials. SEC investigation expenses relate to the costs arising from the restatement of the Company’s financials. Reorganization items represent adjustments occurring during the bankruptcy period.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.
While management believes that the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the methods of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
