ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 14, 2025.
Unless
the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “Pioneer,”
“we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiary.

dollars are reported in thousands except for share and per share amounts .
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events,
future financial performance, financial projections, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as
“may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance
or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s
good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance
or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
●
General
economic conditions and their effect on demand for electrical equipment, particularly in the commercial market, but also in the power
generation, industrial production and infrastructure industries.
●
The
effects of fluctuations in sales on our business, revenues, expenses, net income (loss), income (loss) per share, margins and profitability.
●
Many
of our competitors are better established and have significantly greater resources and may subsidize their competitive offerings
with other products and services, which may make it difficult for us to attract and retain customers.
●
The
potential loss or departure of key personnel, including Nathan J. Mazurek, our chairman, president and chief executive officer.
●
Our
ability to generate internal growth, maintain market acceptance of our existing products and gain acceptance for our new products.
●
Unanticipated
increases in raw material prices or disruptions in supply could increase production costs and adversely affect our profitability.
●
Our
ability to realize revenue reported in our backlog.
●
Our
ability to remediate the ongoing material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting, or inability to otherwise
maintain an effective system of internal control.
●
The
effect that the identified material weakness and failure to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
could have on investor confidence in us and raise reputational risk.
●
Operating
margin risk due to competitive pricing and operating efficiencies, supply chain risk, material, labor or overhead cost increases,
interest rate risk and commodity risk.
●
Strikes
or labor disputes with our employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.
●
The
impact of geopolitical activity on the economy, changes in government regulations such as tariff policies and regulations, income
taxes, climate control initiatives, the timing or strength of an economic recovery in our markets and our ability to access capital
markets.
●
Future
sales of large blocks of our common stock may adversely impact our stock price.
●
The
liquidity and trading volume of our common stock.
●
Our
business could be adversely affected by an outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, such as the global coronavirus pandemic, or
similar public threat, or fear of such an event.
●
Our
ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
●
Risks
associated with litigation and claims, which could impact our financial results and condition.
17
The
foregoing does not represent an exhaustive list of matters that may be covered by the forward-looking statements contained herein or
risk factors that we are faced with that may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.
Moreover, new risks regularly emerge, and it is not possible for us to predict or articulate all risks we face, nor can we assess the
impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from
those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should
review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2024, for a discussion of the foregoing and other risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock.

Description
of Business Segment
In
October 2024, we sold our Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. (“PCEP”) business unit to a buyer (the “PCEP Sale”)
as a result of a strategic change to the operations of our business. Following the PCEP Sale, we currently have one reportable segment
- Critical Power Solutions (“Critical Power”).
●
Our
Critical Power business provides customers with our suite of mobile EV charging solutions, power generation equipment and all forms
services, including but not limited to, preventative maintenance, repairs, fuel polishing, and remote monitoring. These products
and services are marketed by our operations headquartered in Minnesota, currently doing business under our Pioneer eMobility (“e-Boost”)
and Pioneer Critical Power (“Titan”) brand names.
Our
Critical Power business designs, manufactures and sells mobile EV charging solutions under our e-Boost suite of products, in addition
to distributing new power generation equipment and performing service and maintenance on our customers’ existing equipment. Many
of these systems are used to maintain reliable, primary, peak shaving or emergency standby power at facilities where it is required or
where the potential consequences of a power outage make it necessary, such as, but not limited to, major national retailers, hospitals,
data centers, communications facilities, factories, military sites, office complexes and other critical operations.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our estimates are based on our historical experience, knowledge of current
events and actions we may undertake in the future, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2025. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Backlog
Revenue
backlog, which consists of purchase orders and contracts from customers that we believe to be firm, reflects the amount of revenue that
we expect to realize in the future upon the satisfaction of customer orders for our products or services that are not yet complete or
for which work has not yet begun. Backlog may vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period due to the timing of customer
commitments.
Our
revenue backlog as of September 30, 2025, from our Critical Power business was $15,362, a decrease of $8,676, or 36.1%, when compared
to $24,038 as of September 30, 2024.

$6,416 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in service sales during the three months ended
September 30, 2025.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our revenue from our Critical Power segment increased by $8,872, or 67.6% to $21,998, up from
$13,126 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in sales and rentals of our suite of mobile EV
charging solutions, e-Boost, in addition to an increase in service sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our gross margin from our Critical Power segment decreased to 9.6% of revenues, as compared
to 20.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to an unfavorable sales mix, in addition
to a contract with a customer in our Pioneer eMobility business which generated lower margins on the initial units due to higher costs
incurred during the early stages of production as we refined our manufacturing processes and optimized build efficiency.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expense . For the three months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated selling, general and administrative
expense decreased by approximately $4, or 0.2%, to $1,976, as compared to $1,980 during the three months ended September 30, 2024. As
a percentage of our consolidated revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 28.7% during the three months ended
September 30, 2025, as compared to 30.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in total revenue
during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $710, or
11.5%, to $6,878, as compared to $6,168 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in payroll related
expense, trade show related costs, and insurance expense. As a percentage of our consolidated revenue, selling, general and administrative
expense decreased to 31.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 47.0% during the nine months ended September
30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in total revenue during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
R&D
Expenses. Research and development expenses in our Critical Power segment consists of costs incurred in performing research and development
activities, including salaries, benefits, overhead costs, contract services and other related costs. During the three months ended September
30, 2025, we incurred $111 of R&D expenses related to developing our mobile e-Boost EV charging solutions as compared to $256 during
the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $726 of R&D expenses related
to developing our mobile e-Boost EV charging solutions as compared to $705 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

21
Non-Operating
Income (Expense) from Continuing Operations
Interest
Income (Expense) . We generated the majority of our interest income from our cash on hand during the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2025.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had interest income of approximately $184, as compared to interest expense of approximately
$24 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had interest income of approximately $615, as compared to interest income of approximately
$27 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other
Income (Expense) . Other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations reports certain gains and losses associated
with activities not directly related to our core operations.
For
the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, other non-operating expense was $438, as compared to $0 during the three-month period
ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the loss on our equity method investment.
For
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, other non-operating expense was $118, as compared to other non-operating income of $40
during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the loss on our equity method investment.
Provision for Income Taxes . For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a return-to-provision (RTP) adjustment of $69, resulting in an effective tax rate
(ETR) of (1.4)% for the nine-m onth
period. We recorded no income tax provision or RTP for the same periods in 2024.
The
nine-month period ETR of (1.4)% primarily reflects:
(i) The
continued application of a full valuation allowance on our federal, state, and foreign deferred
tax assets;
(ii) The
absence of any discrete income-generating events or significant attribute utilization;
(iii) The
impact of non-deductible permanent items, including meals & entertainment, officer compensation
subject to §162(m), and penalties;
(iv) No
recognition of foreign tax credit (FTC) benefits during the period;
(v) The
absence of any tax rate changes or deferred remeasurement activity;
(vi) The
Inclusion of an RTP adjustment related to prior year tax estimates.
Due
to continued volatility in operating results and the non-reliability of full-year forecasted income, management determined that it was
not practicable to compute a reliable annual effective tax rate. As such, we applied the discrete method under ASC 740-270-30-18 to determine
the tax provision for the quarter.
We
expect to continue applying the discrete method until a reliable forecast of annual taxable income can be established.
Net
Loss per Share from Continuing Operations
We
generated a net loss from continuing operations of $1,770 and $5,074, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September
30, 2025, as compared to $738 and $4,108 respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Our
net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share during the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.16, compared
to a net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share of $0.07 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Our
net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.46, compared
to a net loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share of $0.39 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Income
(loss) from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net
of tax was $580, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $383
during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was
$467, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $331 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The $467 of income recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to finalizing the net working capital adjustment with the buyer of the PCEP Sale, net of tax.
22
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General .
As of September 30, 2025, we had $17,336 of cash on hand generated primarily from the PCEP Sale. On October 29, 2024, we closed on the
PCEP Sale for gross cash proceeds of $48,000 and $2,000 in equity. On January 7, 2025, we paid a one-time special cash dividend of an
aggregate of $16,665. As of December 31, 2024, we recorded a consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale of $3,347 related to a net
working capital adjustment. On April 16, 2025, we and the buyer from the PCEP Sale finalized the net working capital adjustment and as
a result, we recorded a $1,147 adjustment to the consideration due to the buyer of the PCEP Sale during the three months ended March
31, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid the $2,200 consideration to the buyer of the PCEP Sale.
The
continuing impacts of the rising interest rates, inflation, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and geopolitical
developments, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, have
resulted, and may continue to result, in a global slowdown of economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of
goods and services, including those provided by our clients, while also disrupting supply channels, sales channels and advertising
and marketing activities for an unknown period of time. Additionally, the shutdown of the U.S. federal government, recent changes to
U.S. policy implemented by the U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future
impact, among other things, the U.S. and global economy, tariff policies and regulations, international trade relations,
unemployment, immigration, healthcare, taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. As a result of the
current uncertainty in economic activity, we are unable to predict the potential size and duration of the impact on our revenue and
our results of operations, if any. The extent of the potential impact of these macroeconomic factors on our operational and
financial performance will depend on a variety of factors, including the extent of geopolitical disruption and its impact on our
clients, partners, industry, and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and cannot be accurately predicted. We continue
to monitor the effects of these macroeconomic factors and intend to take steps deemed appropriate to limit the impact on our
business. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we were able to operate substantially at capacity.
There
can be no assurance that precautionary measures, whether adopted by us or imposed by others, will be effective, and such measures could
negatively affect our sales, marketing, and client service efforts, delay and lengthen our sales cycles, decrease our employees’,
clients’, or partners’ productivity, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could harm our business and
results of operations.
The
cash flows related to the discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows.
Cash
Used in Operating Activities . Cash used in our operating activities was $4,780 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as
compared to cash used in our operating activities of $4,118 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cash used
in operating activities is primarily due to working capital fluctuations and the payment of federal and state income taxes.
Cash
Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $2,751, as compared
to cash used in our investing activities of $1,277, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing
activities is primarily due to the payment of the $2,200 consideration to the buyer of the PCEP Sale during the nine months ended September
30, 2025. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, additions to our property and equipment were $1,532 and $1,277,
respectively.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we received a cash dividend of $981 from our equity method investee. We elected to apply the
cumulative earnings approach to classify distributions received from equity method investments in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows. Under this method, distributions received from equity method investees are included in our unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions exceed our share of cumulative equity
in the investee’s net income (loss). In such cases, the excess distributions are considered returns of investment and are classified
as investing activities. As of September 30, 2025, our cumulative distributions were $981, and our share of cumulative equity in the
investee’s net loss was $198. As such, the cash distribution received during the three months ended September 30, 2025, was classified
as investing activity in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash
Used in/ Provided by Financing Activities. Cash used in our financing activities was $16,755 during the nine months ended September
30, 2025, as compared to cash provided by our financing activities of $4,893 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase
in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to the payment of a one-time special cash dividend.
23
Working
Capital . As of September 30, 2025, we had working capital of $22,766, including $17,336 of cash on hand, compared to working capital
of $26,679, including $41,622 of cash on hand as of December 31, 2024.
Assessment
of Liquidity . As of September 30, 2025, we had $17,336 of cash on hand generated primarily from the PCEP Sale. We have historically
met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and bank borrowings, the completion of the sale of the
transformer business units in August 2019, the completion of the PCEP Sale in October 2024 and the sale of common stock. Historically,
our cash requirements were generally for operating activities, debt repayment, capital improvements and acquisitions.
We
expect to meet our cash needs with our working capital and cash flows from operating activities. We expect our cash requirements to be
generally for operating activities, capital improvements and product development. We expect that product development and promotional
activities related to our new initiatives will continue in the near future and we expect to continue to incur costs related to such activities.
We expect that our cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months from the date our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements are issued.
As
of September 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that had, or that may have, a material effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital
Expenditures
Our
additions to property and equipment were $1,532 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1,277 of additions to
property and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Known
Trends, Events, Uncertainties and Factors That May Affect Future Operations
We
believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors,
including the cyclical nature of the electrical equipment industry and the markets for our products and services. Our operating
results could also be impacted by changing customer requirements and exposure to fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies,
such as copper, steel and aluminum. We have various insurance policies, including cybersecurity, covering risks in amounts that we
consider adequate. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our
manufacturing efficiency and through increases in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot
foresee may affect customer demand. In addition, the consequences of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing
conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and
countermeasures, and the effects of rising global inflation, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and
macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our
business and operations. Additionally, the shutdown of the U.S. federal government, recent changes to U.S. policy implemented by the
U.S. Congress, the Trump administration or any new administration have impacted and may in the future impact, among other things,
the U.S. and global economy, tariff policies and regulations, international trade relations, unemployment, immigration, healthcare,
taxation, the U.S. regulatory environment, inflation and other areas. We predominately sell to customers in the industrial
production and commercial construction markets. Accordingly, changes in the condition of any of our customers may have a greater
impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different end markets. For a further discussion of factors that may
affect future operating results see the sections entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
