When did Energy Recovery Inc file this 10-Q?

Energy Recovery Inc (ERII) filed this Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) with the SEC on August 6, 2025. The accession number assigned by EDGAR is 0001421517-25-000118.

What does a 10-Q disclose?

Form 10-Q is the SEC's quarterly report. Public companies file it after each of the first three fiscal quarters to disclose unaudited financial statements and management's discussion of operations. The fourth-quarter results are rolled into the annual 10-K instead.

What events did Boardroom Alpha flag in this filing?

BA's event-extraction layer identified this signal in the filing text: "Workforce reduction". It appears above the filing body as a labeled pill.

How is a 10-Q different from a 10-K?

Form 10-Q is filed three times a year (after Q1, Q2, and Q3 — the fourth quarter rolls into the 10-K). 10-Qs contain unaudited interim financial statements and a shorter MD&A. They're due 40 or 45 days after quarter end depending on filer size.

Where can I find Energy Recovery Inc's prior quarterly reports on EDGAR?

The SEC EDGAR browser lists every 10-Q Energy Recovery Inc has filed under CIK 1421517, sortable by date. Use the "View on SEC EDGAR" link in the page header, or browse directly via https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar.

Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, including Part I, Item 2, “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (the “MD&A”), contains forward-looking statements within the “safe

harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not

limited to, statements about our expectations, objectives, anticipations, plans, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.

Forward-looking statements represent our current expectations about future events, are based on assumptions, and involve risks and

uncertainties. If the risks or uncertainties occur or the assumptions prove incorrect, then our results may differ materially from those set forth

or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events.

Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “continue,” “could,”

“may,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” variations of such words and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking

statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore,

actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Readers are directed to risks and

uncertainties identified under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this report for factors that may cause actual results to be

different from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or

update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.

Forward-looking statements in this report include, without limitation, statements about the following:

•our belief that our PX offers market-leading value with the highest technological and economic benefit;

•our belief that leveraging our pressure exchanger technology will unlock new commercial opportunities in the future;

•our belief that our PX G1300™ can contribute to help make CO2-based refrigeration more economically viable in a broader

range of climates;

•our belief that our technology helps our customer achieve environmentally sustainable operations;

•our expectation that sales outside of the U.S. will remain a significant portion of our revenue;

•the scale of the environmental impact from the use of our solutions;

•the timing of our receipt of payment for products or services from our customers;

•our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our short and/or long-term investments, and the ongoing cash generated

from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, with the exception of a

decision to enter into an acquisition and/or fund investments in our latest technology arising from rapid market adoption that

could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing;

•our expectations relating to the amount and timing of recognized revenue from our projects;

•our expectation that we will continue to receive a tax benefit related to U.S. federal foreign-derived intangible income and

research and development tax credit;

•the outcome of proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims;

•the impact of losses due to indemnification obligations;

•other factors disclosed under the MD&A and Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and

elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s

opinions only as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements included in this document are

subject to additional risks and uncertainties further discussed under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and are based on information available to

us as of August 6, 2025. We assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Certain risks and uncertainties could

cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are

disclosed from time to time in our Annual Reports on Form 10‑K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10‑Q and Current Reports on Form 8‑K filed

Note 1 — Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Energy Recovery, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Energy Recovery”) designs and manufactures reliable,

high-performance solutions that generate cost savings by increasing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions across several

industries. Leveraging the Company’s pressure exchanger technology, which generates little to no emissions when operating, the Company

believes its solutions lower costs, save energy, reduce waste, and minimize emissions for companies across a variety of commercial and

industrial processes. As the world coalesces around the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts, the Company is helping

companies reduce their energy consumption in their industrial processes, which in turn, reduces their carbon footprint. The Company

believes that its customers do not have to sacrifice quality and cost savings for sustainability and the Company is committed to developing

solutions that drive long-term value – both financial and environmental. The Company’s solutions are marketed, sold in, and developed for,

the fluid-flow and gas markets, such as seawater and wastewater desalination, natural gas, chemical processing and CO2-based refrigeration

systems, under the trademarks ERI®, PX®, Pressure Exchanger®, PX® Pressure Exchanger® (“PX”), Ultra PX™, PX G™, PX G1300®,

PX PowerTrain™, AT™, and Aquabold™. The Company owns, manufactures and/or develops its solutions, in whole or in part, in the United

States of America (the “U.S.”).

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Energy Recovery, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements

prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules

and regulations. The December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements and may

not include all disclosures required by GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information

presented not misleading.

The June 30, 2025 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited

Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual

Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”).

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any

future periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the Company’s management to

make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and

accompanying notes.

The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most

critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are revenue recognition; stock-based compensation expense;

equipment useful life and valuation; goodwill valuation and impairment; inventory valuation and allowances, deferred taxes and valuation

allowances on deferred tax assets; and evaluation and measurement of contingencies. Those estimates could change, and as a result,

actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a

revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of August 6, 2025, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these

estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update these estimates for any

reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by law.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Description of Business and

Significant Accounting Policies - Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8,

“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of the 2024 Annual Report. See Note 12, “Stock-Based Compensation - Performance

Restricted Stock Units” for further discussion regarding the Company’s Performance Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) issued during the six

months ended June 30, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

There have been no issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2025

that apply to the Company other than the pronouncements disclosed in Note 1, “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies -

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8,

“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of the 2024 Annual Report.

Note 3 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) for the reported period is divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding

during the reported period to calculate the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, respectively. Outstanding stock options to purchase

common shares, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and unvested performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are collectively

referred to as “equity awards.”

•Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the

period.

•Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares

outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Any anti-dilutive effect of equity awards outstanding is not

included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

The following tables present the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.

Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company implemented a restructuring plan which included reductions in its

workforce in all functions of the organization, primarily in its San Leandro location, in order to lower the Company’s operating cost structure,

and to position the Company for profitable growth. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $3.0 million in total, of

which $0.5 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company did not record any restructuring charge during

the three months ended June 30, 2025. The total restructuring charge recorded relates to severance and benefits, including reemployment

assistance, for 38 terminated employees, which was approximately 15% of the Company’s workforce. The implementation of the

restructuring plan was substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the Company does not expect to incur

significant additional expenses related to the restructuring. All expenses associated with the Company’s restructuring plan are included in

“Restructuring charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies

Sublease

On March 10, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its Katy, Texas operating lease. The sublease commenced

on March 10, 2025 and will expire on December 31, 2029. The sublease is classified as an operating lease and has a remaining lease term

of 4.5 years as of June 30, 2025. Sublease income was immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and is recorded as

a reduction of lease expense in general and administrative within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company considered the sublease to be an indicator of impairment of the original lease. The Company compared the

undiscounted cash flows from the sublease to the carrying value of the Katy, Texas operating lease, which included the associated right-of-

use asset and leasehold improvements. The Company concluded that the carrying value was not recoverable as it exceeded the estimated

undiscounted cash flows.

The Company calculated the impairment charge by comparing the carrying value of the Katy, Texas operating lease to its fair value,

which was calculated based on the net discounted cash flows associated with the sublease. The Company recorded a total impairment

charge of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, of which $0.2 million and $0.2 million was recorded against the right-of-

use asset and the associated leasehold improvements, respectively. No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended

June 30, 2025. The allocation of the impairment charge was based on the relative carrying value of the assets. The impairment charge was

recorded in general and administrative within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Litigation

From time-to-time, the Company has been named in and subject to various proceedings and claims in connection with its business.

The Company may in the future become involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business, including litigation that could be material to

its business. The Company considers all claims, if any, on a quarterly basis and, based on known facts, assesses whether potential losses

are considered reasonably possible, probable and estimable. Based upon this assessment, the Company then evaluates disclosure

requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in its consolidated financial statements. The Company records a provision for a liability

when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are

reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other

information and events pertaining to a particular case. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was not involved in any lawsuits, legal

proceedings or claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore,

there were no material losses which were probable or reasonably possible.

Effective tax rate	14.0%	(60.5%)	14.0%	10.5%
Effective tax rate, excluding discrete items	13.0%	(76.2%)	13.7%	9.1%

The Company’s interim period tax provision for (benefit from) income taxes is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax

rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective

tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The

Company’s quarterly tax provision and estimate of its annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including

variability in accurately predicting its pre-tax income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, the applicability of special tax

regimes, and changes in how the Company does business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the recognized provision for and (benefit from) income taxes, respectively,

resulted from the tax projection based on the full year forecasted profit and included benefits related to the U.S. federal foreign-derived

intangible income (“FDII”), federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credit, certain permanent differences, such as stock-based

compensation shortfalls, and partial release of California valuation allowance.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the recognized provision for and (benefit from) income taxes, respectively,

resulted from the tax projection based on the full year forecasted profit and included benefits related to the U.S. FDII, federal R&D tax credit,

and certain permanent differences, such as share-based compensation windfalls.

The effective tax rate excluding discrete items for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year, differed

primarily due to lower projected R&D tax credits, increased non-deductible officer stock-based compensation, and lower projected U.S. FDII

benefits.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBA”) Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in

the United States. The OBBA has multiple effective dates, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of these tax law changes on its

financial statements.

discretion of management, repurchase its outstanding common stock in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, in

compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing and amounts of any purchase under the Company’s share

repurchase program is based on market conditions and other factors including price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The

Company accounts for stock repurchases under these programs using the cost method. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased

13.0 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $152.1 million under all share repurchase programs.

February 2025 Authorization

On February 26, 2025, the Company announced that the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company

may repurchase its outstanding common stock, at the discretion of management, for up to $30.0 million in aggregate cost, which includes

both the share value of the acquired common stock and the fees charged in connection with acquiring the common stock (the “February 2025

Authorization”). The February 2025 Authorization will expire in February 2026.

The following table presents the share repurchase activities under the February 2025 Authorization as of June 30, 2025.


	Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share(1)	Plan Activity
			(In millions)
February 2025 Authorization			$30.0
Repurchases under February 2025 Authorization	1,557,208	$13.85	(21.6)
Remaining amount under February 2025 Authorization			$8.4

(1)Excluding commissions

Of the 1,557,208 shares purchased, 1,277,913 and 1,557,208 were purchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025

for $17.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively.

August 2025 Authorization

On August 6, 2025, the Board announced a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase its outstanding

common stock, at the discretion of management, for up to $25.0 million in aggregate cost, which includes both the share value of the

acquired common stock and the fees charged in connection with acquiring the common stock (the “August 2025 Authorization”). The August

2025 Authorization will expire in May 2026.

Note 12 — Stock-based Compensation

Performance Restricted Stock Units

On January 23, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted a new form of PRSU award agreement under the 2020

Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), to among other things, define the terms of the performance metrics and performance period for such

PRSUs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 13,455 and 300,753 PRSUs, respectively.

PRSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2025 generally vest over 3 years and are dependent upon continued employment and meeting

certain cumulative revenue and cumulative adjusted EBITDA targets. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company

defines as net income (loss) which excludes i) depreciation and amortization; ii) stock-based compensation; iii) executive transition costs; iv)

restructuring charges; v) impairment of long-lived assets; vi) other income, net, such as interest income and other non-operating expense,

net; and vii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes. As PRSUs vest, the units will be settled in shares of common stock. The number of

potential shares issued based on PRSUs granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is dependent on the level of

achievement of the performance targets discussed above, which ranges from 0 shares to up to 38,961 and 902,259 shares of common stock,

respectively. The units are valued based on the Company’s market price on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2025, no expense has been

recognized in relation to the PRSUs as the performance conditions are not considered probable.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations

Overview

Energy Recovery, Inc. (the “Company”, “Energy Recovery”, “we”, “our” and “us”) designs and manufactures solutions that make

industrial processes more efficient and sustainable. Leveraging our pressure exchanger technology, which generates little to no emissions

when operating, we believe our solutions lower costs, save energy, reduce waste, and minimize emissions for companies across a variety of

commercial and industrial processes. As the world coalesces around the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts, we are

helping companies reduce their energy consumption in their industrial processes, which in turn, reduces their carbon footprint. We believe

that our customers do not have to sacrifice quality and cost savings for sustainability and we are committed to developing solutions that drive

long-term value – both financial and environmental.

The original product application of our technology, the PX® Pressure Exchanger® (“PX”) energy recovery device, was a major

contributor to the advancement of seawater reverse osmosis desalination (“SWRO”), significantly lowering the energy intensity and cost of

water production globally from SWRO. Our pressure exchanger technology is being applied to the wastewater filtration market, such as

battery manufacturers, mining operations, municipalities, and other manufacturing plants that discharge wastewater with significant levels of

metals and pollutants, and has also been applied to the development of our PX G1300® for use in the CO2 market.

Engineering, and research and development (“R&D”), have been, and remain, an essential part of our history, culture and corporate

strategy. Since our formation, we have developed leading technology and engineering expertise through the continual evolution of our

pressure exchanger technology, which can enhance environmental sustainability and improve productivity by reducing waste and energy

consumption in high-pressure industrial fluid-flow systems. This versatile technology works as a platform to build product applications and is

at the heart of many of our products. In addition, we have engineered and developed ancillary devices, such as our hydraulic turbochargers

and circulation “booster” pumps, that complement our energy recovery devices.

Segments

Our reportable operating segments consist of the water and emerging technologies segments. These segments are based on the

industries in which the technology solutions are sold, the type of energy recovery device or other technology sold and the related solution and

service or, in the case of emerging technologies, where revenues from new and/or potential devices utilizing our pressure exchanger

technology can be brought to market. Other factors for determining the reportable operating segments include the manner in which our Chief

Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), our President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates our performance combined with the nature of the

individual business activities. In addition, our corporate operating expenses include expenditures in support of the water and emerging

technologies segments. We continue to monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to

determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.

Results of Operations

A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared

to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, is presented below.

Revenue

As a significant portion of our revenue is derived from large project contract deliveries that are between 16 to 36 months from contract

date, variability in revenue from quarter to quarter is typical, therefore year-on-year comparisons are not necessarily indicative of the trend for

the full year due to these variations. There is no specific seasonality in our revenues to highlight.

We generally track our revenues by channels. The channels we recognize and channel definitions we utilize are as follows:

•Megaproject (“MPD”) channel: The MPD channel has been the main driver of our long-term growth as revenue from this channel

benefits from a growing number of projects as well as an increase in the capacity of these projects in some cases. MPD projects

are large-scale in nature and generally have shipment timelines from 16 to 36 months from contract date. Recognition of

revenue is dependent on customers’ project timing and execution of these projects.

•Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) channel: The OEM channel reflects sales to a wide variety of industries in the

desalination, wastewater, and the refrigeration markets. This channel contains projects smaller in size and revenue, and of

shorter duration compared to those projects in the MPD channel.

•Aftermarket (“AM”) channel: The AM channel represents support and services rendered to our installed customer base. AM

revenue generally fluctuates from year-to-year and is dependent on our customers’ timing of product upgrades, as well as their

replenishment of spare parts and supplies.

Three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024

The decrease in MPD revenue of $1.0 million was due primarily to lower shipments of products to the Middle East and Africa (“MEA”)

and Asia markets, partially offset by higher shipments of products to the Europe market.

The increase in OEM revenue of $1.4 million was due primarily to:

•Wastewater: The increase in revenue of $1.7 million was due primarily to higher shipments of products to the Asia and Europe

markets, partially offset by lower shipments of products to the Americas market.

•Desalination: The decrease in revenue of $0.4 million was due primarily to lower shipments of products to the Europe, MEA, and

Americas markets, partially offset by higher shipments of products to the Asia market.

The increase in AM revenue of $0.5 million was due primarily to higher shipments of products to the Europe and Asia markets.

Six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024

The decrease in MPD revenue of $5.1 million was due primarily to lower shipments to the MEA, Asia, and Americas markets, partially

offset by higher shipments of products to the Europe market.

The increase in OEM revenue of $2.1 million was primarily due:

•Wastewater: The increase in revenue of $1.7 million was due primarily to higher shipments of products to the Asia and Europe

markets.

•Desalination: The increase in revenue of $0.3 million was due primarily to higher shipments to the Asia market, partially offset by

lower shipments to the Americas, Europe, and MEA markets.

Concentration of Revenue

See Note 10, “Concentrations,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements

(unaudited),” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Notes”) for further discussion regarding our concentration of revenue.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, personnel costs (including

stock-based compensation), manufacturing overhead, warranty costs, and depreciation expense.


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025	2024	Change	2025	2024	Change

Gross margin	64.0%	64.6%	(60) bps	62.1%	62.9%	(80) bps

The increase in gross profit and decrease in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year,

was due primarily to costs related to product mix and tariffs.

The decrease in gross profit and gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year, was due

primarily to costs related to product mix and tariffs during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Operating Expenses

The total material changes of general and administrative (“G&A”), sales and marketing (“S&M”) and R&D operating expenses for the

three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, are discussed within the following

overall operating expenditures, and the segment and corporate operating expenses discussions below.

Three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024

Overall Operating Expenditures. Overall operating expenditures decreased $3.1 million, or (15.8%). This decrease was due primarily

to lower employee compensation costs, a severance charge in the three months ended June 30, 2024 that did not recur and higher

consulting costs incurred in the previous year related to our corporate strategy.

Energy Recovery, Inc. | Q2'2025 Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) | 27

Water Segment. Water segment operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or (9.0)%. This decrease was due primarily to lower

employee compensation costs, including stock-based compensation.

Emerging Technologies Segment. Emerging Technologies segment operating expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or (28.2%). This

decrease was due primarily to lower employee compensation costs.

Corporate Operating Expenses. Corporate operating expenses decreased by $0.9 million, or (12.7%). This decrease was due

primarily to higher consulting costs incurred in the previous year related to our corporate strategy.

Six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024

Overall Operating Expenditures. Overall operating expenditures decreased by $4.1 million, or (11.0%). This decrease was due

primarily to a decrease in employee costs, such as employee compensation and stock-based compensation as well as severance charges

incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that did not recur, partially offset by restructuring charges, and an increase in consulting

costs. Changes in non-employee costs included:

•G&A: higher consulting costs related to the enhancement of our corporate strategy as well as $0.4 million of impairment costs

associated with the sublease of our Katy, Texas lease.

•R&D: lower Emerging Technologies segment development costs.

Water Segment. Water segment operating expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or (9.4%). This decrease was due primarily to lower

employee costs, including stock-based compensation costs.

Emerging Technologies Segment. Emerging Technologies operating expenses decreased by $3.7 million, or (31.6%). This decrease

was due primarily to lower employee costs, including stock-based compensation, as well as lower development costs.

Corporate Operating Expenses. Corporate operating expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 6.4%. This increase was primarily due

to higher consulting costs, restructuring charges and impairment costs associated with the sublease of the Katy, Texas lease incurred during

the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by lower employee costs.

Restructuring Charges. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we implemented a restructuring plan which included reductions

in our workforce in all functions of the organization, primarily in our San Leandro location, in order to lower our operating cost structure, and

to position the Company for profitable growth. We recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $3.0 million, of which $0.5 million was

recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The company did not record a restructuring charge during the three

months ended June 30, 2025. The total restructuring charge relates to severance and benefits, including reemployment assistance, for

38 terminated employees, which was approximately 15% of our workforce. The implementation of the restructuring plan was substantially

complete by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and the Company does not expect to incur significant additional expenses related

to the restructuring. See Note 4, “Other Financial Information – Restructuring,” of the Notes for further discussion and disclosure on our

restructuring program.

Effective tax rate	14.0%	(60.5%)	14.0%	10.5%
Effective tax rate, excluding discrete items	13.0%	(76.2%)	13.7%	9.1%

The interim period tax provision for (benefit from) income taxes is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate,

adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if

the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax provision and estimate

of our annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax income

or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, the applicability of special tax regimes, and changes in how we do business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the recognized provision for and (benefit from) income taxes, respectively,

resulted from the tax projection based on the full year forecasted profit and included benefits related to the U.S. federal foreign-derived

intangible income (“FDII”), federal R&D tax credit, certain permanent differences, such as stock-based compensation shortfalls, and partial

release of California valuation allowance.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the recognized provision for and (benefit from) income taxes, respectively,

resulted from the tax projection based on the full year forecasted profit and included benefits related to the U.S. FDII, federal R&D tax credit,

and certain permanent differences, such as share-based compensation windfalls.

The effective tax rate excluding discrete items for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year, differed

primarily due to lower projected R&D tax credits, increased non-deductible officer stock-based compensation, and lower projected U.S. FDII

benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

From time-to-time, management and our Board of Directors (the “Board”) review our liquidity and future cash needs and may make a

decision to (1) return capital to our shareholders through a share repurchase program or dividend payout; or (2) seek additional debt or equity

financing. As of June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of (i) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $57.1 million that

are primarily invested in money market funds and U.S. treasury securities; (ii) investment-grade short-term and long-term marketable debt

instruments of $36.6 million that are primarily invested in U.S. treasury securities, corporate notes and bonds, and municipal and agency

notes and bonds; and (iii) accounts receivable, net of allowances, of $32.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, there was unrestricted cash of

$0.9 million held outside the U.S. We invest cash not needed for current operations predominantly in investment-grade, marketable debt

instruments with the intent to make such funds available for future operating purposes, as needed. Although these securities are available for

sale, we generally hold these securities to maturity, and therefore, do not currently see a need to trade these securities in order to support our

liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. We believe the risk of this portfolio to us is in the ability of the underlying companies or government

agencies to cover their obligations at maturity, not in our ability to trade these securities at a profit. Based on current projections, we believe

existing cash balances and future cash inflows from this portfolio will meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

Credit Agreement

We entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. on December 22, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement, which will expire on December 21, 2026, provides a committed revolving credit line of $50.0 million and includes both

a revolving loan and a letters of credit (“LCs”) component. The maximum allowable LCs under the credit line component of the Credit

Agreement is $30.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2025, there were no revolving loans outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, under

the LCs component, we utilized $16.8 million of the maximum allowable credit line of $30.0 million, which included newly issued LCs, and

previously issued and unexpired stand-by letters of credits (“SBLCs”). As of June 30, 2025, there was $16.8 million of outstanding LCs.

These LCs had a weighted average remaining life of approximately 19 months.

See Note 6, “Lines of Credit,” of the Notes for further discussion related to the Credit Agreement.

Share Repurchase Program

The Board, from time-to-time, has authorized a share repurchase program under which we may, at our discretion, repurchase the

Company’s outstanding common stock in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable state and

federal securities laws. The timing and amounts of any purchase under the share repurchase programs are based on market conditions and

other factors including price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. We account for stock repurchases under these programs using

the cost method. As of June 30, 2025, we have cumulatively repurchased 13.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an

aggregate cost of $152.1 million under all closed share repurchase programs. The following is a discussion of the current share repurchase

program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. See Note 11, “Stockholders’ Equity – Share Repurchase Program,” of the

Notes for further discussion related to share repurchase programs and a reconciliation of the latest share repurchase plan balance.

On February 26, 2025, we announced that the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase our

outstanding common stock, at the discretion of management, up to $30.0 million in aggregate cost, which includes both the share value of the

acquired common stock and the fees charged in connection with acquiring the common stock (the “February 2025 Authorization”). We began

repurchasing our outstanding common stock in March 2025. The February 2025 Authorization will expire in February 2026.

On August 6, 2025, the Board announced a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase our outstanding common

stock, at the discretion of management, up to $25.0 million in aggregate cost, which includes both the share value of the acquired common

stock and the fees charged in connection with acquiring the common stock (the “August 2025 Authorization”). We expect to commence

repurchasing our outstanding common stock under the August 2025 Authorization during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The August

2025 Authorization will expire in May 2026.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities is subject to the project driven, non-cyclical nature of our business. Operating cash flow can

fluctuate significantly from reporting period to reporting period, due to the timing of receipts of large project orders. Operating cash flow may

be negative in one reporting period and significantly positive in the next. Consequently, individual reporting period results and comparisons

may not necessarily indicate a significant trend, either positive or negative.

The higher net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior

year, was due primarily to the following factors:

•Accounts receivable: an increase in cash due to an increase in collections related to revenues earned late in the fourth quarter of

2024; partially offset by

•Accounts payables: a decrease in cash due to the timing of the payments made on our outstanding payables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities primarily relates to maturities and purchases of investment-grade marketable debt

instruments, such as corporate notes and bonds, and capital expenditures supporting our growth. We believe our investments in marketable

debt instruments are structured to preserve principal and liquidity while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing

risk. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities of $77.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the

prior year, was primarily driven by less cash used for purchases of marketable debt instruments, net of cash proceeds from maturities of

marketable debt instruments, of $76.8 million and a decrease in capital expenditures of $0.7 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower as compared to the cash provided by

financing activities in the prior year, due primarily to cash used for the repurchase of our common stock under the February 2025

Authorization and payment of associated excise tax, as well as a decrease in cash from exercises of employee stock options granted under

our equity incentive plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Requirements

We believe that our existing resources and cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital

requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness to continue

to fund our operations or to support acquisitions in the future and/or to fund investments in our latest technology arising from rapid market

adoption. These needs could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our future capital requirements will depend on many

factors including the continuing market acceptance of our products, our rate of revenue growth, the timing of new product introductions, the

expansion of our R&D, manufacturing and S&M activities, and the timing and extent of our expansion into new geographic territories. In

addition, we may enter into potential material investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies in the

future which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Should we need additional liquidity or capital funds, these funds

may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk may be found primarily in two areas, foreign currency and interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our foreign currency exposures are due to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar (“USD”) versus the British pound, Saudi

riyal, Emirati dirham, European euro, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee and Canadian dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely

affect our consolidated operating results or financial position.

Our revenue contracts have been denominated in the USD. At times, our international customers may have difficulty obtaining

the USD to pay our receivables, thus increasing collection risk and potential bad debt expense. To the extent we expand our international

sales, a larger portion of our revenue could be denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, our cash and operating results could be

increasingly affected by changes in exchange rates.

In addition, we pay many vendors in foreign currency and, therefore, are subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our

international sales and service operations incur expense that is denominated in foreign currencies. This expense could be materially affected

by currency fluctuations. Our international sales and services operations also maintain cash balances denominated in foreign currencies. To

decrease the inherent risk associated with translation of foreign cash balances into our reporting currency, we do not maintain excess cash

balances in foreign currencies.

We have not hedged our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates because expenses in foreign currencies have been

insignificant to date and exchange rate fluctuations have had little impact on our operating results and cash flows. In addition, we do not

have any exposure to the Russian ruble.

Interest Rate and Credit Risks

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal and liquidity while at the same time maximizing yields without

significantly increasing risk. We invest primarily in investment-grade short-term and long-term marketable debt instruments that are subject

to counter-party credit risk. To minimize this risk, we invest pursuant to an investment policy approved by the Board. The policy mandates

high credit rating requirements and restricts our exposure to any single corporate issuer by imposing concentration limits.

As of June 30, 2025, our investment portfolio of $40.6 million, in investment-grade marketable debt instruments, such as U.S. treasury

securities, corporate notes and bonds, and municipal and agency notes and bonds, are classified as either cash equivalents or short-term

and/or long-term investments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are subject to interest rate fluctuations

and decrease in market value to the extent interest rates increase, which occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025. To minimize

the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we maintain investments with a weighted average maturity of approximately thirteen

months. As of June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would have resulted in a less than $0.3 million decrease in the fair

value of our investments in marketable debt instruments as of such date.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated

the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the

end of the period covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of

June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially

affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

We have been, and may be from time to time, involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of

business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business,

financial condition, or operating results. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because

of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be

obtained.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,”

in the 2024 Annual Report.

Changes in U.S. policy, including the imposition of or increases in tariffs, changes to existing trade agreements and any

resulting changes in international trade relations, such as reciprocal tariffs or trade wars, particularly with regard to China, may

have a material adverse impact on impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

In January 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the U.S. implementing new and/or increased tariffs on

various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products. Certain foreign countries, including China have, and may

continue to, change their tariff policies in response to changes in the U.S. tariff policy.

These recent tariffs and the subsequent retaliatory tariffs could increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell

products globally, particularly in China, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. So far, these new tariffs and

trade policies have not had a significant impact on our business operations and financial results, primarily due to our prior efforts to

accumulate and maintain inventories at favorable cost levels. However, there is no guarantee that we can avoid the impact of tariff and

related economic effects in the future, and these trade measures and retaliations may directly impact our business by increasing trade-related

costs or affecting the demand for our products globally, and specifically in China.

Any further unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for our

products and services, impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from selling products in certain countries. If any new

tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated or, in particular, if the U.S. government

takes retaliatory trade actions due to the recent U.S.-China trade tension, such changes could have an adverse effect on our business,

financial condition and results of operations.
