Speaker #3: Thanks, Jeff, and welcome everyone to our second quarter 2026 earnings call. We'll begin on slide 4. Our theme for today's call is ambition and execution.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks, Jeff, and welcome everyone to our Q2 2026 earnings call. We will begin on slide 4. Our theme for today's call is ambition and execution. When we set out on this journey as T1, our ambition was clear: to build the first vertically integrated American silicon-based solar company. Every milestone we have reached and every initiative we have pursued has been a step towards that North Star. Today, I am pleased to report that we are executing that mission across every dimension of our business while remaining focused on the most important open items on our to-do list. As a growth company building out our American supply chain, capital is the lifeblood of our strategy, and through a series of capital market transactions, we have been advancing construction of the 2.1 gigawatt phase 1 of our G2 Austin, T1's solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas.

Speaker #3: As we have noted previously, we have been funding construction of G2 Austin opportunistically with junior capital, because the capital markets have signaled an appetite to underwrite our growth with equity and equity-linked instruments at the most favorable terms and conditions.

Dan Barcelo: As we have noted previously, we have been funding construction of G2 Austin opportunistically with junior capital because the capital markets have signaled an appetite to underwrite our growth with equity and equity-linked instruments at the most favorable terms and conditions. In July, we executed a $120 million private placement of convertible notes, which is intended to bridge us to the comprehensive financing solution that we have been pursuing for several months. We view these financings as a means to an end, and we remain focused on this comprehensive financing based on a significant debt component, which we believe represents the most attractive combination of structure, quantum, cost, duration, and counterparty. In the interim, the continued support we have received from our convertible and equity investors has enabled us to keep G2 moving while we advance our other key strategic initiatives.

Speaker #3: On the policy front, the Trump administration issued a Section 232 proclamation last week, we believe this new framework aligns with T1's commitment to establish the first end-to-end domestic polysilicon solar supply chain built on leading U.S.

Dan Barcelo: On the policy front, the Trump administration issued a Section 232 proclamation last week. We believe this new framework aligns with T1's commitment to establish the first end-to-end domestic polysilicon solar supply chain built on leading US technology. While we and other industry participants are still working through the details, we believe we are witnessing the beginnings of a major American solar manufacturing industry. Andy will share more about 232 momentarily. Commercially, we announced a significant achievement just last week. T1 has executed a strategic off-take deal with Clearway Energy Group to supply 641 megawatts of G1 Dallas modules built with domestic solar cells from G2 Austin. This agreement augments our existing 900 megawatt Treaty Oak contract and further validates the demand for what T1 intends to uniquely offer once G2 Austin is online.

Dan Barcelo: Technology transfer is a multi-stage process, and we believe that owning the industry's leading intellectual property is a necessary element of T1's plan to build an American solar champion. T1's domestic solar manufacturing platform and emergence as a significant player in the sector has unearthed several opportunities to expand our partnership network and revenue share with IPPs, developers, and hyperscalers. Earlier this summer, we closed on one such opportunity with the acquisition of Core Power, which we have rebranded as T1 NRI. NRI has a 50-year history of providing power system solutions to blue-chip customers in the industrial data center and government sectors. We believe this acquisition of a capital-light, high-margin business that provides T1 with a presence in the best and data center support markets is an ideal complement to our solar business. NRI also brings world-class engineering talent to our organization.

Dan Barcelo: I'd like to welcome Jay Bellows and the entire NRI team to the T1 family. We are excited to have you on board, and we look forward to growing the business together. Turning to Europe, we continue to advance our value optimization initiative for our legacy assets. Data center development in the Nordic region has been ramping up, and we believe that our data center asset in Mo i Rana, Norway, which has been granted a 50-megawatt power allowance from the Norwegian grid operator, is an attractive strategic target. We are currently engaged in multiple conversations to explore monetization pathways through a variety of structures, and we are excited to share more details about the path forward as it's appropriate. At G2 Austin, our flagship US solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas, construction is progressing steadily.

Speaker #3: At G2 Austin, our flagship U.S. solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas, construction is progressing steadily. The building is now ready for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation, and all key shipments from our production line equipment vendor are either on the water or already in the U.S.

Dan Barcelo: The building is now ready for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation, and all key shipments from our production line equipment vendor are either on the water or already in the US. As we indicated in our recent Q2 preliminary results announcement, first cell production is expected in Q1 2027. At G1 Dallas, production volumes moved higher sequentially throughout the second quarter, during which we produced 935 megawatts of solar modules. Based on our continued success in sourcing cells from the non-FEOC international suppliers and firming customer demand, we now expect full year 2026 production and sales to fall near the high end of our guidance range of 3.1 to 4.2 gigawatts. Taken together, these achievements represent a company that is moving forward with purpose. Let's now go through each of these in more detail, starting with an overview of the Section 232 ruling and the implications for T1.

Dan Barcelo: I'll now hand the call over to our Chief Legal and Policy Officer, Andy Munro, to walk you through it. Andy?

Speaker #2: Thanks, Dan. Please turn to slide five. As Dan mentioned, following a lengthy investigation, President Trump signed the Section 232 proclamation last week. We believe this framework represents a major step forward in the development of the domestic solar and polysilicon industries.

Andy Munro: Thanks, Dan. Please turn to slide 5. As Dan mentioned, following a lengthy investigation, President Trump signed the Section 232 proclamation last week. We believe this framework represents a major step forward in the development of the domestic solar and polysilicon industries, which T1 adamantly supports. The key tenets of the proclamation are the imposition of minimum import prices and ad valorem tariffs on solar modules and sub-components. These measures are designed to provide tangible economic and strategic incentives to invest in domestic solar capacity and the emerging US polysilicon solar supply chain to support the semiconductor and solar industry, which is precisely what T1 is doing. The framework also provides an opportunity to access tariff offsets for companies who have committed investments to establish domestic manufacturing capacity, such as T1's G2 Austin US solar cell fab.

Speaker #2: Which T1 adamantly supports. The key tenets of the proclamation are the imposition of minimum import prices and ad valorem tariffs on solar modules and subcomponents.

Andy Munro: The framework also provides an opportunity to access tariff offsets for companies who have committed investments to establish domestic manufacturing capacity, such as T1's G2 Austin US solar cell fab. These benefits are tied to a facility's construction period and are contingent upon making significant progress to the satisfaction of Commerce. With G2 Austin's 2.1 gigawatt phase 1 currently under construction, and with plans to expand G2 to 5 gigawatts or more in the subsequent phase 2, we believe that T1's strategy is aligned with this framework.

Speaker #2: solar cell fab. These benefits are tied to a facilities construction period and are contingent upon making significant progress to the satisfaction of commerce. With G2 Austin's $2.1 gigawatt phase 1 currently under construction, and with plans to expand G2 to 5 gigawatts or more in the subsequent phase 2, we believe that T1's strategy is aligned with this framework.

We maintain a healthy dialogue with the Commerce Department, and we will continue to work with them during and following the 120-day period prior to implementation. In the interim, we applaud the Section 232 proclamation, and T1 will continue to champion the virtues of building a robust end-to-end polysilicon-based solar supply chain here in America. Now I'll turn the call back over to Dan.

Speaker #2: And now, I'll turn the call back over to Dan.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Andy. Please turn to slide 6. The acquisition of TOPCon intellectual property from EverVolt Green Energy is one of the most consequential steps we have taken to differentiate T1 in the U.S.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks, Andy. Please turn to slide 6. The acquisition of TOPCon intellectual property from Evervolt Green Energy is one of the most consequential steps we have taken to differentiate T1 in the US solar market. TOPCon is the world's leading commercialized solar cell technology, and T1 had been licensing this IP since our founding. With this transaction, we have converted an ongoing licensing obligation into owned strategic intellectual property. We estimate the acquisition is NPV positive versus the prior licensing arrangement, and it eliminates projected licensing fees over the life of the previous IP agreement. The financial logic, while compelling, is only part of the story. As an American-owned, listed, and led company with US ownership of TOPCon IP, a distinction that matters to our customers and to policymakers.

Speaker #3: solar market. TOPCon is the world’s leading commercialized solar cell technology, and T1 had been licensing this IP since our founding. With this transaction, we have converted an ongoing licensing obligation into owned strategic intellectual property.

Speaker #3: We estimate the acquisition is NPV positive versus the prior licensing arrangement, and it eliminates projected licensing fees over the life of the previous IP agreement.

Speaker #3: The financial logic, while compelling, is only part of the story. As an American-owned listed and led company with U.S. ownership of TOPCon IP, a distinction that matters to our customers and to policymakers.

Speaker #3: And with the potential to license this technology to third parties, we have the optionality to generate a new revenue stream as the U.S. domestic solar market grows.

Dan Barcelo: With the potential to license this technology to third parties, we have optionality to generate a new revenue stream as the US domestic solar market grows. When you look at the full picture of T1's value proposition to customers, which is based on 5 gigawatts of US module capacity at G1 Dallas, 2.1 gigawatts of US solar cell fab capacity under construction at G2 Austin, American ownership, access to US polysilicon and wafers through Hemlock and Corning, US ownership of TOPCon IP, and expectations to have available 2027 and 2028 module and cell volumes, we believe that no other American solar manufacturer can bring customers what T1 offers. We are building something genuinely unique in this market, and this IP acquisition adds another layer to that differentiation. Now let's turn to slide 7 for an update on construction progress at G2 Austin.

Speaker #3: When you look at the full picture of T1's value proposition to customers, which is based on 5 gigawatts of U.S. module capacity at G1 Dallas, $2.1 gigawatts of U.S.

Speaker #3: solar cell fab capacity under construction at G2 Austin, American ownership, access to U.S. polysilicon and wafers through Hemlock and Corning, U.S. ownership expectations to have available 2027 and 2028 module and cell volumes, we believe that no other American solar manufacturer can bring customers what T1 offers.

Speaker #3: We are building something genuinely unique in this market, and this IP acquisition adds another layer to that differentiation. Now let's turn to slide 7 for an update on construction progress at G2 Austin.

Speaker #3: As you can see from the photos in this presentation and from our social media channels, G2 Austin is taking shape. The building is ready for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment installation, and steel topping out is scheduled for August.

Dan Barcelo: As you can see from the photos in this presentation and from our social media channels, G2 Austin is taking shape. The building is ready for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment installation, and steel topping out is scheduled for August, a meaningful milestone that marks the structural completion of the building. We have already ordered the long lead time clean room equipment, and we expect to commence clean room installation later in Q3. Even more importantly, all key phase one production line equipment is either already in US ports or on the water, and we expect production line equipment installation to begin in Q4 of this year. On the civil side, we finalized the contract for the central utility plant and wastewater management plant during the quarter. The main production building is expected to be complete in Q4, setting the stage for equipment installation and final commissioning.

Speaker #3: A meaningful milestone that marks the structural completion of the building. We have already ordered the long lead time clean room equipment, and we expect to commence clean room installation later in Q3.

Speaker #3: Even more importantly, all key phase 1 production line equipment is either already in U.S. ports or on the water, and we expect production line equipment installation to begin in Q4 of this year.

Speaker #3: On the civil side, we finalized the contract for the Central Utility Plant and Wastewater Management Plant during the quarter. The main production building is expected to be complete in Q4, setting the stage for equipment installation and final commissioning.

Speaker #3: To allow our team to proceed with an optimized installation and commissioning process of all three production lines, we are targeting a start of cell production in Q1 2027.

Dan Barcelo: To allow our team to proceed with an optimized installation and commissioning process of all three production lines, we are targeting a start of cell production in Q1 2027. This timeline positions T1 to begin ramping up cell production at G2 during the first half of 2027, which is the key to unlocking the step change in T1's earnings power and cash flow that has been the foundation of our investment thesis. Now let's turn to slide 8 for an update on operations at G1 Dallas. G1 Dallas had a solid Q2. We produced 935 megawatts of solar modules, which was the second highest quarterly production of the facility. Production volumes moved higher each month during Q2. Our operations team at the factory continues to demonstrate world-class capability, and G1 is expected to achieve production and sales near the high end of our 2026 targets.

Speaker #3: This timeline positions T1 to begin ramping up cell production at G2 during the first half of 2027, which is the key to unlocking the step change in T1's earnings power and cash flow that has been the foundation of our investment thesis.

Speaker #3: Now, let's turn to slide 8 for an update on operations at G1 Dallas. G1 Dallas had a solid second quarter. We produced 935 megawatts of solar modules, which was the second highest quarterly production at the facility.

Speaker #3: Production volumes moved higher each month during Q2. Our operations team at the factory continues to demonstrate world-class capability, and G1 is expected to achieve production and sales near the high end of our 2026 targets.

Speaker #3: On the commercial front, we recently announced a $641 megawatt strategic offtake with Clearway Energy. This marks the second significant offtake contract for G1 modules, with G2 cells that T1 has negotiated and secured directly with an established U.S.

Dan Barcelo: On the commercial front, we recently announced a 641 megawatt strategic offtake with Clearway Energy. This marks the second significant offtake contract for G1 modules with G2 cells that T1 has negotiated and secured directly with an established US utility scale developer. We view these commercial successes as validation of T1's integrated domestic content strategy from the US marketplace. For 2027 and beyond, our strategy and competitive offering are resonating with customers at a time when US electricity demand is growing meaningfully and AI infrastructure development requires power at speed and scale. Domestically produced TOPCon cells simply aren't available in the US today at scale, and our available capacity of G1 modules made with domestically produced G2 cells is attracting widespread interest at prices above the levels at which we have previously secured contracts.

Speaker #3: utility-scale developer. We view these commercial successes as validation of T1's integrated domestic content strategy for the U.S. marketplace. For 2027 and beyond, our strategy and competitive offering are resonating with customers at a time when U.S.

Speaker #3: Electricity demand is growing meaningfully, and AI infrastructure development requires power at speed and scale. Domestically produced TOPCon cells simply aren't available in the U.S.

Speaker #3: today at scale, and our available capacity of G1 modules made with domestically produced G2 cells is attracting widespread interest at prices above the levels at which we have previously secured contracts.

Speaker #3: While we continue to de-risk our business case through our financing and advancing constructions at G2, our 3 gigawatts of contract coverage for 2026 and our growing offtake portfolio for 2027 and beyond provide T1 with solid top line and gross margin visibility.

Dan Barcelo: While we continue to de-risk our business case through our financing and advancing constructions at G2, our 3 gigawatts of contract coverage for 2026 and our growing offtake portfolio for 2027 and beyond provide T1 with solid top line and gross margin visibility. With that, I'll turn the call over to Evan Calio, our CFO, for a review of our financials and an update on our capital formation activities. Evan?

Speaker #3: And with that, I'll turn the call over to Evan Calio, our CFO, for a review of our financials and an update on our capital formation activities.

Speaker #3: Evan?

Speaker #4: Thanks, Jan. Please turn to slide 9. Q1 delivered strong second-quarter financial results and is well positioned to generate improving performance in the second half of '26.

Evan Calio: Thanks, Dan. Please turn to slide 9. T1 delivered strong Q2 financial results and is well-positioned to generate improving performance in H2 2026. On production, as Dan just mentioned, we produced 935 megawatts of solar modules in Q2. Gross margins were 19.5%, an improvement of roughly 300 basis points versus Q1, reflecting higher throughput and a favorable mix of deliveries under our fixed margin and cost plus offtake contracts. Q2 adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million, inclusive of a non-recurring IEEPA tariff refund of $24 million that we received subsequent to the end of Q2. On our quarterly adjusted EBITDA, SG&A to third parties was significantly higher in Q2 versus Q1. Higher SG&A in Q2 was largely event-driven. We executed a convertible offering in April.

Speaker #4: Q2 adjusted EBITDA was 10.7 million inclusive of a non-recurring IEPA tariff refund of $24 million that we received subsequent to the end of the second quarter.

Speaker #4: On our quarterly adjusted EBITDA, SG&A to third parties was significantly higher in Q2 versus one Q, higher SG&A in Q2 was largely event-driven, we executed a convertible offering in April, we've been incurring advisory and legal fees associated with our comprehensive financing, and we have two ongoing litigation cases as well as other matters that require legal support.

Evan Calio: We have been incurring advisory and legal fees associated with our comprehensive financing, and we have two ongoing litigation cases, as well as other matters that require legal support. Further, we are building an organization for significant growth at G2 and relative to our module facility at G1. Looking at the balance sheet, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $149 million at the end of Q2. Given the current and projected cadence of capital expenditures on G2 and our continued pursuit of a comprehensive G2 financing solution, we elected to raise an additional $120 million of gross proceeds last week through a private placement of convertible notes. On the production and EBITDA outlook, we expect Q3 and Q4 run rates to exceed Q2 as deliveries ramp in H2.

Speaker #4: Further, we are building an organization for significant growth at G2 and relative to our module facility at G1. Looking at the balance sheet, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $149 million at the end of the second quarter.

Speaker #4: On the production and EBITDA outlook, we expect Q3 and Q4 run rates to exceed Q2 as deliveries ramp in the second half. We continue to believe full-year 2026 production will fall within the high end of our 3.1 to 4.2 gigawatt guidance range and we expected we expect adjusted EBITDA to improve for the balance of the year.

Evan Calio: We continue to believe full year 2026 production will fall within the high end of our 3.1 to 4.2 gigawatt guidance range, and we expect adjusted EBITDA to improve for the balance of the year. There are no changes to our run rate guidance for integrated production. We are targeting a run rate of $375 million to $450 million for phase one, and we are targeting a run rate of $650 million to $700 million for the matched 5 gigawatts of G1 and G2 volumes. Turning to capital formation. In August, we closed a $120 million private offering of convertible notes due 2031. The transaction is intended to serve as a bridge to the comprehensive financing solution we are targeting to fund for the remaining balance of capital expenditures for phase one of G2 Austin, which includes a significant debt component.

Speaker #4: There are no changes to our run rate guidance for integrated production. We're targeting a run rate of 375 to 450 million for phase 1, and we're targeting a run rate of 650 to 700 million for the matched 5 gigawatts of G1 and G2 volumes.

Speaker #4: Turning to capital formation, in August we closed a $120 million private offering of convertible notes due 2031. The transaction is intended to serve as a bridge to the comprehensive financing solution we're targeting to fund the remaining balance of capital expenditures for Phase 1 of G2 Austin.

Speaker #4: Which includes a significant debt component. We believe this bridge puts us in a strong position to finalize the comprehensive solution, while keeping G2 construction on schedule.

Evan Calio: We believe this bridge puts us in a strong position to finalize the comprehensive solution while keeping G2 construction on schedule. We have a management team with deep capital markets experience, and we have applied that experience throughout this process, sequencing our funding sources carefully to balance the cost, structure, quantum, and duration. Our confidence in our ability to close this financing is grounded in the ongoing dialogue and an appreciation of value of what T1 is building. These conversations have yielded a preferred financing solution, which remains our target because we believe it continues to offer the most attractive combination of cost, structure, and quantum. In our estimation, bridging to this targeted financing, while not in our initial plans, is clearly in the best long-term interests of T1, our shareholders, customers, and partners.

Speaker #4: And now, I'll turn it back to Dan for closing remarks.

Evan Calio: I will turn it back to Dan for closing remarks.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Evan. Let's turn to slide 10. As we look at the path ahead, our strategic priorities remain clear and consistent. Build, fund, operate, and engage.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks, Evan. Let's turn to slide 10. As we look at the path ahead, our strategic priorities remain clear and consistent: build, fund, operate, and engage. On building energy and building America are at the heart of T1's corporate ethos. There is also a practical commitment to build this company into an industry leader founded on world-class assets and technology. As we have chronicled on social media and through this quarterly update, the G2 team is advancing construction, hitting significant milestones, and working through the necessary steps to complete the G2 facility while we ship production line equipment to the US. We also have continued to build T1's commercial presence with major utility scale customers. The Clearway offtake deal this quarter is another proof point that T1's unique value proposition is resonating in the market.

Speaker #2: We also continue to build T1’s commercial presence with major utility-scale customers. The Clearway offtake deal this quarter is another proof point that T1’s unique value proposition is resonating in the market.

Speaker #2: And with our ownership of TOPCon IP, we have a new tool to leverage our position and enhance our U.S. solar partnership network. On funding, Evan detailed the $120 million convertible notes offering that is intended to serve as our bridge to the comprehensive financing solution for G2 Phase 1 we are targeting.

Dan Barcelo: With our ownership of TOPCon IP, we have a new tool to leverage our position and enhance our US solar partnership network. On funding, Evan detailed the $120 million convertible notes offering that is intended to serve as our bridge to the comprehensive financing solution for G2 phase one we are targeting. Securing that solution, which is based on a significant debt component, remains our number one priority. In Europe, our team is advancing discussions with multiple potential counterparties to optimize the value of our asset portfolio, consisting of our data center asset, grid allowance, and NOL carryforwards. On operations, T1 is a hypergrowth company with big ambitions. We are on a path to building a much larger business. We are committed to continuously improving our operational capabilities and performance.

Speaker #2: Securing that solution which is based on a significant debt component remains our number one priority.

Speaker #2: On operations, T1 is a hypergrowth company with big ambitions. We are on a path to building a much larger business. We are committed to continuously improving our operational capabilities and performance.

Speaker #2: After a solid first half of 2026 at G1 Dallas, we anticipate higher production, sales, and profitability in the second half of the year. As the Section 232 proclamation is implemented, we will operate within its framework, which we believe is intended to support advanced American manufacturers committed to building America, like T1 is.

Dan Barcelo: After a solid H1 2026 at G1 Dallas, we anticipate higher production, sales, and profitability in the H2 of the year. As the Section 232 proclamation is implemented, we will operate within its framework, which we believe is intended to support advanced American manufacturers committed to building America like T1 is. With the NRI acquisition and our G2 US solar cell fab, our operating footprint is expanding across a growing commercial opportunity set. We intend to capture these opportunities to create value for shareholders by identifying and executing cross-selling opportunities with T1 NRI and by continuing to hire world-class technical and operational talent. On engagement, we continue to position T1 as the US silicon-based solar leader. We have built T1 to win in this environment, and we intend to do exactly that.

Speaker #2: On engagement, we continue to position T1 as the U.S. silicon-based solar leader. We have built T1 to win in this environment, and we intend to do exactly that.

Speaker #2: Our focus is executing at a high level with our existing assets and pursuing new opportunities that fit our mission, while we communicate clearly and consistently with our capital providers.

Dan Barcelo: Our focus is executing at a high level with our existing assets and pursuing new opportunities that fit our mission while we communicate clearly and consistently with our capital providers. We are proud of the progress we have made in Q2 and excited for what lies ahead in H2 2026 and into 2027. The foundation is in place. We are advancing G2 construction while we expect to ramp production and sales at G1. Our commercial momentum is building, and we have the team, the technology, and the capital plan to execute. Thank you all for your continued support and interest in T1 Energy. With that, I will turn it back to Jeff to coordinate our Q&A session.

Speaker #2: We are proud of the progress we have made in the second quarter and excited for what lies ahead in the second half of '26 and into 2027.

Speaker #2: Thank you all for your continued support, interest, and T1 energy. With that, I'll turn it back to Jeff to coordinate our Q&A session.

Evan Calio: Carmen, we can open up. Thank you, Dan. Carmen, we can open up the line for questions now.

Jeff Spittel: Carmen, we can open up. Thank you, Dan. Carmen, we can open up the line for questions now.

Speaker #1: Evan, we can help out. Thank you, Dan. Carmen, we can open up the line for questions now.

Speaker #3: Thank you so much. And as a reminder, to ask a question, simply press star 11 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced.

Speaker #4: Hey guys, thanks for taking my questions. I'm on the road. Can you guys hear me okay?

Philip Shen: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. I am on the road. Can you guys hear me okay?

Speaker #5: Yes, it's fine.

Dan Barcelo: Yes, it's fine.

Speaker #4: Great, okay, thanks. So, with the polysilicon 232 out now, I wanted to check in with you guys to see if you're already seeing a change in pricing dynamics with your customers.

Philip Shen: Great. Okay, thanks. With the polysilicon 232 out now, wanted to check in with you guys to see if you're already seeing a change in pricing dynamics with your customers. I know it's only been a couple of days, but can you share any color on how those conversations are going? I think the MIP is $0.38 a watt plus this 15% ad valorem tariff. Do you think you can price north of $0.42, $0.43? Just provide a little bit of color. Thanks.

Speaker #4: I know it's only been a couple of days, but can you share any color on how those conversations are going? You know, I think the, you know, MIP is $38 a watt plus this 15% ad valorem tariff.

Speaker #4: Are you pricing, do you think you can price north of 42 cents, 43, just provide a little bit of color? Thanks.

Speaker #5: Sure. Thanks, Phil. Look, since 232 dropped, there's been a flurry of calls from both customers, developers, potential developers, and we are aware that there's a lot of scrambling going on in the industry.

Dan Barcelo: Sure. Thanks, Phil. Look, since 232 dropped, there's been a flurry of calls from both customers, developers, potential developers, and we are aware that there's a lot of scrambling going on in the industry to try to source within this 120-day window. There's also a lot of scrambling for people to see how they can comply with the onshoring plans. We feel really, really comfortable as T1 because it's very simple for us. We buy all of our polysilicon, and we buy all of our wafers from Corning or Hemlock Semiconductor. From our standpoint, those are bases by which we feel that this 232 action really, really, really plays to what we've designed. Secondly, we're actually building, and we're building a plant right now.

Speaker #5: To try to source within this 120-day window, and then also, there's a lot of scrambling for people to see how they can comply with the onshoring plans.

Speaker #5: We feel really, really comfortable as T1 because it's very simple for us. We buy all of our Polysilicon and we buy all of our wafers from Corning or Hemlock Semiconductor.

Speaker #5: So from our standpoint, those are basis seas by which we feel that this 232 action really plays to what we've designed. Secondly, we're actually building, and we're building a plant right now.

Speaker #5: So if you look at what's happening there, we feel that we do fit a lot of the definitions that commerce has here on those parts.

Dan Barcelo: If you look at what's happening there, we feel that we do fit a lot of the definitions that Commerce has here on those parts. For now, we don't really have or want to provide real guidance on pricing, but I'd say in a broad way, there is a lot more confidence now in terms of the types of domestic products we're selling rather than dependency on things that would be imported that may or may not be, we'll say, accepted by Commerce, both during the 120-day window or accepted as part of an onshoring plan. I think overall, I see much more confidence in our cost structure, which is again set upon a Hemlock Poly or Corning Wafer. Andy, do you want to touch a little bit more on the mechanics of those two pieces?

Speaker #5: For now, we don't really have, or want to provide, real guidance on pricing. But I'd say, in a broad way, there is a lot more confidence now in terms of the types of domestic products we're selling, rather than dependency on things that would be imported—that may or may not be, we'll say, accepted by commerce, both during the 120-day window or accepted as part of an onshoring plan.

Speaker #5: So I think overall, I see much more confidence in our cost structure, which is again set upon a Hemlock poly or Corning wafer. Andy, do you want to touch a little bit more on the mechanics of those two pieces?

Speaker #1: Well, yeah, really, I think you put it perfectly, Dan. You know, I think we're basically the poster child for this 232, right? We've got a fully domestic supply chain in the polysilicon.

Andy Munro: Well, yeah. I think you put it perfectly, Dan. I think we're basically the poster child for this 232, right? We've got a fully domestic supply chain in the polysilicon area with the modules, G2, the crucial cell component. We're anchor customers for Hemlock Polysilicon and Corning Wafer. This 232, we were doing what this 232 incentivizes before it even came into play. We feel really confident in our position to take advantage of it, and also to benefit from the onshoring program, and get tariff offsets. We've been engaged with Commerce in very productive discussions before the 232 dropped, and we plan to be doing that, in order to maximize the benefits for T1 Energy.

Speaker #1: Area with the modules P2, the crucial cell component, and we're anchored customers for Hemlock Poly and Corning wafers. So this 232, we were doing what this 232 incentivizes before.

Speaker #1: It even came into play. So we feel really confident in our position to take advantage of it, and also to benefit from the onshoring program and get tariff offsets.

Speaker #1: And we've been engaged with commerce in very productive discussions before the 232 dropped, and we plan to be doing that in order to maximize the benefits for T1.

Speaker #4: Okay, great. Dan and Andy, thank you for that. Continuing on, as it relates to the tariff offset program based on U.S. capex, I was wondering if you could share a little bit about how you guys expect to take advantage of that and, you know, for example, if you use Corning wafer, then you don't need to take advantage of the tariff offset program.

Philip Shen: Okay, great. Dan and Andy, thank you for that. Continuing on, as it relates to the tariff offset program based on US CapEx, I was wondering if you could share a little about how you guys expect to take advantage of that. For example, if you use Corning Wafer, then you don't need to take advantage of the tariff offset program. If you import a wafer, I'm guessing you do. How much of that tariff offset program would you expect to tap into in 2027? Mechanically, how would it work? Would you actually have to pay the difference between the MIP and the import wafer cost that you pay, and then the 15% ad valorem tariff, or would there be no change of cash, if that makes sense, so that you can actually-

Speaker #4: But if you import a wafer, I'm guessing you do. And so how much of that tariff offset program would you expect to tap into in 2027?

Speaker #4: And then mechanically, how would it work? Would you actually have to pay the difference between the MIP and the import wafer cost that you pay?

Speaker #4: And then the 15% ad valorem tariff? Or would there be kind of a non like no change of cash, if that makes sense, so that you can actually not tap into it at all?

Dan Barcelo: Sure

Philip Shen: not tap into it at all? You don't have to actually deploy any money at all.

Speaker #4: I mean, you don't have to actually deploy any money at all. So thank you for the long question and I'll pass it on.

Dan Barcelo: Yeah

Philip Shen: Thank you for the long question.

Dan Barcelo: Yeah

Philip Shen: I'll bounce it on you. Please.

Speaker #5: Yeah. Well, Andy, I want to do the mechanics, but first let me do it at a higher level. We have 5 gigawatts of modules. We're building about 2 gigawatts of solar cells.

Dan Barcelo: Well, Andy, why don't you do the mechanics, but first let me do it at a higher level. We have 5 gigawatts of modules. We're building about 2 gigawatts of solar cell. Those solar cells that we build at G2 Austin, we use Corning Wafer, and then we have a delta of 3 gigawatts. We expect that a portion of that will be when we're already covered with Hemlock Polysilicon, and we're interested in either expanding our Hemlock Polysilicon relationship or US Poly, or, as you said, fall under the guise of the system where we're importing to cover that coverage. We feel very, very comfortable that we'll be able to take maximum benefit of the onshoring program, again, because we're planning to build. Andy, do you want to touch on some of the mechanics there?

Speaker #5: Those solar cells that we build at G2 Austin, we use Corning wafers. And then we have a delta of 3 gigawatts. We expect that a portion of that will be and we already covered with Hemlock Poly and we're interested in either expanding our Hemlock Poly relationship or U.S.

Speaker #5: Poly. Or, as you said, fall under the guise of the system where we're importing to cover that coverage. So we feel very, very comfortable that we'll be able to look at, to take maximum benefit of the onshoring program.

Speaker #5: Again, because we're planning to build. Andy, do you want to touch on some of the mechanics there?

Speaker #1: Yeah, sure. So, you know, first you think about the necessary imports of cells until we have G2 up and running. So that is one area where you could have the offset.

Andy Munro: Yeah, sure. First you think about the necessary imports of cells until we have G2 up and running. That is one area where you could have the offset and, as you've indicated, we have different potential strategies for acquiring the additional wafers that we would need. Also, you have the potential for phase II. We're certainly discussing with domestic producers, and if we're not able to obtain, we have flexibility to import. I think we would be well-positioned because of all of our extensive investments in the US supply chain to benefit from the onshoring program and the offset. Your specific question, I'm not sure I'm following exactly, but an offset could potentially reduce your tariff burden, that delta materially, if not completely, right?

Speaker #1: And as you've indicated, we have different potential strategies for acquiring the additional wafers that we would need. And also, you have the potential for phase two.

Speaker #1: So we have, you know, we're certainly discussing with domestic producers and if we're not able to obtain, we have flexibility to import. And I think we would be well positioned because of all of our extensive investments in the U.S.

Speaker #1: The supply chain could benefit from the onshoring program and the offset. Your specific question—I'm not sure I'm following exactly—but an offset could potentially, you know, it could potentially reduce your tariff burden.

Speaker #1: That delta materially, if not completely, right? I think the proclamation allows for that, but I think it's going to be on a company-by-company basis.

Andy Munro: I think the proclamation allows for that, but I think it's going to be on a company-by-company basis, what you're able to negotiate with Commerce. But we feel that we're in a very good position because, like I said, we've been investing in the US supply chain, and we're going to continue to do that, and we have a strong case to make with Commerce.

Speaker #1: What you're able to negotiate with Commerce. But we feel that we're in a very good position because, you know, like I said, we've been investing in the U.S.

Speaker #1: supply chain. And we're going to continue to do that. And we have a strong case to make with commerce.

Speaker #5: Yeah. And we have, you know, we have our team, which will be working with Commerce to get clarity on some of these mechanics, as will the rest of the industry.

Dan Barcelo: Yeah. We have our team, which will be working with Commerce to get clarity on some of these mechanics, as will the rest of the industry. I think the most important thing post-232 is that the conversation has changed. Before, it was literally, "How do I get domestic content light? How do I get this?" I am talking about competition or others in the industry. "How do we bring in imported modules, imported cells? Where are they from? What is the QA/QC? Where did they come from? Where was the poly? Was it Uyghur?" That was always the conversation, and the pressures were about the lowest cost. In a post-232 world, the conversation is, "Okay, there is a minimum price." It is almost like all of those other conversations are now moot points. It is all about, are you building in America? Are you investing in America? Are you doing jobs in America?

Speaker #5: I think the most important thing post-232 is that the conversation has changed. Before, it was literally, how do I get domestic light? How do I get this?

Speaker #5: How do I, you know, how I'm talking about competition or others in the industry. How do we bring in imported modules, imported cells? Where are they from?

Speaker #5: What's the QA/QC? Where did they come from? Where was the poly? Was it weaker? That was always the conversation. And the pressures were about the lowest cost.

Speaker #5: In a post-232 world, the conversation is, okay, there's a minimum price. And it's almost like all of those other conversations are now moot points.

Speaker #5: It's all about, are you building in America? Are you investing in America? Are you doing jobs in America? If so, here's the onshoring plan for you.

Dan Barcelo: If so, here is the onshoring plan for you. We believe confidently that we fit that model, and we think that that will give us, as we are building and expanding capacity, a lot of room to comply. So we are excited about the conversation moving towards an assumption now that these are the new pricings, rather than trying to figure out every which way from Sunday on how to get things into the country that may not fully comply.

Speaker #5: We believe confidently that we fit that model. And we think that that will give us, as we're building and expanding capacity, a lot of room to comply.

Speaker #5: So we're excited about the conversation moving towards an assumption now that these are the new pricings, rather than trying to figure out every which way from Sunday on how to get things into the country that may not fully comply.

Speaker #4: Okay, great. Thank you. One last one—as it relates to the financing, you guys had talked about end of May, and then it was end of June, and then end of July.

Philip Shen: Okay, great. Thank you. One last one. As it relates to the financing, you guys had talked about end of May, and then it was end of June, and then end of July. So we are sitting here still mid-August. Just curious if you can give us a little more color on timing and when that financing package that you envision

Speaker #4: So, we're sitting here still kind of mid-August. Just curious if you can give us a little more color on the timing and when that financing package that you've envisioned can actually close.

Dan Barcelo: Yep

Philip Shen: can actually close. Thanks.

Speaker #4: Thanks.

Dan Barcelo: Yeah. Look, I tell you first, things take longer than expected. We didn't want that. We didn't expect that. But at this point today, we're extremely confident in this comprehensive financing, which is base significant debt component. That's where we are today. Evan, would you like to give some more color around the financing? I would just add, we have the right advisors, we have the right teams, we're working with the right counterparties to achieve this. It took longer than expected, but right now we're extremely confident. Evan?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Look, I'd say first, things take longer than expected. We didn't want that. We didn't expect that. But at this point today, we're extremely confident in this comprehensive financing, which is, you know, based significant debt component.

Speaker #5: And that's where we are today. Evan, would you like to give some more color around the financing? And I would just add, you know, we're fairly we have the right advisors.

Speaker #5: We have the right teams. We're working with the right counterparties to achieve this. It took longer than expected, but right now we're extremely confident.

Speaker #5: Evan?

Speaker #4: Yeah, no, look, I mean, we're obviously balancing progressing the optimal financing solution with keeping G2 project on pace and on budget. And as Dan mentioned, we've done what we need to do.

Evan Calio: Yeah, no, look, we're obviously balancing progressing the optimal financing solution, with keeping G2 project on pace and on budget. As Dan mentioned, we've done what we need to do. It's taking a little bit longer. We chose to go into the capital markets for a bridge amount of financing on a convert that extends the time period, in which we're expecting to complete our financing.

Speaker #4: It's taking a little bit longer. We chose to go into the capital markets for a bridge amount of financing on a convert, that extends the time period in which we're expecting to complete our financing.

Speaker #4: Okay, great. Thanks, guys.

Philip Shen: Okay, great. Thanks, guys.

Speaker #5: Thank you. Thanks, Phil.

Dan Barcelo: Thank you.

Philip Shen: I'll pass it on.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks, Phil. Operator, next question.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Phil.

Speaker #5: Operator, next question.

Speaker #2: Thank you. It comes from Cherise El Magrabi with BTIG. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. It comes from Sherif Elmaghrabi with BTIG. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. It comes from Sherif Elmaghrabi with BTIG. Please proceed.

Speaker #6: Hey, thanks. And good morning. Sticking with the conversation on 232, you guys talked about your ability to source that incremental 3 gigawatts in sort of the medium-term, call it.

Sherif Elmaghrabi: Hey, thanks, and good morning. Sticking with the conversation on 232, you guys talked about your ability to source that incremental 3 gigawatts in sort of the medium term, call it. At what point does domestic demand pull G2 phase two forward? Thinking about upstream, how do you feel about Corning or any supplier's ability to deliver an incremental 2 to 3 gigawatts of domestic wafers?

Speaker #6: But at what point does domestic demand pull G2 phase two forward? And thinking about upstream, how do you feel about cornering, or any supplier's ability to deliver an incremental 2 to 3 gigawatts of domestic wafers?

Speaker #5: Thanks for the question. I can't speak for cornering or Hemlock, as you're aware, but we've had interest and conversations about what capacity is there and indications that it could be there.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks for the question. I cannot speak for Corning or Hemlock, as you are aware, but we have had interest in conversations about what capacity is there and indications that it could be there. We believe that there will be enough or enough incentives in the right amount of time to get that capacity. That is the first point. The second point, in terms of our sourcing strategies, we have not announced phase 2. Phase 1 is 2 gigs. We have talked about a 5-gigawatt optimum solution. When and if the market is right, the customer is right, the board approves it, and we sanction it, we will announce that to the market. But we have not yet sanctioned that. We also feel a real duty to, as the prior question touched on, we want to complete the comprehensive financing based on a significant debt component, and we want to do that ASAP.

Speaker #5: So we believe that there'll be of time to get that capacity. That's the first point. The second point, in terms of our sourcing strategies, you know, we have not announced phase two, as every phase one is 2 gigs.

Speaker #5: We've talked about a 5-gigawatt optimum solution. When and if the market's right, the customer's right, the board approves it, and we sanction it, you know, we'll announce that to the market.

Dan Barcelo: When and if the market is right, the customer is right, the board approves it, and we sanction it, we will announce that to the market. But we have not yet sanctioned that. We also feel a real duty to, as the prior question touched on, we want to complete the comprehensive financing based on a significant debt component, and we want to do that ASAP. We want to deliver what we said we would deliver, and that remains the core focus, before we look to expansion there.

Speaker #5: But we haven't yet sanctioned that. We also feel a real duty to, you know, as the prior question touched on, we want to complete the comprehensive financing based on a significant debt component.

Speaker #5: And we want to do that as soon as possible. We want to deliver what we said we would deliver, and that remains the core focus before we look to expansion there.

Dan Barcelo: We want to deliver what we said we would deliver, and that remains the core focus, before we look to expansion there.

Speaker #6: Okay, that's very helpful. And on the NRI, how soon do you think we might start seeing an integrated off-take agreement there?

Sherif Elmaghrabi: Okay. That is very helpful.

Dan Barcelo: Yeah.

Sherif Elmaghrabi: On NRI, how soon do you think we might start seeing an integrated off-take agreement there?

Speaker #5: Sure. Well, NRI has its own business offerings, both on controllers, both on customer services, both on their historical O&M and their network operating center type businesses.

Dan Barcelo: Well, NRI has its own business offerings, both on controllers, both on customer services, both on their historical O&M, and their network operating center type businesses. So those ongoing businesses continue to operate as is with NRI. What we have done with NRI is we have integrated that into our sales functions to just offer large utility scale developers and others the opportunity to have a stronger engineering sales force approach to it. So while the products necessarily do not have to be attached to existing solar customers, there is a whole wrap around the customer. We are trying to make things easier for the customer. We are trying to illustrate to the customer that we have a sophisticated long-term partnership with them strategically, and if we can address some of the other issues that they are facing, one topic du jour becomes the inverters. How do people source inverters now with the new rules?

Speaker #5: So those ongoing businesses continue to operate as is with NRI. What we've done with NRI is we've integrated that into our sales functions to just offer large utility-scale developers and others the opportunity to have a stronger engineering sales force approach to it.

Speaker #5: So while the products necessarily don't have to be attached to existing solar customers, there is now a whole there's a whole wrap around the customer.

Speaker #5: We're trying to make things easier for the customer. We're trying to illustrate to the customer that we have a sophisticated long-term partnership with them strategically.

Speaker #5: And if we can address some of the other issues that they're facing, you know, one topic du jour becomes the inverters. How do people source inverters now with the new rules?

Speaker #5: You know, those are things that NRI has literally been dealing with for decades. So we think this is as much about an enhanced sales offering and integrated approach with engineering, rather than new bespoke products offered to the market.

Dan Barcelo: Those are things that NRI has literally been dealing with for decades. So we think this is as much about an enhanced sales offering and integrated approach with engineering, rather than new bespoke products offered to the market. We are not trying to get into the older market that NRI was in with battery cell manufacturing with NRI's old technology there. This is extremely focused around the services, the controllers, and the integration potential for NRI. We like the business. It is capital light. It has a good customer base. That integration is fairly straightforward, and we have added a real breadth of development team, including with some of their leadership.

Speaker #5: We're not trying to get into the older market that NRI was in with battery cell manufacturing with NRI's old technology there. This is extremely focused around the services: the controllers, and the integration potential for NRI.

Speaker #5: We like the business. It's capital-light. It has a good customer base. That integration is fairly straightforward. And we've added a real breadth to the development team, including some of their leadership.

Speaker #6: Great color, Dan. Thanks for taking my questions.

Sherif Elmaghrabi: Great color, Dan. Thanks for taking my questions.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Dan Barcelo: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question comes from Martin Malloy with Johnson Rice. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. Our next question comes from Martin Malloy with Johnson Rice. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from Martin Malloy with Johnson Rice. Please proceed.

Speaker #4: Good morning. With respect to the G2 Austin plant and now getting a second off-take contract, is there kind of a tipping point at some point where the scarcity of the available remaining capacity you think could drive additional off-take agreements being signed relatively quickly?

Martin Malloy: Good morning. With respect to the G2 Austin plant and now getting a second off-take contract, is there a tipping point at some point where the scarcity of the available remaining capacity you think could drive additional off-take agreements being signed relatively quickly?

Speaker #5: Thanks for the question. Look, that's a great problem. When we have it, I think as we get closer to that demand—which we are seeing a lot of—and, you know, discussions around demand are different than us announcing.

Dan Barcelo: Thanks for the question. Look, that's a great problem, when we have it. I think as we get closer to that demand, which we are seeing a lot of, and discussions around demand are different than us announcing. We were very excited to announce the Clearway partnership with that order. As you know, historically, we've also announced the 3DEO contract. We have multiple live active discussions with some of the best Utility scale developers. Those conversations are really, really, really anchored around that domestic cell. As I gave some color on a prior question, I do think post 232 world, it does shift the conversation towards domestic module, domestic cell, drop, stop, finished. It's not about this whole DC light, how do we get around pieces.

Speaker #5: We were very excited to announce the Clearway partnership with that order. As you know, historically, we've also announced the Treaty Oak contract. We have multiple live, active discussions with some of the best utility-scale developers.

Speaker #5: And those conversations are really, really, really anchored around that domestic cell. As I gave some color on a prior question, I do think post-232 world, it does shift the conversation towards domestic module, domestic cell drop, stop, finished.

Speaker #5: It's not about this whole DC light. How do we get around pieces? So, at this point, we do anticipate that we're going to have a lot of demand and a lot of expectations for exactly the question you just posed.

Dan Barcelo: At this point, we do anticipate that we're going to have a lot of demand and a lot of expectations for exactly the question you just posed. When do we expand phase 2? We've been thinking about it from an engineering side. Markets are building everything you can imagine under the sun in Texas. We do have great relationships with our ecosystem of partners and construction and suppliers and vendors and PLE equipment. As I replied previously, we are focused on mission number one, comprehensive financing solution. We know we've said that before. Things take longer than we expected. We're just still confident in that, and we want to clear that, before we start thinking about expansion.

Speaker #5: When do we expand, you know, phase two? You know, we've been thinking about it from an engineering side. You know, markets are building everything and you can imagine under the sun in Texas, but we do have great relationships with our ecosystem of partners, and construction, and suppliers, and vendors, and PLE equipment.

Speaker #5: But as I replied previously, we are focused on mission number one, comprehensive financing solution. We know we've said that before. Things take longer than we expected.

Speaker #5: We're just still confident in that. And we want to clear that before we start thinking about expansion.

Speaker #4: Okay. And then for my follow-up question, I wanted to ask about the ability to license the TOPCon technology now. How do you envision benefiting from that or being able to take advantage of that?

Operator 1: Okay. Then, for my follow-up question, I wanted to ask about the ability to license the TOPCon technology now. How do you envision benefiting from that or being able to take advantage of that?

Martin Malloy: Okay. Then, for my follow-up question, I wanted to ask about the ability to license the TOPCon technology now. How do you envision benefiting from that or being able to take advantage of that?

Dan Barcelo: We now own it. We can license it for US TOPCon technology to whomever we want. We are starting to explore and have conversations with people that would use TOPCon technology in the US, and we are very excited about those conversations. Where they go and what form they may take, it could be from a very simple, straight licensing agreement for X amount of time or Y amount of quantum, to broader things. We would like to think about how we actually develop this technology now that we own it. Can we or will we partner with universities? Can we or will we partner with national labs? Can we or will we partner with other large companies? Those are options now are all on the table now that we are the owner of the IP. I believe that this IP gives us current state, one of the best commercialized silicon-based technologies.

Speaker #5: We now own it. We can license it for U.S. TOPCon technology to whomever we want. We're starting to explore and have conversations with people that would use TOPCon technology in the U.S.

Speaker #5: And we're very excited about those conversations—where they go and what form that may take. It could be from a very simple, straightforward licensing agreement for X amount of time or Y amount of quantum, to broader things.

Speaker #5: We would like to think about how we actually develop this technology now that we own it. Can we or will we partner with universities?

Speaker #5: Can we or will we partner with national labs? Can we or will we partner with other large companies? Those are options now are all on the table now that we're the owner of the IP.

Speaker #5: I believe that this IP gives us current state one of the best commercialized silicon-based technologies that's what the customers want. They want the higher efficiencies of silicon.

Dan Barcelo: That is what the customers want. They want the higher efficiencies of silicon, and they want the commercialized benefits of TOPCon. That is what we get. When we start thinking of very, very medium term or longer term, we now have a great problem of how do we enhance and build that. From that perspective, we would really look at partnering with people a lot smarter than us in terms of national labs or universities or other companies to really think about developing that IP longer term, because we are not naive. This technology is great as of today. It is great for this year and for next year, but this industry has been moving ahead, grinding out percentages of efficiencies for a very long time. So we would also look to protect that IP and enhance it longer term. But we are open to models. We are open to different formats.

Speaker #5: And they want the commercialized benefits of TOPCon. That's what we get. When we start thinking of very, very medium-term or longer-term, we now have a great problem of how do we enhance and build that.

Speaker #5: And from that perspective, we'd really look at partnering with people a lot smarter than us, in terms of national labs or universities or other companies, to really think about developing that IP longer-term.

Speaker #5: Because we're not naive. This technology is great as of today. It's great for this year and for next year. But this industry has been moving ahead, grinding out percentages of efficiencies for a very long time.

Speaker #5: So, we would also look to protect that IP and enhance it longer-term. But we're open to models, we're open to different formats. For us, this was a very good transaction, just from removing the licensing fees that we would have paid.

Dan Barcelo: For us, this was a very good transaction just from removing the licensing fees that we would have paid. We view this as NPV positive. We see this as accretive in terms of a cash flow impact, from a go-forward basis. So on its own merits, just from a financial standpoint, it was great. But I do think it is really different now to have an American-owned foundational IP, that we are very excited to partner and work or license with other people with.

Speaker #5: We view this as NPV positive. We see this as a creative in terms of a cash flow impact, from a go-forward basis. So on its own merits, just from a financial standpoint, was great.

Speaker #5: But I do think it's really different now to have an American-owned foundational IP that we are very excited to partner and work or license with other people with.

Speaker #4: Yeah. When Dan mentioned that it was NPV positive, that's on our existing plan. So to your first question, any ultimate expansion of G2 would drive additional upside royalties covered upside as well as any duration of the value of the license post its initial end, which was the end of 2029, is all upside.

Evan Calio: Yeah, when Dan mentioned that it was NPV positive, that's on our existing plan. To your first question, any ultimate expansion of G2 would drive additional upside, royalties covered upside, as well as any duration of the value of the license post its initial end, which was the end of 2029, is all upside. It was a strong economic transaction for T1 Energy.

Speaker #4: So it was a strong economic transaction for T1. Great. Thank you. I'll turn it back.

Martin Malloy: Great. Thank you. I'll turn it back.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Dan Barcelo: Thank you.

Speaker #4: Thanks, Martin.

Evan Calio: Thanks, Marty.

Evan Calio: Thanks, Martin.

Operator 2: Thank you. Our next question comes from Sunaina Ocalan with Bernstein. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from Sunaina Ocalan with Bernstein SG. Please proceed.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question comes from Sunaina Ocalan with Bernstein SG. Please proceed.

Speaker #7: Hi. Good morning, team. Thank you for taking my question. I just had a quick question on the Clearway agreement and the deal on the 641 megawatts.

Sunaina Pai Ocalan: Hi, good morning, team. Thank you for taking my question. I just had a quick question on the Clearway agreement, and the deal on the 641 megawatts. Can you guys provide any terms of any color on sort of the timing or the structure? Is it a cost plus? Any color on that would be great.

Sunaina Ocalan: Hi, good morning, team. Thank you for taking my question. I just had a quick question on the Clearway agreement, and the deal on the 641 megawatts. Can you guys provide any terms of any color on sort of the timing or the structure? Is it a cost plus? Any color on that would be great.

Speaker #7: Can you guys provide any terms, or any color on the timing or the structure? Is it a cost-plus? Any color on that would be great.

Speaker #5: Yes. Apologies, though. We respect their customers' privacy, so I would defer that to when Clearway would like to disclose some of those aspects. We're very excited to have Clearway.

Dan Barcelo: Yes. Apologies. We respect our customer's privacy, so I would defer that to when Clearway would like to disclose some of those aspects. We are very excited to have Clearway. They are a tier 1 developer. They have been in this industry for a very long time. We have worked with them for a long time to get to this point, where they are comfortable with our products and comfortable with operations. We are really excited about that. At this point, we have only disclosed the quantum, and we have disclosed Clearway. As I am sure you can appreciate, there is some sensitivity there on commercial terms, both from our standpoint for new customers or for Clearway.

Speaker #5: They're a Tier 1 developer. They've been in this industry for a very long time. We've worked with them for a long time to get to this point, where they're comfortable with our products and comfortable with our operations.

Speaker #5: And we're really excited about that. So, at this point, we've only disclosed the Quantum, and we've disclosed Clearway. And as I'm sure you can appreciate, there's some sensitivity there on commercial terms, both from our standpoint for new customers or for Clearway.

Speaker #7: Okay. No worries. Thank you. Thanks. Yep.

Sunaina Pai Ocalan: Okay, no worries. Thank you.

Sunaina Ocalan: Okay, no worries. Thank you.

Dan Barcelo: Thank you.

Sunaina Pai Ocalan: Thanks. Yep.

Sunaina Ocalan: Thanks. Yep.

Speaker #4: Thanks, Sunaina.

Evan Calio: Thanks, Sunaina.

Speaker #2: Thank you. One moment for our next question. It comes from Sean Milligan with NEDAM. Please proceed.

Operator 2: Thank you. One moment for our next question. It comes from Sean Milligan with Needham. Please proceed.

Operator: Thank you. One moment for our next question. It comes from Sean Milligan with Needham. Please proceed.

Speaker #6: Hey, good morning. Thank you for taking the questions. Dan, you kind of talked about the comprehensive financing of G2. I'm just curious, how much remaining capex is there with G2?

Sean Milligan: Hey, good morning. Thank you for taking the questions. Dan, you kind of talk about the comprehensive financing of G2. Just curious, how much remaining CapEx is there with G2? When we think about the comprehensive financing, should we think about it only covering remaining CapEx or other components, maybe like the IP costs to bring that in, costs that have already been spent? Anything around context there would be helpful.

Speaker #6: And when we think about the comprehensive financing, should we think about it only covering remaining capex, or other components—maybe like the IP costs to bring that in, or costs that have already been spent?

Speaker #6: Anything around context there would be helpful.

Speaker #5: Great. Thanks, Sean. Evan, do you want to take it?

Dan Barcelo: Great. Thanks, Sean. Evan, do you want to take it?

Speaker #4: Yeah, sure. I mean, it remains a private conversation, but our comprehensive financing solution—it would be reasonable to expect—can cover more than just the remaining capex of G2, which could include other elements that you referenced, right?

Evan Calio: Yeah, sure. It remains a private conversation, but our comprehensive financing solution, it would be reasonable to expect, can cover more than just the remaining CapEx of G2, which could include other elements that you referenced. It may also seek to, as others have, as we have mentioned, prime existing debt structures. I think that would be a reasonable assumption without putting a number on it. In terms of the remaining capital spend, which is kind of projected based upon allocation of the proceeds that we just raised, is up to $250 million. There is a range also based upon a contingency, but that would be 2 to 250 would be remaining for just the phase 1 project.

Speaker #4: And it may also seek to, as others have, as we have mentioned, prime existing debt structures. So I think that would be a reasonable assumption without putting a number on it.

Speaker #4: In terms of the remaining capital spend, which is kind of projected based upon allocation of the proceeds, that we just raised, it's up to $250 million.

Speaker #4: So there's a range also based upon the contingency, but that would be $2 million to $250 million remaining for just the Phase One project.

Speaker #6: Okay, great. And then a couple more on the COGS side. It looks like you've done a really good job on going back to early last year.

Sean Milligan: Okay, great. A couple more on the COGS side. Looks like you have done a really good job on, going back to early last year, there was some inflation on your COGS line on a per watt basis, and then you have kind of been able to maintain that pretty stable here. As we look forward to Section 232, just trying to understand what type of agreements you have on the poly, like how much is covered maybe by fixed price to protect yourself from inflation there. Also on the offtake agreements, I know you have the Trina agreement was cost plus, but are there any offsets on the offtake to protect from cost increases?

Speaker #6: There was some inflation on your COGS line on a per-watt basis, and then you've kind of been able to maintain that pretty stable here.

Speaker #6: As we look forward to section 232, just trying to understand what type of agreements you have on the poly, like how much is covered maybe by fixed price to protect yourself from inflation there?

Speaker #6: And also, on the off-take agreements, I know you have the TRIN agreement, which was cost-plus, but are there any offsets on the off-take to protect from cost increases?

Speaker #5: Evan, you want to cover that?

Dan Barcelo: Evan, you want to cover that?

Speaker #4: Sure. I mean, for 2026, our 3 gigawatts is under a cost, either plus a fixed margin or kind of a cost-plus basis. And so your cost is protected. Our five-year contract that underpins the financing of G1 is also a cost-plus contract.

Evan Calio: Sure. For 2026, our 3 gigawatts is under a cost, either plus a fixed margin or a cost-plus basis. Your cost is protected. Our five-year contract that underpins the financing of G1 is also a cost-plus contract. As far as the balance, we will be importing cells until we replace them with domestic production. That is part of the offset plan that Andy and Dan mentioned, of which we believe we are well-positioned, but we have not gone in and offered our onshoring plan. Given that we are constructing 2.1 and at least a stated ambition up to 5, that would provide us coverage for those cell purchases, depending upon the conversations with commerce. In terms of wafer, that is the only two things you would be importing, right? Wafer and cell. As Dan mentioned, we are covered on the Corning contract for wafer that relates to phase one.

Speaker #4: As far as the balance, we'll be importing cells until we replace them with domestic production. And that's part of the offset plan that Andy and Dan mentioned, for which we believe we're well positioned. But we haven't gone in and offered our onshoring plan.

Speaker #4: But given that we're constructing 2.1 and at least a stated ambition up to 5, that would provide us coverage for the self-purchases depending upon the conversations with commerce.

Speaker #4: In terms of wafer, which is the other that's the only two things you'd be importing, right? Wafer and cell. As Dan mentioned, we're covered on the corning contract for wafer that relates to phase one.

Sean Milligan: Okay, great.

Speaker #4: I use a domestic source contract at a price.

Evan Calio: That is a domestic sourced contract at a price.

Speaker #6: Awesome. On the G&A side, kind of up 20 million quarter over quarter. I'm just curious how much embedded with G&A is maybe still higher legal cost, some costs related to the financing underwriting cost.

Sean Milligan: Awesome. On the G&A side, up $20 million quarter-over-quarter, I am just curious how much embedded with G&A is maybe still higher legal costs, some costs related to the financing, underwriting costs, and then maybe any Nordic carryover. Are there any costs there that we could think about unwinding as some of these issues resolve themselves?

Speaker #6: And then maybe any Nordic carrier, are there any costs there that we could think about unwinding as some of these issues resolve themselves?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Look, on the taking your questions backward on the Nordic side, we are in multiple discussions and multiple parties. For either divestment or partnership or sell-down of those Nordic assets, there's obviously some costs around that.

Dan Barcelo: Well, taking your questions backward on the Nordic side, we are in multiple discussions with multiple parties for either divestment or partnership or sell down of those Nordic assets. There are obviously some costs around that. Those are on the smaller side. I would say the key part is, we are building an SG&A for a multiple asset company, including G2, including G1. With that includes a heavy amount of both legal lobbying work around, as you have seen and heard from Andy, extensive work around commerce. On the legal side, as you touched on, a lot of capital markets and fundraising activities. When we get to a steady state, we would expect those run rates to be lower. Also part of the SG&A has been building out the broader team.

Speaker #5: Those are on the smaller side. I'd say the key part is we're building an SG&A for a multiple-asset company, including G2 and including G1. With that comes a heavy amount of both legal and lobbying work, as you've seen and heard from Andy—extensive work around commerce on the legal side, as you touched on—a lot of capital markets and fundraising activities.

Speaker #5: When we get to a steady state, we'd expect those run rates to be lower. And then also part of the SG&A has been building out the broader team.

Speaker #5: As we get ready for G2 Austin, that's a significant build-up now, which did require a lot of people to start phasing in at the corporate level rather than the asset level.

Dan Barcelo: As we get ready for G2 Austin, that is a significant buildup now, which did require a lot of people to start phasing in at the corporate level rather than the asset level. So there is quite a bit of work there, which then those costs will be carried more fully with the operations of G2 Austin. So recognize your question in terms of quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year, primarily legal. It is not necessarily lobbying per se, but it is work around government, work around policy, a lot of that work, and then also for financing.

Speaker #5: So there's quite a bit of work there, which then those costs will be carried more fully with the operations of G2 Austin. So recognize your question.

Speaker #5: In terms of quarter over quarter or year over year, primarily legal it's not necessarily lobbying per se, but it's work around government, work around policy, a lot of that work.

Speaker #5: And then also for financing.

Speaker #6: That's awesome. Thank you.

Sean Milligan: That is awesome. Thank you.

Speaker #5: All right. Thank you very much.

Dan Barcelo: All right. Thank you very much.
