Management highlights
- Overall Financial Performance * Q1 2026 revenue was roughly flat year-over-year, impacted by weather-related disruptions in the Northeast region * Operating EBITDA increased 49% year-over-year to $18.4 million, driven by cost optimization and operational streamlining completed in 2025 * Operating income improved over $5.5 million year-over-year, reflecting sustained cost discipline and structural operational efficiencies - Cost Optimization Progress * Operations and Maintenance (O&M) expenses declined 70% year-over-year to $1.2 million, and SG&A expenses declined 21% year-over-year to $11.6 million; combined core operating expenses fell to $12.7 million from $18.6 million in Q1 2025 * Cost reductions came from lower labor costs, reduced third-party professional services spend, improved vendor management, and more efficient servicing operations * Most cost improvements are structural, though some O&M activity was shifted to later quarters of 2026 to align with the full-year operating plan - Operational and Portfolio Status * The business maintains a stable portfolio of approximately 84,000 long-term customer contracts, generating predictable recurring cash flow with diversified geographic exposure * The company continues to follow a long-term deleveraging strategy, repaying $8.2 million of debt principal during Q1 2026 - Liquidity and Financing Updates * A going concern disclosure was included in Q1 financials due to the original current maturity classification of the SP1 facility * The company successfully extended the SP1 facility maturity to October 2026 during the quarter, with an option to extend further to January 2027 conditional on securing a signed refinancing term sheet * Management is advancing ongoing constructive refinancing discussions to optimize the company's long-term capital structure, and the extension provides additional flexibility to evaluate broader refinancing opportunities - Strategic Priorities 1. Continue improving operating platform efficiency and overall profitability 2. Advance refinancing initiatives and maintain disciplined liquidity management 3. Selectively pursue attractive growth opportunities including portfolio acquisitions, programmatic partnerships, and Spruce Pro servicing relationships without adding significant incremental overhead 4. Explore new long-term business initiatives as 2026 progresses
Guidance
- Full-year 2026 guidance remains broadly consistent with prior management expectations - Full-year 2026 operating EBITDA is expected to remain in line with budget, as lower Q1 O&M spend and collections will be offset by higher servicing activity and collections in the second half of 2026 - O&M expenses are expected to increase sequentially through 2026, but will stay aligned with full-year budget expectations - Continued improvements in the SG&A run rate are expected as additional Project Streamline cost optimization initiatives are implemented

Risks & headwinds
- Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from management expectations, as detailed in the company's earnings release and SEC filings - The original current maturity classification of the SP1 facility required a going concern disclosure in the Q1 2026 financial statements - Refinancing efforts carry uncertainty; the potential extension of the SP1 facility to January 2027 is conditional on achieving a signed refinancing term sheet, and successful completion of a broader refinancing transaction is not guaranteed - Weather-related disruptions (such as the impacts seen in the Northeast during Q1 2026) can negatively impact near-term revenue and operating performance
