Anticipated sales in range of $4.5-$5.0 million, backlog of approximately $5.5 million as of June 30, 2024
Balance Sheet will reflect approximately $3 million received in tax refunds and ERC funding
GARDENA, CA, July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polar Power, Inc. (“Polar Power” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POLA), a global provider of prime, backup, and solar hybrid power solutions, today announces that it expects to report revenues between $4.5 million and $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, and a backlog of approximately $5.5 million for the quarter end. Additionally, the Company has received approximately $2.9 million in Tax refunds and Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”) payments applied for in prior years.
Arthur Sams, CEO of Polar Power, commented, “We are encouraged by the sequential improvements in our business, as evidenced both in the growth in our Q2 revenues and backlog. Of the backlog, approximately 62% is attributable to telecom customers and partners around the globe. We continue to actively pursue opportunities to diversify our revenue mix through new channels and to new markets, such as homes and apartment buildings, electric vehicles and drones, greenhouses, pools, and more, for clean fuel and solar hybrid DC power generation.
“The nearly $3 million in ERC funding and tax refund payments that we’ve received strengthens our balance sheet and enables us to fund our growth plans and implement efficiencies on the shop floor. We are certainly grateful to Congresswoman Nanette Diaz Barragan, who visited our facility in June, has been a tremendous supporter for us within the community, and played a significant role with expediting the long overdue funds. We are proud to be a California-based business, working on technology that is good for California, the rest of the country, and the planet, as we develop technologies that deliver high-efficiency and cost-effective DC power-generation products to alleviate the strain on the utility grid, and provide secure, safe, and reliable electricity.”
Polar Power expects to file its quarterly report on form 10-Q and announce its full second quarter of 2024 results before August 15, 2024.
