Acquisition of STI Norland
On January 11, 2022, (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L.U., a Spanish private limited liability Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”) with cash and common stock of the Company (the “STI Acquisition”). The STI Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. See Note 3 – Acquisition of STI.
AfterUpon completion of the acquisition of STI Acquisition, the Company began operating as two reportable operating segments: the Array legacy operating segment (the “Array Legacy Operations”) and the newly acquired operations (the “STI Operations”) pertaining to STI.
Out-of-Period Adjustment for the Correction of Errors
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company identified certain errors in its previously issued financial statements that have been corrected through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has concluded that the errors are not material to the previously issued financial statements and the cumulative out-of-period adjustment for the correction of these errors is not material to the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Below is a summary of each of the errors corrected and a summary of the cumulative impact.
Capped Calls
As discussed in Note 10 – Debt of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2023, in November 2021 the Company paid $52.9 million to enter into capped call option agreements (the “Capped Calls”) to reduce the potential dilution to holders of the Company’s common stock after a conversion of the Company’s Convertible Notes (as defined below). The Company originally concluded that the Capped Calls met the criteria for equity classification because the Capped Calls are indexed to the Company’s common stock, and the Company has discretion to settle the Capped Calls in shares or cash. As a result, the Company originally recorded the amount paid for the Capped Calls as a reduction to additional paid-in capital of $52.9 million, offset by $12.4 million of income taxes.
When the Company entered into the Capped Calls, the Company executed certain side letters (the “Side Letters”) with the counterparties that replaced some of the terms described in the primary contract including the volatility inputs used to value the Capped Calls under certain circumstances. Upon further evaluation, the Company has concluded that the modification to the volatility inputs precludes the Capped Calls from being

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
indexed to its own stock because there is the possibility that the Capped Calls will settle at an amount that exceeds fair value and, therefore, prevents the Capped Calls from being classified as equity.
In addition, the Side Letters also provide for certain adjustments to settlement amounts on the basis of holder-specific taxes which are impermissible inputs to the valuation that also prevents the Capped Calls from being indexed to the Company’s own stock, and therefore, prevents the Capped Calls from being classified as equity. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has concluded that the cash paid for the Capped Calls should have been recorded as an asset of $52.9 million with the asset being subsequently marked to market at the end of each accounting period.
Additional Closing Purchased Put Option
As discussed in Note 11 – Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023, in August 2021 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain Purchasers (as defined below), which gives the Company the option to require the Purchasers to purchase up to an additional 150,000 shares of Series A Shares (as defined below) and up to 3,375,000 shares of common stock for $148.0 million until June 30, 2023 (the “Put Option”), which has expired. Upon issuance of the Put Option, the Company recorded a reduction to additional paid-in-capital of approximately $12.4 million because the Company originally concluded that the Put Option should be classified as equity.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reconsidered the provisions of this option. Because the Series A Shares underlying the Put Option could potentially require redemption under the Certificate of Designations governing the Series A Shares, the Put Option should not have been equity classified. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has concluded that the value of the Put Option at inception should have been recorded as an asset of $12.4 million, with the asset being subsequently marked to market at the end of each accounting period.
Correction of the Capped Calls and Put Option
The adjustments to correct the Capped Calls and the Put Option at January 1, 2023 resulted in an increase in Derivative assets of $55.7 million, a decrease in Deferred income tax assets of $11.0 million, an increase in additional paid-in-capital of $52.9 million, and a decrease in net income of $8.1 million.
Goodwill
In connection with the acquisition of STI, the Company had understated goodwill by $2.0 million and overstated inventory by the same amount that was sold during fiscal 2022. The Company corrected the goodwill balance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, resulting in an increase in goodwill and a decrease in cost of goods sold.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).SEC. The unaudited interim financial
statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods reported. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20222023, or any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report.
Unless expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Array”, and “Array Technologies” refer to Array Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the term “condensed consolidated financial statements” refers to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.
Reclassifications
Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company reclassified amounts recorded for amortization of certain acquired intangible assets in prior presentations from Total operating expenses under the caption "Depreciation and amortization" to Total cost of revenue under the caption "Amortization of developed technology" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company believes this presentation enhances the comparability of the Company’s Annual Reportfinancial statements to industry peers.
These reclassifications resulted in $3.6 million and $10.9 million recorded to Amortization of developed technology within Total cost of revenue and a $3.6 million and $10.9 million decrease to Depreciation and amortization within Total operating expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
These reclassifications did not impact the Company’s operating income (loss), net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share for any current or historical periods. These reclassifications also did not impact the condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, revenue excludes a $20.1 million Brazil value-added tax benefit, Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Servicos (“ICMS”), that has been reclassified and included in cost of revenues in the current year. This reclassification was determined to be appropriate after we evaluated the expected accounting treatment related to future governmental incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an ICMS benefit of $8.2 million was included in revenues.
This reclassification had no impact on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 6, 2022, as amended byCompany’s gross profit, income (loss) from operations, net income or income (loss) per common share in the Form 10-K/A filed withcurrent period. These reclassifications also did not impact the SEC on April 6, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”).condensed consolidated balance sheets or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, andthe disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuerevenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include evaluation for any impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of contingent consideration, Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock and the related future tranche, allowance for credit losses, reserve for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets and warranty reserve.
Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements; however, management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company continues to closely monitor the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in all the locations where it operates. The Company’s priority remains the welfare of its employees. The Company expects persistent waves of COVID-19, including variants of the virus, to remain a headwind into the near future. The duration and extent to which it will continue to adversely impact the Company’s business and results of operations remain uncertain and could be material.
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and financing options available and expects to have sufficient liquidity to operate for the next 12 months. The Company expects to use cash generated from operations and if needed, can access funds from the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). The Company also has $100 million in delayed draw ability under the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (as defined below) future draw commitment; however, such a draw would increase the Company’s dividend obligations and outstanding common stock and failure to draw the delayed commitments will result in interest expense payable by the Company. See Note 13 – Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Revolving Credit Facility has $166.6 million of availability.
Impact of the Ongoing Russian-Ukraine Conflict in Ukraine
The ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict in Ukraine has reduced the availability of material that can be sourced in Europe and, as a result, increased logistics costs for the procurement of certain inputs and materials used in our products. We do not know the ultimate severity or duration of the conflict, in Ukraine, but we continue to monitor the situation and evaluate our procurement strategy and supply chain as to reduce any negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inflation
The Company could see anInflationary pressures are expected to persist, at least in the near-term, and may negatively impact from elevated inflationour results of operations. To mitigate the inflationary pressures on our business, we have implemented selective price increases in certain markets, accelerated productivity initiatives and other operating costs. Interest rates have increased quickly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raise interest rates in an effortexpanded our supplier base, while continuing to subdue inflation, while government deficits and debt remain at high levels in many global markets. The eventual implications of higher government deficits and debt, tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higherexecute on overhead cost of capital during our forecast period.containment practices.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, amongst other items.

3. Acquisition of STIInventories
On the Acquisition Date, the Company completed the STI Acquisition pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated November 10, 2021, by and among Amixa Capital, S.L. and Aurica Trackers, S.L., each a company duly organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (together, the “Sellers”) and Mr. Javier Reclusa Etayo (the “STI Purchase Agreement”). The STI Acquisition was funded primarily with borrowings from the Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the issuance of Series A redeemable perpetual preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock”). The STI Acquisition provided the Company with an immediate presence in Brazil, Western Europe and South Africa. Transaction
expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition are $5.6 million recorded in the general and administrative line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In accordance with the STI Purchase Agreement, the Company paid closing consideration to the Sellers consisting of $410.5 million in cash and 13,894,800 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the purchase consideration was $610.8 million and resulted in the Company owning 100% of the interests in STI. The Company has performed a valuation of the acquisition assets and liabilities and determined the related accounting impact.
The purchase price consideration to acquire STIInventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
Cash consideration for STI | | $ | 409,647 | |
Cash consideration for transaction expenses of STI | | 896 | |
Total cash consideration | | 410,543 | |
Non-cash equity consideration | | 200,224 | |
Total consideration transferred | | 610,767 | |
Total purchase price consideration | | $ | 610,767 | |
The STI Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination applying ASC 805. The equity consideration transferred consisted of the Company’s common stock and was measured at fair value based on the closing stock price on the Acquisition Date. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimate of the respective fair values at the Acquisition Date. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the expected synergies of the combined entities that are expected to be realized from the STI Acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date (in thousands):

Preliminary allocation to goodwill | | $ | 327,748 | | | | | $ | 335,359 | |
The preliminary purchase price allocation was based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (defined as the twelve months following the Acquisition Date). The preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were estimated to approximate carrying values since they are short term in nature, and they are receivable or payable on demand. These assets and liabilities were cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, other liabilities, and deferred revenue. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the tax impact. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition Date throughout the remainder of the measurement period. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired is fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting. For assets and liabilities excluded from the scope of the intangible asset and property, plant and equipment valuation, the Company considered net book value to be a reasonable proxy as of the Acquisition Date.
The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $318.4 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets.

Total | | $ | 318,365 | | | |
The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the Excess Earnings Method (customer relationships and backlog) and Relief from Royalty Method (trade name). Significant inputs using the Excess Earnings Method and Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy include estimated revenue, expenses based on actuals and forecast, and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital for customer relationships of 15% for Spain, 16.5% for Brazil and 14.0% for Spain foreign sourced projects and for order backlog of 8.5% for Spain, 9.5% for Brazil and 7.5% for Spain foreign sourced projects. Significant inputs to the Relief from Royalty method model include estimates of future revenue, economic life, estimated royalty rate of 1.25%, and a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital 15.2%. The weighted average cost of capital was determined based on the Company’s capital structure, cost of capital, inherent business risk profile and long-term growth expectations. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the STI Acquisition.
The amounts of revenue and net loss of STI included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the Acquisition Date through September 30, 2022 are $237.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

(1) Effective interest rate for the Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 1.5%.
On December 3, 2021 and December 9, 2021, the Company completed a $425.0 million private offering of $375($375 million and $50 million, over allotment, respectively, in aggregate principal amountrespectively), of its 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”), resulting in proceeds of $364.7$413.3 million ($364.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively,respectively), after deducting the original issue discount of 2.75%. The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated December 3, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on December 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the principal balance of the Convertible Notes was $425.0 million with unamortized discount and issuance costs of $9.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for a net carrying amount of $415.2 million and $413.8 million, respectively.
The conversion rate for the Notes was initially 41.9054 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.86 per share of common stock or 10.1 million shares of common stock. The Convertible Notes were not convertible during the nine months ended September 30, 20222023, and none have been converted to date. Also, given that the average market price of the Company’s common stock has not exceeded the exercise price since inception, there was no dilutive impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.2023.
Capped Calls
In connection with the issuances of the Convertible Notes, the Company paid $52.9 million, in aggregate, to enter into capped call option agreements to reduce the potential dilution to holders of the Company’s common stock after a conversion of the Convertible Notes. Specifically, upon the exercise of the capped callCapped Call instruments issued pursuant to the agreements (the “Capped Calls”), the Company would receive shares of its common stock equal to approximately 17.8 million shares (a) multiplied by (i) the lower of $36.0200 or the then-current market price of its common stock, less (ii) the applicable exercise price, $23.86, and (b) divided by the then-current market price of its common stock. The results of this formula are that the Company would receive more shares as the market price of its common stock exceeds the exercise price and approaches the cap, which was initially $36.0200$36.02 per share.
Consequently, if the Convertible Notes are converted, then the number of shares to be issued by the Company would be effectively partially offset by the shares of common stock received by the Company under the Capped Calls as they are exercised. The formula above would be adjusted in the event of certain specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, includingincluding: a merger; a tender offer; nationalization, insolvency or delisting of the Company’s common stock; changes in law; failure to deliver; insolvency filing; stock splits, combinations, dividends, repurchases or similar events; or an announcement of certain of the preceding actions.
The Company can also elect to receive the equivalent value of cash in lieu of shares of common stock upon settlement, except in certain circumstances. The Capped Calls expire on December 1, 2028, and terminate upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events such as a merger, tender offer, nationalization, insolvency, delisting, event of default, a change in law, failure to deliver, an announcement of certain of these events, or an early conversion of the Convertible Notes. Although intended to reduce the net number of shares of common stock issued after a conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Capped Calls were separately negotiated transactions, are not a part of the terms of the Convertible Notes, and do not affect the rights of the holders of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls meetSee Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for information regarding the criteria for equity classification because they are indexed to the Company’s common stock and the Company has discretion to settle the Capped Calls in shares or cash. As a result, the amount paidaccounting for the Capped Calls was recorded as a reductionCalls.

On or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing, the Company may pay dividends on the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares either in (i) cash at the then-applicable Cash Regular Dividend Rate (as defined below), (ii) through accrual to the Liquidation Preference at the Accrued Regular Dividend Rate (as defined below) of 6.25% (the “Permitted Accrued Dividends”), or (iii) a combination thereof. Following the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing, dividends are payable only in cash. To the extent the Company does not declare such dividends and pay in cash following the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing, the dividends accrue to the Liquidation Preference (“Default Accrued Dividends”) at the then-applicable Cash Regular Dividend Rate plus 200 basis points. In the event there are Default Accrued Dividends outstanding for six consecutive quarters, the Company, at the option of the holders of the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock,Shares, will pay 100% of the amount of Default Accrued Dividends by delivering to such holder a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of Default Accrued Dividends divided by (ii) 95% of the 30-day VWAP of the Company’s common stock.stock (“Non-Cash Dividend”).
As used herein, “Liquidation Preference” means, with respect to any shares of the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, the initial liquidation preference of $1000 per share plus any accrued dividends of such share as the time of the determination.
The “Cash Regular Dividend Rate” of the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares means (i) initially, 5.75% per annum on the Liquidation Preference and (ii) increased by (a) 50 basis points on each of the fifth, sixth and seventh anniversaries of the Initial Closing and (b) 100 basis points on each of the eighth, ninth and tenth anniversaries of the Initial Closing. The “Accrued Regular Dividend Rate” on the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares means 6.25% per annum on the Liquidation Preference.
There are no Permitted Accrued DividendsAs used herein, “Liquidation Preference” means, with respect to the Series A Shares, the initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus accrued asdividends of September 30, 2022 with dividends paid forsuch share at the time of the determination.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 $18.7 million (the “Q3 Dividend Payment”). Permitted Accrued Dividends resulted in 13 shares of2023, the Company accrued dividends on the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock being issued asShares at the Accrued Regular Dividend rate of 6.25% totaling $19.6 million. As of September 30, 2022 which2023, total accrued and unpaid dividends were settled with the Q3 Dividend Payment and no longer outstanding. Dividends declared and paid as of December 31, 2021 were $8.2$26.0 million.
The shares of Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares have similar characteristics of an “Increasing Rate Security” as described by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock. As a result, the discount on Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend using the effective interest method, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings, or additional paid in capital in the absence of retained earnings, and increasing the carrying amount of the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred StockShares by a corresponding amount. TheAccordingly, the discount of $120.2 million is therefore being amortized over five years using the effective yield method. The amortization in each period is the amount which, together with the stated dividend in the period, results in a constant rate of effective cost with regard to the carrying amount of the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock.
The Company has presented the Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock in temporary equity and is accreting the discount on the increasing rate dividends using the effective interest method. Such accretion totaled $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Company paid the cash dividend for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $6.3 million in dividends at a rate of 5.75% as of September 30, 2022.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue disaggregated by salesrecognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (“contract assets”), and deferred revenue (“contract liabilities”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the Company’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses, in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. Billing sometimes occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. The changes in contract assets and the corresponding amounts recorded over-timein revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing and salesvolume of billings.
Contract assets are recorded within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis and consisted of the following at a point in timethe end of each reporting period (in thousands):

Bill-and-Hold Arrangements
Revenue recognized for the Company’s federal investment tax credit (“ITC”) were determined to have multiple performance obligations satisfied at a point in time instead of one performance obligation satisfied over time. The disaggregated revenue information above for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been restated to correct this error, which resulted in $223.2 million of revenue being reclassified from over-time revenue to point in time revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Revenue recognized for the ITC-related contracts and standalone system component sales is recorded at a point in time and recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the Company’s customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is typically upon delivery to the customer in line with shipping terms.
In certain situations, the Company recognizes revenue under a bill-and-hold arrangement with its customers. When this occurs, theAn example of such a situation is when customers purchase material prior to the start of construction of a solar project in order to meet the Five Percent Safe Harbor test to qualify for the ITC. Because the customers lack sufficient storage capacity to accept a large amount of material prior to the start of construction, they request that the Company keep the product in its custody. The materialAll bill-and-hold inventory is bundled or palletized in the Company’s warehouses, separately identified separately as not belonging to the respective customerCompany and is ready for immediate transport to the customer project upon customer request. Additionally, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. As ofDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, the Company had no contracts with customersrecognized zero and $22.8 million, respectively, in revenue from a single customer for the sale of goods and services that also contained bill-and-hold obligations such as storage, handling and other custodial duties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Any losses incurred on point-in-time projects are recognized as the goods are delivered.

Contingent Consideration
Tax Receivable Agreement
Concurrent with the Former Parent’s acquisition of Array Technologies Patent Holdings Co., LLC on July 8, 2016, the Company’s operating subsidiary, Array Tech, Inc. (f/k/a Array Technologies, Inc.), entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with the former majority shareholder of Array. The TRA is valued based on the future expected payments under the agreement. The TRA provides for the payment by Array Tech, Inc., to the former owners for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Array Tech, Inc., from the use of certain deductions generated by the increase in the tax value of the developed technology. The TRA is accounted for as contingent consideration and subsequent changes in fair value of the contingent liability are recognized in contingent consideration inon the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the fair value of the TRA was $7.1$9.6 million and $14.6$8.6 million, respectively.
Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the TRA is by nature imprecise. The significant fair value inputs used to estimate the future expected TRA payments to the former owners include the timing of tax payments, a discount rate, book income projections, timing of expected adjustments to calculate taxable income and the projected rate of use for attributes defined in the TRA.
Payments made under the TRA consider tax positions taken by the Company and are due within 125 days following the filing of the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns under procedures described in the agreement. The current portion of the TRA liability is based on tax returns. The TRA will continue until all tax benefit payments have been made or the Company elects early termination under the terms described in the TRA.

The Capped Calls are valued using a Black-Scholes model, with the most judgmental unobservable input being the volatility measure. The value of the Capped Call is determined using unobservable inputs and is considered to be a Level 3 value in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the Term Loans and Other Debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs. The carrying values of the Term Loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit facility recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates.
Other Debt totaling $55.3 million, consists of $40.0 million variable rate obligations and $15.3 million fixed rate obligations. Of the $15.3 million fixed rate obligations, $3.3 million mature in 2023 and $11.9 million mature in 2024. Due to the relative short-term maturity of the fixed rate obligations, the Company believes current carrying value approximates fair value. The carrying value of the $40.0 million variable rate obligations approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates.
13. Equity-Based Compensation
2020 Equity Incentive Plan
On October 14, 2020, the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) became effective. The 2020 Plan authorized 6,683,919 new shares, subject to adjustments pursuant to the 2020 Plan.
DuringRestricted Stock Units
Pursuant to the nine months ended September 30, 2022,2020 Plan, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,433,829grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and members of the Company’s board of director members and 466,916 performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executives.directors. The fair value of the RSUs is determined using the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
RSU activity under the 2020 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was as follows:

Performance Stock Units
The Company has granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain employees. The PSUs cliff vest after three years and upon meeting certain revenue and adjusted EPS targets. The PSUs also contain a modifier based on the total stock return (TSR)(“TSR”) compared to a certain index which modifies the number of PSUs that vest. The PSUs were valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation method with a volatility assumptionon the date of 66% - 79%, risk free interest rate of 0.28% - 2.79%grant based on the United StatesU.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates and no dividends paid assumption.

rates. The Company accounted for equity grants to employees of Class B Units and Class C Units (collectively, the “Units”) of Former Parent as equity-based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Units contain vesting provisions as definedfollowing assumptions were used in the agreement. Vested Units do not forfeit upon termination and represent a residual interest in Former Parent. Equity-based compensation cost is measured atMonte Carlo simulation for computing the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, including those Units with graded vesting with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital as a capital contribution from Former Parent. However, the amount of equity-based compensation at any date is equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested.
The UnitsPSUs issued to employees are measured at fair value on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company utilizes the estimated weighted average of the Company’s expected fund life dependent on various exit scenarios to estimate the expected term of the awards. Expected volatility is based on the average of historical and implied volatility of a set of comparable companies, adjusted for size and leverage. The risk-free rates are based on the yields of U.S. Treasury instruments with comparable terms. Actual results may vary depending on the assumptions applied within the model.
On November 19, 2019 and May 19, 2020, Former Parent issued 22,326,653 and 4,344,941, respectively, Class B Units to certain employees of the Company. On March 28, 2020, Former Parent issued 1,000 Class C Units to a member of the board of directors of Array Technologies, Inc.
On March 23, 2021, in connection with the closing of the 2021 Follow-On Offering, all of the outstanding Class B Units of Former Parent were immediately vested per the terms of the equity awards, resulting in the Company accelerating the recognition of equity-based compensation of $8.9 million forduring the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2023 and 2022:

Overview
We are one of the world’s largest manufacturers of ground-mounting tracking systems used in solar energy projects.projects at utility scale. Our principal products are a portfolio of integrated systemsolar tracking systems comprised of steel supports, electric motors, gearboxes and electronic controllers commonly referred to as a single-axis “tracker.” Trackers move solar panels throughout the day to maintain an optimal orientation to the sun, which significantly increases their energy production. Solar energy projects that use trackers generate more energy and deliver a lower Levelized Cost of Energy than projects that use “fixed tilt” mounting systems, which do not move. The vast majority of ground mounted solar systems in the United States, and an increasing amount outside of the U.S., use trackers.
Our flagship trackerstracker uses a patented design that allows one motor to drive multiple rows of solar panels through articulated driveline joints. To avoid infringing on our U.S. patent, our competitors must use designs that we believe are inherently less efficient and reliable. For example, our largest competitor’s design requires one motor for each row of solar panels. As a result, we believe our products have greater reliability, lower installation costs, reduced maintenance requirements and competitive manufacturing costs. Our core U.S. patent on a linked-row, rotating gear drive system does not expire until February 5, 2030.
Array acquiredWith our acquisition of STI Norland in January 2022, introducingwe added a dual-row tracker design to theour product portfolio. This tracker uses one motor to drive two connected rows and is ideally suited for sites with irregular and highly angled boundaries or fragmented project areas. To offer a comprehensive set of solutions to the growing market, in September of 2022, Arraywe also introduced a third tracker product requiring significantly less grading and civil works permitting prior to installation in addition to accommodating uneven terrain. This suite of products extends Array’sour target applications and bankabilityability to deliver the best utility-scale solar tracker solutions to the market. All of our products are protected by U.S. and international patents, including our core U.S. patent on a linked-row, rotating gear drive system which does not expire until February 5, 2030.
We sell our products to engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”) that build solar energy projects and to large solar developers, independent power producers and utilities, often under master supply agreements or multi-year procurement contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, we derived 79%72% and 21%28% of our revenues from customers in the United States and the rest of the world, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we had shipped more than 70.0 gigawatts of trackers to customers worldwide, including STI.
WeOur corporate headquarters are a U.S. company, and our headquarters and principal manufacturing facility arelocated in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As of September 30, 2022,2023, we had 1,1181,058 full-time employees, up from 471 as of December 31, 2021, with the increase primarily due to the STI Acquisition (as defined below).employees.
Acquisition of STI Norland
On January 11, 2022, (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company closed thecompleted its acquisition (the “STI Acquisition”) of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”) pursuant to that certainSTI for purchase agreement, dated November 10, 2021, by and among Amixa Capital, S.L. and Aurica Trackers, S.L., each a company duly organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (together, the “Sellers”) and Mr. Javier Reclusa Etayo (the “STI Purchase Agreement”). In accordance with the STI Purchase Agreement, the Company paid closing consideration to the Sellers consisting of $410.5 million in cash and 13,894,800 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the purchase consideration was $610.8 million and resulted in the Company owning 100% of the equity interests in STI.
The STI Acquisition provided the Company with an immediate presence in Brazil, Western Europe and South Africa.
As a result of the STI Acquisition, the Company began reporting its results of operations in two segments: its Array legacy operating segment (the “Array Legacy Operations”) and the newly acquired operations (the “STI Operations”) pertaining to STI. The primary source ofgenerates revenue of the STI Operations isthrough the design, manufacture and sale of its utility-scale solar tracker systemsystems to utility scale customers in principalglobal markets tothat include Spain, Brazil, U.S. and South AfricaAfrica. The integration of STI provides us the opportunity to accelerate our international expansion and other international markets.better address rising global demand for utility-scale solar projects, particularly in developing countries in South America and Africa.
Update onOut-of-Period Adjustment for the ImpactCorrection of COVID-19Errors
We continueDuring the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company identified certain errors in its previously issued financial statements that have been corrected through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has concluded that the cumulative out-of-period adjustment for the correction of these errors is not material to closely monitor the ongoing impactfinancial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. A summary of these corrections and a summary of the COVID-19 pandemiccumulative impact is provided in all the locations where we operate. Our priority remains the welfare of our employees. We expect persistent waves of COVID-19, including variants of the virus, to remain a headwind into the near future. The durationNote 1 – Organization, Business and extent to which it will continue to adversely impact our business and results of operations remain uncertain and could be material.
We are continuously evaluating our capital structure in response to the current environment and expect that our current financial condition, including our liquidity sources will be adequate to fund future commitments. See additional discussion in the Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOut-of-Period Adjustments section below.in Part I of this Quarterly Report.
Inflation
The Company could see an impact from elevated inflation and other operating costs. InflationInflationary pressures are expected to persist, at least in the United States peaked at a year-over-year ratenear-term, and may continue to negatively impact our results of 9.1%operation. To mitigate the inflationary pressures on our business, we have implemented selective price increases in June, before moderatingcertain markets, accelerated productivity initiatives and expanded our supplier base, while continuing to a still-elevated 8.2% in September. In Europe, energy price pressures and inflation have remainedexecute on an upward path, with September U.K. inflation rebounding to 10.1% and Euro Area inflation at 9.9%, both on a year-over-year basis. Interest rates have increased quickly and substantially as central banks in developed countries raise interest rates in an effort to subdue inflation, while government deficits and debt remain at high levels in many global markets. The eventual implications of higher government deficits and debt, tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higheroverhead cost of capital during our forecast period.containment practices.
Impact of Potential Solar Module Supply Chain Disruptions
In FebruaryOn April 1, 2022, Auxin Solar Inc., a U.S. producer of crystalline silicon PV products, petitioned the U.S. Department of Commerce (“USDOC”) initiated anti-circumvention inquiries of the U.S. Solar 1 Orders covering merchandise from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia pursuant to investigate alleged circumventionSection 781 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The USDOC issued preliminary determinations in these inquiries on December 1, 2022, affirmatively finding that certain photovoltaic solar cells and modules produced in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia using parts and components from China from certain producers and/or exporters, are circumventing the Solar 1 Orders and therefore should be subject to the antidumping and countervailing duties on Chinese imports by crystalline silicon PV cells and module imports assembled and completed in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. On March 28, 2022, the USDOC announced that it would investigate the circumvention alleged in the petition. As disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the investigation created uncertainty related to the supply of solar modules. duty liabilities arising from those orders.
As a result of the USDOC’s investigation, the Companywe saw a number of projects in itsour order book
initially delayed; however, on June 6, 2022, President Biden suspended,issued an emergency declaration delaying the imposition of any cash deposit or duty payment obligations on merchandise subject to these inquiries until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the order on June 6, 2024, or (ii) termination of the emergency declaration by the President. Merchandise from the four subject countries covered under the scope of these inquiries should therefore not be subject to any antidumping or countervailing duty liabilities under the Solar 1 Orders until the termination of the emergency declaration as long as the importer(s) and exporter(s) follow proper certification procedures that will be implemented by the USDOC. On May 3, 2023, however, the U.S. Senate voted to repeal President Biden’s emergency declaration. On May 16, President Biden announced that he had vetoed the U.S. Senate’s actions, and the emergency declaration will remain in place until June of 2024.
On August 18, 2023, the USDOC announced the final determinations in the circumvention inquiries of solar cells and modules from China. The USDOC found that certain Chinese producers were shipping solar products through Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and/or Vietnam for a period of 24 months, certain minor processing in an attempt to circumvent
antidumping and countervailing duties. The final determination affirms the USDOC’s preliminary findings in most respects; however, pursuant to President Biden’s June 6, 2022 emergency declaration, duties will not be collected on crystalline silicon PV cellsany solar module and modulecell imports assembledfrom these four countries until June 2024. The repeal of the President’s emergency declaration, and completedany affirmative determinations made once the suspension is lifted in southeast Asia. Due to these developments the Company has not observed a material decrease in customer demand for our product, and unless the duties are reinstated, the Company does not currently believe the investigation is reasonably likely toany event, would have a materialan adverse effect on future periods.the global solar energy marketplace, and as such, an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
While we do not sell solar modules, the degree of our exposure is dependent on, among other things, the impact of the investigation on the projects that are also intended to use our products, with such impact being largely out of our control. To date, the Company haswe have seen a number of projects in our order book delayed as a result of the USDOC investigation.investigation; however, the ultimate severity or duration of the expected solar panel supply chain disruption or its effects on our clients’ solar project development and construction activities remains uncertain. More broadly, legislation has been proposed that would make it easier for domestic companies to obtain affirmative determinations in antidumping and countervailing duties investigations. The proposed USICA/America COMPETES Act, if enacted, could result in future successful petitions that limit imports from Asia and other regions.
Additionally, certain suppliers could be blocked from importing solar panelsSolar panel imports to the United States underU.S. may also be impacted by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”). UFLPA seeks that was signed into law by President Biden on December 23, 2021. According to block the import of products made with forced labor in certain areas of China. An inter-agency task force produced a report on June 21, 2022 which, among other things, includes a list of entities that are believed to be using or benefiting from forced labor. Some suppliers of solar modules have seen shipments detained by USU.S. Customs and Border Patrol pursuantProtection, “it establishes a rebuttable presumption that the importation of any goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China, or produced by certain entities, is prohibited by Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and that such goods, wares, articles, and merchandise are not entitled to entry to the UFLPA. These detainments haveU.S. The presumption applies unless the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection determines that the importer of record has complied with specified conditions and, by clear and convincing evidence, that the goods, wares, articles, or merchandise were not directly impactedproduced using forced labor.” There continues to be uncertainty in the market around achieving full compliance with UFLPA, whether related to sufficient traceability of materials or other factors. This has created a significant compliance burden and constrained solar panel imports. We cannot currently predict what, if any, of Array’s projects to date; however, we cannot be certain that future detainments will not directly impact projects that use our products and services. Array is monitoring whetherthe UFLPA will affect supplieshave on the overall future supply of solar modules forpanels into the U.S. and the related timing and cost of our clients’ solar project, development and construction activities. While we do not import or sell solar panels, project delays caused by solar panel constraints may negatively impact our product delivery schedules and future sales, and therefore our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Petitions on Aluminum Extrusions
On October 4, 2023, domestic producers filed petitions with the USDOC International Trade Commission, seeking antidumping duties on imports of aluminum extrusions from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Vietnam, and countervailing duties on such imports from China, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey.
The merchandise subject to this investigation is aluminum extrusions, regardless of form, finishing or fabrication, whether assembled with other parts or unassembled, whether coated, painted, anodized or thermally improved. Certain components in our trackers, including certain clamps, U-joints, and bearing housings are made using extruded aluminum. It is anticipated that the USDOC will set preliminary countervailing duty rates in March of 2024 and preliminary antidumping rates in May of 2024, with the potential to cover materials imported from December 2023 and February 2024 onward, respectively. We cannot currently predict what, if any, impact the USDOC’s investigation will have on the overall future supply of these components. We continue to monitor developments in the projectsinvestigation and work to whichmitigate its impact on our
supply chain, but if we sellare unable to do so, these antidumping and countervailing duties could negatively impact our products.business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Impact of the Ongoing Russian-Ukraine Conflict in Ukraine
The ongoing Russian-Ukraineconflict in Ukraine has reduced the availability of material that can be sourced in Europe and, as a result, increased logistics costs for the procurement of certain inputs and materials used in our products. We do not know ultimate severity or duration of the conflict, in Ukraine, but we continue to monitor the situation and evaluate our procurement strategy and supply chain as to reduce any negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Performance Measures
In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements with other operating metrics. These operating metrics are utilized by our management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and formulate projections. The primary operating metric we use to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products from year to year is megawatts (“MWs”) shipped generally and the change in MW shipped from period to period specifically. MWs are measured for each individual project and calculated based on the expected output of that project once installed and fully operational.
We also utilize metrics related to price and cost of goods sold per MW, including average selling price (“ASP”) and cost per watt (“CPW”). ASP is calculated by dividing total applicable revenues by total applicable MWs, while CPW is calculated by dividing total applicable costs of goods sold by total applicable MWs. These metrics enable us to evaluate trends in pricing, manufacturing cost and customer profitability.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
The following discussion describes certain line items in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue
Our operating segments generate revenue from the sale of solar tracking systems, parts and services. Our customers include EPCs, utilities, large solar developers and independent power producers. For each individual solar project, we enter into a contract with our customers covering the price, specifications, delivery dates and warranty for the products being purchased, among other things. Our contractual delivery period for the tracker system and parts can vary from days to several months. Contracts can range in value from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars.
Our revenue is affected by changes in the volume and ASPs of solar tracking systems purchased by our customers. The quarterly volume and ASP of our systems is driven by the supply of, and demand for, our products, changes in product mix between module type and wattage, geographic mix of our customers, strength of competitors’ product offerings, and availability of government incentives to the end-users of our products.
Our revenue growth is dependent on continued growth in the amount of solar energy projects installed each year as well as our ability to increase our share of demand in each of the geographies where we compete, expanding our global footprint to new evolving markets, growing our production and supply chain capabilities to meet demand, and continuing to develop and introduce new and innovative products that address the changing technology and performance requirements of our customers.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue for both segments consists primarily of product costs, including purchased components, as well as costs related to shipping, tariffs, customer support, product warranty, personnel and depreciation of test and manufacturing equipment. Personnel costs in cost of revenue includes both direct labor costs as well as costs attributable to any individuals whose activities relate to the transformation of raw materials or component parts into finished goods or the transportation of materials to the customer.
Some of these costs, primarily personnel and depreciation of test and manufacturing equipment, are not directly affected by sales volume. Our product costs are affected by the underlying cost of raw materials, including steel and aluminum; component costs, including electric motors and gearboxes; technological innovation; economies of scale resulting in lower component costs and improvements in production processes and automation. In 2021, our business was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by increased raw materials and shipping costs and shipping delays which have resulted in reduced margins and in certain instances have incurred remediation costs and liquidated damages owed to the customer. We have modified our processes in order to decrease the impact on our margins from these cost increases; however, we do not know how long the current operating environment will persist. We do not currently hedge against changes in the price of raw materials. Some
In addition, cost of these costs, primarily personnel and depreciationrevenue includes amortization of test and manufacturing equipment, are not directly affected by sales volume.developed technology.
Gross profit may vary from quarter to quarter and is primarily affected by our ASPs, product costs, product mix, customer mix, geographical mix, shipping method, warranty costs and seasonality.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of general and administrative costs, contingent consideration, as well as depreciation and amortization expense. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses and include salaries, benefits, payroll taxes and commissions. Our full-time employee headcount in our general and administrative departments has grown from approximately 210 as of December 31, 2021 to approximately 424, due in part to the STI Acquisition, as of September 30, 2022, and we expect to continue to hire new employees to support our growth. The timing of these additional hires could materially affect our operating expenses in any particular period, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue. We expect to continue to invest substantial resources to support our growth and continued technological
advancement and anticipate that general and administrative and depreciation expenses will increase in absolute dollar amounts for the foreseeable future.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, equity-based compensation, employee benefits and payroll taxesequity-based compensation related to our executives,executive, sales, engineering, finance, human resources, information technology engineering and legal organizations,personnel, as well as travel, facilitiesfacility costs, marketing, bad debt provision and fees for professional services. Professional services consist of audit, legal, tax, insurance, information technology and other costs. We expect an increase in the number of sales and marketing personnel in connection with the expansion of our global sales and marketing footprint, enabling us to penetrate new markets. The majority of our sales in 2022 were in the U.S.; however, with the STI Acquisition, we continue to expand our international presence with additional global sales staff. We currently have a sales presence in the U.S., Australia, the U.K., Spain, South Africa and Brazil. We intend to continue to expand our sales presence and marketing efforts to additional countries. We also expect thatfees. Further, as a relatively new public company, we willmay incur additional audit, accounting, tax, accounting, legal and other costs related to compliance with applicable securities laws and other regulations, as well as additional insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company. We also anticipate an increase in our spend related to product innovation as we hire additional engineering resources and increase our external research & development spend.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration consists of the changes in fair value of the Taxes Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) entered into with Ron P. Corio, a former indirect stockholder, concurrent with the Acquisition of Array Technologies Patent Holdings Co., LLC by our Former Parent.Parent, ATI Investment Parent, LLC.
The TRA liability is recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings. The TRA will generally provide for the payment by our operating company, Array Tech, Inc. (f/k/a Array Technologies, Inc.), to Ron P. Corio for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Array Tech, Inc. from the use of certain deductions generated by the increase in the tax value of the developed technology. Estimating fair value of the TRA is by nature imprecise. The significant fair value inputs used to estimate the future expected TRA payments to Ron P.Mr. Corio include the timing of tax payments, a discount rate, book income projections, timing of expected adjustments to calculate taxable income and the projected rate of use for attributes defined in the TRA.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation in our operating expense consists of costs associated with property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) not used in manufacturing of our products. We expect that as we continue to grow both our revenue and our general and administrative personnel, we will require some additional PP&E to support this growth resulting in additional depreciation expense.
Amortization of intangibles consists of developed technology, customer relationships, contractual backlog, and the STI trade name amortized over their expected period of use.
Non-Operating Expenses
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest and other charges paid in connection with (i) our Senior$575 million senior secured 7-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), (ii) our $200 million senior secured 5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility andFacility”), (iii) our 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”) issued in December 2021, as well as other debt, and (iv) the Other Debt we assumed in connection with the STI Acquisition.
Legal Settlement
Legal settlement income includes a legal settlement awarded and paid from Nextracker LLC, for $42.8 million for the Company asserting (among other claims) trade secret misappropriation, tortious interference with contract, fraud, and breach of contract (the “Nextracker Litigation”).
Income Tax Expense
We are subject to United StatesU.S. federal and state income taxes as well as foreignand non-U.S. income taxes. As we expand into additional foreign markets, we may be subject to additional foreign tax.

We have historically financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from capital contributions, operating cash flows and short and long-term borrowings. Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent on the strength of our gross margins as well as our ability to quickly turn our working capital. Due toBased on our past performance and current macroeconomic conditions, our industry has seen rapid changes in commodity prices, global tightening of supply chains, and strained logistics. These factors adversely impacted our business, causing us to experience decreased margins and thus decreased cash from operations. In addition, they led to an increase in our unbilled receivables and in some instances liquidated damages owed to our customers. Unbilled receivables, which represent temporary timing differences between shipments made and billing milestones achieved, were $137.0 million and $111.2 millions of the accounts receivable balances as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These amounts have not been billed becauseexpectations, we are waiting for agreed upon billing stipulations such as billing on a specified date of the month or upon completion of MW deliveries. The Company continues to improve its supply chain, logistics, and labor shortage issues to avoid causing any additional delays in delivering specific components to complete a MW delivery. Accordingly, we would expect the unbilled receivable balance as a percentage of revenue to improve once the billing criteria is satisfied and the customers are invoiced. The extent to which macroeconomic concerns, including the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates, elevated inflation levels and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, may further impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition andbelieve that operating cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
We have taken mitigating steps to overcome the economic challenges and, therefore, believe the impact to be temporary, as demonstrated by our sequential margin improvement over the last four quarters. Mitigation efforts to date have generally consisted of the introduction of new supply routes, the use of bulk shipping (to a limited degree), and—with respect to commodity price increases—changes in the Company’s contracting process that are designed to narrow the timeframe between when a price is agreed upon to when prices for the Company’s most volatile cost inputs are fixed. The Company has utilized these strategies in combination over
the last twelve months and expects to continue to do so in response to the recent challenging environment. We continuously evaluate our abilitysufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months and we have sufficient liquidity as well as financing options available to fund current and future commitments.
In January 2022, we issued 50,000 of Series A Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (as defined below), and 1,125,000 shares of our common stock in an Additional Closing (as defined below) for an aggregate purchase price of $49.4 million.cash needs.

The Company has presented the preferred shares in temporary equity and is accreting the carrying amount to its full redemption amount from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest method. Such accretion totaled $5.9 million and $17.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Debt Obligations
Surety Bonds
As of September 30, 2022, we posted surety bonds in the total amount of approximately $175.2 million. We are required to provide surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company’sour performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of September 30, 2023, we posted surety bonds in the total amount of approximately $217.6 million. These off-balance sheet arrangements do not adversely impact our liquidity or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
AsOur condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of September 30, 2022,our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates. To the extent that there wereare material differences between
these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.
We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the followingtime the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the application of our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures from those presented in our 2021 Annual Report.estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The capped call option agreements associated with conversion of the Convertible Notes (the “Capped Calls”) are accounted for as an asset that is recorded at fair value within Derivative assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value to Derivative assets are recorded within change in fair value of derivative assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 1 – Organization, Business Combinationsand Out of Period Adjustments, and Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the accounting of these instruments.
The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting in accordanceCapped Calls are valued using a Black-Scholes model, with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The excess ofmost judgmental non-observable input being the purchase price overvolatility measure. Changes in the assumptions around the volatility can cause significant changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples amongst other items. The valuation of intangible assets, in particular, requires that we use valuation techniques such as the income approach. The income approach includes the use of a discounted cash flow model, which includes discounted cash flow scenarios and requires the following significant estimates: revenue, expenses, capital spending and other costs, and discount rates based on the respective risks of the cash flows. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration we pay for a company is allocated to net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets is recorded to goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually.Capped Call.

Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. For non-U.S. subsidiaries that use a U.S. dollar functional currency, local currency inventories and property, plant and equipment are translated into U.S. dollars at rates prevailing when acquired, and all other assets and liabilities are translated at period end exchange rates. Inventories charged to cost of revenue and depreciation are remeasured at historical rates, and all other income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses which result from remeasurement are included in earnings.recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Customer Financing Exposure
We are also indirectly exposed to interest rate risk because many of our customers depend on debt financings to purchase our product. An increase in interest rates could make it challenging for our customers to obtain the capital necessary to make such purchases on favorable terms, or at all. Such factors could reduce demand or lower the price we can charge for our product, thereby reducing our net sales and gross profit.
Commodity and Component Risk
We are exposed to price risks for the raw materials, components, logistics services, and energy costs used in the manufacturing and transportation of our product. Additionally, some of our raw materials and components are sourced from a limited number of suppliers or a single supplier. We evaluate our suppliers using a robust qualification process. In some cases, we also enter into long-term supply contracts for raw materials and components. Accordingly, we are exposed to price changes in the raw materials and components used in our our product. In addition, the failure of a key supplier could disrupt our supply chain, which could result in higher prices and/or a disruption in our manufacturing process. We may be unable to pass along changes in the costs
of the raw materials and components for our product, or the costs associated with logistics services for the distribution of our product, to our customers and may be in default of our delivery obligations if we experience a manufacturing disruption.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022.2023. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level, due to the material weaknesses identified during the three months ended June 30, 2022, in addition to those previously identified and disclosed in our 20212022 Annual Report.Report and listed below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’sour annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management determined that the previously disclosed material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reportingICFR continue to exist at September 30, 2022.2023. Specifically:
Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Monitoring Activities – We did not maintain appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies were attributed to (i) a lack of a sufficient number of qualified resources and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of control activities, (ii) ineffective identification and (ii)assessment of risks to properly design and implement relevant controls, and (iii) ineffective evaluation and determination as to whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.
Control Activities – These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses within certain business processes:
•Inventory – We did not appropriately design, implement, and implementexecute controls over the existence, accuracy, and cutoff of inventory. As previously reported, we identified a material weakness relating to inventory cut-off and in-transit inventory.
•Revenue Recognition – – (i) We did not appropriately design, implement and maintain effective controls over revenue recognized for certain contractsrecognition, relating to the proper application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, we did not maintain effective controls relating to the (1) identification and recognition of performance obligations for customer contracts and (2) evaluation of customer contracts for potential combination.
•Accounts Receivable – We did not fullyappropriately design, implement and maintain effective controls over the existence of accounts receivable. Specifically, we did not design certain controls at an appropriate precision level to identifyensure the identification of material misstatements.
•Sales Order EntryFinancial Reporting, Consolidation and Business Combination – We did not appropriately design, implement and maintain effective controls over the accuracy of revenue, specifically related to the sales order entryfinancial reporting process. WeSpecifically, we did not maintain effective controls related to (i) preparation of consolidated financial statements, (ii) the accounting for the business combination, including management review controls over contract entrythe valuation and
purchase price allocation, at an appropriate level of precision to ensure accuratedetect a material misstatement, and (iii) consolidation of our subsidiaries. In addition, we did not maintain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to demonstrate execution of the related controls.
•Foreign Currency – We did not appropriately design, implement, and execute controls over foreign currency, including (i) lack of identifying and recording our foreign subsidiaries’ goodwill and intangibles balances in the proper functional currency in our information systems.consolidated financial statements, and (ii) performing proper foreign currency translations. This resulted in the restatement of the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
•Consolidation STI -- As 2023 is the first year STI is required to be Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 compliant, management is in the process of conducting a formal ICFR assessment of STI and has identified material weaknesses in STI’s ICFR as follows:
◦We did not design, implement and maintain effectivemonitor general information technology controls over the consolidation of our foreign subsidiaries which resulted in a classification error of certain personnel costs in the consolidated Companyareas of program change management, user access, and segregation of duties for systems supporting substantially all of STI’s internal control processes.
◦We did not design and implement formal accounting policies, procedures and controls across substantially all of STI’s business processes to achieve timely, complete and accurate financial statements.accounting, reporting, and disclosures.
After giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, and the additional analyses and other procedures that we performed to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our management has concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weaknesses
We are in the process of, and continue to focus on, designing and implementing effective measures to strengthen our internal controls over financial reportingICFR and remediate the material weaknesses. Our planned remediation efforts include the following:
Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Monitoring – – Consistent with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework (COSO 2013 Framework), Principle 4, attracting, developing, and retaining competent personnel, we hired a Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) who is providing an additional level of technical accounting expertise, oversight, and monitoring of the design and performance of both existing and newly implemented controls as noted below. Subsequent to the addition of the new CAO, weWe have hired and will continue to hire additional resources throughout the remainder of 20222023 in accounting and IT to supplement our existing capabilities and capacity,capacity; and we will concentrate on retaining key accounting, IT, and operational personnel. These actions will further serveIn 2023, we have engaged an outside global consulting firm to remediate the material weakness under the COSO 2013 Framework, Principle 16, by enhancing the efforts towards separate evaluations regarding the presence and functionalitysupport our continued enhancement of the componentsdesign and operation of internal control,monitoring controls and other activities that will allow us to timely assess the design and the operating effectiveness of our ICFR. In addition to enhancing our ICFR overall, the consulting firm has been specifically infocused on the areasidentification of new controls and the improvement of existing controls related to STI, inventory management, revenue recognition and accounts receivable sales order entry, and the consolidation process as noted below.well as business combination controls for future acquisitions.
Control Activities:
•Inventory – We continue to implement planned information system enhancements and the expansion of current information system capabilities, which will result in improved reliance on automated controls and less reliance on manual controls. Additionally, we are enhancing the design of existing controls and are implementing new controls over the accounting, processing and recording of inventory. Specifically, we have strengthened the designoperation of the managementcontrol activities over inventory-in-transit, deploying multiple levels of review control over inventory-in-transit. Additionally, we have implemented processes to ensure timely identification and evaluationvalidation of inventory cut-offinformation and are requiring additional accountability from counterparties on the accuracy of incoming and outgoing shipmentsupporting documentation. We have deployedexpect to deploy final phases of information system enhancements and improvedby the useend of current system capabilities in order to improve the accuracy of inventory cut-off, reporting, and reconciliation.
•Revenue Recognition – We have enhanced the design of existing controls and have implemented new controls over the review of the application and recording of revenue for customer contracts under the guidance outlined in ASC 606. We have also designed and implemented more precise reviews and documentation regarding evaluation of contract terms and whether contracts should be combined. These reviews include increased contract analysis from our legal team as well as ensuring qualified2023.
resources are involved•Revenue Recognition and adequate oversightAccounts Receivable is performed during the internal technical accounting review process.
•Accounts Receivable– We have enhanced the design of existing controls and implemented new controls over the processing and review of accounts receivable billings. We are supplementing our accounting staff with more experienced personnel. In addition, we will continue to evaluate our information system capabilities in order to reduce the manual calculations within thisthe revenue recognition business process.
•Sales Order Entry Process –processes. We are enhancing the design of our existing controls over contract value adjustments. Specifically,have begun to deploy information systems enhancements targeted at eliminating manual processes. Additionally, we have implemented additional procedures for our accounting staff to obtain and review documentation to confirm that contract value changes completed by the sales order entry process are accurate. In addition, we will evaluate information system capabilities to reduce the manual calculations within this business process.
•Consolidation Process – We are enhancing the design of existing controls to ensure completeness and accuracy of underlying source data for revenue recognition and customer billing, as well as designing monitoring controls to increase oversight and timely detection of potential errors. Lastly, we will continue to supplement our accounting staff with more experienced personnel which will enable us to incorporate an additional level of review.
•Foreign Currency – We have implemented information system enhancements which will automate this previously manual process. We will we utilize the enhancements in parallel with our manual process for the near term until the enhancements are fully deployed and the process is completely automated. We have continued to enhance the design of existing controls and processes related to the foreign currency translation process and over the consolidation of foreign entities into the Company’sour condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we will strengthen
•Other Areas – We are in the process of remediation activities, including enhancing the design and operating effectiveness of controls around our ICFR. We are actively working with an outside global consulting firm to assist us with (i) reviewing our current processes, procedures, and systems to assess our ICFR to identify opportunities to enhance the design of controls to address relevant risks identified by management, and (ii) enhancing and implementing protocols to retain sufficient documentary evidence of operating effectiveness of such controls. Additional activities in process include the following:
◦Continuing to enhance and formalize our accounting and business operations policies, procedures, and controls to achieve complete, accurate, and timely financial accounting, reporting and necessary disclosures;
◦Enhancing policies and procedures to retain adequate documentary evidence for relevant management review controlcontrols over certain business processes including precision of review and evidence of review procedures performed to demonstrate effective operation of such controls; and
◦Developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the consolidation process include better-documented review criteria, review responsibilitiesdesign and review expectations. In addition, we will evaluate information system capabilitiesthe operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting and make necessary changes to further automate the partially manual consolidation process.design of controls, if any.
While these actions taken and planned actionscurrently in process are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to review our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We acquired STI on January 11, 2022. As a result, we are reviewing the impact of the acquisition to our overall control environment and are making appropriate changesOther than as deemed necessary to our control structure. The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for fiscal year end 2022 will not include the internal control over the financial reporting of STI, in accordance with the SEC’s staff guidance that permits exclusion of acquisitions from their final assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Due to the size, breadth and complexity of STI’s global operation, management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 will exclude the internal control activities of STI. STI represented 15% of total consolidated assets of the Company at September 30, 2022, excluding goodwill and intangible assets which are included within the scope of management’s assessment, and approximately 24% and 20% of total consolidated revenues of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Except for the changes in internal control related to the acquisition of STI,discussed above, there have beenwere no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2022,2023, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
