SEC filingPioneer Power reported Q1 2026 revenue of $4.3 million, down 36.7% YoY, but gross margin improved to 13.6% from 2.2% and backlog grew sequentially to $13.9 million.
Pioneer Power's first-quarter results reflect a transitional period as the company pivots toward higher-margin products like PRYMUS and PowerCore. Revenue declined 36.7% year-over-year to $4.3 million, primarily due to lower sales and rentals of e-Boost mobile EV charging solutions. However, gross profit jumped to $582,000 from $148,000, yielding a gross margin of 13.6% versus 2.2% a year ago, driven by improved operating efficiencies in the e-Boost platform. Operating loss from continuing operations narrowed slightly to $2.0 million from $2.3 million, while net loss widened to $2.5 million from $0.9 million, the latter benefiting from a $1.1 million gain from discontinued operations in the prior-year quarter. Excluding corporate overhead, R&D, D&A, and non-recurring fees, non-GAAP operating loss improved to $380,000 from $708,000.
Management highlighted several strategic milestones: a $6 million PRYMUS order from a national logistics customer, initial e-Boost shipment to the Middle East, and cost reduction actions expected to save $1.5 million annually. Backlog grew 11% sequentially to $13.9 million, driven by e-Boost order activity averaging over $500,000 per month. CEO Nathan Mazurek noted that the company is building commercial momentum and sees accelerating demand for distributed generation solutions, particularly PRYMUS, which is gaining traction in AI and data center markets. The company ended the quarter with $13.6 million in cash and no bank debt, providing a solid liquidity position to fund growth initiatives.
