Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights:
Business Highlights:
“Nextracker delivered another strong quarter with robust financial performance amid accelerating global demand for our technology,” said Dan Shugar, founder and CEO of Nextracker. “Bookings for our tracker products remain healthy, leading to a record backlog of greater than $5 billion. The company has now shipped over 150 GW of our tracker systems since inception, and we remain highly focused on driving continued growth in our core business. We are also pleased to see early market traction across our newly acquired businesses, including our recently announced multi-gigawatt advanced module frame supply agreement, as well as record bookings for our foundation solutions and electrical balance of system (eBOS) solutions. Nextracker is executing at a high level and is well positioned to address rapidly expanding global power demand.”
“This quarter reflects the power of our financial discipline and balance sheet strength. We enhanced our capital structure with a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility at investment grade terms,” said Chuck Boynton, CFO of Nextracker. “With a strong cash position, no debt, and consistent free cash flow generation, we’re exceptionally well positioned to support our growth and strategic initiatives. Looking ahead, we’re excited to host our Capital Markets Day on November 12, where we will share more about the opportunities ahead.”
Adjusted EBITDA range of $775 million to $815 million excludes approximately $142 million for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and net intangible amortization.
Adjusted Diluted EPS range of $4.04 to $4.25 excludes approximately $0.78 for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, and net intangible amortization, net of impacts for tax.
Our outlook assumes the current U.S. policy environment remains intact, and in addition, that permitting processes and timelines will remain consistent with historical levels. The Company is closely monitoring potential regulatory actions, which could impact project timing, investment decisions and our financial results.

See the accompanying notes on Schedule V attached to this press release
To supplement Nextracker’s unaudited selected financial data presented consistent with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges and gains, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted free cash flow. These supplemental measures exclude certain legal and other charges, stock-based compensation expense and intangible amortization, other discrete events as applicable and the related tax effects. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the amounts associated with Nextracker’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Nextracker’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s performance.
In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of the Company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to the Company’s ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, for calculating return on investment, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
The following are explanations of each of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding each of these individual items in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of unvested restricted share unit and stock option awards granted to employees. The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of its operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. In addition, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on its operating results.
Intangible amortization consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. The Company considers its operating results without these charges when evaluating its ongoing performance and forecasting its earnings trends, and therefore excludes such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the assessment of its operations excluding these costs is relevant to its assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of its competitors.
Acquisition costs consist primarily of nonrecurring transaction costs for business acquisitions.
Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effects of the various adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income and certain adjustments related to non-recurring settlements of tax contingencies or other non-recurring tax charges, when applicable.
Revolver extinguishment cost consists of nonrecurring costs for the termination of our existing credit agreement originally entered into on February 13, 2023.
