Management Commentary

'The first quarter of 2022 was marked by exciting momentum in our acquisition pipeline, significant continued revenue growth, and the completion of audited financials to facilitate the start of our near-term uplist strategy,' said David Massey, Chief Executive Officer of Solar Integrated Roofing. 'Our focus is now on our uplisting strategy - first to the OTCQB and then to the NASDAQ - which will bring additional liquidity and broaden our shareholder base through an enhanced profile within the investment community. With the completion of our recently announced acquisitions, I believe our sales run rate could potentially grow to exceed $400 million per year by the end of 2022.

'On the operational front, we are strategically focusing additional resources on our near-term EV charging pipeline given the recent $5 billion federal commitment for highway EV charging installations as part of the Biden Administration's Infrastructure Bill. To better position ourselves to capture a more robust portion of this generational opportunity, we recently were one of only 16 companies nationally that were awarded a 5-year blanket purchase agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration to install what could be hundreds of thousands of EV charging stations in the coming years.

'Turning to our margin profile, in the first quarter we signed a new pricing agreement with Enphase and a tier-1 solar panel supplier to reduce hardware costs on residential and commercial solar installations by over 25%. This bulk pricing agreement provides a significant opportunity to offer our customers better products, at better pricing, with some of the highest possible project-level margins for our shareholders. This is truly a win-win for all parties involved and we are incredibly excited to partner with a well-known supplier like Enphase.

'Looking ahead in 2022 and beyond, we will continue to prioritize the solar and EV charging segments of our business. The opportunity size and margin potential in these industries is particularly attractive for a company such as ours. The SIRC family of companies is well positioned to continue its rapid pace of operational execution, positioning us to create sustainable, long-term value for my fellow shareholders,' concluded Massey.
