Nathan Mazurek, Pioneer’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Both our E-Bloc and e-Boost businesses continue to grow at a rapid pace, with steady margin expansion, supporting our expectations for at least 50% revenue growth and positive earnings per share for the full-year. Excluding one-time non-cash stock-based compensation, we were profitable during the second quarter, marking the third consecutive quarter of operational profitability. We are reiterating our full-year guidance and we have significant momentum as we head into 2024. This progress comes even as we invested approximately $1.4 million in our new e-Boost solutions during the first half of the year to drive further growth.”
“We continue to see new and expanding use-cases for E-Bloc, as we provide a flexible solution to enable distributed generation with the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and convenience EV charging,” continued Mr. Mazurek. “We expect to deliver continued growth from both E-Bloc and e-Boost in the second-half of 2023 compared to the first half. Our critical power segment, and specifically e-Boost, should deliver incremental revenue growth in the second half of the year as we continue to invest in this innovative solution to drive market awareness. We are seeing strong demand from owners of bus fleets, trucks, and autonomous driving solutions. Electrification initiatives, and the government grants to support fleet electrification, are serving as powerful catalysts for e-Boost.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $12.1 million, an increase of approximately 149.4%, as compared to $4.9 million during the second quarter of last year, primarily due to an increase in sales of our power systems from our T&D Solutions segment and an increase in sales of our equipment from our Critical Power Solutions segment.
