“Dear investors, stockholders, and Futurists, I hope this message finds you well.

Ten days ago, FF celebrated its 12th anniversary. Last week, after seven years, I returned to the role of Global CEO of FF. Two days ago, FF completed its latest round of $25 million financing. With $70 million in financing raised recently, we believe this is enough to support the first-phase strategic goals of our robotics business.

Today, standing at the forefront of a new wave of industrial revolution, I release this letter to all of you with great excitement and a deep sense of purpose. Our goal is to lead the team, over the next two years, to finally realize the dream that FF has been fighting for over the past 12 years. With AI First and Stockholders First as our core principles, we will build the Three-in-One ecosystem strategy around EAI, and truly rebuild FF into a Physical AI ecosystem company. This is a mission we must win. There will be no excuses. After years of life-and-death struggles, major ups and downs, and hard-earned lessons, FF’s differentiated advantages and value in this new wave of industrial competition have become even more clear. We must seize this momentum. Through five new transformations, we will move quickly to strengthen the Company’s five unique values:

First, the value created by FF becoming the first U.S company to sell and deliver both humanoid and bionic EAI robots, and by our full ramp-up toward scaled deployment. We aim to take the lead in large-scale deployment across real-world use cases and strengthen our first-mover advantage.

Second, the value created by the continuous evolution of the EAI Brain and Developer Platform.

Third, the value created by real-world data from the EAI Data Factory. In the AI era, core competitiveness is not only about models and computing power. It is also about the ability to collect real-world, high-frequency, multi-dimensional data.

Fourth, the value created by FF’s role as a global EAI industry bridge, especially in cost and efficiency. FF connects the world’s most advanced technology chain, the highest-quality industrial chain, and the most valuable users and use cases. This bridge can help deeply integrate global industrial resources, create stronger coordination, and amplify value.

Fifth, the value created by strategic vision and focus. Together, the four values above — the Three-in-One ecosystem plus the global EAI industry bridge — will form the evolutionary flywheel of the EAI ecosystem. This is our most important long-term value and competitive moat.

On execution, compared with Tesla, one of the leading companies in Embodied AI, FF has six clear points of differentiation:

1. Ecosystem model: FF combines in-house development, an open-source and open developer platform, and a data factory. Tesla follows a full-stack in-house development model, with data mainly used within its own ecosystem.

2. EAI device portfolio: FF offers robots in three humanoid forms and multiple bionic forms. Tesla is focused on one general-purpose humanoid robot.

3. Price range: FF offers a disruptive entry price starting at $10,000, while Tesla is expected to start at approximately $20,000 to $30,000.

4. First-phase market: FF is pioneering the education market and building deep capabilities in B2C family education. Tesla is focused on B2B industrial applications.

5. Technology Approach: FF combines a general-purpose EAI Brain with use-case-specific profession. Tesla focuses on a generalized universal brain.

6. Capital investment: FF combines core in-house AI development with its Bridge model, creating a more asset-light path. Tesla follows a full-stack in-house development model that requires heavier capital investment.

Next, we will carry out a comprehensive transformation across five areas: strategy; product, technology and business; finance; capital; and our AI operating system. We will move forward in three major stages — 2026, the next two years, and the next five years — to maximize FF’s five unique values.

I. Strategic Transformation:

FF has officially upgraded into a U.S.-based Physical AI ecosystem company. Guided by the AI First principle, FF is focused on EAI robotics technology and two major product engines: EAI humanoid and bionic robots, and EAI automotive robots. We are building three major sub-strategies: EAI Devices, EAI Data Factory, and EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform. Together, they form the Three-in-One EAI ecosystem, creating an evolutionary flywheel effect and maximizing commercial value. Our goal is to become one of the top three robotics companies in North America within five years by real-world deployment volume in EAI humanoid and bionic robots. In EAI automotive robots, our goal is to become a leader in the North American EAI MPV market.

II. Product, Technology, and Business Transformation:

In Phase one, the company will concentrate resources on fully scaling our EAI humanoid and bionic robot business. On the EAI Device side, based on our four major product lines and key use cases—including education, security and inspection, reception and guidance, performances, and university research—we have increased our 2026 robot shipment target from 1,000 units to 1,500 units.

We believe the education sector, especially family education—will become the primary use case for the first phase of the 2C robotics market. FF aims not only to pioneer robotics education products, but also to become one of the primary driving forces behind the inaugural year of the U.S. EAI robotics education ecosystem.

For EAI Brain and the Open Source & Open Developer Platform, through our 5×4 architecture, we aim to evolve robots from task-level autonomy toward long-horizon autonomy using VAM, world models, and WBC force-control systems, while leveraging shadow-mode iterations on weekly and monthly cycles. At the same time, we are accelerating commercialization of the EAI Brain, building an open platform architecture, and closing the ‘platform-deployment-data feedback’ loop. Our goal is to attract more than 100 developers and launch over 100 Skills and Agents, significantly enhancing the practical use value of our robots.

For the EAI Data Factory, our goal is to turn real-world data collection and deployment into a flagship industry use case, complete full in-house development of our data software stack, and scale our data business to over $1 million in revenue.

For our Middle East business, our goal is to achieve positive operating cash flow, exceed 200 robot sales and deployments, and expand operations across three countries in the region. The upside potential of our Phase One strategy is that once we secure strategic or long-term investment sufficient to fully fund Super One mass production, we will comprehensively accelerate our EAI EV business and establish dual growth engines.

III. Financial Transformation:

We will continue advancing a balanced approach between financial discipline and business growth, while rapidly improving operating quality and key financial metrics. Our target is to achieve positive operating cash flow by Q4 2027. The core measures include: maintaining the comprehensive gross profit margin of the humanoid and bionic robot device sales, maintaining high gross profit for ecosystem business revenue; shifting from relying on financing cash flow to focusing on operating cash flow; reconstructing the AI system to achieve real-time cost control and operational analysis capabilities; managing the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet well, and maximizing the ‘Three-in-One’ business operating results.

IV. Capital Transformation:

Our goal is to restore the market value of FFAI back to the level it was at when it went public on the NASDAQ in 2021 within two years. This is our most important commitment to stockholders and the most critical performance benchmark for our company. The recent $70 million fundraising from institutional investors is an important starting point for the company’s financing structure to transition from ‘liquidity-driven’ to ‘capital structure governance-driven.’ Going forward, we will gradually transition toward medium to long-term financial investors and strategic investors, while building a financing structure centered on operating cash flow, industrial partnerships, and long-term capital. At the same time, we aim to reduce our reliance on highly dilutive convertible debt financing instruments with short investment cycles. We will continue optimizing our stockholder structure for long-term alignment, while also continuing legal actions against illegal short selling and market manipulation activities.

V. AI System Transformation:

We will not only make AI robots but also transform the company into an AI. We are fully upgrading FF into an AI First operating and management system, transitioning from ‘PPTIA’ toward ‘AI-PPTI,’ while building an AI-native enterprise operating system and a hybrid organization combining humans and AI Agents. This will accelerate the adoption of AI across governance, decision-making, operations, products, and execution. More detailed information regarding Phase One, as well as our goals and initiatives for Phases Two and Three, will be shared during upcoming company all-hands meetings.

Over all these years, many things have changed. But for me personally, three things have never changed: My belief in originality for both technology and product innovation. My commitment to rewarding our stockholders and investors. And my determination to deliver on our promises.

FF will rebuild organizational execution around founder spirit and partner spirit, entering a ‘zero excuses, zero internal friction, results-oriented’ operating mode as we work tirelessly to deliver on our commitments to stockholders and users.

Every day when I walk into the office and see the fire in our team’s eyes, I become even more convinced that the spark we ignited 12 years ago is now burning stronger than ever. The next two years will be the most critical two years in FF’s history. The era of physical AI has arrived, and FF has the opportunity to once again stand at the forefront of the times and become an important driver of the commercialization of real EAI scenarios. FF’s brightest days are ahead of us! Thank you.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, concerning LiveRamp, Publicis, the proposed transaction and other matters. Forward-looking statements contained herein could include, among other things, statements regarding the anticipated timing of the consummation of the proposed transaction; statements about management’s confidence in and strategies for performance of the combined businesses; expectations for new and existing products, technologies and opportunities; and expectations regarding growth, sales, cash flows, and earnings. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of such terms as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “likely,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “project,” “target” or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of LiveRamp or Publicis. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication including, but not limited to: economic uncertainties that could impact LiveRamp or LiveRamp’s suppliers, customers and partners, geopolitical circumstances, including risk related to tariffs and other trade restrictions, the possibility of a recession, general inflationary pressure and high interest rates; the ability and willingness of LiveRamp’s customers to renew their agreements with LiveRamp upon their expiration; LiveRamp’s ability to add new customers and upsell within LiveRamp’s subscription business; LiveRamp’s reliance upon partners, including data suppliers, who may withdraw or withhold data from LiveRamp; increased competition and rapidly changing technology that could impact LiveRamp’s products and services; LiveRamp’s ability to keep up with rapidly changing technology practices in LiveRamp’s products and services or that expected benefits from utilization of technological innovations (including AI) may not be realized as soon as expected or at all; the risk that LiveRamp fails to realize the potential benefits of or have difficulty integrating acquired businesses; and LiveRamp’s inability to attract, motivate and retain talent. Additional risks include maintaining LiveRamp’s culture and LiveRamp’s ability to innovate and evolve while operating in a hybrid work environment, with some employees working remotely at least some of the time within a rapidly changing industry, while also avoiding disruption from reductions in LiveRamp’s current workforce as well as disruptions resulting from acquisition, divestiture and other activities affecting LiveRamp’s workforce. LiveRamp’s global workforce strategy could possibly encounter difficulty and not be as beneficial as planned. LiveRamp’s international operations are also subject to risks, including the performance of third parties as well as impacts from war and civil unrest, that may harm LiveRamp’s business. The risk of a significant breach of the confidentiality of the information or the security of LiveRamp’s or LiveRamp’s customers’, suppliers’, or other partners’ data and/or computer systems, or the risk that LiveRamp’s current insurance coverage may not be adequate for such a breach, that an insurer might deny coverage for a claim or that such insurance will continue to be available to LiveRamp on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could be detrimental to LiveRamp’s business, reputation and results of operations. Other business risks include unfavorable publicity and negative public perception about LiveRamp’s industry; interruptions or delays in service from data center or cloud hosting vendors LiveRamp relies upon; and LiveRamp’s dependence on the continued availability of third-party data hosting and transmission services. LiveRamp’s clients’ ability to use data on LiveRamp’s platform could be restricted if the industry’s use of third-party cookies and tracking technology declines due to technology platform changes, regulation or increased user controls. Continued changes in the judicial, legislative, regulatory, accounting, cultural and consumer environments affecting LiveRamp’s business, including but not limited to litigation, investigations, legislation, regulations and customs at the state, federal and international levels relating to information collection and use represents a risk, as well as changes in tax laws and regulations that are applied to LiveRamp’s customers which could cause enterprise software budget tightening. In addition, third parties may claim that LiveRamp is infringing their intellectual property or may infringe LiveRamp’s intellectual property which could result in competitive injury and / or the incurrence of significant costs and draining of LiveRamp’s resources. Factors that could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward looking-statements in this communication in regard to the proposed transaction concerning LiveRamp and Publicis include, but are not limited to: (1) failure of the closing conditions in the merger agreement to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the proposed transaction or the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or multiple of the parties to terminate the definitive agreement between Publicis and LiveRamp; (2) the possibility that the transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder, or other approvals are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; (3) the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, including those resulting from the announcement, pendency or completion of the transaction; (4) risks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings, value of certain tax assets, synergies and growth or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected; (5) failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; (6) risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; (7) ability to hire and retain key personnel; (8) ability to successfully integrate the companies’ businesses; (9) the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transactions on relationships with third parties, including clients, employees and competitors, including reputational risk; (10) ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; (11) reliance on and integration of information technology systems; (12) suffering reduced profits or losses as a result of intense competition; or (13) potential litigation that may be instituted against LiveRamp or its directors or officers related to the proposed transaction or the merger agreement. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the parties’ businesses, including those described in LiveRamp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, in Part I “Cautionary Statements Relevant to Forward-Looking Information” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and those described in documents Publicis has filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the French securities regulator). The parties do not undertake, nor do they have, any obligation to provide updates or to revise any forward-looking statements.

(2) Non-GAAP income taxes were calculated by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pretax income. The differences between our GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates were primarily due to the net tax effects of the excluded items, coupled with the valuation allowance and smaller pre-tax income for GAAP purposes.

APPENDIX A
LIVERAMP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Q4 FISCAL 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER KEY METRICS
 
To supplement our financial results, we use non-GAAP measures which exclude certain acquisition related expenses, non-cash stock compensation and restructuring charges. We believe these measures are helpful in understanding our past performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures and schedules are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated GAAP financial statements. Our management regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and to make operating decisions. These measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is also based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures.
 
Our non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating income (loss) margin, non-GAAP expenses and adjusted EBITDA reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects when applicable:
 
Purchased intangible asset amortization: We incur amortization of purchased intangibles in connection with our acquisitions. Purchased intangibles include (i) developed technology, (ii) customer and publisher relationships, and (iii) trade names. We expect to amortize for accounting purposes the fair value of the purchased intangibles based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed as revenue is generated. Although the intangible assets generate revenue for us, we exclude this item because this expense is non-cash in nature and because we believe the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance.
 
Non-cash stock compensation: Non-cash stock compensation consists of charges for employee restricted stock units, performance shares and stock options in accordance with current GAAP related to stock-based compensation including expense associated with stock-based compensation related to unvested options assumed in connection with our acquisitions. As we apply stock-based compensation standards, we believe that it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the application of these standards to our operational performance. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by us and because such expense is not used by us to assess the core profitability of our business operations.
 
Restructuring charges: During the past several years, we have initiated certain restructuring activities in order to align our costs in connection with both our operating plans and our business strategies based on then-current economic conditions. As a result, we recognized costs related to termination benefits for employees whose positions were eliminated, lease and other contract termination charges, and asset impairments. These items, as well as third party expenses associated with business acquisitions in the prior years, reported as gains, losses, and other items, net, are excluded from non-GAAP results because such amounts are not used by us to assess the core profitability of our business operations.
 
Transformation costs: In previous years, we incurred significant expenses to separate the financial statements of our operating segments, with particular focus on segment-level balance sheets, and to evaluate portfolio priorities. Our criteria for excluding transformation expenses from our non-GAAP measures is as follows: 1) projects are discrete in nature; 2) excluded expenses consist only of third-party consulting fees that we would not incur otherwise; and 3) we do not exclude employee related expenses or other costs associated with the ongoing operations of our business. We substantially completed those projects during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, and through most of fiscal 2019, we incurred transaction support expenses and system separation costs related to the Company’s announced evaluation of strategic options for its Marketing Solutions (AMS) business. In the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 in response to the potential COVID-19 pandemic impact on our business and again during fiscal 2023 in response to macroeconomic conditions, we incurred significant costs associated with the assessment of strategic and operating plans, including our long-term location strategy, and assistance in implementing the restructuring activities as a result of this assessment. Our criteria for excluding these costs are the same. We believe excluding these items from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors and provides meaningful supplemental information.
 
Our non-GAAP financial schedules are:
 

Non-GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP Income from Operations, and Non-GAAP expenses
: Our Non-GAAP earnings per share, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP operating income margin, and Non-GAAP expenses reflect adjustments as described above, as well as the related tax effects where applicable.
 
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations before income taxes, other income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, and including adjustments as described above. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance from period to period both at the consolidated level as well as within our operating segments and to compare our results to those of our competitors. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s performance and trends. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of our performance.
 
Free Cash Flow: To supplement our statement of cash flows, we use a non-GAAP measure of cash flow to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Management believes that this measure of cash flow is meaningful since it represents the amount of money available from continuing operations for the Company’s discretionary spending. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
 



Nanobiotix Announces Presentation of Part 1 Data From a Randomized Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) in Stage 3 Inoperable Lung Cancer

Data presented by Johnson & Johnson at the 2026 European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) Annual Meeting

PARIS and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  NANOBIOTIX (Euronext: NANO – NASDAQ: NBTX – the “Company”), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering nanotherapeutic approaches to expand treatment possibilities for patients with cancer and other major diseases, today announced the presentation of Part 1 data from the CONVERGE study, a Johnson & Johnson-sponsored randomized Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating potential first-in-class Nanoradioenhancer JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) for patients with stage 3 inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), at the 2026 European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology Annual Meeting (ESTRO 2026).

PRESENTATION #116: Radiographic Response in Patients with Stage III Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with an Intratumoral Radioenhancer (JNJ-90301900)

Jeffrey Bradley,1 Benjamin T. Cooper,2 Sushma Patel,3 David DiBardino,4 Michael Pritchett,5 Kevin C. Ma,4   Isaac Laniado,6 Melina E. Marmarelis,7 Matthew Scarlotta,8 Joshua K. Sabari,9 Yi -Wen Ma,10 Tori Stromp,10 Yina Kuang,10 Balaji Laxmanan,10 Kiran Devisetty,10 Steven Feigenberg1

Study Conclusions

  • Early results suggest that intratumoral/intranodal injection of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) is feasible and can be performed safely in patients with stage III unresectable NSCLC
  • Initial efficacy responses observed in 7 patients following the full treatment regimen of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3), and consolidation with durvalumab are promising:
    • Overall response rate (“ORR”) = 85.7% (6/7 patients)
    • Complete response rate (“CRR”) = 57.1% (4/7 patients)
      • With the current standard of care, concurrent chemoradiation therapy (cCRT) ± durvalumab, depth of response remains limited in Stage 3 Inoperable NSCLC with very low rates of complete response (<5%) * 
    • Disease control rate (“DCR”) = 100.0% (7/7 patients)
  • Absence of progressive disease and deepening response over time suggests potential for long-term durability

About JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3)

JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) is a novel, potentially first-in-class oncology product composed of functionalized hafnium oxide nanoparticles that is administered via one-time intratumoral injection and activated by radiotherapy. Its proof-of-concept was achieved in soft tissue sarcomas through a successful randomized Phase 2/3 study in 2018. The product candidate’s mechanism of action (MoA) is designed to induce significant tumor cell death in the injected tumor when activated by radiotherapy, subsequently triggering adaptive immune response and long-term anti-cancer memory. Given the physical MoA, Nanobiotix believes that JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) could be scalable across any solid tumor that can be treated with radiotherapy and across any therapeutic combination, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Radiotherapy-activated JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) is being evaluated across multiple solid tumor indications as a single agent or combination therapy. The program is led by NANORAY-312—a global, randomized Phase 3 study in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancers. In February 2020, the United States Food and Drug Administration granted regulatory Fast Track designation for the investigation of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) activated by radiation therapy, with or without cetuximab, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced HNSCC who are not eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy—the same population being evaluated in the Phase 3 study.

Given the Company’s focus areas, and balanced against the scalable potential of NBTXR3, Nanobiotix has engaged in a collaboration strategy to expand development of the product candidate in parallel with its priority development pathways. Pursuant to this strategy, in 2019 Nanobiotix entered into a broad, comprehensive clinical research collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to sponsor several Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies evaluating JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) across tumor types and therapeutic combinations. In 2023, Nanobiotix announced a license agreement for the global co-development and commercialization of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3) with Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, a Johnson & Johnson company.

TUESDAY INVESTOR DEADLINE: Power Solutions International, Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit – PSIX

PR Newswire

SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Power Solutions International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSIX) securities between May 8, 2025 and March 2, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until May 19, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Power Solutions International class action lawsuit.  Captioned Dishion v. Power Solutions International, Inc., No. 26-cv-03149 (N.D. Ill.), the Power Solutions International class action lawsuit charges Power Solutions International as well as certain of Power Solutions International’s top executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the

Power Solutions International

class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Power Solutions International designs, engineers, manufactures, markets, and sells engines and power systems.

The Power Solutions International class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Power Solutions International overstated its ability to capture sales demand for its power systems solutions, particularly within the data center market; and (ii) Power Solutions International understated the impact of its enhancements to manufacturing capacity to meet demand within the data center market, including the expected costs and the nature of the related “inefficiencies.”

The Power Solutions International class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 6, 2025, Power Solutions International released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing that “gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 23.9%, a decrease of 5.0%” year-over- year due in part to “temporary inefficiencies related to [Power Solutions International’s] accelerated production ramp-up” for “key data center product lines.”  Power Solutions International also allegedly revealed that it “anticipates … sales growth of 45%” for full year 2025, which indicated a sharp deceleration as Power Solutions International had reported year-over-year growth of 74% in the second quarter and 65% in the third quarter 2025.  On this news, the price of Power Solutions International stock fell more than 19%, according to the complaint.

Then, on March 2, 2026, Power Solutions International announced fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, revealing that gross margin declined 8% year-over-year due to “operating inefficiencies related to [Power Solutions International’s] accelerated production ramp-up for data center product lines.”  Power Solutions International also provided its outlook for 2026, allegedly including only “moderate margin improvement from the products serving data center markets.”  On this news, the price of Power Solutions International stock fell nearly 29%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Power Solutions International securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Power Solutions International class action lawsuit.  A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.  A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Power Solutions International investor class action lawsuit.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Power Solutions International shareholder class action lawsuit.  An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Power Solutions International class action lawsuit.
