Item 4.02(a) Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On May 31, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Period”) and (ii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (the “Interim Periods”, which, together with the Annual Period, the “Affected Periods”) should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such consolidated financial statements.
During 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized revenues associated with customer contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time (“Over Time Contracts”) using labor hours as the measure of progress. The Company’s underlying estimates of total labor hours required to complete Over Time Contracts were materially different from the actual labor hours required, which was determined to represent an error, and, as a result, the percentage of completion used to recognize revenue in the Affected Periods is materially different from the percentage of completion using actual labor hours incurred. As a result, the Company plans to restate revenues during the Affected Periods to adjust the percentage of completion based upon the actual labor hours incurred to complete each Over Time Contract (the “Revenues Adjustment”).
Additionally, it has since been determined that costs from Over Time Contracts should be expensed as incurred and, as a result, the Company plans to record an adjustment to its consolidated financial statements during the Affected Periods (together with the Revenues Adjustment, the “Adjustments”). As a result of this error, the Adjustments result in the recognition of cost of revenues in the Affected Periods for which the recognition of a portion of the corresponding revenues have been deferred to future periods. For those Over Time Contracts that have been completed by the Company during the Affected Periods, the Adjustments have the effect of derecognizing amounts in one period and recognizing corresponding amounts in another period within the Affected Periods.
Accordingly, the Company intends to restate the consolidated financial statements of the Affected Periods (the “Restatement”) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as soon as reasonably practicable. The impact of the Restatement on the Interim Periods will be summarized in the 2023 Form 10-K, and the Company does not intend to amend its previously issued Form 10-Qs for such Interim Periods.
The Company’s management and the Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent accounting registered public firm.
The information in this Item 4.02 is furnished solely pursuant to Item 4.02. Consequently, such information is not deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Moreover, the information in this Item 4.02 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933.
