| Summary of accounting policies | Summary of accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present the Company’s financial statements fairly have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 or any future period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Nextracker have been eliminated. The first quarters for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 ended on June 27, 2025 (88 days) and June 28, 2024 (89 days), respectively. Translation of foreign currencies The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is primarily the USD. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company recognized foreign currency exchange losses of $0.3 million and $9.8 million during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively, driven by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations in certain currencies. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, provision for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves, contingencies, operation-related accruals, fair values of awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Due to geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they occur. Management believes that these estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting for business acquisitions From time to time, the Company pursues business acquisitions. The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. The Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets, contingent earnout, useful lives of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. The Company estimates the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further review from management and may change between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. Product warranty Nextracker offers an assurance type warranty for its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period ranging from to ten years, depending on the component. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable, which is typically when products are delivered. The estimated warranty liability is based on the Company’s warranty model, which relies on historical warranty claim information and assumptions based on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims for each product line by project. When little or no experience exists, the estimate is based on comparable product lines and/or estimated potential failure rates. These estimates are based on data from Nextracker specific projects. Estimates related to the outstanding warranty liability are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis using best-available information and revisions are made as necessary. The following table summarizes the activity related to the estimated accrued warranty reserve for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024:
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Nextracker’s inventory primarily consists of finished goods to be used and to be sold to customers, including components procured to complete the tracker system projects. Other current assets Other current assets include short-term deposits and advances of $48.6 million and $50.2 million as of June 27, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, primarily related to advance payments to certain vendors for procurement of inventory. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets of $511.3 million and $498.8 million as of June 27, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, are primarily related to the Company’s investment in Nextracker LLC as described in Note 13 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. Accrued expenses Accrued expenses include accruals primarily for freight and tariffs of $48.2 million and $42.9 million as of June 27, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. In addition, accrued expenses also include $37.8 million and $54.1 million of accrued payroll as of June 27, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

During three-month period ended June 27, 2025, a payment of $2.9 million was made to Flex, TPG and the TPG Affiliates, which is presented as a financing activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Other liabilities Other liabilities primarily consist of long-term lease liabilities of $26.6 million and $25.6 million and long-term portion of standard product warranty liabilities of $8.0 million and $6.4 million as of June 27, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Recently issued accounting pronouncement Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 and 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard requiring a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The annual reporting requirements of the new standard are effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2028 and interim reporting requirements are effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in fiscal year 2028 with an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: In December 2023, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2026 with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 with an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements.
