One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”)
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, introducing several modifications to the energy-related tax incentives originally established under the Inflation Reduction Act. The OBBBA maintained tax credits available to manufacturers and include a credit for ten percent of qualified costs incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity for eligible battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity for eligible battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies are able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032. The OBBBA introduces new limitations related to the sourcing of materials from a prohibited foreign entity starting after December 31, 2025. These provisions restrict eligibility for credits where material assistance is received from such entities. Additionally, the OBBBA includes ownership and effective control related provisions concerning 'specified foreign entities' and 'foreign-influenced entities. The Company has evaluated the OBBBA and determined there is no impact on the financial statements. The Company will evaluate additional guidance as it becomes available.
Since the PTC is a refundable credit (i.e., a credit with a direct-pay option available), the PTC is outside the scope of ASC 740. Therefore, the Company accounts for the PTC under a government grant model. GAAP does not currently address the accounting for government grants received by a business entity that are outside the scope of ASC 740. The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money is recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant.
The PTC is recorded as the applicable items become finished goods and the conditions in the preceding paragraph are met.
The Company recognized PTC credits of $10,341 and $1,799 for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively as a reduction of cost of goods sold on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, grant receivable related to the PTC in the amount of $21,369 and $11,028, respectively, is recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
