12. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had firm commitments to purchase inventories of approximately $48.5 million through Fiscal 2029. Certain inventory delivery dates and related payments are not scheduled; therefore, amounts under these firm purchase commitments will be payable upon the receipt of the related inventory.

Lease Commitments

See Note 10 – Leases.

Related Party Transactions

In connection with the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 7, 2023, the Company and its Operating Subsidiary were party to a series of agreements with Capstone Distributor Support Services Corporation ("CDSS"), an entity controlled by Goldman Sachs, and its affiliate (“Reorganized PrivateCo”), including a Services Agreement between the Operating Subsidiary and Reorganized PrivateCo (the "Reorganized PrivateCo Services Agreement"). On March 31, 2026, in connection with the closing of the March 2026 PIPE (see Note 15), the Company completed a series of transactions that fully unwound these arrangements, including:

the acquisition of the Distributor Support Services assets previously held by CDSS for $1.0 million (the "DSS Asset Acquisition"), terminating the Reorganized PrivateCo Services Agreement;
the acquisition of the Capstone trademarks previously licensed from Reorganized PrivateCo, terminating the Trademark License Agreement (see Note 8 – Intangible Assets); and
the redemption of all outstanding Preferred Units (as defined herein) held by CDSS (see Note 13 – Temporary Equity), following which the Operating Subsidiary became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

For additional information regarding these related party relationships and the March 31, 2026 unwind, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. There were no related party transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2026, and no related party balances were outstanding as of June 30, 2026 or March 31, 2026.

Legal Proceedings

Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC.

On February 3, 2020, Capstone Turbine Corporation filed suit against its former distributor, Turbine International, LLC (“Turbine Intl.”), in the Superior Court of California alleging breach of contract relating to the parties’ prior distributor relationship (which terminated at the end of March 2018) and Turbine Intl.’s failure to satisfy its payment obligations under certain financial agreements, namely an accounts receivable agreement and promissory note in favor of Capstone. The Company subsequently modified its complaint to include Turbine Intl. guarantors as defendants. The Company was seeking approximately $4.8 million in compensatory damages, along with injunctive relief and attorney’s fees, interest, and costs. In 2024, the Court ordered default judgments first against Turbine Intl. and then against the other defendants. The default judgment in the amount of approximately $7.3 million, which included pre-judgment interest and costs of the suit, was entered and placed on the docket in June 2025. The Company has prevailed in this proceeding. The ability of Capstone to collect on the judgment is unclear, as the defendants are overseas or without U.S.-based assets, therefore we have not recorded a receivable as of June 30, 2026.
