Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to December 31, 2022, page 49
We note your disclosure that the $34.1 million, or 9%, revenue increase in STI
Operations in 2023 was driven by an increase in the number of megawatts shipped,
most notably in the Brazil region, which offset lower ASP, due to a smaller 2.

percentage of construction services being offered. We also note that As a percentage
of revenue, gross profit for STI Operations increased to 24% from 16% for the year
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, driven primarily by improved pass
through of commodity volatility to customers, cost saving opportunities in raw
materials, and a reduced impact of lower margin construction-related services
provided. When more than one factor contributes to the change in amount of a
specific income statement line item, such as revenue or gross profit, please revise your
discussion in future filings to quantify the amount related to each factor, to the extent
material.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Goodwill, page 53
3.We note your disclosure that during the fourth quarter of 2023, with the assistance of
a third-party specialist, you performed a quantitative assessment of the fair value of
your STI reporting unit using the DCF and GPC methods described in Note 7 –
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of the consolidated financial statements. Please
tell us and revise to clarify whether the fair value of the reporting unit significantly
exceeds the carrying value. To the extent any reporting unit is at risk of impairment,
please revise future filings to disclose the percentage by which the fair value exceeded
the carrying value and describe any potential events and/or changes in circumstances
that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect any key assumptions.
Notes to the Audited Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition, page F-21
4.We note that the majority of your revenue is recognized over time as work progresses,
and for single performance obligations, you use an input measure, the cost-to-cost
method, to determine progress. We also note that you review and update the contract-
related estimates on an ongoing basis and recognize adjustments for any project
specific facts and circumstances that could impact the measurement of the extent of
progress such as the total costs to complete the contracts, under the cumulative catch-
up method. Please tell us and quantify in the notes to your financial statements in
annual and quarterly reports the aggregate amount and related earnings per share
impact of changes in contract estimates for each period presented. Refer to ASC 250-
10-50-4 and 270-10-45-14 for guidance. Please also revise your results of operations
disclosure in MD&A to separately quantify gross favorable and gross unfavorable
changes in estimates material to either consolidated or segment results, accompanied
by an appropriate level of analysis. Please provide us with your intended revised
disclosure.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
