Description of business and organization of Nextracker Inc.
Nextracker Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Nextracker”, “we”, the “Company”) is a leading provider of intelligent, integrated solar tracker and software solutions used in utility-scale and distributed generation solar projects around the world. Nextracker’s products enable solar panels in utility-scale power plants to follow the sun’s movement across the sky and optimize plant performance. Nextracker has operations in the United States, Mexico, Spain and other countries in Europe, India, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and Brazil.
Prior to the completion of the Transactions, as described
in Note 6, and the Initial Public Offering as described below, we operated as part of Flex Ltd. (“Flex” or “Parent”) and not as a standalone entity. On December 19 ,2022, Nextracker Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation which is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Yuma, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex Ltd. Nextracker Inc. was formed for the purpose of completing the initial public offering of its Class A common stock (the “IPO”) and other related Transactions, in order to carry on the business of Nextracker LLC.
The consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the Transactions have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Flex. See Note 2 for basis of presentation details.
The Initial Public Offering
On February 8, 2023, the Company’s registration statement on Form
S-1
relating to its IPO was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the shares of its Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 9, 2023. The IPO closed on February 13, 2023, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold
30,590,000
shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $
24.00
per share, giving effect to the exercise in full of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. The Company received net proceeds of $
693.8
 million, after deducting $
40.4
 million in underwriting discounts. Upon closing of the IPO, approximately $
8.3
 million of offering costs were paid by Flex and the Company netted the previously capitalized offering costs ($
7.9
 million as of December 31, 2022) against the net parent investment. See further di

Summary of accounting policies

Summary of accounting policies
Variable interest entities (“VIE”) and consolidation
Subsequent to the IPO, the Company’s sole material asset is its member’s interest in Nextracker LLC. In accordance with the Nextrac
ker LLC Operating Agreement, the Company was named the managing member of Nextracker LLC. As a result, the Company has all management powers over the business and affairs of Nextracker LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of Nextracker LLC. Class A common stock issued in the IPO do not hold majority voting rights but hold
100
% of the economic interest in the Company, which results in Nextracker LLC being considered a VIE. Due to the Company’s power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of Nextracker LLC, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, beginning with the IPO, the Company consolidates the financial results of Nextracker LLC and its subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation
Throughout the period preceding the Transactions (as described in Note 6), Nextracker did not operate as a separate entity and stand-alone separate historical financial statements for Nextracker were not prepared. The financial statements for the period preceding the Transactions were derived from Flex’s historical accounting records and were presented on a
carve-out
basis.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which reflect any changes that have occurred in Nextracker’s financing and operations as a result of the IPO, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting financial information.
Further, the results stated herein may not be indicative of what Nextracker’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows might be now that Nextracker operates as a separate, stand-alone company since the IPO.
For the period preceding the IPO and Transactions, the consolidated financial statements include all revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities directly attributable to Nextracker. Where it was possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of Nextracker, these amounts were charged or credited directly to Nextracker without allocation or apportionment. The consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, for the period preceding the IPO and Transactions, also include allocations of certain costs from Flex incurred on Nextracker’s behalf. Such corporate-level costs were allocated to Nextracker using methods based on proportionate formulas such as revenue and headcount, among others. Such corporate-level costs included costs pertaining to accounting and finance, legal, human resources, information technology, insurance, tax services, and other costs. Such costs may not have represented the amounts that would have been incurred had Nextracker operated autonomously or independently from Flex during the period preceding the IPO. Management considered the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these costs may not be indicative of what Nextracker may incur in the future. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, Nextracker entered into a Transition Service Agreement (“TSA”) with Flex, whereby Flex agreed to provide or cause to be provided certain services to Nextracker which were previously included as part of the allocations from Flex. As consideration, Nextracker agreed to pay Flex the amount specified for each service as described in the TSA.
All intracompany transactions and accounts within Nextracker have been eliminated. All significant transactions between Nextracker and Flex that were not cash settled as of the IPO date have been included in the consolidated balance sheets within accumulated net parent investment, for the period preceding the IPO, and reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity, during the same period, as these are deemed to be internal financing transactions.
In connection with the Parent’s acquisition of Nextracker and BrightBox in 2015 and 2016, respectively, Flex applied pushdown accounting to separate financial statements of acquired entities in accordance with ASC 805. The application of pushdown accounting impacted goodwill and intangible assets (see Note 4).
Cash and bank borrowings included in the consolidated balance sheets reflects cash that is controlled by Nextracker. Flex’s debt was not allocated to Nextracker for any of the periods presented because these debts were not specifically identifiable to Nextracker. See Note 9 for description of bank borrowings and long-term debts that are specific to Nextracker.
The balance of the redeemable
non-controlling
interests is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable
non-controlling
interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated maximum redemption amount. The resulting changes in the estimated maximum redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional
paid-in-capital.
These interests are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity under the caption “Redeemable
non-controlling
interests.”
 
Flex historically maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. Starting in fiscal year 2023 Nextracker is granting equity compensation awards to its employees under the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextracker LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Nextracker Plan”). Nextracker employees participate in those plans and a portion of the cost of those plans is included in Nextracker’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 7
for
a further description of the accounting for stock-based compensation.
Reverse unit split of the LLC
In January 2023 the Board of Managers and the members of the LLC approved a
1-for-2.1
reverse unit split of the units authorized and outstanding, which was effected on January 30, 2023. All unit and per unit data shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes has been retroactively revised to give effect to this reverse unit split for all periods presented. Units underlying authorized and outstanding equity-based awards were proportionately decreased and the respective per unit value and exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities.
Foreign currency translation
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 interest and other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when realized and were not material for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 doubtful accounts, reserve for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves, contingencies, operation accruals, and fair values of stock options and restricted share unit awards granted under stock-based compensation plans. Due to the long-term economic effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the
COVID-19
pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences maybe material to the 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 consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. In applying ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of solar tracker systems, parts, extended warranties on solar tracker systems components and software licenses along with associated maintenance and support. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price;
(iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) Nextracker satisfies a performance obligation. In assessing the recognition of revenue, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. Further, the Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time or over time.
The Company’s contracts for specific solar tracker system projects with customers are predominantly accounted for as one performance obligation
because the customer is purchasing an integrated service, which includes Nextracker’s overall management of the solar tracker system project and oversight through the installation process to ensure a functioning system is commissioned at the customer’s location. The Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs under the contract, which is principally as tracker system components are delivered to the designated project site. Although the Company sources the component parts from third party manufacturers, it obtains control and receives title of such parts before transferring them to the customer because Nextracker is primarily responsible for fulfillment to its customer. The Company’s engineering services and professional services are interdependent with the component parts whereby the parts form an input into a combined output for which it is the principal, and Nextracker could redirect the parts before they are transferred to the customer if needed. The customer owns the
work-in-process
over the course of the project and Nextracker’s performance enhances a customer-controlled asset, resulting in the recognition of the performance obligation over time. The measure of progress is estimated using an input method based on costs incurred to date on the project as a percentage of total expected costs to be incurred. The costs of materials and hardware components are recognized as incurred, which is typically upon delivery to the customer site or upon transfer of control while in transit. As such, the cost-based input measure is considered the best measure of progress in depicting the Company’s performance in completing a tracker system.
Contracts with customers that result in multiple performance obligations include contracts for the sale of components, solar tracker system project contracts with an extended warranty, and contracts for the sale of software solutions.
For contracts related to sale of components, Nextracker’s obligation to the customer is to deliver components that are used by the customer to create a tracker system and does not include engineering or other professional services or the obligation to provide such services in the future. Each component is a distinct performance obligation, and often the components are delivered in batches at different points in time. Nextracker estimates the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance obligation based on a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to a component is recognized at the point in time that control of the component transfers to the customer.
At times, a customer will purchase a service-type warranty with a tracker system project. Nextracker uses a cost plus margin methodology to determine the SSP for both the tracker system project and the extended warranty. The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized over time based on the period over which control transfers. The Company recognizes revenue allocated to the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the contractual service period,
which is generally
10
to
15
years. This period starts once the standard workmanship warranty expires, which is generally 5 to 10 years from the date control of the underlying tracker system components is transferred to the customer. To date, revenues recognized related to extended warranty were not
 
material.
Nextracker generates revenues from sales of software licenses of its TrueCapture and NX Navigator offerings, which are often sold separately from the tracker system. Software licenses are generally sold with maintenance
 
 
services, which
include ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes and support. The software license and the maintenance services are separate performance obligations. Nextracker estimates the SSP of the software license using an adjusted market approach and estimates the SSP of the maintenance service using a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to the software license is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the software license, and revenue allocated to the maintenance service is generally recognized over time on a straight-line basis during the maintenance term. Revenues related to sales of software licenses were not material and were approximately
 
1
%,
2
% and
1
% of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Contract estimates
Accounting for contracts for which revenue is recognized over time requires Nextracker to estimate the expected margin that will be earned on the project. These estimates include assumptions on labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, and the cost and availability of materials including variable freight costs. Nextracker reviews and updates its contract-related estimates each reporting period and recognizes changes in estimates on contracts under the cumulative
catch-up
method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, Nextracker recognizes the total loss in the period it is identified.
Contract balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the consolidated balance sheets. Nextracker’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. When billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, a contract asset results. Contract assets of $298.0 million and $292.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, of which $116.3 million and $86.5 million, respectively, will be invoiced at the end of the projects as they represent funds withheld until the products are installed by a third party, arranged by the customer, and the project is declared operational. The remaining unbilled receivables will be invoiced throughout the project based on a set billing schedule such as milestones reached or completed rows delivered.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Nextracker converted $74.9 million and $71.7 million deferred revenue to revenue, respectively, which represented 70% and 78%, respectively, of the beginning period balance of deferred revenue.
Remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2023, Nextracker had $212.3 million of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 83% of these performance obligations in the next 12 months. The remaining long-term unperformed obligation primarily relates to extended warranty and deposits collected in advance on certain tracker
projects.
Practical expedients and exemptions
Nextracker has elected to adopt certain practical expedients and exemptions as allowed under ASC 606, such as (i) recording sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year, (ii) not
 
 
adjusting for the effects of significant financing components when the contract term is less than one year, (iii) excluding collected sales tax amounts from the calculation of revenue and (iv) accounting for the costs of shipping and handling activities that are incurred after the customer obtains control of the product as fulfillment costs rather than a separate service provided to the customer for which consideration would need to be allocated.
Fair value
The fair values of Nextracker’s cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, derivative instruments, and cash and cash equivalents.
Customer credit risk
Nextracker has an established customer credit policy, through which it manages customer credit exposures through credit evaluations, credit limit setting, monitoring and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. Nextracker performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. Nextracker evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent Nextracker identifies exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, Nextracker also reviews other customer related exposures, including but not limited to contract assets, inventory and related contractual obligations.

Charges incurred during fiscal year 2021 are primarily for costs and expenses related to various distressed customers.
One customer accounted for greater than 10% of revenue in fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, with revenue of approximately $331.0 million, $196.2 million, and $230.3 million, respectively, and greater than
10
% of the total balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, with balances of approximately 15% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, one customer accounted for greater than 10% of the total balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets as of March 31, 2023 with balances of approximately 14%.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance
Nextracker’s accounts receivable are due primarily from solar contractors across the United States and internationally. Credit is extended in the normal course of business based on evaluation of a customer’s financial
 
 
condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts receivable and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of the allowance for doubtful accounts, Nextracker makes judgments regarding the customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial conditions of Nextracker’s customers change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. When deemed uncollectible, the receivable is charged against the allowance.
Product warranty
Nextracker offers an assurance type warranty for its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period ranging from five 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 our 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.

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company identified a specific design issue with a
non-core
product, and recorded an additional $8.7 million charge to cost of sales on its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, related to future remediation costs, which may include replacement parts and services.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a
first-in,
first-out
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.
 
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, with the exception of building leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the term of the lease, if shorter. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is comprised of the following:

Total depreciation expense associated with property and equipment was approximately $3.4 million, $2.7 million, and $1.8 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Nextracker reviews property and equipment for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is determined by comparing the carrying amount to the lowest level of identifiable projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of property and equipment exceeds the fair value. Management determined there was no impairment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Deferred income taxes
For purposes of these consolidated financial statements, prior to the IPO, Nextracker taxes are calculated on a stand-alone basis as if Nextracker completed separate tax returns apart from its Parent (“Separate-return Method”). Following the IPO, Nextracker Inc. will file a separate tax return. The income taxes as presented herein for the
pre-IPO
period, allocate current and deferred income taxes of Flex to Nextracker, in a manner that Nextracker believes as systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740. Accordingly, as stated in paragraph 30 of ASC 740, total amounts allocated to Nextracker may not be indicative of Nextracker’s condition had Nextracker been a separate stand-alone entity during the
pre-IPO
periods presented.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is most likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment. Prior
 
to the IPO, for domestic entities, the settlement of tax obligations is assumed in the period incurred and included in net parent investment, whereas the settlement of certain historical foreign tax obligations is reflected in tax payables or receivables given that certain foreign entities have filed separately. Other foreign entities have not historically filed separately and therefore the settlement of their tax obligations is included in net parent investment. Any incremental foreign tax expense calculated on a stand-alone basis is recorded in net parent investment. Subsequent to the IPO, Nextracker Inc. is filing as a separate entity and income tax will be reported to payables and receivables for both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
Income taxes
We operate in numerous states and countries and must allocate our income, expenses, and earnings under the various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, our provision for income taxes represents our total estimate of the liability for income taxes that we have incurred in doing business each year in all our locations. Annually, we file tax returns that represent our filing positions with each jurisdiction and settle our tax return liabilities. Each jurisdiction has the right to audit those tax returns and may take different positions with respect to income and expense allocations and taxable earnings determinations. Because the determination of our annual income tax provision is subject to judgments and estimates, actual results may vary from those recorded in our financial statements. We recognize additions to and reductions in income tax expense during a reporting period that pertains to prior period provisions as our estimated liabilities are revised and our actual tax returns and tax audits are completed.
Our management is required to exercise judgment in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance that might be required against deferred tax assets. For further details on our income taxes, refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Tax receivable agreement
The Company has recorded a liability of
$230.3 million as of March 31,
2023, which is included in other liability on the consolidated balance sheets, representing
 
85
% of the estimated future tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). In U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize or are deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes, will be available to us as a result of certain transactions contemplated in connection with our IPO, exchanges of Class A common stock or cash and payments made under the TRA. The actual amount and timing of any payments under these agreements, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including, among others, the timing of redemptions or exchanges by members of Nextracker LLC, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemptions or exchanges, the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the tax receivable agreements constituting imputed interest. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, we consider our historical results as well as assumptions related to future forecasts for our various businesses by location. The impact of any changes in the total projected obligations recorded under the tax receivable agreements as a result of actual changes in the geographic mix of our earnings, changes in tax legislation and tax rates or other factors that may impact our actual tax savings realized will be reflected in income before taxes in the period in which the change occurs.
Goodwill and other intangibles assets
In accordance with accounting standards related to business combinations, goodwill is not amortized; however, certain finite-lived identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and acquired technology, are
 
 
amortized over their estimated useful lives. Nextracker reviews identified intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Nextracker also tests goodwill at least annually for impairment. Refer to Note 5 for additional information about goodwill and other intangible assets.

Other current assets
Other current assets include short-term deposits and advances of $29.3 million and $9.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily related to advance payments to certain vendors for procurement of inventory. Additionally, other current assets include $22.3 million as of March 31, 2022, for an estimated insurance recovery related to a certain litigation settlement as further described in
Note 12.
Deferred tax assets and other assets
Includes the deferred tax assets of
$257.1 million
as of March 31, 2023, primarily related to the Comapny’s investment in Nextracker LLC as further described in Note 13.
Accrued expenses
Accrued expenses include accruals primarily for freight and tariffs of $44.6 million and $20.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, it includes $15.2 million and $5.5 million accrued payroll as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
TRA liability and other liabilities
TRA liability and other liabilities primarily include the liability of $230.3 million as of March 31, 2023, related to the expected amount to be paid to Yuma, Yuma sub, TPG and the TPG affiliates as further described in Note 13. Additionally, the balance includes the
long-term portion of standard product warranty liabilities of $11.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively, and the long-term portion of deferred revenue of $35.8 million and $29.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Redeemable preferred units
On February 1, 2022, the LLC issued redeemable preferred units designated as “Series A Preferred Units,” representing a 16.67% interest in the LLC, to Flex in exchange for the cancellation of a portion of the LLC’s previously issued and outstanding common units. Flex sold all of LLC’s Series A Preferred Units to TPG Rise Flash, L.P. (“TPG Rise”), an affiliate of the private equity firm TPG (“TPG”) on the same day. The holder of the Series A Preferred Units was entitled to cumulative
paid-in-kind
or cash dividends and
h
ad
 the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Units or convert the Series A Preferred Units upon certain conditions. Because the redemption or conversion conditions were outside of the control of the Company, the Company classified the Series A Preferred Units as temporary equity on the balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.
Redeemable
non-controlling
interests
Post IPO, the balance of the redeemable
non-controlling
interests is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable
non-controlling
interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated maximum redemption amount. The resulting changes in the estimated maximum redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments
 
against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional
paid-in-capital.
These interests are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity under the caption “Redeemable
non-controlling
interests.”

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic
718-10,
“Compensation-Stock Compensation.” The Company records stock-based compensation costs related to its incentive awards. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation cost for time-based awards is recognized ratably over the applicable vesting period. Compensation cost for performance-based awards with a performance condition is reassessed each period and recognized based upon the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. The performance-based awards with a performance condition are expensed when the achievement of performance conditions are probable. The total expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those awards that ultimately vest and forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.
Leases
Nextracker is a lessee with several
non-cancellable
operating leases, primarily for warehouses, buildings, and other assets such as vehicles and equipment. Nextracker determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A contract is a lease or contains a lease when (i) there is an identified asset, and (ii) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. Nextracker recognizes a
right-of-use
(“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for Nextracker’s operating leases. For operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Nextracker has elected the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption for all classes of assets, which allows Nextracker to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and with no purchase option Nextracker is reasonably certain of exercising. Nextracker has also elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and
non-lease
components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed considerations in the contract. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: fixed payments (including
in-substance
fixed payments) and variable payments that depend on an index or rate (initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date). As Nextracker cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease for its leases, Nextracker uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
 
The estimated incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The lease term for all of Nextracker’s leases includes the
non-cancellable
period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that Nextracker is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.
 
As
of March 31, 2023 and 2022, current operating lease liabilities were $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and long-term lease liabilities were $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 for additional information about Leases.
Recently issued accounting pronouncement
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU
2022-06
“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which defers the sunset date of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASC 848 provides relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates, such as LIBOR. Entities that apply ASC 848 can continue to do so until December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the guidance during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 with an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill relates to the 2015 acquisition of Nextracker and the 2016 acquisition of BrightBox by Flex on behalf of Nextracker. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, goodwill totaled $265.2 million, respectively and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Other intangible assets
Nextracker amortizes identifiable intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names because these assets have finite lives. Nextracker’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-
 
line basis over the estimated useful lives. The basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized over their estimated useful lives. No residual value is estimated for any intangible assets. The fair value of Nextracker’s intangible assets is determined based on management’s estimates of cash flows and recoverability.
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. Nextracker reviewed the carrying value of its intangible assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and concluded that such amounts continued to be recoverable.

The Transactions
Nextracker Inc. and the Company completed the following reorganization and other transactions in connection with the IPO (collectively, referred to as the “Transactions”):
 
 
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, Nextracker Inc. issued 128,794,522 shares of its Class B common stock to Yuma, Yuma Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuma (“Yuma Sub”), and TPG Rise in exchange for cash consideration, which number of shares was equal to the number of common units of the LLC held directly or indirectly by Yuma, Yuma Sub and TPG Rise (not inclusive of those held by affiliated blocker corporations – see below) immediately following the Transactions and before giving effect to the IPO.
 
 
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO and as permitted under and in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the LLC in effect prior to the IPO (the “Prior LLC Agreement”), TPG Rise exercised its right to have certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG Rise each merge with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker Inc., with the blocker corporations surviving each such merger, in a transaction intended to qualify as a
tax-free
transaction. In connection with such blocker corporations’ mergers, the investors in each such blocker corporation received a number of shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class A common stock with a value based on the Series A Preferred Units held by such blocker corporation for a total of 15,279,190 shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class A common stock. For additional detail refer to the below section “Redeemable preferred units
.
 
 
Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the LLC made a distribution in an aggregate amount of $175.0 million (the “Distribution”). With respect to such Distribution, $21.7 million was distributed to TPG Rise and $153.3 million to Yuma and Yuma Sub in accordance with their pro rata LLC units. The Distribution was financed, in part, with net proceeds from the $150.0 million term loan under the 2023 Credit Agreement, as further discussed in Note 9.
 
 
Nextracker Inc. used all the net proceeds from the IPO ($693.8 million) as consideration for Yuma’s transfer to Nextracker Inc. of 30,590,000 LLC common units at a price per unit equal to $22.68.
 
 
In connection with Yuma’s transfer to Nextracker Inc. of 30,590,000 LLC common units, a corresponding number of shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class B common stock held by Yuma were canceled.
 
 
In connection with the IPO, Nextracker Inc.’s repurchased all 100 shares of common stock previously issued to Yuma for an immaterial amount.
On
February 8, 2023, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, authorize 900,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class A common stock, 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class B common stock, and 50,000,000 shares of par value $0.0001 preferred stock.
On February 13, 2023, the members of the LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the LLC to, among other things, effect the Transactions described above and to appoint Nextracker Inc. as the managing member of the LLC. Nextracker Inc. beneficially owns 45,886,065 LLC common Units after the completion of the IPO and the Transactions and as of March 31, 2023.
Exchange Agreement
Nextracker Inc., the LLC, Yuma, Yuma Sub and TPG entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) under which Yuma, Yuma Sub and TPG (or certain permitted transferees thereof) have the right,
 
 
subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, to require the LLC to exchange LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock of Nextracker Inc. on a basis, or, in the alternative, Nextracker Inc. may elect to exchange such LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Nextracker Inc. Class B common stock) for cash equal to the product of (i) the number of LLC common units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) being exchanged, (ii) the then-applicable exchange rate under the Exchange Agreement (which will initially be one and is subject to adjustment) and (iii) the Class A common stock value (based on the market price of our Class A common stock), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and other similar transactions; provided further, that in the event of an exchange request by an exchanging holder, Nextracker Inc. may at its option effect a direct exchange of shares of Class A common stock for LLC common units and shares of Class B common stock in lieu of such exchange or make a cash payment to such exchanging holder, in each case pursuant to the same economic terms applicable to an exchange between the exchanging holder and the LLC. As the LLC interests are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Company, such interests are presented in temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable preferred units
On February 1, 2022, the LLC issued redeemable preferred units designated as “Series A Preferred Units,” representing a 16.67% interest in the LLC, to Flex in exchange for the cancellation of a portion of the LLC’s previously issued and outstanding common units. Flex sold all of LLC’s Series A Preferred Units to TPG Rise on the same day. The holder of the Series A Preferred Units was entitled to cumulative
paid-in-kind
or cash dividends and had the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Units or convert the Series A Preferred Units upon certain conditions. Because the redemption or conversion conditions were outside of the control of the Company, the Company classified the Series A Preferred Units as temporary equity on the consolidated balance
sheets.    
The Series A Preferred Units had a dividend rate of 5% per annum, payable semi-annually, up to 100% of which (less an amount necessary to the holder of the Series A Preferred Units’ tax obligations) may be payable in kind during the first two years following the issuance date, and 50% of which may be payable in kind thereafter. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Nextracker recorded a $21.4 million and a $4.0 million dividend to be paid in kind, respectively. The Series A Preferred Units had rights to vote together with the common units of the LLC as a single class in all matters that were subject to a vote by common
unitholders.
At
 
TPG Rise’s election, Flex was required to repurchase all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units at their liquidation preference, which included all contributed but unreturned capital plus accrued but unpaid dividends, at the earlier of certain change in control events and February 1, 2028. Additionally, if Nextracker had not completed a Qualified Public Offering prior to February 1, 2027, then TPG Rise had the option to cause Flex to repurchase all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units at their fair market value.
In connection with any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Nextracker, each outstanding Series A Preferred Unit was entitled to receive cash equal to the liquidation preference prior to distributions made to any other units.
In April 2022, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (“A&R LLC Agreement”) dated as of February 1, 2022. Such amendment provided for, among other things, an increase in the total number of Series A Preferred Units issued with a proportionate reduction in the Series A issue price, such that the ownership percentage of TPG remained unchanged at 16.67%. As a result of the amendment, the number of series A redeemable preferred units issued and outstanding was increased to 23,809,524.
 
 
In connection with the IPO, the Series A Preferred Units held by TPG Rise were automatically converted into 25,026,093 of LLC common Units which are exchangeable, together with a corresponding number of shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class B common stock, for shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class A common stock (or cash). Notwithstanding the foregoing, as permitted under and in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the LLC in effect prior to the IPO (the “Prior LLC Agreement”), on February 8, 2023, TPG Rise exercised its right to have certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG Rise each merge with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker Inc., with the blocker corporations surviving each such merger, in a transaction intended to qualify as a
tax-free
transaction. In connection with such blocker corporation mergers, the investors in each such blocker corporation received a number of shares of Nextracker Inc.’s Class A common stock with a value based on the Series A Preferred Units held by such blocker corporation for a total of 15,279,190
shares of Nextracker Inc.’s of Class A common stock.

Stock-based compensation
The Company adopted the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextracker LLC Equity Incentive Plan in April 2022 (the “LLC Plan”), which provides for the issuance of options, unit appreciation rights, performance units, performance incentive units, restricted incentive units and other unit-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Additionally, in connection with the IPO in February 2023, the Company approved the Second Amended and Restated 2022 Nextracker Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “NI Plan,” and collectively with the LLC Plan, the “2022 Plan”) to reflect, among other things, that the underlying equity interests with respect to awards issued under the LLC Plan shall, in lieu of common units of Nextracker LLC, relate to Class A common stock of Nextracker for periods from and after the closing of the IPO.
The 2022 Plan is administered by the Board or such other committee appointed by the Board. Awards granted under the 2022 Plan expire no more than
10 years from the grant date. The 2022 Plan authorized the grant of 12.9 million equity-based awards. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 7.4 million equity-based awards available for grant under the 2022 Plan.
During fiscal year 2023, the Company granted the following three types of equity-based compensation awards to its employees under the 2022 Plan:
 
 
 
Restricted incentive unit awards
(“RSU”), whereby vesting is generally contingent upon time-based vesting with continued service over a three-year period from the grant date (with a portion of the awards vesting at the end of each year within such period), and the occurrence of an IPO or a sale of the Company.
 
   
Options awards,
whereby vesting is generally contingent upon (i) time-based vesting with continued service through March 31, 2026, (ii) the occurrence of an IPO or a sale of the Company, and (iii) upon the growth of the equity valuation of the Company in the
four-year
period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2026 (the “Options Performance Period”), which could result in a range of
0-100%
 of such Options awards ultimately vesting; and 
 
   
Performance based vesting awards
(“PSU
s
”) whereby vesting is generally contingent upon (i) time-based vesting with continued service

through April 6, 2025
, (ii) the occurrence of an IPO or a sale of the Company, and (iii) the achievement of certain metrics specific to Nextracker measured
for eac
h of the
three
fiscal year
s
from
fiscal year 20
23 to fiscal year 2025
 (the “PSU Performance Period”), which could result in a range of
 0-200
% of such PSUs ultimately vesting. The performance-based metrics for the second and
 
third tranches of the PSUs (
512,663
PSUs) were not yet determined as of March 31, 2023, and therefore only the first tranche of PSUs (
219,713
 PSUs
) has met the criteria for a grant date under ASC 718 as of March 31, 2023. 
 
On the date any performance-based vesting requirement is satisfied, the award holder will become vested in the number of awards that have satisfied the time-based vesting requirement, if any.
In addition to the 2022 Plan, certain executives, officers and employees of the Company also participate in the Flex 2017 equity incentive plan (the “Flex 2017 Plan”), and as such, stock-based compensation expense for the period presented also include expense recognized under the Flex 2017
Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense includes an allocation of Flex’s corporate and shared functional employee expense of immaterial amounts for the fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021. These charges were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cumulative expense upon IPO and modification of awards
In connection with the IPO and the approval of the NI Plan, all awards previously issued under the LLC Plan were determined to be modified. The modification of the awards granted under the LLC Plan,
pre-IPO,
were concluded to qualify as a Type I
probable-to-probable
modification (in accordance with ASC
718-20-55),
which resulted in an increase in the total fair value of such awards of $12.3 million, with the Company recording an immaterial amount of incremental stock-based compensation expense related to such modification during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2023.
Considering
that the vesting of the awards granted under the 2022 Plan was contingent on an IPO, which occurred on February 9, 2023, the Company recognized $23.3 million of cumulative stock-based compensation expense for all awards outstanding under the 2022 Plan as of that date.
As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards under the 2022 Plan and the related remaining weighted average period for expensing is summarized as follow:

Determining fair value — RSU awards
Valuation and Amortization Method -
The valuation of RSUs granted under the 2022 Plan, during fiscal year 2023 (prior to the IPO) was determined in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of
 
Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, “Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.” Application of these approaches involves the use of estimates, judgment and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue and EBITDA, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies and the probability of possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock.
Determining fair value — Options and PSU awards
Valuation and Amortization Method -
The Company estimated the fair value of options awards and PSU awards granted under the 2022 Plan using Monte-Carlo simulation models which is a probabilistic approach for calculating the fair value of the awards.
Expected volatility -
Volatility used in a Monte Carlo simulation is derived from the historical volatility of Nextracker’s Peer Group. The service period of options and RSU awards granted in fiscal year 2023 is four year and three years, respectively.
Risk-Free Rate assumptions
- The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Monte Carlo simulation based on the continuously compounded risk-free rate in the Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the drift rate of the Company and peer group stock prices. The risk-free rate of return was calculated using the U.S. Treasury daily yield curve.
The fair value of the Company’s awards granted under the 2022 Plan was estimated based on the following assumptions:

The Flex 2017 equity incentive plan (the “Flex 2017 Plan”)
All options under the Flex 2017 Plan have been fully expensed and none were outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2023.
The executives, officers and employees of Flex, including Nextracker, were granted RSU awards under the Flex 2017 Plan. RSU awards are rights to acquire a specified number of ordinary Flex shares for no cash consideration in exchange for continued service with Flex. RSU awards generally vest in installments over a
two
to four-year period and unvested RSU awards are forfeited upon termination of employment. Vesting for certain RSU awards is contingent upon service and market conditions, or service and performance conditions.
As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU awards held by Nextracker employees was approximately $2.0 million under the Flex 2017 Plan. These costs will be amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately one year
.
There
were no options and no RSU awards granted under the Flex 2017 Plan during fiscal year 2023.
An immaterial amount of unvested RSU awards are outstanding under the Flex 2017 Plan as of March 31, 2023, some of which represent the target amount of grants made to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market
conditions.

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders of the Company, since February 9, 2023, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common
s
tock outstanding during the same period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from stock-based compensation awards. The potential dilution from awards was computed using the treasury stock method based on the average fair market value of the Company’s common stock for the period. Additionally, the potential dilution impact of Class B common stock convertible into Class A was also considered in the
calculation.

Bank borrowings and long-term debt
On February 13, 2023, the Company and the LLC, as the borrower, entered into a senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) comprised of (i) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the “Term Loan”), and (ii) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million (the “RCF”). The LLC borrowed the Term Loan, and used the proceeds to finance, in part, the Distribution of $175.0 million to Flex (through Yuma and Yuma Subsidiary, Inc.,) and TPG Rise, as further described in
Note 6.

As
of March 31, 2023, the Company had $147.1 million outstanding under the term loan, net of issuance costs, which is included in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
The RCF is available in U.S. dollars, euros and such currencies as mutually agreed on a revolving basis during the five-year period through February 11, 2028 and is available to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes. A portion of the RCF not to exceed $300.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. A portion of the RCF not to exceed $50.0 million is available for swing line loans. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the LLC will be permitted to incur incremental term loan facilities or increase the RCF commitment in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100.0 million plus an additional amount such that the secured net leverage ratio or total net leverage ratio, as applicable, is equal to or less than a specified threshold after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence.
The obligations of the LLC under the 2023 Credit Agreement and related loan documents are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company, certain other holding companies (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and, subject to certain exclusions, certain of the LLC’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
 
As of the closing of the 2023 Credit Agreement, all obligations of the LLC and the guarantors are secured by certain equity pledges by the LLC and the Guarantors. However, if the LLC’s total net leverage ratio exceeds a specified threshold, the collateral will include substantially all of the assets of the LLC and the Guarantors and, if the LLC meets certain investment grade conditions, such lien will be released.
The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments beginning on June 30, 2024 in an amount equal to 0.625% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. From June 30, 2025, the quarterly principal payment will increase to 1.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. The remaining balance of the Term Loan and the outstanding balance of any RCF loans will be repayable on February 11, 2028. Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement are prepayable and commitments subject to being reduced in each case at the LLC’s option without premium or penalty. The 2023 Credit Agreement contains certain mandatory prepayment provisions in the event that the LLC or its restricted subsidiaries incur certain types of indebtedness or, subject to certain reinvestment rights, receive net cash proceeds from certain asset sales or other dispositions of property.
Borrowings in U.S. dollars under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate based on either (a) a term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”)-based formula (including a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points) plus a margin of 162.5 basis points to 200 basis points, depending on the LLC’s total net leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate formula plus a margin of 62.5 basis point to 100 basis points, depending on the LLC’s total net leverage ratio. Borrowings under the RCF in euros will bear interest based on the adjusted EURIBOR rate plus a margin of 162.5 basis points to 200 basis points, depending on the LLC’s total net leverage ratio. The LLC will also be required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the RCF commitments of 20 basis points to 35 basis points, depending on the LLC’s total net leverage ratio. The interest rate for the Term Loan is 6.82% (SOFR rate of 4.97% plus a margin of 1.85%) as of March 31, 2023.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the LLC and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, change their fiscal year or lines of business, pay dividends and other restricted payments, make investments and other acquisitions, make optional payments of subordinated and junior lien debt, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into restrictive agreements. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement requires the LLC to maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage
ratio.
The term loan which is categorized as Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, bears interest at the applicable SOFR rate as of disbursement date, plus a spread based on certain financial metrics for the last twelve-month period and therefore the carrying amount approximate the fair value as of March 31, 2023. The effective interest rate for the Company’s long-term debt was
6.90% for fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Scheduled repayments of the Company’s bank borrowings and long-term debt are as follows:

Relationship with parent and related parties
Prior to the IPO, Nextracker was managed and operated in the normal course of business by Flex. Accordingly, certain shared costs were allocated to Nextracker and reflected as expenses in these consolidated financial statements. Nextracker’s management and the management of Flex considered the expenses included and the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the historical Flex expenses attributable to Nextracker for purposes of the stand-alone financial statements up until the IPO. However, the expenses reflected in these consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred by Nextracker during the periods presented if Nextracker historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during such period, which expenses would have depended on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. In addition, the expenses reflected in the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that Nextracker will incur in the future.

Allocation of corporate expenses
The consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the IPO, include expense allocations for certain functions provided by Flex, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated to Nextracker based on direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measure.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Nextracker was allocated, $5.2 million, $13.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of general corporate expenses incurred by Flex. Of these expenses $3.4 million, $9.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively, are included within selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.8 million, $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Risk management
Flex carries insurance for property, casualty, product liability matters, auto liability, and workers’ compensation and maintain excess policies to provide additional limits. Prior to the IPO, Nextracker paid a premium to Flex in
 
exchange for the coverage provided. In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the policies with significant premiums included the Marine Cargo/Goods in Transit and the multiple Errors and Omissions policies all through various insurance providers. Expenses related to coverage provided through Flex were not significant and are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for all periods presented.
Cash management and financing
Prior to the IPO, Nextracker participated in Flex’s centralized cash management programs. Disbursements were independently managed by Nextracker.
All significant transactions between Nextracker and Flex that have not been historically cash settled have been reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows, for the period prior to the IPO, as net transfers to parent as these are deemed to be internal financing transactions. All intra-company accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated. The following is a summary of material transactions reflected in the accumulated net parent investment during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021

The cash balance reflected in the consolidated balance sheets consist of the cash managed and controlled by Nextracker. Prior to the IPO when Nextracker was a controlled entity of Flex, Nextracker’s U.S. operations continued to participate in the Flex cash pooling management programs intra-quarter; all outstanding positions were settled or scheduled for settlement as of each quarter end. Cash pooling activities during the period prior to the IPO were reflected under net transfers from Parent in the consolidated statements of redeemable interest and stockholders’ deficit / parent company equity (deficit) and the consolidated statements of cash flows. Subsequent to the IPO, Nextracker has the optionality to participate in the Flex cash pooling management programs.
Due to related parties relates to balances resulting from transactions between Nextracker and Flex subsidiaries that have historically been cash settled. Nextracker purchased certain components and services from other Flex affiliates of $67.1 million, $47.7 million and $60.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the period prior to the IPO, Flex also administered on behalf of Nextracker payments to certain freight providers as well as payrolls to certain employees based in the U.S. Nextracker’s average due to related parties balance was $37.5 million, $36.5 million and $24.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022
and
 
2021
, respectively. All related cash flow activities are under net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Distribution
Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the LLC made the Distribution of $175.0 million. With respect to such Distribution, $21.7 million was distributed to TPG Rise and $153.3 million to Yuma and Yuma Sub in accordance with their pro rata LLC units. The Distribution was financed, in part, with net proceeds from the $150.0 million term loan under the 2023 Credit Agreement, as further discussed in Note 9.
Umbrella agreement
In February 2023, Nextracker Brasil Ltda., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker Inc., and Flextronics International Technologia Ltda., an affiliate of Flex, entered into an umbrella agreement (the “Umbrella Agreement”) that governs the terms, conditions and obligations of a strategic commercial relationship between Nextracker Inc. and Flex for the sale of the Company’s solar trackers in Brazil. The Umbrella Agreement is renewable automatically for successive
one-year
periods, unless a party provides written notice to the other parties that such party does not intend to renew within at least ninety days prior to the end of any term.

Litigation and other legal matters
In connection with the matters described below, Nextracker has accrued for a loss contingency to the extent it believes that losses are probable and estimable. The amounts accrued are not material. Although it is reasonably possible that actual losses could be in excess of Nextracker’s accrual. Any such excess loss could have a material adverse effect on Nextracker’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period or on Nextracker’s financial condition.
On July 15, 2022, the Company settled a case that was brought in January 2017 by Array Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”), in which ATI had alleged that Nextracker and Flex caused a former ATI employee to breach his
non-compete
agreement with ATI by joining Nextracker and made claims of, among other things, fraud, constructive fraud, trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract and related claims. All claims are
fully
 
released
as part of a $
42.8

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth.
 
On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2023, a valuation allowance account of $1.5 million has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is most likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has provided for earnings in foreign subsidiaries that are not considered to be indefinitely reinvested and therefore subject to withholding taxes on $4.9 million of undistributed foreign earnings, recording a deferred tax liability of approximately $0.5 million thereon.

(collectively, the “TPG Affiliates”). The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by Nextracker Inc.to Yuma, Yuma Sub, TPG and the TPG Affiliates (or certain permitted transferees thereof) of 85

pre-existing
tax attributes of certain blocker corporations affiliated with TPG Rise that each merged with a separate direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker Inc., as part of the Transactions, and (iv) certain other tax benefits related to Nextracker Inc. entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
 
As of March 31, 2023, a liability of $
230.3
 
million was recorded for the expected amount to be paid to Yuma, Yuma sub, TPG and the TPG affiliates, which is included in TRA liability and other liability on the consolidated
balance sheets. Separately, a deferred tax asset of $
249.4
 million has been booked reflecting Nextracker’s outside basis difference in Nextracker LLC, which is included in deferred tax assets and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the liability and the deferred tax asset was recorded to additional
paid-in-capital
on the consolidated balance sheets.

Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or a decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Resource allocation decisions and Nextracker’s performance are assessed by its Chief Executive Officer, identified as the CODM.
For all periods presented, Nextracker has one operating and reportable segment. The following table sets forth geographic information of revenue based on the locations to which the products are shipped:

Summary Of Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended

Significant Accounting Policies [Line Items]  
Variable interest entities ("VIE") and consolidation
Variable interest entities (“VIE”) and consolidation
Subsequent to the IPO, the Company’s sole material asset is its member’s interest in Nextracker LLC. In accordance with the Nextrac
ker LLC Operating Agreement, the Company was named the managing member of Nextracker LLC. As a result, the Company has all management powers over the business and affairs of Nextracker LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of Nextracker LLC. Class A common stock issued in the IPO do not hold majority voting rights but hold
100
% of the economic interest in the Company, which results in Nextracker LLC being considered a VIE. Due to the Company’s power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of Nextracker LLC, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, beginning with the IPO, the Company consolidates the financial results of Nextracker LLC and its subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
Throughout the period preceding the Transactions (as described in Note 6), Nextracker did not operate as a separate entity and stand-alone separate historical financial statements for Nextracker were not prepared. The financial statements for the period preceding the Transactions were derived from Flex’s historical accounting records and were presented on a
carve-out
basis.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which reflect any changes that have occurred in Nextracker’s financing and operations as a result of the IPO, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting financial information.
Further, the results stated herein may not be indicative of what Nextracker’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows might be now that Nextracker operates as a separate, stand-alone company since the IPO.
For the period preceding the IPO and Transactions, the consolidated financial statements include all revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities directly attributable to Nextracker. Where it was possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of Nextracker, these amounts were charged or credited directly to Nextracker without allocation or apportionment. The consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, for the period preceding the IPO and Transactions, also include allocations of certain costs from Flex incurred on Nextracker’s behalf. Such corporate-level costs were allocated to Nextracker using methods based on proportionate formulas such as revenue and headcount, among others. Such corporate-level costs included costs pertaining to accounting and finance, legal, human resources, information technology, insurance, tax services, and other costs. Such costs may not have represented the amounts that would have been incurred had Nextracker operated autonomously or independently from Flex during the period preceding the IPO. Management considered the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these costs may not be indicative of what Nextracker may incur in the future. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, Nextracker entered into a Transition Service Agreement (“TSA”) with Flex, whereby Flex agreed to provide or cause to be provided certain services to Nextracker which were previously included as part of the allocations from Flex. As consideration, Nextracker agreed to pay Flex the amount specified for each service as described in the TSA.
All intracompany transactions and accounts within Nextracker have been eliminated. All significant transactions between Nextracker and Flex that were not cash settled as of the IPO date have been included in the consolidated balance sheets within accumulated net parent investment, for the period preceding the IPO, and reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity, during the same period, as these are deemed to be internal financing transactions.
In connection with the Parent’s acquisition of Nextracker and BrightBox in 2015 and 2016, respectively, Flex applied pushdown accounting to separate financial statements of acquired entities in accordance with ASC 805. The application of pushdown accounting impacted goodwill and intangible assets (see Note 4).
Cash and bank borrowings included in the consolidated balance sheets reflects cash that is controlled by Nextracker. Flex’s debt was not allocated to Nextracker for any of the periods presented because these debts were not specifically identifiable to Nextracker. See Note 9 for description of bank borrowings and long-term debts that are specific to Nextracker.
The balance of the redeemable
non-controlling
interests is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable
non-controlling
interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated maximum redemption amount. The resulting changes in the estimated maximum redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional
paid-in-capital.
These interests are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity under the caption “Redeemable
non-controlling
interests.”
 
Flex historically maintains stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. Starting in fiscal year 2023 Nextracker is granting equity compensation awards to its employees under the First Amended and Restated 2022 Nextracker LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Nextracker Plan”). Nextracker employees participate in those plans and a portion of the cost of those plans is included in Nextracker’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 7
for
a further description of the accounting for stock-based compensation.
Reverse unit split of the LLC
Reverse unit split of the LLC
In January 2023 the Board of Managers and the members of the LLC approved a
1-for-2.1
reverse unit split of the units authorized and outstanding, which was effected on January 30, 2023. All unit and per unit data shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes has been retroactively revised to give effect to this reverse unit split for all periods presented. Units underlying authorized and outstanding equity-based awards were proportionately decreased and the respective per unit value and exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities.
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency translation
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 interest and other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when realized and were not material for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 doubtful accounts, reserve for excess or obsolete inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves, contingencies, operation accruals, and fair values of stock options and restricted share unit awards granted under stock-based compensation plans. Due to the long-term economic effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic and geopolitical conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), there has been and will continue to be uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has made estimates and assumptions taking into consideration certain possible impacts due to the
COVID-19
pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences maybe material to the 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 consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented. In applying ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of solar tracker systems, parts, extended warranties on solar tracker systems components and software licenses along with associated maintenance and support. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following steps: (i) identify the contracts with the customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price;
(iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) Nextracker satisfies a performance obligation. In assessing the recognition of revenue, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. Further, the Company assesses whether control of the product or services promised under the contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time or over time.
The Company’s contracts for specific solar tracker system projects with customers are predominantly accounted for as one performance obligation
because the customer is purchasing an integrated service, which includes Nextracker’s overall management of the solar tracker system project and oversight through the installation process to ensure a functioning system is commissioned at the customer’s location. The Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs under the contract, which is principally as tracker system components are delivered to the designated project site. Although the Company sources the component parts from third party manufacturers, it obtains control and receives title of such parts before transferring them to the customer because Nextracker is primarily responsible for fulfillment to its customer. The Company’s engineering services and professional services are interdependent with the component parts whereby the parts form an input into a combined output for which it is the principal, and Nextracker could redirect the parts before they are transferred to the customer if needed. The customer owns the
work-in-process
over the course of the project and Nextracker’s performance enhances a customer-controlled asset, resulting in the recognition of the performance obligation over time. The measure of progress is estimated using an input method based on costs incurred to date on the project as a percentage of total expected costs to be incurred. The costs of materials and hardware components are recognized as incurred, which is typically upon delivery to the customer site or upon transfer of control while in transit. As such, the cost-based input measure is considered the best measure of progress in depicting the Company’s performance in completing a tracker system.
Contracts with customers that result in multiple performance obligations include contracts for the sale of components, solar tracker system project contracts with an extended warranty, and contracts for the sale of software solutions.
For contracts related to sale of components, Nextracker’s obligation to the customer is to deliver components that are used by the customer to create a tracker system and does not include engineering or other professional services or the obligation to provide such services in the future. Each component is a distinct performance obligation, and often the components are delivered in batches at different points in time. Nextracker estimates the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each performance obligation based on a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to a component is recognized at the point in time that control of the component transfers to the customer.
At times, a customer will purchase a service-type warranty with a tracker system project. Nextracker uses a cost plus margin methodology to determine the SSP for both the tracker system project and the extended warranty. The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized over time based on the period over which control transfers. The Company recognizes revenue allocated to the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the contractual service period,
which is generally
10
to
15
years. This period starts once the standard workmanship warranty expires, which is generally 5 to 10 years from the date control of the underlying tracker system components is transferred to the customer. To date, revenues recognized related to extended warranty were not
 
material.
Nextracker generates revenues from sales of software licenses of its TrueCapture and NX Navigator offerings, which are often sold separately from the tracker system. Software licenses are generally sold with maintenance
 
 
services, which
include ongoing security updates, upgrades, bug fixes and support. The software license and the maintenance services are separate performance obligations. Nextracker estimates the SSP of the software license using an adjusted market approach and estimates the SSP of the maintenance service using a cost plus margin approach. Revenue allocated to the software license is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the software license, and revenue allocated to the maintenance service is generally recognized over time on a straight-line basis during the maintenance term. Revenues related to sales of software licenses were not material and were approximately
 
1
%,
2
% and
1
% of total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Contract estimates
Accounting for contracts for which revenue is recognized over time requires Nextracker to estimate the expected margin that will be earned on the project. These estimates include assumptions on labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, and the cost and availability of materials including variable freight costs. Nextracker reviews and updates its contract-related estimates each reporting period and recognizes changes in estimates on contracts under the cumulative
catch-up
method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, Nextracker recognizes the total loss in the period it is identified.
Contract balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the consolidated balance sheets. Nextracker’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. When billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, a contract asset results. Contract assets of $298.0 million and $292.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, of which $116.3 million and $86.5 million, respectively, will be invoiced at the end of the projects as they represent funds withheld until the products are installed by a third party, arranged by the customer, and the project is declared operational. The remaining unbilled receivables will be invoiced throughout the project based on a set billing schedule such as milestones reached or completed rows delivered.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Nextracker converted $74.9 million and $71.7 million deferred revenue to revenue, respectively, which represented 70% and 78%, respectively, of the beginning period balance of deferred revenue.
Remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2023, Nextracker had $212.3 million of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 83% of these performance obligations in the next 12 months. The remaining long-term unperformed obligation primarily relates to extended warranty and deposits collected in advance on certain tracker
projects.
Practical expedients and exemptions
Nextracker has elected to adopt certain practical expedients and exemptions as allowed under ASC 606, such as (i) recording sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year, (ii) not
 
 
adjusting for the effects of significant financing components when the contract term is less than one year, (iii) excluding collected sales tax amounts from the calculation of revenue and (iv) accounting for the costs of shipping and handling activities that are incurred after the customer obtains control of the product as fulfillment costs rather than a separate service provided to the customer for which consideration would need to be allocated.
Fair value
Fair value
The fair values of Nextracker’s cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, derivative instruments, and cash and cash equivalents.
Customer credit risk
Customer credit risk
Nextracker has an established customer credit policy, through which it manages customer credit exposures through credit evaluations, credit limit setting, monitoring and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. Nextracker performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. Nextracker evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent Nextracker identifies exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, Nextracker also reviews other customer related exposures, including but not limited to contract assets, inventory and related contractual obligations.

Charges incurred during fiscal year 2021 are primarily for costs and expenses related to various distressed customers.
One customer accounted for greater than 10% of revenue in fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, with revenue of approximately $331.0 million, $196.2 million, and $230.3 million, respectively, and greater than
10
% of the total balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, with balances of approximately 15% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, one customer accounted for greater than 10% of the total balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets as of March 31, 2023 with balances of approximately 14%.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance Accounts receivable, net of allowance
Nextracker’s accounts receivable are due primarily from solar contractors across the United States and internationally. Credit is extended in the normal course of business based on evaluation of a customer’s financial
 
 
condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Trade receivables consist of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts receivable and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of the allowance for doubtful accounts, Nextracker makes judgments regarding the customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial conditions of Nextracker’s customers change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. When deemed uncollectible, the receivable is charged against the allowance.
Product warranty
Product warranty
Nextracker offers an assurance type warranty for its products against defects in design, materials and workmanship for a period ranging from five 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 our 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.

Total depreciation expense associated with property and equipment was approximately $3.4 million, $2.7 million, and $1.8 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Nextracker reviews property and equipment for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is determined by comparing the carrying amount to the lowest level of identifiable projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of property and equipment exceeds the fair value. Management determined there was no impairment for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes
For purposes of these consolidated financial statements, prior to the IPO, Nextracker taxes are calculated on a stand-alone basis as if Nextracker completed separate tax returns apart from its Parent (“Separate-return Method”). Following the IPO, Nextracker Inc. will file a separate tax return. The income taxes as presented herein for the
pre-IPO
period, allocate current and deferred income taxes of Flex to Nextracker, in a manner that Nextracker believes as systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740. Accordingly, as stated in paragraph 30 of ASC 740, total amounts allocated to Nextracker may not be indicative of Nextracker’s condition had Nextracker been a separate stand-alone entity during the
pre-IPO
periods presented.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is most likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment. Prior
 
to the IPO, for domestic entities, the settlement of tax obligations is assumed in the period incurred and included in net parent investment, whereas the settlement of certain historical foreign tax obligations is reflected in tax payables or receivables given that certain foreign entities have filed separately. Other foreign entities have not historically filed separately and therefore the settlement of their tax obligations is included in net parent investment. Any incremental foreign tax expense calculated on a stand-alone basis is recorded in net parent investment. Subsequent to the IPO, Nextracker Inc. is filing as a separate entity and income tax will be reported to payables and receivables for both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
Income taxes
Income taxes
We operate in numerous states and countries and must allocate our income, expenses, and earnings under the various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, our provision for income taxes represents our total estimate of the liability for income taxes that we have incurred in doing business each year in all our locations. Annually, we file tax returns that represent our filing positions with each jurisdiction and settle our tax return liabilities. Each jurisdiction has the right to audit those tax returns and may take different positions with respect to income and expense allocations and taxable earnings determinations. Because the determination of our annual income tax provision is subject to judgments and estimates, actual results may vary from those recorded in our financial statements. We recognize additions to and reductions in income tax expense during a reporting period that pertains to prior period provisions as our estimated liabilities are revised and our actual tax returns and tax audits are completed.
Our management is required to exercise judgment in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance that might be required against deferred tax assets. For further details on our income taxes, refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Tax receivable agreement
Tax receivable agreement
The Company has recorded a liability of
$230.3 million as of March 31,
2023, which is included in other liability on the consolidated balance sheets, representing

% of the estimated future tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). In U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we realize or are deemed to realize (determined by using certain assumptions) as a result of favorable tax attributes, will be available to us as a result of certain transactions contemplated in connection with our IPO, exchanges of Class A common stock or cash and payments made under the TRA. The actual amount and timing of any payments under these agreements, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including, among others, the timing of redemptions or exchanges by members of Nextracker LLC, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of the redemptions or exchanges, the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the tax receivable agreements constituting imputed interest. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. In projecting future taxable income, we consider our historical results as well as assumptions related to future forecasts for our various businesses by location. The impact of any changes in the total projected obligations recorded under the tax receivable agreements as a result of actual changes in the geographic mix of our earnings, changes in tax legislation and tax rates or other factors that may impact our actual tax savings realized will be reflected in income before taxes in the period in which the change occurs.

Redeemable preferred units
Redeemable preferred units
On February 1, 2022, the LLC issued redeemable preferred units designated as “Series A Preferred Units,” representing a 16.67% interest in the LLC, to Flex in exchange for the cancellation of a portion of the LLC’s previously issued and outstanding common units. Flex sold all of LLC’s Series A Preferred Units to TPG Rise Flash, L.P. (“TPG Rise”), an affiliate of the private equity firm TPG (“TPG”) on the same day. The holder of the Series A Preferred Units was entitled to cumulative
paid-in-kind
or cash dividends and
h
ad
 the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Units or convert the Series A Preferred Units upon certain conditions. Because the redemption or conversion conditions were outside of the control of the Company, the Company classified the Series A Preferred Units as temporary equity on the balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion.
Redeemable non-controlling interests
Redeemable
non-controlling
interests
Post IPO, the balance of the redeemable
non-controlling
interests is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable
non-controlling
interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated maximum redemption amount. The resulting changes in the estimated maximum redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments
 
against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional
paid-in-capital.
These interests are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity under the caption “Redeemable
non-controlling
interests.”

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic
718-10,
“Compensation-Stock Compensation.” The Company records stock-based compensation costs related to its incentive awards. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation cost for time-based awards is recognized ratably over the applicable vesting period. Compensation cost for performance-based awards with a performance condition is reassessed each period and recognized based upon the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. The performance-based awards with a performance condition are expensed when the achievement of performance conditions are probable. The total expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those awards that ultimately vest and forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.
Leases
Leases
Nextracker is a lessee with several
non-cancellable
operating leases, primarily for warehouses, buildings, and other assets such as vehicles and equipment. Nextracker determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A contract is a lease or contains a lease when (i) there is an identified asset, and (ii) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. Nextracker recognizes a
right-of-use
(“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for Nextracker’s operating leases. For operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Nextracker has elected the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption for all classes of assets, which allows Nextracker to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and with no purchase option Nextracker is reasonably certain of exercising. Nextracker has also elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and
non-lease
components as a single lease component, for all classes of underlying assets. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed considerations in the contract. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: fixed payments (including
in-substance
fixed payments) and variable payments that depend on an index or rate (initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date). As Nextracker cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease for its leases, Nextracker uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
 
The estimated incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The lease term for all of Nextracker’s leases includes the
non-cancellable
period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that Nextracker is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.
 
As
of March 31, 2023 and 2022, current operating lease liabilities were $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and long-term lease liabilities were $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 for additional information about Leases.
