Management Commentary

Cameron Watt, President & Chief Executive Officer of Intouch Insight, commented:

“The second quarter delivered exactly what we said it would. Revenue grew 8% to $7,015,784, our strongest quarterly growth rate in seven quarters, with growth across each of our major product lines, and we did it while continuing to fund the investments that we committed to at the start of the year. We told the market we would invest into growth without diluting shareholders, and we have not issued a single share to do it. We intend to fund these investments from cash generated by operations and our existing credit facilities, and we do not anticipate that an equity financing will be required.”

Watt added:

“Our goal to double the business by the end of 2028 remains our focus and our 2026 expectations are unchanged: double-digit organic revenue growth by year end, more than $1 million of merchandising revenue, and continued investment in our strategy, which may result in an operating loss. Merchandising has been slower off the line than we wanted, but the shape of the year is intact. Based on contracts signed to date, we expect third quarter merchandising revenue on its own to exceed the combined revenue of the first half.  We are continuing to pursue our stated strategy and remain optimistic in achieving our goals.”

Voltage Energy Will Seek New Trial and Review of Verdict in Shoals Patent Dispute

Published

on

By

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Voltage Energy Group (“Voltage Energy”), a leading solar and clean energy solutions provider founded in North Carolina, today confirmed that it will seek a new trial following the jury’s verdict in Voltage’s ongoing patent dispute with Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (“Shoals”) in the Middle District of North Carolina.

Voltage Energy strongly disagrees with the jury’s verdict and believes the judgment is not supported by legally sufficient evidence or the law. The Company will pursue all available post-trial remedies.

“We are confident in our record for appeal and the Court’s prior findings that Shoals violated an agreement prohibiting its counsel’s involvement in obtaining these patents,” said Li Wang, CEO of Voltage Energy. “Voltage independently developed LYNX in 2021 through its own engineering efforts, three years before the patents asserted by Shoals were issued. Our focus remains on proudly powering the renewable energy industry.”

LYNX PLUS, the Company’s latest trunk bus solution featuring a 2kV architecture, 0.5–0.8% higher yield, 10–15% material savings, and 34% voltage-drop reduction, remains in full production and continues to ship to customers as scheduled. Building on this foundation, Voltage Energy will proudly unveil new products and technologies at RE+ 2026, taking place November 17–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Customers and partners are invited to explore its latest solutions at Booths N936 and N736. The upcoming opening of Power Ranch in Roxboro, North Carolina, will further mark the Company’s next milestone in expansion and innovation roadmap.
