Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2024 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let me analyze the transcript for these three elements: (1) THE PRESSURE COMES FROM PROVEN, REPEAT COUNTERPARTIES. The parties asking for more are ones that have already transacted with the company and already have experience of what it delivers. Looking at the transcript, Saleel Awsare discusses the lead smart grid customer (Gridspertise). He says: "we received our first follow-on order for the first half of fiscal year 2025 as this customer is transitioning from design and initial production to a run rate business." This is a repeat customer that has already transacted and is now ordering more. Also: "we expect that as they expand their market beyond the current rollout and into broader applications and geographies with the QED device and its variants, we will continue to partner with them to address these needs." Also, regarding the Togg automotive customer: "They recently unveiled their second vehicle. The T10F Sedan and our embedded compute solution, is designed into the vehicle's digital cockpit." This is an existing customer expanding. (2) THE ASK EXCEEDS WHAT THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY. Management conveys that satisfying these requests is beyond the company's present capability. Looking at the transcript, does management say the company cannot currently supply what these buyers want? Let me look... Saleel says: "While we don't expect $20 million in the quarter to be the immediate run rate, we expect it will take some time for them to deploy the units we are currently shipping and they demonstrate their success. We expect the business will continue to grow over time." This suggests the customer is deploying what's shipped, and the business will grow over time. It doesn't clearly say the company cannot supply what the customer wants. The follow-on order is $11 million for the first half of fiscal 2025, which seems manageable. Is there any indication that the company is turning away orders, allocating, or telling customers to wait? I don't see that in the transcript. The company seems to be able to supply what's being asked. (3) THE COMPANY IS ENLARGING ITSELF NOW, AND THE NUMBERS DON'T SHOW IT YET.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
