    1. Your adjusted gross margin in Q4 was 37.6%, below your long-term target of 40%, and you've mentioned competitive pricing pressures and product mix as factors. Can you provide more details on the specific actions you're taking to improve margins in 2025, and how confident are you in achieving the 40% target given the potential headwinds from the move to the new factory and ongoing competitive pressures?

    2. Regarding the recent reversal in the Voltage Section 337 case by the ITC and your subsequent appeal, how do you anticipate this legal uncertainty will impact your competitive position and pricing strategy in the near term, and have you seen any changes in customer behavior or market dynamics as a result?

    3. International markets are a key part of your growth strategy, but you've only recognized about $10 million in revenue from international projects in 2024, with $15 million expected in 2025. Given the long sales cycles and potential regulatory challenges, what steps are you taking to accelerate international expansion, and how confident are you in achieving meaningful revenue growth outside the U.S.?

    4. You've mentioned that 69% of your backlog and awarded orders are expected to convert to revenue over the next 12 months, down from 76% in Q3. Can you elaborate on the reasons behind this decline, and what measures are you implementing to improve backlog conversion rates and mitigate potential project delays?

    5. With the consolidation into a new, state-of-the-art factory underway, how do you anticipate this will impact your operational efficiency and margins during the transition period in 2025, and what risks are there that this move could cause further disruptions or inefficiencies beyond what you've planned for?
