EFI IS THE PRIMARY SUPPLIER OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS TO A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY WAP SUB-GRANTEES IN MASSACHUSETTS. SOME OF THESE MEASURES ARE FUNDED WITH UTILITY RATE-BASED SYSTEM BENEFIT CHARGES (SBC) DOLLARS, ALLOWING FEDERAL WAP FUNDS TO STRETCH FURTHER TO ENABLE MORE LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO BE SERVED. DURING FY 2023 $1,800,000 WORTH OF ENERGY CONSERVATION PRODUCTS WERE SHIPPED TO AGENCIES AND FOOD BANKS BY EFI FOR INSTALLATION IN PEOPLE'S HOMES. EFI ALSO CONTINUES TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE SUPPORTING THE WORK OF BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS. EFI INVENTORIES MANY OF THE TYPES OF PRODUCTS NEEDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES, INCLUDING AIR SEALING AND INSULATION PRODUCTS, HIGH-TECH VENTILATION SYSTEMS AND FANS, LIGHTING AND HVAC CONTROLS, ALONG WITH WATER EFFICIENT DEVICES. DURING FY 2023 EFI SHIPPED $5,300,000 MILLION WORTH OF THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS TO THE TRADESPEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON EFI'S PRODUCT AND LOGISTICS EXPERTISE.IN ADDITION, MAKING ENERGY EFFICIENCY-RELATED PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS THROUGH MAIL ORDER PROGRAMS AND TRANSACTIONAL ECOMMERCE MARKETPLACES ARE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE WAYS TO COST EFFECTIVELY STIMULATE INCREASED USE OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS, AN AREA IN WHICH EFI IS A LEADER. THESE PROGRAMS OFFER UTILITY-SPONSORED INSTANT DISCOUNTS ON PRODUCTS RANGING FROM ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED LIGHT BULBS TO HIGH PERFORMANCE SHOWER HEADS TO ADVANCED POWER STRIPS, SMART THERMOSTATS, AND ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED APPLIANCES. DURING FY 2023 EFI ATTRACTED 3,100,000 MILLION VISITORS TO OUR MARKETPLACES, RESULTING IN OVER 94,000 ORDERS BEING PLACED BY CUSTOMERS OF OUR ELECTRIC AND GAS UTILITY CLIENTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 215,000 PRODUCTS. SALES THROUGH THIS CHANNEL EXCEEDED $23 MILLION DURING FY 2023.AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF EFI'S MISSION IS ALSO TO FIND PROMISING NEW ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS, AND TO DEVISE CREATIVE WAYS TO BRING THEM TO MARKET. EFI HAS HELPED DRIVE THE TRANSITION FROM COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTING PRODUCTS TO LEDS, WHICH DELIVER BOTH GREATER SAVINGS AND BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN FLUORESCENTS. WE WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN INTRODUCING SMART THERMOSTATS TO UTILITY-SPONSORED PROGRAMS. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROMOTED THE USE OF ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED EV CHARGING STATIONS THROUGH UTILITY-SPONSORED MARKETPLACE, ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED ROOM AIR PURIFIERS, AND OUTDOOR ELECTRIC POWER EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS ELECTRIC LAWNMOWERS) IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH UTILITIES ARE NOT SIMPLY FOCUSED ON INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AMONG THEIR CUSTOMERS, BUT ON REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. MORE RECENTLY, WE ARE ADDING ENERGY STAR LARGE APPLIANCES TO OUR OFFERING, POSSIBLE THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH GE APPLIANCES, ENERGY STAR DUCTLESS HEAT PUMPS, MANUFACTURED BY MR. COOL, AND WI-FI ENABLED SMART CIRCUIT BREAKER PANELS FROM SPAN.IO. 4571306 5150 5615677 INCENTIVE SERVICESDURING EFI'S HISTORY THE ORGANIZATION HAS PROCESSED INCENTIVES FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES, INCLUDING ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING, APPLIANCES, HIGH EFFICIENCY HVAC EQUIPMENT, ADVANCED POWER STRIPS, INSULATION AND AIR SEALING MEASURES, AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS, HAVING ISSUED APPROXIMATELY $3 BILLION WORTH OF INCENTIVES ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENTS TO-DATE. INCENTIVES SUCH AS THESE ARE TO ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO INVEST IN ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS AND MEASURES THAT THEY MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE. THE TYPES OF INCENTIVE SERVICES THAT EFI MAKES AVAILABLE TO UTILITIES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: UPSTREAM REBATES, IN WHICH THE INCENTIVE AGREEMENT IS TYPICALLY EXECUTED BETWEEN THE UTILITY SPONSOR AND A MANUFACTURER/RETAILER, RESULT IN THE CUSTOMER PRICE FOR THE ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCT BEING DISCOUNTED BY THE AMOUNT OF THE INCENTIVE PROVIDED BY THE UTILITY. EFI VERIFIES THE PURCHASE DATA PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER/RETAILER AND REIMBURSES THE MANUFACTURER/RETAILER. MIDSTREAM REBATES, FOR WHICH CUSTOMER AND MEASURE ELIGIBILITY IS CONFIRMED BY A RETAILER OR DISTRIBUTOR, WITH THE UTILITY REBATE APPLIED BY THE DISTRIBUTOR DURING THE PURCHASE. EFI VERIFIES THE CUSTOMER AND MEASURE ELIGIBILITY AND REIMBURSED THE MIDSTREAM DISTRIBUTOR. DOWNSTREAM REBATES ARE THOSE IN WHICH THE END-USER MUST APPLY FOR A REBATE SUBSEQUENT TO THE PURCHASE OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENT MEASURE. EFI USUALLY SUPPORTS THESE PROGRAMS THROUGH THE DEPLOYMENT OF AN ONLINE SITE THROUGH WHICH REQUIRED INFORMATION MAY BE ENTERED AND/OR UPLOADED. EFI SOMETIMES ENTERS INFORMATION FROM DOWNSTREAM REBATES ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER, BUT TODAY MANAGEMENT OF DOWNSTREAM PROGRAMS CONSISTS MORE OF REVIEWING AND VERIFYING CUSTOMER-SUBMITTED DATA. INSTANT REBATES ALLOW ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS TO VERIFY THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR A UTILITY REBATE ON A GIVEN PRODUCT THROUGH THEIR SMART PHONE, SELECT FROM A LIST OF PARTICIPATING RETAILERS, AND HAVE A DISCOUNT CODE BARCODE SENT TO THEIR PHONE VIA TEXT THAT WILL APPLY THE UTILITY REBATE DURING CHECKOUT AT THE RETAILER. THE SAVINGS FROM THE PRODUCTS AND MEASURES FOR WHICH UTILITIES OFFER FINANCIAL INCENTIVES (REBATES) PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES IN THE FORM OF LOWER ENERGY BILLS, THEY REDUCE THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRICITY GENERATION, AND THEY RESULT IN REDUCED ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASSES. 14379554 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 189 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X DON MUIR 5088702277 2 MOUNT ROYAL AVENUE SUITE 325 MARLBOROUGH MA 01752 DAVID LONG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 2000 0 0 RACHEL KEMP DIRECTOR 1.00 X 2000 0 0 LAURA MATZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 2000 0 0 NANCY NYLEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 2000 0 0 PAUL DANEHY CEO/PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 724975 0 35876 JULIA HARMATZ GENERAL COUNSEL/SEC (UNTIL 7/22) 40.00 X X 115749 0 15829 DONALD MUIR CFO/TREASURER 40.00 X X 202434 0 22959 JOHN NAUGHTON CHIEF OPERATING OFF (UNTIL 7/22) 40.00 X 250582 0 17851 DAVID LEUCI CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER 40.00 X 240446 0 33790 PHILIP SCARBRO VP OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 171179 0 32129 JONATHAN COONS DIRECTOR, MARKETING (UNTIL 6/23) 40.00 X 153673 0 2455 BRIAN KISSANE DIRECTOR, CLIENT SUCCESS MANAGEMENT 40.00 X 151351 0 32172 SHAWN BARRATT IT APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER 40.00 X 175206 0 32414 STAHLER JOSEPH SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR 40.00 X 129545 0 31950 CHRISTOPHER PALAIMA DIRECTOR, SUPPLY CHAIN (UNTIL 4/23) 40.00 X 140444 0 21065 JOHN MARSHEA DIRECTOR, FINANCE 40.00 X 133890 0 32145 STEPHEN STARK PRINCIPLE ENGINEER 40.00 X 121564 0 31932 THOMAS GENDRON MANAGER, PROJECT MGMT (UNTIL 6/23) 40.00 X 123017 0 31805 2842055 0 374372 25 0 1 0 SEKO WORLDWIDE LLC 1100 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS RD SUITE 600 ITASCA IL 60143 LOGISTICS SERVICES 3078436 RACKSPACE LTD 1 FANATICAL PLACE SAN ANTONIO TX 78218 IT CONSULTING 1368197 MINOT TECHNOLOGY GROUP LLC 269 HANOVER STREET HANOVER MA 02339 IT CONSULTING 558588 R&L TRUCKLOAD SERVICES LLC 600 GILLAM ROAD WILMINGTON OH 45177 TRANSPORTATION SERVICES 144213 EMERALD GRAPHICS LLC 2 HARDING ROAD MEDWAY MA 02053 PRINTING SERVICES 104370 5 SERVICES INCOME 518210 5615677 5615677 5615677 2658 0 2658 2658 2658 40001044 32053421 7947623 7947623 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 518210 840178 840178 840178 14406136 13563300 0 842836 10300 10300 1665042 1665042 6553128 6382309 170819 1262762 1024007 238755 638365 503447 134918 5961 4564 1397 112243 112243 299293 249047 50246 304132 276255 27877 14114 12130 1984 5193881 2832312 2361569 1329231 1308012 21219 192074 183378 8696 11010 8134 2876 198877 198877 233651 151873 81778 329815 313324 16491 DUES AND FEES 381894 381894 TELEPHONE 344408 344408 SCANNING EXPENSE 258386 258386 SUPPLIES 220010 220010 71498 61295 10203 19630075 14379554 5250521 0 1154509 1487248 29837602 36010951 5989011 6333894 540704 412967 11088440 7324200 1775143 3764240 283054 27297 39580023 48036597 25729865 39167838 293378 50838 0 25780703 39461216 X 13799320 8575381 13799320 8575381 39580023 48036597 -5223939 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 4932692 1228796 3703896 6155748 6095404 60344 3764240 X 14406136 0 14406136 0 14406136 19630075 0 19630075 0 19630075 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE EFFECT OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS BASED ON A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD TO THE RECOGNITION OF THE TAX POSITIONS BEING SUSTAINED BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION UNDER SCRUTINY BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY.
