  • Meter acquisition expense and customer churn are decreasing as the result of the industry-wide suspension of door-to- door meter acquisition.
  • Diversified markets
  • Liquid balance sheet
  • Very low level of long-term debt

Headwinds

  • Restrictions on in-person sales and marketing will likely slow customer acquisition for the duration of the pandemic and may result in net meter attrition.
