#1nextracker. Q4 FY2023 Earnings Presentation May 10, 2023#2Disclaimer Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements This presentation is made by Nextracker, Inc. (the "Company") and contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: our financial and operating outlook and guidance; our strategies, mission, plans, objectives and goals; the market demand for our products, solutions and services; our ability to compete with existing and new competitors in existing and new markets; estimates of the cost of solar, the Company's carbon offsets, installation and operations savings, energy yields, and improvements to levelized cost of energy; projections regarding the U.S. and global demand for solar and addressable market and market size; macro-economic trends; growth opportunities and plans for future operations, products and services; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. Terminology such as "will," "may," "should," "could," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "expect," "estimate," "project," "target," "possible." "potential," "forecast" and "positioned" and similar references to future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate, and speak only as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or other events to be materially different from any future results, performance or other events expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Our actual future results, performance or other events may be materially different from what we expect. Important factors that could cause actual results, performance or other events to differ materially from our expectations include: the demand for solar energy and, in turn, our products; competitive pressures within the solar tracker industry; competition from conventional and other renewable energy sources; variability in our results of operations, including as a result of fluctuations in our customers' businesses as well as seasonal weather-related disruptions; the reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy and solar energy; our reliance on our suppliers and any problems with our suppliers or disruptions in our supply chain; changes in the global trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial results and financial condition; an increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt financing, impacting the ability of project developers and owners to finance the cost of a solar energy system; a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment to us; defects or performance problems in our products; delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations; severe weather events, natural disasters and other catastrophic events; our continued expansion into new markets; electric utility industry policies and regulations; decreases in the price of electricity; our failure to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets or to successfully defend against third-party claims of infringement; and cybersecurity or other data incidents. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward- looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and any current and periodic reports filed thereafter. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in the Company's expectations, even if new information becomes available in the future. Industry and Market Data Market data and industry information used throughout this presentation are based on management's knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. We also relied, to the extent available, upon management's review of independent industry surveys and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third-party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe that these sources are reliable as of their respective dates, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not independently verified this information. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. Trademarks included herein are the property of the owners thereof and are used for reference purposes only. Such use should not be construed as an endorsement of the solutions and services descried herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We present adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, and proforma adjusted EPS as supplemental measures of performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. Among other limitations, these measures do not reflect our cash expenditures or future capital expenditures or contractual commitments (including under the Tax Receivable Agreement), do not reflect the impact of certain cash or non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations and do not reflect the associated income tax expense benefit related to those charges. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently from us, which further limits their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures. should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure included as an appendix to this presentation and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. nextracker. ©2023 NEXTRACKER | Proprietary 2#3Agenda nextracker.

See page titled "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison-Sensitivity to Cost of Capital" for cost of capital sensitivities. 1.) Given the limited data set available for new-build geothermal projects, the LCOE presented herein represents Lazard's LCOE v 15.0 results adjusted for inflation. 2.) The fuel cost assumption for Lazard's unsubsidized analysis for gas-fired generation resources is $3.45/MMBTU for year-over-year comparison purposes. See page titled "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison-Sensitivity to Fuel Prices" for fuel price sensitivities. 3.) Given the limited public and/or observable data set available for new-build nuclear projects and the emerging range of new nuclear generation strategies, the LCOE presented herein represents Lazard's LCOE v15.0 results adjusted for inflation (results are based on then-estimated costs of the Vogtle Plant and are U.S.- focused). 4.) Represents the midpoint of the unsubsidized marginal cost of operating fully depreciated gas combined cycle, coal and nuclear facilities, inclusive of decommissioning costs for nuclear facilities. Analysis assumes that the salvage value for a decommissioned gas combined cycle or coal asset is equivalent to its decommissioning and site restoration costs. Inputs are derived from a benchmark of operating gas combined cycle, coal and nuclear assets across the U.S. Capacity factors, fuel, variable and fixed operating expenses are based on upper- and lower-quartile estimates derived from Lazard's research. See page titled "Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison-Renewable Energy versus Marginal Cost of Selected Existing Conventional Generation Technologies" for additional details. 5.) Given the limited public and/or observable data set available for new-build coal projects, the LCOE presented herein represents Lazard's LCOE v15.0 results adjusted for inflation. High end incorporates 90% carbon capture and storage ("CCS"). Does not include cost of transportation and storage. 6.) Represents the LCOE of the observed high case gas combined cycle inputs using a 20% blend of "Blue" hydrogen, (i.e., hydrogen produced from a steam-methane reformer, using natural gas as a feedstock, and sequestering the resulting CO2 in a nearby saline aquifer). No plant modifications are assumed beyond a 2% adjustment to the plant's heat rate. The corresponding fuel cost is $5.20/MMBTU, assuming -$1.40/kg for Blue hydrogen. 7.) Represents the LCOE of the observed high case gas combined cycle inputs using a 20% blend of "Green" hydrogen, (i.e., hydrogen produced from an electrolyzer powered by a mix of wind and solar generation and stored in a nearby salt cavern). No plant modifications are assumed beyond a 2% adjustment to the plant's heat rate. The corresponding fuel cost is $10.05/MMBTU, assuming -$4.15/kg for Green hydrogen. nextracker. ©2023 NEXTRACKER | Proprietary 9#10Economics and Demand Driving the Addressable Market Solar Economics Solar leads global energy capacity additions4 Cost reduction progress, & competitiveness vs coal and nuclear $/MWh5 100% 6x 359 80% 60 2009 2023 60% Policy Significantly Impacting Demand Solar 50% Decarbonization and energy independence 40% Renewables Non-Solar + U.S Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 20% + Renewables & Electrification Investments Legacy Gen / Fossil Fuels - U.S. PV Module Trade Restrictions 0% 2010 2015 2021 Permitting and Interconnection Delays nextracker. 3.) 2020-2050; source: IEA 2022 4.)
