Item 4.01			Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 28, 2023 (the “Dismissal Date”), the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of Array Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately and informed BDO of such decision.

BDO’s audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through March 28, 2023, there were no (i) “disagreements,” with BDO, as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the related instructions thereto (“Regulation S-K”), on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements or reportable events, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements or reportable events in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, or (ii) “reportable events,” as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, relating to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, these material weaknesses related to (1) the design of entity-level controls impacting the control environment, risk assessment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements; (2) the design, implementation and execution of controls over the existence, accuracy, and cutoff of inventory; (3) the design, implementation and maintenance of effective controls over revenue recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”); (4) the design, implementation and maintenance of effective controls over the existence of accounts receivable; (5) the design, implementation and execution of controls over financial reporting, including the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the accounting for business combinations, and consolidation of subsidiaries; (6) the design, implementation and execution of control over foreign currency, including identifying and recording amounts in the proper functional currency and foreign currency translation; (7) the design, implementation and monitoring of general computer controls relating to Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L.U. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”); and (8) the design and implementation of formal accounting policies, procedures and controls across substantially all of the STI’s business processes.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, these material weaknesses related to (1) the design of entity-level controls impacting the control environment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements; (2) the design and implementation of controls over the existence, accuracy, and cutoff of inventory; (3) the design, implementation and maintenance of effective controls over revenue recognized for certain contracts relating to the proper application of ASC 606; and (4) the design, implementation and maintenance of effective controls over the existence of accounts receivable.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether BDO agrees with the statements made in this Current Report. A copy of BDO’s letter addressed to the SEC, dated March 30, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
