The earnings call indicates several negative factors: a downward revision of revenue guidance, market contraction in Taiwan, macroeconomic headwinds, and a significant drop in vehicle sales volume. Although there are positive financial improvements in operating cash flow, expense savings, and gross margin, these are overshadowed by weak market conditions and reduced discretionary spending. The Q&A section did not provide new positive insights to counterbalance these concerns. Overall, the negative factors outweigh the positives, leading to a 'Negative' sentiment rating.
Operating Cash Flow Generated over $25.7 million in operating cash flow for the first 9 months of 2025, nearly doubling last year's level. This improvement is attributed to stronger working capital management and expense efficiency.
Operating Expense Savings Achieved approximately $21 million in operating expense savings for the first 9 months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This reflects a company-wide commitment to simplify, streamline, and strengthen operations.
Adjusted EBITDA Grew to $47 million for the first 9 months of 2025, a 25% increase over last year. This improvement is due to tighter cost control and improved non-operating income.
Adjusted Gross Margin Improved to 19.3% for the first 9 months of 2025, an increase of 4.3 percentage points from 2024. This was driven by better inventory management, reduced service and repair costs, and fewer inventory write-downs.
Battery Swapping Service Revenue Grew 11.5% year-over-year to $38.9 million in Q3 2025. This growth was driven by a 5% year-over-year increase in the subscriber base, reaching 657,000 riders.
Inventory Reduction Reduced inventory by 34% year-over-year in Q3 2025. This was achieved through more effective procurement and production planning.
Hardware and Other Revenue Declined to $38.7 million in Q3 2025, down 25.5% year-over-year. This was primarily due to a 43.7% decline in vehicle sales volume, reflecting macroeconomic headwinds, weaker consumer sentiment, and decreased discretionary spending.
Gross Margin Improved to 12.2% in Q3 2025, up from 5.4% in the same quarter last year. On a non-IFRS basis, gross margin reached 22.2%, up 5.9 percentage points year-over-year. This was driven by improved inventory management, reduced service and repair costs, and fewer inventory write-downs.
Adjusted EBITDA (Quarterly) Rose to $20.2 million in Q3 2025, up from $15.5 million last year. This improvement reflects higher non-IFRS gross profit, tighter cost control, and improved non-operating income.
Net Loss Narrowed to $14.9 million in Q3 2025 compared to $18.2 million in the same quarter last year. This reflects a healthier operating structure and continued improvement in profitability metrics.
