The earnings call summary presents mixed signals. While there are positive developments, such as the SymCool IQ module order and engagement with Stellantis, the financials show increasing net loss and operating expenses, with modest revenue expectations. The Q&A reveals some optimism, but management's vague responses about key timelines and opportunities introduce uncertainty. The lack of a clear partnership announcement or guidance adjustment further tempers positive sentiment. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable, leading to a neutral prediction for the next two weeks.
Cash Burn $2.1 million (up from $2 million in Q1 2024, down from $2.6 million in Q4 2024). The increase year-over-year is attributed to ongoing operational costs, while the decrease from the previous quarter is due to timing of spending and related payments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents $13.7 million at March 31, 2025. No year-over-year change mentioned.
Operating Expenses $2.8 million (up from $2.5 million in Q1 2024). The increase is expected due to modest increases in research and development and sales and marketing spending.
Net Loss $2.7 million (compared to $2.5 million in Q1 2024). The increase in net loss is attributed to higher operating expenses.
Shares Outstanding 8,347,970 shares at March 31, 2025. No year-over-year change mentioned.
Warrants Outstanding 342,240 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $8.9, set to expire in August 2025. If exercised in full, this would result in $3 million of proceeds to the company.
Solid-State Circuit Breaker Prototypes: Completed prototypes related to the first design win 3 months ahead of schedule, with initial testing completed.
