Negative
Net Loss Improvement: The company reported a net loss of $522 million for 2024, which, while an improvement from the $615 million loss in 2023, still indicates significant financial challenges.
R&D Expense Reduction: R&D expenses decreased to $507 million in 2024 from $580 million in 2023, but this was partly due to cost-cutting measures rather than an increase in operational efficiency or revenue generation.

Cash Consumption Concerns: Despite a strong cash position of $1.1 billion, the company reported a net cash consumption of roughly $532 million for 2024, raising concerns about sustainability and future funding needs.
