Negative
Quarterly Revenue Growth: Revenue for the quarter generated was €34.7 million, representing a 7% year-over-year growth, but impacted by a softer market in Europe for all product categories.
Revenue Charge Impact: We saw this growth offset by a one-off revenue charge of €1.6 million from a return related to a historical bill and hold agreement with a specific customer.
Gross Margin Impact Analysis: Gross margin was 23% in the third quarter, heavily impacted by one-off inventory provision as we continue to develop and improve our different product families, certain components become obsolete or much slower to sell.
EBITDA Loss Impact: Consolidated adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was €21.8 million, breaking the improvement trend seen in the last quarter due to the inventory provision.
Inventory Provision Update: The additional inventory provision amount for the quarter is €4 million, which is not a cash out nor a write-off yet.
