SEC filingQ1 revenue doubled to $32.0M amid volume recovery, yet gross losses deepened to -$15.9M as costs outpaced sales growth, driving net loss to -$20.6M and intensified cash burn from operations and capex.
Revenue expansion to $32.0M represented an 82% increase over prior year, driven by volume recovery in core operations. However, this growth occurred against a backdrop of sharply negative gross margins at -49.6%, as cost of goods sold exceeded sales value. The resulting gross loss of -$15.9M marked a 9% worsening from -$14.6M in Q1 FY2025, underscoring that higher topline failed to translate to profitability due to cost dynamics outpacing revenue gains.
A recent accounting shift to weighted average cost for inventory aims to better match costs with revenues, conform to single-method accounting, and enhance peer comparability—management views this as preferable for reflecting operational realities. Yet, thin MD&A guidance leaves forward visibility limited, with cautions on emerging unpredictable factors. Investors should monitor whether capacity investments and volume recovery can overcome cost headwinds to deliver sustainable margins, amid ongoing risks to liquidity from cash burn.
