Bull points
- This quarter has been a good transition quarter. Though our top-line revenue for the quarter is not yet where we want, we are in a much better position than Q124. We have received 28 orders for new charging stations versus only one a year ago. Our backlog is growing, but our revenue recognition slowed as we transitioned to a drop-ship model with our new partner, TELUS PowerGreen, that we announced in January.
- We are very bullish on the Japanese market, and we are convinced that we are doing this transition at the right time.
- This quarter carries the fruit of many quarters of hard work to transform Nuvi, reducing our cash burn at the holding level, and focusing the organization on profitability. This transformation is well underway, and we are very excited about the future.
Bear points
- Net loss attributable to newly common stockholders decreased in the first quarter of 2025 to $6.9 million from a net loss of $7 million in Q1 of 2024.
