EnWave présente ses résultats financiers intermédiaires consolidés pour le premier trimestre 2024
Delta, BC, February 23, 2024
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) today reported the Company’s consolidated interim financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Toutes les valeurs sont exprimées en milliers et en dollars canadiens, sauf indication contraire.
- Reported royalty revenues of $480, representing an increase of $67 relative to the comparable period in the prior year. Royalties grew due to increased partner product sales and production offset by a decrease in exclusivity fees for the quarter.
- Reported an overall decrease in Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”) costs (including Research & Development (“R&D”)) of $303 for Q1 2024 relative to the comparable period in the prior year, with the decrease primarily related to a reduction in commissions to third party sales representatives and concerted efforts to maintain discretionary spending.
- Reported revenue for Q1 2023 of $1,262, representing a decrease of $1,523 relative to the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily related to fewer machine sales and machines in fabrication due to the inherent volatility in large-scale Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) machine orders.
- Gross margin for the three months ended Q1 2024 was 18% compared to 37% for the three months ended Q1 2023. The decrease in margin was a result of fewer machine sales and machines in fabrication to absorb fixed overhead costs.
- Reported an Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss of $756 for Q1 2024, a decrease of $500 from the comparable period in the prior year.
