Executive summary

  • Q3 2024 revenue declined 21% year-over-year, mainly due to lower PHA and PLA sales from customer reallocations and reduced demand.

  • Interim CEO Rich Altais highlighted the company's leadership transition and focus on biodegradable materials, with a permanent CEO search ongoing.

  • Cost reduction efforts, including headcount rationalization and operational suspensions, were implemented to preserve liquidity.

  • Commercial progress includes a major QSR cutlery contract, partnerships with Eagle Beverage, Delta Cafes, WinCup, and Mars Wrigley, and new product launches.

  • The company faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to negative cash flows and limited liquidity.

Financial highlights

  • Q3 2024 revenue was $8.6M, down from $10.9M in Q3 2023; PHA resin sales fell 22% to $6.6M; PLA sales were $1.3M.

  • Q3 gross loss was $7.3M; adjusted gross loss improved to $2.3M from $2.6M; adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $8.9M from $9.3M.

  • Net loss narrowed to $21.8M from $40.2M, aided by a $6.8M gain on loan extinguishment.

  • Cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end were $22.2M; restricted cash was $14.1M; total debt was $387.9M.

  • Operating cash outflow for nine months was $46.5M; net cash from financing was $15.6M.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
