Executive summary

  • Entered a strategic investment agreement with QTEQ/Q Technology Group, backed by a top-tier US OEM, resulting in over NOK 222.9 million ($223M) gross proceeds and increased market momentum.

  • Significant purchase orders and design-ins for T-lenses and drivers in AR/MR and barcode/machine vision markets, including a NOK 1.7 million order from a top-tier OEM.

  • QTEQ/Q Tech acquired about 30–33% stake, gained board representation, and is building an assembly/test line in Shanghai.

  • Patent infringement case in the US resolved commercially, removing legal uncertainty and avoiding litigation costs.

  • Multiple design wins and repeat orders in barcode, AR/MR, and enterprise markets, with new enterprise customer design-in expected to launch by year-end.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 revenue was NOK 3.0 million (SEK 3M), down from NOK 5.3 million in Q2 2024, but YTD revenue slightly ahead of prior year.

  • Gross margin was slightly negative in Q2 due to high obsolescence provision.

  • EBITDA loss widened to NOK -29.5 million in Q2 2025, up from NOK -21.7 million year-over-year.

  • Cash and cash equivalents increased to over NOK 273.1 million (CHF 270M) at quarter-end, mainly from the capital raise.

  • Inventory at NOK 56.9–57M, written down by NOK 6M YTD due to obsolescence and goods sold.

Outlook and guidance

  • Strategic partnership with QTEQ/Q Tech and backing from a top-tier US OEM is expected to drive future growth and market acceptance.

  • High-volume orders and profitability depend on further market adoption; focus remains on execution and qualifying products with major OEMs.

  • Lead-free T-lens development is underway, with first samples expected in Q4, opening new market opportunities.

  • Growth opportunities are increasing and becoming more visible across AR/MR, industrial, and consumer segments.

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.
