Executive summary

• Q3 continuing revenue rose 60% YoY to $2.591M; continuing-operations net loss narrowed to $2.990M from $10.410M, supported by lower expenses, stronger Cespira results and a $2.162M warrant-liability remeasurement gain.

• Cespira revenue rose 46% to $28.247M and gross profit improved to $3.689M from a $1.036M loss; quarter-end cash was $14.529M, with substantial doubt about funding operations through the next 12 months.

Financial highlights

Outlook and guidance

• Existing cash and available liquidity are projected to be insufficient for operations through the 12 months after interim-statement issuance; financing plans do not alleviate substantial doubt.

• Financing options under evaluation include the committed equity facility, public-market fundraising, debt and other alternatives; plans are conditional on market conditions and may not provide sufficient funds.

• HPDI 3.0 production is scheduled to begin in Q4 2026, with first equipped vehicles expected on the road in early 2027; a significant Cespira engineering-services project is expected to complete in Q4.
