Q2 2026 earnings summary
23 Aug, 2026Executive summary
Q2 2026 marked a pivotal quarter with the launch of the Power Hub, expanding into power infrastructure and energy storage for data centers and the AI economy, with a strategic focus on powertrain and hub production.
Delivered 30 units generating $4.7M in revenue, down from 135 units and $18.4M in Q2 2025, reflecting a shift in product mix.
Achieved second consecutive quarter of positive gross margin, with 12 consecutive quarters of positive non-GAAP gross margins.
Net loss for Q2 2026 was $6.9M, an improvement from $7.5M in Q2 2025, driven by lower operating expenses and improved other income.
The company continues to face substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to ongoing losses, negative cash flows, and limited liquidity.
Financial highlights
Q2 2026 revenue was $4.7M on 30 units, down from $18.4M on 135 units in Q2 2025; first half 2026 revenue was $16.0M on 125 units, down from $24.3M on 164 units in H1 2025.
Q2 2026 gross profit was $0.6M (12.1% margin), non-GAAP $0.3M (7.2%); first half 2026 GAAP gross profit was $4.9M (31%), non-GAAP $4.6M (29%).

Outlook and guidance
Revised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $35–43M, with unit deliveries of 250–350 and non-GAAP operating loss of $14.7–11.4M.
Majority of 2026 deliveries expected in the second half, weighted toward higher-margin products.
Management expects continued volatility in unit sales and revenue due to lack of a robust order backlog and ongoing supply chain and tariff disruptions.
The company is actively seeking additional capital through equity and debt offerings but warns that access to capital is not assured.
If unable to secure funding or extend debt maturities, the company may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.
