Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, our strategic realignment and related initiatives, our market opportunities, and our future financial performance. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report involve significant risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. The factors that may affect our results include, among others, the following:
•our ability to generate positive cash flow and liquidity sufficient to meet our operating needs and satisfy our obligations;
•our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock and our public warrants on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), and the potential liquidity and trading of such securities;
•our ability to execute our business plan, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and our ability to grow and manage growth profitably, raise financing in the near-term, fund our operating expenses, maintain relationships with customers and retain our key employees;
•changes in applicable laws or regulations;
•the inability to develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
•our ability to service and comply with our indebtedness;
•our ability to raise financing in the near-term and in the future;
•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
•whether our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements and our ability to continue as a going concern;
•the potential for our business development efforts to maximize the potential value of our portfolio;
•regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;
•the impact of laws and regulations;
•our ability to successfully implement our strategic realignment and related initiatives;
•our capital requirements and needs for additional financing;
•our financial performance;
•macroeconomic conditions, including economic downturns or recessions, inflation, interest rate fluctuations and supply chain shortages; and
•other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” herein and in Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described herein under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the impact of other macroeconomic factors and there may be additional risks that we currently consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Velo3D, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Velo3D, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Velo3D” ), formerly known as JAWS Spitfire Acquisition Corporation (“JAWS Spitfire”), produces metal additive three dimensional printers (“3D Printers”) which enable the production of components for space rockets, jet engines, fuel delivery systems and other high value metal parts, which it sells or leases to customers for use in their businesses. The Company also provides support services (“Support Services”) for an incremental fee.
Velo3D’s subsidiaries are Velo3D US, Inc., (formerly known as Velo3D, Inc. (“Legacy Velo3D”), founded in June 2014 as a Delaware corporation headquartered in Campbell, California), Velo3D, B.V., (a sales and marketing office located in the Netherlands) and Velo3D, GmbH, (a sales and marketing office located in Germany). The first commercially developed 3D Printer was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018.
On September 29, 2021, JAWS Spitfire completed the previously announced merger with Legacy Velo3D, with Legacy Velo3D surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAWS Spitfire (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, JAWS Spitfire was renamed “Velo3D, Inc.”, and Legacy Velo3D was renamed “Velo3D US, Inc.”
The shares and Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, prior to the Merger, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) established in the Merger (0.8149 shares of Velo3D common stock for 1 share of Legacy Velo3D common stock, par value $0.00001 before the 1-to-35 reverse stock split). All fractional shares were rounded.
Unless otherwise stated herein or unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to the “Company” refer to (i) Legacy Velo3D prior to the consummation of the Merger; and (ii) Velo3D and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Merger.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and the related notes, which provide a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other interim period or for any other future year.
On June 10, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at a ratio ranging from 1-for-5 and 1-for-50, with the exact ratio to be set within that range by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). On June 10, 2024, the Board approved the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-35 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On June 12, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, effective as of June 13, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 35 shares of the Company's common stock were automatically reclassified and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The par value of the Company’s common stock was not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All of the Company’s share numbers, per share amounts, and related stockholders’ equity (deficit) balances presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the exercise prices, conversion rates and other terms of the Company’s securities that adjusted pursuant to their terms as a result of the Reverse Stock Split have been presented after giving effect to such adjustments.
Revision of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified a formula error and an incorrect hourly rate used in its calculation of variable consideration and the calculation of sales type leases related to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company concluded that the errors were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company has revised its previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion on the revision of the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements.
Notice of Delisting
On December 28, 2023, the Company received written notice from the NYSE that the Company was below compliance criteria pursuant to the continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company's common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. In a letter dated June 28, 2024, the NYSE confirmed that a calculation of the Company’s average stock price for the 30 trading days ended June 28, 2024, indicated that the Company’s stock price was above the NYSE’s minimum requirement of $1.00 based on a 30 trading-day average. Accordingly, as of June 28, 2024, the Company was no longer considered below the $1.00 continued listing criterion.
On July 8, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual because its average total market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, its stockholders' equity was less than $50 million. As of July 5, 2024, the Company’s 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $36.6 million and its last reported stockholders’ deficit, as of March 31, 2024, was approximately $45.5 million.
In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, within 45 days from receipt of the Notice, the Company intends to submit a plan to the NYSE advising it of the definitive action(s) the Company has taken, is taking, or plans to take that would bring it into compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). The NYSE will review the Company’s plan and, within 45 days, make a determination as to whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to come into conformity with the listing standards within the Cure Period. If the NYSE accepts the Company’s plan, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing standards and continued periodic review by the NYSE of the Company’s progress with respect to its plan.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period under the common stock trading symbol “VLD”, subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the plan and other listing requirements of the NYSE. The Notice does not affect the Company’s reporting obligations with the SEC. However, failure to satisfy the conditions of the Cure Period or to maintain compliance with other NYSE listing requirements could lead to delisting.
Going Concern, Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations in every year since inception and expects this to continue for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $385.5 million and cash and short-term investments on hand of approximately $3.2 million.
Management believes that there is a substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and satisfy its obligations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of August 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $8.7 million in accounts receivable, $1.1 million in cash and short-term investments, $17.5 million of accounts payable, and $24.6 million in Secured Notes.
On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a second note amendment (the “Second Note Amendment”) to its Secured Notes (as defined below) with the Investors (as defined below). Pursuant to the Second Note Amendment, the Company agreed to make and made a cash payment of $5.0 million on April 1, 2024 to redeem approximately $4.2 million of aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and a cash payment of $5.5 million on April 15, 2024 to repay approximately $4.6 million of principal of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the Second Note Amendment, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 627,117 shares of the Company’s common stock
that became exercisable 45 days after the original issuance date at an exercise price of $15.946 per share. The Investors may exercise the Warrants by paying the exercise in cash or by reducing the outstanding principal amount under the Secured Notes by an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of the exercise price divided by (B) 1.20.
On April 10, 2024, the Company sold (such sale and issuance, the “BEPO Offering”) an aggregate of: (i) 979,592 shares of common stock and (ii) immediately exercisable warrants to purchase up to 979,592 shares of common stock at $12.25 per share. The offering price per share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $12.25 and resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $12 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the BEPO Offering primarily for funding working capital and capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including repayment of portions of the Company’s Secured Notes.
On July 1, 2024, we entered into a third note amendment to the Secured Notes with the Investors (the “Third Note Amendment”). Pursuant to the Third Note Amendment, the Company and the Investors agreed to defer the July 1, 2024 partial redemption payment of $10.5 million (the “July Redemption Payment”) over a period of ten equal monthly payments commencing August 1, 2024. During August 2024 we received extensions from the Investors for the July Redemption Payment through August 16, 2024.
Further, the Company will need to engage in additional financings to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations in the near-term, through at-the-market sales under the ATM Agreement or other financings. The Company is in discussions with multiple financing sources to attempt to secure additional financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, to provide the necessary interim funding to continue its operations and satisfy its obligations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the Board of Directors commenced a strategic business review process to explore alternatives in order to maximize stockholder value. Potential strategic alternatives actively being explored or evaluated currently include a potential merger, business combination or sale. There can be no assurance that the Company’s strategic review process will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome on acceptable terms, or at all, to provide the necessary funding to continue its operations and satisfy its obligations and if not, the Company will be required to sell assets, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy. The Company's strategic review remains ongoing, with the Board of Directors in discussions with multiple parties.
The Company’s operational priorities include reliability improvements and system uptime for the products previously sold to its key customers. If the Company is unable to maintain system reliability and uptime consistent with the expectations of key customers the Company will not be able to collect outstanding receivables, a significant portion of which are currently past due with customers, or variable consideration contingent on the future usage of 3D Printer systems and it will not be able to collect on contractual amounts owed which are contingent upon successful completion of site acceptance tests.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies and for further information on significant accounting updates adopted in the prior year, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies other than as described below.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Two primary enhancements related to this ASU include disaggregating existing income tax disclosures relating to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |

Basic | | $ | (0.02 | ) | | $ | (4.10 | ) | | $ | (3.55 | ) | | $ | (10.63 | ) |
Diluted | | $ | (0.02 | ) | | $ | (4.10 | ) | | $ | (3.55 | ) | | $ | (10.63 | ) |
The following potentially dilutive shares of common stock equivalents “on an as-converted basis” were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an antidilutive effect:
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three and Six Months Ended | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
| | | | | | |
Common stock warrants | | | 3,111,261 | | | | 375,571 | |
Common stock options | | | 312,125 | | | | 435,928 | |
Restricted stock units | | | 545,759 | | | | 349,348 | |
Total potentially dilutive common share equivalents | | | 3,969,145 | | | | 1,160,847 | |
Total potentially dilutive common share equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes 585,488 shares related to the earnout liability as these shares are contingently issuable upon meeting certain triggering events.

The fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities, the 2022 Private Warrant, the contingent earnout liabilities, the RDO Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants, the 2024 Private Warrants, the BEPO Warrants, and the BEPO Agent Warrants are based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
In determining the fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities, contingent earnout liabilities, and 2024 Private Warrants, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a weekly basis over the applicable periods that assumes optimal exercise of the Company’s redemption option at the earliest possible date (see Note 10, Equity Instruments).
In determining the fair value of the 2022 Private Warrant, RDO Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants, BEPO Warrants, and BEPO Agent Warrants, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value using unobservable inputs including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield (see Note 10, Equity Instruments).

Long-term debt – less current portion | | $ | — | | | $ | 11,941 | |
The Company’s debt consists of Secured Notes entered into with High Trail Investments ON LLC and an affiliated institutional investor (together, the "Investors"). The Secured Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, make investments, transfer assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and merge with other companies). For a full description of the debt arrangement, see Note 9, Debt, in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Pursuant to the Second Note Amendment, the Company made a cash payment of $5.0 million on April 1, 2024 to redeem approximately $4.2 million of aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and made a cash payment of $5.5 million on April 15, 2024 to repay approximately $4.6 million of principal of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest.
On July 1, 2024, we entered into a third note amendment to the Secured Notes with the Investors (the “Third Note Amendment”). Pursuant to the Third Note Amendment, the Company and the Investors agreed to defer the July 1, 2024 partial redemption payment
of $10.5 million (the “July Redemption Payment”) over a period of ten equal monthly payments commencing August 1, 2024. The July Redemption Payment will be paid monthly at a Repayment Price of $1,050,000 with $875,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes redeemed. In addition to the July Redemption Payment, on the first day of each three-month period beginning on October 1, 2024 (a “Partial Redemption Date”), the Company will redeem a portion of the principal amount of the Secured Notes at the Repayment Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless the Investors cancel or waive such redemption. The aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes that will be redeemable on a Partial Redemption Date will be $8,750,000 for a Repayment Price of $10,500,000. During August 2024 we received extensions from the Investors for the July Redemption Payment through August 16, 2024.
The Secured Notes include terms that provide the Investors seniority over other unsecured obligations in any settlement negotiations in the event of liquidation. Additionally, the Secured Notes contain redemption features in the event of default or a fundamental change in control that would make the Secured Notes immediately callable at a predetermined rate as described in the Secured Notes. The redemption features are settled in cash. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not included the effect of an event of default or the effect of a fundamental change in control in the valuation of the Secured Notes. The Company will continue to monitor the likelihood of these events and associated impact on the valuation of the Secured Notes in future reporting periods.
On July 2, 2024, we received a notice of default from the trustee of the Secured Notes, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the "Trustee") stating that the Company was in violation of Section 4.4 of the the indenture dated as of August 14, 2023 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee as of April 29, 2024, due to the Company's failure to timely provide an Officer's Certificate indicating the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Indenture. On July 3, 2024, we submitted to the Trustee the required documents to cure the covenant non-compliance. On July 9, 2024, we obtained a waiver from the Investors waiving this default, related defaults, and the payment of any accrued default interest in connection with these defaults.
The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $0.5 million related to the Secured Notes, which were capitalized upon issuance and are being accreted over the term of the Secured Notes using the effective interest rate method with $0.1 million and $0.2 million amortized to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $0.3 million and were included in Debt — current portion on the balance sheets.
Additionally, the Company is accreting discounts of $17.8 million and capitalizing to the carrying value of the Secured Notes over the term of the Secured Notes using the effective interest rate method with $4.9 million and $8.0 million amortized to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the unamortized discount was $8.6 million, which includes the difference between the principal and the Repayment Price. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $0.4 million and $0.6 million in interest expense, respectively, related to the Secured Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $1.0 million and $0.6 million in interest expense, respectively, related to the Secured Notes.

The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. The Public Warrants became exercisable on December 7, 2021. The RDO Warrants are exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $19.78 per warrant share. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $21.75 per warrant share . The RDO Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable until December 29, 2028 and allows cashless exercise in whole or part.
Private Placement Warrants – Fair Value Assumptions
The fair value assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model for the recurring valuation of the private placement common stock warrant liability were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding RSUs is calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the date outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, there was $24.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years. As of June 30, 2023, there was $37.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.
Earnout Shares––Employees
The Earnout Shares issuable to holders of employee stock options are accounted as stock-based compensation expense as they are subject to forfeiture based on the satisfaction of certain employment conditions. The estimated fair values of the Earnout Shares associated with vested stock options are recognized as an expense and determined by the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the five-year earnout period. The portion of the Earnout Shares associated with unvested stock options are recognized as an expense and considers the vesting continuing employment requirements.

Note 12. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is calculated for an interim period by distinguishing between elements recognized in the income tax provision through applying an estimated annual effective tax rate (the “ETR”) to a measure of year-to-date operating results referred to as “ordinary income (or loss),” and discretely recognizing specific events referred to as “discrete items” as they occur. The income tax provision or benefit for each interim period is the difference between the year-to-date amount for the current period and the year-to date amount for the period prior. Under ASC 740-270-30-36, entities subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions should apply one overall ETR instead of separate ETRs for each jurisdiction when calculating the interim-period income tax or benefit related to ordinary income (or loss) for the year-to-date interim period, except in certain circumstances. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differ from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of valuation allowances expected to be applied to net operating loss carry-forwards which will not meet the threshold for recognition as deferred tax assets.
Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may be involved in various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including intellectual property, commercial, securities, and employment matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2024 , the Company is not aware of any litigation, claim or assessment in which the outcome, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its financial positions, results of operations, cash flows or future earnings.
The Company’s purchase obligations per terms and conditions with suppliers and vendors are cancellable in whole or in part prior to shipment. Non-cancellable purchase commitments (purchase orders) of $12.0 million for parts and assemblies are due upon receipt and are expected to be delivered throughout the remainder of 2024. If inventory is shipped, the Company will accrue a liability under accrued expenses. The Company has no other commitments and contingencies, except for the operating leases. See Note 8, Leases, for further discussion.
Note 14. Employee Defined-Contribution Plans
The Company has a defined-contribution plan intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The Company contracted with a third-party provider to act as a custodian and trustee, and to process and maintain the records of participant data. Substantially all of the expenses incurred for administering the 401(k) Plan are paid by the Company. Accrued salaries and benefits included accruals related to the 401(k) plans the Company offers to its employees. In order to qualify for these plans, employees must meet the minimum age requirement (21 years) and begin participating on their entry date which is the first paycheck date in the month following the month of eligibility described above. Employee and employer contributions are immediately 100% fully vested. The plans offer employer contributions of 3.0% of an employee’s eligible compensation following safe-harbor rules. The Company’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan was $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has paid all matching contributions as of June 30, 2024.

The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2022 was $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The change in contract assets reflects the difference in timing between the Company’s satisfaction of remaining performance obligations and the Company’s contractual right to bill its customers. The Company had no material asset impairment charges related to contract assets in the periods presented.
Variable Consideration
The Company estimates its variable consideration on a quarterly basis based on the latest data available, and adjusts the transaction price accordingly by recording an adjustment to net revenue and contract assets. The Company has recognized the estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur as a result of a change in estimation. There was no revenue related to variable consideration during the three ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. There was no revenue related to variable consideration and $1.3 million in revenue related to variable consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Note 16. Revision of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified errors related to revenue, other assets and contract assets which also impacted the interim periods in 2023 as originally presented in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Additionally, the Company has made adjustments to correct for other previously identified immaterial errors including the classification of stock-based compensation as cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company
concluded that these errors were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no changes to previously issued total cash flows generated from (used by) operating, investing, or financing activities for any of the impacted periods. The Company revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to reflect the corrections of these immaterial errors in this Quarterly Report.
The impact of the revision is as follows:

Note 17. Subsequent Events
Third Note Amendment
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Note Amendment to the Secured Notes with the Investors. Pursuant to the Third Note Amendment, the Company and the Investors agreed to defer the July Redemption Payment of $10.5 million over a period of ten equal monthly payments commencing August 1, 2024.
July Letter Agreement and Warrants
In connection with the Third Note Amendment and as consideration for the deferral of the July Redemption Payment, on July 1, 2024, the Company also entered into a letter agreement (the “July Letter Agreement”) with the Investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that are exercisable on the issuance date at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and expire on the five year anniversary of the date on which the resale registration statement required to be filed by the Company pursurant to the July Letter Agreement is declared effective by the SEC. The Investors may exercise these warrants by paying the exercise in cash or by reducing the outstanding principal amount under the Secured Notes. These warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances.
The warrants were issued to the Investors, and any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be issued to the Investors, pursuant to the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the July Letter Agreement, the Company has agreed to file with the SEC a resale registration statement as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty days after the issuance date of the warrants to register the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. The July Letter Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company, and other obligations of the parties.
Reduction in Force
On August 9, 2024, the Company commenced a reduction in force plan to streamline its business operations, reduce costs and create further operating efficiencies, which affected 63 employees, representing approximately 30% of the Company’s workforce. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $1.1 million to $1.7 million of costs, consisting primarily of personnel expenses such as salaries and wages, one-time severance payments, and other benefits. The majority of the cash payments related to these expenses will be paid out during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Warrant Inducement Exercise
On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant inducement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with certain warrant holders (the “Warrant Holders”) which references the warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) registered for sale under the registration statement on Form S-3 (file No. 333-268346) in the amount of 742,857 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share.
Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the holders of the Existing Warrants agreed to reduce the exercise price of their Existing Warrants totaling 742,857, from $19.78 per share to $2.28 per share. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue registered warrants with an exercise price of $2.28 per share to purchase 1,485,714 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrants”), pursuant to a warrant agreement (the “New Warrant Agreement”). If exercised in full, the Company will receive aggregate gross proceeds up to approximately $1.6 million, before deducting expenses payable by the Company.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections, and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-looking Statements” herein. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified immaterial errors in our previously issued financial statements. We have corrected the amounts as presented in this Item 2 accordingly. Refer to Notes 1 and 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Overview
We seek to fulfill the promise of additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing ("AM"), to deliver breakthroughs in performance, cost, and lead time in the production of high-value metal parts.
We produce a fully integrated hardware and software solution based on our proprietary laser powder bed fusion ("L-PBF") technology, which greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for support structures. Our technology enables the production of highly complex, mission-critical parts that existing AM solutions cannot produce without the need for redesign or additional assembly.
Our Sapphire Family of Printers give our customers who are in space, aviation, defense, automotive, energy and industrial markets the freedom to design and produce metal parts with complex internal features and geometries that had previously been considered impossible for AM. We believe our technology is years ahead of competitors.
Our technology is novel compared to other AM technologies based on its ability to deliver high-value metal parts that have complex internal channels, structures, and geometries. This affords a wide breadth of design freedom for creating new metal parts and it enables replication of existing parts without the need to redesign the part to be manufacturable with AM. Because of these features, we believe our technology and product capabilities are highly valued by our customers. Our customers are primarily original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and contract manufacturers ("CMs") who look to AM to solve issues with traditional metal parts manufacturing technologies. Those traditional manufacturing technologies rely on processes, including casting, stamping and forging, that typically require high volumes to drive competitive costs and have long lead times for production. Our customers look to AM solutions to produce assemblies that are lighter, stronger, and more reliable than those manufactured with traditional technologies. Our customers also expect AM solutions to drive lower costs for low-volume parts and substantially shorter lead times. However, many of our customers have found that other legacy AM technologies failed to produce the required designs for the high-value metal parts and assemblies that our customers wanted to produce with AM. As a result, other AM solutions often require that parts be redesigned so that they can be produced and frequently incur performance losses for high-value applications.
In contrast, our technology can deliver complex high value metal parts with the design advantages, lower costs and faster lead times associated with AM, and generally avoids the need to redesign the parts. As a result, our customers have increasingly adopted our technology into their design and production processes. We believe our value is reflected in our sales patterns, as most customers purchase a single machine to validate our technology and purchase additional systems over time as they embed our technology in their product roadmap and manufacturing infrastructure. We consider this approach a “land and expand” strategy, oriented around a demonstration of our value proposition followed by increasing penetration with key customers.
Recent Trends and Strategic Realignment
During the second half of 2023, we experienced delayed shipments and customer order delays, resulting in an overall decrease in system sales and backlog in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, as a result, lower annual revenue growth than expected. As a result, we believe that our historical focus on revenue growth came at the expense of our cash flow and profitability and our commitment to the highest level of customer service.
Accordingly, in October 2023, we made a strategic decision to realign our operations to pivot from emphasizing revenue growth to optimizing our free cash flow, maximizing customer success, reducing expenditures, and improving our operational efficiency. Since then, we have been undertaking expense reduction and cash savings initiatives as part of a company-wide restructuring and strategic realignment plan (the “Strategic Realignment”) to help conserve working capital. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives included an October 2023 reduction in force, as well as ongoing efforts to streamline facilities, manage working capital, reduce capital expenditures, and reduce overall selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we also implemented new go-to-market and service strategies to rebuild our bookings and backlog pipeline.
As discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there continues to be a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs and satisfy our debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.2 million in cash and short-term investments and $8.3 million in accounts receivable. This amount is insufficient to satisfy the Company's short term obligations including accounts payable of $14.0 million and $24.6 million in Secured Notes as of June 30, 2024. As of August 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $8.7 million in accounts receivable, $1.1 million in cash and short-term investments, $17.5 million of accounts payable, and $24.6 million in Secured Notes.
Our financial condition has caused customers to delay 3D printer orders until our financial condition improves, resulting in delays in 3D printer sales and difficulty building our bookings and backlog pipeline. Timing of customer orders have also been impacted by our customers' ability to secure financing to purchase our products, which continues to be challenging in the current interest rate environment. Additionally, due to our inability to satisfy our accounts payable obligations, we are unable to secure credit terms and volume discounts with our suppliers, causing us to have to pay a premium and/or in advance, for components of our products and/or source components from alternate suppliers at unfavorable terms. Our product margins are negatively impacted by these trends, and will continue to negatively impact our business until our financial condition improves and we can re-establish relationships with our suppliers.
On August 9, 2024, the Company commenced a reduction in force plan to streamline its business operations, reduce costs and create further operating efficiencies, which affected 63 employees, representing approximately 30% of the Company’s workforce. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $1.1 million to $1.7 million of costs, consisting primarily of personnel expenses such as salaries and wages, one-time severance payments, and other benefits. The majority of the cash payments related to these expenses will be paid out during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Recent Debt and Equity Transactions
As of September 30, 2023, we did not satisfy the minimum revenue covenant for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 in our then outstanding $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes due 2026 (the “Secured Convertible Notes”). Since September 30, 2023 through July 31, 2024, we took the following steps to repay and restructure our indebtedness and raise additional capital:
•On November 28, 2023, we (i) made a $15.0 million cash payment, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to the holders of the Secured Convertible Notes to repay $12.5 million of aggregate principal amount thereof, (ii) exchanged the remaining Secured Convertible Notes for (A) $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Secured Notes”) and (B) 285,715 shares of common stock, and (iii) made a cash payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the remaining Secured Convertible Notes that were exchanged;
•During December 2023, we offered and sold approximately 255,472 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million pursuant to our “at-the-market” offering sales agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with Needham & Company, LLC (“Needham”), as agent;
•On December 29, 2023, we issued 1,028,572 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,028,572 shares of common stock (the “RDO warrants”) for gross proceeds of $18.0 million in a registered direct offering (our “Registered Direct Offering”); and
•On December 29, 2023, we made a $25.0 million cash payment, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to the holders of the Secured Notes to repay approximately $20.8 million of aggregate principal amount thereof, and (ii) amended certain terms of the Secured Notes
•On April 1, 2024, we made a cash payment of $5.0 million to redeem approximately $4.2 million of aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, we made a cash payment of $5.5 million on April 15, 2024 to repay approximately $4.6 million of principal of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, we amended certain other terms of the Secured Notes, and we issued the holders of the Secured Notes warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 627,117 shares of common stock.
•On April 10, 2024, we sold an aggregate of: (i) 979,592 shares of common stock and (ii) immediately exercisable warrants to purchase up to 979,592 shares of common stock at $12.25 per share. The offering price per share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $12.25 and resulted in gross proceeds to us of approximately $12 million.
On July 1, 2024, we entered into a third note amendment with the holders of the Secured Notes (the "Third Note Amendment"), which deferred the July 1, 2024 partial redemption payment of $10.5 million over a period of ten equal monthly payments commencing August 1, 2024. Additionally, we issued the holders of the Secured Notes warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
1,650,000 shares of common stock. See Note 17 Subsequent Events in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Notwithstanding the recent debt and equity transactions, as described in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and in Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation—Going Concern, Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there continues to be a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs and satisfy our debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.2 million in cash and short-term investments and $8.3 million in accounts receivable. This amount is insufficient to satisfy the Company's short term obligations including accounts payable of $14.0 million and $24.6 million in Secured Notes as of June 30, 2024. The Company will need to consider and implement significant cost cutting measures, including further reductions in force. We need to engage in additional financings to fund our operations, continue to fund payroll for employees, and satisfy our obligations in the near-term. Without such additional funding, we will not be able to continue operations and may be required to sell assets, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy.
Key Financial and Operational Metrics
We believe that our performance and future success depend on many factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed herein and in the section of the 2023 Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors.”
We regularly evaluate several metrics, including the metrics presented in the table below, to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, make strategic decisions, and establish performance goals for compensation and we periodically review and revise these metrics to reflect changes in our business.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | As of and for the Three Months Ended June 30, | | | As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Revenue ($ in millions) | | $ | 10 | | | $ | 25 | | | $ | 20 | | | $ | 52 | |
Bookings ($ in millions) | | $ | 5 | | | $ | 16 | | | $ | 22 | | | $ | 36 | |
Backlog ($ in millions) | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 15 | |
Bookings ($ in millions): Bookings ($ in millions) are defined as a confirmed order for a 3D printer system in contracted dollars.
Backlog ($ in millions): Backlog ($ in millions) is defined as the unfulfilled 3D printer systems to be delivered to customers in contracted dollars as of period end.
Customer Concentration
Our operating results for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on sales to a small group of customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, sales to the top three customers accounted for 66.4% and 47.0%, respectively, of our revenue. Of the top three customers for the three months ended June 30, 2024, one customer was different from the top three customers for the comparable period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, sales to the top three customers accounted for 53.7% and 33.0%, respectively. Of the top three customers for the three months ended June 30, 2024 all customers were different from the top three customers for the comparable period in 2023.
While our objective is to diversify our customer base, we continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration.
Continued Investment and Innovation
We continue to be a customer-focused company working to develop innovative solutions to address customers’ needs and focus on our customers to identify the most impactful areas for research and development as we seek to further improve the capabilities of our AM solutions. We believe this process has contributed significantly to our development of the most advanced metal AM systems in the world. We believe that continued investments in our products are important to our future growth and, as a result, we will invest in enhancing our portfolio of AM solutions through certain research and development projects based on customer demand.
Macroeconomic Conditions and Other World Events
General economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, international tariffs, social, political and economic risks and acts of war or terrorism (including, for example, the ongoing military conflicts in Israel and in Ukraine and the economic sanctions related thereto), have added uncertainty in timing of customer orders and supply chain constraints. In 2022, supply chain challenges increased our material and shipping costs, resulted in shipping delays and impacted our gross margins. In 2023, we implemented a number of supply chain and manufacturing improvements in response and intend to continue to focus on driving further operational improvements during the remainder of 2024 as well as our Strategic Realignment to reduce operating costs.
Climate Change
Material pending or existing climate change-related legislation, regulations, and international accords could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including: (1) material past and/or future capital expenditures for climate-related projects, (2) material indirect consequences of climate-related regulation or business trends, such as the following: decreased/increased demand for goods or services that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions or are related to carbon-based energy sources; increased competition to develop innovative new products that result in lower emissions; increased demand for generation and transmission of energy from alternative energy sources; and any anticipated reputational risks resulting from operations or products that produce material greenhouse gas emissions and (3) material increased compliance costs related to climate change. In addition, extreme weather and other natural disasters may become more intense or more frequent, which may disrupt our operations or the operations of our suppliers and customers.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue is primarily derived from our AM fully integrated hardware and software solution based on our proprietary L-PBF technology. Our products include Sapphire, Sapphire 1MZ, Sapphire XC and Sapphire XC 1MZ metal AM printer using our L-PBF technology and Assure quality validation software (collectively referred to as the “3D Printer”). Contracts for 3D Printers also include post-sale customer support services (“Support Services”), except for our distributor partners, which are qualified to perform support services.
We sell our fully integrated hardware and software AM solutions through two types of transaction models: a 3D Printer sale transaction and a recurring payment transaction (“Recurring Payment”). Support services are included with a 3D Printer sale transaction and a Recurring Payment transaction. For 3D Printer sale transactions where the support service period has expired, customers may purchase extended support service contracts.
3D Printer sale transactions - can be divided into two categories: structured fixed purchase price and sale and utilization (variable consideration) fee model. In the sale and utilization fee model, customers pay a partial amount upfront to acquire the system, which is less than the full purchase price. This amount is then complemented by an hourly usage fee for the duration of the system's life. The variable payments are recognized when there is an event that determines the amount of variable consideration to be paid.
The timeframe from order to completion of the site acceptance test usually occurs over three to six months. As we scale our production, we expect to reduce this timeframe. Contract consideration allocated to the 3D Printer is recognized at a point in time, which occurs upon transfer of control to the customer at shipment.
The initial sales of 3D Printers and Support Services are included in one contract and are invoiced together. Contract consideration is allocated between the two performance obligations based on relative fair value. This allocation involves judgment and is periodically updated as new relevant information becomes available.
Other revenue included under 3D Printer sales includes parts and consumables, such as filters, powder or build plates, that are sold to customers and recognized upon transfer of control to the customer at shipment.
Recurring Payment transactions - are our leased 3D Printer transactions. We define our Recurring Payment transactions as operating leases. Under the leased 3D Printer transaction, the customer typically pays an amount for a lease which entitles the customer to a base number of hours of usage. For usage above that level, the customer typically pays an hourly usage fee. Most of our leases have a 12-month term, though in some instances the lease term is longer.
Under this model, the customer typically pays a base rent and variable payments based on usage in excess of a defined threshold. Most of our leases have a 12-month term, though in certain cases the lease term is longer.
Support Services - are included with most 3D Printer sale transactions and Recurring Payment transactions. Support services consist of field service engineering, phone and email support, preventative maintenance, and limited on and off-site consulting support. A subsequent Extended Support Agreement is available for renewal after the initial contract period based on the then-fair value of the service, which is paid for separately. Support Service revenue is recognized over the contract period beginning with customer performance test acceptance.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue includes the “Cost of 3D Printers,” “Cost of Recurring Payment” and “Cost of Support Services.”
Cost of 3D Printers includes the manufacturing cost of our components and subassemblies purchased from vendors for the assembly, as well as raw materials and assemblies, shipping costs and other directly associated costs. Cost of 3D Printers also includes allocated overhead costs from headcount-related costs, such as salaries, stock-based compensation, depreciation of manufacturing related equipment and facilities, and information technology costs.
Cost of Recurring Payment includes depreciation of the leased equipment over the useful life of five years less the residual value, and an allocated portion of Cost of Support Services.
Cost of Support Services includes the cost of spare or replacement parts for preventive maintenance, installation costs, headcount-related costs such as salaries, stock-based compensation, depreciation of manufacturing related equipment and facilities, and information technology costs. The headcount-related costs are directly associated with the engineers dedicated to remote and on-site support, training, travel costs and other services costs.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue and our gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. The gross profit and gross margin for our products are varied and are expected to continue to vary from period to period due to the mix of products sold through either a 3D Printer sale transaction or a Recurring Payment transaction, new product introductions and efforts to optimize our operational costs. Other factors affecting our gross profit include changes to our material costs, assembly costs that are themselves dependent upon improvements to yield, and any increase in assembly overhead to support a greater number of 3D Printers sold and markets served.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses represent costs incurred to support activities that advance the development of innovative AM technologies, new product platforms and consumables, as well as activities that enhance the capabilities of our existing product platforms. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals working in our research and development departments, including stock-based compensation, prototypes, design expenses, information technology costs and software license amortization, consulting and contractor costs, and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including depreciation of property and equipment used in research and development activities.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals working in our sales and marketing departments, including stock-based compensation, costs related to trade shows and events, advertising, marketing promotions, travel costs and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including information technology costs and costs for customer validation.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs for individuals associated with our executive, administrative, finance, legal, information technology and human resources functions, including stock-based compensation, professional fees for legal, audit and compliance, accounting and consulting services, general corporate costs, facilities, rent, information technology costs, insurance, bad debt expenses and an allocated portion of overhead costs, including equipment and depreciation and other general and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily consists of interest incurred under our outstanding debt and finance leases.
Gain (Loss) on Fair Value of Warrants
Gain (loss) on valuation of warrant liabilities relates to the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities which are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date.
Gain (Loss) on Fair value of Contingent Earnout Liabilities
Gain (loss) on valuation of contingent earnout liabilities relates to the changes in fair value of the contingent earnout liabilities in connection with the earnout shares, which are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes interest earned on our bank sweep account, gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets, transaction costs related to the BEPO Offering and other miscellaneous income/expenses.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded for any periods presented due to projected losses, and we maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.
We will continue to review our conclusions about the appropriate amount of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. If we were to generate profits, the U.S. valuation allowance position could be reversed in the foreseeable future. We expect a benefit to be recorded in the period the valuation allowance reversal is recorded and a higher effective tax rate in periods following the valuation allowance reversal.

The following table presents the revenue disaggregated by products and service type, as well as the percentage of total revenue.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change | | % |
| | (In thousands, except for percentages) |
3D Printer sales | | $8,679 | | 83.9% | | $23,190 | | 92.3% | | $(14,511) | | (62.6)% |
Recurring payment | | 292 | | 2.8% | | 35 | | 0.1% | | 257 | | 734.3% |
Support services | | 1,373 | | 13.3% | | 1,909 | | 7.6% | | (536) | | (28.1)% |
Total Revenue | | $10,344 | | 100.0% | | $25,134 | | 100.0% | | $(14,790) | | (58.8)% |
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $10.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 58.8%.
3D Printer sales were $8.7 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $14.5 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to a fewer number of systems sold, offset by a change in product mix to include more higher priced systems. The 3D Printer sales also included parts and consumables revenue.
Recurring Payment revenue, structured as an operating lease, was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and was an immaterial amount for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a revenue reduction related to increased bad debt expense in the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Our Support Services revenue was $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in Support Services revenue was primarily due to a decrease in Support Service contracts from a fewer number of systems sold and the non-renewal of Support Service contracts of systems sold prior to June 30, 2023.
As discussed above, due to the impact of customer order delays and our bookings to date, we expect additional contraction of revenue growth in the near term, as we focus on the implementation of our operational realignment initiatives and go-to-market and service strategies. In addition, we believe customers may be hesitant to do business with us because of the uncertainty regarding our current financial situation. In the medium term, we expect the demand for the Sapphire family of systems, primarily the Sapphire XC to drive future revenue growth. We also expect our Recurring Payment and Support Service revenue to increase as the number of systems we have in service increases. As of June 30, 2024, our backlog for firm orders was $17 million for 3D Printers compared to $13 million as of December 31, 2023. We expect our new sales strategy, especially in the defense and aerospace industries, will help us improve our results in the second half of 2024.
In connection with our realignment strategy, we are taking a strategic approach to our marketing and selling efforts to provide an improved customer experience, which we expect will enhance our efforts to introduce our technology to new customers and expand our existing customer network to increase demand.
Cost of Revenue
The following table presents the Cost of Revenue disaggregated by product and service type, as well as the percentage of total cost of revenue.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change | | % |
| | (In thousands, except for percentages) |
Cost of Revenue | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of 3D Printers | | $10,744 | | 81.1% | | $20,052 | | 88.7% | | $(9,308) | | (46.4)% |
Cost of Recurring Payment | | 232 | | 1.8% | | 335 | | 1.5% | | (103) | | (30.7)% |
Cost of Support Services | | 2,265 | | 17.1% | | 2,211 | | 9.8% | | 54 | | 2.4% |
Total Cost of Revenue | | $13,241 | | 100.0% | | $22,598 | | 100.0% | | $(9,357) | | (41.4)% |
Total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $13.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 41.4%.
Cost of 3D Printers was $10.7 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $9.3 million was due to a decrease in number of systems sold for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Cost of Recurring Payment was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This decrease of $0.1 million was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation of the equipment on lease and allocable Cost of Support Services as a result of fewer 3D Printers in service in the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months June 30, 2023.
Cost of Support Services was $2.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cost of Support Services increased by less than $0.1 million, due to the fixed costs associated with field service engineering labor and overhead in June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023.
In addition, field service engineering support cost has increased specifically with regard to increasing sales of Sapphire XC systems and introduction of the Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ systems in the field. We expect this to decrease on a per unit basis as the Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ system performance improves. We also expect our Cost of Support Services will increase with the delivery of more 3D Printer systems to customers.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 128.0% and 89.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by lower system sales offset by consistent fixed manufacturing costs.
As discussed above, we are experiencing increasing component costs from our suppliers due to our current financial situation. We are unable to secure credit terms and volume discounts with our suppliers, causing us to pay a premium, in advance, or source from alternate suppliers at unfavorable terms for our products. This has negatively impacted our cost of revenue across all segments and will continue to negatively impact our cost of revenue until our financial conditions improve.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Total gross profit (loss) was $(2.9) million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, the gross margin was (28.0)% and 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the outsized impact of fixed costs on lower volume of 3D printer sales, to the change in the mix of Sapphire and Sapphire XC system sales, the higher than expected costs associated with the production of the Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ systems, and higher material, labor and overhead costs, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Our gross profit and gross margin are influenced by a number of factors, including:
•Product mix of Sapphire, and Sapphire XC systems;
•Average selling prices for our systems;
•Trends in materials and shipping costs;
•Production volumes that may impact factory overhead absorption;
•System reliability performance; and
•Impact of product mix changes, including new product introductions, and other factors, on our Cost of Support Services
Due to the aforementioned trends in customer orders and component costs, our gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be negatively impacted until our financial conditions improve.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $4.5 million and $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $7.7 million. The decrease in research and development expenses was driven by a $3.4 million decrease in purchased materials, a $2.3 million decrease in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses, a decrease of $0.3 million in miscellaneous expenses, and a decrease of $1.7 million in stock-based compensation .
We expect research and development costs to continue to decrease in the remainder of 2024 due to the maturation of our Sapphire family of systems and reduction in research and development projects due to our Strategic Realignment and to increase in the long term as we continue to invest in enhancing and advancing our portfolio of AM solutions.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses were $4.3 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $1.8 million. The decrease was attributable to a decrease of $0.7 million in stock-based compensation, an $1.1 million decrease in European marketing costs, and a $0.6 million decrease in general marketing initiatives, offset by a $0.6 million increase in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses.
We expect selling and marketing expenses to continue to decrease during the remainder of 2024 as we continue to implement our realignment strategy. During the remainder of 2024, we intend to continue our focus on certain markets that show strong attendance at additive manufacturing conferences to build product awareness.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $8.8 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $1.1 million. The decrease was attributable to a $0.2 million decrease in facilities expenses, and a $0.9 million decrease in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in public company-related expenses in advisory, legal and accounting fees and insurance, offset by a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation.
We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a result of savings from our reduction in force and consolidation of our facilities in late 2023. We continue to focus on our company-wide initiatives to reduce operating costs for the remainder of 2024 as we continue to implement our Strategic Realignment by reducing our general and administrative expenses through reducing our reliance on outside consultants, additional reduction in force activities, managing facility costs and negotiating with vendors for improved pricing.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $5.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the issuance of the Secured Notes.
We expect our interest expense will continue to increase as a result of our Secured Notes.
Gain on Fair Value of Warrants
The change in fair value of warrants resulted in a gain of $25.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was related to the non-cash fair value change of the warrant liabilities driven by the relative change in our stock price.
Gain on Fair value of Contingent Earnout Liabilities
The gain on fair value of the contingent earnout liability was consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other expense and income, net was $(1.3) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other expense was due to transaction costs related to the BEPO Offering.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 due to projected losses, and we maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We will continue to review our conclusions about the appropriate amount of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. If we were to generate profits in the remainder of 2024 and beyond, the U.S. valuation allowance position could be reversed in the foreseeable future. We expect a benefit to be recorded in the period the valuation allowance reversal is recorded and a higher effective tax rate in periods following the valuation allowance reversal.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $20.1 million and $51.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $31.7 million, or 61.2%.
3D Printer sales were $16.3 million and $47.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $31.3 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributed to a fewer number of systems sold, offset by a change in product mix to include more higher priced systems. The 3D Printer sales also included parts and consumables revenue.
Recurring Payment, structured as an operating lease, was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to a revenue reduction related to increased bad debt expense in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Our Support Services revenue was $3.0 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in Support Services revenue was primarily due to a decrease in Support Service contracts from a fewer number of systems sold and the non-renewal of Support Service contracts of systems sold prior to June 30, 2023
As discussed above, due to the impact of customer order delays and our bookings to date, we expect additional contraction of revenue growth in the near term, as we focus on the implementation of our operational realignment initiatives and go-to-market and service strategies. In addition, we believe customers may be hesitant to do business with us because of the uncertainty regarding our financial situation as a result of the Secured Notes. In the medium term, we expect the demand for the Sapphire family of systems, primarily the Sapphire XC to drive future revenue growth. We also expect our Recurring Payment and Support Service revenue to increase as the number of systems we have in the field increases. As of June 30, 2024, our backlog for firm orders was $17 million for 3D Printers compared to $13 million as of December 31, 2023. We expect our new sales strategy, especially in the defense and aerospace industries, will improve results in the second half of 2024.
In connection with our realignment strategy, we are taking a strategic approach to our marketing and selling efforts to provide an improved customer experience, which we expect will enhance our efforts to introduce our technology to new customers and expand our existing customer network to increase demand.

Total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $25.8 million and $46.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $20.9 million, or 44.7%.
Cost of 3D Printers was $20.1 million and $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $22.1 million was due to a decrease in number of systems sold for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, offset by consistent fixed manufacturing costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cost of Recurring Payment was $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This decrease of $0.2 million was due to a decrease in depreciation of the equipment on lease and allocable Cost of Support Services as a result of fewer 3D Printers in service in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cost of Support Services was $5.2 million and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $1.4 million, was primarily attributable to the costs for preventative maintenance, costs incurred to enhance system reliability performance, and field service engineering labor costs due to more 3D Printers in service in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
In addition, field service engineering support cost has increased, specifically with regard to increasing sales of Sapphire XC systems and introduction of the Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ systems in the field. We expect this to decrease on a per unit basis as the Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ system performance improves. We also expect our Cost of Support Services will increase with the delivery of more 3D Printer systems to customers.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 128.4% and 90.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by lower system sales offset by consistent fixed manufacturing costs.
As described above, we are experiencing increased costs from our suppliers due to our current financial situation. We are unable to secure credit terms and volume discounts with our suppliers, causing us to pay a premium, in advance, or source from alternate suppliers at unfavorable terms for our products. This has negatively impacted our cost of revenue across all segments and will continue to negatively impact our cost of revenue until our financial conditions improve.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Total gross profit (loss) was $(5.7) million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, the gross margin was (28.4)% and 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the outsized impact of fixed costs on lower volume of 3D printer sales, the change in the mix of Sapphire and Sapphire XC system sales, the impact of launch customer pricing for Sapphire XC, higher than expected costs associated with the production of the Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ systems, and higher material, labor and overhead costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Our gross profit and gross margin are influenced by a number of factors, including:
•Product mix of Sapphire, and Sapphire XC systems;
•Average selling prices for our systems;
•Trends in materials and shipping costs;
•Production volumes that may impact factory overhead absorption;
•System reliability performance; and
•Impact of product mix changes, including new product introductions, and other factors, on our Cost of Support Services
Due to the aforementioned trends in customer orders and component costs, our gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be negatively impacted until our financial conditions improve.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $9.6 million and $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $13.1 million. The decrease in research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by a $4.8 million decrease in purchased materials, a $4.7 million decrease in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses, a decrease of $0.6 million in miscellaneous expenses, and a decrease of $3.0 million in stock-based compensation .
We expect research and development costs to continue to decrease in the remainder of 2024 due to the maturation of our Sapphire family of systems and reduction in research and development projects due to our Strategic Realignment and to increase in the long term as we continue to invest in enhancing and advancing our portfolio of AM solutions.
Selling and Marketing Expenses

The decrease was attributable to a decrease of $1.1 million in stock-based compensation, an $2.1 million decrease in European marketing costs, and a $1.2 million decrease in general marketing initiatives, offset by a $1.2 million increase in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses.
We expect selling and marketing expenses to continue to decrease during the remainder of 2024 as we continue to implement our realignment strategy. During the remainder of 2024, we intend to continue our focus on certain markets that show strong attendance at additive manufacturing conferences to build product awareness.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $17.6 million and $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $2.5 million. The decrease was attributable to a $1.0 million decrease in facilities expenses, and a $1.7 million decrease in headcount, salaries and employee-related expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in public company-related expenses in advisory, legal and accounting fees and insurance, offset by a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation.
We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a result of savings from our reduction in force and consolidation of our facilities in late 2023. We continue to focus on our company-wide initiatives to reduce operating costs for the remainder of 2024 as we continue to implement our Strategic Realignment by reducing our general and administrative expenses through reducing our reliance on outside consultants, managing facility costs and negotiating with vendors for improved pricing.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $9.4 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the issuance of the Secured Notes.
We expect our interest expense will increase as a result of our Secured Notes.
Gain (loss) on Fair Value of Warrants
The change in fair value of warrants resulted in a gain of $22.7 million and a loss of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was related to the non-cash fair value change of the warrant liabilities driven by the relative change in our stock price.
Gain (loss) on Fair value of Contingent Earnout Liabilities
The change in fair value of the contingent earnout liability was a gain of $1.4 million and a loss of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was related to the non-cash fair value change of the contingent earnout liabilities driven by the relative change in our stock price.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other expense and income, net was $(1.2) million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other expense was due to transaction costs related to the BEPO Offering.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes was recorded for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 due to projected losses, and we maintained a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We will continue to review our conclusions about the appropriate amount of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. If we were to generate profits in the remainder of 2024 and beyond, the U.S. valuation allowance position could be reversed in the foreseeable future. We expect a benefit to be recorded in the period the valuation allowance reversal is recorded and a higher effective tax rate in periods following the valuation allowance reversal.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.2 million in cash and short-term investments and $8.3 million in accounts receivable. This amount is insufficient to satisfy the Company's short term obligations including accounts payable of $14.0 million and $24.6 million in Secured Notes as of June 30, 2024. As of August 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $8.7 million in accounts receivable, $1.1 million in cash and short-term investments, $17.5 million of accounts payable, and $24.6 million in Secured Notes.
We require additional funding to continue operations and satisfy our obligations, including ensuring we have sufficient liquidity for payroll. Without such additional funding, we will not be able to continue operations and may be required to sell assets, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy. The Company will need to consider and implement significant cost cutting measures, including further reductions in force in order to continue operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we experienced less revenue growth than expected due to the impact of delayed shipments and customer order delays, resulting in an overall decrease in system sales in the 2024, however, our backlog has begun to recover with $17 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $13 million as of December 31, 2023. As such, based our bookings to date, we expect revenue to be higher in the second half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2024. Although we expect revenue to continue to recover, we do not have sufficient working capital to meet our financial needs for the twelve-month period following the filing date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, we believe that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation—Going Concern, Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
As of June 30, 2024, we had raised net proceeds of $529.1 million, comprised of approximately $12.0 million from the BEPO Offering, which closed on April 12, 2024, $18.0 million from the Registered Direct Offering, which closed on December 28, 2023, approximately $66.0 million from the offering of $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Initial Notes”), which closed on August 10, 2023, $22.8 million from the ATM offering (described below), $278.3 million from the Merger and related private placement of shares of our common stock (the “PIPE Financing”), which closed on September 29, 2021, and $150.0 million from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock (series A to series D), third-party financing and convertible notes. We have incurred net losses of $28.5 million and $59.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $3.2 million and $31.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $385.5 million and $357.0 million, respectively. Our business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating activities, including salaries and wages paid to our employees, component and sub-assembly purchases, general and administrative expenses, and others.
Our purchase commitments per terms and conditions with suppliers and vendors are cancellable in whole or in part prior to shipment. Non-cancellable purchase commitments (purchase orders) of $12.0 million for parts and assemblies are due upon receipt and will primarily be delivered throughout the remainder 2024. If inventory is shipped, we will accrue a liability under accrued expenses. We have no other commitments and contingencies, except for the operating leases and Secured Notes. See Note 8, Leases, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion.
On the first day of each three-month period beginning on April 1, 2024 (a “Partial Redemption Date”), we will redeem a portion of the principal amount of the Secured Notes at the Repayment Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless the investors cancel such redemption. The aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes that will be redeemable on a Partial Redemption Date will be $8,750,000 for a Repayment Price of $10,500,000.
On July 1, 2024, we entered into the Third Note Amendment with the holders of the Secured Notes, which deferred the July 1, 2024 partial redemption payment of $10.5 million over a period of ten equal monthly payments commencing August 1, 2024. Additionally, we issued the holders of the Secured Notes warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of common stock. See Note 17, Subsequent Events for further information regarding the Third Note Amendment.
We will need to engage in additional financings to fund our operations and satisfy our debt obligations in the near-term as well as to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to repay the Secured Notes, provide working capital, continue to fund payroll for employees, improve our operating infrastructure, and continue to sustain operations. Accordingly, subject to our compliance with the covenants in the Secured Notes, to fund our operations, we will need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds, including seeking additional capital from public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities, electing to repay, restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness, or electing to borrow additional amounts under new credit lines or from other sources. We may also seek to raise additional capital, including from offerings of our equity or debt securities, on an opportunistic basis when we believe there are suitable opportunities for doing so. For example, on November 14, 2022, we filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) that was subsequently declared effective on November 21, 2022, and permits us to sell from time-to-time additional shares of our common stock or other securities in one or more offerings in amounts, at prices and on the terms that we will determine at the time of offering for aggregate gross sale proceeds of up to $300.0 million, of which we may offer and sell up to $75.0 million shares of our common stock from time to time pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions described in the ATM Sales Agreement and SEC rules and regulations.
Additionally, our recent and projected financial results, and the related conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and general concerns among potential investors and creditors about our financial well-being, may make securing additional financing and cost cutting activities on commercially reasonable terms or in an amount sufficient to fund our operations for at least 12 months especially difficult.
More generally, our ability to meet our cash requirements depends on, among other things, our operating performance, competitive and industry developments, and financial market conditions, all of which are significantly affected by business, financial, economic, political, and other factors, many of which we may not be able to control or influence. To the extent that our actual operating results or other developments differ from our expectations, our liquidity will continue to be adversely affected.
As described above, we are undertaking expense reduction and cash savings initiatives as part of a company-wide restructuring and strategic realignment plan to help conserve working capital. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives include streamlining facilities, managing working capital, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing overall selling, general and administrative expenses.
Debt Facilities
As of June 30, 2024, our debt arrangements comprised the Secured Notes, of which we had approximately $27.9 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The Secured Notes bear interest at 6.00% per annum, payable quarterly in cash on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2024, and will mature on August 1, 2026. When we repay principal on the Secured Notes pursuant to the terms of the Secured Notes, we will be required to pay 120% of the principal amount repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest. On the first day of each three-month period beginning on April 1, 2024 (a “Partial Redemption Date”), we will redeem a portion of the principal amount of the Secured Notes at the Repayment Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless the investors cancel such redemption. The aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes that will be redeemable on a Partial Redemption Date will be $8,750,000 for a Repayment Price of $10,500,000.
On April 1, 2024, we entered into the Second Note Amendment to our Secured Notes and agreed to make a cash payment of $5.0 million on April 1, 2024 to redeem approximately $4.2 million of aggregate principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and a cash payment of $5.5 million on April 15, 2024 to repay approximately $4.6 million of principal of the Secured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the Second Note Amendment, we issued warrants to purchase 21,949,079 shares of our common stock that become exercisable 45 days after the original issuance date at an exercise price of $0.4556 per share. The investors may exercise the warrants by paying the exercise in cash or by reducing the outstanding principal amount under the Notes by an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of the exercise price divided by (B) 1.20.
On April 10, 2024, we sold an aggregate of: (i) 34,285,715 shares of common stock and (ii) immediately exercisable warrants to purchase up to 34,285,715 shares of common stock at $0.35 per share. The offering price per share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $0.35 and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $12 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily for funding working capital and capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including repayment of the Secured Notes.
On November 27, 2023, we entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the holders of our then outstanding Secured Convertible Notes. On November 28, 2023, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, (i) we made a cash payment to the holders of $15.0 million to repay $12.5 million of aggregate principal amount of the Secured Convertible Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the remaining Secured Convertible Notes were exchanged for (A) $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and (B) 10,000,000 shares of common stock, and (iii) we made a cash payment to the holders of accrued and unpaid interest on the remaining Secured Convertible Notes that were exchanged.
On August 10, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (as amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliated institutional investors pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, in a registered public offering by us directly to investors, up to $105 million aggregate principal amount of our Secured Convertible Notes. On August 14, 2023, we issued $70 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Convertible Notes to the investors for approximately $66 million in net proceeds, and used approximately $22 million of the net proceeds to repay in full indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. In connection with the repayment of the debt, the Loan Agreement was terminated and is no longer available to us.
We do not hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates. A 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on annualized interest expense.
For more information, see Note 9, Debt, in the notes of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
| | (In thousands) | | |
Net cash used in operating activities | | $(28,492) | | $(58,778) | | $30,286 |
Net cash provided by investing activities | | $5,966 | | $25,600 | | $(19,634) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $490 | | $30,074 | | $(29,584) |
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $28.5 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $28.5 million, non-cash gain of $2.4 million described below, and an increase in net operating assets of $2.3 million. The increase in net operating assets was comprised of an increase from accounts receivable of $1.2 million due to timing of customer payments, an increase from inventories of $3.9 million for Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ system production, and an increase from prepaid expenses of $1.9 million related to insurance and vendor prepayments, offset by a decrease from accounts payable of $2.4 million, a decrease from contract liabilities of $0.3 million, a decrease from other net operating assets of $1.3 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.6 million. The noncash gain of $2.4 million primarily consisted of the the gain on fair value of warrants of $22.7 million, and the gain on fair value of contingent earnout liabilities of $1.4 million, offset by the stock-based compensation expense of $9.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs of $8.3 million and non-cash cost of issuance of common stock warrants in connection with the BEPO Offering of $1.3 million.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $58.8 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $59.5 million, non-cash loss of $25.3 million described below, and a decrease in net operating assets of $24.6 million. The net operating assets decrease was comprised of a decrease from accounts payable of $1.7 million, a decrease from contract liabilities of $9.4 million, a decrease from other net operating assets of $9.2 million, a decrease from accounts receivable of $5.1 million due to timing of customer payments and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $6.2 million, offset by an increase from inventories of $3.5 million for Sapphire XC, Sapphire 1MZ and Sapphire XC 1MZ system production and an increase from prepaid expenses of $3.6 million related to insurance and vendor prepayments. The noncash loss of $25.3 million consisted of the loss on fair value of warrants of $1.7 million, the loss on fair value of contingent earnout liabilities of $7.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $3.0 million and stock-based compensation expense of $12.8 million.
We expect our cash used in operating activities to decrease, driven by our efforts to stabilize our working capital requirements through our expense reduction efforts and cash savings initiatives as part our Strategic Realignment.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $6.0 million, consisting of the sale of available for sale securities of $2.5 million, and maturities of available-for-sale investment securities of $3.5 million.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $25.6 million, consisting of maturities of available-for-sale investment securities of $30.0 million, partially offset by property and equipment purchases of $0.7 million and production of equipment for lease to customers of $3.7 million.
We expect our capital expenditures to decrease in 2024 compared to 2023 as we intend to limit the number of 3D Printer systems as equipment for lease to customers and because we completed the construction of our manufacturing facility in 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.5 million, consisting of proceeds of $10.7 million from the capital raise, and $0.3 million from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, offset by the repayment of the secured notes of $10.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $30.1 million, consisting of proceeds of $15.6 million from the ATM Offering, net of issuance costs, $14.0 million drawn from our revolver facility, $1.6 million drawn from
out secured equipment loan facility and $0.4 million from the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, partially offset by $1.5 million in repayment of equipment loans.
We expect cash provided by financing activities to increase by issuing new equity or incurring new debt to continue operations, subject to our compliance with the covenants in the Secured Notes. Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including our operating performance, competitive and industry developments, and financial market conditions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on Velo3D’s condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(A) of the Securities Act and have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We will elect to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public business entities and nonpublic business entities until the earlier of the date we (a) are no longer an emerging growth company or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Please refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and the recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2025, (b) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (c) the last date of our fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt securities during the previous three years.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited consolidated financial statements.
We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain a smaller reporting company and may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the last day of the fiscal year in which (a) the market value of our voting and nonvoting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250.0 million measured on the last business day of that year’s second fiscal quarter and (b) our annual revenue equals or exceeds $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year or our voting and nonvoting common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700.0 million measured on the last business day of that year’s second fiscal quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We evaluated the development and
selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates and believe that the following involve a higher degree of judgement or complexity and are most significant to reporting our results of operations and financial position and are therefore discussed as critical. The following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. For more information, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report, and Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2024. Based upon this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses have not been remediated as of June 30, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses are as follows:
•We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements. Additionally, the lack of a sufficient complement of personnel resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of our financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries and account reconciliations. Specifically, certain personnel have the ability to both (i) create and post journal entries within our general ledger system and (ii) prepare and review account reconciliations.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting and disclosure for debt and equity instruments. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for the issuance and extinguishment of convertible note arrangements, warrants, common stock, and the accounting for earnout liabilities.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for inventory and related accounts. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over verifying the existence of inventory, the accuracy of purchases, manufacturing costs, and write-offs and the financial statement presentation of inventory and related accounts.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for contract assets and liabilities. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the accuracy and the financial statement presentation of contract assets and liabilities, including variable consideration.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over financial statement preparation, presentation and disclosure commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the appropriate classification and presentation of accounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, current and non-current contract liabilities, accrued expenses and other current liabilities which were recorded prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and as of and for the interim periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. These material weaknesses also resulted in the revision of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and as of and for the interim periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. Also, these material weaknesses resulted in an uncorrected misstatement to inventories and cost of revenue and adjustments to debt – current portion and long-term debt, other income, additional paid in capital, gain on fair value of warrants, interest expense, revenue and contract assets, and loss on debt extinguishment which were recorded prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and accounts receivable and contract assets as of and for the interim periods ended June 30, 2024 . These material weaknesses also resulted in adjustments to interest expense, debt – current portion, additional paid-in capital, warrant liabilities, contingent earnout liabilities and gain (loss) on fair value of contingent earnout liabilities, which were recorded prior to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
•We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective:
▪user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and
▪program change management controls to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting certain financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately.
These IT deficiencies did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all consolidated financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined these deficiencies in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.
Remediation Measures for Remaining Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses remaining as of June 30, 2024, including the following: hired additional accounting and IT personnel to bolster our reporting, technical accounting and IT capabilities; provided ongoing training for our personnel on accounting, financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting; engaged a third-party to assist in designing and implementing controls, including controls related to segregation of duties and IT general controls; designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities to align with our team’s skills and experience and designing and implementing controls over segregation of duties; and designing and implementing controls over the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations. Additionally, we will need to hire and train additional accounting and IT personnel to further bolster our technical accounting and IT capabilities. We have also begun planning for measures to remediate the material weaknesses related to designing and implementing controls over accounting and disclosure for debt and equity instruments, the accounting for the issuance and extinguishment of convertible note arrangements, warrants and common stock; designing and implementing controls over the accounting for inventory and related accounts, the accuracy of inventory, purchases, manufacturing costs, and write-offs and the financial statement presentation of inventory and related accounts; designing and implementing controls over the accounting for contract assets and liabilities, the accuracy and the financial statement presentation and disclosure of contract assets and liabilities, including variable consideration; designing and implementing controls over controls over financial statement preparation, presentation and disclosure commensurate with our financial reporting requirements, the appropriate classification and presentation of accounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; and designing and implementing IT general controls, including controls over the review and update of user access rights and privileges and program change management controls.
We are making progress toward the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The measures that we are taking are subject to continued testing, ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the measures we are taking will fully remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional implementation and evaluation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and take steps to remediate the known material weaknesses expeditiously.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. Refer to Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which contains descriptions of significant risks that have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which is having a material adverse impact on our business.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $3.2 million in cash and short-term investments and $8.3 million in accounts receivable. This amount is insufficient to satisfy the Company's short term obligations including accounts payable of $14.0 million and $24.6 million in Secured Notes as of June 30, 2024.
As described in Note 1 Description of Business and Basis of Presentation—Going Concern, Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the filing date of this Quarterly Report. As of August 2, 2024, the Company had approximately $8.7 million in accounts receivable, $1.1 million in cash and short-term investments, $17.5 million of accounts payable, and $24.6 million in Secured Notes.
Our conclusion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern may be viewed unfavorably by current and prospective investors, as well as by analysts, creditors, customers, and suppliers. As a result, this conclusion has made it more difficult for us to raise the additional financing necessary to continue to operate our business and satisfy our obligations. In addition, this conclusion has made it more difficult for us to sell our products and meet our sales forecasts and retain employees, which may further impede our ability to raise additional financing.
This conclusion has caused customers to delay 3D printer orders until our financial condition improves, resulting in delays in 3D printer sales and difficulty building our bookings and backlog pipeline. Additionally, due to our inability to satisfy our accounts payable obligations, we are unable to secure credit terms and volume discounts with our suppliers, causing us to have to pay a premium and/or in advance, for components of our products and/or source components from alternate suppliers at unfavorable terms. Further delaying payments to our suppliers may cause them to terminate our business relationship, or pursue legal action against our Company for amounts owed. The Company will need to consider and implement significant cost cutting measures, including further
reductions in force. These activities may limit our ability to conduct or grow our business, and may make retaining our employees more difficult, resulting in further employee attrition.
We need significant additional funding to execute our business plan and to continue operations. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we will find it necessary to cease or curtail our business, liquidate our assets, further reductions in headcount, and/or file a petition for reorganization under Title 11 of the U.S. Code in order to provide us additional time to identify an appropriate solution to our financial situation and implement a plan of reorganization aimed at improving our capital structure. This may further seriously harm our business, financial conditions and results of operations. Accordingly, holders of our common stock could lose all or a significant portion of their investment in the event of a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of our Company.
We require additional capital to fund our operations in the near-term, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We need to engage in additional financings to fund our operations and satisfy our substantial debt obligations in the near-term as well as to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to repay our Secured Notes, provide working capital, continuing to fund payroll, develop new features or enhance our products, expand our manufacturing capacity, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, subject to our compliance with the covenants in the Secured Notes, we need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds, including seeking additional capital from public or private offerings of our equity or debt securities, electing to repay, restructure or refinance our existing indebtedness, or electing to borrow additional amounts under new credit lines or from other sources. However, our recent and projected financial results, and the related conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and general concerns among potential investors and creditors about our financial well-being may make taking such actions on commercially reasonable terms especially difficult.
If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely affected by external factors beyond our control, including changes in the political climate, geopolitical actions, changes in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates, market volatility in the trading prices for our common stock and other technology companies, a recession, depression, high inflation or other sustained adverse market event, and the outbreak of epidemic disease. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us in the near term, we will not be able to continue operations. If we are otherwise unable to obtain additional financing, our ability to respond to business challenges and opportunities could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected and we may be required to liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.
If we are unable to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards, the NYSE will delist our common stock, which would negatively affect our Company, the price of our common stock and your ability to sell our common stock.
On December 28, 2023, we received written notice from the NYSE that we were below compliance criteria pursuant to the continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual as the average closing price of our common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. On June 13, 2024, we effected a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of our common stock. On June 28, 2024, the NYSE confirmed that a calculation of our average stock price for the 30 trading days ended June 28, 2024, indicated that our stock price was above the NYSE’s minimum requirement of $1.00 based on a 30 trading-day average. Accordingly, as of June 28, 2024, we were no longer considered below the $1.00 continued listing criterion. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to maintain compliance with this continued listing standard.
On July 8, 2024, we received the Notice from the NYSE that we are not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual due to the fact that our average total market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, our stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million. As set forth in the Notice, as of July 5, 2024, our 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $36.6 million and our last reported stockholders’ deficit, as of March 31, 2024, was approximately ($45.5) million.
In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, within 45 days from receipt of the Notice, we intend to submit a plan to the NYSE advising it of the definitive action(s) we have taken, are taking, or plan to take that would bring us into compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). The NYSE will review our plan and, within 45 days, make a determination as to whether we have made a reasonable demonstration of our ability to come into conformity with the listing standards within the Cure Period. If our plan is not accepted, the NYSE will initiate suspension and delisting procedures. If the
NYSE accepts our plan, our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing standards and continued periodic review by the NYSE of our progress with respect to our plan. If we fail to comply with our plan or do not meet the continued listing standards at the end of the Cure Period, the NYSE will initiate suspension and delisting procedures.
There can be no assurance that the NYSE will accept our plan, that we will be able to comply with the plan, that we will be able to regain compliance with this continued listing standard, or that will be able to maintain compliance with the other continued listing standards of the NYSE. A delisting of our common stock would negatively impact us by, among other things, cause us to be in default on our Senior Notes, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. In addition, delisting from the NYSE may negatively impact our reputation and, consequently, our business.
The terms of the Notes restrict our current and future operations. Upon an event of default, we will not be able to make any accelerated payments under the Notes or our other permitted indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $27.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes outstanding. In addition, we have granted the holders of the Secured Notes the right to purchase up to an additional $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our senior secured convertible notes due 2026 (the “Additional Secured Convertible Notes”) so long as the notice to exercise such option is provided no later than August 14, 2025. We refer to the Secured Notes and the Additional Secured Convertible Notes collectively as the “Notes.”
The Secured Notes contain, and the Additional Secured Convertible Notes if issued will contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest. In particular, the Secured Notes contain, and the Additional Secured Convertible Notes if issued will contain, customary affirmative and negative covenants (including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt, make investments, transfer assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and merge with other companies, in each case, other than those permitted by the Notes) and events of default. Furthermore, we will be required to maintain a minimum of $30.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents under the Additional Secured Convertible Notes, if issued. Further, the Secured Notes require us, and the Additional Secured Convertible Notes if issued will require us, to maintain minimum levels of Available Cash (as defined in the Notes), calculated monthly based on a rolling three-month lookback period beginning with the three-month period ending on December 31, 2023, specified in the Notes. Our ability to meet the financial tests under the Notes can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet them.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the Notes or under the agreements governing any of our other permitted indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow holders of the Notes or the holders or lenders of our other permitted indebtedness, as appropriate, to accelerate the related indebtedness, which may result in the acceleration of other indebtedness to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, such lenders or holders could terminate commitments to lend money, if any. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the Notes or other permitted indebtedness, then due and payable, secured lenders could proceed against the assets, if any, securing such indebtedness. In the event such lenders or holders accelerate the repayment of the Notes or our other permitted borrowings, we will not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. A default would also significantly diminish the market price of our common stock and our public warrants.
In particular, as described in more detail in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Recent Developments,” we were not in compliance with a minimum revenue covenant under our then outstanding Secured Convertible Notes, which required us to repay and restructure our indebtedness thereunder, and we also amended certain terms of the Secured Notes. However, we may not be able to obtain any necessary waivers or amendments or otherwise restructure our outstanding indebtedness on favorable terms or at all to the extent we breach any covenants in the future.
Furthermore, as a result of these restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct and grow our business, or unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. These restrictions may affect our ability to grow and our ability to continue operations in accordance with our strategy.
Servicing the Notes requires a significant amount of cash, and we do not currently have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our obligations under the Notes or our other permitted indebtedness.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or to pay interest on or to refinance the Secured Notes, the up to $35.0 million of additional senior secured convertible notes due 2026, if issued (the “Additional Secured Convertible Notes” and collectively
with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”), or our other permitted indebtedness depends on our future performance and our ability to obtain additional financing, which are subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. As of July 1, 2024, we had $27.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes outstanding, and the terms of the Secured Notes require us to pay approximately $33.5 million (or 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Notes) to repay the full principal amount of the Secured Notes. Unless the holders of the Secured Notes (who are also referred to herein as the Selling Stockholders) cancel such redemptions, we are required to redeem the entire outstanding amount of the Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, between August 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025, with redemption payments being made on the first day of each month in varying amounts.
Further, if we issue any Additional Secured Convertible Notes, unless the Investors agree to further modify the redemption schedule or cancel such redemption payments, the terms of such Additional Secured Convertible Notes would require us to pay 120% of the outstanding principal amount of such Additional Secured Convertible Notes to repay the full principal amount of such Additional Secured Convertible Notes, with quarterly redemption payments, plus accrued and unpaid interest, beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after such Notes are issued and continuing each quarter until maturity in August 2026.
Our business is not currently generating cash flow from operations sufficient to satisfy our obligations under the Notes or our other permitted indebtedness and, in particular, we need to engage in additional financings to fund our operations in the near term, the terms of which may be onerous or highly dilutive. If we are unable to generate such cash flow and obtain such additional financing, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as further reductions in headcount, selling assets, or refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness on terms that may be unfavorable, and possibly liquidation or wind down of our Company. We may not prepay the Notes without the consent of the holders, and our ability to refinance the Notes or our other permitted indebtedness will also depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on the Notes or our other indebtedness.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
ATM Sales Agreement
In February 2023, we entered into a sales agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with Needham & Company, LLC ("Needham"), as agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through Needham, up to $40.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Shelf Registration Statement") and the related prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus, and in connection therewith, we reserved 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ATM Sales Agreement. On January 31, 2024, we filed an amendment to the prospectus supplement increasing the aggregate dollar amount of shares available to be sold from time to time pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement to $75 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold no shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement.
