Revenue Miss: Q3 2025 revenue was $5.8 million, well below expectations due to a key order delay, with management emphasizing this was a timing issue.
Order Delay Explanation: A $3 million EV ARC deployment was postponed because of withheld federal funding, but management expects the order to be fulfilled in the first half of next year.
Gross Margin Pressure: Q3 2025 gross margin dipped to -0.5% due to fixed overhead on lower sales, but would have been 13% excluding noncash expenses.
Cost Discipline: Operating expenses were down year-over-year, driven by efficiency measures and reduced spending, even as the company expands geographically and into new products.
Geographic Diversification: Revenues are increasingly coming from commercial and international customers, with Middle East and European operations highlighted as future growth drivers.
Product Portfolio Expansion: New products like BeamBike, BeamFlight (autonomous drone charging), and advanced batteries are contributing to a more diversified revenue pipeline.
Positive Outlook: Management remains bullish on future growth, citing strong new business opportunities, a healthy backlog, and recurring revenue potential despite near-term headwinds.
