Outlook

Result Drivers
REVENUE DECLINE - Revenue and cost of sales fell due to the absence of revenue recognized from the RoPower technology license agreement and completed engineering services in the prior year
HIGHER R&D EXPENSES - Research and development costs rose due to increased activities to advance NPM component readiness and design maturity, partially offset by lower regulatory costs after SDA approval
INCREASED G&A EXPENSES - General and administrative expenses rose mainly due to higher compensation from increased headcount and higher organizational costs, partially offset by lower accounting and legal fees
