Unnamed Analyst's questions to Innventure Inc (INV) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
An unnamed analyst questioned the expected inflection in revenue growth for the second half of the year, asking for more detail on the traction at the Excelsius subsidiary, particularly with its OEM partner and the shift towards production engagements. The analyst also inquired about the potential scale of the first hyperscaler proof-of-concept, the company's manufacturing readiness, and management's comfort with the current balance sheet and cash position.
Answer
CEO Bill Haskell and Excelsius CEO Josh Clayman clarified that bookings are the key indicator due to long delivery lead times. Clayman confirmed an inflection in bookings driven by faster intake and larger average order sizes as proof-of-concept orders convert to production engagements. He described the hyperscaler opportunity as potentially 'big' and indicative of a broader market trend. Clayman also detailed a hybrid manufacturing strategy to ensure scalability. CFO Dave Yablonowski concluded by expressing a 'high degree of comfort' in the company's access to capital.
