Estimates Context

• Consensus coverage appears limited; S&P Global did not show quarterly EPS or revenue consensus for Q2 2025. Results are therefore not benchmarked to Street estimates [GetEstimates].
• Actuals vs. consensus (S&P Global):

Where estimates may adjust: Given minimal revenue and continued operating losses, any initiation/expansion of sell‑side coverage would likely focus on FX commercialization milestones, financing runway, and unit economics rather than near‑term EPS.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• FX execution is the core narrative: >4,000 paid non‑binding pre‑orders by Q2 and >10,000 by July 31, plus trial production at Hanford, create tangible commercialization markers to watch for YE off‑line and first roll‑offs .
• Financing runway improved: $55.1M 6M inflows vs. $43.6M 6M operating outflows and ~$105M financing commitments underpin liquidity; monitor closings, dilution, and cost of capital .
• Near‑term P&L still loss‑heavy: Q2 net loss from operations $48.1M; minimal revenue highlights dependence on capital until FX revenue begins; cost discipline is evident via OpEx down ~29% YoY .
• Legal/regulatory overhang: SEC Wells Notices add headline risk; outcomes could affect capital market access—factor into risk premia and position sizing .
• Strategic optionality: EAI + Crypto strategy and C10 Treasury plan may diversify capital structure and narrative, but carry regulatory and execution risks; treat as speculative upside until funded and operational .
• Watch Q3 milestones: Middle East delivery prep, AI voice assistant rollout, FX equipment installation/commissioning, and continued pre‑order momentum; these are potential stock catalysts .
• Medium‑term thesis: If FX hits year‑end off‑line and early roll‑offs while maintaining financing discipline, the story can transition from capital markets to operations/units, supporting re‑rating on execution; failure to meet milestones or adverse SEC outcomes would likely pressure the equity.
