Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin story is working: record 60.4% gross margin on mix and partnerships; if sustained into peak quarters, this is a key re-rating lever .
- New revenue streams are scaling: $0.30M partnership revenue alongside eCom/wholesale growth suggests a broader monetization engine beyond seasonal skiwear .
- Liquidity risk remains central: cash declined to $3.0M; the company secured $3.39M related-party funding post-Q; going concern language persists—watch financing cadence and ELOC/notes updates for dilution risk .
- Logistics overhaul is a medium-term margin catalyst: EU hub should compress touchpoints and costs, supporting gross margin and delivery speed into winter .
- Seasonal uplift ahead: Q2–Q4 are historically stronger; track wholesale shipment timing and retail contribution as inventory builds for winter sell-through .
- Legal/listing overhang: NYSE compliance plan in place; monitor quarterly progress and any legal developments (PR/consultant claim; former CEO dispute) for headline risk .
- Near-term positioning: Positive momentum on margin and channel mix vs tight liquidity—near-term trading likely driven by winter demand execution, gross margin durability, and financing updates .
