- Liquidity: $4.91M cash and $9.18M working capital at 3/31; $4.31M NC facility held for sale expected to strengthen cash within 12 months; subsequent dealer floorplan repurchase obligation expected at ~$.546M creates near-term cash use .

- “Our field inventory… has significantly improved… reduced to under 60 boats in our entire dealer network.” (CEO) .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Positive inflection on sequential revenue with a significant beat vs company guidance (+91.7% vs ~+50%), and GM recovery to 14.9% provide evidence of improving throughput and cost control .
- Mix shift to smaller boats tempered ASP, but unit volume ramp (+118% q/q) and OpEx discipline (-21% YoY) narrowed losses; adjusted net loss/month ran ~$333K vs ~$400K guided (beat) .
- Channel conditions are healthier (field inventory <60) and dealer footprint is expanding (six new locations), setting up for continued sequential growth into Q2 (qualitative) .
- Liquidity is adequate near-term with $4.91M cash and $9.18M working capital, but watch for cash uses from the expected ~$0.546M floorplan repurchase and execution on the ~$4.31M asset sale to reinforce liquidity .
- Strategic digital push (BoatsForSale.com/YachtsForSale.com) and a new configurator/AR website can enhance lead-gen and dealer economics, potentially supporting volumes as macro stabilizes .
- Risk monitor: going-concern language persists; tariff risk to motors/electronics; execution on asset sale and continued cost discipline remain critical to sustain the margin/volume improvement trajectory .
Additional Context (Other Q1 2025 Press Releases)
- Twin Vee entered into an agreement to acquire BoatsForSale.com and YachtsForSale.com (third-largest U.S. online boat marketplace), aiming to enhance digital lead generation and offer a lower-cost listing alternative for dealers and private sellers .
