- Three-phase product rollout strategy for Smart Window Inserts

Crown's Q3 guidance reaffirmation of
Crown's progress in mastering technology for Dynamic Tint™ film is a significant technological milestone. The company's phased approach to product development and rollout - Alpha, Beta and Charlie - is a prudent strategy for a complex smart glass product. This method allows for iterative improvements based on real-world feedback, potentially reducing long-term risks. However, the extended timeline to full product release in 2026 suggests that the technology may still require substantial refinement. Investors should monitor the company's ability to meet its stated milestones, particularly the initial delivery of the Gen 1 Alpha product "in the coming months." The success of this rollout will be important in validating the commercial viability of Crown's smart glass technology.
Crown's focus on major cities for its initial product rollout is a strategic move to target high-value markets. The company's plan to work closely with select customers to define rollout plans demonstrates a customer-centric approach, which could lead to product improvements and stronger market fit. However, the smart glass market is competitive, with established players already present. Crown's success will depend on its ability to differentiate its product and demonstrate clear value propositions to building owners and managers. The extended timeline to full product release in 2026 may give competitors time to advance their own technologies, potentially eroding Crown's market opportunity. Investors should closely monitor customer adoption rates and feedback during the Alpha and Beta phases as indicators of long-term market potential.

Film Division Progress Update
In the first quarter, the development team overcame a significant hurdle in Crown’s mastering technology for the Dynamic Tint™ film. With the improved mastering process, the team has been working diligently to prepare the technology for production. The Company has made progress in testing and improving the insert designs as well as establishing the pilot capability to integrate the film into Crown’s Smart Window Inserts.
“I am pleased to report that significant progress in launching the Dynamic Tint™ film and Crown Smart Window Insert has been made throughout the year. The team continues to make strides towards the initial delivery of our Gen 1 Alpha product in the coming months which will commence our three-phase product rollout strategy,” stated Doug Croxall, Chairman and CEO.
The Gen 1 Alpha product release will include a targeted delivery focusing on a select group of customers in major cities across the US. Crown will work with the initial customers to define a rollout plan that maximizes the benefit of the Crown Smart Window Inserts within individual buildings and across their building portfolio. These customers will provide invaluable feedback to improve Crown’s products and the customer experience.
In the first half of 2025, Crown plans to release its Gen 1 Beta product with a second wave of features and a further integrated control ecosystem. During the Beta phase, Crown will finalize the first generation of its products in anticipation of larger manufacturing capacity.
In the latter half of 2025, the Company will enter its final rollout phase, the Charlie phase, where Crown plans to establish its scalable manufacturing capability. Establishing manufacturing capabilities is the last step before Crown’s full product release, which is anticipated for 2026.
“As we near the Alpha phase of our rollout strategy, our team is working through the many details required to successfully bring new products to market. Continuing into 2025, we are excited to release additional generations of our Smart Window Insert and expand our installations as we ramp up our manufacturing capacity. We look forward to providing regular updates on our rollout progress,” concluded Mr. Croxall.
