Cyngn Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) reported its Q3 2024 financial results, highlighting key business developments and financial metrics. The company executed its first paid DriveMod Forklift deployment and signed significant commercial contracts, including one with a major automotive service equipment manufacturer. Q3 revenue increased to $47.6K from $25.2K in Q3 2023, driven by EAS software subscriptions. However, net loss remained high at $(5.4) million, slightly improved from $(5.5) million in Q3 2023. The company noted a reduction in R&D and G&A expenses but faced higher costs of revenue due to increased customer deployments. Year-to-date revenue dropped significantly to $61.8K from $1.4M in the previous year. Cyngn's cash and short-term investments decreased to $2.8M from $8.2M at the end of 2023.

Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del terzo trimestre 2024, evidenziando i principali sviluppi aziendali e metriche finanziarie. L'azienda ha eseguito il suo primo deployment a pagamento di DriveMod Forklift e ha firmato contratti commerciali significativi, incluso uno con un importante produttore di attrezzature per servizi automobilistici. I ricavi del terzo trimestre sono aumentati a $47.6K rispetto ai $25.2K del terzo trimestre 2023, trainati dagli abbonamenti al software EAS. Tuttavia, la perdita netta è rimasta elevata a $(5.4) milioni, leggermente migliorata rispetto ai $(5.5) milioni del terzo trimestre 2023. L'azienda ha osservato una riduzione delle spese in R&D e G&A, ma ha affrontato costi più elevati per il fatturato a causa dell'aumento dei deployment ai clienti. I ricavi da inizio anno sono diminuite significativamente a $61.8K rispetto a $1.4M dell'anno precedente. Le disponibilità liquide e gli investimenti a breve termine di Cyngn sono scesi a $2.8M dai $8.2M alla fine del 2023. Nonostante le sfide finanziarie, Cyngn continua ad espandere i suoi canali di vendita e le capacità di prodotto, incluso il deployment del suo tugger DriveMod di nuova generazione da 12.000 lb.
Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) informó sus resultados financieros del tercer trimestre de 2024, destacando los desarrollos clave del negocio y las métricas financieras. La compañía ejecutó su primer despliegue de DriveMod Forklift pago y firmó contratos comerciales significativos, incluido uno con un importante fabricante de equipos de servicio automotriz. Los ingresos del tercer trimestre aumentaron a $47.6K desde $25.2K en el tercer trimestre de 2023, impulsados por las suscripciones al software EAS. Sin embargo, la pérdida neta se mantuvo alta en $(5.4) millones, ligeramente mejor que los $(5.5) millones del tercer trimestre de 2023. La empresa notó una reducción en los gastos de I+D y G&A, pero enfrentó costos más altos de ingresos debido al aumento de los despliegues a clientes. Los ingresos acumulados hasta la fecha cayeron significativamente a $61.8K desde $1.4M del año anterior. El efectivo e inversiones a corto plazo de Cyngn disminuyeron a $2.8M desde $8.2M a finales de 2023.

Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN)은 2024년 3분기 재무 결과를 보고하며 주요 비즈니스 개발 및 재무 지표를 강조했습니다. 이 회사는 처음으로 유료 DriveMod Forklift 배포를 실행했으며, 주요 자동차 서비스 장비 제조업체와의 계약을 포함하여 중요한 상업 계약을 체결했습니다. 3분기 수익은 EAS 소프트웨어 구독에 힘입어 25.2K 달러에서 47.6K 달러로 증가했습니다. 그러나 순손실은 여전히 $(5.4) 백만으로 2023년 3분기의 $(5.5) 백만보다 약간 개선되었습니다. 이 회사는 R&D 및 G&A 비용 감소를 언급했지만, 고객 배포 증가로 인해 매출 비용이 증가했습니다. 연초부터의 수익은 지난해의 1.4M 달러에서 61.8K 달러로 크게 감소했습니다. Cyngn의 현금 및 단기 투자는 2023년 말 8.2M 달러에서 2.8M 달러로 줄어들었습니다. 재무적인 도전에도 불구하고, Cyngn은 판매 채널 및 제품 기능을 확장해 나가고 있으며, 12,000 파운드 DriveMod Tugger의 배포를 포함하고 있습니다.

La société a noté une réduction des dépenses en R&D et G&A, mais a fait face à des coûts plus élevés de revenus en raison de l'augmentation des déploiements chez les clients. Les revenus depuis le début de l'année ont chuté de manière significative à 61,8 K$ contre 1,4 M$ l'année précédente. La trésorerie et les investissements à court terme de Cyngn ont diminué à 2,8 M$ contre 8,2 M$ à la fin de 2023.

"Our third quarter marked meaningful additional commercial traction of our autonomous DriveMod technology," said Lior Tal, Cyngn CEO. "Building on the progress we made with direct sales efforts in the first half of the year, including being selected by Deere to supply the DriveMod Tugger, we have expanded our strategy to increase our channel sales efforts.
"We have also achieved a significant milestone with the first paid deployment of our DriveMod Forklift, an important progression into sales activities after initial R&D and projects focused on funding development."
"Through our OEM partner Motrec, we are able to expand our sales strategy beyond direct sales by leveraging a strong incumbent dealer network while also adding specialized distributors and system integrators like Kennedy Robotics AI and RobotLAB.
"By expanding our sales and distribution collaborations, we are enhancing our sales channels and creating consistent opportunities that strengthen our sales pipeline."
In addition to increasing lead generation and building a more robust pipeline, we also hired Marty Petraitis, a seasoned vet of the industrial automation industry, as our VP of Sales to capitalize on our growing opportunities. Broadly, our sales pipeline has matured into more advanced stages as per the process outlined in our recent update. We are actively converting more Pilot Purchases, creating a larger pool of existing and newly onboarded customers to grow into Fleet Purchases.
We are continuing to see validation of our solution through traction in heavy manufacturing industries like automotive and defense, highlighted by the first deployments of our next-generation 12,000 lb. DriveMod Tugger at customer facilities and multiple new customer contracts and LOIs as outlined above.
The next-gen DriveMod Tugger boasts increased towing capacity and enhanced autonomous capabilities that enable it to support outdoor operations. These improvements have expanded our use cases, broadened the environments where our autonomous vehicles deliver value, and ultimately created new sales opportunities.
Having ramped up the production of our DriveMod Tugger, we have also been able to shift to revenue-generating activities with our autonomous forklift solution. Our first paid DriveMod Forklift deployment marks a key turning point in monetizing the valuable solution offered by an autonomous forklift.
The global forklift market is expected to double to
