Gauzy reports Q1 EPS (58c) vs. ($2.51) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $22.4M vs. $24.7M last year. Eyal Peso, Gauzy (GAUZ) Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Demand for our products remains strong with our multi-year contracted backlog continuing to build and quarter end backlog purchase orders up $5 million since the start of the year. We’re particularly encouraged by new commitments and collaborations with industry leading customers and partners such as Air France and Daimler. Our solid start to 2025 revenues was temporarily upended by brief disruptions from tariff and operational uncertainty many of our customers encountered towards the end of the quarter. We have worked diligently with customers since that time to align on production timetables and firm up our delivery schedule for the coming quarters. Several existing customers have recently surpassed their minimum commitments and there have been no material order changes or cancellations.” Peso continued, “We remain committed to driving profitable growth as demonstrated by a modest improvement in gross margin during a dynamic period. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA largely reflects our decision to preserve operational overhead to support a swift resurgence with our customers. We are encouraged by the strong start to the second quarter. We look forward to that momentum accelerating into the second half of the year.” Peso concluded, “We are pleased to move forward with a strengthened financial position bolstered by a new debt facility under more favorable terms. To date, tariffs have had a minimal impact on our input costs owing to the Free Trade Agreement between Israel and the US and our strategically located global operations, including a state-of-the-art production facility in Florida already serving all of our divisions. We are reaffirming our 2025 guidance for both revenues and profitability. The resilience of our business and our team’s ability to execute in any market condition makes us excited for what the rest of the year has in store for Gauzy.”
