Sustained Cash Burn And Negative Free Cash FlowPersistent multi-hundred-million-dollar cash burn creates a structural dependence on the balance sheet or external capital to fund the manufacturing ramp and software validation. Even with strong liquidity today, ongoing negative FCF raises dilution and execution risk if revenue ramps slower than planned.
Very Low Revenue Vs. Large LossesRevenue remains a tiny fraction of the cost base, so profitability is structurally distant. Large operating losses and deeply negative margins indicate fixed costs and R&D commitments far exceed current commercial receipts, creating a multi-period challenge to achieve sustainable profitability.
Dependency On Partner Timelines And Contract ConversionCommercial scale depends on delivering hardware on time and converting MOUs into firm contracts; partner production delays or failed agreements would materially postpone revenue and utilization. This structural dependency increases execution risk across the multi-year commercialization plan.
