Analysis · XE · Manufacturing
The second quarter brought a wider net loss of $105.3 million, up from $88.8 million a year earlier, and the six-month deficit reached $271.6 million. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting remains unremediated, a governance red flag that warrants a score of at least 8. The $1.1 billion in IPO proceeds has lifted cash to $1.15 billion, providing runway, but the company continues to burn cash at a significant rate.
