Analysis · XOS · Manufacturing
Second-quarter revenue fell 74% year-over-year to $4.7 million as the company shifted focus to powertrain and hub production, while gross margin improved to 12.1%. The full-year revenue guidance was revised down to $35-43 million, with unit deliveries now expected at 250-350, reflecting deferred orders rather than cancellations. With only $13.2 million in cash and a going-concern warning already on file, the reduced outlook and continued operating losses keep liquidity pressure high.
