MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn Inc. (NASDAQ:CYN) today reported operational progress for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

In Q3, Cyngn continued executing against its long-term strategy while positioning the business for a more commercial phase of growth. The company extended its financial runway through 2027, providing the capital required to scale deployment efforts, strengthen core technologies, and support expanding customer engagements. To align financial execution with these objectives, Cyngn appointed Natalie Russell as Chief Financial Officer, adding leadership experience in capital allocation, financial planning, and operational controls.

Commercial readiness advanced meaningfully during the quarter. Cyngn expanded its sales organization to the largest in its history and sharpened its go-to-market execution, resulting in material improvements in pipeline generation, meeting volume, and lead quality.

These gains reflect a more disciplined focus on efficiency over volume in demand generation efforts. This maturation in commercial strategy was underscored by the deployment of a DriveMod Tugger at Coats and G&J Pepsi, where the system is now actively automating material transport in a live production environment.

The company also reinforced its technology and compliance infrastructure. Cyngn secured its 23rd U.S. patent covering a modular sensor architecture adaptable to various industrial vehicles, further strengthening its intellectual property portfolio. In parallel, Cyngn partnered with Drata to pursue SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, an important step in meeting the security and data governance requirements of enterprise customers.

With a fortified balance sheet, expanded commercial organization, and ongoing progress in technology and compliance, Cyngn enters the next phase of execution focused on scaling deployments and converting commercial momentum into long-term value creation.

Q3 2025 Nine Month Financial Review:

Year-to-date third quarter revenue was $150.9 thousand compared to $61.8 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. Similar to prior year, third quarter 2025 revenue consisted of EAS software subscriptions from DriveMod tugger vehicle deployments.

Total costs and expenses in the year-to-date third quarter were $19.2 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 11% from $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase was due to a $2 million increase in general and administrative (G&A), primarily due to an increase in personnel costs reflecting an investment in sales and executive bonuses, and a $0.1 million increase in research and development (R&D), primarily due to the change in accounting estimate related to capitalized software offset by the decrease in headcount. This is offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in cost of revenue due to the deployment costs being recognized over the life of the won contracts in 2025 versus the costs of initial deployment pilots immediately recognized in 2024. For the third quarter of 2025, other income (expense), net was $1.3 million compared to $70 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in other income was primarily driven by the $1.1 million fair value measurement of warrants.

Net loss for the third quarter was $(17.8) million compared to $(17.2) million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2025 net loss per share was $(5.20), based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 3.4 million in the quarter. This compares to a net loss per share of $(1,924.23) in the third quarter of 2024, based on approximately 8.9^[1] thousand basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Q3 2025 Three Month Financial Review:

Third quarter revenue was $70 thousand compared to $47.6 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. Similar to prior year, third quarter 2025 revenue consisted of EAS software subscriptions from DriveMod tugger vehicle deployments.

Total costs and expenses in the third quarter were $8.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 53% from $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase was due to an increase of $2.5 million in R&D primarily driven by a change in accounting estimate of capitalized software development. In addition, the company experienced an increase of $578 thousand in G&A, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs reflecting an investment in sales and executive bonuses. This is offset by a decrease of $106 thousand in cost of revenue due to the deployment costs being recognized over the life of the won contracts in 2025 versus the costs of initial deployment pilots immediately recognized in 2024. For the third quarter of 2025, other income (expense), net was $(21.6) thousand compared to $80.8 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in income was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense due to the office lease.

Net loss for the third quarter was $(8.4) million compared to $(5.4) million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2025 net loss per share was $(1.20), based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 7 million in the quarter. This compares to a net loss per share of $(408.30) in the third quarter of 2024, based on approximately 13.3^[1] thousand basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

Cyngn's unrestricted cash and short-term investments as of September 30, 2025 totaled $34.9 million compared to $23.6 million as of December 31, 2024. At the end of the same period, working capital was $35.1 million and total stockholders' equity was $38.7 million, as compared to year-end working capital of $22.1 million and total stockholders' equity of $(1) million, respectively as of December 31, 2024.
