Thunder Power Reports Unaudited Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thunder Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIEV) ("Thunder Power" or the "Company"), a technology innovator and a developer of premium passenger EVs, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ("Third Quarter 2024").
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
- Revenues were nil, consistent with the same period in 2023.
- Operating expenses were approximately $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year. The changes were primarily attributed to an increase of professional expenses of approximately $0.4 million with the closing of Business Combination and an increase of approximately $0.1 million in insurance expenses for the management of the Company after the business combination, partially net off against a decrease of share-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.2 million.
- As a result, net loss was approximately $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2023.
Wellen Sham, Founder of Thunder Power, commented, "our mission is to power the future of sustainable transportation by creating stylish, innovative and cost-efficient premium EVs centered around differentiated designs and solutions tailored for every lifestyle. With our recent business combination and a forward stock purchase facility set up in August reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 21, 2024, we endeavor to leverage our proprietary technologies and modular designs. This may enable us to be able to produce eco-friendly EVs that prioritize quality, comfort, and performance, allowing us to capture meaningful market share in the growing EV sector in the foreseeable future."
