Volcon Inc. (VLCN) today reported its financial results for first quarter of 2022.

Company Highlights:

  • Through March 31, 2022 signed 83 dealers
  • Completed direct to consumer Grunt shipments in April 2022 and have begun shipments to dealers in May 2022

Jordan Davis, CEO notes "We continue to have success signing top tier powersports dealers, expecting to have over 100 signed by the end of the second quarter 2022. In addition, we have completed all shipments of Grunts to our direct-to-consumer customers. Heading into the second quarter, we will focus on supplying our dealers with their initial shipment of Grunts. This is a new chapter in Volcon's history, and we believe we have strong momentum heading into the heart of the offroad selling season. Our Latin America distributors have received their first shipments, with our partners in Mexico opening the first flagship Volcon dealership; customer interest has been strong throughout Latin America. Expanding on our success in the Americas, we recently signed Tropicars as a distributor which opens a large network of customers across the Caribbean region. We have also hired our first sales manager in Canada to begin developing our dealer network. Initial interest in the region is very promising."

Davis goes on to say "We have worked on improvements to our manufacturing process, and we expect to be able to fulfill our dealer and distributor orders over the quarter. We have continued to work on cost reduction efforts for parts and also have identified second source suppliers to help alleviate supply chain issues. Our development of new products, including the Brat, our eBike, and the Runt, a scaled-down version of the Grunt, are progressing well and we expect to launch both of these products in the fourth quarter of 2022. We remain focused on our corporate must-wins including increasing revenue, profitability, and product range expansion. We know challenges remain, but we feel confident in our ability to traverse the challenges we face."

Financial highlights:

  • Revenue: The Company's revenue was $1.2 million for the first quarter 2022, an increase of $0.8 million over total fiscal 2021 revenue.
  • Net loss: The Company's net loss was $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 (fourth quarter 2021 also included an inventory write down of $5.5 million to adjust inventory to its net realizable value).
  • Adjusted EBITDA: The Company's adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was a loss of $6.9 million compared to a loss of $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we reconcile below and define as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on repayment of promissory notes and share based compensation expenses.
