Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 31.2% QoQ and 13.7% YTD, driven primarily by a 39.2% increase in 3D Printer sales ($12.1M vs $8.7M in Q2). Recurring payment revenue declined significantly (-76.0% QoQ) due to fewer operating lease transactions.
• Cost Structure: Cost of revenue increased 14.5% QoQ but decreased 8.0% YTD. Gross margin improved significantly from -28.0% to -11.7% in Q2, attributed to product mix and higher average selling prices, though the company remains in a gross loss position.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses decreased 40.4% QoQ and 36.2% YTD due to significant headcount reductions and lower stock-based compensation. R&D and Selling/Marketing expenses saw the largest declines.
• Debt and Liquidity: Total debt increased substantially to $22.5 million (from $5.7 million at year-end 2024) following the issuance of the "January Note" ($5M) and "February Note" ($10M) in early 2025. Cash on hand is critically low at $0.9 million.
• Non-Cash Items: The YTD net loss includes an $11.4 million loss on warrant cancellation related to February 2025 exchange agreements. Conversely, Q2 2024 included a $25.3 million gain on fair value of warrants, which was absent in Q2 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Going Concern Warning: Management has explicitly stated there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Current cash and receivables are insufficient to meet operating needs and debt obligations.
• Financing Needs: The company is actively seeking additional equity or debt financing to fund operations, repay debt, and continue payroll. Failure to secure funding could lead to liquidation or bankruptcy.
• Supplier Relations: Due to financial constraints, the company cannot secure credit terms or volume discounts, forcing it to pay premiums or source from alternate suppliers, negatively impacting margins.
• Customer Concentration: The top three customers accounted for 65.2% of revenue in Q2 2025. The company notes that financial instability has caused some customers to delay orders.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, including issues with segregation of duties, inventory accounting, and debt/equity instrument accounting. These remain unremediated as of June 30, 2025.
• Strategic Agreements: In April 2025, Velo3D entered a Master Service Agreement with Momentus, Inc., receiving Momentus stock in exchange for future services. No revenue has been recognized from this agreement to date.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Runway: Verify the status of ongoing financing discussions and the timeline for potential capital raises given the $0.9M cash balance.
• Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the Secured Notes, January Note, and February Note for immediate repayment triggers or default risks.
• Inventory Valuation: Assess the $38.4M inventory balance against the $24.1M reserve and the company's ability to sell these units given customer payment delays.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on remediation of material weaknesses in financial reporting, which previously led to restatements.
• Customer Concentration: Evaluate the risk of losing the top three customers (65% of Q2 revenue) due to the company's financial instability.
