WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 June 30, 2024 ("Second Quarter 2024").
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Revenues were nil, consistent with the same period in 2023.
Operating expenses were approximately $1.3 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year. This increase was mainly due to a one-time share-based compensation expense of about $1.0 million from issuing shares to three independent directors of Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation ("FLFV") as part of the Company's recent business combination. This rise was partially offset by a decrease of around $0.5 million in share-based settlement expenses compared to the same quarter last year, when shares were issued to its controlling shareholder to settle liabilities.
As a result, net loss was approximately $1.3 million, compared to $0.7 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 as summarized below and 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."
Recent Developments
On June 21, 2024, the Company successfully completed its business combination with FLFV, marking a significant milestone in its growth strategy. Following the merger, its common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "AIEV."
On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Westwood Capital Group LLC, allowing the Company to issue and sell up to $100 million in newly issued shares of common stock over a 36-month period, subject to specific conditions, including the filing and effectiveness of a resale registration statement with the SEC.
