Q: Can you clarify the revenue guidance for 2025, particularly the contribution from new products like the A L four?

We have the infrastructure and resources in place to achieve revenue targets without significant additional expenditures. As we perfect our processes, we expect to increase profitability through efficiency gains.

Q: What is the current mix of online sales across different platforms, and how do you plan to manage it? A: Steven Rossi, CEO: Over 90% of our direct-to-consumer sales are through worksport.com. We avoid platforms like Amazon to maintain brand integrity and focus on quality. We aim to support local dealers, which will be a significant part of our strategy moving forward.
