Gauzy shares rise as Q3 loss narrows, revenue growth strong

Investing.com -- Gauzy Ltd (NASDAQ:GAUZ) reported a narrower-than-expected third-quarter loss on Thursday, as the vision and light control technologies company saw strong revenue growth across its segments.

The company's shares rose 6.8% in response to the results.

Gauzy posted an adjusted net loss of $0.29 per share for the third quarter, beating analyst estimates of a $0.35 per share loss. Revenue surged 24.6% YoY to $23.3 million, though it fell short of the $25.7 million consensus estimate.

The company's Safety-Tech division was a standout performer, with revenue jumping 68.1% YoY to $11.2 million. The Architecture division also saw solid growth, with revenue up 21% to $3.8 million.

However, the Aeronautics division experienced a 7.6% decline in revenue to $7.8 million due to some deliveries shifting to future quarters.

"Our third quarter revenue was in line with our pre-announced expectations, with strong 24.6% growth reflecting our premier position as a global leader in vision and light control technologies," said Eyal Peso, Gauzy's Co-Founder and CEO.

Gauzy reiterated its fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $28 million to $34 million, compared to the analyst consensus of $33.6 million. The company noted that approximately $4 million in deliveries originally slated for Q3 are now expected to be fulfilled in Q4 and early 2025.

The company highlighted several key business milestones, including a 250% YoY increase in orders from Yutong, the world's largest bus manufacturer, and a major deal to supply smart glass technology for Ferrari (NYSE:RACE)'s first four-seater vehicle.

As of September 30, Gauzy had total available liquidity of $44.4 million, including $9.4 million in cash and a $35 million undrawn credit facility.
