The flurry of hybrid contract/agreements announced this year encouraged. They should carry on doing that, it seems to be the ‘sales’ MO to settle on relatively small initial orders followed by a non-committal agreement for the balance of the headline ‘value’ - IF those agreements are met.
There are at least two agreements which are expected to see 10,000 (each) units delivered this year - and we’re not seeing commensurate orders confirmed - unless those 4,000 monthly productions are ongoing and completely sold out every month, in which case there’ll need to be more updates.
Revenues to profits ‘soon’ depends on the margin - which will be poor/negligible in the short term - IF the leasing model is being adopted. Information on how these contract/agreements are being funded has in my brief reading, been conspicuous in its absence - as is the BoD’s approach to their CULN conundrum.
Lots of scope for more clarity. Two quiet months isn’t very reflective of so much going on, is it?
