MENLO PARK, Calif., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn Inc. (Nasdaq: CYN) today announced financial results for its first quarter, which ended March 31, 2025. Cyngn received approximately $308k of new bookings for DriveMod vehicles from direct sales during Q1 2025. Continued momentum in the automotive sector , reaching a milestone of executing successful DriveMod Tugger deployments at various stages with five major automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across the U.S. and Mexico. Story Continues Q1 2025 Financial Review: First quarter revenue was $47.2 thousand compared to $5.5 thousand in the first quarter of 2024. Similar to prior year, first quarter 2025 revenue consisted of EAS software subscriptions from DriveMod Stockchaser vehicle deployments. Total costs and expenses in the first quarter were $5.3 million, a decrease of $710 thousand or 11.8% from $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was due to a decrease of $102 thousand in cost of revenue due to the deployment costs being recognized over the life of the won contracts in 2025 vs the costs of initial deployment pilots immediately recognized in 2024. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease of $1 million in R&D primarily driven by capitalizing costs for specific customers and capitalizing costs related to the development of software and a decrease in headcount. This is offset by a $440 thousand increase in G&A, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs reflecting an investment in sales and executive bonuses. For the first quarter 2025, other income (expense), net was $2.4 million compared to $(3.7) thousand in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in income was primarily driven by the fair value measurement of $2.5 million for the warrant liability. Net loss for the first quarter was $(7.6) million compared to $(6.0) million in the corresponding quarter of 2024. First quarter 2025 net loss per share was $(6.60), based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 1.2 million in the quarter. This compares to a net loss per share of $(422.87)[1] in the first quarter of 2024, based on approximately 14 thousand basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Balance Sheet Highlights: Cyngn's unrestricted cash and short-term investments as of March 31, 2025 total $16.3 million compared to $23.6 million as of December 31, 2024. At the end of the same period, working capital was $16.5 million and total stockholders' equity was $22.1 million, as compared to year-end working capital of $22.1 million and total stockholders' equity of $11.6 million, respectively as of December 31, 2024.
