Q1 2026 earnings summary7 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Achieved 74% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in Q1 2026, driven by expansion of Driver-as-a-Service and customer-owned driverless trucks, with 28 vehicles deployed by quarter-end.

  • Announced and closed $100 million PIPE financing from new and existing institutional investors, extending liquidity into Q2 2027 to support growth and driverless deployments.

  • Formed strategic partnerships, including with General Dynamics Land Systems for defense and Bosch for manufacturing scale, and launched new commercial pilots in long-haul and industrial trucking.

  • Surpassed 23,500 cumulative paid driverless operation hours and delivered over 15,600 loads, with customer base growth across long-haul, industrial, and defense sectors.

  • Completed a reverse recapitalization merger in September 2025, resulting in $171.2 million in net proceeds and transition to public company status.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 revenue reached $1.8 million, up 74% quarter-over-quarter and 24% year-over-year, driven by DaaS growth.

  • Net income for Q1 2026 was $26.5 million, compared to a net loss of $128.2 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to significant non-cash gains from changes in fair value of financial instruments.

  • GAAP operating loss was $37.9 million; non-GAAP operating loss (excluding stock-based compensation) was $31.8 million.

  • Free cash flow for Q1 2026 was negative $35.0 million, outperforming expectations.

  • Ended Q1 with $90.2 million in cash and equivalents; post-PIPE, pro forma liquidity is approximately $185 million.

Outlook and guidance

  • Cash runway, including PIPE proceeds, expected to fund operations into Q2 2027; additional capital will be required thereafter.

  • Improved full-year 2026 free cash flow guidance to -$155 million to -$165 million, reflecting revenue growth and lower hardware costs.

  • Targeting a long-haul driverless launch for late 2026, with similar truck deployment numbers in both halves of 2026 and acceleration expected in 2027.

  • Plans to scale DaaS deployments with Atlas and pursue new customer and international opportunities.

  • Ongoing investment in R&D and operational scaling anticipated to drive future losses.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
