Market cap: CA$11.5m (US$8.28m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach.

The pilot project is a key step towards commercialization and enables a cost-effective powertrain that supports the mission to reduce costs in commercial electric vehicles, bringing electric vehicles to parity with combustion engines. Exro's 120a propulsion system, controlled by the Coil Driver inverter, can increase system efficiency and reduce costs. By optimizing the performance of powertrains with right-sized, differentiating technology, the result is real-world driving with unparalleled efficiency. The integration offers flexibility in packaging, allowing multiple truck bed configurations from the existing 173" platform currently in production to a 150" wheelbase in demand by large national fleets under development for release to customers by First Quarter 2025. The transportation sector targets significant emission reduction targets. The goals behind the project align with the regulatory landscape shaped by the Advanced Clean Truck ("ACT") and Advanced Clean Fleet ("?") standards. These regulations, adopted in California and several other states, mandate a gradual increase in zero-emission vehicles ("ZEVs") in commercial fleets starting from 2024. By incorporating Coil Drive inverter technology, Exro is contributing to the broader adoption of ZEVs. This collaboration supports compliance with the ACT and ACF regulations and promotes emissions reduction from the commercial transportation sector. The enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Coil Driver-enabled propulsion system make electric trucks a viable option for fleet operators, accelerating the transition to cleaner transportation solutions.Major Estimate Revision • May 31Consensus revenue estimates increase by 13%, EPS downgradedThe consensus outlook for fiscal year 2024 has been updated. 2024 revenue forecast increased from CA$123.5m to CA$139.1m.

Files Two New U.S. Provisional Patent ApplicationsExro Technologies Inc. announced a corporate update regarding two new patent applications strengthening its intellectual property ("IP") position. In addition to prioritizing delivery of the Company's motor and battery control products, Exro has been diligently working on advancing several new technologies, which includes two new U.S. provisional patent applications on an electric vehicle powertrain architecture. The Company's first U.S. provisional application builds on the Company's Coil Driver and Cell Driver™ foundation by combining its two advanced power electronics capabilities (motor and battery control) with predictive control algorithms to deliver significant benefits to EV propulsion. This includes up to 2x increase in battery cell life, seamless integration of fuel cells without requiring additional DC-DC conversion, high level of fault tolerance, as well as the benefits that Coil Driver™ and Cell Driver™ bring individually, including range and system performance increase. While there is growing market demand for hydrogen fuel cell applications, adoption is limited by overall costs; the patent presents a solution to reduce costs and increase performance in these applications. Exro's second U.S. provisional application is directed to a harmonic motor controller or current source. Today, what is considered state-of-the-art motor control is field-oriented control ("FOC"). FOC measures a motor current and calculates the right voltage to apply to the machine to control current and torque. Though a strong concept, it presents key limitations in addressing real-world motor control challenges, particularly motor harmonics. In contrast, Exro's technology replaces the calculation of the switch states performed by FOC with a proprietary algorithm to greatly simplify motor control. As a result, the technology demonstrates high fault tolerance, responds dynamically to load or line changes, and ultimately improves harmonics across a wide variety of applications. This AC controller technology presents broad applicability to any scenario where DC-to-AC conversion is required. While Exro will continue to use trade secrets to protect proprietary software and algorithms, it will look to bolster software-related patent filings in the coming quarters.Price Target Changed • Jun 19Price target decreased by 9.1% to CA$3.00Down from CA$3.30, the current price target is an average from 2 analysts.

UL certification is globally recognized as the gold standard in product safety testing for energy storage, with certification required for all energy storage systems prior to connecting to the grid in North America. The tests were conducted by ESRG Lab, industry leaders in product testing, and witnessed by Intertek, a leading certification provider to industries worldwide. Results of the testing demonstrated that Exro's Cell Driver™ significantly surpassed the industry's UL9540A requirements, considered one of the primary standards for energy storage safety. Safety is a major concern and focus for the battery storage industry. While fires are rare, when they do occur, they pose considerable risk given the hazardous and volatile nature of the battery chemicals involved. The UL9540A test is designed to assess an energy storage system's ability to limit the spread of a potential fire through thermal runaway (i.e., fire propagating from one defective battery cell to others). The test involves applying a heating plate to a battery cell to artificially induce a thermal runaway event whereby the fire would spread to adjacent cells within the module under test and the energy system. Key conclusions from the independent third-party ESRG Lab report, and certified by Intertek, are summarized below: "Flaming was observed during the test, and it was within the module; however, the size of fire was too small to detect through the calorimeter used for the test.""Total smoke release from the venting point to the end of the measuring at. Total 37688 Seconds." "Thermal runaway is contained by module design."These results highlight the exceptional safety performance of Exro's Cell Driver™. More than 10 hours (37,688 seconds) was required to achieve battery module fire propagation as per the UL9540A test plan, a significant amount of time for this test. Exro's Cell Driver™ contains twenty-four modules, each module containing nine individual cells, and at the end of the test period the fire remained too small to detect and was contained within a single module. Importantly, due to the Cell Driver's design architecture and cooling features, test technicians were required to apply two additional heating plates to induce thermal runaway. Analogous to how Exro's Coil Driver™ technology for electric vehicles ("EV") expands the capabilities of electric motors given an ability to control an electric motor through the power electronics inverter down to the individual coil level, Exro's Cell Driver™ technology expands the capabilities of batteries by enabling cell level control through an innovative battery management inverter combined with advanced cell control software. With an ability to control energy at the cell level, Exro's Cell Driver™ can optimize batteries for health and performance, extending battery life and permitting stationary energy storage systems to operate more efficiently. While most energy storage systems control at a module level, and some systems monitor to a cell level, the Cell Driver™ introduces next-generation innovation to dynamically monitor and control at a cell level. Active cell balancing across Exro's Cell Driver™ enables the charging and discharging of battery cells based on their individual state-of-charge and state-of-health, while matching power demand and power quality. The solution is optimized for maximum cell lifetime, while enabling micro-protection mechanisms for enhanced safety and uninterrupted operations. These mechanisms dynamically isolate defected cells without disruptions to system operations, thereby detecting and eliminating potential thermal runaway events before they could occur. As the world moves toward higher adoption rates in the electrification transition, one of the greatest challenges that will need to be addressed in the next 5-10 years is the supply of batteries. While applicable for new batteries, the primary objective of Exro's Cell Driver™ technology is to provide an effective solution for second-life applications, providing significant cost savings by reviving and utilizing used EV and telecom batteries for a second-life application. Enabling reuse of these cells is critical to reducing the environmental and climate change impacts associated with battery recycling and disposal and offering a real-world solution that leads the way to a circular electrified economy. UL is widely recognized as the long-time safety science leader and the organization's expertise provides credibility to regulators and the broader marketplace. UL certifications demonstrate that products have been tested to applicable industry-wide standards. Over the course of the next seven months, Exro's Cell Driver™ technology will be tested through a host of these standards with the end goal to fully certify Exro's Cell Driver™ as a deployed commercial and industrial product per North American regulations and to receive UL9540 certification. In parallel with the UL certification process, Exro has begun marketing the Cell Driver™ and working to secure first pilots and orders with commercial and industrial distribution partners. These items can be advanced ahead of receiving UL certification. The company is in active discussions with potential distribution partners and anticipates additional details to be announced in the near future. By securing partnerships while working towards UL certification, Exro can be well positioned to ensure the commercialization and delivery of Cell Driver™ products to customers beginning in H1/23.Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Sep 25Chief Finance Officer exercised options to buy CA$158k worth of stock.On the 21st of September, William Meekison exercised options to buy 200k shares at a strike price of around CA$0.28, costing a total of CA$56k.

New Risk • Sep 04New major risk - Market cap sizeThe company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$11.5m (US$8.28m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$53m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (21% average weekly change). Negative equity (-CA$75m). Earnings have declined by 67% per year over the past 5 years.

Learns of Threatened Lawsuit Filed in the Court of the King's Bench, AlbertaExro Technologies Inc. has learned of a threatened class action lawsuit in respect of which a statement of claim has been filed in the Court of the King's Bench, Alberta. Exro has not yet been served with the statement of claim but anticipates this will happen shortly.

お知らせ • Aug 14Exro Advances Medium Duty Battery Electric Powertrain Integration with Coil Driver™ ProjectExro Technologies Inc. announced progression in its integration project of Exro's Coil Driver™ inverter technology with Exro's proprietary EV propulsion system that powers SEA 5e, a Class 5 Battery Electric Truck that is built on Hino's Class 5 Rolling Cab Chassis. The pilot project is a key step towards commercialization and enables a cost-effective powertrain that supports the mission to reduce costs in commercial electric vehicles, bringing electric vehicles to parity with combustion engines. Exro's 120a propulsion system, controlled by the Coil Driver inverter, can increase system efficiency and reduce costs. By optimizing the performance of powertrains with right-sized, differentiating technology, the result is real-world driving with unparalleled efficiency. The integration offers flexibility in packaging, allowing multiple truck bed configurations from the existing 173" platform currently in production to a 150" wheelbase in demand by large national fleets under development for release to customers by First Quarter 2025. The transportation sector targets significant emission reduction targets. The goals behind the project align with the regulatory landscape shaped by the Advanced Clean Truck ("ACT") and Advanced Clean Fleet ("?") standards. These regulations, adopted in California and several other states, mandate a gradual increase in zero-emission vehicles ("ZEVs") in commercial fleets starting from 2024. By incorporating Coil Drive inverter technology, Exro is contributing to the broader adoption of ZEVs. This collaboration supports compliance with the ACT and ACF regulations and promotes emissions reduction from the commercial transportation sector. The enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Coil Driver-enabled propulsion system make electric trucks a viable option for fleet operators, accelerating the transition to cleaner transportation solutions.

New Risk • Apr 07New major risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 130% This is considered a major risk.

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.5% per year for the foreseeable future.

お知らせ • Jun 23Exro Technologies Inc. Files Two New U.S. Provisional Patent ApplicationsExro Technologies Inc. announced a corporate update regarding two new patent applications strengthening its intellectual property ("IP") position. In addition to prioritizing delivery of the Company's motor and battery control products, Exro has been diligently working on advancing several new technologies, which includes two new U.S. provisional patent applications on an electric vehicle powertrain architecture. The Company's first U.S. provisional application builds on the Company's Coil Driver and Cell Driver™ foundation by combining its two advanced power electronics capabilities (motor and battery control) with predictive control algorithms to deliver significant benefits to EV propulsion. This includes up to 2x increase in battery cell life, seamless integration of fuel cells without requiring additional DC-DC conversion, high level of fault tolerance, as well as the benefits that Coil Driver™ and Cell Driver™ bring individually, including range and system performance increase. While there is growing market demand for hydrogen fuel cell applications, adoption is limited by overall costs; the patent presents a solution to reduce costs and increase performance in these applications. Exro's second U.S. provisional application is directed to a harmonic motor controller or current source. Today, what is considered state-of-the-art motor control is field-oriented control ("FOC"). FOC measures a motor current and calculates the right voltage to apply to the machine to control current and torque. Though a strong concept, it presents key limitations in addressing real-world motor control challenges, particularly motor harmonics. In contrast, Exro's technology replaces the calculation of the switch states performed by FOC with a proprietary algorithm to greatly simplify motor control. As a result, the technology demonstrates high fault tolerance, responds dynamically to load or line changes, and ultimately improves harmonics across a wide variety of applications. This AC controller technology presents broad applicability to any scenario where DC-to-AC conversion is required. While Exro will continue to use trade secrets to protect proprietary software and algorithms, it will look to bolster software-related patent filings in the coming quarters.

お知らせ • Sep 28Exro Technologies Energy Storage System Demonstrates Industry-Leading Performance in Phase One UL Certification TestsExro Technologies Inc. announced that the company's Cell Driver™ Energy Storage System, has successfully completed large-scale module fire testing and the first major phase towards product certification from Underwriters Laboratories. UL certification is globally recognized as the gold standard in product safety testing for energy storage, with certification required for all energy storage systems prior to connecting to the grid in North America. The tests were conducted by ESRG Lab, industry leaders in product testing, and witnessed by Intertek, a leading certification provider to industries worldwide. Results of the testing demonstrated that Exro's Cell Driver™ significantly surpassed the industry's UL9540A requirements, considered one of the primary standards for energy storage safety. Safety is a major concern and focus for the battery storage industry. While fires are rare, when they do occur, they pose considerable risk given the hazardous and volatile nature of the battery chemicals involved. The UL9540A test is designed to assess an energy storage system's ability to limit the spread of a potential fire through thermal runaway (i.e., fire propagating from one defective battery cell to others). The test involves applying a heating plate to a battery cell to artificially induce a thermal runaway event whereby the fire would spread to adjacent cells within the module under test and the energy system. Key conclusions from the independent third-party ESRG Lab report, and certified by Intertek, are summarized below: "Flaming was observed during the test, and it was within the module; however, the size of fire was too small to detect through the calorimeter used for the test.""Total smoke release from the venting point to the end of the measuring at. Total 37688 Seconds." "Thermal runaway is contained by module design."These results highlight the exceptional safety performance of Exro's Cell Driver™. More than 10 hours (37,688 seconds) was required to achieve battery module fire propagation as per the UL9540A test plan, a significant amount of time for this test. Exro's Cell Driver™ contains twenty-four modules, each module containing nine individual cells, and at the end of the test period the fire remained too small to detect and was contained within a single module. Importantly, due to the Cell Driver's design architecture and cooling features, test technicians were required to apply two additional heating plates to induce thermal runaway. Analogous to how Exro's Coil Driver™ technology for electric vehicles ("EV") expands the capabilities of electric motors given an ability to control an electric motor through the power electronics inverter down to the individual coil level, Exro's Cell Driver™ technology expands the capabilities of batteries by enabling cell level control through an innovative battery management inverter combined with advanced cell control software. With an ability to control energy at the cell level, Exro's Cell Driver™ can optimize batteries for health and performance, extending battery life and permitting stationary energy storage systems to operate more efficiently. While most energy storage systems control at a module level, and some systems monitor to a cell level, the Cell Driver™ introduces next-generation innovation to dynamically monitor and control at a cell level. Active cell balancing across Exro's Cell Driver™ enables the charging and discharging of battery cells based on their individual state-of-charge and state-of-health, while matching power demand and power quality. The solution is optimized for maximum cell lifetime, while enabling micro-protection mechanisms for enhanced safety and uninterrupted operations. These mechanisms dynamically isolate defected cells without disruptions to system operations, thereby detecting and eliminating potential thermal runaway events before they could occur. As the world moves toward higher adoption rates in the electrification transition, one of the greatest challenges that will need to be addressed in the next 5-10 years is the supply of batteries. While applicable for new batteries, the primary objective of Exro's Cell Driver™ technology is to provide an effective solution for second-life applications, providing significant cost savings by reviving and utilizing used EV and telecom batteries for a second-life application. Enabling reuse of these cells is critical to reducing the environmental and climate change impacts associated with battery recycling and disposal and offering a real-world solution that leads the way to a circular electrified economy. UL is widely recognized as the long-time safety science leader and the organization's expertise provides credibility to regulators and the broader marketplace. UL certifications demonstrate that products have been tested to applicable industry-wide standards. Over the course of the next seven months, Exro's Cell Driver™ technology will be tested through a host of these standards with the end goal to fully certify Exro's Cell Driver™ as a deployed commercial and industrial product per North American regulations and to receive UL9540 certification. In parallel with the UL certification process, Exro has begun marketing the Cell Driver™ and working to secure first pilots and orders with commercial and industrial distribution partners. These items can be advanced ahead of receiving UL certification. The company is in active discussions with potential distribution partners and anticipates additional details to be announced in the near future. By securing partnerships while working towards UL certification, Exro can be well positioned to ensure the commercialization and delivery of Cell Driver™ products to customers beginning in H1/23.
