XPEL, Inc. Launches COLOR Paint Protection Film, Offering Vehicle Owners 16 Premium Colors with Industry-Leading Protection XPEL, Inc. announced the launch of its COLOR Paint Protection Film (PPF) product line. This innovative new offering combines the world-class vehicle paint protection XPEL is known for with a palette of 16 colors, providing vehicle owners a new way to protect and personalize their cars. For decades, automotive enthusiasts have sought ways to express individuality through their vehicles, often relying on costly repaints or thin vinyl wraps that lack durability. XPEL's COLOR PPF changes the game by delivering a long-lasting, factory-quality finish with the self-healing protective strength of XPEL's traditional clear PPF.PPF has long been a trusted choice for protecting vehicles from rock chips, scratches, environmental damage and wear. With COLOR PPF, XPEL has combined these protective qualities with stunning aesthetics, offering a finish that looks nearly indistinguishable from factory paint. Unlike vinyl wraps, which often fade or peel within a few years and don't provide true paint protection, XPEL's self-healing COLOR PPF comes with a 10-year warranty and is two to three times thicker than vinyl. XPEL's COLORPPF draws inspiration from iconic automotive finishes--from Molten Orange to Moss Green to Monza Red--enabling drivers to refresh their vehicle's appearance or create a completely custom look. Applications range from accent pieces to full-vehicle wraps, and installations are performed exclusively by authorized XPEL dealers using XPEL's proprietary DAP software for precision fitment.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading minority and Woman-owned national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. XPEL sells, distributes, and installs after-market automotive products. The company offers automotive surface and paint protection, headlight protection, and automotive and architectural window films, as well as proprietary software. On October 19, 2023, Culper Research issued a report alleging that XPEL "grossly understated its reliance on Tesla." In the prior week, Tesla stated that it would be eliminating XPEL from its supply chain. In response, XPEL stated that Tesla represented only 5% of its revenues. However, Culper Research estimated that Tesla actually represents 25% to 35% of XPEL's paint protection films ("PPF") business. Further, Culper Research stated XPEL "is concealing a massive undisclosed risk from its primary supplier which threatens to upend the [XPEL]'s entire reason for being." Specifically, Culper Research claimed that XPEL's long-time supplier, entrotech, inc., formed a joint venture with PPG, which has integrated protection technology directly into OEM paint.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Tillkännagivande • Aug 30
