LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ:CRKN) ("Crown" or the "Company"), a leading smart glass technology company and an expert in constructing fiber optic networks, today provided financial guidance for its fiscal first and second quarter of 2024.
Doug Croxall, CEO of Crown said, "We are excited to be providing the Company's first quarterly revenue and earnings guidance today. The new deals we recently announced in Mexico and Florida, along with our Arizona business, mean the Company is projected to deliver what we think will be a transformative second quarter. With our recent personnel additions, we are starting to build the foundation of a company that we believe is stronger than it has ever been before. We expect that the second quarter will represent an inflection point for the Company, both in our film development and pending generation 1 product launch, and specifically with the growing revenue and improving earnings in our Fiber Optics division."
First Quarter 2024 Guidance
- Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 is expected to be between $0.7 million and $0.9 million.
- Net Loss for the first quarter of 2024 is anticipated to be between ($3.3) million and ($3.5) million.
Second Quarter 2024 Guidance
- Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 is expected to be between $7.0 million and $ 8.0 million.
- Net Income (Loss) for the second quarter of 2024 is anticipated to be between ($0.5) million and $0.0 million.
This guidance assumes, among other things, that no business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded. As Crown is relatively new to providing guidance to its shareholders, these forecasts are subject to many factors outside of the Company's control. The Company expects to update its guidance on a quarterly basis, except where a material corporate event has occurred prior to the end of such quarter.
