[{"type":"text","content":"ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI) (\"Vuzix\" or the \"Company\"), a leading supplier of smart glasses, waveguides, and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, today reported its first quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"2025 has thus far been marked by important developments for Vuzix that span commercial and technology relationships, expansion of customer deployments, and enhancements enabling product execution,\" said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. \"Vuzix is entering a phase of increasing commercial momentum, as our long-standing business model vision and investments are translating into design wins and tangible near-term commercial traction. At the same time, the broader tech industry is amplifying its focus on AI-powered smart glasses, signaling that the ultimate race to bring these products to scale is getting closer, if not already underway, as evidenced by increasing inbound activity.\"\n\"And while the adoption of smart glasses in the entire market has been slower than anticipated by all market participants, Vuzix' outlook remains very positive. Our Q1 enterprise sales improved sequentially (Q1/25 vs Q4/24), driven by both new deployments and growing follow-on orders, and as we have previously shared, we have several strategic programs moving steadily toward large-scale rollout,\" continued Mr. Travers. \"With a growing base of ODM/OEM opportunities, new strategic partnerships, and rising interest for AI-enhanced wearable solutions, we believe the market is gaining momentum and Vuzix is well-positioned to capitalize as AI and AR technologies converge and reshape the way we work, communicate, and interact with digital information.\"\nThe following table compares condensed elements of the Company's unaudited summarized Consolidated Statements of Operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:\nFor Three Months Ended March 31\n($000s except per share amounts)\n2025\n2024\nSales:\nSales of Products\n$1,324\n$1,829\nSales of Engineering Services\n257\n175\nTotal Sales\n1,581\n2,004\nTotal Cost of Sales\n1,846\n2,057\nGross Loss\n(265)\n(53)\nOperating Expenses:\nResearch and Development\n2,606\n2,738\nSelling and Marketing\n1,537\n2,221\nGeneral and Administrative\n3,961\n4,098\nDepreciat...
