August and September saw large production upticks from July, and as our production bottlenecks are put behind us, we are now gearing up for the next stage of increasing our sales force and sales reach, exploring some promising new sales models, and beginning to engage with larger customers that had previously been beyond our reach as we had lacked the capacity to serve them,” said CEO Morgan Frank . “We will continue to focus on rapid, profitable growth, and we believe our planned increase in production capacity to 2-3 times the level of 2023 will set us up for 2024 to be a transformational year at the Company.” Guidance The Company anticipates Q4 2023 revenue will increase approximately 15% to 25% as compared to Q4 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes certain financial measures that are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ( U.S. ) (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, or a replacement for, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for the change in fair value of derivatives and any significant non-cash or infrequent charges. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented in a consistent manner for each period, unless otherwise disclosed. The Company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the Company to make operational and strategic decisions. The Company believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to GAAP measures, allows them to see the Company’s results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Do not reflect all changes in our working capital needs. Do not reflect interest expense, or the amount necessary to service our outstanding debt. As presented in the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain charges that contribute to our net loss.
