Recent Operating Highlights:

U.S. Continental Renews Contract; 4x Gains in Efficiency AchievedNasdaq Grants Extension for Continued Exchange ListingU.S. patent office granted 19 patents to-date; Cyngn’s patent portfolio also includes 6 additional pending U.S. patents and 20 pending international patentsNext-Gen DriveMod Kit will Harness Nvidia AI ComputersCloses $5.0 million Public Offering of Common StockHands-off Automatic Unhitching Capabilities for Industrial Autonomous Vehicles

“I am pleased with the accomplishments of our Cyngn team as we transitioned from years of R&D into 2023 commercial readiness and finished the year with annual revenue at $1.5 million,” said Lior Tal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cyngn.  “Our success is also driven in part with our key leading OEM partnerships from Motrec and BYD, and, aided by our technology alignment with Ouster’s LiDAR sensors and Nvidia’s artificial intelligence computation capabilities that power Cyngn’s AI-driven autonomous vehicle software solutions. During the first couple of months of 2024 we already successfully completed multiple trial deployments of DriveMod Autonomous Vehicles with leading vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers, and anticipate 2024 to be a fast-paced and exciting year as these transition to follow-on sales, and we scale up production deployment and rapidly expand our customer installed base. This will happen in parallel to continued development of the DriveMod Autonomous Forklifts, which are expected to begin initial deployments during the second half of the year.”

2023 Financial Review:

2023 revenue was $1.5 million compared to $262 thousand in 2022, the majority of which was substantially the result of NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) contracts in both years.Total costs and expenses in 2023 were $24.8 million, an increase from $19.7 million in 2022. This increase was primarily related to R&D expenses, up $3.2 million due to increased technical staffing to support our AV technology offset by the recognition of an Employee Retention Credit of $572 thousand and capitalized software of $885 thousand. G&A expenses increased by $898 thousand year-over-year related to increased staffing to support public company responsibilities, increased marketing, advertising and other general and administrative expenses offset by the recognition of an Employee Retention Credit of $192 thousand. Cost of revenue increased by $1.0 million primarily from higher engineering development resources and hardware costs to support the completion of the final phases of NRE contracts. Headcount, including full time contractors, at the end of 2023 was 81 versus 79 from the prior year.Net loss for 2023 was $(22.8) million compared to $(19.2) million in 2022. 2023 net loss per share was $(0.57), based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 40.0 million. This compares to a net loss per share of $(0.55) in 2022, based on approximately 34.9 million basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Q4 2023 Financial Review:

Fourth quarter revenue was $40.4 thousand compared to $262 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 revenue was derived primarily from EAS software subscriptions from DriveMod Stock chaser vehicle deployments whereas prior year revenue was primarily the result of NRE contracts.Total costs and expenses in the fourth quarter were $5.4 million, down from $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a $635 thousand reduction in G&A expenses, partially due to the recognition of an Employee Retention Credit of $192 thousand. In addition, cost of revenue decreased by $86 thousand and R&D expenses increased by $204 thousand. The increase in R&D expense was primarily driven by commercial deployments, offset by the recognition of an Employee Retention Credit of $572 thousand and $123 thousand of capitalized software.Net loss for the fourth quarter was $(5.4) million compared to $(5.5) million in the corresponding quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter 2023 net loss per share was $(0.12), based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 46.0 million in the quarter. This compares to a net loss per share of $(0.15) in the fourth quarter of 2022, based on approximately 37.7 million basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Balance Sheet Highlights:
Cyngn’s unrestricted cash and short-term investments at the end of 2023 total $8.2 million compared to $22.6 million as of December 31, 2022.  At the end of the same period, working capital was $7.4 million and total stockholders’ equity was $10.6 million, as compared to year-end working capital of $22.4 million and total stockholders’ equity of $24.1 million, respectively as of December 31, 2022.  The Company had no debt as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Allegiant Announces Future Board Composition Following Sun Country Acquisition

Published

on

By

LAS VEGAS, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today announced the anticipated structure of its Board of Directors following the acquisition of Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY). Upon closing, the Allegiant Board will expand from eight to eleven members with Jude Bricker, Jennifer Vogel and Thomas Kennedy, all current Sun Country Board members, to join Allegiant’s Board at that time.

In January, Allegiant announced it was acquiring Sun Country in a transaction expected to close as early as May 13, 2026. The combination will form the leading, leisure-focused U.S. airline that is expected to expand affordable, convenient service to more vacation destinations domestically and internationally. After closing, the combined company will operate under the Allegiant name. The airlines will continue operating separately until receiving a single operating certificate from the FAA. There is expected to be no immediate change to ticketing or schedules, and customers can continue to book their flights through allegiant.com and suncountry.com.

“This combination marks a major achievement for both Allegiant and Sun Country, and we look forward to the Allegiant leadership team guiding the company forward,” said Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant’s founder and Board Chairman. He added, “The addition of Jude Bricker, Jennifer Vogel, and Thomas Kennedy to our Board reflects the governance structure established for the combined company in the Merger Agreement, and brings to the Allegiant Board even greater expertise in airlines, finance and corporate leadership that will benefit the shareholders, employees and customers of the combined companies.”

Joining the Board upon closing will be:

Jude Bricker has served as President and CEO of Sun Country Airlines since 2017 and has been a Sun Country director since 2018. A seasoned aviation executive with two decades of industry experience, he previously served as Allegiant’s Chief Operating Officer and held multiple leadership roles at Allegiant from 2006–2017, overseeing key commercial, operational, and financial functions. Earlier, he was a finance manager at American Airlines. He also served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1996 to 2002. Mr. Bricker holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University and an MBA from the University of Texas, and he is an independent director of SAS Airlines.

Jennifer Vogel has served as Chair of the Sun Country Airlines Board since March 2023 and has been a director since 2022. She is a former senior airline legal and compliance executive, having served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Secretary, and Chief Compliance Officer of Continental Airlines (retired 2010). Ms. Vogel currently serves on the boards of AAR Corp. and the Telluride Regional Airport Authority and previously served on the board of Virgin America. She holds a BBA from the University of Iowa and a JD from the University of Texas.

Thomas C. Kennedy has served on the Sun Country Airlines Board since 2021. He is President and CEO, North America at SIXT Rental Car and previously served as its President and CFO. Mr. Kennedy is a former public-company CFO, including as CFO of Hertz Global Holdings, with earlier senior finance leadership roles at Hilton Worldwide and Northwest Airlines. He holds a BA in Economics from Tulane University and an MBA from Harvard University.

“We are excited to welcome these accomplished leaders to Allegiant’s Board upon closing,” said Gregory C. Anderson, CEO of Allegiant. “Their experience and perspective will be valuable as we continue building a stronger, differentiated airline that better serves the communities and customers across our combined network.”

The current Allegiant Board, led by Chairman Maurice J. Gallagher, will continue its oversight responsibilities, with the new members joining effective upon the completion of the Sun Country acquisition.

Strategically, the combination brings together complementary route networks – Allegiant’s focus on small and mid-sized markets and Sun Country’s presence in larger cities – creating more than 650 routes (551 Allegiant routes and 105 Sun Country routes) and connecting Minneapolis–St. Paul to additional mid-sized markets while expanding nonstop access to popular leisure destinations. The combined airline also adds broader international reach by leveraging Sun Country’s service across Mexico, Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean, providing Allegiant customers access to 18 international destinations. The combined company will be headquartered in Las Vegas while maintaining a significant presence in Minneapolis–St. Paul.

Leidos, Havoc integrate capabilities to advance maritime and air autonomy

Leaders in defense technology combine systems integration and collaborative autonomy to help accelerate operational capability

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) and Havoc are partnering to integrate unmanned systems with collaborative autonomy technology, enabling a single operator to command and coordinate fleets of platforms across vast, contested areas.

The companies plan to showcase these capabilities during a joint operational validation in the fourth quarter of 2026, where unmanned surface and aerial vehicles are expected to operate under a single autonomy system. The event is intended to provide a clear preview of how collaborative autonomous operations can be executed at scale in real-world conditions.

Elements of Havoc’s collaborative autonomy software will be integrated with Leidos’ Autonomous Vessel Architecture (LAVA) on select platforms, beginning with Sea Archer, the small unmanned surface vessel. This combined approach is designed to enable coordinated operations across systems while seeking to optimize performance, integration speed and cost for specific mission applications. The collaboration aims to define and deliver the architecture for an autonomous battlespace, where distributed systems sense, decide and act together across air, surface and sub-surface domains, even in contested and communications-degraded environments.

“The future of warfare will be defined by how quickly and effectively systems can operate together across domains,” said Leidos Defense President Cindy Gruensfelder. “The Leidos and Havoc team will work to deliver integrated, mission-ready capability that gives commanders more options and operational advantage.”

“Leidos is a strong partner because their vessels and software are proven and trusted,” said Paul Lwin, Co-founder and CEO of Havoc. “By integrating Havoc’s autonomy across those platforms, we expect to compress integration timelines from months to weeks and move systems into production in days, not months. That speed, applied to Leidos’ breadth of platforms, is what makes this partnership so significant for defense customers.”

This partnership combines Leidos’ proven maritime platforms and systems integration expertise with Havoc’s collaborative autonomy capabilities. Depending on the mission, solutions will incorporate Leidos, Havoc, or a combination of both software architectures to deliver scalable capability across existing and future force structures. These systems are designed to operate together to help expand reach, improve coordination and reduce risk to human operators.
