FREMONT, Calif., May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Velo3D, Inc. (OTCQX: VLDX), a leader in additive manufacturing (AM) technology known for transforming aerospace and defense supply chains through world-class metal AM, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“Momentum is building across our business as we implement a number of strategic initiatives that we believe position Velo3D for sustainable, long-term growth and a return to profitability,” said Arun Jeldi, CEO of Velo3D. “We are seeing early results from our new go-to-market strategy, which is gaining significant traction with both new and existing customers, particularly in the defense and aerospace industries where domestic supply chain resiliency is a priority.”

Jeldi, continued, “A $15 million, five-year MSA with Momentus, along with our exclusive supply agreement with Amaero, further validates our RPS offering and underscores our expanding role in reshoring critical manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. RPS is designed to address the growing demand for scalable, high-quality parts by providing a seamless path from design to production. It reduces design cycles, accelerates production qualification and ensures consistent output through a U.S.-based supply chain. Awareness and interest are accelerating among top-tier companies in defense, aerospace and technology, and we believe RPS could account for up to 40% of our revenue by 2026.”

Jeldi continued, “We further strengthened our leadership team with the appointment of retired U.S. Army Green Beret Brice Cooper as Vice President of Defense and Government Relations and welcomed Rear Admiral Jason Lloyd and Kenneth Thieneman to our Board of Directors. Their deep industry and defense expertise will be instrumental as we expand our presence in key strategic markets.”

Jeldi, concluded, “With a number of initiatives in motion, we believe we are in a strong position to execute our strategy and reclaim our leadership in additive manufacturing. We are already seeing measurable improvements in performance and expect sequential quarterly progress throughout 2025.”

Summary of First Quarter 2025 Results 

Revenue was $9.3 million. System revenue decreased compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a modest decrease in the number of printer sales, consistent with our strategy of maintaining Average Selling Price (ASP) by targeting high-value customers. While system sales are expected to remain the primary driver of revenue in 2025, the company anticipates that, under its new go-to-market strategy, its RPS parts production business will contribute an increasing share of revenue beginning in the second half of the year. 

Gross margin for the first quarter was 7.5% compared to negative 28.8% in the first quarter of 2024. The improvement is a result of continued Build of Materials (BOM) cost reduction as well as manufacturing process optimization. The company expects gross margin to improve throughout 2025 as a result of operational efficiencies and an anticipated ramp-up of its Rapid Production Solutions business. 

Operating expenses for the first quarter were $12.6 million compared to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which excludes stock-based compensation expense of $3.9 million, were $8.8 million, down from $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. 

GAAP net loss for the first quarter was $25.4 million compared to a loss of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. 

Non-GAAP net loss was $8.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, which excludes the non-cash loss from the warrant cancellation transaction that eliminated significant future liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $6.9 million. For more information regarding the company’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $3.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

Guidance

Management expects the following for the full year 2025:

Revenue in the range of $50 million to $60 million.Sequential improvement in gross marginGreater than 30% gross margin in fourth quarter of 2025Non-GAAP operating expenses in the range of $40 million to $50 millionCapEx in the range of $15 million to $20 millionEBITDA positive in the first half of 2026

About Velo3D:

Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.

Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design and print the parts they want. The company’s solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D’s Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process. The company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as SpaceX, Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D has been named as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2024. For more information, please visit Velo3D.com, or follow the company on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Amounts herein pertaining to the company’s first quarter ended March 31, 2025 results represent a preliminary estimate as of the date of this earnings release and may be revised upon filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Additional information on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 will be provided upon the filing our Quarterly Report 10-Q with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. The company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect”, “estimate”, “project”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the company’s guidance for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 (including the company’s estimates for revenue and gross margin), the company’s expectations regarding its ability to achieve profitability in the first half of 2026, the company’s expectations about future demand, the company’s strategic realignment and initiatives, the company’s expectations regarding its liquidity and capital requirements, the company’s expectations regarding its potential cost savings, the company’s expectations about its market strategy and financial and operational position, and the company’s other expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “FY 2024 10-K”) and the other documents filed by the company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability of the company to execute its business plan, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the company’s liquidity position//lack of available cash, the ability of the company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its key employees; (2) the company’s ability to continue as a going concern; (3) the company’s ability to service and comply with its indebtedness; (4) the company’s ability to raise additional capital in the near-term; (5) the possibility that the company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (6) changes in the applicable laws and regulations, and (7) other risks and uncertainties described in the FY 2024 10-K, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the company’s other filings with the SEC. The company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. The company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. 

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The information in the table below sets forth the non-GAAP financial measures that the company uses in this release. We believe these non-GAAP financial performance and liquidity measures are helpful in identifying trends in our day-to-day performance because the items excluded have little or no significance on our day-to-day operations. These measures provide an assessment of core expenses and afford management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieve optimal financial performance.

Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. Because of these limitations, “Non-GAAP Net Loss”, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Operating Expenses”, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Loss, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company’s business.

The following tables reconcile Net income (loss) to Non-GAAP Net Loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA and Total Operating Expenses to Non-GAAP Operating Expenses during the periods below:

Firmable breaks into G2’s global top five for momentum in Sales Intelligence

Published

7 minutes ago

on

October 28, 2026

By

Firmable earned 17 badges in G2’s Fall 2026 reports and improved its ranking in 28 of the 32 reports it featured in last season, holding its position in the other four.

MELBOURNE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Firmable, the AI-native B2B sales platform, has climbed from #8 to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence, which ranks the fastest-rising products in the category worldwide. It also ranked #1 for SMB sales intelligence in both Australia and ANZ and moved into the top 10 across Asia-Pacific.

The results span regional, segment and global reports in both the Sales Intelligence and Lead Intelligence categories. They are based on verified reviews from Firmable customers, alongside G2’s measures of market presence and growth.

Global momentum as Firmable scales in North America

Firmable is now one of the fastest-rising sales intelligence products worldwide. Its jump to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence was matched by strong gains in G2’s global satisfaction indexes:

Relationship Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #24Implementation Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #17Results Index for Sales Intelligence: #4, up from #16

The results arrive as Firmable expands across the US and Canada, following its $14 million Series A in March and the launch of the Firmable MCP in July. They were followed by the launch of Tech Intelligence earlier in October.

“G2 rankings come straight from customers, and that’s why these results matter to us,” said Leigh Jasper, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Customers are telling the market three things: Firmable is easy to work with, fast to roll out, and it delivers results. Those scores climbed the most this season. That’s exactly the proof point sales leaders look for when they evaluate a new platform. We built Firmable as an AI-native product from day one, and teams in North America and elsewhere are responding. Breaking into the global top five for momentum is a strong signal of where we’re headed.”

#1 in Australia and in ANZ

Firmable took the top spot for small-business sales intelligence in both of its home markets. It rose from #2 to #1 on G2’s Small-Business Australia Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence, and from #3 to #1 on the Small-Business ANZ Regional Grid. Firmable also held #1 overall in both Australia and ANZ for Lead Intelligence.

“Ranking top in Australia and ANZ and climbing across Asia-Pacific comes down to one thing: our customers are booking more meetings with less effort,” said Paul Perrett, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Growing sales teams can’t afford to waste a rep’s day on bad data or cold accounts. We give them verified contacts and buying signals that tell them who to call and when. These results show that approach is working for teams in every market we serve. And with the launch of Tech Intelligence last week, we’re not slowing down.”

Top 10 across Asia-Pacific

Firmable moved into the top 10 for small-business sales intelligence across Asia-Pacific. It climbed from #13 to #10 on G2’s Small-Business Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence. It also rose from #14 to #9 on the matching Lead Intelligence grid.

Firmable debuted on G2’s Mid-Market Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence at #13. That reflects growing adoption among larger revenue teams in the region. On the overall Asia Pacific grid for Sales Intelligence, Firmable moved from #18 to #15.

SUPPORTS AMD EXPO™ Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency
WITH AWARD-WINNING FLAGSHIP DESIGN

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KLEVV, the leading consumer memory and storage brand introduced by Essencore, unveils the all-new CRAS V RGB PRIME DDR5 Gaming/OC Memory. Purpose-built for elite gaming rigs and demanding creative workloads, this new premium memory unleashes ultra-low CAS latency down to CL26 at 6000 MT/s and blazing overclocking speeds of up to 8000 MT/s at CL38, dressed in a striking black-and-gold finish and armed with dual-platform overclocking support for gamers, PC builders, and performance enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best. 

Refined Flagship Design and Craftsmanship
Building on the aluminum heat spreader design of the flagship CRAS V RGB, winner of both the Red Dot and iF Design Awards, the CRAS V RGB PRIME introduces a striking new black-and-gold interpretation of the series’ signature look.

An advanced hard-anodizing process, combined with a specialized surface treatment, gives the modules a smooth, piano-lacquer-like sheen that adds depth and sophistication from every angle. The result is an understated yet luxurious aesthetic that offers users a fresh, premium design choice while preserving the refined craftsmanship of the original CRAS V RGB.

High-Speed Performance with Lower Latency
The CRAS V RGB PRIME further advances KLEVV’s DDR5 overclocking memory lineup with tested speeds of 6000, 6400, and 8000 MT/s and CAS latencies of CL26, CL28, and CL38, respectively.

The 6000 MT/s configuration features tested timings of 26-36-36-76, while the 6400 MT/s configuration delivers timings of 28-38-38-78. For users seeking extreme frequencies, the 8000 MT/s models operate at tested timings of 38-48-48-128. All configurations are tested at 1.4V.

The 6000 and 6400 MT/s configurations are available in dual-channel kits ranging from 32GB (16GBx2), 64GB (32GBx2), to 128GB (64GBx2), while the 8000 MT/s models are offered in both 32GB (16GBx2) and 48GB (24GBx2) kits. This diverse range gives users greater flexibility to select the ideal balance of speed, latency, and capacity for their systems.

Next-Generation AMD EXPO™ Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency
“AMD EXPO™ Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency” is the latest evolution of AMD’s established memory overclocking technology. The new AMD EXPO ULL profile incorporates optimized memory sub-timing settings designed to reduce latency and improve overall performance on compatible AMD platforms. As the first product in KLEVV’s overclocking memory lineup to adopt this technology, the CRAS V RGB PRIME delivers a more responsive gaming and overclocking experience.

The 6000 MT/s and 6400 MT/s 32GB (16GBx2) configurations are certified for AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency. According to AMD, certified Ultra Low Latency memory can deliver an average 4% improvement in FPS compared with non-ULL AMD EXPO memory on compatible systems.*

Broad Intel and AMD Platform Support
Offering broad support across the latest desktop platforms, the CRAS V RGB PRIME is compatible with AMD Ryzen™ processors on the AM5 platform and Intel® Core™ Ultra 200S Plus processors.

Each kit comes preloaded with both Intel® Extreme Memory Profile and AMD EXPO™ Technology overclocking profiles, allowing users to unlock high-speed performance through a simple BIOS setting on compatible motherboards with supported BIOS versions. With both profiles included, users can confidently choose their preferred speed and capacity without the hassle of selecting separate Intel- or AMD-specific models.

Premium Components for Uncompromising Stability
The CRAS V RGB PRIME features rigorously screened, high-quality memory ICs from a leading Korean manufacturer, ensuring consistent high-speed performance and exceptional stability under demanding workloads.

Paired with a high-density 10-layer PCB, the modules deliver enhanced signal integrity and greater resistance to interference during high-speed operation. Integrated PMIC and on-die ECC technologies further support stable power management and long-term reliability, creating a robust foundation for gaming and overclocking performance.

Its RGB lighting supports ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome Sync, allowing users to seamlessly coordinate lighting across compatible components and systems.

A Complete DDR5 Gaming/OC Memory Lineup
The introduction of the CRAS V RGB PRIME further expands KLEVV’s comprehensive DDR5 Gaming/OC memory portfolio.

With the CRAS, URBANE, BOLT, and FIT series available across a wide range of designs and specifications, KLEVV continues to provide flexible memory choices for different performance requirements, system configurations, and aesthetic preferences.
