Commentary from Dominique Kwong, CEO of Damon
"Since the start of the quarter and calendar 2025, we believe we have made tremendous progress in strengthening Damon's financial foundation while diversifying our business model to open up new potential high-margin revenue streams. We are not just a motorcycle company anymore. We are now a company committed to powering sustainability through personal mobility products and intelligent data solutions. With what we believe is an expanded market opportunity and accelerated path to revenue, Damon is positioned to capitalize on the great potential at the intersection of electrification, connectivity and data intelligence.
Damon's proprietary safety systems and electrification technology, backed by over 38 patents and patents pending, continue to be core differentiators in the market. The company's new Damon IO technology stack enables real-time data collection and analysis, which we believe will provide valuable insights and increase revenue potential.
While recent events have presented a speed bump on our journey, we remain fully committed to our strategic roadmap and growth trajectory. We view this as a temporary challenge that we are actively working to overcome, with the goal of emerging stronger and more resilient. Our focus remains on operational excellence, product innovation, and transparent communication with our stakeholders as we continue executing on our vision.
Moving forward, we're implementing an asset-light business model through strategic partnerships, bolstered by our recent financings. This approach optimizes our operational efficiency while advancing our mission in mobility innovation and data intelligence. We believe combining our diversified potential revenue streams and strategic focus on sustainable personal mobility solutions positions us strongly for long-term value creation."
