ATM Program
On August 18, 2025, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2025 Shelf Registration Statement”) with the SEC registering $100.0 million of its common stock, which the SEC declared effective on August 21, 2025. A Prospectus Supplement, inclusive of the 2025 Shelf Registration, was filed and became effective on August 22, 2025 under registration No. 333-289699. The Prospectus Supplement allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million pursuant to the Company’s At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”), dated as of August 22, 2025, with Mizuho Securities, Inc. (“Mizuho”), as sales agent, under an at-the-market offering program (“ATM Program”). The Sales Agreement stipulates that the Company will pay Mizuho a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds of any shares of common stock sold to or through Mizuho pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from sales of common stock issued under the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, potential future investments, and to repay up to $10.0 million of the amount borrowed under the Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan”) as described in Note 11. The timing of any sales and the number of shares sold will depend on a variety of factors to be determined and considered by the Company. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement.
There were 251,246 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 for an aggregate offering price of $1,305 thousand. Total issuance costs and commissions related to the ATM Program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $421 thousand, of which $42 thousand were offset against Additional-paid-in-capital. The remaining $379 thousand of unamortized issuance costs related to the ATM Program are included in Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and will be offset against Additional paid-in-capital on a ratable basis as additional proceeds are received under the ATM Program. Of the total issuance costs related to the ATM Program, $154 thousand remained unpaid as of September 30, 2025 and are included in Accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2025, $48.7 million in capacity remained available under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and shareholders’ equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $16.3 million. As discussed in Note 11, the Company has access to $75.0 million under the Term Loan. The Term Loan has a maturity date of December 15, 2027.
As discussed above, the Company initiated an ATM Program on August 22, 2025, which allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Through September 30, 2025, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.0 million under this program. Additional sales under this program are subject to market demand, outside of management’s control, and subject to approval by the H-D Board of Directors as we are a controlled company. As described in Note 11, the Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (as defined in the Term Loan) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date.
Management continues to assess the Company’s liquidity position and has the flexibility to adjust spending as needed through cost reduction initiatives in order to preserve liquidity. At the same time, the Company continues to explore additional means for raising capital to continue to support ongoing operations and future investments. Additionally, the Company continues to focus on the development of products that are profitable while reducing its use of cash. Based on its current plans and projections, the Company expects that its current resources will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the Company’s product development and sales efforts, as well as timing and size of funds raised under the ATM Program or other possible financing vehicles.
