West Seneca, New York, May 16, 2024 — Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP), a key US-based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, today reported the financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year (Q1 FY 2024) ended March 31, 2024.
Worksport reports a 1,506% revenue increase in Q1 2024 vs. Q1 2023, while cutting 4.8% in operational expenses over the same periods. Gross margins were largely based on private label sales and are expected to improve considerably in future quarters.
Worksport will provide forward-looking guidance on May 23, 2024. Worksport’s sales in April 2024 have shown positive results, underscoring the Company’s accelerating growth trajectory. Management is eager to share their revenue outlook through year-end 2024, which they believe will be a considerable jump from CY 2023.
Recently signaling Worksport’s stock as undervalued, the Company expects robust growth and development as its US production continues to ramp up rapidly and as the launch of its highly anticipated clean energy solutions approach quickly. The Company is expanding and working on many grants, including a $2.8MM grant from the State of New York announced last week. Worksport is preparing itself to actively tap into the multi-billion-dollar clean-energy and automotive accessory markets.
Key Highlights for Q1 2024:
Explosive Growth:
Worksport Ltd. reported a staggering 1,506% increase in North American sales for Q1 2024 from Q1 2023, with revenues soaring from $31,925 in Q1 2023 to $512,637 in Q1 2024. US revenue alone experienced a remarkable 1,766% increase in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023.
Worksport CEO, Steven Rossi said, “We are proud to see such encouraging early growth and demand from our efforts. In under three years while facing a difficult landscape of COVID lockdowns, hyper-inflation, and supply-chain disruptions, we have launched our new factory, developed groundbreaking products, and have set the foundation for rapid growth. This early success is only with our inaugural product and is a tremendous signal of the potential size of our business to come. We’ve formed an amazing team with an innovative line of products to build a very healthy business in the years ahead. Next week we will give forward-looking guidance. 2024 is Worksport’s year.”
Matured Supply Chain:
