Management Discussion
- During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized total revenue of $4.4 million, a decrease of $9.3 million compared to total revenue of $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
- We recognized services revenue of $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $5.6 million compared to services revenue of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by an unfavorable cumulative adjustment of $3.4 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023 to services revenue, as a result of changes in the Capella Project estimate, discussed in more detail below. The remaining decrease in services revenue was driven by a reduction in costs incurred on the Capella Project for the scope of work and engineering services performed during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
- We recognized grant revenue of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to grant revenue of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by a decrease of $2.1 million related to reimbursable costs incurred on the Capella Project under the DOE Award for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $1.5 million related to the employee retention credit under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022.
