Twin Vee Powercats Co. Reports a 51% Increase in Revenue for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA, May 15, 2023 – Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (Nasdaq: VEEE) (“Twin Vee” or the “Company”), a designer, manufacturer and distributor of recreational and commercial, off-shore power catamaran boats, today reported operational highlights and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
We are pleased to report a 51% increase in net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $8.9 million compared to $5.9 million in the same period in 2022, and net income of $181 thousand for our gas powered boats reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $626 thousand for the same period in 2022. The total net loss of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is a direct reflection of Twin Vee’s majority ownership in Forza X1, Inc.

Twin Vee, net of Forza X1, had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of approximately $12.6 million as of March 31, 2023.
We have made great progress in expanding the Twin Vee model lineup and our product offerings, we feel confident that our newly announced Aquasport mono-hull boat brand will continue our ability to scale our overall business and grow our brands. As we continue to watch market conditions, dealer inventory levels and economic indicators that might affect our business, our goal is to streamline inventory levels and tighten production costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have presented a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure in this earnings release. We believe that this supplemental information is useful to investors because it allows for an evaluation of the company with a focus on the performance of its core operations, including more meaningful comparisons of financial results to historical periods. Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes certain non-cash expenses. Our executive management team uses these same non-GAAP measures internally to assess the ongoing performance of the company.
