Prototype sales revenue increased by 16% year-over-year, while development contract revenue saw a significant decrease of 70%. The company's cost of revenue also saw a substantial decrease of 93%, primarily due to non-routine inventory write-downs in the previous year and lower development contract costs. AEye's operating expenses across research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative sectors all decreased due to the implementation of a revised strategic plan aimed at reducing costs and focusing on the commercialization of automotive products. The company has engaged with LITEON as a Tier 1 automotive supplier and is actively working to bring products to market, with a focus on the Automotive market. AEye's future plans include leveraging its technology in the Automotive market to enter other markets, including the Industrial market, once it becomes cost-effective to do so.
