  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1
    The Company's management has concluded as of the filing of this 2022 2023 Annual Report that, due to uncertainty surrounding the Company's ability to extend or refinance its current debt agreements and uncertainty as to whether it will have sufficient liquidity to fund its business activities, substantial doubt exists as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans to alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may not be successful, and it may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

    The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $144.8 million of total borrowings outstanding under its debt arrangements with Standard Chartered Bank ("Standard Chartered") and Weichai. On March 24, 2023, the Company amended and restated its $130.0 million uncommitted senior secured revolving credit agreement with Standard Chartered, the Third Amended and Restated Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement")", which extends the maturity date of loans outstanding under its previous credit facility to the earlier of March 22, 2024 or the demand of Standard Chartered. The $130.0 million Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default and covenants and is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, Standard Chartered has the right to demand payment of any and all outstanding borrowings and other amounts outstanding at any point in time at its discretion. During 2023, the Company also amended four shareholder's loan agreements with Weichai, to among other things, extend the maturities thereof. The first amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement (the "first Amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement") continues to provide the Company with a $130.0 million subordinated loan under which Weichai is obligated to advance funds solely for purposes of repaying outstanding borrowings under the $130.0 million Credit Agreement if the Company is unable to pay such borrowings. The maturity of the first Amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement was extended to April 25, 2024. The second amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement (the "second Amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement") continues to provide the Company with a $25.0 million subordinated loan at the discretion of Weichai and matures on May 20, 2024. The third amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement (the "third Amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement") continues to provide the Company with access to up to $50.0 million of credit at the discretion of Weichai and matures on November 30, 2024. The fourth amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement (the "fourth Amended Shareholder's Loan Agreement") continues to provide the Company with access to up to $30.0 million of credit at the discretion of Weichai and matures on March 31, 2024. All of the amended shareholder loan agreements with Weichai are subject to customary events of default and covenants. The Company has covenanted to secure any amounts borrowed under either of the agreements upon payment in full of all amounts outstanding under the $130.0 million Credit Agreement. Without additional financing, the Company anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to repay amounts owed under its existing debt arrangements as they become due. In order to provide the Company with a more permanent source of liquidity, management plans to seek an extension and amendment and/or replacement of its existing debt agreements or seek additional liquidity from its current or other lenders before the maturity dates in 2024. There can be no assurance that the Company's management will be able to successfully complete an extension and amendment of its existing debt agreements or obtain new financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Company's efforts to address these issues. Furthermore, if the Company cannot raise capital on acceptable terms, it may not, among other things, be able to do the following: - continue to expand the Company's research and product investments and sales and marketing organization;- expand operations both organically and through acquisitions; and - respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements. The Company's management has concluded that, due to uncertainties surrounding the Company's future ability to refinance, extend and amend, or repay its outstanding indebtedness under its existing debt arrangements, maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its business activities, and other requirements under the Credit Agreement and other outstanding debt, in the future, substantial doubt exists as to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The Company's plans to alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may not be successful, and it may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on generating profitable operating results, having sufficient liquidity, maintaining compliance with the covenants and other requirements under the Credit Agreement and shareholder loan agreements, in the future, and extending and amending, refinancing or repaying the indebtedness outstanding under the Company's existing debt arrangements.

  • Innovation / R&D - Risk 1
    The market for alternative-fueled, spark-ignited power systems may not continue to develop as expected.

    The continued market acceptance and growth of the market for efficient alternative-fueled, spark-ignited power systems, including natural gas, propane and gasoline, is a key tenet of the Company's growth strategy. The impact of diesel emission regulations is expected to increase the cost and complexity of diesel power systems, but this may not materialize to the expected extent or at all. Also, customers, or potential customers, may not substitute natural gas, propane and gasoline-powered power systems for diesel power systems in response to these regulations. In addition, to the extent that diesel power system manufacturers develop the ability to design and produce emission-compliant diesel power systems that are more competitive than the Company's alternative-fueled power systems, customers and potential customers may be less likely to substitute alternative-fueled power systems for diesel power systems. Furthermore, if alternative-fueled power systems are substituted for diesel power systems, there can be no assurance that the Company's power systems would capture any portion of the potential market increase. If the industrial OEM market generally, or more specifically any of the OEM categories that represent a significant portion of the Company's business or in which it anticipates significant growth opportunities for its power systems, fails to develop or develops more slowly than the Company anticipates, its business could be materially adversely affected. Lastly, the Company also faces competition from other forms of power systems, including electrification and fuel cells, which could limit its ability to grow in the future.

  • Innovation / R&D - Risk 2
    The introduction of new products, including new engines that the Company develops, and the continued expansion of products may not succeed or achieve widespread acceptance.

    The Company's growth depends on its ability to develop and/or acquire new products and/or refine existing products and power system technology, to complement and enhance the breadth of its power system offerings with respect to engine class and the OEM market categories into which the Company supplies its products. The Company will generally seek to develop or acquire new products, or enhance existing products and power system technology, if it believes such acquisitions or enhancements will provide significant additional sales and favorable profit margins. However, the Company cannot know beforehand whether any new or enhanced products will successfully penetrate target markets. There can be no assurance that newly developed or acquired products will perform as well as the Company expects, or that such products will gain widespread adoption among the Company's customers. Additionally, there are greater design and operational risks associated with new products. The inability of the Company's suppliers to produce technologically sophisticated components for new engines and power systems, the discovery of any product or process defects or failures associated with production of any new products, and any related product returns could each have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and its results of operations. If new products that the Company expends significant resources to develop or acquire are not successful or do not obtain, or retain, required certifications, or such products do not achieve the required production volume and scale, its business could be adversely affected.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
