Q: Can you provide insights on the distribution of online sales and their impact on margins for the second half of 2025? A: Steven Rossi, CEO, explained that Worksport aims for a 50-50 split between sales through its online platform and dealer/business-to-business units. The focus is on driving traffic to their website to build customer relationships and offering exclusive products online and through dealers to maintain competitiveness.
Q: What is the expected launch strategy for the solar cover and COR products in 2025? A: Steven Rossi, CEO, outlined three paths: selling the solar cover alone, a bundled package with the COR battery system, and the COR system alone. The focus will be on larger power units suitable for significant power needs, such as job sites and emergency situations.
Q: How does Worksport plan to achieve the high end of its 2025 revenue guidance? A: Steven Rossi, CEO, stated that the low end of the guidance is achievable through tunnel cover sales alone. The high end depends on the successful uptake of SOLIS and COR products, with geopolitical factors and supply chain issues being potential challenges.

The focus in 2025 will be on higher-margin products like the AL4 and HD3, aiming for gross margins in the 25% to 30% range by year-end.
Q: Can you elaborate on the R&D expenses in 2024 and expectations for 2025? A: Steven Rossi, CEO, mentioned that 2024 R&D expenses were driven by prototyping the COR battery system and tooling costs.
