Corporate Restructuring
In October 2022, Quanergy Systems, Inc. ("Quanergy" or the "Company"), implemented a restructuring plan, including a reduction in staff, after an extensive review of its organization and programs and in response to current market conditions.
Under the restructuring program, the Company has focused its solid state engineering resources on the design of a second-generation, high-resolution optical phased array (“OPA”) architecture, and has ceased development of its initial solid state OPA architecture, resulting in a reduction in engineering staff and associated expenditures. In connection with this restructuring plan the Company will reduce staff by 11%, from 141 to 126 full-time employees, pursuant to which it expects to incur severance expenses of approximately $130 thousand. Quanergy expects to substantially complete this workforce reduction by the end of October 2022. These actions are expected to reduce expenses and extend the Company's cash runway.
Financial Update
While Quanergy has not finalized its full financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company expects to report that it had approximately $7.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2022. Quanergy also expects to report revenue for the third quarter of 2022 of $2.3 million, compared with $1.1 million in the same period of 2021, and bookings, which are defined as non-cancellable orders expected to be delivered within 12 months of purchase order receipt, for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022 of $10.8 million, compared with $4.2 million in the same period of 2021. These amounts are preliminary, have not been audited and are subject to change in connection with the completion of Quanergy's unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. In addition, Quanergy's independent registered public accounting firm does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Accordingly, a market participant should not place undue reliance on this information. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of Quanergy's financial position and results of operations as of September 30, 2022.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
