Forward guidance
Archer provided financial estimates for the third quarter of 2023.
Tailwinds
- GAAP total operating expenses of $42 million to $52 million
- Non-GAAP total operating expenses of $75 million to $85 million
- This reflects a total of $26 million expected stock-based compensation, warrant expense and other non-cash charges
- One-time non cash credit of $59 million as a result of the reversal of an unrealized expense relating to founder equity grants.
Headwinds
- Stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the future fair market value of our common stock and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within our control.
- The actual amount of these expenses during 2023 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
- Reconciliation of non-GAAP total operating expenses is not available without unreasonable effort.
