Key Comments:

1.Revenue Growth in the Automotive and Aircraft Markets

Research Frontiers royalty income increased by 47% in 2024 to $1,335,531 compared to $909,598 in 2023. This revenue growth primarily came from double-digit percentage gains in royalties from the automotive and aircraft markets.

2.Expansion of Product Pipeline.

2024 marked the growth in use of SPD-SmartGlass in the Ferrari Purosangue and multiple McLaren car models, as well as the introduction towards the end of 2024 of the Cadillac Celestiq.Commercial airlines have begun to put SPD in their cabin windows, most notably in both Boeing and Airbus aircraft, as decision making has moved from the OEMs to their airline customers. The Company expects revenue in all market segments to increase as new car models, aircraft, trains, architectural, information display and other products using the Company’s SPD-SmartGlass technology are introduced into the market. The Company anticipates multiple new car models featuring SPD-SmartGlass technology in 2025 from OEMs in various regions of the world.

3.Operational Efficiencies and Financial Stability.

Expenses decreased by over $165,000 (-6%) in 2024 compared to 2023. As a result of these efficiencies, combined with rising revenue, this reduced the Company’s net loss to $1,311,382 ($0.04 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was $596,982, (31%) lower than the net loss of $1,908,364 ($0.06 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 million, and working capital of $2.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
