[Form 4] Super Micro Computer, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Q2-25 is Aurora’s first quarter with commercial revenue following April’s launch of Aurora Driver for Freight. The company recorded $1 million of revenue but a $5 million cost of revenue, resulting in a negative gross margin. R&D spending increased 12 % YoY to $190 million and SG&A rose 29 % to $36 million, driving an operating loss of $230 million and a net loss of $201 million (-$0.11 /share).

Balance-sheet strength: cash & equivalents of $206 million plus $1.103 billion in short-term investments give total liquidity of $1.31 billion. An at-the-market (ATM) equity program supplied $399 million net in H1 and capacity was increased to $1 billion. Liabilities remain low at $223 million with no debt; derivative liabilities fell to $41 million. Stockholders’ equity improved to $1.99 billion but accumulated deficit widened to $4.77 billion.

Cash flow: operating cash burn was $286 million for the first six months, better than the $326 million burn last year; capex was modest at $15 million. Management says existing funds cover at least the next 12 months yet anticipates additional raises before full commercialization.

Key figures

• Revenue: $1 m vs $0 m (YoY)
• Net loss: -$201 m vs -$182 m
• Cash & ST investments: $1.31 b
• Shares outstanding: 1.84 b (A+B)
• Intangibles placed in service: $617 m, 10-year life

Positive

• First commercial revenue generated, validating Aurora Driver deployment.
• Robust liquidity of $1.31 b plus expanded $1 b ATM capacity supports near-term funding needs.
• Operating cash burn improved by $40 m YoY, indicating some spending discipline.
• No debt and low balance-sheet leverage reduce financial risk.

Negative

• Gross loss: cost of revenue exceeded sales five-fold, questioning early unit economics.
• High net loss of $201 m and continued negative EPS.
• Dilution risk from 69 m shares already issued via ATM and further $580 m capacity remaining.
• R&D and SG&A growth outpaced revenue, prolonging path to profitability.
• Accumulated deficit reached $4.77 b, reflecting long-term burn.

Insights

Sell-Side Financial Analyst

TL;DR: First revenue, heavy losses; strong cash after $399 m ATM; path to profitability still distant.

The debut of $1 m in freight revenue marks technical progress but underscores the early stage of monetization—cost of revenue quintupled sales. Operating expenses rose 14 % YoY, mainly personnel and hardware, keeping burn high. Liquidity of $1.31 b is ample, covering roughly 4–5 quarters at the current spend rate. The enlarged $1 b ATM provides additional flexibility but is dilutive. Near-term valuation hinges on proof of scalable economics and containment of R&D.

Institutional Portfolio Risk Manager

TL;DR: Cash runway solid, but dilution and negative unit economics heighten risk profile.

With no debt and limited liabilities, balance-sheet risk is low. However, gross losses on initial freight loads highlight uncertain unit economics, and accumulated deficit nears $4.8 b. The share count rose ~8 % YTD from ATM sales, and further issuance is likely. Investors should monitor cash burn pace, customer uptake, and regulatory milestones before considering sizeable exposure.
