(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Velo3D, Inc. (the "Company") has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Quarterly Report") within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company requires additional time to finalize certain of the disclosures in its Quarterly Report, as well as the financial statements to be filed as part of the Quarterly Report. The additional time is required due to a lack of staff on the Company's accounting team, a lack of financial resources available to the Company, which have impacted the Company's ability to, among other things, finalize the Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto in a timely manner, and the Company's on-going evaluation of its ability to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern, for which the Company has concluded it has substantial doubt. The Company's strategic review process remains ongoing.
For the foregoing reasons, the Company requires additional time to complete the procedures relating to its third quarter reporting process, including the completion of the Company's financial statements, and therefore the Company is unable to file the Quarterly Report by November 14, 2024, the prescribed filing due date for the Quarterly Report. The Company does not expect that it will file the Quarterly Report within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) | |||
(2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐ | ||||
(3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes ☒ No ☐ | ||||
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
Management expects a significant reduction in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. To a lesser extent, management also expects a reduction in operating costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. The anticipated reduction in revenue is primarily a result of the lack of customer orders stemming from the lack of clarity on the Company's strategic review outcome, which is still on-going. The reduction in operating costs is a result of on-going cost discipline measures including, but not limited to, reductions in force. Due to delays in finalizing certain financial and other related data in the Quarterly Report, primarily due to (i) a lack of staff on the Company's accounting team, (ii) a lack of financial resources available to the Company, which have impacted the Company's ability to, among other things, finalize the Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto in a timely manner, and (iii) the Company's on-going evaluation of its ability to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern, for which the Company has concluded it has substantial doubt, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of its results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 or the anticipated changes from corresponding prior period results.
