The company's liquidity position improved, with unrestricted cash reaching $464.7 million, and a reduction in cash use by approximately 35%. Nikola's first modular hydrogen fueling station opened in Ontario, California, with plans for further expansion. The company's 2023 gross loss was reported at negative $214.1 million, primarily due to the battery-electric truck recall. Net truck revenue for 2023 was $30.1 million, with additional revenue of $5.8 million from services and other sources. Looking ahead, Nikola anticipates delivering 300-350 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks in 2024, with a revenue forecast between $150-$170 million. The company also addressed questions regarding its differentiation from competitors and clarified misinformation about the discontinued Badger program.
