KULR Chief Financial Officer Shawn Canter noted, “KULR posted
another record quarter – the second in a row – with revenue more than double that of the same quarter of 2022, and triple
the revenues seen in the first nine-months of this year versus the same nine-month period last year.” Commenting on KULR’s
renewed focus on capital allocation, Canter said, “It is important to highlight that through the first 9 months of 2023, we reduced
our cash used for operations by almost 20% against the same time period last year all while increasing revenue by 244%.”
Looking forward, President and Chief Operating Officer Keith Cochran
pointed out, “Management is enthusiastic about this continued growth trend. Given what our team is seeing today, management is confidently
on track and comfortable with analysts’ fourth quarter 2023 revenue estimates.”
