Aeva Technologies’s figures as the company reported them in its filings. Quarters are calendar quarters, so a company whose year ends in January shows each fiscal quarter under the calendar quarter it falls in. An empty slot is a quarter we hold no figure for.

- Backlog. The transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations on contracts longer than one year was $28.7M at 2026-06-30, about 30% expected to be recognised over the next 12 months. [sec.gov: 10-Q filed 2026-08-06, same URL as item 2, revenue note]

- New business and programme news. The company launched an Optical Connectivity business and signed a joint development agreement for a Near-Packaged Optics solution for a hyperscaler, with initial deployment targeted for second-half 2027 and a production ramp for 2028. Bendix selected Aeva for the next generation of its commercial-vehicle ADAS solution. SICK launched its first Eve-powered industrial sensor.

- CFO transition.

- Where the new filings meet the carried view (stated as fact, no line changed). The carried seed catalyst asks to "watch product-vs-NRE revenue split + any SEPA draw" in the Q2 print: item 2 gives the split, and the passages read do not say whether the standby equity facility was drawn. The carried seed lists "capital raise / SEPA draw (DilutionIssuing new shares, so each existing share owns a smaller slice of the same company. event)" as near-certain within 12 months: item 3 shows a $115.0M public offering that closed on 2026-06-05, before the carried dossier's date, although the carried RunwayHow long the cash lasts at the current rate of spending. It shortens the moment spending rises, which is why a figure taken from a quiet quarter flatters. lens cites $99.5M of liquidity at March 2026 plus an undrawn $125M SEPA and does not mention the offering. The release lists a $125.0M available facility; whether it is that SEPA is not stated in the passages read. The carried seed says the "European OEM identity + program economics/volume disclosure" was "still pending as of Q1 filing": the Q2 release still names it only as a "top 10 European passenger OEM". The carried risk "64% from 3 customers" is not refreshed here. The carried seed's price figures rest on market data this delta does not refresh.
