Analyst Q&A
Q: Size the total addressable market in dollar terms in the U.S. for the David?
A: Difficult to size as it's predicated on fee price being negotiated; past military diving system price was ~$50,000 per unit but depends on customer acceptance.
Q: Timing for unmanned underwater vehicle market opportunity for CODA from revenue perspective, design wins, production start?
A: NanoGen series expected initial adoption in third and fourth quarters under product improvement programs; conversations ongoing for design wins with new vehicle platforms, and shorter timeline expected with European defence community pivoting to smaller quantity, shorter cycle purchases.
Q: How does rising oil prices impact demand for products?
A: Not really as development cycle isn't responsive to oil price changes, so not seeing increased demand currently.
Q: Thoughts on why marine technology product hasn't scaled back to prior levels and long-term growth potential?
A: Bread and butter currently in commercial marine market; long-term growth potential relies on programs maturing, with focus on near-term opportunities in product improvement programs and pull-through sales from David product line.
