During and after the period, Realfiction has experienced the following development in its business:
Directional Pixel TechnologyTM (“DPT”): In the third quarter, we achieved a significant milestone by completing our first DPT-related commercial agreement. This custom proof-of-concept project, valued at SEK 7.4 million, marked our first revenue from an undisclosed commercial customer and underscores the groundbreaking potential of DPT. During meetings and presentations, we have consistently encountered requests to validate the viability of our mass-production plans. We therefore also made significant strides toward establishing a scalable production framework for our Directional Pixel Technology™ (DPT). The production of a key DPT component is now being established. By producing the DPT key component ourselves, we simplify the path to licensing by providing a clear and scalable manufacturing framework. We have also entered preliminary discussions for a potential collaboration with a leading MicroLED technology company. Engineers from both sides are now collectively exploring the potential for DPT in MicroLED applications, a development that could redefine display capabilities in this emerging field. To meet growing demand, we are expanding our team in Taiwan to strengthen innovation, collaboration, and support for the commercialization of DPT.
Mixed Reality displays: In Q3, revenue from sales and rentals of our mixed reality displays reached nearly the same level as in Q3-2023, reflecting stable interest in these offerings. Notably, our order backlog going into Q4-2024 stands at SEK 1.4 million, compared to SEK 0.2 million at the same time last year, indicating a positive trend for the coming months. While our primary focus remains on advancing our DPT platform, the cash flows generated by our mixed reality business are fully reinvested into DPT, supporting its continued growth and development.
Financial runway: Like in the first half of 2024, we see a reduction of our cash outflows from operations and investments due to the shift to the commercialization phase from the development stage. This lower level of cash outflows and the payment from the first DPT commercial agreement, expected before the end of 2024, extends our liquidity through the first half of 2025 under the planned assumptions. As a result, we decided against utilizing the second tranche of our loan facility with Formue Nord.
CEO Clas Dyrholm comments: “Q3 has been a transformative quarter for Realfiction, marked by our first DPT-related commercial agreement and significant strides in establishing scalable production capabilities with Goworld. Our innovative DPT platform continues to attract attention, from MicroLED collaboration discussions to growing interest across industries. While our financial runway extends through the first half of 2025, we are investing in our R&D facilities in Taiwan and beyond to drive innovation and support commercialization. With these advances, I am optimistic about Realfiction’s future and our ability to redefine the display industry together with our people, shareholders and partners. “
