VTOL Aircraft Developer XTI Aerospace Secures $4 Million Through Public Offering to Eliminate Debt and Bolster Working Capital
XTI Aerospace has announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering aimed at raising approximately $4 million in gross proceeds.
The offering consists of 2,941,200 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants) and warrants to purchase an additional 2,941,200 shares, all priced at $1.36 per share and warrant.
The company intends to use the proceeds for working capital and to fully repay its outstanding secured promissory notes, with the offering expected to close on March 31, 2025.
Key Points
- ThinkEquity is serving as the sole book-running manager for the offering
- The warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance with a five-year exercise period
- XTI faces significant financial challenges with a concerning current ratio of 0.46 and EBITDA of -$19.72 million
- The company's stock has declined 87.57% year-to-date, with its market capitalization at just $8.7 million
- XTI Aerospace is known for developing the TriFan 600, an innovative fixed-wing aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities
What It Means
This capital raise appears to be primarily defensive, focused on debt elimination rather than accelerating product development.
The offering structure and pricing suggest XTI is facing liquidity constraints, with the $4 million raise representing nearly half of its current market capitalization.
Without rapid progress toward profitability or securing strategic investment, the company may require additional dilutive financings to sustain operations.
