We have entered into a long-term lease for our new Livermore production campus and expect to invest significant capital to equip and operate it, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of this expansion on the expected timeline or at all.
In July 2026, subsequent to the end of the quarter covered by this report, we opened our new Livermore, California production campus ("Forge 1"), which we expect to serve as our primary production and manufacturing center. We have entered into a long-term lease for the facility, and we expect that bringing Forge 1 to full operation will require significant future capital expenditures and ongoing operating and lease commitments, and will depend on our ability to equip, commission, qualify and ramp the facility and to install and validate a substantial number of additive manufacturing systems over time. The facility will commence operations in phases and is not yet operating at scale.
We may encounter delays, cost overruns, supply chain or equipment constraints, permitting or infrastructure issues, difficulty hiring and retaining qualified personnel, or technical and qualification challenges, any of which could prevent us from achieving anticipated production capacity, output or cost efficiencies when expected or at all. Because a significant portion of the campus's costs, including our lease obligations, are fixed, if customer demand does not materialize as anticipated, or grows more slowly than expected, we may operate the facility below capacity and fail to achieve expected returns, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our public statements regarding anticipated capacity, system counts and timing are subject to these risks and may not be realized.
