"The general economic landscape, and the rising interest rate environment are creating challenges and downward pressure on customer demand for most models across both brands," explained Joseph Visconti, CEO and President of Twin Vee PowerCats Co. "Not only are entry level buyers affected by higher interest rates, but cash buyers and boat clubs are also exhibiting reduced appetites. Due to the challenging environment and changing consumer behavior, Twin Vee's executive team is working to effectuate tighter operating controls while looking to the future, smartly developing new models, expanding the dealer network, and laying the groundwork for the next market upswing. While we've concluded it is time to tighten the fiscal belt in terms of controlling operational costs, we believe it is also time to lay the groundwork for when buyers pivot back to consumer driven demand. My team is working hard focusing on controlling costs and developing new and innovative models that will excite the marketplace when the tide turns. Our goal is to not burn cash on operational losses and only spend on infrastructure, product development, and revenue generating investments. For example, our brand-new Gen 2 400 GFX is already in production and a new 280 GFX dual console is soon to follow."
