Financial and Operational Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are pleased to report another period of strong financial performance, with total sales of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2023,\u201d said Dr. Mark Zediker, CEO and Co-Founder of NUBURU. \u201cOur top line improved over 2,000% on a year-over-year basis, supported by the strong market adoption of our transformational blue laser technology and continued execution of product deliveries to our commercial customers, Essentium and GE Additive. Our heads-down approach in delivering the highest quality and energy efficient manufacturing solutions remains our top priority and is underpinned by the progress we\u2019ve made in introducing additional product lines within our core technology portfolio.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWith the recent product launch of our new NUBURU BL\u2122 Series Laser, our market positioning for long-term growth continues to develop,\u201d added Zediker. \u201cIn tandem with the accelerating market demand we recognize for sustainable welding and 3D printing technologies, we\u2019ve also witnessed an increased interest in our products by blue chip customers such as NASA. As announced earlier this month, we\u2019ve signed a contract with NASA, showcasing the breadth of possible applications for our IP-protected technology.<\/p>\n \n\u201cAs we look forward to the remainder of the year, we remain cognizant of the supply chain conditions that present bottlenecks in the procurement process for scanner and lens related components. However, with alternative sourcing initiatives in place, we believe such material constraints will abate toward the end of the second half of this year. As part of our top-down approach to boost gross margins and revenue expansion, our team consistently assesses opportunities for implementing operational efficiencies and cost-saving measures \u2013 all of which reinforces our confidence in achieving Full Year sales in excess of $3 million.\u201d<\/p>\n Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2023 as Compared to the Second Quarter 2022<\/b><\/p>\n Total revenues<\/b> were $1.1 million compared to $0.04 million, or a 2,125% year-over-year increase, primarily due to an increase in the number of laser system revenues and the product and customer mix of laser system revenues during the same period.<\/p>\n Total gross profit (loss)<\/b> was $(1.4) million, compared to $(1.2) million, primarily attributable to a one-time write off of approximately $0.6 million related to excess and obsolete AO product line inventory.<\/p>\n Gross margin<\/b> was (136)%, compared to (2,574)%, driven by increasing revenue and partially offset by the one-time impact of the AO product line inventory write off.<\/p>\n Total operating expenses<\/b> were $5.0 million, compared to $2.7 million. The increase is primarily attributable to one-time professional fees associated with legal, compliance and accounting matters following the business combination and the transitioning to being a public company. Further contributors to the increase were regular general and administrative costs associated with the Company’s status as a public company and increased costs for research and development of tooling and supplies related to the development of the BL product line.<\/p>\n Net loss<\/b> was $6.1 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.71 per share, as a result of the above-described increase in total operating expenses.<\/p>\n EBITDA<\/b> was $(6.0) million, compared to $(3.8) million.<\/p>\n Capital expenditures<\/b> were $0.5 million, compared to $0.1 million. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in production capabilities to support additional product lines.<\/p>\n Free cash flow<\/b> was $(5.1) million, compared to $(2.9) million, primarily attributable to the increase in total operating expenses.<\/p>\n Cash and cash equivalents<\/b> were $6.6 million as of June 30, 2023.<\/p>\n Financial Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Company reiterated its 2023 outlook of total revenue in excess of $3 million, EBITDA in the range of negative $21.0 million and negative $23.0 million, and free cash flow to be in the range of negative $24 million and negative $26 million. The Company believes that it has access to sufficient sources of capital to fund this business plan.<\/p>\n Conference Call and Webcast<\/b><\/p>\n \nNUBURU will hold a conference call to discuss financial results on Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 2:30 p.m. MT \/ 4:30 p.m. ET.

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively and in context, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies that may present similar non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures included in this release are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, similar measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. NUBURU believes EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use these non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We also use these non-GAAP measures to assess performance against business objectives, make business decisions, develop budgets, forecast future periods, assess trends, and evaluate financial impacts of various scenarios. Additionally, we believe that these non-GAAP measures, in combination with its financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective. To gain a complete picture of all effects on our financial results from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP measures as well, as the items excluded from non-GAAP measures may contribute to not accurately reflecting the underlying performance of the company\u2019s continuing operations for the period in which they are incurred. Furthermore, the use of non-GAAP measures has limitations in that such measures do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.<\/p>\n Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n \nThis press release contains certain \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including certain financial forecasts and projections and relationships with customers and third parties.

non-GAAP financial measures. See \u201cNon-GAAP Information\u201d below for our definitions of, and additional information about, EBITDA and Free cash flow and for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.<\/p>\n Non-GAAP Information<\/b><\/p>\n \nIn addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively and in context, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies that may present similar non-GAAP financial measures.<\/p>\n EBITDA and Free Cash Flow<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \nWe define \u201cEBITDA\u201d as income (loss), plus (minus) depreciation and amortization expenses, plus (minus) interest, plus (minus) taxes and \u201cFree cash flow\u201d as net cash from (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. EBITDA and Free cash flow are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP and these measures should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss), and net cash used in operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of EBITDA and Free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA or Free cash flow in the same fashion.<\/p>\n Limitations of Non-GAAP Measures<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \nThere are a number of limitations related to EBITDA, including the following:<\/p>\n \nBecause of these and other limitations, EBITDA and Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Free cash flow on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of our net loss to EBITDA and net loss to Free cash flow below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.<\/p>\n \nOur presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items and our presentation of Free cash flow does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund our cash needs.<\/p>\n Reconciliation<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \nThe following table reconciles our net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA) to
