The electric bus company says some 300 employees will be let go in the coming days in a 30 per cent cut to its workforce. It expects most of the layoffs to be temporary.
Lion Electric previously laid off about 220 employees in a pair of announcements in February and April. The Montreal-based company says the layoffs are part of a plan to better align its costs with current demand. The plan also involves ramping down production of electric trucks, creating a new product line to sell its battery packs to third parties and potentially leasing out a big chunk of its plant in Joliet, Ill.
The announcement comes as the company reported net losses that ballooned 63 per cent to US$19.3 million in the second quarter and a 48 per cent drop in revenue to US$30.3 million compared with the year before. In the three months ended June 30, Lion Electric says it delivered 101 vehicles – a drop of nearly 50 per cent year-over-year – and a diluted loss of nine cents per share versus a loss of five cents per share a year earlier, beating analysts expectations.Study and track financial data on any traded entity: click to open the full quote page.
