Recent Developments at Evolv Technologies
On October 25, 2024, Evolv Technologies made headlines when it issued a press release stating that its shareholders should not rely on previous financial statements and announced delays in filing its Quarterly Report for the period ending September 30, 2024. This revelation came in light of an internal investigation concerning the company’s sales practices. It was disclosed that certain sales may have involved extra-contractual terms impacting revenue recognition and other critical metrics. Furthermore, it was revealed that the accounting for some sales transactions was inaccurate, leading to premature or incorrect revenue recognition from the second quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2024.
These unsettling disclosures took a toll on Evolv's stock price, which plummeted by $1.63 per share, or nearly 40%, to close at $2.47 on the day of the announcement.
Just days later, on October 31, 2024, the company's challenges mounted further when it announced the immediate termination of CEO Peter George. This triggered additional drops in stock price, which fell again, this time by $0.19 per share, settling at $2.15.
