Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 were $1.7 million in sales and delivery of their battery-electric Workhorse vehicles this quarter. The vehicles delivered were the range-extended Workhorse E-GEN.
Steve Burns, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As we continue to deliver our battery-electric medium-duty trucks to our customers, we are experiencing a wide adoption of this innovative technology that we believe will transform the industry. We will continue to ramp up production and execute delivery of customer orders on a fast pace and we are receiving great feedback and accolades for our product's efficiency and user experience."
Gross margin was negative $2.5 million for the quarter. As we increase volume, we are starting to get volume pricing from our suppliers, continuing to engineer out costs and achieving manufacturing efficiencies so we are on track to profitability faster than anticipated. Research and Development for the quarter were $3.2 million higher than last year due to an added focus on the US Postal Service's Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGVD) project, and for building the W-15 pickup truck and the multi-copter prototypes.
Cash used from operation year to date was $13 million used for working capital, including inventory purchases for our current backlog and R&D expenses primarily related to the USPS Next Generation Delivery Vehicle project and the W-15 pickup truck. On the financing activities, we received funds from a stock public offering ($20.5 million net).
