Operating cash burn improved by 22% to $2.4 million. Management highlighted a new long-term supply agreement with ADDMAN and a commercial pipeline nearing $300 million. The company's powder business expanded due to increased adoption of additive manufacturing and stronger demand for domestic critical materials.
