2. Working Capital Position
The company ended 2025 with a working capital deficit of $16.2 million, reversing from an $11.8 million surplus at the end of 2024. This swing underscores ongoing liquidity pressures and the need for disciplined capital deployment.
3. Cost Reduction and Cash Burn
Surgepays cut operating expenses to achieve a current monthly cash burn of $250,000–$300,000, down from higher levels in prior quarters. Management emphasized a more disciplined operating model aimed at extending runway and improving margins.
