XL Fleet Corp. (NYSE: XL) Investigation:
The investigation centers on XL Fleet's statements about certain financial metrics and business prospects.
In past quarters, XL Fleet has touted its long-term growth potential in transforming gas-powered vehicles into hybrids, emphasizing its $220 million+ 12 month sales pipeline and growing customer base.
But on Mar. 3, 2021, XL Fleet's growth story was called into question when analyst Muddy Waters Research published a scathing report calling the company "More SPAC Trash."
Based on interviews with former employees, Muddy Waters claims that XL Fleet's management systemically inflates the company's backlog and grossly overstates the company's customer base, with at least 18 of 33 touted customers being inactive. Citing former sales personnel, Muddy Waters also alleges that XL misleads its customers about performance and savings and, due to these exaggerations, customer reorder rates are quite low. Finally, Muddy Waters charges the company with exaggerating sales projections and overstating its technological capabilities.
In response, the price of XL shares fell sharply lower.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether XL misled investors by exaggerating its order backlog," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
