Tesla's Q1 2023 earnings report has slightly missed revenue and profit expectations, causing the stock to slip after hours. The company reported Q1 revenue of $23.33 billion, which is slightly lower than Street estimates of $23.35 billion, but still represents a 24% increase from a year ago. However, the gross margin has dipped below 20% to 19.3% due to recent price cuts impacting profitability.
Tesla's adjusted net income for Q1 was $2.9 billion, less than the $3.03 billion estimated by the Street, and a billion less than last quarter and $700 million less than a year ago. The effects of margin compression could be at play here as revenue stays flat-ish and profit dips.
In a statement, the company mentioned that they implemented price reductions on many vehicle models across regions in the first quarter, but their operating margins reduced at a manageable rate. Tesla remains focused on operating leverage as they scale and expects ongoing cost reduction of their vehicles, including improved production efficiency at their newest factories and lower logistics costs.
