The action alleges that during the Class Period, Evolv made material misstatements in its financial statements relating revenue recognition and other revenue-related metrics. The truth began to emerge on October 25, 2024, when Evolv announced that its financial statements issued between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2024 should not be relied upon due to material misstatements impacting revenue recognition and other reported metrics that are a function of revenue. The Company revealed that “certain sales, including sales to one of its largest channel partners, were subject to extra-contractual terms and conditions” that were not shared with Evolv’s accounting personnel and that “certain Company personnel engaged in misconduct in connection with those transactions.” In addition, Evolv announced plans to “report one or more additional material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting,” and that the filing of its quarterly report for the third quarter of 2024 will be delayed. According to the Company, it has “self-reported these issues” to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. On this news, Evolv’s common stock price fell $1.63 per share, or approximately 40%, from its closing price of $4.10 per share on October 24, 2024, to close at $2.47 per share on October, 25, 2024, on unusually high trading volume.
A week later, Evolv announced that the Company’s long-time CEO Peter George had been terminated and temporarily replaced by the Company’s Chief Innovation Officer. Following this news, Evolv’s common stock price fell $0.19 per share, or approximately 8%, from its closing price of $2.34 per share on October 30, 2024 to close at $2.15 per share on October 31, 2024, on unusually high trading volume.
