While Mini segment production grew 51% YoY in June, sales in the Mini segment declined 43.2% month-on-month from April-June 2025 to April-June 2026 (based on earlier filing), indicating demand instability in the entry-level segment.

Sierra volumes were impacted by supply constraints in Q1, with corrective measures underway. If not resolved quickly, it could delay deliveries and impact Q2 revenue.
