Investigation Into Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (EVLV):

The investigation is focused on the propriety of Evolv’s repeated assurances that its financial reports complied with applicable accounting rules and that its internal controls over financial reporting were sufficient.

Evolv’s assurances came under question on October 25, 2024, when it said that it would not timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

The company also said that: (1) it “made a preliminary determination that certain sales, including sales to one of its largest channel partners, were subject to extra-contractual terms and conditions[;]” (2) “certain Company personnel engaged in misconduct in connection with those transactions[;]” and (3) “revenue was prematurely or incorrectly recognized in connection with financial statements prepared for the periods between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2024.”

As a result, Evolv warned investors against relying on its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 and for the quarters and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

This news drove the price of Evolv shares crashing about 46% lower during intraday trading on October 25, 2024.

“We’re focused on whether Evolv intentionally cooked its books and the pending restatements,” said Reid Kathrein, the partner leading the investigation.
