New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 20, 2024) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against XPEL, Inc. ("XPEL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: XPEL) and reminds investors of the October 7, 2024 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) XPEL's competitors were siphoning an increasingly large segment of the market; (ii) as a result, the Company's revenue growth became increasingly dependent upon existing customers and partners; (iii) as a result, the Company's revenue growth for 2023 and 2024 dwindled; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On October 19, 2023, Culper Research issued a report alleging that XPEL "grossly understated its reliance on Tesla." In the prior week, Tesla stated that it would be eliminating XPEL from its supply chain. In response, XPEL stated that Tesla represented only 5% of its revenues. However, Culper Research estimated that Tesla actually represents 25% to 35% of XPEL's paint protection films ("PPF") business. Culper Research further alleged that XPEL "is concealing a massive undisclosed risk from its primary supplier which threatens to upend the [XPEL]'s entire reason for being." Specifically, Culper Research claimed that XPEL's long-time supplier, entrotech, inc., formed a joint venture with PPG, which has integrated protection technology directly into OEM paint. Culper Research noted that while "XPEL has historically disclosed it substantial reliance on entrotech in its filings," it had "conspicuously removed all mentions of entrotech in its most recent Form10-K and 10-Qs."
