InvestorNewsBreaks – Aterian Inc. (NASDAQ: ATER) Releases Statement Regarding Inaccurate, Misleading Culper Research Report

May 5, 2021

Aterian (NASDAQ: ATER) has released a statement regarding the May 4, 2021, short seller Culper Research issued. Aterian noted that the report contained numerous false and misleading statements about the company and appeared to be an attempt to negatively impact and manipulate Aterian’s share price. Specifically the statement noted issues with information regarding revenue from its Healing Solutions revenue, which excluded revenue from hand sanitizer products; technology and AIMEE(TM) (“AIMEE”), Aterian’s leading technology-enabled software platform; and the company’s business performance, which the statement noted included a CAGR of 79% since 2016 and more than $150 million in revenue since the third quarter of 2020. In addition, the statement discussed ATER’s comprehensive approach to M&A and due diligence, noting that the company stood behind its robust process for our acquisitions, which includes extensive financial, legal and other due diligence. The statement also shared that the company’s mission is to create and acquire best-in-class products and brands globally and that its investment in technology is designed to streamline each of these moving parts. “We caution shareholders from making investment decisions based on this report,” the statement noted. “We are proud of our track record of building and acquiring brands, our successful M&A strategy, our proprietary AIMEE platform and our financial performance. The report contains many mischaracterizations and factual inaccuracies regarding our company.”
