Record Quarterly and Annual Revenue
Q4 2025 revenue of $11.3M (record quarter), up 16% year-over-year; Full Year 2025 revenue of $31.8M (record year), up 38% year-over-year. Q4 revenue was above the top end of guidance ($10.5M).
Improving Gross Margins
Q4 non-GAAP gross profit of $2.9M for a non-GAAP gross margin of ~26%; Full Year 2025 non-GAAP gross margin improved to 23%, reflecting higher volumes and favorable mix shift toward higher-margin defense batteries after April 2025 asset acquisition.
Strong Liquidity and Capital Actions
Ended year with approximately $621M in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; Board authorized a share repurchase program, signaling balance-sheet strength and capital allocation flexibility.
Smartphone Qualification Progress
Engagement expanded to 7 of the top 8 global smartphone OEMs with formal qualification underway with lead mobile customer (Honor) since Q3 2025. Internal 0.2C cycle-life testing indicates likely exceedance of the 1,000-cycle requirement at 0.2C, increasing confidence toward smartphone integration and system planning.
Smart Eyewear — Near-Term Commercial Pathway
Smart eyewear positioned as an accelerated commercialization pathway due to lower qualification barriers and lower cycle-life thresholds; company preparing production to support initial high-volume demand from lead smart eyewear customer and expects first smart eyewear battery shipments in H2 2026. Company estimates smart-eyewear battery TAM could exceed $400M by 2030.
Defense and Drone Momentum / Pipeline
Defense shipments remained the largest contributor in 2025 (naval munitions top Q4 product); company reports a global pipeline of ~ $100M with multiple Tier 1 defense contractors. Drone battery opportunity highlighted with an estimated TAM of ~$1.5B this year.
Energy Density and R&D Roadmap
Internal testing shows a high-energy drone cell at ~342 Wh/kg with a roadmap targeting >400 Wh/kg for next-generation silicon-anode products, supporting longer flight times and expanded mission capabilities.
Operational and Manufacturing Strengthening
Key operational hires (Head of Global Manufacturing and Head of Advanced Manufacturing Engineering) added to support scale-up. Yields and throughput improving across Fab2; most process steps achieving >= ~80% yields and recent progress on rate-limiting Zone 1 laser dicing.
