Commercial Product Traction (Robotics, Defense, High-Voltage)
Commenced commercial deliveries of battery systems for robotics and shipments to two defense contractors; shipped 300 packs in the quarter for robotics (robotics is the #2 revenue contributor after material handling). Also commenced shipments of high-voltage battery systems with expected revenue contribution starting in FY2027.
Jamestown Manufacturing Progress
Significant site progress: dry room construction underway, reinforced floors, infrastructure equipment on site, and key hires (cell manufacturing lead Ok-soo Han and additional process engineers). Factory acceptance testing for cell production lines planned in Korea starting late summer; production targeted to commence in 2027.
Advanced Technology & Energy Storage Development
Advancing ceramic separator program, solid-state work accelerated after dry room upgrade, and ultra-fast charging niobium-oxide anode cells demonstrated ~5-minute charge/discharge (cells ~40Ah, >10C). Targeting customer sampling this year and commercial availability in 2027. Energy storage platforms (AC 1,500V and DC 800V) being developed for mission-critical applications with UL 9540A certification goals; Department of Energy project win noted.
Backlog/Pipeline Visibility
Combined backlog/frontlog/pipeline cited in press materials of approximately $100M–$125M (primarily material handling), providing multi-year visibility for current volumes and supporting planned capacity expansion.
Airport and Field Pilots Progressing
Airport ground support equipment trials progressing; demonstration battery systems are operating commercially at multiple airports (previously referenced as pilots at two airports).
