Technical indicators provide some neutral signals, but they are insufficient to offset the poor financial and valuation scores. The absence of earnings call insights and corporate events limits the potential for a higher assessment.

Energous Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company Description

Energous Corporation develops wireless charging solutions. The company develops WattUp wireless power technology that consists of semiconductor chipsets, software controls, hardware designs, and antennas that enables radio frequency-based charging for electronic devices. The company's products are used in building and home automation, electronic shelf labels, industrial IoT sensors, surface and implanted medical devices, tracking devices, hearables, wearables, consumer electronics, and public safety applications. Energous Corporation was formerly known as DvineWave Inc. and changed its name to Energous Corporation in January 2014. The company was incorporated in 2012 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.

How the Company Makes Money

Energous Corporation generates revenue primarily through the licensing of its proprietary wireless charging technology to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other partners. The company enters into strategic partnerships and collaborations to integrate its WattUp technology into various electronic devices, enabling these partners to offer wireless charging capabilities to end-users. Additionally, Energous may earn revenue from direct sales of wireless charging transmitters and receivers, as well as from engineering services related to the customization and integration of its technology into partner devices. The company's revenue model is heavily reliant on establishing and maintaining strong partnerships with OEMs and growing the adoption of its technology across multiple industries.

Energous Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Energous is experiencing significant financial difficulties, characterized by declining revenue, negative profit margins, and an unstable balance sheet with negative equity. The negative cash flows further emphasize the company’s liquidity and operational challenges. The overall financial health is troubling, necessitating strategic changes to improve profitability and stabilize the balance sheet.

Income Statement

Energous has faced consistent revenue challenges with significant declines in EBIT and net income. The company has posted negative net profit and EBIT margins, indicating ongoing operational inefficiencies. Despite minor revenue growth from 2023 to 2024, the profit margins remain negative, reflecting continued financial strain.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet reveals a concerning negative stockholders' equity and increased leverage, with a high debt-to-equity ratio due to negative equity. The equity ratio is also negative, indicating that liabilities exceed assets. These factors highlight a precarious financial position with potential solvency risks.

Cash Flow

Energous shows a poor cash flow position with negative free cash flow and operating cash flow. The operating cash flow to net income ratio is unfavorable, suggesting inefficiencies in converting earnings to cash. However, a stable financing cash flow indicates some capital raising capability.
