FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation ("Enovix") (Nasdaq: ENVX), a global high-performance battery company, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, which included the summary below from its President and CEO, Dr. Raj Talluri.
Fellow Shareholders,
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we achieved key milestones in manufacturing, technology, and sales, setting the stage for a breakout year in 2025. We are focused on launching our first smartphone battery and converting our IoT pipeline into contracted backlog. Customers across multiple industries are acknowledging the readiness of our manufacturing capabilities, which are coming online at the perfect time to meet strong demand for our high energy-density solutions and diversified supply chain.
Other recent highlights include:
- Record Revenue: Fourth quarter revenues were a record $9.7 million, near the high end of our guidance. Full year 2024 revenues were also a record of $23.1 million, up 202%, from $7.6 million in 2023.
- Smartphone Batteries: We shipped early engineering samples to our lead smartphone OEM, with results confirming that critical safety tests are passing. Additionally, cell dimensions were received in continuation of our agreement. We remain on track for commercial smartphone battery launches in 2025, pending successful completion of customer qualification. Furthermore, a new OEM customer submitted first samples purchase order, expanding our active engagements to 7 of the top 8 smartphone OEMs.
- XR Batteries: Secured a landmark prepaid purchase order from a global technology leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and immersive technologies, reserving dedicated production capacity for next-generation smart eyewear. First samples, featuring our custom cells from Fab2 integrated into packs in our Korea facility, were delivered to the customer earlier this month.
- Manufacturing Readiness: Fab2 in Malaysia completed Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) for the High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM) line, a key milestone in our journey to scale production. Additionally, we were honored to host several customers at our factory in Malaysia, conducting detailed line tours. And multiple OEMs initiated formal factory audits to support their qualification processes.
- Products: We successfully completed safety testing of EX-1M and performance results indicate that we are on track to meet targets for energy density, cycle life, and fast charging. And the first EX-2M samples from Fab2 were shipped to customers on schedule.
- Capitalization: 2024 year-end cash and cash equivalents of $272.9 million and continued operating expense discipline provides optionality for funding additional HVM lines.
2025 is off to a fast start, fueled by accelerating AI innovation and a shifting landscape that is driving OEMs to diversify their supply chains. As a leader in high-energy-density battery technology with manufacturing facilities in Korea and Malaysia, Enovix is well positioned to capitalize on these industry trends.
A key strategic decision in 2024 was to invest in the emerging AI-enabled smart eyewear market by developing a battery cell tailored for this market. We believe this investment is now paying off, as our product is expected to launch as this market is gaining momentum. New estimates from IDC project the smart eyewear market will reach multiple tens of millions of units by 2028, driven by recent hardware and software ecosystem advancements, the growing adoption of AI applications, and the expanding use cases across consumer, enterprise and defense markets. A majority of America's largest tech companies, along with several top-tier Asia-based OEMs, have announced smart eyewear products. However, one major bottleneck remains - no product today delivers resiliency to all-day usage with ever-increasing sensor, communications (WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular, and satellite), and computing demands. This presents a prime opportunity for Enovix. With our high-energy-density battery already developed, HVM ramping up, and many of the market's key players based in our backyard of Silicon Valley, we believe we are well-positioned to lead in this space.
In smartphones, the strong tailwinds we identified last quarter continue in 2025. OEMs are increasingly requesting batteries with capacities near 7,000 milliamp-hours to support the growing power demands of next-generation AI applications. Additionally, with smartphone penetration already at saturation levels, market leaders are intensifying their focus on product differentiation - particularly in regions outside the US, where competition is fierce. We believe that our EX-2M and upcoming EX-3M battery solutions align with evolving demands, reinforcing our role as a strategic partner to leading OEMs.
A new industry trend that has emerged subsequent to our last shareholder letter is supply chain-driven demand, particularly in the defense sector. Soon after the US elections in November, we observed an increase in inbound interest from drone manufacturers and defense suppliers seeking battery solutions that comply with allied country supply chain requirements. As a reminder, a significant portion of our 2024 revenue came from sales of conventional graphite battery products to defense customers. Earlier this month, we secured a purchase order for samples from a new defense customer with over $1 billion in annual sales to the US military, focused on autonomous AI systems. While these developments are still evolving, we are optimistic about the potential upside.
Business Update
Manufacturing. We successfully completed our key fourth-quarter objectives on schedule, including SAT for the HVM line and shipping the first EX-2M samples. We also further improved yields across both the Agility and HVM lines, with incremental targets in place throughout the year that we believe will ensure readiness for smartphone mass production in the fourth quarter of 2025. Customer audits are now underway at our Malaysia facility. While preparing Fab2 for mass production remains our primary manufacturing focus in 2025, we are also prioritizing efforts to accelerate custom cell development timelines. Our initial success in the emerging smart eyewear market was made possible because we dedicated resources to making a new variant of EX-1M designed to fit within the confines of the glasses frames. As we scale, our ability to swiftly develop tailored solutions with precision manufacturing and latest chemistries will play a critical role in our success. Additionally, we continue to act in a disciplined manner to select the right customer opportunities to pursue for long-term growth.
Commercialization. Our business team remains focused on smartphone mass production as the primary commercialization goal for 2025. In October of 2024, we took a major step toward this objective by executing a strategic partnership that outlined key milestones leading up to our entry into the smartphone market by late 2025. This agreement was followed by a purchase order in the fourth quarter of 2024 tied to one of those milestones, and in the first quarter of 2025 we received battery dimensions for a planned 2025 smartphone launch. Additionally, we secured a first purchase order for samples from a new global smartphone manufacturer, expanding our customer engagements to 7 of the top 8 smartphone OEMs.
In addition to being focused on smartphone business, we are also being highly selective with IoT opportunities, prioritizing segments where our technology and global supply chain have a strong competitive advantage. Among these, smart eyewear emerged as a natural fit, and we are now in the process of developing custom cells for marquee customers. This quarter, we shipped our first samples to customers using our Korea-based packing capability that is now fully integrated with our silicon cell production out of Malaysia. Our first commercial shipments are scheduled to commence mid-year, and we are actively securing additional IoT purchase orders.
In the EV space, we continue advancing development agreements with two of the world's largest automotive OEMs. Consistent with our capital-efficient strategy, we remain focused on targeted collaborations that allow us to scale in this vertical while optimizing investment.
Across these markets, our disciplined approach to commercialization ensures that we are not only securing near-term revenue opportunities but also building a foundation for long-term leadership in high-energy-density battery solutions.
Products:
Our battery technology continues to advance across multiple generations, with significant progress in safety and performance validation, customer sampling, and next-generation design. We successfully completed safety testing of EX-1M and performance results indicate that we are on track to meet targets for energy density, cycle life, and fast charging. For EX-2M, we delivered early engineering samples to OEMs across both smartphone and IoT markets and received positive feedback. Additionally, EX-2M has outperformed traditional graphite-based cells in select safety tests such as crush and impact tests. We are now refining our electrochemistry to further enhance performance metrics. Looking ahead, we have officially kicked off the design phase for EX-3M. As we continue refining key performance specifications, we are incorporating feedback from lead OEMs to ensure alignment with their evolving requirements. Our goal is to finalize the EX-3M design in early 2025, paving the way for our next-generation battery technology.
These advancements reflect our commitment to delivering high-performance, high-energy-density battery solutions across multiple product categories, reinforcing our position as a leader in battery innovation.
Financials: Revenue was $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, near the high end of our guidance range and up more than 30 percent year over year. A majority of revenues were from our conventional battery capacity in South Korea which is seeing a positive demand environment from defense customers and benefiting from increased collaboration with our US engineers. Our GAAP cost of revenue was $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 leading to the Company's first ever positive gross margin which totaled $1.1 million or 11% of sales.
Our GAAP operating expenses were $35.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $48.6 million in the third quarter, which reflects some of the expense reductions related to our shift of various functions to lower cost regions such as Malaysia and India. Our non-GAAP operating expenses were $24.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, down from $27.2 million in the previous quarter.
Our GAAP net loss attributable to Enovix was $37.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $22.5 million in the previous quarter. As a reminder our GAAP net loss is impacted quarterly by changes in fair value of common stock warrants, which resulted in a $5.1 million expense in the fourth quarter compared to a $29.9 million benefit in the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a loss of $11.7 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $21.6 million in the previous quarter. The sequential improvement was driven by positive gross margin, lower operating expenses and a $1.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization.
Earnings per share loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.20 on a GAAP basis and $0.11 on a non-GAAP basis compared to third quarter earnings per share loss of $0.30 on a GAAP basis and $0.17 on a non-GAAP basis.
We exited 2024 with $272.9 million of cash and cash equivalents following the receipts of approximately $107 million of net proceeds from an equity offering in the fourth quarter which was partially offset by $16.0 million used in operating activities and capital expenditures of $16.4 million during the quarter.
A full reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results is available later in this report.
Outlook
For the first quarter of 2025, we expect revenue between $3.5 million and $5.5 million, a GAAP EPS loss of $0.23 to $0.29, an adjusted EBITDA loss of $21.0 million to $27.0 million, and a non-GAAP EPS loss of $0.15 to $0.21.
Summary
The top milestones we identified at the beginning of 2024 were achieving SAT for agility and our high-volume manufacturing lines in Malaysia and delivering samples of our leading smartphone batteries, EX-1M and EX-2M, to customers. Not only did we hit these top milestones, we also advanced relationships with market leaders in smartphones, AR/VR, and automotive industries. We believe that these relationships, supported by purchase orders and commercial launch schedules, provide a clear path for us to commence mass production in 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss per share, and other non-GAAP measures are intended as supplemental financial measures of our performance that provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results, trends, and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies.
However, you should be aware that other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP, which adjustments reflect the exercise of judgment by management. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the tables at the end of this shareholder letter.
While Enovix provides first quarter 2025 guidance for adjusted EBITDA loss and non-GAAP EPS loss, we are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of these projected non-GAAP measures. Such qualitative reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjustments that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation. For the same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Net Loss Attributable to Enovix to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
While we prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we also utilize and present certain financial measures that are not based on GAAP. We refer to these financial measures as "non-GAAP" financial measures. In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures in evaluating its financial and operational performance distinct and apart from financing costs, certain non-cash expenses and non-operational expenses.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
We use non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning, budgeting and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing its operating performance and comparing its performance with competitors and other comparable companies. You should review the reconciliations below but not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
"EBITDA" is defined as earnings (net loss) attributable to Enovix adjusted for interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization expense. "Adjusted EBITDA" includes additional adjustments to EBITDA such as stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of common stock warrants, inventory step-up, impairment of equipment and other special items as determined by management which it does not believe to be indicative of its underlying business trends.

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation
We define "Free Cash Flow" as (i) net cash from operating activities less (ii) capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment, all of which are derived from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that this financial measure is useful to investors because it provides investors to view our performance using the same tool that we use to gauge our progress in achieving our goals and it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. Below is a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities to the Free Cash Flow financial measures for the periods presented below (in thousands):
