Key Financial Performance
Revenue Revenue for the quarter was $30.5 million, double what we reported in Q2, supported by shipments to 5 different customers. This shows a significant increase in production volumes and automation efforts taking hold. Average selling price was also higher and more in line with expectations going forward.
Gross Loss Gross loss for the quarter was $33.9 million, slightly more than last quarter as revenue doubled on increased volume. This demonstrates a 92-point improvement in gross margin, showing scalability of operations as production ramps.
Net Loss Net loss for the quarter was $641.1 million, primarily driven by noncash fair value adjustments of approximately $569 million related to warrants and derivatives on the balance sheet. This was largely due to a 122% increase in stock price quarter-over-quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss Adjusted EBITDA loss was $52.7 million compared to $51.6 million in Q2. Net margin improved by 166 basis points, reflecting efficiency gains in production scaling across the business.
Cash Position Ended the quarter with $126.8 million in total cash. Post quarter close, customer receipts in October and monetization of $11.8 million of 45X production tax credits further strengthened the cash position.
Safety Incidents Safety incidents reduced by 84% from Q2 to Q3, and year-to-date are 41% better than industry average. This improvement reflects a strong focus on safety measures.
Battery Defects Battery defects decreased by 45% from Q2 to Q3. Bipolars accounted for 70% of defects, and with a complete cutover to 100% automated bipolar production in Q4, defects are expected to decrease by another 63%.

Risk or Challenges
Market Conditions: The company is navigating a highly competitive and rapidly evolving energy storage market. There is a need to scale operations and meet increasing demand for long-duration energy storage solutions, which could be challenging given the current production and supply chain constraints.
Operational Challenges: The company is transitioning to a new optimized building to improve production efficiency. However, the current setup involves moving materials across multiple floors and buildings, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs. Additionally, the company is still working on reducing battery defects and improving automation.
Financial Risks: The company reported a net loss of $641.1 million, primarily driven by noncash fair value adjustments. While these adjustments are not operational losses, they reflect volatility in stock price and could impact investor confidence. The company is also working to achieve positive gross margins by Q1 2026, which indicates ongoing financial pressure.
Regulatory and Compliance Risks: The company is under scrutiny following a short report alleging issues with its operations. While the company has denied these allegations, such reports can create reputational risks and potential regulatory investigations.
Supply Chain Risks: The company relies on a concentrated supply base, with 9 key suppliers making up 80% of its bill of materials. Any disruptions in this supply chain could significantly impact production and costs.
Strategic Execution Risks: The company is scaling its operations and entering new markets, such as the U.K. Cap-and-Floor program and U.S. data centers. However, the success of these initiatives depends on effective execution and meeting customer expectations for long-duration energy storage solutions.

Key Q&A
Q:Can you provide an update on the timeline around Factory 2 outside TA? And if Project AMAZE will need to be completed before Factory 2 lines go live?
A:Building and automation partners can deliver a line every 90 days, and this work can be done simultaneously going forward.
Q:As the company navigates a capital-intensive scale-up phase, how are you balancing the need for fresh funding with the imperative to avoid excessive shareholder dilution? And what milestones might unlock access to lower-cost capital?
A:The company is positioned to add manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand and is committed to delivering orders and capital in the most cost-effective way possible.
Q:What is the long-term vision? And how do you plan to surpass or match the competition?
A:The company aims to add capacity in a 90-day rhythm, close the gap on profitability, and make the technology easy to work with. Investments are being made in a software hub in Pittsburgh to simplify operations.
Q:How do you think about the revenue trajectory going into 2026 and the ability for your commercial operations to support this growth?
A:The company plans to exit Q4 at 90% capacity utilization and enter Q1 at over 90% operational efficiency. The pipeline is up 21%, with 22% being data center activity. Capacity expansion can be aligned with incoming orders, ensuring consistent revenue growth.
Q:How are you thinking about the cadence of ramping further lines and the financing side of that?
A:The company has a loan from the Department of Energy to finance four lines and aims to reduce the cycle time for starting and running lines. Financing will come from operations, customer deposits, and potentially opportunistic growth capital.
Q:Can you talk about the ASP dynamics and the customer concentration flagged in the latest quarter?
A:Q3 revenue rates reverted to a more normal run rate with deliveries to five individual customers. The average selling price (ASP) is higher due to the value of the technology, and the customer base is representative of future expectations.
Q:How does the average selling price in the backlog and recent awards compare to what you're realizing now?
A:The revenue rates in the backlog have stayed consistent over time, and recent orders are within the ASP portfolio target.
Q:What are the necessary levers to achieve gross margin positive, and how should we think about the cost structure at scale?
A:Key levers include asset utilization, cost optimization with suppliers, labor efficiency, and reducing cycle times. The company is working on 61 projects to reduce material costs, all expected to close by Q2.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided directly addressing the specific milestones that might unlock access to lower-cost capital and provided vague responses about financing strategies for accelerated ramping of lines.
