Rhea-AI Summary

Dragonfly Energy (Nasdaq: DFLI), a leader in energy storage and battery technology, reported strong Q2 2025 results with net sales of $16.2 million, up 23% year-over-year. The growth was primarily driven by OEM sales increasing 50.6% to $10.1 million, while DTC sales declined 9% to $5.9 million.

Insights

Financial Analyst

Dragonfly Energy shows solid 23% revenue growth driven by OEM sales, but remains unprofitable despite margin improvements and financial restructuring.

Dragonfly Energy delivered $16.2 million in Q2 2025 revenue, beating their guidance with 23% year-over-year growth primarily driven by impressive 50.6% growth in their OEM segment, which now represents their largest revenue stream at $10.1 million. This shift toward OEM business demonstrates stronger adoption of their battery technology at the factory level, particularly within the RV and heavy-duty trucking markets, with one RV partner even standardizing their systems across select 2026 models.

The company's gross margin improved substantially to 28.3%, up 430 basis points from the previous year's 24.0%, reflecting better inventory management and improved fixed cost absorption from higher production volumes. Despite this operational improvement, Dragonfly remains unprofitable with a quarterly net loss of $7.0 million, though this represents a significant improvement from the $13.6 million loss in Q2 2024.

The company's strategic financial moves—exchanging remaining preferred shares and completing a public offering—have strengthened their balance sheet by simplifying their capital structure and eliminating associated interest payments. Their Q3 guidance projects continued growth with revenue of approximately $15.9 million (representing 25% year-over-year growth), but still forecasts negative Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million.

While direct-to-consumer sales declined 9.0% to $5.9 million, indicating ongoing macroeconomic pressures in the consumer segment, the company's strategic pivot toward OEM relationships appears to be offsetting this weakness. The path to profitability remains challenging, but operational improvements and reduced expenses (operating expenses down from $9.9 million to $7.9 million) show management is making progress in their corporate optimization efforts.

RENO, Nev., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and battery technology, today reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, with net sales increasing 23% year-over-year, driven by sustained demand from OEM customers despite continued economic uncertainty,” commented Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this performance demonstrates the resilience of our OEM partnerships, as we continue to see healthy adoption trends across our portfolio.”

“Our ongoing corporate optimization efforts continue to drive meaningful operational improvements, allowing us to strengthen our product development capabilities without increasing costs,” continued Dr. Phares. “By reallocating in-house personnel, we successfully accelerated the design and manufacturing of fully integrated energy storage systems for several leading RV and heavy-duty trucking OEMs. One RV partner has adopted these systems as standard across select 2026 models, reflecting Dragonfly’s agility and commitment to delivering innovative, tailored solutions that meet our customer’s evolving needs.”

“From a financial standpoint, we remain focused on strengthening our balance sheet to support growth and achieve profitability. The recent exchange of our remaining outstanding preferred shares simplified our capital structure and eliminated associated interest payments, while we believe the proceeds from our recent public offering enhanced our financial flexibility to pursue near-term strategic opportunities.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

Net Sales	$16,248		$13,208		23.0%

Net Sales increased 23.0% to $16.2 million. OEM net sales grew 50.6% to $10.1 million, led by continued strong adoption of our products at the factory level. DTC net sales were $5.9 million compared to $6.5 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic pressures.

Gross Profit increased 45.4% to $4.6 million, and gross margin expanded 430 basis points to 28.3%, led by lower inventory costs, and improved fixed cost absorption due to higher volumes. Operating Expenses were $7.9 million, down from $9.9 million, which includes lower R&D costs.

The Company reported a Net Loss of $(7.0) million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $(13.6) million or $(2.02) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of our warrants, and other one-time expenses, was $(2.2) million, compared to $(6.2) million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its nearest GAAP measure in this release.

Summary and Outlook

“Our performance in the quarter reflects the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and the sustained market demand for our innovative energy storage solutions. Looking ahead to the third quarter, we anticipate net sales of $15.9 million, which represents an approximately 25% year-over-year increase. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, we believe Dragonfly remains well-positioned to deliver continued growth supported by deepening customer relationships, enhanced operational efficiency, and continued expansion into the heavy-duty trucking market,” concluded Dr. Phares.

Q3 2025 Guidance

• Net Sales of approximately $15.9 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(2.7) million*

* The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted operating EBITDA under "Q3 2025 Guidance" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net (loss) income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP financial information to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s results of operations, period over period. Adjusted non-GAAP measures exclude significant unusual items. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to, and not a substitute for financial information prepared on a GAAP basis.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income (expenses), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, change in fair market value of warrant liabilities, non-recurring costs associated with strategic financing, reverse stock split, litigation and loss on settlement. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that the Company believes is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to our core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of net loss or other results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
• Although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which the Company may adjust in historical periods; and
• Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
