Insights

Financial Analyst

Dragonfly Energy posted strong Q2 preliminary results with 23% YoY sales growth and significantly reduced losses, indicating improving operational efficiency.

Dragonfly Energy's preliminary Q2 2025 results demonstrate meaningful financial improvement on multiple fronts. Net sales of $16.2 million exceeded guidance of $14.8 million, representing 23% year-over-year growth. More impressively, the company reduced its Adjusted EBITDA loss to $(2.2) million from guidance of $(3.5) million, marking an approximate $4 million improvement in losses compared to the year-ago period.

This performance reflects two consecutive quarters of year-over-year sales growth while simultaneously narrowing losses, suggesting the company is moving toward operational efficiency. The 23% sales growth is particularly notable in the energy storage sector, indicating Dragonfly is potentially gaining market share or successfully expanding its customer base.

The recently completed exchange of common stock for all remaining preferred shares represents an important balance sheet improvement. This transaction eliminates dividend obligations on preferred stock and simplifies the capital structure, providing management with greater operational flexibility. This restructuring appears strategically timed to support the company's improving financial trajectory toward potential profitability.

While still operating at a loss, the substantial reduction in negative Adjusted EBITDA indicates disciplined cost management alongside growth. The $4 million year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss demonstrates significant progress toward break-even operations. If this trend continues, Dragonfly could potentially achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA in upcoming quarters.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC because it excludes certain amounts included in net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by EBITDA adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and changes in fair market value of warrant liabilities.

The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by Dragonfly’s management team to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. As such, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in the ongoing core operating results of the business.

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.
