Insights

Financial Analyst

Electrovaya shows strong 40% revenue growth with sustained profitability, positive margins, reduced debt, and secured major funding for expansion.

Electrovaya's Q2 FY2025 results demonstrate impressive financial momentum with revenue jumping 40% year-over-year to $15.0 million. This marks their eighth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, which reached $2.0 million (13% of revenue). The company has successfully swung to profitability with net income of $0.8 million compared to a $0.8 million loss in the same period last year, delivering $0.02 EPS.

The gross margin of 31.1% reflects strong unit economics in their battery systems business. This margin strength, combined with revenue growth, signals potential for improved operating leverage as they scale. Notably, they've reduced total debt to $13.1 million from $18.4 million year-over-year while maintaining over $10 million in working capital facility availability.

Two significant financing achievements strengthen their growth trajectory: a $51 million direct loan from the Export-Import Bank under the "Make More in America" initiative and a $20 million working capital facility with BMO (with a $5 million accordion feature). These facilities provide substantial capital for their Jamestown, NY manufacturing expansion, where they've already placed $40 million in equipment orders.

The order pipeline appears robust, with over $25 million in new orders received during the quarter. Management has confidently reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance exceeding $60 million. Their expansion into recurring revenue streams through energy services, software-enabled analytics, and aftermarket services should support margin improvement over time.

The strategy to establish domestic manufacturing capability is particularly well-timed given growing global trade tensions, potentially providing competitive advantages through supply chain resilience. Their diversification into new verticals, including the addition of a second Japanese construction OEM customer, reduces concentration risk and expands their addressable market.

This guidance also takes into consideration a percentage of anticipated revenue that may be deferred to FY 2026 (please see Forward Looking Statements for further clarification).

Adjusted EBITDA¹
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)

¹ Non-IFRS Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/(loss) from operations, plus stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that certain investors and analysts use adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of the business and is an accepted measure of financial performance in our industry. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be defined and calculated in the same manner by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to IFRS measures. The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is income (loss) from operations.
