Insights

Polar Power's Q2 shows concerning 42% revenue decline and shift to net loss, though restructuring efforts and product diversification offer potential recovery paths.

Polar Power's Q2 2025 results reveal significant deterioration in financial performance. $2.7 million in net sales represents a steep 42% year-over-year decline from $4.6 million. This revenue drop cascaded through the income statement, with gross profit falling 49% to $930,000 and a concerning shift from $501,000 in net income last year to a $271,000 loss this quarter.

The cash position is particularly concerning. Cash and equivalents have dwindled to just $175,000 as of June 30, down from $498,000 at year-end 2024. Meanwhile, the company has increased its line of credit utilization to $5.3 million and taken on additional related-party debt. With negative operating cash flow of $404,000 this quarter (compared to $1.2 million positive last year), liquidity management becomes critical.

The telecom sector dependency remains pronounced, representing 92% of total sales. However, the bright spot is a 288% increase in aftermarket parts and services revenue. This higher-margin revenue stream could help stabilize gross margins if expanded further.

Management's strategic initiatives deserve attention. The company is restructuring its sales approach through domestic resellers and expanding its international presence despite previous setbacks. The planned Q4 release of a 30kW mobile EV charger represents a potential diversification opportunity beyond the telecom sector.

The inventory situation requires monitoring. At $13 million, inventory levels remain high relative to quarterly sales of $2.7 million, suggesting potential obsolescence risks if product demand patterns shift. However, this could also position the company well for a sales rebound if market conditions improve.

GARDENA, CA, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polar Power, Inc. (“Polar Power” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POLA), a global provider of prime, backup, and solar hybrid DC power solutions, reports its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Net sales were $2.7 million, compared to $4.6 million in the same period in 2024, a 42% decline
Gross profit decreased to $930,000, compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2024, a 49% decline
Operating expenses declined 24% to $1.0 million, compared to $1.4 million in the same period in 2024
Net loss was $271,000, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $501,000, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in 2024
Cash used in operating activities in the second quarter of 2025 was $404,000, compared to $1,179,000 provided by operating activities in the same period last year
  

Arthur Sams, Chairman and CEO of Polar Power, commented, “The telecom market continues to dominate our customer base for our DC power systems. During the second quarter of 2025, sales to our telecom customers represented 92% of total net sales, compared to 95%, in the same period in 2024. Sales to military customers represented 6% of total net sales, compared to 3% in the same period in 2024. Sales to customers in other markets represented 2% in the second quarter of 2025, and 2% in the same period in 2024. Sales to customers outside of the U.S. represented 3% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 25% in the same period in 2024. While sales of our gensets continued to be sluggish during the second quarter of 2025, we experienced increased sales in aftermarket parts and services of roughly 288%, compared to the same period in 2024. We believe that restructuring our US sales to include distribution through domestic resellers will be the fastest direction in rebuilding sales to pre-pandemic levels.”

“From January 1, 2025, we have been restructuring our sales staff in the Middle East and Africa by adding new personnel along with establishing resellers overseas. With our new staff we have recently increased the number of field trials for our DC generators into South East Asia and Africa telecoms. One field trial in Sudan that was suspended due to civil war years back was restarted last week with favorable results.”

“We are experiencing active participation from LPG fuel distributors in assisting Polar Power with marketing of our microgrids (as installed for the UNHCR in Nigeria) to their customer base. We added heat recovery to our microgrid systems to further increase fuel to useful energy conversion.”

“After 1 year of testing, we plan to release our 30 kW mobile EV charger during the fourth quarter.”

“We plan to continue to improve our sales and marketing proficiency, further diversifying our customer base,” concluded Mr. Sams.
