Insights

Corporate Financial Analyst

Energous shows clear operational progress: rising revenue, improving margins, lower losses, and a multi‑million dollar cash runway.

The company reported revenue of $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a sequential increase of 30% and a year‑over‑year improvement versus the prior year quarter. Gross profit rose to $0.5 million and gross margin improved to 36%, while GAAP operating expenses declined to $2.6 million.

GAAP net loss narrowed to $(2.1) million (loss per share $(1.31)), the smallest quarterly loss in over a decade, and non‑GAAP metrics show similar improvement. The balance sheet lists $12.9 million in cash and a confirmed order backlog of $4.1 million expected to ship within twelve months, supported by $22.7 million of capital raised year‑to‑date.

Key dependencies and risks include sustaining revenue growth, converting PoCs and backlog into repeat enterprise deployments, and maintaining margins while scaling manufacturing. Watch conversion of PoCs with enterprise customers and the shipment schedule for the $4.1 million backlog over the next 12 months; these items directly affect the company’s path to profitability.

• During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company raised $18.2 million of net proceeds under its at-the-market offering program, $0.4 million of net proceeds from the negotiated early exercise of warrants, and $4.1 million in net proceeds from the sale of securities in a registered direct offering. The $22.7 million of capital allows the Company to continue executing upon its growth initiatives, investing in technology innovation, and scaling to fulfill the increase in customer orders.
  
• Through the above-referenced warrant exercises, on September 11, 2025, the Company improved its balance sheet by eliminating certain previously outstanding warrants, which allowed the removal of our recorded warrant liability. In addition, based on current operating levels and further cost reductions implemented during the first nine months of 2025, the Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand to fund working capital requirements for the next twelve months.
  
• As of November 11, 2025, the backlog of confirmed orders, representing the first phase of enterprise deployments, was approximately $4.1 million, which is expected to ship within the next twelve months. The Company is experiencing a growing backlog of enterprise orders that we believe demonstrates increased market adoption of the Company’s wireless power network (WPN) solutions.
  
• Joining the AWS Partner Network in January of 2025 (Energous Wireless Power Solutions Joins The AWS Partner Network) expanded the Company’s sales momentum and has contributed to several referrals that led to active proofs of concept (PoC’s) with customers, including Fortune 500 companies, that have the potential to lead to expanded opportunities in 2026.
  
• The first three quarters of 2025 marked a period of continued innovation, leveraging and augmenting our deep wireless power charging and battery-free energy harvesting-focused intellectual property portfolio, resulting in additions to our technology portfolio.
  
  • During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company was granted five new U.S. patents, building upon our core technology. The new intellectual property relates to network security, e-Sense tag location tracking, and in-band communications for transportation related RF transmitters.
    
  • The Company also introduced its battery-free e-Sense tag, establishing an end-to-end wireless power platform for ambient IoT that includes Energous’ new waterproof, reusable e-Sense tag, wireless power transmitter systems, and the e-Compass cloud-based software platform. (First End-To-End Wireless Power Platform for Ambient IoT). One of the Company’s active PoC’s is qualifying Energous’ end-to-end solution for a potential global, enterprise-wide deployment.
    
• The Company introduced two new products: the AI driven PowerBridge MOD and PowerBridge PRO+ with integrated gateway. These new products exemplify Energous’ mission to continue delivering innovative, adaptable, and versatile enterprise asset tracking solutions.
