Positive
- Explosive top-line growth and margin improvement: 2025 revenue grew 202% to $73.0 million, Q4 revenue rose 137% year over year to $25.2 million, gross margin reached 24% in Q4, and the company achieved its first positive quarterly non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million.

- Balance sheet and cost-structure de-risking: Amprius ended 2025 with $91.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and paid $20.0 million to terminate a 15-year Colorado lease, removing over $110 million of future lease and related expense obligations and reinforcing its capital-light manufacturing strategy.
Negative
- Material GAAP losses and impairment charges: Despite growth, Amprius posted a 2025 GAAP net loss of $44.0 million, including a $22.5 million impairment of long-lived assets linked to the Colorado facility, and a Q4 GAAP net loss of $24.4 million.
- Business still loss-making on a full-year basis: Even after adjusting for one-time items, 2025 adjusted net loss was $21.5 million and adjusted EBITDA was $(5.3) million, indicating that the company remains in an investment and scaling phase with ongoing operating losses.

Business Highlights
•Added $2.8 million to Amprius' existing agreement with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), an arm of the U.S. Department of War, bringing the total DIU-Amprius agreement for NDAA-compliant advanced drone batteries to $14.8 million. The DIU views secure supply chains for battery technology suitable for defense applications as strategically important.
•Secured the first U.S.-based manufacturing partner to scale domestic SiCore battery production, positioning Amprius to support the rising demand for cells compliant with the recently updated National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
•Sourced NDAA-compliant suppliers for the internal cell that are required for full NDAA compliance and finalized the selection of all 11 components for current cell designs.
•Added three additional contract manufacturers to the Amprius Korea Battery Alliance, broadening Amprius’ global manufacturing network and providing direct access to Korea’s advanced battery production ecosystem.
•Selected by Nokia Drone Networks to power its next-generation drone systems following extensive qualification and testing that demonstrated the endurance, power delivery, and safety performance needed for Nokia’s application.
•In January 2026, terminated the Company’s 15-year lease for a facility in Brighton, Colorado for $20.0 million as the Company moves forward with a capital-light manufacturing model; thereby eliminating an over $110 million lease and related expense obligation.
•Appointed Tom Stepien as Chief Executive Officer to lead the Company’s next growth phase following Dr. Kang Sun’s retirement.

Amprius issues its 2026 full year outlook as follows:
•Total revenue is expected to be at least $125.0 million
•Net loss is expected to be less than $8.0 million
•Net loss per share is expected to be under $0.06
•Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at least $4.0 million
•Capital expenditure is expected to be under $10.0 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented on a basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we use non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes from our GAAP net loss, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation; and Adjusted net loss, which excludes from our GAAP net loss, significant one-time items that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in its business, as it excludes expenses and gains not reflective of ongoing operating results or that may be infrequent and/or unusual in nature. We exclude the operating costs for our facility in Colorado, as these costs were recurring in the past but with our decision to terminate the lease, they are no longer indicative of our ongoing operational results. We also adjust for the effect of stock-based compensation expenses noting that such expenses will recur in future periods. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance internally excluding stock-based compensation expenses.
Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. In this press release, we provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net loss to GAAP net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We define Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which occur from time to time and which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results.
We define Non-GAAP adjusted net loss as net loss excluding non-recurring charges for the impairment of a right-of-use asset for the lease of the Brighton, Colorado facility and related construction-in-progress for drawings and plans at that facility as well as the retirement of certain manufacturing equipment.
