Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. reported preliminary fourth quarter and full year 2025 results alongside a major cost-cutting program. Net sales rose to $13.1M in Q4 and $58.6M for 2025, up 6.9% and 15.8%, driven by OEM revenue growth and higher licensing fees. Full year gross profit increased to $15.6M with gross margin of 26.7%, but the company posted a net loss of $69.9M and Adjusted EBITDA of negative $11.8M, helped versus 2024 by lower adjusted losses. Management announced a strategic cost realignment, including a roughly 20% reduction in payroll through executive, director, and employee salary cuts partly replaced with equity, workforce reductions, lower discretionary and DTC marketing spend, and facility consolidation expected to cut expenses by $4.0M. These actions are expected to generate approximately $8.9M in annualized savings. For Q1 2026, Dragonfly anticipates net sales of about $9.5M and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of around $4.6M, reflecting RV market softness and a slower trucking ramp.

Insights

Revenue is growing and margins improved, but losses remain large and cost cuts are critical.

Dragonfly Energy showed solid 2025 top-line momentum, with net sales of $58.6M, up 15.8%. OEM revenue grew 33.8%, and gross margin expanded to 26.7%, indicating better mix and scale despite DTC softness.

However, the company recorded a full-year net loss of $69.9M and negative Adjusted EBITDA of $11.8M. Q4 was particularly heavy, with a $45.0M net loss driven by debt extinguishment and other one-time charges, underlining balance sheet restructuring costs.

The strategic cost realignment—about 20% payroll reduction, lower discretionary and DTC marketing spend, and facility consolidation expected to save $4.0M—is projected to deliver $8.9M in annualized savings. Q1 2026 guidance of $9.5M revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.6M suggests near-term pressure while management targets a $70M annual revenue run rate for breakeven Adjusted EBITDA.

RENO, NEVADA (March 16, 2026) — Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”), an industry leader in energy storage and battery technology and maker of Battle Born Batteries®, today announced significant corporate actions and reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

 

“The fourth quarter capped a year of meaningful progress for Dragonfly Energy,” commented Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer. “In 2025, we strengthened our balance sheet through decisive capital actions, expanded key RV and heavy-duty trucking partnerships, and delivered solid year-over-year revenue growth despite continued market headwinds. We also advanced strategic initiatives across product development and manufacturing, which we believe support the continued adoption of our solutions and position the Company for long-term growth.”

 

“Earlier this month, we implemented a series of actions intended to significantly improve our cost structure and sharpen our focus on commercial markets as our customer base continues to evolve toward OEM, trucking, and industrial channels,” continued Dr. Phares. “We believe these steps position Dragonfly Energy to operate more efficiently while aligning the organization with the areas where we are seeing the strongest long-term demand.”

 

“As we approach the second quarter of 2026, we remain focused on expanding OEM relationships, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening our financial foundation to support our path to sustainable profitability.”

 

Strategic Cost Realignment

 

In March 2026, Dragonfly Energy implemented a strategic cost realignment designed to reduce operating expenses, better align incentives with shareholders and sharpen the Company’s focus on its commercial channels, including OEM, trucking, and industrial end markets. The Company expects the initiative to generate approximately $8.9 million in annualized savings. Key elements of the initiative include:

 

  Board and Executive Leadership Compensation Adjustments: Each member of Dragonfly’s executive leadership team and Board of Directors has agreed to reduce their cash compensation by approximately 20% for the remainder of fiscal 2026, effective April 1, 2026. In lieu of cash compensation, they have received equity-based incentives, aligning incentives with long-term shareholder value.

 

  Workforce and Compensation Adjustments: Dragonfly is implementing a 20% reduction in total payroll expense through a combination of targeted workforce reductions and salary adjustments. Non-executive employees participating in salary reductions have received equity-based compensation.
     
  Reduction in Discretionary Spending: The Company is reducing discretionary spending, including a reduction in DTC-focused marketing expenses, as it shifts resources towards growing commercial revenues.
     
  Facility Consolidation: Dragonfly is consolidating its rental space, which is expected to result in a $4.0 million reduction in expenses.

 

 

 

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

(All financial result comparisons made are against the prior-year period unless otherwise noted)

 

   Net Sales by Customer Type     
   (in thousands)     
             
   Fiscal Quarter Ended     
   December 31, 2025   December 31, 2024   Change (YoY) 
OEM  $8,114   $6,236    30.1%
DTC  $4,695   $5,725    -18.0%
Licensing Fee  $250   $250    0%
Net Sales  $13,059   $12,212    6.9%

 

Net sales increased 6.9% to $13.1 million. OEM net sales grew 30.1% to $8.1 million, led by continued strong adoption of our products at the factory level. DTC net sales were $4.7 million compared to $5.7 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic pressures and lessening corporate focus on DTC sales.

 

Gross profit was $2.4 million, with a gross margin of 18.2%, compared to gross profit of $2.5 million and gross margin of 20.8%. The year-over-year declines were due to a year-end inventory adjustment and lower volumes. Operating Expenses were $12.6 million, compared to $9.7 million. The increase was primarily related to one-time expenses associated with the debt restructure, as well as loss on lease impairment and settlements.

 

The Company reported a Net Loss of $(45.0) million, or $(14.92) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $(9.8) million or $(13.89) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of our warrants, and other one-time expenses, was $(3.8) million, compared to $(2.3) million. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by a year-end inventory valuation adjustment.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its nearest GAAP measure in this release.

 

 

 

 

Full Year 2025 Financial and Operating Results

   Net Sales by Customer Type     
   (in thousands)     
             
   Fiscal Year Ended     
   December 31, 2025   December 31, 2024   Change (YoY)

Licensing  $1,000   $417    139.8%
Net Sales  $58,630   $50,645    15.8%

 

Net Sales increased 15.8% to $58.6 million. OEM net sales increased 33.8%, led by increased product adoption and new customer acquisitions. DTC net sales declined to $20.7 million, from $22.6 million, reflecting continued softness in the RV market due to continued macroeconomic pressures.

 

Gross Profit increased 34.6% to $15.6 million and gross margin expanded 370 basis points to 26.7%, reflecting higher sales volumes. Operating Expenses were $(38.8) million, compared to $(37.4) million.

 

The Company reported a Net Loss of $(69.9) million, or $(14.80) per diluted share, compared to a Net Loss of $(40.6) million or $(59.15) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of the Company’s warrants, and other one-time expenses, was negative $(11.8) million, compared to negative $(18.5) million.

 

The fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial and operating results are preliminary and are subject to finalization and adjustment in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The preliminary financial results included in this press release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, the Company’s management. During the course of the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, the Company may identify items that would require it to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial results presented herein. As a result, investors should exercise caution in relying on this information and should not draw any inferences from this information. This preliminary financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Summary and Outlook

 

“In 2025, we took important steps to strengthen the business, substantially improving our balance sheet while expanding our customer base and product portfolio. Together with our ongoing operational initiatives, newly implemented cost realignment, and enhanced focus on commercial revenues, we believe Dragonfly Energy is positioned to achieve profitability and deliver long-term value for shareholders.”

 

“For the first quarter of 2026, we anticipate revenue of $9.5 million and adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.6 million. First quarter results are expected to reflect softer than anticipated conditions in the RV market, particularly in January, along with a slower-than-expected ramp in the trucking segment. Activity has shown signs of stabilizing, and we expect operating leverage to improve as the year progresses,” concluded Dr. Phares.

 

 

 

 

Q1 2026 Guidance

 

  Net Sales of approximately $9.5 million.
  Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(4.6) million*

 

* The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted operating EBITDA under “Q1 2026 Guidance” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net (loss) income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material.

 

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.

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income (expenses), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, change in fair market value of warrant liabilities, non-recurring costs associated with strategic financing, reverse stock split, litigation and loss on settlement. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that the Company believes is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to the Company’s core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.

 

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.
