Ideal Power (NASDAQ: IPWR) posts 2025 net loss and cash decline
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Ideal Power Inc. reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting continued investment in its B-TRAN® power switch technology and limited current revenue. For 2025, revenue was $37,728 compared with $86,032 in 2024, reflecting the company’s early commercialization stage.
The 2025 net loss was $10,578,420 versus $10,417,813 in 2024, as research and development plus operating costs remained high relative to sales. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $6,129,049 at December 31, 2025 from $15,842,850 a year earlier, mainly due to a $9,135,479 net cash outflow from operating activities.
Management emphasized new customer agreements and a strategy focused on accelerating commercialization across data centers, renewable energy, grid and electric vehicle applications. The company hosted, and will archive, a conference call and has made a separate business update webcast available on its investor relations website.
