Qualification and Commercialization Progress
“Our top priority remains completing smartphone qualification and moving into commercial production,” said Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix. “During the fourth quarter, customer evaluation samples met energy density, fast-charge and safety requirements, and cycle-life performance improved toward customer-defined qualification targets under established protocols.”

Cycle-life testing under high power conditions is the key gating requirement to launch our first smartphone battery, and we are executing multiple defined pathways with our lead customer to achieve qualification targets. These include continued optimization of AI-1 recipe variations, as well as alignment on updated silicon-specific protocols that more closely reflect real-world smartphone usage. Successful completion under any of these pathways will enable customer qualification and follow-on commercial shipments.

Smart eyewear devices place even greater emphasis on volumetric energy density due to smaller battery footprints and continuous-on AI workloads. Smart eyewear manufacturers typically require lower cycle-life thresholds for qualification than smartphone manufacturers. Based on ongoing customer engagements, Enovix believes the AI-1 platform already meets or exceeds key technical requirements for multiple smart eyewear applications, positioning this category as a potential early commercialization opportunity.

Dr. Talluri continued, “Customer engagement is also expanding across smart eyewear and other AI-powered applications that require higher energy density in increasingly space-constrained designs. Smart eyewear platforms are progressing toward production readiness, and we have begun receiving initial production demand from our lead customer as devices move toward commercial launch. Our manufacturing organization also continued to make solid progress preparing Fab2 in Malaysia for higher-volume production to support our upcoming commercialization programs.”

Manufacturing Readiness Progress
During 2025, Enovix improved its production readiness across its global operations to support upcoming commercialization programs:

• Global manufacturing operations were unified under Kihong Park, who previously lead Enovix’s South Korea manufacturing operations that were established through the Routejade and SETK acquisitions. In addition, Enovix strengthened its advanced manufacturing capabilities with the addition of Ed Casey, who leads Advanced Manufacturing Engineering. Ed brings decades of experience scaling high-volume manufacturing across global production networks, including senior leadership roles at Seagate, Western Digital, and ams OSRAM.
• Our new manufacturing leadership team is sharpening our focus on manufacturing execution as we scale toward high-volume production. At Fab2, we continue to see consistent gains in yield and throughput. While Zone 1 laser dicing currently defines our primary throughput limit, we believe we can resolve this via process optimization and alternative dicing technologies. This path would clear the way for significantly higher production rates as we commercialize. In 2026, we are capable of qualifying other new products and customers in our production lines, and meeting demand for smart eyewear customers.
• China Compulsory Certification (CCC) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) were secured for AI-1 smart eyewear batteries.
  

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

• Record fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $11.3 million, compared to $9.7 million in fourth quarter 2024, and record full-year 2025 revenue of $31.8 million, compared to $23.1 million in 2024, representing 38% year-over-year growth, primarily reflecting defense and industrial shipments. Cells manufactured through Enovix’s South Korea operations continue deployment across defense applications including aerial drones, subsea systems and munitions platforms, while next-generation silicon-anode developments position Enovix to support future higher-performance applications.
• GAAP gross profit was $2.5 million in 4Q25 and $6.1 million for FY2025. Non-GAAP gross profit of $2.9 million in 4Q25 and $7.3 million for FY2025. Full-year non-GAAP gross margin improved to 23%, reflecting operational execution improvements and higher production volumes.
• Net cash used in operating activities of $27.0 million in 4Q25 and $95.3 million for full year 2025, increased from an outflow of $16.0 million in 4Q24 and decreased from $108.6 million for full year 2024. Free cash flow was an outflow of $28.0 million in 4Q25 and $113.5 million for full year 2025, improving from an outflow of $32.3 million in 4Q24 and $184.8 million for full year 2024.
• Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $621 million at year-end, including approximately $2.0 million of restricted cash, providing liquidity to support qualification completion and commercialization scale-up.

Chairman’s 2025 Summary

T.J. Rodgers, Enovix chairman, commented, “I attend three major Enovix reviews per quarter: the board meeting (six hours), the manufacturing operations review (three hours), and the R&D review (four hours). My 2025 observations follow: 1) we are focusing on the smartphone market because it is huge and demands the very best technology and quality – a superset of what we need, 2) we have two “teaching” smartphone customers that want to qualify us, 3) we have passed 70 of their 75 qualification specifications, and 4) we have identified multiple paths to pass the remaining tests. A single smartphone program from either of our smartphone partners would fill our current Penang manufacturing line, and a few smartphone programs would fill the four lines our plant can house.

Rodgers continued, “Our Penang manufacturing line makes battery qualification samples today limited by a single step, the laser dicing of the battery electrode ribbons from the rolls of anode material (silicon on copper foil) and cathode material (cobalt oxide on aluminum foil). Our overall line yield is measured at 9 steps, whose yields multiply to give overall yield. All but one of those 9 steps have yields of 80% or higher, meaning that the new line is fully functional, except for the laser dicing step, which does yield reasonably, but only at a production rate that is a fraction of the rest of the line. We continue to perfect dicing with multiple laser types and have a Plan B to use a custom mechanical punching tool. Making electrode dicing yield well at high speed is our current major production impediment. While we are working on dicing yield and speed, we are fully capable of qualifying other new products and customers in the very production line they will use.

Rodgers concluded, “We have also made progress in the market. Last quarter we shipped $11.3 million in batteries, primarily from our Korean subsidiary, Routejade, to customers in the defense industry. More importantly, we have successfully sampled multiple major customers in the smart eyewear market. Unlike the large smartphone batteries, smart eyewear batteries must be small enough to fit in the earpieces of the glasses, but still store a lot of energy – and it appears that our first samples meet those requirements. Finally, to validate our customer feedback, we commissioned a third-party benchmark study (posted on our website) comparing our smartphone batteries to the best competitor’s, which now have 5%-15% silicon in the anode versus our 100%. That study shows that our energy density of 935 watt-hours per liter remains the best in the industry by 12% – equal to about two years at the industry’s learning rate of 7% per year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Enovix shareholders, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow, and other non-GAAP measures that are included in this press release.

We use these non-GAAP measures to supplement our financial reporting and to evaluate ongoing operations and results, facilitate internal planning and forecasting, and assess performance against prior periods, industry peers, and the broader market. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP results. Industry peers and other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including but not limited to, that they exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP, which adjustments reflect the exercise of judgment by management. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the GAAP results, provide investors with an additional understanding of our operating performance. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the tables at the end of this press release.

While Enovix provides first quarter 2026 guidance for non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss per share and capital expenditures, we are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of these projected non-GAAP measures, and we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjustments that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to change in fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation and related tax effects, legal costs related to shareholder lawsuit, gain on bargain purchase of assets, acquisition-related costs, and restructuring costs. As a result, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation

We define “Free Cash Flow” as (i) net cash from operating activities less (ii) capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment, all of which are derived from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. It excludes one-time cash outflows related to business acquisitions, including the $10 million purchase of SETK assets in the second quarter of 2025. The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into the cash generated or used by our operations after funding capital expenditures, and it helps assess our ability to pursue strategic growth initiatives. We use Free Cash Flow internally to evaluate performance, support decision-making, and measure our progress toward profitability and cash flow breakeven.

This non-GAAP measure may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.
