Management Commentary:
"Our FY Q2 2025 period showcased that Electrovaya has passed our next major inflection point as we demonstrate strong growth, profitability and the support for significant scale from our new financial partners, EXIM and BMO," stated Dr. Raj DasGupta, Electrovaya's CEO. "Recent global trade tensions illustrate that our decision to grow domestic manufacturing and supply chains is going to yield further strength to our business and overall competitiveness. With growing demand from both existing and new customers, we are confident in our trajectory for sustained growth and innovation in the lithium-ion battery sector. Finally, we're also seeing growing contribution from recurring revenue, including energy services, data-enabled SaaS tools, and aftermarket parts and services, which is helping expand margins and build long-term customer relationships."
"FY Q2 2025 quarter was our eighth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA1 and also historically we are showing a net profit for both the quarter and the six months period. Margins remained above 30% which we expect to continue in for the remainder of the fiscal year," stated John Gibson, Electrovaya's CFO. "We expect to continue this momentum for the remainder of the fiscal year and we are confident in our ability to exceed $60 million in revenue for FY 2025 while advancing profitability and scaling operations."
Positive Financial Outlook & Fiscal 2025 Guidance:
The Company anticipates strong growth into FY 2025 with estimated revenues to exceed $60 million driven by renewed demand from the Company's largest end users of material handling batteries. This guidance considers its existing purchase orders, along with anticipated orders in its pipeline from key end users and customers. This guidance also takes into consideration a percentage of anticipated revenue that may be deferred to FY 2026 (please see Forward Looking Statements for further clarification).
Selected Financial Information for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Results of Operations
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Adjusted EBITDA1
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
1 Non-IFRS Measure: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/(loss) from operations, plus stock-based compensation costs and depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that certain investors and analysts use adjusted EBITDA to measure the performance of the business and is an accepted measure of financial performance in our industry. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and may not be defined and calculated in the same manner by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to IFRS measures. The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is income (loss) from operations.
