Note 1 – Nature of Business

Solid Power, Inc. (the “Company”) is developing solid-state battery technology for the battery electric vehicle (“EV”) and other markets. The Company’s planned business model is to sell its electrolyte and to license its cell designs and manufacturing processes.

**Note 2 –**Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) and are supplemented by the Notesto the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in this Report (the “Notes”). The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the Notes) should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at, and for, the periods presented. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All dollar amounts presented herein are in U.S. dollars and are in thousands, except par value and share and per share amounts. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company accounts for its equity ownership in Dahae Energy Co., Ltd. (“Dahae”), an entity in which the Company does not exercise control or have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that possess any of the following conditions: the entity’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, equity owners are unable to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance (or they possess disproportionate voting rights in relation to the economic interest in the legal entity), or the equity owners lack the obligation to absorb the legal entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the legal entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE if the Company determines that it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are more than insignificant to the VIE. If an entity is determined to be a VIE but the Company does not have a controlling interest, the entity is accounted for under either the cost or equity method depending on whether the Company exercise significant influence. The Company has determined that it does not meet the control requirements to consolidate Dahae and accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company evaluates its relationships with Dahae on an ongoing basis, including when the Company believes a loss in value may have occurred which is other than temporary. The Company measures its equity method investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus the share of the equity method investee’s loss or gain. Activity is included in Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and separately within Share of net loss of equity method investee in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and within Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company considers all available-for-sale securities with a maturity date of less than 12 months to be marketable securities and all with a maturity date greater than 12 months to be investments. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement for more information.

Revenue and Grant Income

The Company assesses all collaborative arrangements to determine whether the agreement should be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 808 – Collaborative Arrangements. Collaborative arrangements involve two or more parties who are active participants and meet the following components: both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards, and both parties are dependent on the commercial success of the efforts under the contract. Revenue recognition is recorded by analogy to

ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s agreements with SK On Co., Ltd. (“SK On” and such agreements, the “SK On Agreements”) meet the criteria of collaborative arrangements. Amounts received for these products and services are classified as Revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Prior to January 1, 2025, the Company recognized revenue from the Company’s collaborative arrangement, including the SK On Agreements, over time using the input measurement method utilizing labor hours in relation to total labor hours anticipated to satisfy the performance obligation. Effective January 1, 2025 the Company changed its basis of input to utilize the cost-to cost method to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company made this adjustment because it believes using the cost-to-cost method provides more accurate reflection of how performance is satisfied over time. This adjustment is treated as a change in estimate beginning on January 1, 2025, and prior period amounts will not be adjusted. The Company expenses contract fulfillment costs as incurred.

The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of a contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration, subject to constraint, in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period, and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.

The Company recognizes revenue from cooperative agreements with the government in cost contracts on the basis of costs incurred during the period and for cost plus fixed-fee contracts on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned. Contract costs include all direct labor, subcontract, material, and indirect costs related to the contract performance.

On January 21, 2025, Solid Power Operating, Inc. entered into an assistance agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) with an effective date of January 1, 2025 (as amended effective May 15, 2025, the “Assistance Agreement”). The Assistance Agreement provides that DOE will provide the Company with funding of up to$50,000 for the Company’s installation of equipment necessary for the continuous production of sulfide-based electrolyte material pilot line. The Company records grant income from the Assistance Agreement in accordance with International Accounting Standards 20 when conditions have been substantially met. This income is presented within Grant income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

For electrolyte sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer and for the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Beginning in January 2025, reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which balances have been moved from Right-of-use financing lease assets to Other Assets; Finance lease liabilities, short-term to Accounts payable; and other accrued liabilities, and Finance lease liabilities, long-term to Other liabilities. These changes had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates inone operating segment andone reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information presented as a single entity for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as the profit or loss measure in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is regularly provided with only the consolidated expenses as classified and presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company is designing a continuous electrolyte production pilot line which it expects to be substantially complete and commissioned by the end of 2026. Additionally, the Company has built out the majority of the cell safety abuse lab to expand internal cell testing capabilities and is enhancing the capabilities of the electrolyte innovation center (the “EIC”). Construction in progress related to property, plant and equipment is summarized as follows:

Note 4 – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are summarized as follows:

Amortization expense for intangible assets is summarized as follows:

Useful lives of intangible assets range from three to 20 years. Amortization expenses are expensed within research and development expense within Operating Expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company concluded there were assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to patent application costs for the patents that the Company is no longer pursuing. As the carrying amount of the intangible asset was not recoverable and the carrying value exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss was recognized. As of September 30, 2025, the Company recognized$748 in impairment loss which is presented inresearch and development expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Note 5 – Revenue and Grant Income

The Company receives revenue and grant income from both government and non-government entities. Government revenue and grant income includes both revenue and grant income from collaborative arrangements. Non-government revenue includes both revenue from collaborative arrangements and electrolyte sales. The table below sets forth revenue and grant income by type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The difference between the amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was not material.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes the asset type, balance sheet classification, maturity, and value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K, as supplemented by the Notes, for information regarding Levels 1 through Level 3 inputs.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

The change in fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. There wereno transfers in and out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or year ended December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company purchased$158,770 and$174,040 of available-for-sale securities, respectively.

Fair Value of Bifurcated Embedded Derivative

The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative (the “Derivative”) has been estimated using the with-and-without method as of September 30, 2025 using Level 3 unobservable inputs and Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs, including estimated credit rating, risk-free interest rates, and expected future cash flows. Material increases or decreases in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Material increases or decreases in expected future cash flows may result in a significantly higher or lower estimated fair value of the Derivative. See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions for more information.

Fair Value of Warrants

The fair value of the private placement warrants issued as part of the Company’s business combination in 2021 (the “Private Placement Warrants”) have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The

estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Material increases (or decreases) in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher (or lower) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s publicly-traded warrants (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”) and from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured based on the quoted price of such warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a Level 1 input.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates.

The following table provides a rollforward (per Warrant) of the Public Warrants measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs and Private Placement Warrants measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs.

See Note 7 – Warrant Liabilities for more information.

Note 7 – Warrant Liabilities

The table below provides a summary of the outstanding Public and Private Placement Warrants.

Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchaseone share of common stock at a price of$11.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Only whole Warrants are exercisable. The Warrants became exercisable on January 7, 2022 and will expire on December 8, 2026.

None of the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. The table below provides the fair value of warrant liabilities at:

The table below provides the gain (loss) recognized in connection with changes in fair value of warrant liabilities at:

There have been no changes to the terms of the Public or Private Placement Warrants disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized compensation costs totaling:

Unrecognized future compensation costs as of September 30, 2025 were$20,051. The Company expects to recognize the future compensation cost over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years, amortized over a straight-line basis.

The following table summarizes the Company’s award activity for RSUs and stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Stock Options

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, no stock options were granted. The fair value of each stock option grant during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used:

Note 10 – Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The table below sets forth the basic and diluted loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Due to the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, diluted loss per share was computed without consideration to potentially dilutive instruments as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The table below sets forth (in shares) potentially dilutive securities excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation.

Note 11 – Leases

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment. Fixed rent for the Company’s facilities escalates each year, and the Company is responsible for a portion of the landlords’ operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company’s facility in Louisville, Colorado is under a noncancelable operating lease with a maturity date in December 2029. In 2022, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate a prior subleased space into the base lease and extend the term of the lease. In 2024, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate additional space and further extend the term of the lease. The Company has the right to renew this operating lease for an additional five-year period.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an industrial operating lease agreement for its facility in Thornton, Colorado, with the initial term through March 31, 2029. Under this operating lease, the Company has one option to renew forfive years, which has been included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets as the exercise of the option is reasonably certain. As the renewal rent has not been negotiated, the Company used an estimated rent rate which approximated the fair market rent at adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for the extension period.

The Company has certain equipment leases classified as finance leases as of September 30, 2025. In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company records its right-of-use finance lease assets, net within Other assets, records its short-term finance lease liabilities within Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and records its long-term finance lease liabilities within Other liabilities.

The Company’s leases do not have any contingent rent payments and do not contain residual value guarantees.

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions

BMW of North America LLC

During 2022, the Company amended its joint development agreement (“JDA”) with BMW of North America LLC (“BMW”) to provide a research and development-only license to certain of the Company’s intellectual property relating to cell manufacturing. The license allows, among other things,** **BMW to install a solid-state prototype cell manufacturing line based on the Company’s

proprietary information. The license is limited to BMW’s research and development activities and may not be used for commercial battery cell production. During 2024, the Company further amended its JDA with BMW to extend the term of the JDA, revise the payment schedule, and revise certain deliverables and the timing to achieve various milestone and development targets and confirm cell performance requirements.

Before BMW’s installation of its cell manufacturing line, the Company and BMW have agreed to joint development and manufacturing activities at the Company’s facilities. Any intellectual property developed jointly by the Company and BMW at the Company’s facilities will be solely owned by the Company. To the extent intellectual property is jointly conceived elsewhere, the Company and BMW will jointly own such intellectual property. The intellectual property developed by us or BMW individually will be owned by such party. Both parties will have the right to utilize the other party’s technical improvements for research and development purposes only. The Company, with certain limitations, has the right to cause BMW to license BMW’s technical improvements to the Company for commercial purposes.

BMW agreed to pay the Company$20,000 between December 2022 and June 2025, subject to the Company achieving certain milestones. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized$0 of revenue related to its JDA. In addition, the Company recognized$39 and$171 of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 respectively, from the sale of cell materials to BMW. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized$0 and$5,410 of revenue related to its JDA, respectively.

Dahae Energy Co., Ltd.

During 2024, the Company entered into a series of transactions with Dahae, a strategic partner in the Republic of Korea. Dahae provides process engineering support for the Company’s pilot cell lines and is serving as the installer for installation of a pilot cell manufacturing line at SK On’s facility. The transactions included, among other things, a bond (the “Bond”) with detachable warrants (the “Detachable Warrants”) and the Derivative, restricted stock grants totwo Dahae executives, and a term loan facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred$2,100 and$10,204 of cost related to services provided by Dahae, respectively.

The Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Dahae for$656 (including$256 of transaction costs) and recorded the investment using the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bond had an unamortized discount of$1,830 and$1,927, respectively.

The Company recorded the Detachable Warrants within Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at a fair value upon acquisition of$607. The Detachable Warrants are fully detachable from the Bond and can be exercised for shares of Dahae’s common stock. If the Company were to exercise the Detachable Warrants in full, the Company would own 40% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Dahae. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no impairments or downward or upward adjustments to Detachable Warrants since acquisition.

The Company granted 298,508 shares of restricted stock grants totwo Dahae executives, of which as of September 30, 2025,87,319 shares vested. The restricted stock grants are subject to redemption at fair value once all shares are fully vested and any financing provided by the Company to Dahae has been repaid. As the restricted stock grants are contingently redeemable at fair value, the restricted stock grants are recorded within Mezzanine Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To adjust these grants to redemption amounts at each reporting period, the Company remeasures the grants to their redemption value based on the price of the Company’s common stock, with a corresponding entry to the Company’s retained earnings. The remeasurement for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 was$134 and$12, respectively.

The Company entered into a term loan facility with Dahae. Dahae drew upon the facility on November 3, 2024, with a principal balance of$1,161 issued at par, explicit interest rate of 3%, and maturity date of October 21, 2034. The loan is recorded within Loan receivable from equity method investee in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All financing agreements between the Company and Dahae are collateralized by Dahae’s assets and a minority equity interest in Dahae. The Company has committed to provide up to$2,000 of additional financing to Dahae under the term loan facility.

The table below presents the summarized transactions recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s equity method investment for the periods presented. The transactions reflected in the table below coupled with the term loan facility of$2,000 represent the maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with Dahae at September 30, 2025.

The table below presents the summarized transactions recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss related to the Company’s equity method investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was(1.44)% and(1.64)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was(0.55)% and(1.34)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company was in a full valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company's quarterly provision for income taxes is calculated by applying a projected annual effective tax rate, calculated separately for the United States and Republic of Korea, to ordinary pre-tax book income.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes, among other things the permanent extension of certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the United States’ international tax framework, restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions, and acceleration of the phase-out of EV credits. The OBBBA contains a variety of effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBA did not have a material impact on the reported results of operations.

Note 14 – Contingencies

The Company may be party to litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

On December 3, 2024, two purported stockholders filed a putative class action against the former officers and directors of Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III (“DCRC”), including Erik Anderson; Riverstone Holdings, LLC; and related sponsors and entities (the “Hamilton Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Hamilton et al. v. Anderson et al., C.A. No. 2024-1241-JTL). The lawsuit alleges breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment arising from the merger of Solid

Power Operating, Inc. with a subsidiary of DCRC and seeks to recover unspecified damages and equitable relief. None of the Company, its subsidiaries, or its current officers or directors, except Mr. Anderson, is named as a defendant. The Hamilton Defendants have demanded indemnification and advancement of defense costs from the Company. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be liable for the legal fees, defense costs, judgments, and/or settlement fees incurred by certain of the Hamilton Defendants. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, and the Company cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible loss.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

On October 27, 2025, Solid Power Operating, Inc, BMW AG (“BMW AG”), and Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. (“Samsung SDI”) entered into a Joint Evaluation Agreement (the “Joint Evaluation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Evaluation Agreement, the Company agreed to provide electrolyte to Samsung SDI, which Samsung SDI will use to fabricate separator and/or catholyte and build cells, in each case subject to achievement of technical requirements. Samsung SDI will determine whether the cells satisfy performance parameters and requirements to be agreed between BMW AG and Samsung SDI.
