Current report
On October 29, 2024, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement with YBS, which modified certain payment terms and responsibilities of the parties relating to, among other things, responsibility for equipment and facilities costs. Under the original Agreement, YBS and Enovix agreed to share the investment costs for the equipment for the Gen2 Line 1 and facilitation costs. Under the Amendment, we are responsible for the full $100 million initial investment for the Gen2 Line 1 equipment and facilities costs, and YBS is responsible for obtaining and managing its working capital requirements needed to provide manufacturing services under the Agreement.
Current report
Pricing under the Agreement is set on a cost-plus basis and we are subject to a minimum commitment under the Agreement, including as modified by the Amendment. Accordingly, regardless of the level of manufacturing services YBS provides to us under the Agreement, we are obligated to pay a certain threshold amount each month during the term of the Agreement. There initial ten-year term of the Agreement expires in July 2033, subject to customary termination provisions.
Current report
In 2023 we acquired Routejade, a battery manufacturer in Korea, and established a research and development center in Hyderabad, India, which supports the product and manufacturing teams in our other locations. In the second half of 2024, we relocated all manufacturing activities to Malaysia and initiated entity formation activities for a subsidiary in Shenzhen, China. Following the shift of our manufacturing facilities to Malaysia and a reduction in force that primarily affected our U.S. operations, a higher percentage of our employees are located overseas, while our leadership team is primarily located in the U.S. While we are continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address international markets and to manage our international activities and geographically diverse workforce, there is no guarantee that such efforts will have the desired effect. We have in the past and may continue to experience operational challenges associated with global business operations and a globally dispersed workforce, such as coordinating activities across multiple time zones and cultures and maintaining consistent operations standards across diverse locations. In addition, effective collaboration between R&D teams located overseas, and other parts of the organization, may be hindered by distance and cultural differences, which may have a negative impact on product innovation.
Removed paragraphs (5)
Previous report
We and YBS agreed to share an initial investment of $100.0 million for the equipment for the Gen2 Autoline and facilitation costs, as set out in the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we shall contribute 30% of the initial investment and YBS has the obligation to finance the remaining 70%. YBS assigned Orifast Solution Sdn Bhd (“OSSB”), a subsidiary of YBS, to manufacture lithium-ion batteries for Enovix under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. OSSB obtained $70.0 million of term loan (the “Term Loan”) in financing for manufacturing operations under the Agreement from OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (“OCBC”). The Term Loan shall be repaid within five years.
Previous report
We entered into a cash deposit agreement with OCBC to collateralize the loan (the “Deposit Agreement”). As of June 30, 2024, there is no outstanding balance on the loan and no deposit was made to OCBC for the collateralization. As of June 30, 2024, we had $70.0 million on deposit in an interest-bearing account with OCBC. This cash collateral will be classified as restricted cash and will not be available to support ongoing working capital and investment needs once YBS makes draw-downs under its loan with OCBC. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes our failure to satisfy our deposit obligations under the Deposit Agreement or the breach of certain of the covenants under the Deposit Agreement, OCBC is entitled to accelerate amounts due under the Deposit Agreement and dispose the collateral as permitted under applicable law. Any declaration by OCBC of an event of default could adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Previous report
Pricing under the Agreement is set on a cost-plus basis and is subject to a minimum commitment on behalf of Enovix. At any time during the first seven years of the Agreement’s term, we reserve the right to purchase the first manufacturing line at Gen2 by repaying the equipment cost, net of depreciation, as defined in the Agreement and we shall also bear the early repayment penalty fee imposed by OCBC (if any).
Previous report
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, solid and hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal and remediation of releases of hazardous materials.
Previous report
There are significant capital, operating and other costs associated with compliance with these environmental laws and regulations. Environmental laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, which could increase costs of compliance or require us to manufacture with alternative technologies and materials.

Previous wording
Our roadmap to improve our energy density, cycle life, fast charge, capacity roll off and gassing metrics requires us to implement higher energy density materials for both cathodes and anodes. To successfully use these materials, we will have to optimize our cell designs including, but not limited to formulations, thicknesses, geometries, materials, chemistries and manufacturing tolerances and techniques. It could take us longer than we anticipate to incorporate these new materials, or we might not be able to achieve certain cell performance specifications required by customers. Further, we will need to make improvements in packaging technology to achieve our energy density, cycle life, fast charge, capacity roll off and gassing metrics improvement roadmap. These improvements may not be possible, or could take longer, or be more difficult than forecasted. If we are unable to improve our packaging technology, this could reduce the performance of our products and delay the availability of products to customers, which would negatively impact our competitive potential.

Previous wording
Although we have developed our lithium-ion battery technology, we rely heavily on a new and complex manufacturing process for the production of our lithium-ion battery cells, all of which has not yet been qualified to operate at large-scale manufacturing volumes. To meet our projected future demand, we believe we need to increase our manufacturing throughput and yield metrics. Meeting our goals will be a multi-quarter endeavor and we have experienced delays in meeting these goals to date. We may experience further delays improving manufacturing yield, throughput and equipment availability. In addition, it may take longer than expected to install, qualify and release thesecond generation (“Gen2”) manufacturing linesatour facility in Malaysia (“Fab2”) to achieve our goals for throughput and yield.

Previous wording
Our profitability targets rely on our ability to aggressively reduce the capital costs of our production lines and implement productivity improvements. If such efficiency gains are unsuccessful, we may be unable to achieve our target margin and profitability goals. We expect that our current manufacturing lines will be sufficient to produce batteries in commercial scale, but not in high enough volumes to meet our expected customer demand. Therefore, we anticipate bringing additional facilities online at Fab2. If we are unable to successfully build and manage such additional manufacturing lines, our business will be negatively impacted and could fail.
Current wording
In May 2024, we initiated a restructuring plan to relocate our Fab1 manufacturing operations in Fremont, California to Malaysia and accelerate manufacturing operations at Fab2 in Malaysia. In the second quarter of 2024, we completed site acceptance testing (“SAT”) and began production of batteries on our Agility Line, and completed factory acceptance testing (“FAT”) for our High-Volume Line in Malaysia. However, our profitability targets rely on our ability to aggressively reduce the capital costs of our production lines and implement productivity improvements. If such efficiency gains are unsuccessful, we may be unable to achieve our target margin and profitability goals. We expect that our current manufacturing lines will be sufficient to produce batteries in commercial scale, but not in high enough volumes to meet our expected customer demand.

Previous wording
Our manufacturing arrangement with YBS creates risks because we will rely on YBS for manufacturing facilities, procurement, personnel and financing, among others. Further, manufacturing in Malaysia is subject to possible disruptions in our manufacturing operations as a result of power outages, improperly functioning equipment, disruptions in supply of raw materials or components, or equipment failures. Our manufacturing operations may be subject to natural occurrences and possible climate changes. Other events, including political or public health crises, may affect our production capabilities or that of our suppliers, including as a result of quarantines, closures of production facilities, lack of supplies, or delays caused by restrictions on travel or shipping. As a result, in addition to disruptions to operations, our insurance premiums may increase, or we may not be able to fully recover any sustained losses through insurance. If this manufacturing arrangement does not perform as expected, it may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We have manufacturing operations in Malaysia with YBS and we acquired Routejade, a battery manufacturer in Korea, in October 2023. In addition, we established a research and development center in Hyderabad, India in 2023, which supports the product and manufacturing teams in our other locations. We are continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address international markets, but there is no guarantee that such efforts will have the desired effect. We expect that our international activities will continue to grow for the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue opportunities in existing and new international markets, which will require significant dedication of management attention and financial resources. For example, in June 2024 we signed a memorandum of understanding with Elentec, a leading consumer electronic battery pack manufacturing company based in South Korea that has operations throughout Asia, including China, India, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Any disruption in the supply of components or materials could temporarily disrupt production of our batteries until an alternative supplier is able to supply the required material. Changes in business conditions, unforeseen circumstances, governmental changes, labor shortages, the effects of pandemics or other outbreaks and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis. Our suppliers may go into bankruptcy or receivership based on conditions associated with their business. For example, one of our suppliers went into receivership in the first half of 2024, which may delay our receipt of equipment from this supplier and disrupt our production timelines.

For example, one of our equipment suppliers went into receivership in the first half of 2024, which may disrupt our production timelines, impact our ability to successfully configure the equipment to run at its target performance and limit our ability to operate our equipment. While we have made plans to operate the equipment with support from the supplier and other third party vendors, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to operate the equipment, which may result in a disposal of this equipment.
Previous wording
We face risks associated with customer concentration, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects. As a result of our Routejade acquisition in October 2023, our current revenue stream is derived largely from a limited number of key customers, including military contractors. A single customer, who is a military subcontractor in South Korea, accounted for approximately 75% of our total revenue for the fiscal year 2023. Any adverse changes in the purchasing behavior, financial stability, or strategic direction of these key customers could significantly impact our revenue. The terms and conditions of contracts with these key customers may not provide us with sufficient protection against fluctuations in demand, changes in pricing, or competitive pressures. Moreover, the expiration, termination, or renegotiation of contracts, whether from the integration of these customers as a result of the acquisition or otherwise, could lead to uncertainty and volatility in our revenue stream. Lack of diversification increases our susceptibility to adverse events affecting our key customers. The loss of a significant customer or a substantial reduction in business volume from key accounts could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, cash flows, and ability to fund its operations, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives. While we may seek to mitigate the risks associated with customer concentration through diversification efforts, expanded market reach, and enhanced customer relationship management, there can be no assurance that such measures will be successful in offsetting the potential adverse impacts of customer concentration.

Previous wording
We have recently begun to accelerate our manufacturing operations at Fab2 in Malaysia. In the second quarter of 2024, we recently completed SAT and began production of batteries on our Agility Line in Malaysia. Additionally, we completed FAT for our high-volume Gen2 Autoline for all key modules at our Fab2 facility in Malaysia. We may encounter yield, material cost, performance and manufacturing process challenges to be solved when we shift into the production stage, prior to volume commercial production. We are likely to encounter further engineering challenges as we increase the capacity of our batteries and efficiency of our manufacturing process. If we are not able to overcome these challenges in producing our batteries, our business could fail.

Changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and related changes in interest rates have adversely affected our results of operations and financial position and could continue to do so. In recent periods, as the value of the U.S. dollar has strengthened in comparison to certain foreign currencies, particularly in Korea, where we derived a substantial portion of our revenue for fiscal year 2023, our reported international revenue has been reduced because foreign currencies translate into fewer U.S. dollars. As approximately all of our revenue is denominated in foreign currencies, these exchange rate fluctuations have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our revenue results.

Operational problems with our manufacturing equipment subject us to safety risks which, if not adequately addressed, could result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production. We have retained industry experts and designed our factories with appropriate safety precautions to address the fire risk of manufacturing batteries and minimize the impact of any event. Should these precautions be inadequate or an event be larger than expected, we could have significant equipment or facility damage that would impact our ability to deliver product and require additional cash to recover.

Customers will be less likely to purchase our batteries if they are not convinced that our business will succeed in the long term. Similarly, suppliers and other third parties will be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with us if they are not convinced that our business will succeed in the long term. Accordingly, in order to build and maintain our business, we must maintain confidence among current and future partners, customers, suppliers, analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in our long-term financial viability and business prospects. Maintaining such confidence may be particularly complicated by certain factors including those that are largely outside of our control, such as our limited operating history, market unfamiliarity with our products, any delays in scaling manufacturing, delivery and service operations to meet demand, competition and uncertainty regarding our production and sales performance compared with market expectations. In addition, due to competition, we may face pricing pressure and may not be able to charge the prices we would like or achieve profitability on the timeline we plan.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain our executive officers, key employees and other qualified personnel on a global basis, and, as a relatively small company with key talent residing in a limited number of employees, our operations and prospects may be severely disrupted if we lose any one or more of their services. There have been, and from time to time, there may continue to be, changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, or the transition of executives within our business, which could disrupt our business. For example, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer began serving in such roles in January and July of 2023, respectively. Further, our 2024 Restructuring Plan resulted in a reduction in force that affected a significant percentage of our employee base at our headquarters in Fremont, California. Such changes in our executive management team or workforce may be disruptive to our business, result in a loss of knowledge and negatively impact employee morale. Some of our executive officers and members of our management team have been with us for a short period of time and we continue to develop key functions within various aspects of our business. If we continue to experience high turnover of, fail to implement succession plans for, or encounter difficulties associated with the transition or departure of our executive officers and key employees, or if we are not successful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining and motivating existing personnel, our operations may be disrupted, which could harm our business. We are also dependent on the continued service of our other senior technical and management personnel because of the complexity of our products. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any member of our senior management or other key employees or that we will be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart. The loss of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could harm our business.

As discussed in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not profitable and have incurred losses in each year since our inception. We incurred net loss attributable to Enovixof $162.2 million and $137.9 million, respectively, for the fiscal years-to-date ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $761.1 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate these losses will increase as we continue our manufacturing scale up, add additional manufacturing capacity, continue commercialization and continue to operate as a public company and comply with legal, accounting and other regulatory requirements. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership interest may experience substantial dilution, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. For example, we may issue debt or equity securities under our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in August 2023, including in an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering under our ATM facility. Any agreements for future debt or preferred equity financings, if available, may involve covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as raising additional capital, incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may be required to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or future revenue streams. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders, together with holders of our outstanding Convertible Senior Notes, would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any future debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Senior Notes and the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and the Nasdaq Global Select Market in particular have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, is not predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for battery company stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, are not predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for battery company stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Previous wording
The trading market for our securities is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who currently cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst who currently cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If we obtain additional coverage and any new analyst issues, an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price could decline.

In connection with the initial public offering of our predecessor entity, Rodgers Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp. (“RSVAC”), RSVAC issued and sold 6,000,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Rodgers Capital, LLC, which entity subsequently distributed the Private Placement Warrants to its Series B Unit holders. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then existing holders of our common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.

We may be involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, including warranty claims and other disputes with potential customers and suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, tax matters and employment matters. For example, on January 21, 2022, two former machine operator employees filed a putative wage and hour class action lawsuit against Enovix and co-defendant Legendary Staffing, Inc. in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The case is captioned Sopheak Prak & Ricardo Pimentel v Enovix Corporation and Legendary Staffing, Inc., 22CV005846. The Prak complaint alleges, among other things, on a putative class-wide basis, that the defendants failed to pay all overtime wages and committed meal period, rest period and wage statement violations under the California Labor Code and applicable Wage Orders. In September 2022, we began the mediation process and the court approved a settlement in this matter in June 2024.

In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share (collectively, process) personal data and other sensitive information, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive third-party data. cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity, online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information technology systems, and those of the third parties upon which we rely. Such threats are prevalent and continue to rise, are increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, “hacktivists,” organized criminal threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation states, and nation-state-supported actors. Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we, the third parties upon which we rely, and our customers may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our goods and services.

Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders, including affected individuals, customers, regulators, and investors, of security incidents. For example, new SEC rules require disclosure on Form 8-K of the nature, scope and timing of any material cybersecurity incident and the reasonably likely impact of such incident. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences. If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences, such as government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive information (including personal data); litigation (including class claims);

Lengthy sales cycles, unpredictable safety risks and certain provisions of military and other customer contracts may negatively impact our ability to maintain and grow our customer base, which could adversely affect our business and future prospects.

We face risks associated with customer concentration, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects. As a result of our Routejade acquisition in October 2023, our current revenue stream is derived largely from a limited number of key customers, including military contractors. A single customer, who is a military subcontractor in South Korea, accounted for approximately 75% of our total revenue for the fiscal year 2023. Any adverse changes in the purchasing behavior, financial stability, or strategic direction of these key customers could significantly impact our revenue. The terms and conditions of contracts with these key customers may not provide us with sufficient protection against fluctuations in demand, changes in pricing, or competitive pressures. For example, we rely on a single supplier for components to manufacture products for our military customers and any disruption in the supply of components would negatively impact our ability to perform under such contracts and significantly negatively impact our revenues and profit margin. Further, should we have to replace our single supplier, or renegotiate the terms of our current supplier agreement, we may be unable to establish or obtain competitively favorable terms, which would also negatively impact our revenues and profit margin under our military customer contracts.

Maintaining such confidence may be particularly complicated by certain factors including those that are largely outside of our control, such as our limited operating history, market unfamiliarity with our products, any delays in scaling manufacturing, delivery and service operations to meet demand, competition and uncertainty regarding our production and sales performance compared with market expectations. In addition, due to competition, we may face pricing pressure and may not be able to charge the prices we would like or achieve profitability on the timeline we plan.

If we continue to experience high turnover of, fail to implement succession plans for, or encounter difficulties associated with the transition or departure of our executive officers and key employees, or if we are unsuccessful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining and motivating existing personnel, our operations may be disrupted, which could harm our business. We are also dependent on the continued service of our other senior technical and management personnel because of the complexity of our products. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any member of our senior management or other key employees or that we will be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart. The loss of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could harm our business.
