Current report

During 2025, we manufactured our SiMaxx batteries in our facility in Fremont, California. To support increased demand for our SiCore batteries, as of December 2025 and going forward into 2026, we are expanding this facility to increase the capacity of our pilot line to 10 MWh and expand our capabilities to support quick turn SiCore customer prototypes. This expansion is accelerated by our contract with the DIU.

Current report

In April 2023, we entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 774,000 square feet of premises in Brighton, Colorado and announced a plan to build a GWh-scale manufacturing facility in those premises. As of December 31, 2025, we completed our pre-construction planning for this facility. However due to larger industry dynamics, particularly our ability to access global contract manufacturing to rapidly service the demand from our customers, we recorded a $19.1 million impairment charge to the associated right-of-use asset and construction-in-progress to reflect our intention to terminate the lease of the Brighton facility. On January 30, 2026, we entered into an agreement with the lessor to terminate this lease in exchange for a one-time payment of $20.0 million. The termination of the lease will be reflected in our financial results in our fiscal first quarter of 2026. We believe that our contract manufacturing strategy enables rapid capacity expansion with minimal capital investment.

Current report

As of December 31, 2025, we had access to annual production exceeding 2.0 GWh of SiCore batteries in pouch, cylindrical and prismatic formats through our existing manufacturing supply agreements with our global contract manufacturers, including the Amprius Korea Battery Alliance. During 2025, we manufactured our SiMaxx batteries in our facility in Fremont, California. To support increased demand of our SiCore batteries, as of December 2025 and going forward into 2026, we are expanding this facility to increase the capacity of our pilot line to 10 MWh and expand our capabilities to support quick turn SiCore customer prototypes.

Current report

The fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) includes new provisions and rules that are expected to impact battery suppliers to the United States Government over the next several years. Defense contractors must adapt to new restrictions regarding the source of battery components and materials. Our contract with the DIU includes provisions for us to research and adapt our supply chain to meet the new requirements.

Current report

Abrupt political change, terrorist activity, and armed conflict, including the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East has had an adverse impact on the global economy and financial markets. Although our business operations have not been directly impacted by such events to date, our batteries are incorporated into end products that are used by defense industry customers in jurisdictions experiencing military conflict. As a result, any cessation or escalation of such conflicts could limit economic activity in the affected regions or impact our future sales. Conversely, any cessation or de-escalation of these conflicts could alter regional market dynamics and competitive conditions, which may create both opportunities and challenges. For example, while there is risk that a cessation of hostilities could curb demand for our products, due to a decrease of the need for combat zone drones, it is also possible that a cessation of hostilities could result in increased demand for our batteries for use in proactive defense, peace keeping or reconstruction efforts. The conflicts in these regions could impact our operations and sales, as well as those of our customers, suppliers and manufacturers, and we are not able to accurately predict the timing, outcome or broader impact to our financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, these charges related to the impairment of the right-of-use asset for the lease of the Brighton, Colorado facility and related construction-in-progress for drawings and plans at that facility as well as the retirement of certain equipment in our Fremont, California facility that management decided to no longer use in our operations.

Current report

Other income, net consists mainly of interest income and the receipt in fiscal 2025 of a Federal manufacturing tax credit.

Current report

The $22.5 million impairment and other during the year ended December 31, 2025 included $14.4 million for the impairment of the right-of-use asset and $4.7 million for construction-in-progress assets for the Brighton, Colorado facility as well as $3.5 million pertaining to the retirement of certain equipment at our Fremont facility. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a $1.9 million similar loss associated with the retirement of certain production equipment at our Fremont facility due to a change in our operating plans.

Current report

Other income, net increased by $1.0 million, or 65%, to $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 from $1.6 million in the prior year. The net increase was primarily due to receipt of a $0.5 million Federal manufacturing tax credit and $0.4 million proceeds from a government contract as well as an increase in interest income.

Current report

We also expect that our capital expenditure requirements may increase materially as we build out our 10 MWh manufacturing pilot line in Fremont, California, though this expansion is partially funded through our $14.8 million contract with the DIU. In April 2023, we entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 774,000 square feet of premises in Brighton, Colorado. As of December 31, 2025, due to larger industry dynamics, particularly our ability to access global contract manufacturing to rapidly service the demand from our customers, we recorded an $19.1 million impairment charge to the associated right-of-use asset and construction-in-progress to reflect our intention to terminate the lease of the Brighton facility.

Previous wording

Our competition includes both established manufacturers and new entrants that are developing new battery technologies and chemistries to address the growing market for electrified transportation solutions. We believe the manufacturers of these batteries will continue to invest funds, time and effort to improve the capabilities of their batteries with the recent developments of silicon anode batteries as a potential alternative to conventional graphite batteries. Currently, we believe that we are the only known manufacturer using a 100% silicon anode that is free of any inactive additives. In addition, we believe that we are the leading company in the market that has a high-performance battery that can meet the requirements of aviation and LEV applications. We are not currently producing batteries for EVs. The EV battery industry has a limited number of commercially available batteries that meet the minimum performance specifications. This creates a fast-growing and highly competitive industry for many battery manufacturers to claim market share for commercially acceptable batteries. We believe that there is significant room for improvement in the EV industry in driving range and fast charging capabilities that our silicon technology may address. To compete in the EV industry, we expect that we will need to significantly reduce our manufacturing costs, increase form factors and increase production quantity. One or more of our competitors and potential future entrants may be better capitalized to expand production capacities, have greater resources to commercialize and have greater access to customers in either or both the aviation and EV markets. As such, we may be at a competitive disadvantage and be unable to retain or grow our market share.

The decrease was primarily due to a $5.3 million decrease in non-recurring professional fees and corporate insurance costs, including a decrease in directors’ and officers’ insurance costs, offset by a $3.6 million increase in personnel-related and other administrative costs, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense, due to the hiring of additional SG&A personnel.

Current wording

SG&A expense increased by $4.2 million, or 23%, to $23.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 from $18.7 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases of $2.0 million in personnel-related costs related to hiring additional personnel and $2.2 million in professional fees and other administrative costs, partially offset by a decrease in corporate insurance costs, including a decrease in directors’ and officers’ insurance costs.

Previous wording

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have financed our operations primarily though revenue generated from operations and proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock. We expect to rely on our cash and cash equivalents, which was$55.2 million as of December 31, 2024, and revenue that we expect to generate from operations to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are issued.

Current wording

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have not incurred debt and have financed our operations primarily though revenue generated from operations and proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock. We expect to rely on our cash and cash equivalents, which was$90.5 million as of December 31, 2025, and revenue that we expect to generate from operations to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are issued.

Previous wording

As described below, we may receive additional cash if we sell shares of our common stock under the At Market Financing and if our stock warrants are exercised for cash.

Current wording

As described below, we may receive additional cash if our stock warrants are exercised for cash.

Previous wording

Under the At Market Financing, we may receive additional cash from the offering and sale of our shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of not more than $100.0 million. From the date of the Sales Agreement through December 31, 2024, the cumulative proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement totaled $33.8 million. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining cash that we could potentially raise under the At Market Financing was approximately $66.2 million. However, future sales, if any, of shares of common stock under the At Market Financing will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations. We cannot guarantee the extent to which we may be able to raise funds through the At Market Financing.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2025, we had completed the sale of shares of our common stock available under the Sales Agreement. The At Market Financing Sales Agreement provided the ability to receive additional cash from the offering and sale of our shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of not more than $100.0 million. From the date of the Sales Agreement through December 31, 2025, the cumulative net proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement totaled $97.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, there is no remaining cash that we could potentially raise under the At Market Financing.

Previous wording

We may also receive additional cash from our outstanding stock warrants if those stock warrants are exercised for cash. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we offered the holders of the public and private warrants the opportunity to exercise, for cash, their warrants at a temporarily reduced exercise price of $1.10 per warrant, and we also made a separate tender offer to the holders of private warrants to exchange their warrants, on a cashless basis, for shares of our common stock. The net proceeds from our cash tender offer, which expired on June 11, 2024, totaled $13.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of 16,692,572 public warrants, 300,000 private warrants and 2,052,500 PIPE warrants outstanding. The exercise price of our public warrants and private warrants is $11.50 per warrant, and the exercise price of the PIPE warrants is $12.50 per warrant, although we have, and, in certain cases, together with the warrant agent have, the ability to amend the applicable warrant agreement to reduce the exercise price, including to a price that is below the trading price of our common stock at that time. We believe that the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise the warrants and any cash proceeds that we would receive is dependent upon market conditions.

Previous wording

We have incurred net losses to date. We expect our working capital requirements may increase materially in the near future as we scale our business, which could result in additional net losses. During the year ended December 31, 2024, our net loss was $44.7 million. We expect that the additional net losses in the future could be attributed to an increase in our operating expenses as we increase our headcount and incur costs to continue developing new products and other R&D initiatives.
