Energous Wireless Power Solutions Reports Fiscal Year 2025 Results

 

- Reports Revenue of $5.6 Million – Posting fourth consecutive quarter of growth and highest recorded annual revenue in the Company’s history -

- Lowest Quarterly Net Loss since 2013 – Evidencing further progress toward profitability -

 

 

SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 25, 2026 – Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (Nasdaq: WATT) (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), a leader in over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reporting revenue of approximately $5.6 million for the year, representing a 633% increase over 2024, and a 48% improvement in net loss compared to the prior year. The Company also provided an update on recent events and Company highlights.

 

During 2025, the Company demonstrated its continued focus on growth and fiscal discipline, reporting its fourth consecutive quarter of growth, with revenue of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 139% increase from $1.3 million of revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Improvement from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2025 was also evidenced by a narrowing net loss to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 37% improvement from a net loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2025.

 

"We believe we have reached an inflection point investors have been waiting for—commercial deployments at scale, driving our highest recorded annual revenue to date. Our fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, combined with over 25,000 PowerBridge transmitters deployed with zero returns, and a Fortune 10 retailer’s planned expansion from 410 to 4,700 locations, demonstrates that wireless power networks have moved from technology validation to production infrastructure," said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous Corporation. "The fundamentals are increasingly being proven; enterprises are choosing wireless power networks over ambient harvesting because they need guaranteed coverage.”

 

2025 Financial Results

 

§ Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $5.6 million versus revenue of approximately $0.8 million in 2024, representing a 633% improvement year-over-year.

 

§ Revenue in 2025 marks the highest recorded annual revenue in the Company’s history.

 

§ For the year ended December 31, 2025, gross profit was $2.0 million, representing a significant increase from gross profit of approximately $12,000 in the prior year. Gross margin was 36% for the year ended December 31, 2025, improving from gross margin of approximately 2% for the prior year. Focus on gross margin improvement remains a key operational goal for 2026 and beyond, especially as the Company introduces its end-to-end solution, which includes access to our cloud-based software platform, e-Compass.

 



 

§ Over 25,000 PowerBridge transmitters were shipped during 2025. The Company has zero product returns since commercial production of its PowerBridge Pro began in 2024, underscoring that the highest level of product quality remains a key priority for the Company during widespread adoption of our technology.

 

§ GAAP operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $12.0 million versus $18.4 million in 2024, a 35% year over year improvement.

 

§ Non-GAAP operating expenses(1) for 2025 were approximately $10.6 million, decreasing from $16.2 million in the prior year, representing a reduction of approximately $5.6 million, or 35%, from the prior year.

 

§ As a result of increased revenue and continued operational and manufacturing cost reductions, GAAP net loss and GAAP loss per share was approximately $(9.6) million, or $(6.46) per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, a 48% improvement versus the net loss of approximately $(18.4) million, or $(77.16) per basic and diluted share, for 2024. The GAAP net loss reported for 2025 represents the lowest net loss for the Company since 2013 and demonstrates meaningful progress made toward reaching profitability.

 

§ Non-GAAP net loss1 was approximately $(8.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2025 versus non-GAAP net loss of approximately $(16.2) million for the prior year, a 48% improvement year over year.

 

§ The Company reports approximately $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.

 

Company Highlights

 

§ On January 13, 2026, Energous reported highlights of 2025, a transformational year of growth and platform expansion for the Company.

 

  § After the end of the year through March 23, 2026, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $31.9 million from additional sales under its ATM program. As of March 23, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $39.4 million. We intend to use our available cash to pursue strategic acquisitions and investments, to invest in research and product development, other strategic initiatives, fulfillment of customer demand, and for operational and general corporate purposes.

 

  § A multi-billion-dollar, U.S. based subsidiary of a British parent company selected Energous’ end-to-end Ambient IoT solution for a large-scale proof-of-concept deployment that will modernize its semi-perishable inventory tracking across its production and distribution operations.  Continuing its goal of optimizing its existing processes at a key facility and improving visibility, this customer chose Energous to enable real-time inventory tracking using wireless power networks, battery-free sensors, gateways, and cloud analytics.

 

§ Energous is currently engaged in a large-scale proof-of-concept with a Fortune 10 subsidiary focused on retail sales of bulk items. A primary use case for this deployment is cold chain compliance monitoring at dock doors, tracking pallet dwell time from point of entry through storage in freezer and cooler areas.

§ Energous has achieved AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate status, with its partner profile now officially listed on the AWS Partner Network website. This designation recognizes Energous as a validated AWS partner, reinforcing the enterprise credibility of its Ambient IoT and wireless power end-to-end solutions and deepening its go-to-market alignment with AWS.

 

§ Made in the U.S.A. – Effective March 2026, the Company expanded its production capacity, launching a new contract manufacturer based in the United States. This strategic initiative ensures Energous is better positioned to fulfill orders for its wireless power network solutions as well as service customers requiring that products be designed and manufactured in the United States.

 

§ Energous strengthened its intellectual property portfolio with 15 new patents granted in 2025, supporting the Company’s long-term technology leadership in wireless power networks.

 

“Our customers need more than 'connected' environments—they need dependable infrastructure," concluded Burak. "Wireless power networks are to battery-free IoT what WiFi was to mobile devices: necessary infrastructure that makes the ecosystem actually work, which we are demonstrating Energous can deliver.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below.

 

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) and non-GAAP research and development expenses (R&D). Non-GAAP net loss excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on extinguishment of short-term debt, and expenses from abandoned financing transaction. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, expenses from abandoned financing transaction, and severance expenses. Non-GAAP SG&A excludes depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP R&D excludes depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense.
