Dragonfly Energy Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Results

RENO, NEVADA (May 14, 2024) — Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DFLI), maker of Battle Born Batteries® and an industry leader in energy storage, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Operational and Business Highlights

“I am incredibly excited about where Dragonfly Energy stands right now as a company and our opportunities for growth over the long-term,” said Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer of Dragonfly Energy. “Combining a valuable brand, a robust intellectual property portfolio, a recovering core market, and the potential for rapid expansion into significant adjacent markets we believe uniquely positions us to further transform the battery industry. Our focus remains on the cost-effective domestic manufacturing of lithium battery cells, a technology we expect will be a critical component of the global energy landscape for decades to come.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial and Operating Results

First quarter 2024 Net Sales were $12.5 million, compared to $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower battery and accessory sales offset by a higher average sales price. For the first quarter 2024, direct-to-consumers (“DTC”) net sales decreased by $4.8 million, compared to $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 due to decreased customer demand for our products due to rising interest rates and inflation. Original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) revenue decreased by $1.5 million, compared to $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the Company’s largest RV customer changing the Company’s product from a standard offering to an option. Excluding this customer, RV OEM sales were up 69% year over year for the first quarter 2024, largely due to sales to new customers such as Forest River, as well as standardization expansion of the Battle Born Batteries® Brand of products across Airstream and nuCamp’s product lines.

First quarter 2024 Gross Profit was $3.1 million, compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in the Company’s gross profit was primarily due to a lower unit volume of sales.

Operating Expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were $(8.9) million, compared to $(14.6) million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced headcount, lower shipping costs, lower legal costs, and lower overall stock-based compensation costs.

Total Other Expense in the first quarter of 2024 was $(4.5) million, compared to Total Other Income of $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Other expense of $(4.5) million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 is comprised primarily of interest expense of $4.8 million related to our debt securities offset by a change in fair market value of warrant liability in the amount of $0.2 million.

The Company had a Net Loss of $(10.4) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024, compared to Net Income of $4.8 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2023. This result was driven by lower sales partially offset by lower cost of goods sold, and lower operating expenses, and a decrease in other income (due to the change in fair market value of the Company’s warrants).

EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 was $(5.3) million, compared to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2023.

In the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of the Company’s warrants, and other one-time expenses, was a $(5.2) million, compared to a $(5.1) million for the first quarter of 2023.

The Company ended the first quarter with $8.5 million in cash, down from $12.7 million that was available as of the end year ended 2023. Dragonfly Energy’s uses of cash in the first quarter of 2024 included payment for critical cell manufacturing equipment, as well as acceleration of payments to vendors, who the Company sees as crucial partners as it expands into new markets.

The Company’s $150 million equity line of credit remains effectively unutilized. The Company believes that it controls appropriate levers to manage its liquidity position and enable it to execute on plans to enter new markets, take advantage of new opportunities, and continue research and development efforts.

Oil & Gas Market Entry

The Company is proud to announce that it has achieved full certification for its energy storage products to be deployed for use in oil & gas operations in North America. As a result of this certification, the Company is pleased to announce it is working with its previously announced partner, Connexa Energy Company (“Connexa”), to deliver a power product to market leading natural gas compressor packager Alegacy Equipment and their dedicated affiliate Agnes Systems.

The power system, which Connexa will integrate, will be used in natural gas compression equipment to reduce methane emissions across the oilfield. The Company expects the first of these systems to be deployed over the summer.

Dragonfly Energy expects this new business line to begin contributing to net sales by the fourth quarter of 2024.

Q2 2024 Outlook

The Company believes that the RV market is showing signs of recovery. In addition, the Company believes that its entry into the heavy-duty trucking market, while still in its early stages, is gaining traction and has the potential to be a more meaningful revenue contributor in the second half of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP financial information to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s results of operations, period over period. Adjusted non-GAAP measures exclude significant unusual items. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to, and not a substitute for financial information prepared on a GAAP basis.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC because it excludes certain amounts included in net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, business combination related expenses and other one-time, non-recurring items.

The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by Dragonfly’s management team to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. As such, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in the ongoing core operating results of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of net loss or other results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
