RENO, Nev., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. ("Dragonfly Energy" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and battery technology, today reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter, with net sales increasing 23% year-over-year, driven by sustained demand from OEM customers despite continued economic uncertainty," commented Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this performance demonstrates the resilience of our OEM partnerships, as we continue to see healthy adoption trends across our portfolio."
"Our ongoing corporate optimization efforts continue to drive meaningful operational improvements, allowing us to strengthen our product development capabilities without increasing costs," continued Dr. Phares. "By reallocating in-house personnel, we successfully accelerated the design and manufacturing of fully integrated energy storage systems for several leading RV and heavy-duty trucking OEMs. One RV partner has adopted these systems as standard across select 2026 models, reflecting Dragonfly's agility and commitment to delivering innovative, tailored solutions that meet our customer's evolving needs."
"From a financial standpoint, we remain focused on strengthening our balance sheet to support growth and achieve profitability. The recent exchange of our remaining outstanding preferred shares simplified our capital structure and eliminated associated interest payments, while we believe the proceeds from our recent public offering enhanced our financial flexibility to pursue near-term strategic opportunities."

(in thousands) | |||||
Fiscal Quarter Ended | |||||
June 30, 2025 | June 30, 2024 | Change (YoY) | |||
OEM | $10,050 | $6,674 | 50.6% | ||

Licensing Fee | $250 | N/A | N/A | ||
Net Sales | $16,248 | $13,208 | 23.0% |
Net Sales increased 23.0% to $16.2 million. OEM net sales grew 50.6% to $10.1 million, led by continued strong adoption of our products at the factory level. DTC net sales were $5.9 million compared to $6.5 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic pressures.
Gross Profit increased 45.4% to $4.6 million, and gross margin expanded 430 basis points to 28.3%, led by lower inventory costs, and improved fixed cost absorption due to higher volumes. Operating Expenses were $7.9 million, down from $9.9 million, which includes lower R&D costs.
The Company reported a Net Loss of $(7.0) million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $(13.6) million or $(2.02) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of our warrants, and other one-time expenses, was $(2.2) million, compared to $(6.2) million.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its nearest GAAP measure in this release.
Summary and Outlook
"Our performance in the quarter reflects the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and the sustained market demand for our innovative energy storage solutions. Looking ahead to the third quarter, we anticipate net sales of $15.9 million, which represents an approximately 25% year-over-year increase. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, we believe Dragonfly remains well-positioned to deliver continued growth supported by deepening customer relationships, enhanced operational efficiency, and continued expansion into the heavy-duty trucking market," concluded Dr. Phares.
Q3 2025 Guidance
- Net Sales of approximately $15.9 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(2.7) million*
* The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted operating EBITDA under "Q3 2025 Guidance" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net (loss) income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material.
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.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other income (expenses), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, change in fair market value of warrant liabilities, non-recurring costs associated with strategic financing, reverse stock split, litigation and loss on settlement. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that the Company believes is useful to investors and analysts because it illustrates the underlying financial and business trends relating to our core, recurring results of operations and enhances comparability between periods.
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:
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes;
- Although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which the Company may adjust in historical periods; and
- Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
