Insights

Financial Analyst

Dragonfly Energy reports preliminary Q1 results exceeding guidance with $13.4M in sales despite negative EBITDA, marking second consecutive quarter of YoY growth.

Dragonfly Energy's preliminary Q1 2025 results show Net Sales of $13.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(3.6) million, both exceeding the company's previous guidance provided in Q4 2024. While specific prior guidance figures aren't disclosed, this outperformance suggests positive momentum relative to expectations.

The negative Adjusted EBITDA indicates the company continues to operate at a loss on this particular financial measure. However, CEO Dr. Denis Phares highlighted that these results represent their "second consecutive quarter of year over year growth" - a positive trend in the company's performance trajectory.

For investors evaluating Dragonfly Energy, which operates in the energy storage and battery technology sector, this preliminary report presents mixed signals. The revenue outperformance and consecutive growth quarters demonstrate improving commercial traction, yet the negative EBITDA indicates the company remains in its investment phase.

The company appears to be balancing growth initiatives with a structured approach toward profitability, as indicated by the CEO's statement about "executing on a number of important growth initiatives while focusing on driving profitability."

These preliminary results offer context without comparative year-over-year figures or specific details about the magnitude of guidance outperformance. Investors should note these results remain subject to finalization in the upcoming 10-Q filing, with comprehensive details expected during the May 15th earnings call.

“First quarter results represent our second consecutive quarter of year over year growth as we continue to execute on a number of important growth initiatives while focusing on driving profitability.” said Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer.

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 GAAP. Please refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its nearest GAAP measure in this release.
