Financial Analyst

Dragonfly Energy's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges. Net sales dropped 31.6% year-over-year to $13.2 million, with declines in both direct-to-consumer and OEM segments. The company's net loss widened to $13.6 million from $11.9 million in Q2 2023. However, the $30 million licensing deal with Stryten Energy is a positive development, potentially opening new revenue streams. The company's cash position decreased to $4.7 million, raising concerns about liquidity. While the RV market shows signs of recovery, Dragonfly's Q3 guidance suggests continued pressure with projected net sales of $13.5-$15.0 million. The company's expansion into trucking and oil & gas markets could provide future growth opportunities, but near-term financial challenges persist.

Market Research Analyst

Dragonfly Energy's strategic moves in Q2 2024 demonstrate a pivot towards diversification. The partnership with Highway Transport to integrate all-electric APUs into 500+ trucks signals a significant entry into the commercial trucking sector. Collaborations with Fraserway RV and Meyer Distributing expand the company's reach in the RV market across North America. The Stryten Energy licensing deal opens doors to new markets like military, automotive and power sports. These initiatives could offset the current sales decline in core segments. However, the company faces headwinds from rising interest rates and inflation, impacting consumer demand. The RV market's gradual recovery and potential growth in trucking and oil & gas sectors present opportunities, but execution and market adoption will be important for Dragonfly's turnaround.

Tech Expert

Dragonfly Energy's technological advancements are noteworthy amidst financial challenges. The development of next-generation power charging solutions, including the Wakespeed 500 Pro Bluetooth Alternator Regulator and 48V/12V Bi-Directional DC-DC Converter, demonstrates ongoing innovation. The company's all-electric APUs gaining traction in the trucking industry, as evidenced by the Highway Transport partnership, highlights the potential of their clean energy solutions. The Stryten Energy licensing deal not only provides financial benefits but also validates Dragonfly's technology, potentially accelerating its adoption in various sectors. However, the company must balance R&D investments with its current financial constraints to ensure sustainable growth and technological leadership in the energy storage market.

• Dragonfly Energy entered into a $30 million licensing agreement with Stryten Energy, a leading North American battery manufacturer, to allow for expansion of Battle Born Batteries^® products into new markets

“I am incredibly proud of the significant strides Dragonfly Energy has made this quarter, despite the challenging economic environment. Our ability to expand into new verticals and secure strategic partnerships is a testament to the strength of our technology and the dedication of our team,” said Dr. Denis Phares, chief executive officer of Dragonfly Energy. “In particular, we believe the Stryten Energy agreement has the ability to expose our Battle Born Batteries brand to a broader audience and position us for mass market adoption. Moreover, Highway Transport's decision to adopt our all-electric APUs across their large truck fleet marks a pivotal moment for Dragonfly Energy in the industry, and we anticipate this may inspire others to follow suit. We believe we are laying a solid foundation for future growth of Dragonfly Energy and are excited about the opportunities ahead.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Operating Results

Second quarter 2024 Net Sales were $13.2 million, compared to $19.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower battery and accessory sales offset by a higher average sales price. For the second quarter 2024, direct-to-consumers (“DTC”) net sales decreased by $3.5 million to $6.5 million, compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to decreased customer demand for the Company’s products, rising interest rates, and inflation. Original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) revenue decreased by $2.6 million to $6.7 million, compared to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to the Company’s largest RV customer changing the Company’s product from a standard offering to an option, in addition to lower order volumes by key customers, primarily due to a weather event at the Company’s largest customer’s production facility, combined with persisting weakness in the motorized RV market.

Second quarter 2024 Gross Profit was $3.2 million, compared to $3.9 million in the second 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 second quarter of 2024 were $(9.9) million, compared to $(12.5) million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower employee-related costs and stock-based compensation in the prior year. Professional services, legal, insurance expenses and travel are also lower by $0.6 million, which is in part due to the Company’s June 2023 public offering.

Total Other Expense in the second quarter of 2024 was $(6.9) million, compared to $(3.3) million in the second quarter of 2023. Other expense of $(6.9) million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 is comprised primarily of interest expense of $(4.9) million related to the Company’s debt securities and a change in fair market value of warrant liability in the amount of $(2.0) million.

Net Loss in the second quarter of 2024 was $(13.6) million, or $(0.22) cent loss per share, compared to Net Loss of $(11.9) million, or $(0.25) cent loss per share in the second quarter of 2023.

EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was $(8.4) million, compared to $(7.5) million in the second quarter of 2023.

In the second 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 $(6.2) million, compared to a $(5.7) million for the second quarter of 2023.

The Company ended the second quarter with $4.7 million in cash, down from $8.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Although the Company continues to use its inventory as a source of working capital and expects this to continue into the second half of 2024, it has also accelerated accounts payable payments and moved some cash into other assets.

As such, the Company believes that its available cash management tools, including the $5 million upfront fee which was part of the Stryten Energy licensing deal (expected to be received in Q3 2024), combined with continued access to its largely untapped $150 million equity line of credit, provide the necessary liquidity and resources to execute on its operational plans and continue research and development efforts.

Battle Born Batteries Licensing Agreement with Stryten Energy

On July 30, 2024, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Stryten Energy, a leading North American battery manufacturer, for the licensing of the Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born Batteries^® brand of lithium-ion batteries. The licensing agreement, with a potential value of up to $30 million, granted Stryten Energy a license to market and distribute Dragonfly Energy's Battle Born Batteries globally. Additional revenue above the initial contract value is expected from contract manufacturing, battery design, and technical support fees associated with the deal.

The agreement, which includes an upfront payment from Stryten Energy to Dragonfly Energy of $5 million, will see Stryten Energy leverage its vast distributor and customer network to introduce Battle Born Batteries branded products to new business-to-business markets, including military, automotive, marine, power sports, lawn & garden and golf carts.

Continued Progress and Major Milestone within Trucking Market

The Company has made significant progress in developing its distribution channels. The Company's batteries have now received approval for installation at Daimler Truck CTS, Rush Enterprises CVS, and Fontaine Modification, all of which are PDI or modification and upfit centers. This development ensures the ready availability of batteries for shipment on new trucks and allows for their inclusion in the tractor's purchase price.

On August 12, 2024, the Company announced that it would be partnering with Highway Transport, a leader in North American liquid chemical transportation, to transition Highway Transport’s entire fleet of over 500 trucks to Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born all-electric APUs. As part of the partnership, Highway Transport is expected to install the Battle Born all-electric APUs on new tractors in addition to retrofitting current models in Highway Transport’s fleet. This partnership with Highway Transport marks a major step forward for Dragonfly Energy's reach in the commercial trucking sector. The Company believes the planned integration of the Battle Born all-electric APU into Highway Transport’s fleet paves the way for wider adoption of the Company’s clean energy solutions, accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable transportation landscape.

On July 1, 2024, the Company announced it is now a provider of lithium based liftgate power solutions for Refreshment Services Pepsi, a privately-held independent bottler and distributor for Pepsi-Cola® products. With distribution centers across the U.S., Refreshment Services Pepsi will begin integrating the Company's Battle Born Batteries products into their fleet to power liftgate operations. The expansion of the Company’s lithium-based power solutions to liftgate applications broadens sales opportunities within the trucking market.

Q3 2024 Outlook

The Company believes that the RV market continues to show signs of recovery. In addition, the Company believes that its entry into the heavy-duty trucking market and oil and gas market, as well as its licensing and contract manufacturing deal with Stryten Energy, has the potential to contribute more meaningful revenue in the second half of 2024.

Q3 2024 Guidance

• Net Sales are expected to range between $13.5 - $15.0 million
• Gross Margin is expected in the range of 24% - 26%
• Operating Expenses are expected to be in a range of $(10.0) - $(10.5) million
  

Since other income and net income are impacted by the fair market revaluation of outstanding warrants each quarter, which is dependent on the Company’s future stock price on a given date and not reflective of operating results, the Company does not believe it is prudent to continue to provide guidance on other income and net income.

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:

• 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.
