Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. Underscores Commitment to Growth and Shareholder Value
Greenwave Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: GWAV) has announced strong financial positioning with approximately $10 million in cash and $7 million in current inventories. The company recently raised its FY 2025 revenue guidance to $47-$50 million, driven by anticipated metal tariffs and growing domestic demand.
The company secured several key contracts, including an exclusive agreement for recycling 550,000 pounds of non-ferrous metal (estimated $2 million revenue boost in Q4 2024/Q1 2025) and a contract with Virginia Beach expected to generate over $500,000 initially. Greenwave's strategic position near Naval Station Norfolk and the Port of Virginia provides access to prime scrap metal sources.
The company expects significant growth from Nucor's new 430,000-ton Lexington facility opening in 2025, which will use 99% recycled inputs. Greenwave's acquisition of seven core facilities is reducing rent by $1.7M annually, while its portfolio of grandfathered operational licenses creates substantial barriers to entry in regulated markets.

La posizione strategica di Greenwave vicino alla Naval Station Norfolk e al Porto della Virginia fornisce accesso a fonti primarie di metallo di scarto.

Insights
The metal recycling sector is entering a transformative phase, with GWAV strategically positioned to capitalize on multiple catalysts. The company's revised FY2025 revenue guidance of $47-50M represents significant growth, supported by a robust $17M in combined cash and inventory. This working capital position is important for capturing opportunities in a price-sensitive, inventory-driven business.
The anticipated metal tariffs present a double-edged sword. While potentially beneficial for domestic recyclers, they could squeeze margins if higher prices reduce scrap metal supply from industrial sources. The company's strategic facility locations near major industrial and military installations provide a competitive advantage in securing consistent supply streams.

The secured government contracts, particularly the 550,000-pound non-ferrous metal recycling agreement, provide revenue visibility. However, investors should monitor working capital efficiency and cash conversion cycles, as rapid growth in this sector typically requires substantial working capital investment.

Unlike tariffs on countries – which are often used as a negotiating tactic – the tariffs on steel, aluminum, and ultimately copper are intended to strengthen America's steel industry to de-risk in our supply chain. The Biden Administration did not reverse the tariffs on steel implemented during President Trump's first term – which are set to increase in March 2025 while eliminating all exceptions and exclusions. Greenwave expects the tariffs on metals to be perpetual.
GWAV: Tariffs Are an Inflection Point
Greenwave, a leading Mid-Atlantic supplier of mill-ready shred and recycled metals, is potentially primed for a rapid growth. Trump's tariffs—increasing un-reversed steel tariffs from his first term—will eliminate exemptions in March 2025, creating a tailwind for domestic metal recyclers. Analysts expect copper tariffs to further amplify Greenwave's topline.

Government Contracts Driving Growth
Greenwave continues to prioritize government contracts as a key driver of revenue and cash flow growth. Recently, the Company secured:
- An exclusive government contract for the recycling of 550,000 pounds of non-ferrous metal, estimated to boost Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 revenues by approximately
$2 million - An exclusive municipal contract with
Virginia Beach , the largest city inVirginia , estimated to generate over$500,000 in revenues initially. - Multiple contracts for critical regional infrastructure projects such as the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion, agreements with numerous municipalities to recycle abandoned cars, and fulfillment of several contracts awarded by the
U.S. Federal Government.
In addition, due to Greenwave's strategic location near Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base, and the Port of Virginia, Greenwave is able to tap into an abundant supply of prime scrap metal from defense contractors, shipyards, and logistics operations.

Key Growth Triggers
- Infrastructure Boom: Current federal spending is igniting South Atlantic construction, with Greenwave feeding the metal surge.
- Domestic Shift: It is anticipated that tariffs will drive
75% of 2025 revenue fromU.S. sales (up from41% historically), unlocking massive growth and profitability. - Real Estate Power Move: Greenwave's acquisition of seven core facilities slashes rent by

Moat of Scarcity: Licenses Lock Out Competition
Greenwave holds a portfolio of highly coveted operational licenses for the Company's metal recycling facilities. These licenses, often protected by grandfathered municipal codes, provide significant barriers to entry to competitors in Greenwave's tightly regulated markets. These licenses include:
Norfolk, VA : One of few VA DMV recycler licenses in the city, near the world's largest naval base.Virginia Beach, VA : Sole recycling facility in the state's largest city, near NAS Oceana.Portsmouth, VA : Close proximity to port with grandfathered license, optimizing export economics.

A Unique and Compelling Opportunity

Greenwave currently provides subsidiaries of Nucor Corporation, Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc., Sims Limited, Georgia-Pacific, and several other steel producers, with a reliable supply of mill-ready shred, sourced from thousands of corporations, municipalities, and individuals in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio.
