The company achieved all 2024 milestones under the SK On agreements and extended its joint development agreement with BMW.

Financially, Solid Power reported Q3 2024 revenue of $4.7 million, down $1.7 million YoY, primarily due to the timing of BMW JDA milestones. Year-to-date revenue was $15.7 million, up $0.6 million YoY. Operating expenses increased due to higher production and development costs.

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solid Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDP), a leading developer of solid-state battery technology, today announced its operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Recent Business Highlights        

  • Selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for up to $50 million award negotiation for continuous production of sulfide-based solid electrolyte materials for advanced all-solid-state batteries.
  • Commenced development activities in our electrolyte innovation center, or EIC, to enhance research and development capabilities and improve pre-pilot electrolyte manufacturing processes.
  • Achieved all milestones and fully received all payments expected in 2024 under the SK On agreements. Line installation remains on track to be completed in mid-2025, following which validation activities are expected to commence.
  • Continued repeated electrolyte sampling to multiple customers and received constructive feedback, enabling electrolyte improvements.
  • Extended the BMW JDA and will continue to jointly develop cell technologies.

“The third quarter was successful on many fronts, with the major highlight being the validation we received from the DOE for our technology and business model, as we prepare to negotiate a grant for this exciting project that will expand our electrolyte production capabilities,” said John Van Scoter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solid Power. “The team also started working in the EIC, which is a state-of-the-art electrolyte R&D and pre-pilot lab at SP2. We are excited about how the EIC will support and enable our electrolyte development and our ability to deliver electrolyte to meet our partners’ requirements.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Solid Power delivered $4.7 million in revenue during the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of completing BMW JDA milestones in 2024. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $15.7 million, up $0.6 million from the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to timing and completion of milestones under the SK On agreements and execution on the BMW JDA. 

Operating expenses were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared with the same periods in 2023, driven by increased production costs, cell and electrolyte development costs, scaling of operations, and execution under joint development agreements. Third quarter 2024 operating loss was $27.6 million and net loss was $22.4 million, or $0.13 per share.
