RENO, Nev., May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and producer of deep cycle lithium-ion storage batteries, today reported its financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2023 ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Net Sales of $18.8 million increased 2.7% from $18.3 million in Q1 2022
  • Gross Profit of $4.7 million decreased $0.8 million from $5.5 million in Q1 2022
  • Operating expenses of $(14.6) million were higher compared to $(7.1) million in Q1 2022
  • Net Income of $4.9 million, compared to a Net Loss of $(2.3) million in Q1 2022
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.10 compared to $(0.06) in Q1 2022
  • EBITDA of $9.0 million, compared to $(1.4) million in Q1 2022

Operational and Business Highlights

  • Announced the launch of Dragonfly IntelLigence™ providing reliable communication capabilities via unique mesh network, enabling accurate remote monitoring for entire lithium battery banks via the Dragonfly Energy Mobile App
  • Announced partnership with Airstream, which will provide Battle Born batteries as standard equipment across multiple models
  • Announced a Commercial Offtake Agreement with Ioneer Ltd., a Nevada-based lithium-boron producer, providing Dragonfly Energy with a future source of domestic supply of lithium carbonate

“We delivered a solid start to 2023, with healthy sales and record growth within the OEM segment, while effectively managing headwinds that challenged the wider industry,” said Denis Phares, CEO of Dragonfly Energy. “In addition to our healthy core business, we have a strong and growing patent portfolio ranging from innovative new products, like our IntelLigence™ line of battery packs, to groundbreaking new cell manufacturing and design technologies that we believe offer significant upside and long-term competitive advantages within the energy storage market. We are excited to execute on our plan for the next 18 months and we look forward to sharing our progress in the coming quarters.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Results
First quarter 2023 Net Sales of $18.8 million increased 2.7% compared to the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery and accessory sales partially offset by lower direct to consumer (DTC) sales.

First quarter 2023 Gross Profit was $4.7 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to $5.5 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a change in revenue mix that included a larger percentage of lower margin OEM sales and a lower percentage of higher margin DTC sales.

First quarter 2023 Operating Expenses of $(14.6) million, an increase compared to $(7.1) million in the first quarter of 2022. The operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, included approximately $3.6 million in higher stock-based compensation expenses due to the granting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) associated with year-end awards, as well as higher public company costs.

First quarter 2023 Net Income was $4.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a Net Loss of $(2.3) million or $(0.06) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022. Net Income in the first quarter of 2023 benefited from an increase in other income due to an $18.5 million change in the fair market value of the Company’s warrants.

First quarter 2023 EBITDA was $9.0 million, compared to EBITDA of $(1.4) million in the first quarter of 2022.

First quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation, the change in fair market value of the warrants and one-time items, was $(5.0) million, compared to $(0.4) million in the first quarter of 2022.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2023 with $15.8 million in cash and $77.4 million in debt. Dragonfly Energy retains strong financial flexibility with access to a $150 million equity line of credit.

2Q 2023 Outlook

  • Net Sales are expected to range between $18 - $22 million, as softer demand within the DTC segment is expected to be more than offset by growth within the OEM segment
  • Gross Margin is expected to remain relatively flat on a sequential basis
  • Operating Expenses are expected to be in a range of $10.5 - $13.5 million
  • Other Income (Expense) is expected be an expense in the range of $(3.6) - $(4.0) million
  • Net Losses are expected to be between $(9.5) - $(12.5) million for the quarter, or $(0.21) - $(0.27) per share based on 46.0 million shares outstanding

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.
