Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (in thousands, except number of shares and per share amounts)
Note 1 – Nature of Business
Solid Power, Inc. (the “Company”) is developing solid-state battery technology for the battery electric vehicle (“EV”) and other markets. The Company’s planned business model is to sell its electrolyte and to license its cell designs and manufacturing processes.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) and are supplemented by the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in this Report (the “Notes”). The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including the Notes) should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 10-K.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at, and for, the periods presented. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All dollar amounts presented herein are in U.S. dollars and are in thousands, except par value and share and per share amounts. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company accounts for its equity ownership in Dahae Energy Co., Ltd. (“Dahae”), an entity in which the Company does not exercise control or have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that possess any of the following conditions: the entity’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, equity owners are unable to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance (or they possess disproportionate voting rights in relation to the economic interest in the legal entity), or the equity owners lack the obligation to absorb the legal entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the legal entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE if the Company determines that it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are more than insignificant to the VIE. If an entity is determined to be a VIE but the Company does not have a controlling interest, the entity is accounted for under either the cost or equity method depending on whether the Company exercise significant influence. The Company has determined that it does not meet the control requirements to consolidate Dahae and accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting. The Company evaluates its relationships with Dahae on an ongoing basis, including when the Company believes a loss in value may have occurred which is other than temporary. The Company measures its equity method investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus the share of the equity method investee’s loss or gain. Activity is included in Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and separately within Share of net (income) loss of equity method investee in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and within Cash Flows from Investing Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Available-for-Sale Securities
The Company considers all available-for-sale securities with a maturity date of less than 12 months to be marketable securities and all with a maturity date greater than 12 months to be investments. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement for more information.
Revenue and Grant Income
The Company assesses all collaborative arrangements to determine whether the agreement should be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 808 – Collaborative Arrangements. Collaborative arrangements involve two or more parties who are active participants and meet the following components: both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards, and both parties are dependent on the commercial success of the efforts under the contract. Revenue recognition is recorded by analogy to
8
ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s agreements with SK On Co., Ltd. (“SK On” and such agreements, the “SK On Agreements”) meet the criteria of collaborative arrangements. Amounts received for these products and services are classified as Revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Prior to January 1, 2025, the Company recognized revenue from the Company’s collaborative arrangement, including the SK On Agreements, over time using the input measurement method utilizing labor hours in relation to total labor hours anticipated to satisfy the performance obligation. Effective January 1, 2025 the Company changed its basis of input to utilize the cost-to cost method to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company made this adjustment because it believes using the cost-to-cost method provides more accurate reflection of how performance is satisfied over time. This adjustment is treated as a change in estimate beginning on January 1, 2025, and prior period amounts will not be adjusted. The Company expenses contract fulfillment costs as incurred.
The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of a contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration, subject to constraint, in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period, and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.
The Company recognizes revenue from cooperative agreements with the government in cost contracts on the basis of costs incurred during the period and for cost plus fixed-fee contracts on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned. Contract costs include all direct labor, subcontract, material, and indirect costs related to the contract performance.
On January 21, 2025, Solid Power Operating, Inc. entered into an assistance agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) with an effective date of January 1, 2025 (as amended effective May 15, 2025, the “Assistance Agreement”). The Assistance Agreement provides that DOE will provide the Company with funding of up to $50,000 for the Company’s installation of equipment necessary for the continuous production of sulfide-based electrolyte material pilot line. The Company records grant income from the Assistance Agreement in accordance with International Accounting Standards 20 when conditions have been substantially met. This income is presented within Grant income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
For electrolyte sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer and for the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Beginning in January 2025, reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which balances have been moved from Right-of-use financing lease assets to Other Assets; Finance lease liabilities, short-term to Accounts payable; and other accrued liabilities, and Finance lease liabilities, long-term to Other liabilities. These changes had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Segment Reporting
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment as the CODM reviews financial information presented as a single entity for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as the profit or loss measure in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is regularly provided with only the consolidated expenses as classified and presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 can be applied either prospectively to financial statements or retrospectively to any prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosure.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Bifurcated embedded derivative
584
Liabilities
Public Warrants
4,350
Private Placement Warrants
1,722
5,537

The change in fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or year ended December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company purchased $101,690 and $99,548 of available-for-sale securities, respectively.
Fair Value of Bifurcated Embedded Derivative
The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative (the “Derivative”) has been estimated using the with-and-without method as of June 30, 2025 using Level 3 unobservable inputs and Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs, including estimated credit rating, risk-free interest rates, and expected future cash flows. Material increases or decreases in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Material increases or decreases in expected future cash flows may result in a significantly higher or lower estimated fair value of the Derivative. See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions for more information.
Fair Value of Warrants
The fair value of the private placement warrants issued as part of the Company’s business combination in 2021 (the “Private Placement Warrants”) have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Material increases (or decreases) in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher (or lower) fair value measurement. The
Company estimates the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s publicly-traded warrants (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”) and from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured based on the quoted price of such warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a Level 1 input.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates.

Note 11 – Leases
The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment. Fixed rent for the Company’s facilities escalates each year, and the Company is responsible for a portion of the landlords’ operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance.
17
The Company’s facility in Louisville, Colorado is under a noncancelable operating lease with a maturity date in December 2029. In 2022, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate a prior subleased space into the base lease and extend the term of the lease. In 2024, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate additional space and further extend the term of the lease. The Company has the right to renew this operating lease for an additional five-year period.
On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an industrial operating lease agreement for its facility in Thornton, Colorado, with the initial term through March 31, 2029. Under this operating lease, the Company has one option to renew for five years, which has been included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets as the exercise of the option is reasonably certain. As the renewal rent has not been negotiated, the Company used an estimated rent rate which approximated the fair market rent at adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for the extension period.
The Company has certain equipment leases classified as finance leases as of June 30, 2025. In the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company records its right-of-use finance lease assets, net within Other assets, records its short-term finance lease liabilities within Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and records its long-term finance lease liabilities within Other liabilities.
The Company’s leases do not have any contingent rent payments and do not contain residual value guarantees.

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions
BMW of North America LLC
During 2022, the Company amended its joint development agreement (“JDA”) with BMW of North America LLC (“BMW”) to provide a research and development-only license to certain of the Company’s intellectual property relating to cell manufacturing. The license allows, among other things, BMW to install a solid-state prototype cell manufacturing line based on the Company’s proprietary information. The license is limited to BMW’s research and development activities and may not be used for commercial battery cell production. During 2024, the Company further amended its JDA with BMW to extend the term of the JDA, revise the payment schedule, and revise certain deliverables and the timing to achieve various milestone and development targets and confirm cell performance requirements.
Before BMW’s installation of its cell manufacturing line, the Company and BMW have agreed to joint development and manufacturing activities at the Company’s facilities. Any intellectual property developed jointly by the Company and BMW at the Company’s facilities will be solely owned by the Company. To the extent intellectual property is jointly conceived elsewhere, the Company and BMW will jointly own such intellectual property. The intellectual property developed by us or BMW individually will be owned by such party. Both parties will have the right to utilize the other party’s technical improvements for research and development purposes only. The Company, with certain limitations, has the right to cause BMW to license BMW’s technical improvements to the Company for commercial purposes.
BMW agreed to pay the Company $20,000 between December 2022 and June 2025, subject to the Company achieving certain milestones. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0 of revenue related to its JDA. In addition, the Company recognized $0 and $132 of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 respectively, from the sale of cell materials to BMW. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $430 and $5,410 of revenue related to its JDA, respectively.
Dahae Energy Co., Ltd.
During 2024, the Company entered into a series of transactions with Dahae, a strategic partner in the Republic of Korea. Dahae provides process engineering support for the Company’s pilot cell lines and is serving as the installer for installation of a pilot cell manufacturing line at SK On’s facility. The transactions included, among other things, a bond (the “Bond”) with detachable warrants (the “Detachable Warrants”) and the Derivative, restricted stock grants to two Dahae executives, and a term loan facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2,884 and $4,285 of cost related to services provided by Dahae, respectively.
The Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Dahae for $656 (including $256 of transaction costs) and recorded the investment using the equity method of accounting.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bond had an unamortized discount of $1,863 and $1,927, respectively.
The Company recorded the Detachable Warrants within Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at a fair value upon acquisition of $607. The Detachable Warrants are fully detachable from the Bond and can be exercised for shares of
19
Dahae’s common stock. If the Company were to exercise the Detachable Warrants in full, the Company would own 40% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Dahae. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no impairments or downward or upward adjustments to Detachable Warrants since acquisition.
The Company granted 298,508 shares of restricted stock grants to two Dahae executives. The restricted stock grants are subject to redemption at fair value once all shares are fully vested and any financing provided by the Company to Dahae has been repaid. As the restricted stock grants are contingently redeemable at fair value, the restricted stock grants are recorded within Mezzanine Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To adjust these grants to redemption amounts at each reporting period, the Company remeasures the grants to their redemption value based on the price of the Company’s common stock, with a corresponding entry to the Company’s retained earnings. The remeasurement for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 was $88 and $12, respectively.
The Company entered into a term loan facility with Dahae. Dahae drew upon the facility on November 3, 2024, with a principal balance of $1,161 issued at par, explicit interest rate of 3%, and maturity date of October 21, 2034. The loan is recorded within Loan receivable from equity method investee in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All financing agreements between the Company and Dahae are collateralized by Dahae’s assets and a minority equity interest in Dahae. The Company has committed to provide up to $2,000 of additional financing to Dahae under the term loan facility.
The table below presents the summarized transactions recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s equity method investment for the periods presented. The transactions reflected in the table below coupled with the term loan facility of $2,000 represent the maximum loss exposure as a result of the Company’s involvement with Dahae at June 30, 2025.

Note 13 – Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% and (2.4)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% and (1.2)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company was in a full valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company's quarterly provision for income taxes is calculated by applying a projected annual effective tax rate, calculated separately for the United States and Republic of Korea, to ordinary pre-tax book income.
Note 14 – Contingencies
The Company may be party to litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company maintains insurance to cover certain actions and believes that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On December 3, 2024, two purported stockholders filed a putative class action against the former officers and directors of Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III (“DCRC”), including Erik Anderson; Riverstone Holdings, LLC; and related sponsors and entities (the “Hamilton Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Hamilton et al. v. Anderson et al., C.A. No. 2024-1241-JTL). The lawsuit alleges breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment arising from the merger of Solid Power Operating, Inc. with a subsidiary of DCRC and seeks to recover unspecified damages and equitable relief. None of the Company, its subsidiaries, or its current officers or directors, except Mr. Anderson, is named as a defendant. The Hamilton Defendants have demanded indemnification and advancement of defense costs from the Company. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be liable for the legal fees, defense costs, judgments, and/or settlement fees incurred by certain of the Hamilton Defendants. The proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, and the Company cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible loss.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes, among other things the permanent extension of certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the United States’ international tax framework, restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions, and acceleration of the phase-out of EV credits. The OBBBA contains a variety of effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently assessing the OBBBA’s impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview
Solid Power is a U.S.-based leader in solid-state battery technology and manufacturing processes. Our core technology is a sulfide-based solid electrolyte material, which replaces the liquid or gel electrolyte used in traditional lithium-ion battery cells. We believe our electrolyte technology has the potential to enable a step-change improvement in battery cell performance beyond what is currently achievable in conventional lithium-ion battery cells, including improved energy density, battery life, and safety performance. We are currently targeting the battery electric vehicle market due to the size and perceived demand for next generation battery technology but believe our technologies can have a broader application as they mature.
2025 Development Objectives
We made progress on our 2025 development objectives as the solid-state battery landscape continues to evolve. Below is a summary of our progress towards our goals during the second quarter of 2025.
Additionally, BMW Group’s introduction of an i7 test vehicle powered by our cells and solid-state battery technology was a significant achievement in our partnership with BMW of North America LLC.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We are a research and development-stage company and have not generated cash flows through the sale of our electrolyte or licensing of our cell designs to adequately cover our costs. Our ability to commercialize our products depends on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose material risks and challenges, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this Report, which are incorporated by reference.
Prior to reaching commercialization, we must improve our products to ensure they meet the performance requirements of our customers. We also will have to negotiate commercial agreements with our customers on terms and conditions that are mutually acceptable. To satisfy anticipated demand, we will need to scale production of our electrolyte. All of these will take time, require capital, and affect our operating results. Since many factors are difficult to quantify, our actual operating results may be different than currently anticipated.
Revenue generated to date has primarily come from performance on research and development licensing agreements, line installation agreement, and government contracts. We will need to continue to deploy substantial capital to expand our production capabilities and engage in research and development programs. We also expect to continue to incur administrative expenses as a publicly traded company.
In addition to meeting our development goals, commercialization and future growth and demand for our products are highly dependent upon consumers adopting EVs. The market for new energy vehicles is still rapidly evolving due to emerging technologies, competitive pricing, government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors.
Basis of Presentation
We currently conduct our business through one operating segment and one reportable segment. As a research and development company with no commercial operations, our activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States and the Republic of Korea. Our historical results are reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and in U.S. dollars.

Revenue recognized consists of performance on our non-governement contracts as well as certain government contracts. Grant income recognized consists of performance on our assistance agreement, dated January 1, 2025 (as amended effective May 15, 2025, the “Assistance Agreement”), with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”).
Revenue and grant income increased $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 primarily driven by the performance on our collaboration agreements which included the achievement of different milestones in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the June 30, 2024. Revenue and grant income increased $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 primarily driven by the performance on our Assistance Agreement in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
We recognized $5.9 million and $10.5 million of collaborative revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The collaborative revenue primarily consists of performance on our research and development technology license agreement, line installation agreement, and electrolyte supply agreement with SK On (collectively, the “SK On Agreements”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we completed factory acceptance testing under the line installation agreement and began working towards site acceptance testing. We intend to continue executing on the SK On Agreements and anticipate recognizing additional revenue from the SK On Agreements through the remainder of the year.
23
We recognized $1.6 million and $3.1 million of government revenue and government grant income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Government revenue and government grant income consisted primarily of grant income from the Assistance Agreement. The Assistance Agreement provides that the DOE will provide us with funding of up to $50 million for our installation of equipment necessary for the continuous production of sulfide-based solid electrolyte material. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we initiated detailed design of the continuous electrolyte production pilot line and finished ordering long-lead time equipment. Grant income is recognized on the non-capital costs of the project. As we continue to execute on the project milestones, we expect to recognize additional grant income.
Operating expenses increased $1.4 million in three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to direct costs related to the achievement of the factory acceptance testing milestone in our line installation agreement with SK On in the period ended June 30, 2025. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 did not change materially in aggregate.
Direct Costs
Direct costs increased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to timing of achievements of milestones under our collaboration agreements. Executing on the milestones under our collaboration agreements required greater investments in 2025 than in the same period ended in 2024. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $6.7 million in services and equipment provided by Dahae Energy Co., Ltd. (“Dahae”), a strategic partner serving as installer of the SK On line. Costs included validation purchases and material and labor to support completion of the factory acceptance testing milestone of the line installation agreement. The increase was also due to labor and travel for training of SK On personnel under our research and development technology license agreement.
Direct costs increased $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in internal costs focused on achieving the detailed design work and finishing ordering long-lead equipment for the continuous electrolyte production pilot line.
We expect an increase in direct costs corresponding to our revenue growth as we begin site acceptance testing of the line at SK On’s facility later this year and continue to execute on the construction of the project milestones supporting our continuous electrolyte production pilot line.
Research and Development
Research and development-related operating expenses largely consisted of employee compensation and employee benefit costs incurred to maintain our skilled workforce, including engineers, scientists, operators, chemists, and technicians. Total research and development costs did not change materially for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses are largely comprised of employee compensation and personnel related costs for our administrative functions as well as costs driven by insurance and regulatory requirements. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.4 million and $1.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense as a result of forfeitures of unvested stock options and restricted stock units. The decrease of selling, general and administrative expenses was also driven by the strategic decision to reduce contractor and consultant support.
Overall, we expect operating expenses for the remainder of the year to remain consistent with the expenses incurred in the first two quarters of 2025 as we continue to execute on our objectives and focus on cost reduction efforts to offset overall rising costs.
Nonoperating income and expense includes interest income, the non-cash impact from the change in the fair value of our warrant liabilities and other immaterial income and expense items.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, nonoperating income and expense decreased $5.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to both the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as well as the change in interest income earned. Interest income earned decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to a reduction in the total available-for-sale securities available to earn interest compared to prior year. The change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 caused a $3.2 million loss compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 where the change in the fair value caused a gain of $0.7 million. The impact of these changes caused a period-over-period loss in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $3.9 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, nonoperating income and expense decreased $0.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to both the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities as well as the change in interest income earned. Interest income earned decreased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to a reduction in the total available-for-sale securities available to earn interest. The change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 caused a $2.7 million gain compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 where the change in the fair value caused gain of $0.2 million. The impact of these changes caused a period-over-period gain in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $2.5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
The sale of equity has historically been our primary source of cash, with a smaller portion of cash coming from achievement of performance milestones under agreements with our partners and government contracts. We also receive cash from the interest earned on our available-for-sale securities.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had total liquidity, as set forth below:
Available-for-sale securities
253,561
302,057
Total liquidity
279,809
327,470
As of June 30, 2025 total liquidity, which includes all cash and cash equivalents as well as our available-for-sale securities, was $279.8 million, a decrease of $47.7 million compared to December 31, 2024. Additionally, we had contract receivables of $4.6 million and total current liabilities of $12.4 million as of June 30, 2025.
Short-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our short-term liquidity requirements include operating and capital expenses needed to further our research and development programs and to install our continuous electrolyte production pilot line. We anticipate that our most significant capital expenditures for the remainder of the year will relate to facility engineering and construction of our continuous electrolyte production pilot line as well as improvements to our cell development capabilities.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
We believe that our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our operating cash needs and working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least the next 12 months. We also believe that we have adequate cash on hand for our stock repurchase program should we choose to execute additional share repurchases prior to the program’s expiration on December 31, 2025.
Longer term, we may require additional liquidity prior to being able to generate adequate cash flows from electrolyte sales and/or licensing activities. We also may require funding if there are material changes to our business conditions or other developments, including changes to our operating plan; development progress or delays; negotiations with OEMs, cell manufacturers, or other customers; market adoption of EVs; supply chain challenges; competitive pressures; government regulations, including tariffs; and inflation. To the extent that our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek equity or debt financing. We also may opportunistically seek to enhance our liquidity through equity or debt financing, if such financing becomes available to us on terms that we consider favorable. If financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to take actions to reduce our capital or operating expenditures, which may adversely affect our development, business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
Stock Repurchase Program
On January 23, 2024, we announced that our Board approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to purchase up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our common stock from time to time until the repurchase program expires on December 31, 2025. The shares of common stock may be purchased on the open market, in unsolicited negotiated transactions, or in any manner that complies with the provisions of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Management’s decision to repurchase shares of common stock will depend on a number of factors, such as the price of the common stock, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 3,361,396 shares of common stock at an average price of $1.05 per share for an aggregate cost of approximately $3.59 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $1.63 per share for an aggregate cost of approximately $8.27 million.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented:
Cash used in operating activities:
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $0.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This cash flow stabilization was driven by offsetting cash uses. Cash used for payments to Dahae were $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $7.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change is due to the timing of milestone payments under our agreement with Dahae in connection with the SK On arrangement. Cash used for employee compensation and other employee benefit related costs, including the payout of annual performance-based incentive compensation, totaled $19.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $16.9 million for the same period in prior year. The remaining cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were costs to operate our facilities, purchases of materials and supplies, and hazardous waste removal. Additionally, we received $9.9 million of cash from our partners in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $10.1 million of cash received from our partners in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash received from partners for the period ended June 30, 2025 included the payment of the factory acceptance testing milestone under our line installation agreement with SK On. We anticipate cash used in operations for the remainder of the year to remain consistent with the first half of 2025, but expect additional cash receipts from partners which will partially offset the cash used for expenses.
Cash provided by investing activities:
Cash provided by investing activities increased $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the change in the activity on our proceeds and purchases of our available-for-sale securities, change in capital expenditures, and cash used for loan receivables.
Proceeds from our available-for-sale security activity provided $5.8 million less in cash in the six months ending June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in prior year. This change was due to the timing of the individual security maturity date and the sale of fewer securities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Cash used for capital expenditures was $3.4 million less in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Capital expenditures in 2025 were primarily for the construction of our continuous electrolyte production pilot line. Cash used for capital expenditures for the same period in 2024 were for construction of the EIC. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $7.0 million partially offset by cash received of $2.0 million from the DOE under the Assistance Agreement. We anticipate cash used in investing for capital expenditures for the remainder of the year to increase as we continue to make progress toward installation of the continuous electrolyte production pilot line. Cash paid for a loan receivable from our equity method investee, Dahae, was $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Cash used in financing activities:
Cash used in financing activities decreased $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of $3.6 million of our stock under the stock repurchase program in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the repurchase of $8.3 million of our common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was cash paid for withholding of employee taxes related to stock-based compensation and payments on finance lease liabilities, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Except as set forth below, there have been no significant and material changes in our critical accounting policies and use of estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to those disclosed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Collaborative Revenue
Description
Judgments and Uncertainties
Effect if Results Differ From Assumptions
We recognize revenue from our research and development collaboration agreements representing joint operating activities in accordance with ASC 808 – Collaborative Arrangements. These agreements include the following components: parties to the contract are active participants, both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards, and both parties are dependent on the commercial success of the efforts under the contract.
Our revenue recognition accounting methodology requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, and to apply professional judgment.
Prior to January 1, 2025, our collaborative arrangements were recognized using the input measurement method utilizing labor hours in relation to total labor hours anticipated to satisfy the performance obligation. As of January 1, 2025, our collaborative arrangements recognize revenue over time using the input measurement method utilizing the cost-to-cost method to satisfy the combined performance obligation.
Contract costs include all direct labor, subcontract costs, costs for materials and indirect costs related to the contract performance that are allowable under the provisions of the contract. Collaborative revenues from fee-based contracts are recognized based on costs incurred to meet contractually defined milestones and deliverables along with our assessment of achievement of those measurable deliverables under the contract or based on appropriate over time methods.
If we were to change our judgments or estimates, it could cause a material increase or decrease in the amount of revenue or deferred revenue that we report in a particular period.
See Note 2 of our unaudited financial statements included in this Report as well as Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K for more information.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired controls. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025.
Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we have been, and may become, involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. See Note 14 of our unaudited financial statements included in this Report for more information. Regardless of outcome, litigation, including indemnity claims, can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, prospects, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the 2024 Form 10-K. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be materially and adversely affected. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors since the 2024 Form 10-K.
We rely on government contracts and grants for a portion of our revenue and to partially fund our research and development activities, and such contracts and grants are subject to a number of uncertainties, challenges, and risks.
We currently rely on government contracts and grants for a portion of our revenue and to partially fund our research and development activities. For example, the Assistance Agreement provides that DOE will provide us with funding of up to $50 million for our installation of equipment necessary for the continuous production of sulfide-based solid electrolyte material. Changes in government priorities or government funding reductions or delays could result in discontinuation of funding under, or termination of, our government contracts and grants. Further, the change in administration could increase this risk. On January 20, 2025, an executive order, titled Unleashing American Energy (the “Executive Order”), paused disbursement of funds appropriated through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law pending further review. Because the Assistance Agreement is funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, our
continued receipt of funding under the Assistance agreement could be delayed or cancelled. In addition, the Executive Order declared a policy of eliminating the “electric vehicle (EV) mandate.” The government has discretion under the terms of the Assistance Agreement to discontinue future funding as the result of insufficient progress, change in strategic direction, or lack of available funding. The government could determine that the Assistance Agreement no longer effectuates DOE priorities, interpret the terms of the Assistance Agreement to permit termination for this reason, and terminate the agreement. There can be no assurance that we will continue to receive funding under our government contracts and grants in the amounts that we expect or at all.
Further, as a government contractor or subcontractor, we must comply with laws, regulations, and contractual provisions relating to the formation, administration, and performance of government contracts and grants, which may impose added costs on our business. Although our management team and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to compliance initiatives, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful. Any failure to comply with such laws, regulations, and provisions or satisfy our obligations under such contracts and grants could lead to termination of contract; civil or criminal penalties; withholding, delay, or disallowance of payments to us; reimbursement of the government for amounts previously received; claims for damages from our partners; contract price adjustments or refunds; suspension or debarment from obtaining government contracts and grants; or non-ordinary course audits and internal investigations, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.
Obtaining grant funding and selling to government entities can be highly competitive, expensive, and time consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance of success. Awards of contracts and grants may be subject to appeals, disputes, or litigation. Government contracts also often contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide government customers with additional rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts. For example, government customers may terminate existing contracts for convenience, with short notice, and without cause. Government contracts may also require work to be performed or products to be manufactured in a particular jurisdiction, include preferential pricing terms, or require us to obtain special certifications. If such certification requirements change or we fail to timely achieve or maintain compliance with applicable requirements, we may be at a competitive disadvantage and disqualified from selling our technology to government or quasi-government entities.
In addition to government contracts and grants, we benefit from certain government subsidies and economic incentives, including tax credits, rebates, and other incentives, that support the development and adoption of clean energy technology. We cannot guarantee that government grants, subsidies, and incentives will be available to us at the same or comparable levels in the future. The Executive Order indicated that the government will consider eliminating subsidies that favor EVs. Further, the reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law on January 4, 2025 and eliminates certain EV incentives effective September 30, 2025. Any reduction, elimination, or discriminatory application of these grants, subsidies, or incentives, including as a result of the OBBBA, may require us to seek additional financing, which may not be obtainable on commercially attractive terms or at all; adversely impact public sector demand for our technology; and diminish the competitiveness of the battery industry generally or our technology in particular. Any change in our ability to secure these grants, subsidies, and incentives, including as a result of the OBBBA, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our future growth and success are dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs.
Our growth and future demand for our products are highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of alternative fuel vehicles in general and EVs in particular. The market for new energy vehicles is still rapidly evolving, characterized by changing technologies, competitive pricing and factors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. For example, the federal government has eliminated certain subsidies that favor EVs, which could adversely impact demand for our technology. If the market for EVs in general does not develop as expected, or develops more slowly than expected, our business, prospects, results of operation, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Our ability to utilize any net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the ability of a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” to use its pre-change net operating losses to offset future taxable income. An “ownership change” generally means a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in a corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. If we have experienced an ownership change at any time since our incorporation, we may be subject to these limitations on our ability to utilize our net operating losses and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, future changes in our stock ownership, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an ownership change.
29
Changes in tax law, regulations, or interpretations, including those resulting from the OBBBA, could suspend the use of net operating losses or tax credits, possibly with retroactive effect, and adversely impact our effective tax rate or cash flows. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, we could be unable or limited in our ability to use net operating losses and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income, which could result in increased future income tax liabilities. Similar provisions of state tax law may also limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes.

The shares of common stock may be purchased on the open market, in unsolicited negotiated transactions, or in any manner that complies with the provisions of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Management’s decision to repurchase shares of common stock will depend on a number of factors, such as the price of our common stock, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements.
