Amprius Technologies Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

• Q1 2026 revenue up over 2.5x year-over-year to $28.5 million
• Net loss of $5.0 million represents 46% improvement year-over-year
• Increasing 2026 revenue outlook to at least $130.0 million, reiterating targets for net loss below $8.0 million, and positive non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of at least $4.0 million

Amprius Technologies, Inc. ("Amprius" or the "Company") (NYSE:AMPX), a leader in silicon anode lithium-ion batteries, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and discussed recent business developments.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $28.5 million, up 2.5x from $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net loss was $5.0 million, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net loss per share was $0.04, compared to a net loss per share of $0.08 in the first quarter of 2025.

Q1 2026 Financial Highlights

• Record revenue of $28.5 million, up 13% sequentially and 2.5x year-over-year (YoY)
• Delivered GAAP gross margin of 20%, with gross profit improving 343% YoY. Gross margin would have been 22% excluding expenses in Colorado of $0.5 million that will not recur.
• Net loss of $5.0 million, a $4.3 million improvement YoY
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of ($1.8) million, a $3.4 million improvement YoY

"We entered 2026 with momentum, and our team delivered. Q1 revenue grew 13% sequentially, which we believe reflects both the depth of our relationships with existing drone customers and our ability to win in new end markets," said Amprius' CEO Tom Stepien. "We believe the $21.0 million purchase order we recently announced from a light electric vehicle customer underscores the expanding commercial reach of our silicon anode batteries. This combination of execution, repeat business, and new program wins provides a foundation for continued growth, as reflected in our increased revenue guidance."

Reconciliations of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA are provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Highlights

• Longstanding U.S. defense customers awarded approximately $500 million in new orders across multiple branches of the U.S. military, boosting Amprius' visibility into future purchase orders for cells
• Added $3.3 million to Amprius' existing contract with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), an arm of the U.S. Department of War, bringing the total DIU-Amprius contract for National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) compliant advanced drone batteries to $18.1 million
• Amprius was named one of America's Top GreenTech Companies for 2026 by Time magazine, recognizing the company's innovation, environmental impact and financial strength
• Announced a $21.0 million purchase order for SiCore cylindrical cells from a new premier electric mobility customer in China for light electric vehicles, including scooters, three-wheelers and motorcycles
• Deepened our contract manufacturing strategy by adding Nanotech Energy as a U.S. production partner for high-performance silicon battery cells, reinforcing Amprius' manufacturing-light model

Updated 2026 Financial Outlook

Amprius updates its 2026 full year outlook as follows:

• Total revenue is now expected to be at least $130 million, raised from at least $125 million
• Representing additional demand from Q1 and potential additional demand, particularly from U.S. customers in 2026

Reiterating targets:

• Net loss is expected to be less than $8.0 million
• Net loss per share is expected to be under $0.06
• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at least $4.0 million
• Capital expenditure is expected to be under $10.0 million

The Company's 2026 outlook assumes depreciation and amortization of $4.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $8.3 million, interest income of $1.0 million, and weighted average shares outstanding of 136.9 million for the full year.

Amprius' CFO Ricardo C. Rodriguez added: "Last year, Amprius presented early evidence of the potential strength of our business model, with the revenue base steadily increasing and margins improving. In 2026, our team is energized to continue delivering a meaningful step function in growth and profitability with an increasingly efficient capital structure and scale-enabling costs."

Amprius may recognize additional charges, realize gains or losses, incur financing costs or interest expense, or experience other events in 2026, including those related to capacity expansion, supply chain disruptions, or further cost inflation, that could cause actual results to vary materially from this outlook. See Forward-Looking Statements below.

Amprius has not provided a reconciliation of the 2026 outlook for non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as, the amount and timing of potential non-recurring items. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented on a basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we use the non-GAAP measure: Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes from our GAAP net loss, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in its business, as it excludes expenses and gains not reflective of ongoing operating results or that may be infrequent and/or unusual in nature. We exclude the operating costs for our former facility in Colorado, as these costs were recurring in the past but with the termination of the lease in January 2026, they are no longer indicative of our ongoing operational results. We also adjust for the effect of stock-based compensation expenses noting that such expenses will recur in future periods. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance internally excluding stock-based compensation expenses.

Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. In this press release, we provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We define Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which occur from time to time and which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results.
