EBITDA profitability timing, dry electrode battery technology commercialization, cash balance and financial position, tariff impact, and government funding opportunities are the key contradictions discussed in Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Revenue Growth and OEM Focus:
- Dragonfly Energy reported net sales of $13.4 million in Q1 2025, up 6.8% year-over-year.
- The growth was driven by a 10.8% increase in net sales from OEM customers, while the DTC segment saw a slight decline due to macroeconomic pressures.

Operational Improvements and Cost Discipline:
- The company implemented operational enhancements, increasing production capacity without additional head count and consolidating into a new 400,000 square foot facility.
- These improvements are part of a corporate optimization program aimed at accelerating growth and profitability, with a focus on near-term revenue-generating opportunities.

Heavy-Duty Trucking Market and Dual Flow Power Pack:
- Dragonfly Energy is expanding into the heavy-duty trucking market with the launch of the Battle Born dual flow power pack, a practical hybrid electrification solution.
- The dual flow solution is gaining traction among fleets looking to reduce costs and improve truck reliability without overhauling current systems, reflecting increased fleet engagement over the past few months.

Domestic Manufacturing and Tariff Mitigation:
- The company maintains a strategic position through its growing U.S.-based production capabilities, mitigating tariff-related impacts.
- This includes investing in domestic battery production since 2012 and sourcing components domestically where feasible, alongside a lithium supply agreement with Ioneer.
