Management Commentary
“The first quarter of 2025 was underscored by continued strong revenue momentum, margin expansion and a strengthened balance sheet as we focus on entering into new OEM partnerships and distributor relationships and building our Home Energy Storage Solutions vertical,” said Brian Schaffner, chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer of Expion360. “Revenue grew 111% year over year to $2.0 million, and sequentially for a fifth consecutive quarter from Q4 2024 on a rebounding RV market. Results for the RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) March 2025 survey of manufacturers found that total RV shipments increased 14% in the first quarter of 2025. We believe the RV market will continue to gain ground through 2025, with shipments increasing throughout the year.
“In January, we began production shipments for our HESS products. The LiFePO4 battery HESS enables residential and small business customers to create their own stable micro-energy grid and lessen the impact of increasing power fluctuations and outages. HESS is designed with adaptability in mind, ready to evolve alongside changing energy requirements. We also anticipate HESS will benefit from incentives available through California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program and federal tax credits, and we are working on additional orders in 2025.
“Operationally during the quarter, we took the opportunity to prepare for continued growth and tariff mitigation by adding 6-12 months of inventory early in the quarter, before new tariffs were introduced. We are also working to diversify our supply chain with potential sourcing from additional countries and have undertaken several initiatives to increase margins and reduce costs within our current line of batteries. Our long-term goal is to onshore to the U.S. manufacturing of most of our components and assemblies, including cell manufacturing. To that end, we continue to work with NeoVolta to combine our strengths toward a potential collaboration that aims to engineer a US-based state-of-the-art battery manufacturing facility and develop innovative lithium-ion battery cell and module product designs.
“Looking ahead, we are successfully executing on our efforts to expand sales across our product portfolio and new Home Energy Storage Solutions vertical. With a strengthened balance sheet from a recent $2.6 million registered direct offering and private placement, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth initiatives to add OEM partnerships and distributors, further develop HESS, and introduce new technologies and batteries. With substantial purchase orders already in hand and additional new customers expressing interest across our product line, we look forward to announcements of additional milestones in the months ahead and expect our quarterly sequential growth to continue,” concluded Mr. Schaffner.
