Enovix Corp Q4 FY2025 earnings call

Fourth quarter represented progress in transitioning from qualification to early commercialization across multiple end markets. Strengthened operational leadership with Ki Hong Park leading global manufacturing and Ed Casey joining for advanced manufacturing engineering. Continued to improve yield and throughput in Fab 2. 2026 plans to qualify new products/customers and meet smart eyewear demand. Market-wise, smartphone market has energy density advantage, smart eyewear is an early commercialization pathway, and defense programs provide revenue and validation.

2025 full year revenue grew 38% year over year to $31.8 million. Defense shipments remained the largest contributor, with batteries for naval munitions being a top product in Q4. Full year non - gross margin improved to 23%. Ended the year with $621 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Q1 2026 revenue expected in range of $6.5 - $7.5 million. Non - GAAP loss from operations between $29 - $32 million. Capital expenditures between $9 - $11 million. Plan to advance smartphone qualification, smart eyewear commercialization, and defense pipeline conversion.

No detailed risk discussion explicitly mentioned

Q: How does your current strategy differentiate NFX from competitors?

A: NFX uses 100% active silicon anode, most competitors use graphite; silicon anodes store more lithium and they have an architectural advantage to enable silicon anode without swelling.

Q: At our current burn rate, how long is our cash runway?

A: Ended 2025 with $621 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, with sustained liquidity to execute commercialization strategy without near - term capital raise.

Q: In your engagements with Honor, how receptive were they when you suggested the change in smartphone C - rate test requirements?

A: Honor and customers understand the test is a proxy and accelerated, discussing three pathways to resolve the issue.

Q: Should we think about initial production demand in smart glasses as a purchase order?

A: Yes, manufacturing for lead smart eyewear customer, initial volumes lower but expect market to grow.

Q: How much have you been talking with your potential piece of customers around fixing electrode dicing issue?

A: Yields on dicing close to 80%, working with customers on improving throughput and exploring alternative methods.

Q: Can you talk about the different variations of chemistries in the drone opportunity?

A: Have different chemistries and electrolytes for different drones, trade off cycle life for energy density etc., and have strong manufacturing in Korea/Malaysia.

Q: Can you talk about the form factors and electrolyte/binder materials in the drone opportunity?

A: Different form factors for drones, multiple chemistries and electrolytes used, own factories give advantage.

Q: Relative to the last earnings call, is the 0.7 C metric new?

A: 0.7 C requirement has always been there, discussing ways to resolve it for silicon anode batteries.

Q: Just given Roger's answer on the three different outcomes there, as it relates to modeling the business over the next few quarters, and seasonality for defense?

A: Eyewear is near - term driver, Q1 defense revenue soft due to order pattern, back half stronger.

Q: Can you give us a sense for what the combined Korean operations can support in terms of megawatt hours or revenue?

A: Recognize opportunity, investing incrementally, facility has usable machines for scalable investment.

Q: What is a good way to think about the cadence of testing and production over the next few years for smartphone, eyewear, PCs, and drones?

A: Testing and production cadence varies by market, new customer starting from scratch can take a year to a year and a half, shorter for markets with less stringent requirements.

Q: Can you speak to other markets besides drones that are maybe similar like this where you get a little bit more swelling?

A: Industrial markets with large space like forklifts are more forgiving of swelling.
