its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

 

“We are pleased to report a second consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, driven by demand from OEM customers, demonstrating the strength of our long-term partnerships, proprietary product offerings and compelling value propositions,” commented Dr. Denis Phares, Chief Executive Officer. “While the RV market continues to navigate headwinds, we are seeing encouraging customer adoption trends, along with continued penetration of the large heavy duty trucking market.”

 

“During the first quarter of 2025, we continued to implement our corporate optimization initiative, prioritizing product development to drive near term revenue and profit. For instance, this strategic shift is accelerating our development of purpose-built solutions for the trucking and industrial markets, resulting in the recent launch of our Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack, a practical, cost-effective hybrid electrification solution for the trucking industry.”

 

“We have also focused on optimizing our manufacturing efficiency and throughput, enabling us to increase our production capacity without the need for increased headcount,” continued Dr. Phares. “We believe these operational improvements, together with the capital raise completed in February 2025, provide the foundation for our path to revenue growth and profitability.”

Net Sales by Customer Type

(in thousands)

 

   Fiscal Quarter Ended     
   March 31, 2025   March 31, 2024   Change (YoY) 
OEM  $8,091   $7,302    10.8%
DTC  $5,015   $5,203    -3.6%
Licensing Fee  $250    N/A    N/A 
Net Sales  $13,356   $12,505    6.8%

 

Net Sales increased 6.8% to $13.4 million. OEM net sales grew 10.8% to $8.1 million, driven by increased adoption on new models by existing customers. DTC net sales were $5.0 million compared to $5.2 million, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic pressures.

 

Gross Profit increased 28.7% to $3.9 million. Gross Margin was 29.4%, up 500 basis points from 24.4%, due to higher volume. Operating Expenses were $9.8 million, compared to $8.9 million. The increase was primarily due to one-time expenses related to patent litigation and the capital raise completed in February 2025.

 

The Company reported a Net Loss of $(6.8) million, or $(0.93) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss of $(10.4) million or $(1.55) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, changes in the fair market value of our warrants, and other one-time expenses, was $(3.6) million, compared to $(5.2) million.

 

Summary and Outlook

 

“Looking ahead, we believe Dragonfly Energy’s growing U.S.-based production capabilities—including direct control over final assembly—along with our strategic onshoring of select components, will help strengthen our competitive position in today’s volatile tariff environment. In parallel, we are taking steps to mitigate tariff-related impacts by negotiating favorable terms with suppliers and working closely with key customers regarding potential price adjustments. We remain optimistic in our ability to navigate the current macro environment while continuing to execute on our growth initiatives.”

 

For the second quarter we anticipate net sales of $14.8 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 12%. Our strategic priorities for the year remain focused on driving value through product innovation, revenue diversification, and prudent cost management” Dr. Phares concluded.
