(“Dragonfly” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and producer of deep cycle lithium-ion storage batteries, today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022.

● | Gross Profit of $24.0 million was lower compared to $29.6 million in 2021 | |
● | Operating expenses of $(37.5) million, increased compared to $(23.2) million in 2021 | |

● | Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 was a negative $(7.9) million, compared to $8.5 million in 2021 | |
● | Cash was $17.8 million, and debt was $76.2 million on December 31, 2022 |

● | Granted patent for “systems and methods for dry powder coating layers of an electrochemical cell” enabling development of non-flammable cells |
“We executed well in 2022, with strong Net Sales and record growth within the OEM segment, while effectively managing headwinds that challenged the wider industry,” said Denis Phares, CEO of Dragonfly Energy. “We have a robust patent portfolio and we continued to innovate, offering great new products like out IntelLigence line, and Dragonfly’s dry powder coating cell manufacturing technology and non-flammable battery technology, for which we have already begun production of the cell pilot. We are excited to execute on our plan for the next 18 months and we look forward to sharing our progress in the coming quarters.”
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial and Operating Results
Fourth quarter 2022 Net Sales were $20.2 million, which was unchanged versus the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 Net Sales increased 10.6% to $86.3 million compared to $78.0 million in 2021. While total battery unit sales increased, we saw a significant mix shift toward OEMs, which typically carry lower average sale prices.
Fourth quarter 2022 Gross Profit was $4.4 million, lower compared to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 Gross Profit was $24.0 million, lower than in 2021 at $29.6 million. The decline in both periods was primarily driven by a change in revenue mix that favored a larger percentage of lower margin OEM sales, as well as a relative increase in some components of cost of goods.
Fourth quarter 2022 Operating Expenses were $(12.5) million, which was higher compared to $(6.2) million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 Operating Expenses of $(37.5) million, increased compared to $(23.2) million in 2021. The fourth quarter and full year included business combination and other deal related expenses of $(1.1) million associated with the company going public in October 2022.
Fourth quarter 2022 Net Loss was $(11.7) million, compared to a Net Loss of $(0.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a Net Loss for the full year 2022 of $(19.1) million, versus Net Income of $4.3 million in 2021.
Fourth quarter 2022 EBITDA was $(7.8) million, compared to $0.1 million in 2021. Full year 2022 EBITDA was $(12.6) million, compared to $7.1 million in 2021.
Fourth quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation, deal-related expenses and other one-time items, was $(4.8) million, compared to $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, deal-related expenses and other one-time items, was $(7.9) million, compared to $8.5 million in 2021.
The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with $17.8 million in cash and $76.2 million in debt. Dragonfly retains strong financial flexibility with access to a $150 million equity line of credit.
1Q & Full Year 2023 Guidance
First quarter 2023:
● | Net Sales are expected to range between $17 - $19 million, as softer demand from within the DTC segment is expected to be more than offset by growth within the OEM segment | |
● | Gross Margin is expected to increase modestly due to lower overhead, depreciation and labor costs | |
● | Operating Expenses are expected to be $11.5 - $12.5 million, in-line with recent quarters when excluding the impacts from our business combination | |
● | Other Income (Expense) is expected be an expense in the range of $(3.5) - $(3.7) million | |
● | Net Losses are expected to be between $(10.5) - $(11.5) million for the quarter, or ($0.27) - ($0.30) per share based on 38.7 million shares outstanding. |
Full year 2023:
● | Revenue growth is expected to accelerate as the year passes, with particular strength coming from the OEM business in the second half of 2023 | |
● | Net Sales are expected to be between $112 - $122 million, or 36% higher year-over-year at the mid-point of the range | |
● | Gross Margins are expected to increase modestly on a year-over-year basis | |
● | Operating Expenses are expected to increase, but at a slower rate than revenue | |
● | Net Income is expected to return to being positive in the second half of 2023 |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP financial information to enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and to assist investors in evaluating the Company’s results of operations, period over period. Adjusted non-GAAP measures exclude significant unusual items. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to, and not a substitute for financial information prepared on a GAAP basis.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC because it excludes certain amounts included in net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, business combination related expenses and other one-time, non-recurring items.
The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by Dragonfly’s management team to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. As such, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends in the ongoing core operating results of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of net loss or other results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; | |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; | |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes; | |
● | although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; | |
● | Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which the Company may adjust in historical periods; and | |
● | other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
