Microvast Holdings Reports 43.2% Revenue Growth and Significant Profit Improvement in Q1 2025

Microvast Holdings, Inc. reported significant financial improvements in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The company achieved revenues of $116.5 million, marking a 43.2% increase from $81.4 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by a rise in sales volume, which increased from approximately 353.3 MWh to 535.7 MWh. The gross profit also saw a substantial increase, rising to $43 million from $17.2 million, resulting in a gross margin improvement from 21.2% to 36.9%.

In terms of operational efficiency, Microvast reported a notable reduction in operating expenses, which fell by 37.6% to $25.5 million, down from $40.9 million in the previous year. This decrease was largely attributed to a significant reduction in general and administrative expenses, which dropped by 56.1% due to lower share-based compensation and favorable foreign exchange impacts. The company also recorded a profit from operations of $18.9 million, a stark contrast to the loss of $23.1 million reported in the prior year. Overall, the net profit attributable to Microvast stockholders was $61.8 million, compared to a loss of $24.8 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Strategically, Microvast has been focusing on expanding its production capabilities and product offerings. The company has made substantial investments in its manufacturing facilities, particularly in Huzhou, China, where it has completed a 2 GWh capacity expansion for its 53.5Ah cell technology. Additionally, the company is pivoting its U.S. operations in Clarksville, Tennessee, to focus on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery production, which is expected to better meet market demands for energy storage systems. The introduction of the Mega Energizer 6 MWh (ME6) ESS container, featuring LFP technology, is a key development aimed at enhancing the company's product portfolio.

As of March 31, 2025, Microvast reported a backlog of approximately $350.5 million, with expectations to fulfill the majority of these orders in 2025 and 2026. The company also noted a cash and cash equivalents position of $90.9 million, alongside restricted cash of $32.1 million. However, the company continues to face challenges related to liquidity and capital requirements, raising concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has outlined plans to alleviate these concerns, including generating positive cash flow from operations and refinancing short-term bank borrowings. The outlook remains cautiously optimistic, with expectations for continued growth driven by increased demand for battery solutions in the electric vehicle and energy storage markets.
