Polar Power, Inc. reported significant declines in financial performance for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, as detailed in its latest 10-Q filing. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the company generated net sales of $1.273 million, a 74% decrease from $4.914 million in the same period of 2024. The nine-month figures also reflected a 50% drop, with sales totaling $5.704 million compared to $11.348 million in 2024. The company attributed these declines primarily to reduced sales to its largest telecommunications customer, which was reportedly managing excess inventory, as well as broader economic and geopolitical factors affecting customer purchasing decisions.
The company's cost of sales for the third quarter increased to $3.533 million, leading to a gross loss of $2.260 million, compared to a gross profit of $1.424 million in the prior year. This shift was exacerbated by a $1.967 million inventory write-down, which adjusted the book value of inventory to its net realizable value. For the nine-month period, the cost of sales was $6.715 million, resulting in a gross loss of $1.011 million, a stark contrast to the gross profit of $2.854 million recorded in the same timeframe in 2024.
Operationally, Polar Power is facing challenges, including delinquent rent payments for its facilities, which have led to a summons for eviction from one landlord. The company is currently negotiating payment plans to address these issues. As of September 30, 2025, Polar Power's total liabilities increased to $9.447 million from $9.034 million at the end of 2024, while stockholders' equity plummeted to $2.899 million from $8.512 million, reflecting a growing accumulated deficit of $35.957 million.
Despite these challenges, Polar Power is pursuing strategic initiatives to stabilize and grow its business. The company has received new orders totaling approximately $850,000 from domestic telecommunications customers and a $674,000 contract from a military customer for mobile applications. Additionally, a purchase order for $1.7 million for mobile electric vehicle chargers was secured, with expectations for delivery in 2026. The company’s backlog as of November 19, 2025, stood at $5.283 million, with a significant portion attributed to telecommunications and military customers.
Looking ahead, Polar Power's management has expressed a commitment to diversifying its revenue streams and improving operational efficiency. However, the company acknowledges that its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon securing additional financing and successfully navigating its current operational challenges. The ongoing negotiations with its landlords and the credit facility with Pinnacle Bank are critical to its financial stability in the near term.
