Smart Powerr Corp. Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results with Revenue Growth and Increased Net Loss

Smart Powerr Corp. reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, revealing a revenue of $20,625, a significant increase from zero revenue in the same period last year. The company recorded a gross profit of $8,819, resulting in a gross margin of 43%. However, operating expenses surged to $1,171,209, up 462% from $208,430 in the prior year, primarily due to increased financing costs. The net loss for the quarter was $884,460, compared to a loss of $279,797 in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting a year-over-year increase in losses driven by rising operational costs.

In terms of liquidity, Smart Powerr Corp. reported cash and equivalents of $129.6 million as of March 31, 2025, a substantial increase from $25,341 at the end of the previous fiscal year. The company’s current liabilities stood at $13.04 million, resulting in a working capital of $116.81 million and a current ratio of 9.96:1. The company generated $64.63 million in cash from operating activities, a notable recovery from a cash outflow of $183,519 in the same quarter last year, largely due to the recovery of advance payments to suppliers.

Strategically, Smart Powerr is transitioning into an energy storage integrated solution provider, actively seeking opportunities in high-growth sectors such as industrial complexes and renewable energy projects. The company has also made significant changes to its operational structure, including the termination of a contract with Hubei Bangyu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. due to unmet contract terms, which allowed the company to reclaim a substantial advance payment. Additionally, the company raised $9.87 million through equity issuance during the quarter.

The company’s total assets increased to $130.75 million from $121.23 million at the end of 2024, primarily due to the cash influx from financing activities. Smart Powerr's stockholders' equity rose to $114.30 million, reflecting a positive shift in the company's financial position. The company continues to face challenges, including an accumulated deficit of $62.94 million, but management remains optimistic about future growth prospects as it implements its new business strategy.

Looking ahead, Smart Powerr Corp. anticipates that its cash flow will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. The company is focused on disciplined expansion strategies and aims to leverage its cash reserves to explore new market opportunities. However, management acknowledges the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with its business model and market conditions, which could impact future performance.
