LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2026-- Solid Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDP), a leading developer of solid-state battery technology, today announced its operational and financial results for the full year 2025 and provided its outlook and objectives for 2026.

Recent Business Highlights

• Announced a Joint Evaluation Agreement with Samsung SDI and BMW to progress the development of all-solid-state batteries, marking meaningful progress on our path towards commercialization and validating our electrolyte sampling efforts.
• Conducted detailed design for a continuous electrolyte production pilot line, which we expect to install and commission by the end of 2026.
• Executed on our line installation agreement with SK On, completing factory acceptance testing and nearing completion of site acceptance testing at SK On’s facility.
• Advanced electrolyte innovation and performance by leveraging internal feedback and customer input to drive expected improvements.
• Remained fiscally disciplined, with 2025 cash investment coming in at the lower end of our expected range of $85 million to $95 million, and raised net proceeds of $89.4 million through sales of common stock under an at-the-market (ATM) offering program.

"2025 was a year of strong progress for Solid Power," said John Van Scoter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solid Power. "We advanced our electrolyte technology and executed on our roadmap toward scalable production. We made encouraging progress with our partners on multiple fronts, ranging from BMW’s introduction of an i7 test vehicle featuring our cells and solid-state battery technology to our progress installing a pilot cell manufacturing line at SK On’s facility.”

2025 Financial Highlights

Solid Power delivered $21.7 million in revenue during 2025, an increase of $1.6 million compared to 2024. The increase was driven primarily by work performed under our line installation agreement with SK On.

Operating expenses were $122.6 million in 2025 compared to $125.5 million in 2024 driven by research and development costs and equipment purchases and services performed in support of the SK On agreements. 2025 operating loss was $100.8 million, and 2025 net loss was $93.4 million, or $0.51 per share.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Solid Power’s liquidity position remains strong. Total liquidity as of December 31, 2025, was $336.5 million, an increase of $9.0 million compared to December 31, 2024, as shown below.

As of December 31, 2025, contract assets and accounts receivables were $9.6 million and total current liabilities were $16.8 million. Solid Power raised net proceeds of $56.0 million under an at-the-market (ATM) offering program during the fourth quarter of 2025, bringing 2025 net proceeds from the ATM to $88.8 million.

2025 capital expenditures totaled $10.2 million, primarily representing costs for planned construction of our continuous electrolyte production pilot line. Our 2025 final cash investment of $84.5 million, which includes cash used in operations and capital expenditures, came in at the lower end of our revised cash investment guidance.

2026 Outlook

Solid Power remains committed to delivering on the following key objectives for 2026:

• Strengthen relationships with our partners through continued execution.
• Continue executing on our electrolyte development roadmap, including exploring potential partnership opportunities for commercial-scale electrolyte production.
• Promote electrolyte product competitiveness, leveraging the Electrolyte Innovation Center and cell research and development to support customer success.
• Remain fiscally disciplined while continuing to invest appropriately in technology development and process improvements.

The company expects 2026 cash investment, representing cash used in operations and capital expenditures, to be in the range of $85 million to $100 million.
