Sentiment:

Quarterly Report 10 November 2025 4:14 PM

📋All filings for Energy Vault Holdings, INC

Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. reported a significant revenue increase in Q3 2025, driven by accelerated EPC projects and the commercial operation of new energy storage systems, alongside strategic financing and a new joint venture.

Delay expectedSeveral third-party sales projects within the backlog and development pipeline experienced delays or cancellations due to the anticipated increase in costs associated with importing B-Vault products from China, stemming from U.S. tariffs.The temporary 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs between the U.S. and China, effective May 14, 2025, was extended for another 90 days, postponing the scheduled jump in tariffs, but the November 10, 2025 expiration date means elevated duty levels could resume, creating ongoing uncertainty and potential for future delays in sourcing and project execution.

Capital raiseThe company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $25.0 million of newly issued shares to Hudson Global Ventures, LLC under the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, with $6.8 million already raised year-to-date.A similar equity purchase agreement with Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. allows for the sale of up to $25.0 million in shares over a 36-month term, commencing after the Hudson agreement or 90 days.The company issued $27.8 million in CRC Senior Notes on April 4, 2025, bearing interest at 12.5% (then 9.5%).A Cross Trails Senior Note for approximately $17.8 million was entered into on July 23, 2025.Multiple agreements for the sale of future receipts (Cedar, UFS, Reliance) were entered into, totaling $7.5 million in purchase price, providing short-term liquidity.The company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for senior unsecured convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million, with an initial tranche of $30.0 million funded on September 22, 2025.A Tax Credit Transfer Commitment was secured to sell ITCs from three projects for approximately $40.6 million, net of fees, by December 15, 2025.The joint venture with OIC for Asset Vault, LLC includes an initial cash contribution of $35.0 million and a commitment for further cash contributions up to an aggregate of $300.0 million.

Worse than expectedThe net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased to $(82.9) million from $(73.9) million in the prior year, indicating a worsening financial performance in terms of overall profitability.The accumulated deficit significantly increased to $(466.7) million, reflecting continued and growing losses.Total liabilities increased substantially by $143.7 million, indicating increased financial risk and leverage.Interest expense increased dramatically from $(0.04) million in Q3 2024 to $(2.8) million in Q3 2025, and from $(0.1) million to $(5.4) million year-to-date, reflecting higher borrowing costs.Interest income decreased significantly, indicating lower returns on cash balances or reduced cash available for interest-bearing investments.

Sentiment

Score: 4

Explanation: While revenue growth is strong and strategic initiatives like the Asset Vault JV and new project acquisitions are positive, the significant increase in net losses, accumulated deficit, and total liabilities, coupled with high interest expenses and ongoing tariff-related risks, indicate considerable financial challenges and uncertainty. The company's liquidity position is supported by recent financings, but long-term profitability remains a concern.

Positives

Revenue for Q3 2025 increased by $32.1 million to $33.3 million, primarily driven by accelerated EPC projects in Australia and new commercial operations.
Gross profit for Q3 2025 increased by $8.5 million to $9.0 million, benefiting from higher energy storage product sales and a favorable adjustment in estimated warranty costs.

The contingent right for 9.0 million Earn-Out Shares expired on May 12, 2025, without being satisfied.

Risks

The U.S. government implemented a 20% tariff under the IEEPA on imports from China, including lithium-ion batteries, with an additional 125% reciprocal tariff imposed on Chinese-origin goods, leading to a cumulative U.S. import tariff burden of approximately 155.9% on B-Vault products.
A temporary 90-day pause in certain reciprocal tariffs, effective May 14, 2025, lowered the cumulative tariff rate on B-Vault products to approximately 30%, but this extension expires November 10, 2025, with no assurance of a long-term agreement.
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the government's authority to impose the March 4, 2025 tariffs, but the decision is under appeal, creating legal and political ambiguity.
New export-control licensing requirements from China on certain lithium-ion battery cells, graphite anode materials, and high-performance battery manufacturing equipment, effective November 8, 2025, are expected to tighten availability and increase costs.
The company has not successfully imported B-Vault products from non-Chinese suppliers on an economical basis, posing a significant supply chain risk.
Macroeconomic uncertainty, including trade policies and tariffs, could materially impact financial results.
Investment in development projects may not achieve commercial operations in the predicted timeframe or at all.
Volatility in the credit markets and broader financial services sector could impact the availability and cost of both debt and equity financing.
The market for energy storage products is competitive, and increased competition could adversely affect revenue and profitability.
Inflationary pressures on material, labor, and construction costs may increase expenses that cannot be fully offset by price increases.
Changes in federal, state, and local government statutes and regulations concerning electricity heavily influence the market and could affect the ability to deliver cost savings.
The company has incurred significant net losses and accumulated deficits since inception and anticipates incurring net losses for the foreseeable future, with no guarantee of achieving or maintaining profitability.
Customer concentration risk exists, with a few customers accounting for a large portion of total revenue.
Bookings, backlog, and developed pipeline may not be indicative of future revenue and may not result in actual revenue as anticipated or in a timely manner due to project delays or cancellations beyond the company's control.

Future Outlook

Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, combined with subsequent financing actions, will be sufficient to fund operating activities for at least the next twelve months. The company anticipates continued net losses for the foreseeable future. Future performance is highly dependent on the successful execution of its transition to an owned and operated asset model, the conversion of its developed pipeline into contracted backlog, and mitigating risks related to tariffs and supply chain disruptions. The company expects to monetize investment tax credits and may raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financings, including project-specific preferred equity.

Management Comments

Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on hand as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, along with the actions which can be taken subsequent to September 30, 2025 as discussed above, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Industry Context

The energy storage industry is experiencing rapid growth driven by increasing electricity demand, global transitions to renewable energy, and a focus on grid resilience. Government incentives, such as those from the Inflation Reduction Act, are directly supporting the adoption of energy storage. However, the industry faces challenges from evolving trade policies, such as U.S. tariffs on Chinese lithium-ion batteries and China's new export controls, which can impact supply chains and costs. The company's strategic shift to an 'own and operate' model aligns with the increasing demand for integrated energy storage solutions and aims to leverage its proprietary technologies and market experience in this expanding sector. Software solutions are also becoming increasingly vital for managing complex renewable energy and storage portfolios.

Comparison to Industry Standards

The company's transition to an 'own and operate' model, exemplified by projects like the Cross Trails BESS and CRC HESS, positions it to capture more value in the rapidly growing utility-scale energy storage market, similar to integrated energy developers.
The establishment of Asset Vault, LLC as a joint venture for developing, building, owning, and operating energy storage assets globally, with significant capital commitment from OIC, indicates a strategic move to scale operations and compete with larger players in the energy infrastructure sector.
The acquisition of project rights for the 125 MW/1,000 MWh Stoney Creek BESS in Australia and the 150 MW/300 MWh SOSA BESS project in Texas demonstrates an aggressive expansion strategy in key global markets, comparable to other leading energy storage developers seeking to build diversified portfolios.
The company's focus on proprietary gravity, battery, and green hydrogen energy storage hardware technologies, supported by its technology-agnostic energy management system software, suggests a differentiated approach compared to pure-play battery storage providers, aiming for a broader solution offering.

Legal Proceedings

The U.S. Court of International Trade issued a ruling against the government's authority to impose the March 4, 2025 tariffs under the IEEPA, which is currently under appeal and its ultimate outcome remains uncertain. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to begin hearing oral arguments on November 5, 2025, with a ruling potentially expected at the end of 2025.
The company is regularly subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, but currently believes an unfavorable outcome would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Related Party Transactions

Stakeholder Impact

**Shareholders**: Increased net losses and accumulated deficit could negatively impact shareholder value. However, significant revenue growth, new project acquisitions, and strategic capital raises (including the Asset Vault JV) could provide long-term growth opportunities. Dilution risk exists from equity purchase agreements and convertible debentures.
**Employees**: Reorganization costs of $1.2 million indicate personnel reductions, potentially impacting employee morale and job security. However, the company's growth strategy and new projects could create future employment opportunities.
**Customers**: Delays or cancellations of projects due to tariffs could impact customer satisfaction and project timelines. The expansion into owned and operated assets aims to provide reliable and affordable energy storage solutions.
**Suppliers**: Supply chain disruptions and new export controls from China could affect the availability and cost of components, impacting supplier relationships and potentially leading to diversification efforts.
**Creditors**: The significant increase in total liabilities and interest expense indicates higher financial risk for creditors. However, new debt financings and restricted cash balances provide collateral and liquidity for debt servicing.
**Regulatory Bodies**: Ongoing compliance with SEC reporting requirements and NYSE listing criteria is maintained. The company is actively monitoring and adapting to changes in U.S. energy storage regulations and tax laws, including the OBBBA and IRA, which could impact its business model and project economics.

Recommendation

hold

Energy Vault is in a transitional phase, demonstrating strong revenue growth and strategic expansion into asset ownership, which are positive long-term indicators. The establishment of the Asset Vault joint venture with OIC and the acquisition of new projects highlight significant growth potential and access to capital. However, the company continues to incur substantial net losses, has a growing accumulated deficit, and has significantly increased its debt load, leading to higher interest expenses. Furthermore, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S.-China tariffs and their impact on supply chains presents a material risk. While the company has regained NYSE compliance and is actively managing its liquidity, the current financial performance and external risks warrant a cautious 'hold' recommendation. Investors should monitor the execution of its strategic shift, the resolution of tariff issues, and progress towards sustained profitability before considering a stronger position.
