- Revenue increased 107.5% year over year to $80.1 million
- Achieved record backlog of $678.7 million, up 382.7% year over
year
- Gross margin increased from 5.2% to 22.3%, a 17.1 percentage
point improvement year over year
Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVST) (“Microvast” or the
“Company”), a technology innovator that designs, develops and
manufactures lithium-ion battery solutions, today announced
unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2023 (“Q3 2023”).
“In the third quarter, we achieved excellent year over year
revenue growth, led by increased deliveries of our 53.5Ah cell from
our new Huzhou 3.1 line to our OEM customers,” said Yang Wu,
Microvast’s Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer.
“Operations at our expanded facility in Huzhou, China have exceeded
target yields on high levels of utilization, and our target is to
have over 90% utilization by the end of the fourth quarter.
Completion of the Phase 1A line in Clarksville, Tennessee is a key
operational focus with an accelerated ramp up plan allowing for
delivery of qualified products from early Q2 next year.”
“This was a really solid quarter. We delivered our revenues at
an adjusted gross margin of 24.2%. These gross margin levels are in
the territory of the scaled global battery manufacturers with whom
we compete,” said Craig Webster, Microvast’s Chief Financial
Officer. “The successful conclusion of the Phase 3.1 investment is
an incredible milestone for the year, and positions us very nicely
for Q4 and our plans of another high growth year in 2024.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements
about future financial and operating results, our objectives,
expectations and intentions with respect to future operations,
products and services; and other statements identified by words
such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “project,”
“predict,” “outlook” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of
these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify
statements about the future. These forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our industry
and market sizes, and future opportunities for us. Such
forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of management and are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may
differ materially from the results anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.
Many factors could cause actual results and the timing of events
to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements,
including, among others: (1) changes in the highly competitive
market in which we compete, including with respect to our
competitive landscape, technology evolution or regulatory changes;
(2) risk that we may not be able to execute our growth strategies
or achieve profitability; (3) risks of operations in China; (4) the
impact of inflation and rising interest rates; (5) changes in
availability and price of raw materials; (6) changes in the markets
that we target; (7) heightened awareness of environmental issues
and concern about global warming and climate change; (8) risk that
we are unable to secure or protect our intellectual property; (9)
risk that our customers or third-party suppliers are unable to meet
their obligations fully or in a timely manner; (10) risk that our
customers will adjust, cancel or suspend their orders for our
products; (11) risk that we will need to raise additional capital
to execute our business plan, which may not be available on
acceptable terms or at all; (12) risk of product liability or
regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to our products or
services; (13) risk of any cyber security threat or event and the
effectiveness of our information technology systems to detect and
defend against cyber attacks; (14) economic, financial and other
impacts of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including global
supply chain disruptions; and (15) the ongoing conflicts between
Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, acts of terrorism, other
catastrophic events and any restrictive actions that have been or
may be taken by the U.S. and/or other countries in response
thereto, such as sanctions or export controls. Microvast’s annual,
quarterly and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission identify, address and discuss these and other factors in
the sections entitled “Risk Factors.”
Actual results, performance or achievements may differ
materially, and potentially adversely, from any forward-looking
statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking
statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data
contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements as a predictor of future performance as forward-looking
statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are
inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All
information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and
we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any
forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring
after the date hereof except as may be required under applicable
securities laws. Forecasts and estimates regarding our industry and
end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable,
however, there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates
will prove accurate in whole or in part.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our
financial results, Microvast has disclosed in this earnings release
non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted gross
profit (loss), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net
loss, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the
rules of the SEC. These are intended as supplemental measures of
our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”).
Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, gross
profit and net income (loss), are contained in tabular form in the
unaudited financial statements below. Non-GAAP adjusted gross
profit is GAAP gross profit as adjusted for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense included in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP
adjusted net loss is GAAP net loss as adjusted for non-cash
stock-based compensation expense and change in valuation of warrant
liabilities. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per common share is GAAP
net loss per common share as adjusted for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense and change in valuation of warrant liabilities
per common share. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss
excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash settled
share-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest
income, changes in fair value of our warrant liability and income
tax expense or benefit.
We use non-GAAP adjusted gross profit, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA
and non-GAAP adjusted net loss for financial and operational
decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons. We consider them to be important measures because they
help illustrate underlying trends in our business and our
historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We
believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together
with their most directly comparable GAAP measures, gross profit and
net income (loss), provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not
be indicative of our recurring core business operating results.
We believe that both management and investors benefit from
referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our
performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future
periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate
management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance. We
believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors
both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect
to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational
decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional
investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health
of our business. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide useful information to investors and
others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the
same manner as our management team and board of directors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical
tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a
substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. For example, our calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA may
differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by
our peer companies, or our peer companies may use other measures to
calculate their financial performance, and therefore our use of
non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. The principal
limitation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes
significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be
recorded in our financial statements. In addition, it is subject to
inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by
management about which expense and income are excluded or included
in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. In order to
compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP
financial measures in connection with GAAP results. In addition,
such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC
Regulation S-X and as a result, such information may be presented
differently in our future filings with the SEC. For example, with
respect to the warrant liability resulting from the merger, we now
exclude changes in fair value from net loss in our non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net loss calculation, which
had not been done in prior periods.
