SAN JOSE, Calif. – October 15, 2025 – Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading developer of wireless power networks for ambient IoT, today announced continued commercial and financial momentum driven by accelerating customer adoption and growing demand for its wireless power network solutions.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Energous expects to report revenue of approximately $1.3 million, compared to approximately $0.2 million in the same period last year – representing an improvement of over six times year-over-year and a 31% increase over the prior quarter’s reported revenue.
This marks the highest recorded quarterly revenue for Energous since 2015, contributing to year-to-date revenue of approximately $2.6 million through September 30, 2025 – generated by shipments to two Fortune 10 customers, among others, and representing a 237% increase over full-year 2024 revenue.
The company expects to report a loss from operations in the range of $2.1 million to $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the lowest since 2014, and a significant improvement from the $2.8 million loss in the second quarter of 2025, underscoring continued progress toward profitability. During the third quarter of 2025, Energous also continued to strengthen its balance sheet by accessing additional strategic capital and eliminating certain warrants, including all adjustable price warrants, through the early exercise of the warrants.
These third quarter results are preliminary and are subject to finalization and adjustment in connection with the preparation of the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
“Ambient IoT is quickly becoming a foundational layer of enterprise infrastructure – and Energous is helping power that future,” said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous. “The combination of our expanding commercial deployments and the strongest financial results in nearly a decade demonstrate the market’s accelerating recognition of Energous as the backbone of wireless power networks for ambient IoT.”
Energous’ commercial progress continues to build on previously announced enterprise milestones. The company currently holds an order backlog of approximately $4.2 million as of October 10, 2025, including large-scale purchase commitments from a Fortune 10 company representing the first phases of major enterprise deployments. Shipments associated with these orders are expected to begin later this year.
This Fortune 10 customer has now expanded its initial deployment scope to include stores nationwide, as part of its focus on supply chain modernization.
At the same time, Energous is engaged in proof-of-concept (PoC) projects and discussions with global leaders across telecommunications, logistics, food and beverage, and related industries. Several of these pilots are deploying Energous’ full end-to-end wireless power solution, further validating the company’s market readiness and scalability.
In addition to its wireless power network solutions, Energous’ end-to-end solution is designed to support the unique power requirements of the ambient IoT. The system includes its wirelessly powered, battery-free E-Sense sensors that continuously monitor and communicate critical environmental data; a network of RF-based energy transmitters that deliver reliable power over the air; and a robust cloud-based platform for real-time device monitoring, configuration, and analytics.
This end-to-end architecture enables continuous sensing at scale – without the cost, complexity, or waste of battery maintenance and replacement.
Looking ahead, Energous is finalizing plans to launch a new series of wireless power products, expanding the reach and capability of its network to support broader adoption across key verticals.
Concluded Burak, “As enterprises increasingly turn to ambient IoT to digitize and automate their physical operations, Energous remains uniquely positioned to power the next generation of connected intelligence – at scale and without wires or batteries.”
