| ● | For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Energous reports preliminary revenue of approximately $3.0 million, compared to approximately $1.3 million in the previous quarter. |

SAN JOSE, Calif. – January 13, 2026 – Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (NASDAQ: WATT) (“Energous,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a leader in over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks, today announced preliminary financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, highlighting record revenue growth, improved operating performance, and accelerating commercial momentum.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Energous expects to report annual revenue of $5.6 million versus approximately $0.8 million in 2024, representing an increase of more than 630% year-over-year and the highest recorded annual revenue in the Company’s history. The Company also expects to report a significant improvement in operating performance, with net loss decreasing more than 45% year-over-year, reflecting increased scale, improved cost discipline, and continued progress toward profitability. Energous also strengthened its financial position by raising approximately $23.9 million in equity capital while also eliminating debt and certain liabilities from its balance sheet, enabling sustained investment in product innovation, commercial expansion, and strategic growth initiatives.
Financial momentum continued in the fourth quarter of 2025, with preliminary reported revenue increasing by approximately 139% quarter-over-quarter to approximately $3.0 million, while net loss improved by over 25% compared to the third quarter of 2025.
All results are preliminary and are subject to finalization and adjustment in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
“2025 was a defining year for Energous, marked by consecutive quarters of revenue growth, improved operating performance, and strengthening of our balance sheet to provide crucial capital to drive operating results and strategy,” said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous. “As demand for wireless power accelerates rapidly, we are seeing clear validation of our strategy and technology in the form of growing deployments, expanding customer relationships, and improving financial discipline. These results reflect meaningful progress toward building a scalable, sustainable business positioned for long-term growth.”
Product Breakthroughs and Commercial Validation
In parallel with its financial progress, Energous expanded its product portfolio in 2025 with four new products that further advance the Company’s end-to-end wireless power platform:
| 1. | e-Sense – a battery-free, maintenance-free wireless sensor for location and temperature monitoring in retail, supply chain, and logistics environments. |
| 2. | e-Compass – a secure, cloud-based platform for managing Wireless Power Network (WPN) deployments. |
| 3. | PowerBridge MOD – a modular, AI-driven transmitter designed for adaptive asset tracking across dynamic environments. |
| 4. | PowerBridge PRO+ – a transmitter featuring an integrated gateway that simplifies deployments while delivering enterprise-grade performance and visibility. |
Together, these innovations deliver a fully integrated approach to a battery-free Ambient IoT platform – from power and sensing to data and intelligence. Energous also bolstered its technology foundation in 2025 with 15 new patents granted, reinforcing the Company’s ability to deliver differentiated and defensible solutions across global markets.
Commercial momentum continued to build throughout the year, with the Company successfully joining the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network, enabling customers to integrate Energous’ wireless power and sensing technologies with AWS cloud services to support scalable, data-driven operations. Energous’ hardware and software solutions are now also qualified and available through the Amazon Marketplace, further streamlining procurement and deployment for enterprise customers.
Alongside these ecosystem developments, the Company achieved several operational milestones throughout the year, including:
| ● | Support for 410+ retail stores and fulfillment centers. |
| ● | Deployment across three national grocery distribution centers. |
| ● | 14 international deployments. |
| ● | More than 25,000 PowerBridge units shipped. |
| ● | Zero product returns on PowerBridge systems. |
“This past year marked an important inflection point for Energous, as we translated years of technology development into tangible financial and commercial momentum,” concluded Burak. “With a stronger balance sheet, expanding customer deployments, and a growing ecosystem around our wireless power platform, we believe the Company is well positioned to scale in 2026 and beyond.”
