Enovix Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Enovix Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Second Quarter Revenue of $9.0 Million, Up 21% Year-over-Year, at High End of Guidance; First Half 2026 Revenue of $16.6 Million, Up 32% Year-over-Year

Lead Smartphone Customer Confirms Passing More than 1,000 Cycles under the 0.2C Discharge Cycle Test 1; Final Accelerated Cycle-Life Test for Smartphone Qualification Underway, with Completion Expected in 2026

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

1 Standard accelerated cycle-life testing condition based on a combination of 0.2C (2%) and 0.7C (98%) cycles used by customers as proxy for 0.2C cycle life. Blended average time per cycle ≈ 2.4 hours.

“The second quarter showed momentum across all three of our target markets: our lead customer confirmed passing a defining smartphone qualification milestone. We have one final accelerated cycle-life test on the path to smartphone qualification, which we expect to complete this year. We also converted our smart eyewear ramp into initial revenue and substantially expanded our drone and defense pipeline,” said Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix. “With revenue up 21% year-over-year at the high end of guidance and our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, Enovix is executing the transition from technology validation to commercial scale.”

Commercialization Progress: Smartphones

Customer testing is now underway with the final accelerated cycle-life test, aligned through an iterative customer engagement process. This hybrid approach, which replaced the traditional 0.7C test used for legacy graphite batteries, consists of multiple test protocols across a range of charge and discharge conditions, with testing durations differing by variant mix. The lead customer is currently evaluating Enovix’s cells, including an enhanced design, across these multiple variants. The Company anticipates completing this final accelerated test in the fourth quarter of 2026, with targeted system-level field testing to follow.

Enovix’s second smartphone OEM customer continues to progress toward alignment on a qualification framework, following a path parallel to that of the lead customer. The Company expects to begin sample deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Commercialization Progress: Smart Eyewear

“Our smart eyewear business recently marked several important milestones. We completed the international safety certifications required for commercial deployment, advanced our manufacturing ramp, and generated initial product revenue this quarter. Our next-generation AI-2 TM batteries are now in customers’ hands, and we expect them to be well received,” said Dr. Talluri. “We believe these milestones, achieved on a 100% silicon-anode battery in commercial production, further validate that our proprietary cell architecture can be manufactured, certified, and deployed at commercial scale.”

Enovix’s smart eyewear ramp is well underway. Recently, Enovix completed key international safety certifications for its smart eyewear cells and battery packs, including UN 38.3 transportation testing, UL 2054, and KC 62133-2, and passed the full suite of customer reliability tests covering drop, tumble, thermal cycling, and extended heat soak.

Following the start of commercial production in the first quarter, the Company shipped approximately 2,100 silicon-anode AI-1 batteries during the second quarter to support a leading smart eyewear reference platform and recognized initial smart eyewear product revenue. These shipments are being made under a customer order covering 50,000 battery packs for 2026 delivery. The customer has since issued delivery orders (specifying quantities and timing) under that same 50,000-pack order for approximately 19,000 packs to be delivered in the third quarter — an approximately 9x increase over second-quarter shipments. The Company expects to fulfill the balance of the 50,000-pack order during the fourth quarter of 2026, with shipment volumes expected to grow in 2027 as downstream deployments are projected to expand.

Commercialization Progress: Drones, Defense, and Industrial

“Our defense and drone business delivered another quarter of strong growth and pipeline expansion,” said Dr. Talluri. “We are investing now to expand capacity so we can convert our growing pipeline into revenue as customer programs reach launch.”

Demand across Enovix’s drone, defense, and industrial markets continued to expand in the second quarter. The Company’s global pipeline for products manufactured in South Korea increased 41% to approximately $183 million, up from $130 million at the end of the first quarter, with more than half of the growth driven by drone opportunities. Drone opportunities alone exceeded $100 million during the second quarter, with a substantial portion at stages where customers are actively evaluating and testing the Company’s cells or designing them into products. This pipeline represents the Company’s estimate of the peak annual production value of identified design opportunities.

Enovix showcased the recently launched MX-1 TM at industry conferences across the U.S. and Europe during the quarter, with customer interest in the MX1-B01 TM drone cell continuing to grow. In particular, military customers are seeking products that satisfy various governmental requirements, and the Company is well-positioned to meet this demand. The product and transportation certifications necessary to support expanded customer sampling and initial deliveries are progressing well. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company commenced sampling to numerous customers in the third quarter and its drone battery passed UN 38.3 transportation testing, completing a key certification required for commercial shipment. Enovix believes demand for high-performance drone batteries that meet U.S. government sourcing requirements under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) will materially exceed available supply through the end of the decade. Enovix’s South Korea manufacturing operations, with an established production history supporting defense customers, position the Company to be a scaled supplier able to address this gap, and the previously announced capacity expansion at the facility is underway, with the new capacity expected to come online in mid-2027. The expansion is expected to be capital-efficient, utilizing existing land and buildings the Company already owns and leveraging readily available production equipment.

Technology Progress

In the first quarter of 2026, Enovix produced the first engineering samples of AI-2, a next-generation smart eyewear battery expected to deliver approximately 20% higher volumetric energy density than AI-1. AI-2 leverages the EX-3M TM technology node, which reduces separator and current collector thickness, improves packaging efficiency, and increases cathode voltage. One tier 1 smart eyewear customer commenced sampling during the second quarter, and additional tier 1 customers are expected to receive samples in the third quarter. The same EX-3M innovations are also expected to support a step-function in performance gains for Enovix’s future smartphone batteries.

Enovix is also advancing the energy density of the silicon-blended graphite batteries produced at its South Korea facility. MX-2 TM, the next generation of the recently launched MX-1 drone cell, remains targeted for 2027, with a goal of reaching a gravimetric energy density of 400 Wh/kg — a significant advancement for this battery chemistry. Gravimetric energy density is especially critical in drone applications, where every gram of battery weight directly impacts flight time, range, payload capacity, and overall operational effectiveness.

Manufacturing Readiness Progress

Enovix continued to improve execution across Fab2 production zones. In smart eyewear battery production, all but one process step outside of Zone 1 delivered yields during the second quarter of 95% or greater, with individual steps as high as 99.6%. Zone 1 dicing — a key throughput driver across our smartphone and smart eyewear production lines — delivered step-level yield of approximately 84% in the second quarter, up from approximately 80% reported last quarter.

To further improve throughput and cost efficiency, the Company has been implementing a hybrid dicing configuration that combines laser and mechanical dicing in Zone 1. This approach allows Enovix to apply the most effective technique at each step and is expected to reduce cell cost while increasing production rates to support early commercial demand as qualification progresses. The transition to mechanical dicing equipment is well underway, with multiple key dicing steps expected to come online at Fab2 around the end of the year.

In parallel, Enovix is streamlining the manufacturing flow by eliminating select process steps, which is expected to further improve manufacturability, throughput, and yield while reducing capital intensity and unit costs. These initiatives reflect the Company’s ongoing focus on continuously improving efficiency and scalability across its manufacturing operations.

Leadership

As recently announced, Enovix appointed Michael Vyvoda to serve as its Chief Operating Officer to lead the Company’s next phase of global manufacturing execution. Mr. Vyvoda brings decades of operations leadership, including prior experience at Apple, and will oversee manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and customer delivery as Enovix scales production across multiple products, facilities, and end markets. His immediate focus is on scaling production to meet the Company’s second-half commitments: ramping smart eyewear output, preparing manufacturing for smartphone field-test builds, and driving the cost, yield and delivery initiatives underway across Enovix’s factories.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Enovix also strengthened its commercial organization with a senior sales executive who spent nearly two decades at a leading global manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries for consumer devices, where he most recently headed its largest global sales region and built long-standing relationships across major smartphone OEMs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Enovix shareholders, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow, and other non-GAAP measures that are included in this press release.

We use these non-GAAP measures to supplement our financial reporting and to evaluate ongoing operations and results, facilitate internal planning and forecasting, and assess performance against prior periods, industry peers, and the broader market. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP results. Industry peers and other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including but not limited to, that they exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP, which adjustments reflect the exercise of judgment by management. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the GAAP results, provide investors with an additional understanding of our operating performance. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the tables at the end of this press release.

While Enovix provides third quarter 2026 guidance for non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss per share and capital expenditures, we are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of these projected non-GAAP measures, and we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjustments that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to change in fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation and related tax effects, legal costs related to shareholder lawsuit, gain on bargain purchase of assets, acquisition-related costs, and restructuring costs. As a result, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.
