Electrovaya (NASDAQ:ELVA) Posts Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.01 EPS
by Kim Johansen · The Markets DailyElectrovaya (NASDAQ:ELVA – Get Free Report) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.02 EPS for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.01 by $0.01, Zacks reports. The business had revenue of $15.50 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $16.71 million. Electrovaya had a return on equity of 19.39% and a net margin of 7.07%.
Here are the key takeaways from Electrovaya’s conference call:
- Electrovaya reported a strong Q1 FY2026 with $15.5M revenue (+39% YoY), 32.9% gross margin, ~$2M adjusted EBITDA and ~$1M net income — the fourth consecutive profitable quarter.
- The company strengthened its balance sheet via a $28M equity raise, $22.7M cash on hand and EXIM financing (drawn $16.4M of $50M), and has begun Jamestown facility upgrades with cell production targeted late FY2026/early FY2027 (no cell revenue expected in FY2026).
- Commercial traction is accelerating across verticals — OEM high‑voltage battery deliveries are scheduled to begin in March 2026, modular 48V robotics deliveries started in January, and defense engagements expanded to a second application with defense expected to be a meaningful revenue contributor this year.
- R&D pipeline advancing — an ultra‑fast Infinity cell targeting ~5‑minute charge/discharge and 800‑volt DC energy storage systems are targeted for commercialization in 2027, solid‑state cell scale‑up begins in April, and a new head of energy storage was hired.
- Testing of airport ground support equipment with a major U.S. airline is taking longer than initially expected, which could delay larger-scale orders and near-term revenue from that product line.
