Microvast Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

HOUSTON, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVST) (“Microvast” or the “Company”), a global leader in advanced battery technologies, announced today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (“Q2 2026”).

“In the second quarter, Microvast progressed through a pivotal phase of our global capacity expansion. Delivering $87.3 million in revenue and maintaining a 29.5% gross margin highlights our ability to navigate raw material fluctuations and production utilization cycles. While it impacted our net revenue, returning $2.7 million in IEEPA⁽¹⁾ tariff refunds to our U.S. customers reinforces the strength of our long-term commercial partnerships. With Huzhou Phase 3.2 expected to be on track to deliver up to 2 GWh of next-generation modular capacity and Clarksville pack line localization anticipated to commence operations by year end, we are working to position our business to meet capacity demand across high-barrier commercial and transit markets,” said Yang Wu, Microvast’s Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer.

Q2 2026 Results

• Revenues of $87.3 million, compared to $91.3 million in Q2 2025, decreasing by $4.1 million, or 4.5%. This decrease was primarily driven by $2.7 million in IEEPA⁽¹⁾ tariff refunds issued to a U.S. customer, recorded as a reduction to revenue in the current period.
   
• Gross margin decreased to 29.5% from 34.7% in Q2 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin* decreased to 29.6% from 34.8% in Q2 2025, primarily due to higher raw material prices, and lower production utilization, which reduced fixed cost absorption, slightly offset by recognition of the IEEPA⁽¹⁾ tariff refunds received.
   
• Operating expenses increased to $27.5 million, compared to $23.7 million in Q2 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses* were $26.7 million, compared to $22.9 million in Q2 2025.
   
• Net loss of $12.0 million, compared to net loss of $106.1 million in Q2 2025, primarily due to a reduction in negative impacts from changes in fair value of warrant liability and convertible loan. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss* was $5.3 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net profit* of $16.3 million in Q2 2025.
   
• Net loss per share of $0.03, compared to net loss per share of $0.33 in Q2 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share* was $0.01, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net profit per share* of $0.05 in Q2 2025.
   
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* of $3.6 million in Q2 2026, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* of $25.9 million in Q2 2025.
   
• Capital expenditures of $11.3 million, compared to $7.4 million in Q2 2025.
   
• Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $143.1 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $169.2 million as of December 31, 2025, and $138.8 million as of June 30, 2025.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Results (“YTD 2026”)

• Revenues of $147.9 million compared to $207.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“YTD 2025”), a decrease of 28.8%. This decrease was primarily a result of evolving regulatory and geopolitical dynamics, including in the Indian and Korean markets, demand shift towards lower-cost products in India, OEM platform ramp-up delays, and a $2.7 million IEEPA⁽¹⁾ tariff refund issued to a customer recorded as a reduction to our revenue in the current period.
   
• Gross margin decreased to 30.4% from 36.0% in YTD 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin* decreased to 30.4% from 36.0% in YTD 2025, primarily due to higher raw material prices, lower production utilization, which reduced fixed cost absorption, slightly offset by recognition of the IEEPA⁽¹⁾ tariff refunds received.
   
• Operating expenses increased to $54.6 million, compared to $52.9 million in YTD 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses* were $52.8 million, compared to $51.4 million in YTD 2025.
   
• Net profit of $36.2 million, compared to net loss of $44.3 million in YTD 2025, primarily due to a reduction in negative impacts from changes in fair value of warrant liability and convertible loan. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss* was $19.9 million, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net profit of $35.6 million in YTD 2025.
   
• Net profit per share of $0.11, compared to net loss per share of $0.14 in YTD 2025. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share* was $0.06, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net profit per share* of $0.11 in YTD 2025.
   
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* of negative $1.9 million in YTD 2026, compared to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA* of $54.4 million in YTD 2025.
   
• Capital expenditures of $15.5 million, compared to $14.0 million in YTD 2025.

*The Company presents its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that using additional non-GAAP measures will enhance the evaluation of the profitability of the Company and its ongoing operations. Please see the tables on pages 12-15 below for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are derived from the consolidated financial statements presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026.

⁽¹⁾In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized by statute. Following the ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend collection of such tariffs and to establish a process to refund amounts previously collected. As a result of this ruling, the Company is eligible to receive refunds of tariffs previously paid on qualifying imports. In May 2026, the Company received $4.3 million in tariff refunds, excluding interest. Of this amount, $2.7 million was issued in tariff refunds to a customer. The IEEPA tariff refunds received were recognized as a reduction to the cost of revenue, while the refund issued to our customer was recognized as a reduction of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

2026 Outlook & Forward-Looking Information

• We continue to target a stable gross margin profile through sustained operational discipline and premium product positioning. This approach seeks to balance external pressures including inflationary raw material pricing, duties and tariffs, and elevated logistics and freight expenses against the planned absorption of ramp-up expenses tied to our Phase 3.2 expansion.
• Huzhou Phase 3.2 production capacity ramp up remains our primary operational milestone in 2026. The expansion is anticipated to bring online up to 2 GWh of modular capacity to support next-generation cell demand.
• Localized pack assembly at our Clarksville facility remains on schedule, with initial operations anticipated by year-end. This footprint advances our domestic strategy to supply North American commercial vehicle and transit partners with locally integrated battery systems.
• We continue to seek new commercial momentum across EMEA, North America, and APAC. Our long-term focus remains centered on heavy industrial and transit markets, where our vertical integration and newly launched KAF electric powertrain position us to deliver a durable competitive advantage, subject to final product validation, vehicle-level integration with OEM partners, customer qualification, and availability of domestic manufacturing capacity and capital.

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, non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss), non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) per share, and non-GAAP adjusted gross margin 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 GAAP.

Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, net profit/(loss), and net profit/(loss) per share, 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 share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues. Non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) is GAAP net profit/(loss) as adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expense and change in valuation of warrant liability and convertible loan. Non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) per common share is GAAP net profit/(loss) per common share as adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expense and change in valuation of warrant liability and convertible loan per common share. Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net profit/(loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, and income tax expense or benefit. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit/(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 convertible loan and income tax expense or benefit. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin is defined as GAAP gross margin as adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues.

We use non-GAAP adjusted gross profit, non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss), non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) per share and non-GAAP adjusted gross margin 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 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 July 23, 2021 business combination with Tuscan Holdings Corp., we now exclude changes in fair value from net profit/(loss) in our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net profit/(loss) calculation, which had not been done in prior periods.

*The tax effect of the adjustments was nil.
