PolarPower Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
GARDENA,CA – August 14, 2025 – Polar Power, Inc. (“Polar Power” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POLA), a global provider of prime, backup, and solar hybrid DC power solutions, reports its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Q22025 Financial Highlights
| ● | Net sales were $2.7 million,<br> compared to $4.6 million in the same period in 2024, a 42% decline |
|---|---|
| ● | Gross profit decreased<br> to $930,000, compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2024, a 49% decline |
| ● | Operating expenses declined<br> 24% to $1.0 million, compared to $1.4 million in the same period in 2024 |
| ● | Net loss was $271,000,<br> or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $501,000, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, in the same period<br> in 2024 |
| ● | Cash used in operating<br> activities in the second quarter of 2025 was $404,000, compared to $1,179,000 provided by operating activities in the same period<br> last year |
Arthur Sams, Chairman and CEO of Polar Power, commented, “The telecom market continues to dominate our customer base for our DC power systems. During the second quarter of 2025, sales to our telecom customers represented 92% of total net sales, compared to 95%, in the same period in 2024. Sales to military customers represented 6% of total net sales, compared to 3% in the same period in 2024. Sales to customers in other markets represented 2% in the second quarter of 2025, and 2% in the same period in 2024. Sales to customers outside of the U.S. represented 3% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 25% in the same period in 2024. While sales of our gensets continued to be sluggish during the second quarter of 2025, we experienced increased sales in aftermarket parts and services of roughly 288%, compared to the same period in 2024. We believe that restructuring our US sales to include distribution through domestic resellers will be the fastest direction in rebuilding sales to pre-pandemic levels.”
“From January 1, 2025, we have been restructuring our sales staff in the Middle East and Africa by adding new personnel along with establishing resellers overseas. With our new staff we have recently increased the number of field trials for our DC generators into South East Asia and Africa telecoms. One field trial in Sudan that was suspended due to civil war years back was restarted last week with favorable results.”
“We are experiencing active participation from LPG fuel distributors in assisting Polar Power with marketing of our microgrids (as installed for the UNHCR in Nigeria) to their customer base. We added heat recovery to our microgrid systems to further increase fuel to useful energy conversion.”
“After 1 year of testing, we plan to release our 30 kW mobile EV charger during the fourth quarter.”
“We plan to continue to improve our sales and marketing proficiency, further diversifying our customer base,” concluded Mr. Sams.
