Headline financials

Revenue & EPS history

Amprius anticipates being limited by manufacturing capacity until the end of 2023, with increased revenue recognition expected in the latter part of the year due to ongoing development services programs. The company expects general and administrative costs to remain at higher levels and plans to strategically add critical mass to its Amprius Lab and Amprius Fab operating units, allocating the majority of capital to scaling up manufacturing. Higher capital expenditures are expected as the 2 MWh capacity at Amprius Lab is built out and the gigawatt-hour scale Amprius Fab facility is designed and constructed. The company anticipates strong support from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and has received over $10 million in state and local incentive packages related to its gigawatt-scale facility.
