Forward guidance

Amprius expects to be limited by manufacturing capacity until the new 2 MWh capacity comes online at the end of 2023. Increased revenue recognition is expected to be weighted towards the latter part of the year. G&A costs are anticipated to continue at the higher rate experienced exiting 2022. Higher capital expenditures are expected as the company builds out the 2 MWh capacity in Fremont and designs/constructs the gigawatt-hour scale facility in Brighton, Colorado.

Tailwinds

  • Strong support from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is expected as Amprius accesses Production Tax Credits at the anode and cell levels.
  • Over ten million dollars in state and local incentive packages have been received relating to the gigawatt-scale facility.
  • The company has secured the financial foundation necessary to support its initiatives.
  • Amprius is building the capacity to become a leading commercial provider in the sustainable mobility sector.
  • A pipeline of blue-chip customers is being built to meet planned expansion efforts, operating at scale of hundreds of megawatts exiting 2024.

Headwinds

  • Manufacturing capacity will continue to limit the company until the new 2 MWh capacity comes online at the end of 2023.
  • Spending pattern is dependent on several factors outside of the company's control, including the timing of approval for rezoning for the Colorado site.
  • G&A costs are expected to continue at the higher rate experienced exiting 2022, noting additional public company expenses.
  • Higher capital expenditures are expected going forward.
  • Company will continue to be lean on other operating expenses.
