“In the fourth quarter of 2024, we achieved preliminary unaudited revenue of $1.8 to $2.0 million, representing strong sequential growth from the third quarter in both the top and bottom lines,” said Brian Schaffner, Chief Executive Officer of Expion360. “We believe we are making significant progress against our goals with the ongoing expansion of our OEM relationships and distribution network to meet the increasing demand for high-quality lithium battery technology from existing and recent new customers including Scout Campers, Alaskan Campers, and K-Z Recreational Vehicles. Our progress also expands beyond this vertical, having just announced that we will begin shipping our Home Energy Storage Solutions to our key integration partner, Wellspring Solar, in January 2025. We look forward to providing additional updates regarding the timing of our next conference call and to discussing our financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, which are expected to be announced in March 2025.”

Financial Disclosure Advisory

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The select preliminary, unaudited results described in this press release are estimates only and are subject to revision until the Company reports its full financial and business results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024. These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 and actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of year-end accounting procedures and adjustments, including the execution of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the completion of the preparation and audit of the Company’s financial statements and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the formal issuance of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures, including operational net loss, are presented in this press release to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company's financial and operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company's core financial and operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company.

To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period.
