Management Commentary
"In Q1, we achieved record revenue and our first quarter of positive cash flow from operations," stated John Yozamp, CEO of Expion360. "This strong performance was the result of the increasing demand for our industry leading lithium-ion batteries and accessories for RV, marine and other mobile and stationary power applications. It also reflects how we have significantly strengthened our distribution channels and expanded our customer base of dealers, wholesalers and OEMs over the past year.

"In February, we took a major step towards onshoring our product assembly by securing a 30,000 sq. ft. facility near our headquarters in Redmond, Oregon. We anticipate this new in-house assembly line will improve our operational efficiencies while creating valuable American jobs. We are working towards it becoming operational before the end of the year.

"While many companies are reporting supply chain issues, we believe we have been able to successfully navigate these challenges. We have been leveraging our strong cash position and positive cash flow to opportunistically increase our inventory levels in anticipation of future needs. As a result, we have not experienced supply constraints in fulfilling the orders in our growing sales pipeline.

"In fact, in April, we began shipments of more than 500 e360 lithium batteries to another new major customer, AIM, who provides premium wholesale RV parts and accessories to hundreds of dealers, distribution chain partners and retailers nationwide.

"Also during the quarter, we began selling our products to one of the largest and most well-established battery distributors in the U.S. This distribution network operator has a long-standing strong reputation among RV and marine professionals. We believe their decision to purchase our products is a validation of the quality and innovations we have introduced with our e360 lithium battery product line.

"We expect these new customer wins to increase our sales and elevate our brand nationwide, as well as potentially open the door to new applications, like golf carts and other small service vehicles. These new major customers represent the fruits from our efforts to capitalize on the ongoing market conversion from lead-acid to lithium batteries as a primary method of power storage. Our battery products can also replace gas or propane powered generators to deliver clean and minimal-footprint electric power.

"Looking ahead, we expect our momentum to continue. The progress we've made expanding our customer base and distribution channels over the last year has set the stage for what we anticipate will be the best year yet for Expion360."

Q1 2022 Financial Summary

Revenue in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $2.2 million, up 144% from $885,000 in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of lithium-ion batteries and accessories to dealerships, wholesalers and OEMs.

Gross profit totaled $862,000 or 40.0% of revenue as compared to $275,000 or 31.1% of revenue in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to product price adjustments, as well as increased sales of higher margin products primarily to dealerships.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.2 million compared to $317,000 in the same year-ago quarter.

Net loss totaled $697,000 or $(0.16) per share compared to a net loss of $247,000 or $(0.10) per share in the same year-ago period.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $799,000 at March 31, 2022, as compared to $773,000 at December 31, 2021. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2022, the company raised net proceeds of approximately $15.7 million in its IPO on the Nasdaq Capital Markets.
