Key Takeaways
Microvast's Q2 revenues rose 9.2% y/y to $91.3 million, boosting margins.
MVST achieved a 34.7% gross margin and a positive adjusted EBITDA of $25.9 million.
Expansion in Huzhou is set to add 2 GWh capacity, as revenue growth of 18-25% is targeted.
Microvast Holdings (MVST - Free Report) demonstrated its operational prowess with a record gross margin of 34.7% in the second quarter of 2025, marking a jump of a whopping 220 basis points (bps) from the year-ago quarter. This growth highlights its operational strength, particularly due to its solid revenues, which increased 9.2% year over year to $91.3 million from the year-ago quarter’s $83.7 million.
This synchronized top-line and gross profit expansion displays a vivid shift in operational scaling rather than depending on growth volume.
The driving force behind the impressive gross margin expansion was clearly outlined by leadership in the second-quarter 2025 transcript as a relentless focus on operational execution, increased utilization and disciplined cost management. This paints a clear picture of the company’s structural and efficiency improvements ingrained by MVST’s supply-chain strength. Operational efficiency was validated with an adjusted gross margin of 36% in the recently reported quarter, up from 28.5% in 2024.
The margin improvement translates into a robust profitability position. The company achieved a positive adjusted EBITDA of $25.9 million in the June quarter, which is a significant feat achieved post an adjusted EBITDA loss of $78.4 million reported in the year-ago quarter. This massive turnaround is a validation of the effectiveness of MVST’s cost execution and scalability, leading to strong financial health.
The strategy behind Microvast’s long-term sustainability revolves around the expansion of capacity and prudent cost management. We expect the Huzhou Phase 3.2 expansion, which will add 2 gigawatt-hour of annual production capacity, to help the company meet customer demand. Banking on these positives, management anticipates 18-25% year-over-year revenue growth and a gross margin between 30% and 32%, signalling confidence in maintaining a robust margin profile, key to sustained profitability.
