Key Takeaways

  • Microvast reported Q2 2025 revenues of $91.3M, up 9.2% year over year, with improved gross margins.
  • The company posted positive adjusted EBITDA of $25.9M versus a loss of $78.4M in the prior-year quarter.
  • Prudent cost control and AASB tech advances drive MVST's growth across EV, robotics and grid segments.

Microvast Holdings’ (MVST - Free Report) True All-Solid-State Battery (“AASB”) technology leverages a bipolar stacking architecture that supports internal series connections within a single battery cell. Unlike lithium-ion or semi-solid-state batteries that operate at nominal voltages of 3.2V-3.7V per cell, AASB allows for single-cell voltages of 12V-21V. As mentioned by Yang Wu, CEO of the company, this innovation addresses the real-world safety and efficiency problems. With the ability to eliminate liquid electrolytes and prioritize scalability, MVST is well-positioned to meet the dynamic needs of industries requiring safe energy storage solutions.

Microvast has strengthened its financial position by capitalizing on the rising demand for advanced battery solutions. In the second quarter of 2025, MVST reported record revenues of $91.3 million, reflecting a 9.2% increase year over year. The gross margin also improved 220 basis points compared with the same period last year. Furthermore, the company reported a positive adjusted EBITDA of $25.9 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s negative $78.4 million. Improving profitability alongside rising revenues reflecting operational strength highlights MVST’s success in delivering higher-value solutions like AASB technology. 

Innovation entails significant cost. However, the company has managed to curb that significantly. Microvast’s prudent expense management lowered its operating expenses to $42 million compared with $167.5 million in the year-to-date period. Despite investing aggressively in research and development, the company has achieved operational discipline, which solidifies its ability to invest in innovation internally without relying heavily on debt.

Microvast’s ability to achieve this momentum in the financial performance is reliant on its ability to cater to the strong demand for efficient battery chemistry and system innovations. MVST’s inclination toward AASB highlights the goal to dominate the safety-sensitive electric vehicle, robotics and grid storage segments. All in all, the company’s tech advancements and financial success suggest that it is not only leading AASB technology but also witnessing commercial success, margin gains and scalability in tandem.
