LION E-Mobility AG Reports Strong Financial Turnaround and Strategic Expansion in 2025

LION E-Mobility AG recorded a very positive business development in the 2025 financial year, with preliminary figures showing total revenue reaching EUR 28.3 million, a 68% increase compared to EUR 16.9 million in 2024. EBITDA improved significantly to EUR 7.5 million from EUR -3.6 million in the previous year, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 26.4%. Net profit also improved from EUR -6.6 million to EUR 3.0 million. Growth was primarily driven by a strong recovery in market demand for batteries, with revenue mainly coming from battery sales to bus manufacturers despite a challenging market environment.

Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION E-Mobility AG, stated that the substantial increase in revenue and marked improvement in EBITDA reflect the recovery in market demand as well as the strength of the company's product portfolio and execution capabilities. The current momentum in the global battery market provides a solid foundation for continued growth going forward. EBITDA improvement was attributed to sustained revenue momentum, favorable procurement conditions, and consistent cost and efficiency measures. Operating cash flow also saw significant improvement, reaching EUR 7.7 million in 2025 compared to EUR -6.5 million in the previous year, confirming the company's sustainable turnaround.

LION continues to make strong progress in its Battery Energy Storage Systems segment, with the BESS pipeline expanding steadily following the successful sale of its first project. The company has considerably strengthened its BESS sales team due to market demand. The company has already successfully delivered its new NMC+ battery pack prototypes to customers for testing purposes and confirmed the system's market readiness and performance under operational conditions. With best-in-class gravimetric energy density at 53 kWh, the NMC+ battery pack establishes a new technological pillar for LION's mobile market portfolio and forms the basis for further scaling and industrialization.

For 2026, LION expects continued growth with revenue above EUR 35 million and again a strongly positive EBITDA. In the second quarter of 2026, battery pack production will be temporarily impacted by a planned two-month factory shutdown for conversion works, with operations scheduled to resume at the end of June. The new production lines will focus on battery packs with high-performance NMC+ battery cells, meaning a significant portion of 2026 revenues is expected to be generated in the second half of the year. Increasing demand in the BESS and defense sectors provides additional growth opportunities, with LION currently working on several defense-related inquiries. A recent example is the collaboration with Mandrill Engineering, where LION Smart's high-performance battery technology powers an advanced unmanned ground vehicle, enabling reliable performance and extended mission capabilities in demanding environments.
