Pioneer Power (PPSI) grows 2025 revenue 21% but swings to $6M net loss

Pioneer Power Solutions (PPSI) reported a 20.8% increase in 2025 revenue to $27.6 million, exceeding guidance, primarily due to higher sales of its e-Boost mobile EV charging solutions. Despite revenue growth, the company swung to a net loss of $6.0 million from a $31.9 million net income in 2024, attributed to a significant drop in gross margin to 12.4% and increased investments in new power systems like PRYMUS and PowerCore. The company also saw a decline in backlog and cash on hand, partly due to a special $16.7 million dividend payment.
