Analysis
Enovix reported $9.0 million of second-quarter revenue, up 21% year-over-year and 19% sequentially, reaching the high end of guidance. First-half revenue was $16.6 million, up 32% year-over-year. The company described this as its fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, supported by initial smart eyewear product revenue and progress across its targeted commercialization markets.
Product mix weighed on profitability. GAAP gross margin was 14.4%, down 11.6 percentage points year-over-year, while non-GAAP gross margin was 19.9%, down 10.9 percentage points. Enovix attributed the declines to a shift in battery product mix. The company nevertheless reported its seventh consecutive quarter of positive gross profit. GAAP net loss per share was $0.20, compared with $0.22 in the prior-year quarter, while non-GAAP net loss per share was unchanged at $0.13.
Commercial milestones were the central operational development. The lead smartphone customer confirmed batteries passed more than 1,000 cycles under the 0.2C discharge cycle test, and Enovix expects to complete the final accelerated cycle-life test in the fourth quarter of 2026. In smart eyewear, the company shipped approximately 2,100 AI-1 batteries, recognized initial product revenue, and received delivery orders for approximately 19,000 packs in the third quarter under a 50,000-pack customer order. Drone, defense, and industrial pipeline expansion was also substantial, reaching approximately $183 million from $130 million at the end of the first quarter, with drone opportunities exceeding $100 million.
Manufacturing execution showed improvement at Fab2, where Zone 1 dicing yield reached approximately 84%, up from approximately 80% last quarter, and all but one process step outside Zone 1 delivered yields of 95% or greater. Management is pursuing hybrid laser and mechanical dicing, select process-step eliminations, and a South Korea capacity expansion expected to come online in mid-2027. These initiatives are intended to raise throughput, reduce unit costs, and support commercial demand.
Third-quarter revenue guidance is $9.0 to $10.0 million, representing approximately 13% to 25% year-over-year growth. The principal near-term execution markers are the ramp to approximately 19,000 smart eyewear pack deliveries in the third quarter, completion of the final smartphone cycle-life qualification test in the fourth quarter, and progress converting the expanding drone, defense, and industrial opportunity pipeline into revenue. The company ended the quarter with approximately $552.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including restricted cash.
Management, verbatim
The second quarter showed momentum across all three of our target markets: our lead customer confirmed passing a defining smartphone qualification milestone. We have one final accelerated cycle-life test on the path to smartphone qualification, which we expect to complete this year. We also converted our smart eyewear ramp into initial revenue and substantially expanded our drone and defense pipeline.
Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix
With revenue up 21% year-over-year at the high end of guidance and our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, Enovix is executing the transition from technology validation to commercial scale.
Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix
Our defense and drone business delivered another quarter of strong growth and pipeline expansion. We are investing now to expand capacity so we can convert our growing pipeline into revenue as customer programs reach launch.
