LION E-Mobility AG (LION; ISIN: CH0560888270), a leading manufacturer of battery packs for electric mobility and energy storage solutions, announced strong preliminary results for the 2025 financial year, with 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 a loss of EUR -3.6 million in 2024, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 26.4%. Net profit also turned positive at EUR 3.0 million, compared to a loss of EUR -6.6 million in the prior year.
Growth was primarily fueled by a recovery in market demand for batteries, with revenue mainly driven by sales to bus manufacturers. Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION E-Mobility AG, stated: "We are very pleased with our strong and significant progress achieved throughout 2025. The substantial increase in revenue and the marked improvement in EBITDA reflect the recovery in market demand as well as the strength of our product portfolio and execution capabilities." The company attributed the EBITDA improvement to sustained revenue momentum, favorable procurement conditions, and consistent cost and efficiency measures.
Operating cash flow also saw a substantial turnaround, reaching EUR 7.7 million in 2025 compared to EUR -6.5 million in the previous year, confirming the company's sustainable turnaround and providing a solid foundation for further profitable growth.
In the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) segment, LION continues to expand its pipeline following the successful sale of its first project. The company has strengthened its BESS sales team in response to market demand, with growing momentum in Italy. Additionally, LION has successfully delivered its new NMC+ battery pack prototypes to customers for testing, confirming market readiness and performance. The NMC+ pack offers a best-in-class gravimetric energy density of 53 kWh, establishing a new technological pillar for LION's mobile market portfolio.
Looking ahead to 2026, LION expects continued growth with revenue above EUR 35 million and again a strongly positive EBITDA. However, in Q2 2026, battery pack production will be temporarily impacted by a planned two-month factory shutdown for conversion works, with operations resuming at the end of June. The new production lines will focus on high-performance NMC+ battery cells, meaning a significant portion of 2026 revenues is expected in the second half of the year.
Increasing demand in the BESS and defense sectors provides additional growth opportunities. LION is currently working on several defense-related inquiries, including a collaboration with Mandrill Engineering, where LION Smart's high-performance battery technology powers an advanced unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).
