SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (Nasdaq: WATT) (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), a leader in over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reporting revenue of approximately $5.6 million for the year, representing a 633% increase over 2024, and a 48% improvement in net loss compared to the prior year. The Company also provided an update on recent events and Company highlights.

During 2025, the Company demonstrated its continued focus on growth and fiscal discipline, reporting its fourth consecutive quarter of growth, with revenue of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 139% increase from $1.3 million of revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Improvement from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2025 was also evidenced by a narrowing net loss to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 37% improvement from a net loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2025.

"We believe we have reached an inflection point investors have been waiting for—commercial deployments at scale, driving our highest recorded annual revenue to date. Our fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, combined with over 25,000 PowerBridge transmitters deployed with zero returns, and a Fortune 10 retailer’s planned expansion from 410 to 4,700 locations, demonstrates that wireless power networks have moved from technology validation to production infrastructure," said Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous Corporation. "The fundamentals are increasingly being proven; enterprises are choosing wireless power networks over ambient harvesting because they need guaranteed coverage.”
