Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Ideal Power Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Texas in May 2007 under the name Ideal Power Converters, Inc. The Company changed its name to Ideal Power Inc. and re-incorporated in Delaware in July 2013. With headquarters in Austin, Texas, the Company is focused on the further development and commercialization of its Bidirectional bipolar junction TRANsistor (B-TRAN®) solid-state switch technology.
Since its inception, the Company has financed its research and development efforts and operations primarily through the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon, among other things, its ability to obtain adequate sources of funding through future revenues, follow-on stock offerings, issuances of warrants, debt financing, co-development agreements, government grants, sale or licensing of developed intellectual property or other alternatives.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring, and other adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year or any other future periods.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment. The Company has concluded that net income (loss) is the measure of segment profitability. The CODM assesses performance for the Company, monitors budget versus actual results and determines how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) as reported in the statements of operations. There are no other expense categories regularly provided to the CODM that are not already included in the financial statements herein.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not generate material international revenues and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have material assets located outside of the United States.
Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, shares issuable for little or no cash consideration are considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per share. As such, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company included pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock in its computation of net loss per share. The pre-funded warrants were issued in March 2024 and November 2019 with an exercise price of $
In periods with a net loss, no common share equivalents are included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive shares outstanding amounted to
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

MANAGEMENT ’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as our audited 2024 financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to historical information, the discussion and analysis here and throughout this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited, to those set forth under “ Risk Factors ” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Overview
Ideal Power Inc. is located in Austin, Texas. We are solely focused on the further development and commercialization of our Bidirectional bipolar junction TRANsistor (B-TRAN®) solid-state switch technology.
To date, operations have been funded primarily through the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants.
We are in the process of commercializing our B-TRAN® technology and have launched our first two commercial products, the SymCool® Power Module and SymCool® IQ Intelligent Power Module. We generated $13,278 in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Product Launches
In early 2023, we launched our first commercial product, the SymCool® Power Module. This multi-die B-TRAN® module is designed to meet the very low conduction loss needs of the solid-state circuit breaker (“SSCB”) market. We commenced shipment of SymCool® Power Modules to fulfill customer orders in 2024.
In late 2023, we launched our second commercial product, the SymCool® IQ Intelligent Power Module (“IPM”). The SymCool® IQ IPM builds on the multi-die packaging design of our SymCool® Power Module and adds an integrated intelligent driver optimized for bidirectional operation. This product targets several markets including renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicle (“EV”) charging and other industrial applications. We announced our first order for this product in late 2024.
Upon product launch, we design and build initial prototypes for testing and to solicit customer feedback. Based on the results of testing and customer feedback, we incorporate any necessary changes into the product design, build final prototypes and complete additional testing prior to full commercial release. To date, our customers have purchased prototypes in small quantities for evaluation and provided us feedback that has been incorporated into our final product designs. We expect significantly higher volume orders from customers once we secure a design win from them, and they start to build inventory in advance of launching their OEM product. For the product launches described above, we would expect the time from announcing a design win to the sale of the related OEM product to be roughly one year, although it may vary considerably depending on the customer. We would expect a significantly longer design cycle for automotive applications. Design wins are expected to result in significant revenue growth for us over time as product life cycles tend to be relatively long for power electronics products as changing to another technology would require an OEM to redesign their product. See “First Design Win” below.
Development Agreement
In 2022, we announced, and began the first phase of, a product development agreement with Stellantis, a top 10 global automaker, for a custom B-TRAN® power module for use in the automaker’s EV drivetrain inverters in its next generation EV platform. In the first phase of the program, we provided packaged B-TRAN® devices, test kits and technical data to Stellantis for their evaluation. In 2023, we secured, and began the second phase of, this program. In the second phase of the program, we collaborated with Stellantis and the program partners, including both the program’s packaging company and the organization building the initial drivetrain inverter, to supply B-TRAN® devices for integration into the custom power module and inverter designs. Also, as part of the second phase of the program, we provided Stellantis a comprehensive test plan for the testing required to achieve certification to automotive standards for B-TRAN®. The test plan was subsequently approved as submitted. In 2024, we successfully completed the second phase of the program. The next phase of the program builds on the completion of deliverables from the prior two program phases and transitions to Stellantis’ production team. We are currently finalizing the timing and scope of work for the next phase of the program with Stellantis. This phase is expected to include the extensive testing of the custom B-TRAN® module to meet automotive certification standards enabling B-TRAN® to be the core of the powertrain inverter for the automaker’s next-generation EVs.
Customer Engagements
We have announced several engagements and/or initial orders with large companies, including a second top 10 global automaker, a third global automaker, a top 10 global provider of power conversion solutions to the solar industry, three global diverse power management market leaders, five tier 1 automotive suppliers, a global power conversion supplier and others. These companies intend to test and evaluate, or are already in the process of testing and evaluating, our technology for use in their applications. These engagements could lead to future design wins or custom development agreements. We also announced agreements with four distribution partners. We may add other distribution partners in the future.
First Design Win
In late 2024, we announced our first design win for SSCBs with one of the largest circuit protection equipment manufacturers in Asia serving the industrial and utility markets. In connection with this design win, we entered into a joint development agreement for a SSCB product incorporating multiple B-TRAN® devices. The agreement includes the product design, prototype builds and testing of the SSCB, which was targeted for completion in the second quarter of 2025, to be followed by commercial sales later in the year. We completed our deliverables under the agreement in the first quarter of 2025, three months ahead of schedule. We expect to announce additional design wins and/or custom development agreements in the second half of 2025.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2025 to the three months ended June 30, 2024
Revenue. Revenue was $1,275 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,331 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to initial orders from customers evaluating our technology for use in their applications.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue was $3,477 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $17,474 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to initial low volume shipments of our products while cost of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to initial high cost, low volume shipments of prototype products.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $337,272, or 22%, to $1,900,019 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,562,747 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to higher semiconductor fabrication costs of $283,932, personnel costs of $104,640 and other B-TRAN® development spending of $5,211, partly offset by lower packaging and prototyping costs of $56,511.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $50,145, or 5%, to $897,239 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $947,384 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to lower investor relations spending of $75,897 and asset impairments of $66,315 in the three months ended June 30, 2024, partly offset by higher personnel costs of $42,226, stock-based compensation expense of $18,240 and other spending of $16,282 and a gain on lease modification of $15,319 in the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $18,706, or 5%, to $341,033 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $359,739 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to lower personnel costs of $36,424 and stock-based compensation expense of $28,499, partly offset by higher search and placement fees of $27,924, consulting fees of $15,086 and other spending of $3,207.
Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3,140,493, or 9% higher, as compared to the $2,886,013 loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.
Interest Income, Net. Net interest income was $103,728 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $223,948 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to the impact of a declining cash balance on interest earned on our money market account.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3,036,765, or 14% higher, as compared to a net loss of $2,662,065 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the six months ended June 30, 2024
Revenue. Revenue was $13,278 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $80,070 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our revenue included product sales and development revenue related to our first design win. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our revenue was primarily related to the completion of the second phase of our development agreement with Stellantis. We expect revenue to increase modestly in the second half of 2025.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue was $34,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $85,972 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2025 related primarily to initial low volume shipments of our products. Cost of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024 related primarily to our development agreement with Stellantis. We expect negative gross margin from product revenue at low volumes with significant improvement in gross margins as we commence higher volume production and shipments in the future.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $538,371, or 18%, to $3,468,011 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $2,929,640 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to higher semiconductor fabrication costs of $335,220, personnel costs of $264,645 and other B-TRAN® development spending of $42,908, partly offset by lower packaging and prototyping costs of $104,402. We expect higher research and development expenses in the second half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2025 as we continue development of our B-TRAN® technology. There will also be quarter-to-quarter variability to research and development expenses due to the timing of semiconductor fabrication runs and other development activities.

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $4,012, or less than 1%, to $1,797,060 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,801,072 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We expect modestly higher general and administrative expenses, exclusive of stock-based compensation, in the second half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2025.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2,843, or less than 1%, to $679,193 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $676,350 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We expect higher sales and marketing expenses in the second half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2025 as we further commercialize our B-TRAN® technology.
Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $5,965,325, or 10% higher, as compared to the $5,412,964 loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.
Interest Income, Net. Net interest income was $225,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $281,273 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to the impact of a declining cash balance on interest earned on our money market account.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $5,739,789, or 12% higher, as compared to a net loss of $5,131,691 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses since inception. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants.
At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.1 million. Our net working capital at June 30, 2025 was $10.5 million. We had no outstanding debt at June 30, 2025.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our ongoing liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, we may require additional funds in the future to fully implement our plan of operation and there can be no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of sustainable growth in our markets could each impact our business and liquidity.
Operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted in cash outflows of $4,425,301, which were due to the net loss for the period of $5,739,789, partly offset by stock-based compensation of $714,625, depreciation and amortization of $182,107 and favorable balance sheet timing and other non-cash items of $417,756.
Operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted in cash outflows of $3,970,930 which were due to the net loss for the period of $5,131,691, partly offset by stock-based compensation of $745,600, depreciation and amortization of $163,871, favorable balance sheet timing of $155,129 and other non-cash items of $96,161.
We expect an increase in cash outflows from operating activities in the remainder of 2025 as we further develop and commercialize our B-TRAN® technology.
Investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 resulted in cash outflows of $220,337 and $239,004, respectively, for the acquisition of intangible assets and fixed assets.
Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted in net cash outflows of $91,659 with a cash outflow of $91,769 in tax payments related to the vesting of restricted stock units slightly offset by a cash inflow of $110 from the exercise of pre-funded warrants.
Financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted in cash inflows of $15,724,818 in net proceeds from the public offering of our common stock and pre-funded warrants and $86,757 from the exercise of stock options, partly offset by $11,579 in tax payments related to the vesting of restricted stock units.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Trends, Events and Uncertainties
There are no material changes from trends, events or uncertainties disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and its Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any system of controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
We may be subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently party to any legal proceedings.
There are no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
