## Overview

Microvast Holdings, Inc. designs, develops, and manufactures advanced lithium-ion battery components and systems for electric commercial vehicles and utility-scale energy storage. The company is headquartered in Stafford, Texas, but its manufacturing footprint and sales base are global, with production centered in China and a growing push into the U.S. and Europe.

## Products & services

• Lithium-ion battery power systems for commercial EVs
• Energy storage systems for utility-scale applications
• LpTO, LpCO, MpCO, HpCO and HnCO battery platforms
• Battery cell and pack design, development, and manufacturing
• Manufacturing capacity expansion for next-generation cells

- **Commercial EV battery systems** (70%) — Battery packs and power systems used in electric commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks.
- **Utility-scale energy storage systems** (20%) — Battery systems sold for grid and stationary storage applications.
- **Battery components and cells** (10%) — Core battery cells and related components used in integrated power systems.

- Manufacturing capacity expansion for next-generation cells

## Customers

Microvast sells primarily to commercial vehicle OEMs, fleet operators, and energy storage customers that need purpose-built battery systems rather than commodity cells. Its revenue is concentrated in a limited number of large customers, and demand is tied to electrification programs, fleet replacement cycles, and utility storage deployments.

- **Commercial vehicle OEMs** (primary) — Buy battery packs and systems for electric buses, trucks, and other commercial platforms where duty cycle and reliability matter.
- **Fleet operators** (primary) — Buy battery systems indirectly or through OEM programs to electrify fleets and reduce operating emissions and fuel costs.
- **Utility-scale ESS customers** (secondary) — Buy stationary battery systems for grid balancing, renewable integration, and storage projects.
- **Large strategic accounts** (primary) — A small number of customers can drive a disproportionate share of revenue in any given quarter.

- Commercial vehicle OEMs buying battery systems for electric buses and trucks
- Fleet operators seeking durable, high-cycle battery solutions
- Utility and energy storage customers deploying grid-scale ESS
- Large customers that can represent more than 10% of quarterly revenue
- International buyers in China, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the U.S.

## Geography

Revenue is currently concentrated in Europe and Asia-Pacific, with China remaining a major market and the U.S. still a smaller but growing contributor. The company also manufactures in China, which creates cost advantages but increases exposure to trade policy, tariffs, and U.S.-China regulatory friction.

- **Europe** (52%)
- **Asia & Pacific** (43%) — Includes China and other Asia-Pacific countries
- **U.S.** (5%)

- Europe was 52% of Q1 2025 revenue, the largest reported region
- Asia & Pacific was 43% of Q1 2025 revenue, including China
- China alone was 38% of Q1 2025 revenue
- U.S. was 5% of Q1 2025 revenue, still a small but strategic market
- Manufacturing center is in China, increasing trade and sourcing exposure

## Strategy

Microvast is focused on expanding battery production capacity, improving liquidity, and broadening its international customer base. Management is also prioritizing U.S. domestic battery production, while using refinancing, cost actions, and selective capital spending to stabilize the balance sheet and support growth.

- **Expand manufacturing capacity** (medium-term) — Additional capacity is needed to support next-generation cells and customer demand growth.
- **Strengthen liquidity and refinance debt** (short-term) — The company has relied on short-term borrowings and needs funding flexibility to continue operations.
- **Grow U.S. domestic production** (medium-term) — Local production can reduce reliance on overseas supply chains and improve strategic positioning.

- Expand manufacturing capacity, including a second 2 GWh line in Huzhou
- Increase U.S. domestic battery production capability
- Refinance short-term borrowings to preserve liquidity
- Optimize operations and consider asset sales to strengthen cash flow
- Pursue new financing options, including equity and debt
- Broaden international sales beyond China and Asia-Pacific

## Risks

Microvast remains exposed to customer concentration, trade policy, and manufacturing/geopolitical risk because its revenue base is still narrow and its production center is in China. The company also has a history of liquidity pressure and refinancing dependence, so execution on cash generation and financing remains critical to avoid renewed going-concern concerns.

- **Customer concentration** [high] — A small number of customers can account for a large share of revenue in a quarter, making results volatile.
- **Trade policy and geopolitical friction** [high] — Manufacturing in China and sales across regions expose the company to tariffs, import/export controls, and sanctions risk.
- **Liquidity and refinancing risk** [critical] — The company has relied on short-term bank borrowings and ongoing refinancing to fund operations.
- **Demand execution risk in EV and ESS markets** [medium] — Orders depend on customer adoption, project timing, and capital spending cycles in electrification and storage.

- Customer concentration can swing quarterly revenue and margins
- China manufacturing creates tariff, export-control, and sourcing risk
- Liquidity risk remains tied to refinancing short-term borrowings
- Commercial EV and ESS demand can be cyclical and project-based
- Cross-border operations expose the company to regulatory and geopolitical shifts

## Accounting

Revenue is recognized from battery product sales, so shipment timing and customer acceptance can create quarter-to-quarter volatility. Investors should also watch estimates around going-concern, debt refinancing, and capitalized manufacturing/R&D assets, because these judgments can materially affect liquidity presentation, depreciation, and impairment risk.

- **Revenue recognition timing** — Quarterly revenue and gross margin
- **Going-concern and liquidity assumptions** — Balance sheet presentation and risk disclosure
- **Capitalized manufacturing and R&D assets** — Depreciation expense and asset carrying values

- Revenue timing depends on shipment and customer acceptance of battery systems
- Quarterly results can be volatile because large orders are lumpy
- Going-concern assessment depends on refinancing and cash generation
- Capital expenditures for manufacturing expansion affect depreciation and asset values
- Potential impairment risk exists if capacity or demand assumptions weaken
