  • The company is partnering with Wiliot, a Sensing as a Service company and Internet of Things (IoT) technology innovator whose stamp-sized computer is changing the relationship between manufacturers, logistics and retailers with their customers.
  • Energous released its 1W Active Energy Harvesting Developer Kit that can charge multiple devices simultaneously, enabling at-a-distance wireless charging for the growing IoT ecosystem. This new developers kit is now available to developers.
  • The company is partnering with TAGnology RFID GmbH, a provider of wireless technology, contactless identification and RTLS (real time location system) solutions – TAGnology will work as an industrial design house for Energous customers, helping to implement wireless power solutions, proofs of concept (PoCs), and manage development projects.
  • Energous was recognized with Two CES 2022 Innovation Awards: Embedded Technology; and, Sustainability, Eco-Design & Smart Home.

“Through these two new key partnerships and with this important regulatory approval, we are making meaningful progress advancing active energy harvesting technology,” said Cesar Johnston, acting CEO of Energous. “Our focus is on supporting the increasing power needs for the expanding world of IoT and beyond, while removing the cumbersome power cables and eliminating the need for costly replaceable batteries. Our WattUp active energy harvesting technology provides developers an immediately available and approved, 1-watt wireless charging solution to cost effectively and efficiently deploy IoT sensors, low-power CPUs and other devices.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may describe our future plans and expectations and are based on the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Energous. These statements generally use terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or similar terms. Examples of forward-looking statements in this release include but are not limited to statements about our financial results and projections, the success of our collaborations with our partners or statements about any governmental approvals we may need to operate our business, and statements with respect to expected functionality and company growth. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from what we expect include: uncertain timing of necessary regulatory approvals; timing of customer product development and market success of customer products; our dependence on distribution partners; and intense industry competition. We urge you to consider those factors, and the other risks and uncertainties described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as well as in other documents that may be subsequently filed by Energous, from time to time, with the SEC, in evaluating our forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent Energous’ views only as of the date of this release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date. Energous does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements unless required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net loss. Non-GAAP net loss excludes stock-based compensation expense, severance expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and deferred revenue adjustments. Reconciliation tables are provided in this press release.

We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain, out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, such as the difficulties of estimating certain items such as charges to stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
