Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading developer of RF-based charging for wireless power networks, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022, and provided an update on its operational, regulatory and partnership highlights.

Unaudited 2022 First-Quarter Financial Results

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, Energous reported:

  • Revenue of approximately $216,000, up significantly from approximately $145,000 in the 2021 first quarter
  • Costs and expenses of approximately $7.4 million (GAAP), with approximately $203,000 in cost of revenue, $3.5 million in research and development and $3.6 million in selling, general and administrative expenses
  • Net loss of $(7.2) million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share
  • Net non-GAAP loss of $(6.3) million
  • $42.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter, with no debt

Operational Highlights

  • Energous added three industry veterans to its board of advisors as the company focuses on powering the growing industrial and retail Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Bob Friday, Alessandro Piovaccari and Mark Tyndall were named to the company’s advisory board in May 2022.

Regulatory Approvals

  • Energous’ 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter technology was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in China for IoT applications. Energous’ WattUp PowerBridge supports multiple next-generation applications including smart tags, electronic shelf labels, sensors, asset trackers and more.
  • Energous’ 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter received regulatory approval from the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), Canada’s technology regulatory body, for RF-based power transfer at any distance.

Partnership Momentum

  • Energous and Atmosic Technologies, an innovator in energy harvesting wireless platforms for the IoT, released a Wirelessly-Charged Sensor Evaluation Kit featuring Atmosic’s ATM3 energy harvesting Bluetooth Low Energy System-on-Chip (SoC) solution and Energous’ FCC-certified 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitter.
  • Energous demonstrated its advanced wireless power network technology and interoperability with WattUp-powered partner products, including Wiliot, Juniper Networks, Atmosic Technologies, Syntiant and e-peas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) in Las Vegas, NV.
  • The company continued its partnership with Wiliot, a Sensing as a Service company and Internet of Things (IoT) technology innovator. Together, the companies have integrated Energous WattUp 1W active energy harvesting technology as a new and compelling option to power Wiliot’s IoT Pixel tags that are designed for retail, medical, industrial, warehousing, home and industrial automation.

“We delivered our first shipment of 1W WattUp PowerBridge transmitters in the 2021 fourth quarter and we are very pleased to report that in the 2022 first quarter, we fulfilled additional orders of WattUp PowerBridges,” said Cesar Johnston, CEO of Energous. “We also established new partner relationships with Atmosic Technologies, WiGL and Syntiant, as well as continued to expand the regulatory and geographic reach for our RF-based charging for wireless power networks, securing important regulatory approvals in China and Canada. Approval of our WattUp technology in these key geographies increases the global Energous ecosystem and opens up new design options such as cordless, batteryless and fully waterproof devices for IoT manufacturers.”
