Solid Power Reports Full Year 2025 ResultsFebruary 24, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
Solid Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDP), a leading developer of solid-state battery technology, today announced its operational and financial results for the full year 2025 and provided its outlook and objectives for 2026.
Recent Business Highlights
Announced a Joint Evaluation Agreement with Samsung SDI and BMW to progress the development of all-solid-state batteries, marking meaningful progress on our path towards commercialization and validating our electrolyte sampling efforts.
Conducted detailed design for a continuous electrolyte production pilot line, which we expect to install and commission by the end of 2026.
Executed on our line installation agreement with SK On, completing factory acceptance testing and nearing completion of site acceptance testing at SK On’s facility.
Advanced electrolyte innovation and performance by leveraging internal feedback and customer input to drive expected improvements.
Remained fiscally disciplined, with 2025 cash investment coming in at the lower end of our expected range of $85 million to $95 million, and raised net proceeds of $89.4 million through sales of common stock under an at-the-market (ATM) offering program.
"2025 was a year of strong progress for Solid Power," said John Van Scoter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solid Power. "We advanced our electrolyte technology and executed on our roadmap toward scalable production. We made encouraging progress with our partners on multiple fronts, ranging from BMW’s introduction of an i7 test vehicle featuring our cells and solid-state battery technology to our progress installing a pilot cell manufacturing line at SK On’s facility.”
2025 Financial Highlights
Solid Power delivered $21.7 million in revenue during 2025, an increase of $1.6 million compared to 2024. The increase was driven primarily by work performed under our line installation agreement with SK On.
Operating expenses were $122.6 million in 2025 compared to $125.5 million in 2024 driven by research and development costs and equipment purchases and services performed in support of the SK On agreements. 2025 operating loss was $100.8 million, and 2025 net loss was $93.4 million, or $0.51 per share.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Solid Power’s liquidity position remains strong. Total liquidity as of December 31, 2025, was $336.5 million, an increase of $9.0 million compared to December 31, 2024, as shown below.

Solid Power Partners with Samsung SDI and BMW to Advance All-Solid-State Battery Technology
Oct 30, 2025 4:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Strategic Collaboration to Develop Next-Generation Batteries
Solid Power Announces a Joint Evaluation Agreement with Samsung SDI and BMW Group
LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solid Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDP), a leading U.S.-based developer of solid-state battery technology, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with Samsung SDI and BMW to pursue development and validation of a demonstration vehicle powered by all-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology.
“We are excited to partner with Samsung SDI and BMW to progress the development of all-solid-state batteries,” said John Van Scoter, President and CEO of Solid Power.
Share
This collaboration marks a key step towards commercialization of ASSB technology, bringing together the complementary expertise of three industry leaders. Under this arrangement, Solid Power will provide sulfide-based solid electrolyte to Samsung SDI, which Samsung SDI will integrate into separator and/or catholyte and use to build cells, in each case subject to achievement of technical requirements. These cells will be evaluated based on performance parameters and requirements to be agreed between Samsung SDI and BMW. Ultimately, Solid Power, Samsung SDI, and BMW aim to develop and supply ASSB cells for integration into a demonstration vehicle.
“We are excited to partner with Samsung SDI and BMW to progress the development of all-solid-state batteries,” said John Van Scoter, President and CEO of Solid Power. “Our solid electrolyte technology is designed for stability and conductivity, and by working closely with global leaders in automotive and battery innovation, we strive to bring ASSB technology closer to widespread adoption.”
Martin Schuster, Vice President Battery Cell and Cell Module at the BMW Group, says: “With Samsung SDI joining our partnership with Solid Power, we gain significant momentum on our path advancing the development of new battery cell technologies. This global collaboration is another proof point of our overarching goal: to be always in a position to offer our customers state of the art battery technology.”
All-solid-state battery cells have the potential to offer improved energy density, battery life, and safety performance by replacing liquid electrolytes with solid materials. "Technological competitiveness in batteries would ultimately lead to innovation in electric vehicles," said Stella Joo-Young Go, Executive Vice President of ASB Commercialization Team at Samsung SDI. "Samsung SDI will work closely with strategic partners such as BMW and Solid Power to take the lead in commercialization of ASSB.”
The collaboration amongst these parties supports Solid Power’s objective to manufacture and sell electrolyte to Tier 1 battery manufacturers and automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
