Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Report, regarding our future financial performance, our plans related to the expansion of our electrolyte production capabilities, the receipt of U.S. Department of Energy funding, and the number of jobs to be created, and our strategy, expansion plans, market opportunity, future operations, future operating results, estimated revenues or losses, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. We caution you that the forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, we caution you that the forward-looking statements regarding the Company contained in this Report are subject to the following factors:

our ability to secure government contracts and grants and the availability of government subsidies and economic incentives;
delays in the construction and operation of additional facilities;
risks relating to other economic, business, or competitive factors in the United States and other jurisdictions, including supply chain interruptions and changes in market conditions, and our ability to manage these risks and uncertainties; and

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of GAAP and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at, and for, the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2023-09.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, or CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-07 must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions and impact this ASU will have when adopted for the year ended December 31, 2024 and anticipates that it may result in additional required disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Useful lives of intangible assets range from three to 20 years. Amortization expenses are allocated ratably across Operating Expenses based on Company personnel costs incurred.

Note 5 – Collaborative Arrangement

On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into the SK On Agreements. The Company determined the SK On Agreements should be combined and evaluated as a single contract. The SK On Agreements were determined to be a collaborative arrangement in accordance with ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements, and revenue recognition is recorded by analogy to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company determined the SK On Agreements represent a single, combined performance obligation. Collaborative revenue is recognized over time using the input measurement method utilizing incurred labor hours in relation to total labor hours anticipated to satisfy the combined performance obligation. The Company will expense contract fulfillment costs as incurred.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

The change in fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or year ended December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased $174,040 of marketable securities and investments.

Fair Value of Warrants

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes model as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Material increases (or decreases) in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher (or lower) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured based on the quoted price of such warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a Level 1 input.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates:

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

There have been no changes to our equity incentive plans, the ESPP, or our accounting methodology for stock-based compensation, as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

The fair value of stock options and RSUs issued to employees and directors is recognized as compensation expense over the period of service that generally coincides with the vesting period of the award. The Company allocated compensation ratably across Operating Expenses based on Company personnel costs incurred. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation costs totaling:

Note 10 – Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share represents net loss attributable to common stock divided by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted loss per share also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential shares of common stock issuable from stock-based awards determined using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share represents net earnings divided by diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock, which includes the average dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities that are outstanding during the period.

The table below sets forth the basic and diluted loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 11 – Leases

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment. Fixed rent escalates each year, and the Company is responsible for a portion of the landlords’ operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company’s facility in Louisville, Colorado, is under a noncancelable operating lease with a maturity date in December 2029. In 2022, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate a prior subleased space into the base lease and extend the term of the lease. In 2024, the Company amended this operating lease to lease additional space and further extend the term of the lease. The Company has the right to renew this operating lease for an additional five-year period.

15

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an industrial operating lease agreement for its facility in Thornton, Colorado, with the initial term through March 31, 2029. Under this operating lease, the Company has one option to renew for five years, which has been included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at the adoption date of the lease accounting standard on January 1, 2022, as the exercise of the option was reasonably certain. As the renewal rent has not been negotiated, the Company used an estimated rent rate which approximated the fair market rent at adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for the extension period.

The Company has certain equipment leases classified as finance leases as of September 30, 2024.

The Company’s leases do not have any contingent rent payments and do not contain residual value guarantees.

Overview

Solid Power is developing solid-state battery technology for the EV market and additional markets served by battery manufacturers.

17

Our core technology is a proprietary sulfide solid electrolyte material, which replaces the liquid or gel electrolyte used in traditional lithium-ion batteries. We believe that our electrolyte can improve driving range, battery life, safety performance, and battery costs.

Additionally, we are developing solid-state cells with our electrolyte, with the aim of commercializing our technology by selling electrolyte and licensing cell designs. This approach minimizes capital requirements, unlike other battery manufacturers who require significant cell production facilities and equipment. This strategy also allows us to focus on our core strengths of electrolyte production and solid-state technology development.

Currently, we produce electrolyte on pilot manufacturing lines. The electrolyte is used for cell development and customer sampling. We also develop cells on two pilot lines, producing multiple cell sizes to both support our partners and refine cell designs.

We have partnered with industry leaders BMW, Ford Motor Company, and SK On and will continue to work closely with our partners to improve cell designs, improve our electrolyte, and ultimately commercialize our technology. Our products are currently in the development stage and require further research and improvement before we can commercialize our technology.

Recent Business Highlights

Selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for up to $50 million award negotiation for continuous production of sulfide-based solid electrolyte materials for advanced all-solid-state batteries.
Commenced development activities in our electrolyte innovation center, or EIC, to enhance research and development capabilities and improve pre-pilot electrolyte manufacturing processes.
Achieved all milestones and fully received all payments expected in 2024 under the SK On Agreements. Line installation remains on track to be completed in mid-2025, following which validation activities are expected to commence.
Continued repeated electrolyte sampling to multiple customers and received constructive feedback, enabling electrolyte improvements.
Extended the BMW JDA and will continue to jointly develop cell technologies.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We are a research and development-stage company and have not generated significant revenue through the sale of our electrolyte or licensing of our cell designs. Our ability to commercialize our products depends on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose material risks and challenges, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” sections of this Report, which are incorporated by reference.

Prior to reaching commercialization, we must improve our products to ensure they meet the performance and safety requirements of our customers. We also will have to continue to negotiate licensing and supply contracts with our customers on terms and conditions that are mutually acceptable. To satisfy anticipated demand, we will need to scale production of our electrolyte. All of these will take time and affect our operating results. Since many factors are difficult to quantify, actual operating results may be different than currently anticipated.

Revenue generated to date has primarily come from performance on research and development licensing agreements and government contracts. We will need to continue to deploy substantial capital to expand our production capabilities and engage in research and development programs. We also expect to continue to incur significant administrative expenses as a publicly traded company.

In addition to meeting our development goals, commercialization and future growth and demand for our products are highly dependent upon consumers adopting EVs. The market for new energy vehicles is still rapidly evolving due to emerging technologies, competitive pricing, government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct our business through one operating segment. As a research and development company with no commercial operations, our activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States. Historical results are reported under GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we increased capital and operational investments centered on expanding our electrolyte capabilities and advancing our cell designs. Our capital investments included the addition of an EIC to improve and test electrolyte manufacturing processes. Our operational investments were focused on the strategic enhancement of our research and development workforce as well as efforts to improve electrolyte and cell performance. Through the remainder of 2024, we expect the trend of increased capital and operational investments to continue for our production capabilities, partnership development, and Korean operations as we execute our development strategy according to our current outlook.

The key factors driving results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the increased operating loss as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, were as follows:

Revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily due to timing of completion of BMW JDA milestones in 2024. Revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily as a result of the commencement of performance under the SK On Agreements. Revenue for 2024 is anticipated to increase, as compared to 2023, primarily due to timing and completion of milestones under the SK On Agreements and continued execution on the BMW JDA. 

19

Direct costs decreased for the periods, as compared to 2023, primarily due to the timing of labor and materials related to milestones within our agreements in conjunction with improved margins on our projects. Direct costs are anticipated to decrease for 2024, as compared to 2023, due to improved margins on our projects.
Research and development costs increased for the periods, as compared to 2023, primarily due to the development efforts focused on improving our electrolyte and continued advancement of our A-2 sample cell designs. We expect this trend to continue for the remainder of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the periods, as compared to 2023, primarily due to workforce development, transactional costs, and strengthening our presence in Korea. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase for 2024, as compared to 2023, due to the same factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

The sale of equity has historically been our primary source of cash, with a smaller portion of cash coming from performance milestones on our JDAs and government contracts.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had total liquidity, as set forth below:

As of September 30, 2024, contract receivables were $2.6 million, deferred revenue was $6.7 million, and total current liabilities were $20.3 million. As of December 31, 2023, contract receivables were $1.6 million, deferred revenue and deferred revenue from related parties was $0.8 million, and total current liabilities were $15.9 million.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

Short-term liquidity requirements include operating and capital expenses needed to further research and development programs and to further optimize pilot production lines and electrolyte manufacturing capabilities. We anticipate that our most significant capital expenditures for the remainder of 2024 will relate to enhancing the capabilities of our electrolyte production facility, including completion of an EIC that we expect to place fully in service by the end of 2024. We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements through our cash on hand and other liquid assets.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

We believe that our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our operating cash needs and working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least the next 12 months and longer term until adequate cash flows from licensing activities and/or electrolyte sales can be generated. We also believe that we have adequate cash on hand for our stock repurchase program should we choose to execute additional share repurchases.

However, we may require additional liquidity sources if there are material changes to our business conditions or other developments, including changes to our operating plan, development progress, or negotiations with OEMs, cell manufacturers, or other suppliers, market adoption of EVs, supply chain challenges, competitive pressures, inflation, and regulatory developments. To the extent that our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. We also may opportunistically seek to enhance our liquidity through equity or debt financing, if such financing becomes available on terms that we consider favorable. If financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are unfavorable, we may be forced to take actions to reduce our capital or operating expenditures, which may adversely affect our development, business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

20

Stock Repurchase Program

On January 23, 2024, we announced that our Board approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to purchase up to $50 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, we may purchase shares of our common stock from time to time until the repurchase program expires on December 31, 2025. The shares of common stock may be purchased on the open market, in unsolicited negotiated transactions, or in any manner that complies with the provisions of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Management’s decision to repurchase shares of common stock will depend on a number of factors, such as the price of the common stock, economic and market conditions, and corporate and regulatory requirements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $1.64 per share for an aggregate cost of approximately $8.36 million.

Cash used in operating activities:

Cash used in operating activities decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was largely attributable to increased depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of placing SP2 in service, increased deferred revenue as a result of receipt of payment related to a collaborative arrangement ahead of services provided, and decreased contract receivables as a result of receipt of payment from our collaborative arrangements associated with completion of milestones. This benefit was partially offset by increased operating losses, which were driven by a continued increase in research and development and selling, general and administrative costs.

Cash provided by investing activities:

Cash provided by investing activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to the net effect of proceeds from the sales of marketable securities and decreased capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities:

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was predominantly related to the effect of cash utilized for the stock repurchase program and withholding of employee taxes related to stock-based compensation. These payments were offset by proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock under the ESPP and exercise of stock options. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ESPP, partially offset by cash paid for withholding of employee taxes related to stock-based compensation and payments on finance lease liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no significant and material changes in our critical accounting policies and use of estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to those disclosed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of our unaudited financial statements included in this Report as well as Note 2 of our audited financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired controls. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024.

Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, prospects, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2023 Form 10-K. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our 2023 Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of GAAP and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at, and for, the periods presented. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2023-09.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Among other new disclosure requirements, ASU 2023-07 requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, or CODM.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

The change in fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or year ended December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased $174,040 of marketable securities and investments.

Fair Value of Warrants

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes model as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Material increases (or decreases) in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher (or lower) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The fair value of the Public Warrants has been measured based on the quoted price of such warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a Level 1 input.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates:

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

There have been no changes to our equity incentive plans, the ESPP, or our accounting methodology for stock-based compensation, as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

The fair value of stock options and RSUs issued to employees and directors is recognized as compensation expense over the period of service that generally coincides with the vesting period of the award. The Company allocated compensation ratably across Operating Expenses based on Company personnel costs incurred. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation costs totaling:

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Note 10 – Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share represents net loss attributable to common stock divided by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted loss per share also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential shares of common stock issuable from stock-based awards determined using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share represents net earnings divided by diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock, which includes the average dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive securities that are outstanding during the period.

The table below sets forth the basic and diluted loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Leases

Note 11 – Leases

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment. Fixed rent escalates each year, and the Company is responsible for a portion of the landlords’ operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company’s facility in Louisville, Colorado, is under a noncancelable operating lease with a maturity date in December 2029. In 2022, the Company amended this operating lease to incorporate a prior subleased space into the base lease and extend the term of the lease. In 2024, the Company amended this operating lease to lease additional space and further extend the term of the lease. The Company has the right to renew this operating lease for an additional five-year period.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an industrial operating lease agreement for its facility in Thornton, Colorado, with the initial term through March 31, 2029. Under this operating lease, the Company has one option to renew for five years, which has been included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at the adoption date of the lease accounting standard on January 1, 2022, as the exercise of the option was reasonably certain. As the renewal rent has not been negotiated, the Company used an estimated rent rate which approximated the fair market rent at adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for the extension period.

The Company has certain equipment leases classified as finance leases as of September 30, 2024.

The Company’s leases do not have any contingent rent payments and do not contain residual value guarantees.
