LION E-Mobility AG (LION; ISIN: CH0560888270), a manufacturer of battery packs for electric mobility and energy storage, announced preliminary results for the 2025 financial year, showing significant growth and a return to profitability. Total revenue reached EUR 28.3 million, a 68% increase from EUR 16.9 million in 2024. EBITDA improved to EUR 7.5 million from a loss of EUR -3.6 million, yielding an EBITDA margin of 26.4%. Net profit turned positive at EUR 3.0 million, compared to a net loss of EUR -6.6 million in the prior year.
The growth was primarily attributed to a recovery in market demand for batteries, with sales to bus manufacturers being a key revenue driver. The company also benefited from favorable procurement conditions and consistent cost and efficiency measures. Operating cash flow improved substantially to EUR 7.7 million, compared to EUR -6.5 million in 2024, underscoring the company’s sustainable turnaround. Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION E-Mobility AG, commented: 'We are very pleased with our strong and significant progress achieved throughout 2025. The substantial increase in revenue and the marked improvement in EBITDA reflect the recovery in market demand as well as the strength of our product portfolio and execution capabilities.'
In the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) segment, LION continues to expand its pipeline, including in Italy, following the successful sale of its first project. The company has strengthened its BESS sales team to meet growing demand. Additionally, LION has successfully delivered its new NMC+ battery pack prototypes to customers for testing, confirming market readiness and performance. The NMC+ pack offers a best-in-class gravimetric energy density of 53 kWh, establishing a new technological pillar for LION’s mobile market portfolio.
Looking ahead to 2026, LION expects continued growth with revenue above EUR 35 million and strongly positive EBITDA. However, in Q2 2026, battery pack production will be temporarily impacted by a planned two-month factory shutdown for conversion works, with operations resuming at the end of June. The new production lines will focus on high-performance NMC+ battery cells, shifting a significant portion of revenue to the second half of the year. Increasing demand in the BESS and defense sectors provides additional growth opportunities. LION is currently working on several defense-related inquiries, including a collaboration with Mandrill Engineering, where LION Smart’s battery technology powers an advanced unmanned ground vehicle.
