Forward Guidance
Amprius expects to be limited by manufacturing capacity until the new 2 MWh capacity comes online at the end of 2023. Increased revenue recognition is expected to be weighted towards the latter part of the year. G&A costs are anticipated to continue at the higher rate experienced exiting 2022. Higher capital expenditures are expected as the company builds out the 2 MWh capacity in Fremont and designs/constructs the gigawatt-hour scale facility in Brighton, Colorado.
Positive Outlook
- Strong support from the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is expected as Amprius accesses Production Tax Credits at the anode and cell levels.
- Over ten million dollars in state and local incentive packages have been received relating to the gigawatt-scale facility.

- Amprius is building the capacity to become a leading commercial provider in the sustainable mobility sector.
