NeoVolta Launches U.S. Battery Manufacturing Platform

Transformational joint venture with PotisEdge and LONGi establishes domestic BESS manufacturing for utility-scale and C&I markets

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NeoVolta Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOV) (“NeoVolta” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based energy technology company delivering scalable energy storage solutions, today announced the formation of NeoVolta Power, LLC, a joint venture established to develop a U.S. battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing platform in Pendergrass, Georgia. The launch of domestic manufacturing capacity when complete will represent a transformational expansion of NeoVolta’s business model, positioning the Company to serve the utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) energy storage markets as a U.S. manufacturer.

The Georgia facility is designed for 2 GWh of initial annual production capacity, scalable to up to 8 GWh, and is expected to begin mass production in mid-2026. Located along the I-85 corridor, the facility will initially focus on prismatic-cell battery pack assembly and DC container integration, supporting approximately 89 production personnel at steady-state initial capacity.

This announcement marks a step-change in NeoVolta’s scale and strategic positioning. The Company believes the establishment of domestic BESS manufacturing capacity materially expands its addressable market, growth profile, and long-term relevance, and warrants a closer evaluation of NeoVolta’s opportunity set.

Illustrative Revenue Potential

Industry analyses, including from the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), indicate that utility-scale and C&I battery energy storage systems in active U.S. markets can generate approximately $200 per kilowatt-hour of installed capacity, depending on configuration and commercial structure.

At an illustrative level, 2 GWh of annual production at an average realized value of $200 per kilowatt-hour would represent approximately $400 million of annual revenue potential at full utilization. This illustrative example is not a forecast or projection and is provided solely to convey the scale of the opportunity. Actual results may differ materially based on product mix, customer contracts, pricing, capacity utilization, market conditions, and other factors.

This illustrative example is provided to highlight the order of magnitude of the opportunity associated with domestic BESS manufacturing and does not constitute financial or revenue guidance. Broader industry forecasts from sources including BloombergNEF, NREL, and Wood Mackenzie project the total U.S. battery energy storage TAM, spanning utility-scale, residential, C&I, and related services, to expand to approximately $45 billion annually by 2030. By establishing domestic manufacturing focused on utility-scale and C&I systems, NeoVolta Power positions the Company to address a significantly larger share of this rapidly growing market.

“This transformative joint venture with PotisEdge and LONGi represents a major step forward for NeoVolta, positioning us as a vertically integrated leader in the fast-growing energy storage sector. By launching domestic BESS manufacturing, we’re directly addressing surging demand in utility-scale and C&I markets, enabling scalable, reliable solutions for grid stability, peak load management, and high-growth applications,” said Ardes Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of NeoVolta.

NeoVolta holds a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture, NeoVolta Power, LLC, and will oversee product strategy, commercialization, and customer engagement. Governance is structured through a five-member board of managers, three of whom are appointed by NeoVolta. PotisEdge holds a 20% ownership interest and contributes deep expertise in large-scale BESS manufacturing, equipment installation, commissioning, and production ramp support. The remaining 20% is held by a group of strategic investors providing additional technical and operational support. Based on this ownership and governance structure, NeoVolta expects to consolidate the joint venture’s financial results in its consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP, with minority interests reflected as non-controlling interests, subject to final agreement terms and applicable accounting standards.

Strategic Manufacturing Platform

Initial production is expected to be weighted toward utility-scale systems, with C&I systems representing an increasing share as demand grows. The platform is designed to support multiple system configurations and product formats to meet evolving market requirements.

Strategic Partnership with Global Renewable Energy Leaders

The joint venture brings together three complementary energy technology leaders: NeoVolta, PotisEdge, and LONGi Green Energy.

PotisEdge, a globally recognized leader in BESS manufacturing and now part of LONGi Green Energy, holds a 20% ownership interest in the JV and contributes deep expertise in large-scale battery manufacturing, including equipment installation, commissioning, and production ramp support, based on proven systems deployed internationally.

LONGi, one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies and the global leader in solar manufacturing, is the majority owner of PotisEdge as part of its strategic expansion into energy storage. LONGi’s involvement reflects broader industry convergence across solar, storage, and integrated clean-energy solutions, and underscores the strategic relevance of the JV within the global renewable energy ecosystem.

Together, the three companies combine NeoVolta’s U.S. market leadership and product strategy, PotisEdge’s advanced BESS manufacturing systems, and LONGi’s global scale, execution discipline, and energy-transition vision, creating a domestic manufacturing platform designed for scale, quality, and long-term growth.

Partner Perspectives

“PotisEdge is proud to partner with NeoVolta in building a U.S. battery manufacturing platform designed for scale and long-term growth,” said Minjie, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of PotisEdge. “As a minority owner, we are contributing our manufacturing experience, systems, and technical capabilities to support efficient execution and a successful production ramp for utility-scale and C&I energy storage solutions.”

“LONGi’s strategic expansion into energy storage reflects our commitment to delivering integrated, scalable clean-energy solutions,” said Eric Luo, Group Vice President and President of North America at LONGi Green Energy. “By aligning PotisEdge’s technology leadership with NeoVolta’s U.S. market expertise, this joint venture brings together complementary strengths to serve the next phase of growth in renewable energy infrastructure.”

Financing and Capital Support

The formation and initial development of the joint venture are supported by capital commitments and phased funding aligned with manufacturing milestones. Funding is expected to be provided through a combination of equity and debt, anchored by Infinite Grid Capital.

NeoVolta announced a $13 million private placement in November 2025, anchored by Infinite Grid Capital, providing near-term capital to support initial JV funding requirements and general corporate purposes. As capacity ramps, the JV is structured to pursue project-level debt financing, incentive monetization, and other customary funding sources for U.S. manufacturing facilities, providing flexibility to support expansion beyond initial production levels.

Upcoming Milestones

Key anticipated milestones include:
• Execution of technical and management services agreements
• Acquisition and installation of manufacturing equipment
• Initial production ramp in mid-2026
• Planning for expansion beyond 2 GWh of annual capacity

NeoVolta expects to provide updates as these milestones are achieved.

About NeoVolta

2025 Achievements



Cemsidomide

  • Completed enrollment in the Phase 1 trial of cemsidomide and dexamethasone and presented data demonstrating that the two highest dose levels (75 µg and 100 µg) achieved a 40% and 53% ORR, respectively. This compelling anti-myeloma activity in a heavily pretreated patient population reinforces cemsidomide’s potential best-in-class profile.
  • Developed a regulatory path incorporating FDA feedback that positions cemsidomide to potentially receive two distinct accelerated approvals in (1) fourth line or later for cemsidomide and dexamethasone, and (2) second line or later for cemsidomide in combination with a BCMA BiTE.
  • Selected 100 µg dose for the MOMENTUM trial as the recommended Phase 2 dose after discussions with FDA.


CFT8919

  • Advanced the Phase 1 dose escalation trial in China with partner Betta Pharmaceuticals to generate data that will inform C4T’s next steps.


Internal Discovery Pipeline

  • Implemented new discovery strategy focused on developing degrader medicines for five novel targets that modulate three clinically validated pathways for inflammation, neuro-inflammation and neuro-degenerative diseases to potentially deliver new therapies with enhanced efficacy for patients with unmet needs. This strategy leverages C4T’s expertise in developing highly catalytic orally bioavailable degraders that penetrate the blood brain barrier to achieve high central nervous system exposures and compelling efficacy in central nervous system models as well as C4T’s ability to control targeted protein levels through finely tuned degrader kinetics.
  • Extended capabilities to identify molecular glue degraders for targets with and without G- and RT-loops by utilizing DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology.

About Cemsidomide

Cemsidomide is an investigational, orally bioavailable molecular glue degrader of IKZF1/3, transcription factors that drive multiple myeloma. Data from the Phase 1 trial, which has completed enrollment, show cemsidomide’s differentiated safety and tolerability profile and potentially class-leading anti-myeloma activity that support the potential for durable outcomes.

About the MOMENTUM Trial

MOMENTUM (Multi-center trial Of cemsidoMidE iN relapsed/refracTory mUltiple Myeloma) is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cemsidomide in combination with dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Data from the Phase 1 trial identified 100 µg as the recommended Phase 2 dose. The primary endpoint is overall response rate per International Myeloma Working Group response criteria, as assessed by an independent review committee. Approximately 100 patients who have received at least three prior anti-myeloma regimens that must have included an IKZF1/3 degrader, a proteasome inhibitor, an anti-CD38 antibody, and a T-cell engager or CAR-T therapy will be enrolled in the trial. More information is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT07284758).

About Cemsidomide in Combination With Elranatamab (ELREXFIO

®

)

The Phase 1b trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of cemsidomide in combination with elranatamab, an FDA-approved B-cell maturation antigen CD3 targeted bispecific antibody. The study will evaluate different cemsidomide dose levels (beginning with 75 µg, with the opportunity to simultaneously explore 50 µg and 100 µg) in patients who have received one to four prior lines of therapy, which must have consisted of at least one IKZF1/3 degrader. Exclusion criteria for patients include those who have received prior treatment with a BCMA-directed T-cell engager or BCMA-directed CAR-T therapy. More information is available at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT07280013).

About Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare blood cancer affecting plasma cells. Approximately 36,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with MM each year. Despite advances in treatment, MM remains incurable. Treatment combinations include IKZF1/3 degraders, which are established backbone therapies, across lines of therapy.

NUBURU Activates Global Defense Execution Platform Through Strategic Alliance With Tekne

NUBURU Activates Global Defense Execution Platform Through Strategic Alliance With Tekne

Executed Network Contract and Capital Alignment Unlock Multi-Region Programs and Revenue Visibility from 2026

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a global pioneer in high-performance blue laser technology, today announced a significant advancement in its strategic partnership with Tekne S.p.A. (“Tekne”), following the execution of (i) a comprehensive industrial and commercial Network Contract (contratto di rete) through NUBURU’s defense subsidiary Nuburu Defense LLC, (ii) a €13m shareholder convertible loan, and (iii) the completion of an initial 2.9% equity investment in Tekne.

These agreements represent the full operational and economic activation of the strategic framework previously disclosed in November and December 2025 and are expected to generate revenues for NUBURU beginning in fiscal year 2026, while positioning the Company toward its long-term objective of acquiring a controlling interest in Tekne, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

Collectively, these agreements mark NUBURU’s transition from strategic positioning to revenue-generating execution, establishing a global operating framework designed to deliver program-level defense and dual-use revenues beginning in 2026.

Immediate 2026 Revenue Visibility Through Executed Network Contract

The executed Network Contract establishes a structured, multi-jurisdictional industrial alliance covering the Americas, NATO countries, MENA, APAC, and Italy, and governs the joint execution of ad-hoc defense and dual-use projects with defined economics and revenue-sharing mechanisms.

Importantly, the revenue streams generated under the Network Contract are independent of NUBURU’s current equity ownership in Tekne and are instead linked to project execution, financial and operational support, go-to-market activities, and performance-based participation.

The Network Contract already identifies initial projects exceeding €10 million in contracted value, with deliveries and commercial execution scheduled throughout 2026, supporting NUBURU’s transition toward recurring and program-based defense revenues.

2026 Revenue Drivers (Program-Level Overview)

APAC – Bangladesh Program

Support for Tekne’s production and delivery of defense vehicles under an existing international contract. NUBURU participates through management fees, financial-support economics, and margin participation linked to production milestones.

NATO – Ukraine Program

Establishment of an operational and commercial platform for electronic-warfare systems and specialized vehicles, structured under joint-execution and profit-participation models.

MENA – UAE Pilot and Follow-On Programs

Demonstration, commercialization, and potential scale-up of Tekne platforms across the Gulf region, with NUBURU participating through production-linked margins and profit-sharing arrangements.

Americas – United States

Exclusive commercialization and distribution of Tekne products through Nuburu Defense, generating distribution economics and program-level participation.

Italy – Integrated Defense and Dual-Use Solutions

Joint offerings combining Tekne platforms with NUBURU’s UAV, advanced manufacturing, and operational-resilience technologies, possibly including software solutions delivered through Orbit S.r.l..

Management expects these program-level economics to scale over time through repeat orders, follow-on programs, and expanded regional adoption.

Strategic Alignment and Capital-Efficient Equity Participation

In parallel with the execution of the Network Contract, NUBURU has become a direct shareholder of Tekne, acquiring 2.9% of Tekne’s share capital as part of a broader strategic alignment between the two industrial partners. This equity participation was structured through the issuance of a subordinated, interest-free convertible instrument to Tekne’s current majority shareholder, rather than a cash payment, reflecting the industrial and long-term nature of the partnership. The conversion of such instrument, if and when permitted, is based on a fixed conversion price for NUBURU common stock of USD 0.25 per share, which underscores the alignment of interests and confidence in NUBURU’s long-term equity value.

Contextually with this equity acquisition, NUBURU also provided €13 million to Tekne in the form of a shareholder convertible loan, as previously disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings, to support Tekne’s industrial development and the execution of defense programs under the strategic alliance. Upon conversion of the shareholder convertible loan, subject to Italian Government Golden Power approvals (“Regulatory Approvals”), NUBURU’s ownership in Tekne would increase to approximately 27.9% (representing the aggregation of the initial 2.9% equity interest and an additional approximately 25% stake).

The transaction reflects an agreed equity valuation of Tekne of approximately USD 60 million, implying a consideration of approximately USD 1.74 million for the 2.9% equity interest. Together, the initial equity investment and the shareholder convertible loan establish the foundational ownership and operating framework to pursue a path toward a controlling interest in Tekne, consistent with the strategic objectives originally envisaged by the parties, while remaining subject to Regulatory Approvals and the potential involvement in Tekne of additional strategic and industrial partners.

Affirm updates underwriting with enhanced signals to better reflect consumers’ real-time finances

Affirm updates underwriting with enhanced signals to better reflect consumers’ real-time finances

Real-time balance and cash flow insights give Affirm an even more complete view of someone’s financial standing at checkout

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Real life moves fast — and people’s finances can change just as quickly. Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM) is updating its underwriting to reflect that reality. Building on its longstanding approach of underwriting every transaction, Affirm’s latest underwriting now incorporates richer real-time signals like account balances and cash flow trends. These insights give Affirm an even clearer, more current view of someone’s financial standing at checkout, leading to more informed and responsible credit decisions.

These enhanced signals are already helping Affirm Card users who’ve linked a third-party bank account or have an Affirm Money Account. This capability will soon expand to more consumers who choose to link their bank account with Affirm.

Consumers apply each time they want to use Affirm, and Affirm makes a real-time credit decision based on their financial situation at that precise moment. In doing so, its underwriting models consider the consumer’s purchase, credit history, and past payment performance with Affirm. Adding up-to-the-minute signals brings even more context to this underwriting process, giving Affirm a more complete picture of a consumer’s finances at the moment they want to buy.

“Many credit cards approve consumers once at the moment of application. But people’s financial lives change — new jobs, lost jobs, raises, and everything in between,” said Vishal Kapoor, Affirm’s SVP of Product. “Affirm was built differently: to adapt to life as it happens. Adding this new layer of insight builds on our real-time approach, helping ensure our decisions align with the reality of consumers’ finances today.”

Because this real-time information adds nuance and context to Affirm’s decision-making, it also enables Affirm to responsibly reach more consumers — especially those whose credit history is limited or doesn’t fully reflect their current situation. It can also unlock more spending power for consumers: early results show that when purchasing power rises, the average lift is about 12%.

“Our goal is to make decisions that reflect real people, not just numbers on a report,” Kapoor added. “People’s financial lives are dynamic, and they deserve credit that evolves with them.”

About Affirm

Affirm’s mission is to deliver honest financial products that improve lives. By building a new kind of payment network – one based on trust, transparency and putting people first – we empower millions of consumers to spend and save responsibly, and give thousands of businesses the tools to fuel growth. Unlike most credit cards and other pay-over-time options, we never charge any late or hidden fees. Follow Affirm on social media: LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | X
