Did MVST Beat Earnings? Q3 2024 Results
Microvast Holdings posted a strong third quarter for 2024, beating revenue estimates and swinging to profitability as the battery technology company's European expansion paid off in a meaningful way. Revenue came in at $101.39 million, ahead of the $99.70 million consensus and up 26.6% year over year, while earnings per share of $0.05 cleared the $0.00 analyst estimate, reflecting a GAAP net income of $13.25 million compared to a net loss of $26.17 million in Q3 2023. The single biggest driver was EMEA, which contributed $59.48 million, or roughly 59% of total quarterly revenue, on the back of surging demand for the company's HpCO-53.5Ah cells and broadening OEM adoption. Gross margin expanded 10.9 percentage points year over year to 33.2%, amplifying the top-line gains into substantial bottom-line improvement. Looking ahead, management guided Q4 2024 revenue to a range of $90 million to $95 million, targeting full-year growth of 15% to 18%, with gross margins expected to hold in the 25% to 30% range.
