AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideal Power Inc. (NASDAQ:IPWR) ("Ideal Power," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), developer and innovative provider of the highly efficient and broadly patented B-TRAN® bidirectional semiconductor power switch, reports results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"Our first design win customer is nearing completion of their B-TRAN®-enabled solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) prototype testing. Following their initial product rollout later this year, we anticipate this OEM will expand its offerings to include a suite of B-TRAN®-enabled SSCBs with a wide range of power ratings, presenting us with a significant revenue growth opportunity. Furthermore, we are now collaborating with our fourth and fifth global Tier 1 automotive suppliers as the automotive industry looks for low-loss, solid-state solutions for electric vehicle (EV) contactors. In addition, we're thrilled that Stellantis has internally approved a purchase order for custom development and packaged B-TRAN® devices targeting multiple electric vehicle applications. This strategic win will enable multiple uses of B-TRAN® across Stellantis' EV platforms," stated Dan Brdar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power.

Key Second Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights

Execution to our B-TRAN® commercial roadmap continues, including:

Shipped updated solid-state circuit breaker prototypes with additional capabilities to our first design win customer. The customer is nearing completion of their SSCB prototype testing and is about to start gathering feedback on this new product from their end customers ahead of the B-TRAN®-enabled product launch later this year.
Entered into a collaboration with a fourth global Tier 1 automotive supplier. We anticipate they will begin evaluating B-TRAN® in the near term and our understanding is that they plan to launch a formal solid-state EV contactor program within the next few months.
Secured order from a fifth global Tier 1 automotive supplier for several B-TRAN®-enabled devices. The customer will evaluate these devices as part of their innovative solid-state EV contactor design implementation.
Stellantis' order for custom development and packaged devices targeting multiple EV applications was approved internally with Ideal Power's receipt pending. We remain actively engaged with Stellantis, meeting regularly with them and their program partners on both EV contactor and drivetrain inverter programs and collaborating with them on automotive qualification and related requirements.
Added partnership with Kaimei Electronic Corp. to distribute Ideal Power's products to their existing and prospective customers throughout Asia, alongside their own product portfolio. Asia is the world's largest market for power electronics, and Asian companies typically adopt new technologies faster than their European and U.S. counterparts.
Shipped SSCB reference designs to several large companies currently evaluating our technology for SSCB or EV contactor applications. This includes two previously announced Forbes Global 500 power management market leaders, as well as our fourth and fifth global Tier 1 automotive suppliers.
B-TRAN® Patent Estate: Currently at 96 issued B-TRAN® patents with 47 of those issued outside of the United States and 74 pending B-TRAN® patents. Current geographic coverage includes North America, China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, and Europe.
