Solidion Technology Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

DALLAS, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Solidion Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: STI), an advanced silicon anode and battery technology materials provider (the “Company” or “Solidion”), today announced its operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Previously Announced Recent Business Highlights   

Technological Advancements:

• Developed and secured a newly granted U.S. patent for technology enabling 5-minute charging of lithium batteries across all climates, overcoming a key barrier to electric vehicle (“EV”) adoption by ensuring fast, safe, and weather-independent charging. This innovation leverages a graphene-based heat spreader for optimal battery temperature control, positioning Solidion as a leader in advancing EV infrastructure and addressing consumer range anxiety.
• Expansion of the Company’s industry-leading intellectual property portfolio¹ with 20 new U.S. patents granted this year. The portfolio offers patents for a diverse range of advanced anode materials, spanning from sustainable graphite to silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon (Si), and protected lithium metal anode, delivering specific capacities ranging from 300 to an extraordinary 3,500+ mAh/g (milliamp-hour per gram). The intellectual property also features non-silane gas based and graphene-enhanced versions for automakers and other energy storage applications.
• Achieved third-party validation for the Company’s innovative, cost-effective process that eliminates the need for toxic silane gas and CVD techniques. This milestone positions Solidion to become a key North American supplier in the rapidly growing energy storage battery market, offering materials that enhance energy density, and seamlessly integrate with existing battery manufacturing processes.

Business Development and Corporate Updates:

• Signing of the strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Bluestar Materials Company on November 8, 2024 to accelerate the commercialization of Solidion’s groundbreaking silicon-based anode technology. This collaboration strengthens Solidion’s position in the U.S. market, leveraging its extensive patent portfolio to drive advancements in battery efficiency, energy density, and domestic manufacturing opportunities.
• Bitcoin purchases are now part of the Company’s corporate treasury strategy, which includes allocating 60% of excess cash reserves, interest earnings, and a portion of future capital raises, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value, inflation hedge and compelling investment. The Company will continue to explore opportunities to evolve its allocation to Bitcoin and enhance shareholder value.
• The inclusion into the Russell 3000® Index, enhancing Solidion’s visibility among institutional investors and positions the Company to attract broader market interest and capital.

CEO Statement:

“Solidion is well positioned for the rapidly changing political landscape as a low-cost U.S. manufacturer,” said Jaymes Winters, CEO of Solidion Technology.  “We have achieved several milestones that several competitors have yet to achieve, despite spending exponentially more than Solidion”.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• $4.2 million loss from continuing operations, including increased spending on third-party validation testing for automakers.
• Net Loss of $6,636,679, with EPS of –$0.07, including a non-cash loss of $9,654,799 on issuance of PIPE common stock and warrants.

Summary of Statements of Operations

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $2,753,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by third party validation testing of our proprietary silicon anode, professional fees, stock-based compensation, insurance, and other administrative costs associated with the Company operating as a public entity as of February 2, 2024.

Other Income (expense)

Other expense increased by $2,444,764 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was largely driven by a gain of $7,232,835 due to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities related to the Forward Purchase Agreement, and warrants related to the Private Placement financing. Additionally, there was a loss of $9,654,799 from the issuance of common stock and warrants related to the August Private Placement financing.
