Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business

Solid Power, Inc. (the “Company”) is developing solid state battery technology to enable the next generation of batteries for the fast-growing EV and other markets. The Company’s planned business model is to sell its sulfide-based solid electrolyte and to license its solid-state cell designs and manufacturing process.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and are supplemented by the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 (this “Report”). The financial statements included in this Report (including the Notes) should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All dollar amounts presented herein are in U.S. dollars and are in thousands, except par value, share and per share amounts.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solid Power Operating, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements and additional practical expedient options. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the standards under Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method and elected a number of the practical expedients in its implementation of Topic 842. The key change that affected the Company relates to accounting for operating leases for which it is the lessee that were historically off-balance sheet.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022.

The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale marketable securities and evaluates the current expected credit losses by considering factors such as any changes in credit ratings, historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. Based on this analysis, any allowance for credit losses is immaterial and would be recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the asset.

The Company reviews its receivable aging on an individual customer level, considering collectability of cash flows based on the risk of past events, current conditions, and forward-looking information. The Company establishes allowances for bad debts equal to the estimable portions of accounts receivable for which failure to collect is expected to occur. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the related receivables. To date, the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.

In 2022, the Company expanded its cell production capabilities through the construction of a second dry room and installation of a second cell pilot production line at its Louisville, Colorado facility, which is designed to produce larger format solid-state battery cells for the automotive qualification process.

The Company expanded its electrolyte production at its facility in Thornton, Colorado. Scaling this production will allow it to produce larger quantities of electrolyte material required to feed cell-production lines and continue research and development efforts. The Company began producing electrolyte at this facility in 2023 and has placed portions of the facility into service.

The change in fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and long-term investments are included in other comprehensive loss. There were no transfers in and out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 or year ended December 31, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased $174,400 of marketable securities.

Fair Value of Warrants

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants (defined below) has been estimated using a Black-Scholes model as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. The fair value of the Public Warrants (defined below) has been measured based on the quoted price of such warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market, a Level 1 input. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is determined using Level 2 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Material increases (or decreases) in any of those inputs may result in a significantly higher (or lower) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of select peer

Table of Contents

companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants (defined below). The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates:


	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022

Stock Price	$	2.54		$	2.54
Volatility		70.0	%		71.3	%
Term		3.44			3.94
Risk-free rate		4.32	%		4.03	%

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Public Warrants measured at fair value using Level 1 directly observable inputs and Private Placement Warrants measured at fair value using Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs:

Note 6 – Warrant Liabilities

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 12,684,423 and 11,666,636 publicly traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 6,648,880 and 7,666,667 private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants,” and together with the Public Warrants, “Warrants”) outstanding, respectively. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Only whole Warrants are exercisable. The Warrants became exercisable on January 7, 2022 and will expire on December 8, 2026.

None of the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees.

The Warrants were initially measured at fair value upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated June 15, 2021 by and among the Company, DCRC Merger Sub, Inc., and Solid Power Operating, Inc., as amended, for $101,253 and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the units of common stock and one-third warrants in Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III’s initial public offering equal to their fair value. The Company recognized a gain in connection with

Note 8 – Stock Based Compensation

There have been no changes to our equity incentive plans, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or accounting methodology for stock based compensation, as disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

The fair value of stock options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) issued to employees and directors is recognized as compensation expense over the period of service that generally coincides with the vesting period of the award. The Company allocated compensation ratably across Operating Expenses. When calculating the amount of annual compensation expense, the Company has elected not to estimate forfeitures and instead accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized compensation costs totaling:

Note 9 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents net income (loss) attributable to common stock divided by the basic weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period.

Due to the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, diluted loss per share was computed without consideration to potentially dilutive instruments as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Due to the net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, diluted earnings per share was computed with consideration to potentially dilutive instruments. Warrants outstanding in 2023 and 2022 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Warrant’s exercise price for the period was greater than the average market price of the common stock.

The table below sets forth the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 10 – Leases

The Company leases its two facilities and certain equipment. Fixed rent generally escalates each year, and the Company is responsible for a portion of the landlords’ operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company’s facility in Louisville, Colorado, is under a noncancelable operating lease with a maturity date in September 2029. In 2022, the Company amended the lease to incorporate a prior subleased space into the base lease and extend the term of the lease. The Company has the right to renew this lease for an additional five-year period.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an industrial operating lease agreement for its facility in Thornton, Colorado, with the initial term through March 31, 2029. Under this operating lease, the Company has one option to renew for five years, which has been included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at the adoption date of the lease accounting standard on January 1, 2022, as the exercise of the option was reasonably certain. As the renewal rent has not been negotiated, the Company used an estimated rent rate which approximated the fair market rent at adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for the extension period.

The Company has certain equipment leases classified as finance leases as of June 30, 2023.

The Company’s leases do not have any contingent rent payments and do not contain residual value guarantees.

The components of lease expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2023

Overview

We are developing solid state battery technologies to enable the next generation of rechargeable batteries for the fast-growing EV and other markets.

Our core technology is our proprietary sulfide-based solid electrolyte material, which replaces the liquid or gel electrolyte used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. We believe that our electrolyte material can enable extended driving range, longer battery life, improved safety, and lower costs compared to conventional lithium-ion.

We also are designing and developing solid state cells that utilize our electrolyte in the cathode, anode, and separator layers. We currently produce 0.2 Ah, 2 Ah, 20 Ah, and EV cells on two pilot lines using established manufacturing processes.

We have partnered with industry leaders, including Ford, BMW, and SK On Co., Ltd. We are working closely with each of these partners to refine and validate our cell designs and electrolyte material with the ultimate goal to commercialize our technologies. Our business model – selling our electrolyte to cell manufacturers and licensing our cell designs and manufacturing processes – distinguishes us from many of our competitors who plan to be commercial battery manufacturers. Ultimately, we endeavor to be a leading producer and distributor of sulfide-based solid electrolyte material for powering both EVs and other applications. Since we do not intend to commercially produce battery cells, we expect to invest less than other development-stage battery companies that plan to commercially manufacture their own cell designs and construct battery production facilities.

The products we currently make are in the development stage and require continued development and validation before we can commercialize either our electrolyte or cell technology.

Recent Business Highlights

●

SP2 commenced electrolyte powder production in April, began scaling production, and is meeting internal performance and quality targets.

●

Continued execution on JDAs and extended JDA with Ford.

●

Received positive feedback from industry leaders on initial electrolyte powder sampling activities.

●

EV cell production increased and improved 20 Ah cell yields, keeping the company on track for 2023 delivery of A-sample EV cells to partners and delivery of EV cells to BMW for demo car program.

●

Second half of 2023 is focused on continuing electrolyte scaling and sampling, optimizing cell production processes, improving cell performance, and delivering cells to partners.

●

Appointed John Van Scoter as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We are a research and development-stage company and have not generated significant revenue through the sale of our electrolyte or licensing of our cell designs. Our ability to commercialize our products depends on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose material risks and challenges, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” appearing in this Report, which are incorporated by reference.

Prior to reaching commercialization, we must test and validate our products to ensure they meet the performance and safety requirements of our customers. We also will have to negotiate licensing and supply contracts with our customers on terms and conditions that are mutually acceptable. We will need to scale production of our electrolyte material to satisfy anticipated demand. All of these factors will take time and affect our operating results. Since many factors are difficult to quantify, our actual operating results may be different than we currently anticipate.

Our revenue generated to date has primarily come from research and development performance on government contracts and research and development licensing activities. We have deployed and are deploying substantial capital to expand our production

capabilities and engage in research and development programs. We also continue to incur significantly more administrative expenses as a publicly traded company.

In addition to meeting our development goals and reaching commercialization, future growth and demand for our products will be highly dependent upon market adoption of EVs. The market for new energy vehicles is still rapidly evolving due to emerging technologies, competitive pricing, government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors.

Basis of Presentation

We currently conduct our business through one operating segment. As a research and development company with no commercial operations, our activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States. Our historical results are reported under GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we expanded and accelerated our development efforts through increased capital and operational investments. We continued to invest in talent while expanding our facilities, production equipment, and capabilities. We expect to continue to increase our spending in all operational areas through the remainder of 2023 in order to execute our development strategy.

Table of Contents

The key factors driving our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, including our increased operating loss as compared to the corresponding periods in 2022, were as follows:

●

Revenue and direct costs – revenue and related direct costs from the execution of our JDAs drove the overall increase for the periods, while revenue and direct costs from performance on government contracts decreased slightly. We expect revenue and related direct costs to increase in the second half of 2023 as we execute on JDA deliverables and continue to provide samples to third parties and potential customers.

●

Research and development – our research and development costs increased for the periods primarily as a result of increased labor and material costs as we expanded the development efforts of our battery cells and electrolyte material. We expect our development costs to continue to increase as we continue to accelerate both the pace and scope of our development efforts.

●

Selling, general and administrative – our selling, general and administrative costs decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to reduced use of outside professional services and increased in the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to additional planned hiring, and workforce development and training, as we have increased our headcount to over 250 people, as well as enterprise resource planning system costs and implementation efforts.

●

Operating expenses – non-cash stock compensation costs for the periods increased across direct costs, research and development costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses related to our increased headcount.

●

Nonoperating income – our nonoperating income decreased for the periods primarily due to loss on fair value adjustment of warrant liabilities, partially offset by strategic cash investments in A-rated investments, which increased both our interest income and other income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Our sources of cash have historically been primarily derived from the sale of equity, with a small portion coming from performance on government contracts and commercial revenues.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total liquidity, as set forth below:


(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	28,439	$	50,123
Marketable securities		192,694		272,957
Long-term investments		222,255		172,974
Total liquidity	$	443,388	$	496,054

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

We anticipate that our most significant capital expenditures for the remainder of 2023 will relate to finishing construction of our electrolyte production and development facility. In addition, our short-term liquidity requirements include operating and capital expenses needed to further our technology development programs. We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements through our cash on hand and other liquid assets.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

We believe that our cash on hand is sufficient to meet our operating cash needs (including expenditures for the increased pace and scope of development as well as increased public company costs) and working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least the next 12 months and longer term until we generate adequate cash flows from licensing activities and/or electrolyte sales.

Table of Contents

We may, however, need additional cash if there are material changes to our business conditions or other developments, including changes to our operating plan, development progress, delays in negotiations with OEMs, cell manufacturers, or other suppliers, market adoption of EVs, supply chain challenges, competitive pressures, inflation, and regulatory developments. To the extent that our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. We also may opportunistically seek to enhance our liquidity through equity or debt financing, if such financing becomes available to us on terms that we consider favorable. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to take actions to reduce our capital or operating expenditures, which may adversely affect our development, business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(36,304)	$	(22,958)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	14,486	$	(189,158)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	134	$	272

Cash used in operating activities:

Cash used in operating activities increased from June 30, 2022 to 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to our operating loss, which was driven by continued increase in research and development costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. We continue to expect cash used in operating activities to increase as we accelerate both the pace and scope of our development efforts and work to achieve commercialization of our products. We continue to anticipate increased expenditures for research and development and selling, general and administrative functions to support growth of our development efforts. In addition, we expect to incur increased operating expenses in the second half of 2023 as we execute on BMW JDA deliverables.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities:

Cash provided by investing activities increased from June 30, 2022 to 2023 primarily due to the net effect of increased purchase and sales of marketable securities partially offset by increases in capital expenditures and patent investments. Capital expenditures were primarily for custom manufacturing equipment in connection with our expansion of electrolyte production capabilities. We expect cash used in investing activities to increase as we finalize the build out of our electrolyte production facility and increase its production capabilities, and as we increase our electrolyte production scale. Each of our locations will continue to require investment in specialized equipment to facilitate the manufacturing process of our electrolyte material and battery cells. As our production processes are scaled in the future, especially with respect to our electrolyte material, we expect capital expenditures to increase.

Cash flows provided by financing activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was primarily from the cash exercise of stock options and proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ESPP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Except as discussed in Note 2 of our unaudited financial statements included in this Report, there were no significant and material changes in our critical accounting policies and use of estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to those disclosed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our audited financial statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K for more information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired controls. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, prospects, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2022 Form 10-K and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Q1 Form 10-Q, as such descriptions may be updated or amended in future filings we make with the SEC. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our common stock and warrants, can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Q1 Form 10-Q.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All dollar amounts presented herein are in U.S. dollars and are in thousands, except par value, share and per share amounts. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solid Power Operating, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements and additional practical expedient options. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the standards under Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method and elected a number of the practical expedients in its implementation of Topic 842. The key change that affected the Company relates to accounting for operating leases for which it is the lessee that were historically off-balance sheet. Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale marketable securities and evaluates the current expected credit losses by considering factors such as any changes in credit ratings, historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. Based on this analysis, any allowance for credit losses is immaterial and would be recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. The Company reviews its receivable aging on an individual customer level, considering collectability of cash flows based on the risk of past events, current conditions, and forward-looking information. The Company establishes allowances for bad debts equal to the estimable portions of accounts receivable for which failure to collect is expected to occur. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the related receivables. To date, the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.
