Paris, January 23, 2025 – 7:30 am CET – Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSE), the expert in smart battery systems for commercial and industrial electric vehicles, today announces its annual revenues for the year ending December 31, 2024, data under audit.

Christophe Gurtner, Founder & CEO of Forsee Power, states: “After two years of very strong growth, the market slowed down in 2024. Forsee Power continued to diversify its customer portfolio with international players to compensate for the drop-in activity with one of our historic customers and delivered excellent performance with the achievement of a turnover of more than 150 million euros and a positive adjusted EBITDA. We therefore approach 2025 with confidence and intend to resume our growth trajectory while continuing to improve our profitability profile.”

Forsee Power recorded sales of €38.3 million in Q4 2024, compared to €44.7 million in Q4 2023 and an increase compared to Q3 2024 (€28.7 million), showing a resumption of growth.

For the full year 2024, sales amounted to €151.8 million, compared to €171.3 million recorded in 2023. The heavy vehicle segment remains predominant with revenues of €135.5 million while the light vehicle segment reached €16.2 million. The gradual end of activity with the Company’s historic customer (Iveco) was offset by the gain of new customers, however the very sharp drop in the price of cells led to a reduction in annual turnover.

Forsee Power recorded sales of €37.6 million in Q4 2024, down 17.3% compared to €45.5 million in Q4 2023. The heavy vehicles segment contributed €32.7 million, a 16% decrease from €39.0 million in the same period last year. Light vehicle sales contracted by 25.1%, reaching €4.9 million compared to €6.5 million in Q4 2023.

Overall, Forsee Power’s batteries now equip over 4,200 buses and more than 145,000 light vehicles worldwide.

Strategy and outlook

In the coming quarters, Forsee Power aims to return to a growth dynamic by focusing on its priority markets in Europe, Asia, and the United States, where the Group has strengthened its industrial capacity with the recent opening of its production site in Columbus, Ohio. This state-of-the-art site addresses growing demand in the North American market while meeting “Buy America” standards and enhancing local industrial capacity.

The 2025 fiscal year is expected to mark a revival in Forsee Power’s commercial momentum, supported by strategic opportunities in priority markets in the heavy vehicle segment (buses, trucks, off-highway, rail) where margins are the highest.
