ESS Tech Inc reported its Q1 2026 results on May 7. The report showed the company generated $128,000 in revenue, compared with $0.6 million in the same period the prior year. The management said the revenue decline was due to the company delivering fewer equipment to customers compared to the prior-year period.
However, ESS Tech’s net loss narrowed to $15.9 million from $18 million in the prior-year period. Moreover, the company’s financial position improved, with the management revealing $21.5 million in total liquidity.
Looking ahead, ESS Tech CEO Kate Suhadolnik said the focus remains on expense control and financial flexibility to support the company’s operational and commercial priorities.
