Sono Group N.V. reported a Q3 2025 net loss of €1.4 million, a sharp improvement from the €0.812 million loss in Q2 2025 and a dramatic turnaround from the €9.5 million loss recorded in Q3 2024. Revenue for the quarter rose to €49 thousand, doubling the €25 thousand reported in Q2 2025 and representing a 1,800 % year‑over‑year increase from the €2 thousand of Q3 2024. The jump in revenue is largely attributable to the first commercial sales of the company’s solar‑integration solutions to commercial‑vehicle OEMs.
The revenue growth was driven by initial orders from MAN Truck & Bus and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Transport Europe GmbH, which are integrating Sono’s solar modules into buses, trucks, and refrigerated trailers. These OEM collaborations signal a shift from a technology‑development phase to a commercialization phase, as the company moves from prototype to production‑ready products.
Balance‑sheet improvements were a key focus of the quarter. Sono converted all outstanding convertible debentures into preferred equity, resulting in a positive shareholders’ equity balance as of September 30, 2025. The company also received a €250 k government grant to support development and deployment, and its ordinary shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “SSM” on September 5, 2025. The uplisting and debt conversion together provide greater capital‑market visibility and a stronger financial foundation for future growth.
CEO George O’Leary emphasized that the quarter marked a “transition to commercialization” and highlighted the company’s tighter operating focus. He noted that the Nasdaq uplisting would accelerate momentum by opening doors to institutional investors, while the OEM partnerships would generate repeatable revenue streams. O’Leary also acknowledged substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing low cash reserves and ongoing operating losses.
The company’s early‑stage revenue, while growing rapidly, remains modest in absolute terms, and cash runway is limited. The management team signals that securing additional funding and converting OEM collaborations into sustained revenue will be critical to sustaining operations. The broader market tailwind of increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the commercial‑vehicle sector is offset by headwinds such as a low cash position and the need to prove commercial viability of the solar‑integration technology.
