Exhibit 99.1

Letter to Our Shareholders

Fellow Shareholders,

I am very pleased to announce that in the first quarter of 2023, we exceeded our expectations in four critical areas: First, we produced 12,500 full‑qual units, which beat our plan of 9,000 units, and was 2.8x over our 4,442‑unit production last quarter. This progress was enabled by across‑the‑board improvements in yield and productivity in Fab 1. Second, on March 9, we presented a rigorous Equipment Procurement Review‑Process Control Review to a special committee of manufacturing experts on our Board – and received permission to launch the fabrication of our 1,350 unit‑per‑hour Gen 2 Autoline design – six days ahead of our plan. Third, we now have a Fab 2 building and over 25 employees in Penang, Malaysia, and are in the process of closing local funding for our first Gen 2 Autoline for Fab 2. And, fourth, although just after quarter end, we closed a $172.5 million convertible debenture to fund Gen 2 Autolines 2, 3 and 4 in our new Enovix Malaysia Fab 2 plant. The convertible debenture was well received and created minimal 7% dilution.

The Gen 2 Autoline will enable us to achieve an over 10x throughput improvement over the current Fremont Line 1, as detailed in a video featuring Gen 2 manufacturing steps narrated by our Chief Operating Officer, Ajay Marathe.

In March, we signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with YBS International Berhad (YBS) to locate our first Gen 2 Autoline in an existing YBS building at the Penang Science Park in Malaysia. This second manufacturing facility will allow us to scale production in proximity to customer assembly, suppliers, and a deep pool of manufacturing talent. Penang Island in Malaysia is the epicenter of assembly and test for the semiconductor industry. In addition, the LOI calls for YBS to work with local banks and government authorities to secure non-dilutive financing to fund Gen 2 Line 1 and we are seeking at least $70 million.

At 200,000 square feet, the new Malaysian Fab 2 building has enough space to accommodate four production lines that will be capable of manufacturing between 38 million to 75 million batteries a year, depending on battery size (one cell phone battery equals approximately two wearable batteries).

Manufacturing. We are setting up the infrastructure for high-volume manufacturing in Malaysia. During the quarter we established Enovix Malaysia Sendirian Berhad (Enovix Malaysia) and hired a seasoned executive, Loganathan Muniandy, as the VP of Operations for Enovix Malaysia, who has experience at Fairchild, Solectron, ASE and ran a 4,000‑person Malaysian Lumileds plant that produced LED flash modules for multiple leading smartphone OEMs over multiple generations. We’ve also hired the Director of HR and 25 engineers, with start dates beginning May 2, 2023, to begin preparation for equipment delivery.

Commercialization. We continued to make customer qualification progress during Q1 2023, having now sampled 106 customers as of quarter-end. The bottom slice of our funnel, “Active Designs and Design Wins”, increased QoQ to $718 million from $669 million in Q4 2022.

Our go-to-market strategy this year and through most of 2024 will be to launch standard-size small and large cells into the IoT market. This market includes many applications that need higher battery capacity such as smartwatches, medical monitoring devices, connected industrial devices, and mixed reality headsets. In the quarter, we began shipping full-qual samples of our large cell. This included shipping the first cells to customers incorporating our revolutionary safety technology, BrakeFlowTM, which we are targeting for production on the Gen 2 Autoline in Malaysia in 2024.

This was also the first quarter in which the company shipped simplified single-cell wearable battery packs to customers who want a fully tested complete battery solution for a faster time to market. Battery packs are a complete tested battery system solution that feature packaging and electronics to control charging and safe discharging. Multi‑battery packs also contain a protective racking system and heating and cooling capability.

Finally, to serve high-volume customers, who often demand custom packaging, we accelerated into this year the delivery of our highly flexible Gen 2 “Agility Line,” a lower throughput Gen 2 line designed for quick battery size changeover.

Technology and Products. One task I personally watch over is the transformation of Enovix into a product‑centric, customer‑driven organization. To lead that effort, we hired a new Vice President of Product

Management, Samira Naraghi, who joined us after leading product and go-to-market teams at Meta, Amazon Web Services and Qualcomm. We expect the product organization to help us gain a deeper understanding of customer specifications and other requirements.

R&D. Every one of our five major R&D projects remained exactly on schedule for the first quarter, the first time this has happened in several years. We credit this accomplishment to the new R&D management team and its improved business processes, which include increased autonomy for our five project managers. Our top five projects cover everything from large cell development to higher energy density to manufacturing simplicity to BrakeFlowTM.

Financials. First quarter total revenue was $21,000 which consisted entirely of product revenue from shipping 3,000 new qual samples, which for the first time, fulfills our sample backlog, at least for wearables.

Our non-GAAP cost of revenue of $11.3 million in Q1 2023 was up from $9.6 million in Q4 2022, while Non-GAAP Q1 2023 operating expenses of $22.8 million were down from $23.5 million in Q4 2022.

Our first quarter GAAP loss of $73.6 million was driven by 1) stock-based compensation expenses of $29.2 million, up from $8.3 million in Q4 2022, due to one-time charges associated with recent management changes and 2) a $12.8 million loss from the quarterly change in the fair value of our private placement warrant liability. On a non-GAAP basis, our first quarter net loss was $31.6 million or a fully diluted loss of $0.20 per share.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $28.0 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.0 million in Q4 2022. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the change in fair value of our private placement warrant liability, stock-based compensation, and other non-recurring items.

A full reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results is available later in this letter.

On a pro forma basis we now have over $440 million in cash, not counting the $70 million Malaysian funding in negotiation. This includes the $293.8 million of cash on our balance sheet at the end of the quarter plus an estimated $148.4 million of net proceeds from the convertible debenture offering we closed on April 20. In the first quarter, cash from operations was a loss of $25.6 million, and capital expenditures were $3.0 million.

Outlook

For full-year 2023, we continue to expect to produce 180,000 cells for customers from Fab-1 to support broad qualification activities and customer products. In the second quarter, we forecast production of 18,000 units based on a continuation of the improvements made in the first quarter.

For full-year 2023, we continue to forecast spending $120 million of cash on capital expenditures and $120 million of cash operationally.

Summary

In Q1 2023 we made considerable progress on our journey to scale. Fab 1 produced 12,500 units and greatly improved its metrics across the board. We released the fabrication of our Gen 2 Autoline, which will begin to arrive in Malaysia in November. We are moving quickly on high‑quality staffing for Fab 2 in Malaysia, with 27 hires, including an experienced VP of Operations. All our R&D programs are on track to drive new products, product enhancements, or to support manufacturing.

Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO

Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA

While we prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we also utilize and present certain financial measures that are not based on GAAP. We refer to these financial measures as “Non-GAAP” financial measures. In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures in evaluating its financial and operational performance distinct and apart from financing costs, certain non-cash expenses and non-operational expenses.

These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. We endeavor to compensate for the limitation of the Non-GAAP financial measures presented by also providing the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

We use Non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning, budgeting and forecasting purposes. We believe that Non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing its operating performance and comparing its performance with competitors and other comparable companies. You should review the reconciliations below but not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

“EBITDA” is defined as earnings (net loss) adjusted for interest expense; income taxes; depreciation expense, and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” includes additional adjustments to EBITDA such as stock-based compensation expense; change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrants, common stock warrants and convertible promissory notes; impairment of equipment and other special items as determined by management which it does not believe to be indicative of its underlying business trends.

Below is a reconciliation of net loss on a GAAP basis to the Non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures for the periods presented below (in thousands):

Change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants	12,840		(67,800)




Adjusted EBITDA	$	(28,008)	$	(19,407)

Free Cash Flow

We define “Free Cash Flow” as (i) net cash from operating activities less (ii) capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment, all of which are derived from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that this financial measure is useful to investors because it provides investors to view our performance using the same tool that we use to gauge our progress in achieving our goals and it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. Below is a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities to the Free Cash Flow financial measures for the periods presented below (in thousands):

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and other non-GAAP measures are intended as supplemental financial measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the use of Non-GAAP measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results, trends, and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar Non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

However, you should be aware that when evaluating the non-GAAP measures, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our computation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and other Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate the Non-GAAP measures in the same fashion.
