Expion360 Reports Record Revenue for the
Second Quarter of 2022
REDMOND, OR / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2022 / Expion360, Inc. (NASDAQ:XPON), which is focused on the design, assembly, manufacturing and sales of lithium-ion phosphate batteries and supporting accessories for recreational vehicles and marine applications, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

| · | Gross profit increased 88% to $706,000. |

Management Commentary
"Our premium battery brand is considered a top choice for higher energy density, dependability, longevity and safety," commented
John Yozamp, CEO of Expion360. “They provide the ability to power anything, anywhere. During Q2, we continued to build the foundation
to become a large player in the lithium battery industry. By building on our advantages of superior capacity to lead-acid competitors
and the flexibility of our products allowing the battery to be used for various applications seamlessly, we continued to deliver strong
sales growth. We have significantly strengthened our distribution channels and expanded our customer base of dealers, wholesalers and
OEMs over the past year.
“Our Q2 losses are not indicative of future trends as we had many one-time costs associated with our IPO. As we grow, we expect to drive efficiencies and economies of scale that should improve margins further. We will be able to leverage our strong balance sheet and cash position to increase inventory and meet future requirements. As our brand continues to expand nationwide, we will introduce new battery applications for several large and growing markets. We are on track to meet or exceed our 2022 goals and are setting the stage for major expansion in the coming months as demand for our products continues to accelerate.”
