“Blink
achieved record first quarter revenues of $38 million with gross margin of 36%. Our performance outpaced the industry, demonstrating
Blink’s growing leadership role in the EV infrastructure market. Importantly, our progress demonstrates the ongoing success of
our strategic initiatives to leverage vertical integration capabilities and increased scale, while optimizing operations for continuous
improvement across all levels of our organization.
“We
have been focused on structurally adjusting our operations to position Blink to continue winning business and also to adjust our ongoing
operating expenses so that, if needed, we can respond effectively to longer-than-anticipated changes in market conditions. It is encouraging
to see that our vertical integration strategy is yielding results and making Blink more resilient, with production of our ‘Buy-American’
chargers well underway at our Maryland manufacturing facility. Additionally, we are constructing components and global chargers at our
facility in India, with the in-sourcing of these manufacturing lines positively impacting product quality and reducing operational costs.
As we started to move through the second quarter, we have seen lower bookings in April. That said, we have multiple opportunities in
our pipeline and expect additional opportunities due to several companies pulling back or exiting the charging space. Therefore, we are
maintaining our 2024 revenue target of between $165 and $175 million. We regularly review our pipeline and will provide an update, if
necessary, in the future.”
“As
previously mentioned, we are continuing to consolidate several facilities within the U.S., and our corporate global headquarters are
now located in the D.C. area, giving us proximity to decision-makers funding the expansion of our nation’s EV charging infrastructure.
With the increasing number of EVs on the roads, it’s evident that current U.S. charging infrastructure is poised to expand, and
Blink is actively promoting our capabilities as a partner of choice in the build-out of reliable and accessible EV charging. We believe
our flexible business models, innovative high-quality products, and focus on continuous improvement and profitability position us well
as we progress through 2024 and beyond,” commented Brendan S. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging.
2024
Company Targets
For
the full year 2024, the Company maintains its target of revenues between $165 million and $175 million and reiterates its target of achieving
a positive adjusted EBITDA run rate by December 2024. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further information.
The
Company targets gross margin for full year 2024 of approximately 33%.
First
Quarter Financial Results
Revenues
Total
Revenues increased 73% to $37.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $15.9 million.
Product
Sales increased 68% to $27.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $11.1 million from the same period in 2023, primarily
driven by strong demand for our charging equipment and services and our ability to satisfy demand.
Service
Revenues, which consist of charging service revenues, network fees, and car-sharing service revenues, increased 72% to $8.2 million in
the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.4 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by greater utilization of chargers
in the U.S. and internationally, an increased number of chargers on the Blink networks, and revenues associated with the car-sharing
service programs.
Other
Revenues, which are comprised of warranty fees, grants and rebates, and other revenues, increased 264% to $1.9 million in the first quarter
of 2024, an increase of $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2023.
Gross
Profit
Gross
Profit increased 195% to $13.4 million, or 36% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to gross profit of $4.5 million, or
21% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2023. Gross margin increased in the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to shift to higher margin
products, increased vertical integration of charger manufacturing as well as higher gross margins from Service revenues.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses in the first quarter of 2024 decreased 13% to $30.9 million compared to $35.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. Operating
expenses in the quarter include a non-cash charge of $1.7 million related to the change in fair value of consideration payable. Excluding
the non-cash charge, operating expenses were $29.2 million, a decrease of 18% compared to first quarter of 2023.
Net
Loss and Loss Per Share
Net
Loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $17.2 million, or $(0.17) per share, compared to a net loss of $29.8 million, or $(0.53) per share
in the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average shares outstanding was 99.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, the
weighted average shares outstanding was 56.5 million.
Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was a loss of $(10.2) million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(17.8) million in the first
quarter of 2023, an improvement of 43%.
Adjusted
EBITDA (defined as earnings/loss before interest income/expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based
compensation, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to underperforming assets of subsidiary, and change in fair value related
to consideration payable) is a non-GAAP financial measure management uses as a proxy for net income/loss. See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures included at the end of this release.
Adjusted
EPS for the first quarter of 2024 was a loss of $(0.13) compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $(0.49) in the first quarter of 2023.
Adjusted
EPS (defined as earnings/loss per diluted share) is a non-GAAP financial measure management uses to assess earnings per diluted share
excluding non-recurring items such as amortization expense of intangible assets, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to
underperforming assets of subsidiary, and change in fair value related to consideration payable. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”
for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures included at the end of this release.

Blink
Charging Co. publicly reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”). To facilitate external analysis of the Company’s operating performance, Blink Charging also
presents financial information that is considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G and related reporting
requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not
as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income (Loss) or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and
may be different than those presented by other companies, including Blink Charging’s competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are
presented above.
EBITDA
is defined as earnings (loss) attributable to Blink Charging before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation
and amortization. Blink Charging believes EBITDA is useful to its management, securities analysts, and investors in evaluating operating
performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including
its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and
the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps Blink Charging’s management, securities analysts, and investors
to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing
the impact of its merger and acquisition expenses, financing transactions, and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments
from its operating results.
The
Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items such as stock-based compensation, acquisition
related costs, estimated loss related to underperforming assets of subsidiary, and change in fair value related to consideration payable,
is useful to securities analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance because
it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our
definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP, such as Net Loss, and Diluted Earnings per Share.
