ZAPP Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Ltd

Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) (“Zapp EV” or the “Company”), owner of “Zapp”, the British electric vehicle brand on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today reported financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Recent Business Highlights

• Commenced commercial rollout in India with an Indian partner as contract manufacturer and supporting homologation in the country.
• i300 named winner of the world renowned iF DESIGN AWARD 2024, taking i300's design award tally to nine, including the Red Dot and Good Design awards.
• Received total proceeds of $2.7 million in connection with the standby equity purchase agreement, additional at-the-market transactions and other loans, to start production and commercial rollout of the i300 in UK, EU and Thailand.
• Commenced launch activities for i300 on the streets of Bangkok.

Financial Results for the six months ended March 31, 2024

• IFRS net loss of $5.0 million compared to $8.6 million in the same six-month period in 2023.
• Net loss included a non-cash charge of $2.0 million related to the revaluation and termination of financial instruments issued in connection with the business combination in 2023.
• Operating loss of $3.1 million compared to $3.9 million in the same six-month period in 2023.

Raised Business Outlook

• First customer deliveries of i300 are expected in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024.
• Zapp expects to sell more than 5,000 units in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
• Sales in fiscal 2025 will be weighted toward the second half of the year, now with a resulting run-rate of more than 25,000 units per year to start fiscal year 2026.

Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and CEO of Zapp EV, said: “The distinctive look of i300 is also a fit for purpose form factor. Of an estimated $130 billion and growing in two-wheelers sold globally, we see a large, underserved category of consumers that want superbike specifications but still need the maneuverability of a step-through for the city streets where they spend the most time. After first deliveries of i300 to customers in Europe and Thailand this summer, we expect to scale rapidly in Southeast Asia and India where urban mobility on two wheels is essential.”
