BLINK CHARGING ANNOUNCES RECORD SECOND QUARTER WITH 186% REVENUE

GROWTH AND 528% INCREASE IN GROSS PROFIT

Miami Beach, FL, (August 8, 2023) -- Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The following top-line highlights are in thousands of dollars and unaudited.

“This was the strongest quarter in the Company’s history reflecting the strength of our full service offering as well as a market that is just beginning its growth trajectory. Blink is the only U.S. vertically integrated EV charging company, manufacturing and selling our charging equipment while also owning and operating our own chargers and network. Our broad capabilities and go-to-market strategy provide us the flexibility to generate revenue from a diversified and growing customer base and allow us to limit some of the risks associated with being either an equipment manufacturer or a charging provider. Simply put, Blink is a sustainable full-service EV infrastructure provider driving considerable growth and value through our comprehensive business model and synergistic revenue streams,” said Brendan Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“The revenue growth achieved in the second quarter was largely organic. We saw strong demand for both equipment and services in the U.S. division during the quarter, and in Europe our owner/operator strategy made significant gains. It is important to note that during the quarter our operating expenses were impacted by one-time severance expenses which will not recur in future quarters. As we move through the balance of the year, we remain focused on developing our innovative technology, products, and services to meet the growing demand for reliable EV charging equipment and infrastructure as drivers and fleets increasingly adopt EVs as their vehicles of choice. Notably, Blink supports all OEMs and we recently announced that we’ll incorporate both NACS and CCS into our full line of charging products, creating a portfolio of universally accessible EV chargers, to meet charging needs regardless of EV brand or type. We’re optimistic about the rapidly evolving charging landscape and believe Blink is well positioned to continue to capture market share as consumer recognition of our brand, our advanced technology and our innovative products continues to gain traction.”

Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Targets

Given the strong momentum in the business, Blink is increasing its 2023 revenue target to $110 - $120 million from $100 - $110 million. Furthermore, the Company is targeting achieving a positive Adjusted EBITDA run rate by December 2024.

The Company reiterates its previously stated annual gross margin target of 30%+.

“We are seeing considerable organic growth and expect to drive towards profitability as our business continues to scale and we realize efficiencies across our organization,” Mr. Jones concluded.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenues

Total Revenues increased 186% to $32.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $21.4 million.

Product Sales increased 179% to $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $15.8 million from the same period in 2022 primarily driven by increased sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers, and residential chargers, as well as revenues from the 2022 acquisitions.

Service Revenues, which consist of charging service revenues, network fees, and car-sharing service revenues, increased 211% to $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, up $4.7 million from the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by greater utilization of chargers in the U.S. and internationally, an increased number of chargers on the Blink networks, revenues associated with the Blink Mobility car-sharing service program, and revenues from the 2022 acquisitions.

Other Revenues, which are comprised of warranty fees, grants and rebates, and other revenues, increased 206% to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $851,000.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit increased 528% to $12.3 million, or 37% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to gross profit of $2.0 million, or 17% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2023, when compared to first quarter of 2023, due primarily to increased sales of chargers manufactured in-house, which provide a higher margin than contract manufactured chargers, as well as growth in service revenue such as charging revenues and network fees.

Net Loss and Loss Per Share

Net Loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $41.5 million, or $(0.67) per share, compared to a Net Loss of $22.6 million, or $(0.52) per share in the second quarter of 2022.

Net Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, includes the impact of additional non-cash share-based compensation and a one-time non-recurring payment to our former CEO as well as the non-recurring bonus expense related to the performance milestone achieved by our CTO. The milestone relates to the design and launch of Blink’s recently implemented new network.

Adjusted EBITDA⁾ and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was a loss of $13.5 million compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $15.6 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs and one-time non-recurring expense) 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 second quarter of 2023 was a loss of $(0.44) compared to an adjusted EPS loss of $(0.41) in the second quarter of 2022.

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 acquisition-related costs, amortization expense of intangible assets, additional stock-based compensation expense, and one-time non-recurring expense. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures included at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following table reconciles Net Loss attributable to Blink Charging Co. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown:

The following table reconciles EPS attributable to Blink Charging Co. to Adjusted EPS for the periods shown:

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 Co. 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 stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, and one-time non-recurring expenses 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.
