“Our investments in product development, sales, marketing and government relations combined with a significant increase in the urgency for sustainable and reliable EV charging infrastructure, driven by the relentless and accelerating move to electric transportation, has resulted in an order of magnitude increase in the orders we are receiving,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We have been preparing for this moment and have leveraged our experience, facilities and balance sheet to be able to accept and deliver on these new orders. Our sales team continues to drive pipeline growth, and I believe that what we are seeing, based on these growing fundamentals and EV trends, is just the beginning of an extraordinary rate of growth which we expect to continue for many years to come. Acquiring our own battery company and investing in factory facilities which will be able to produce over thirty times our previous best year’s volume, have positioned us to take advantage of the market conditions which make our unique products so necessary while creating a foundation for the even greater expansion I believe will be required in the future.”
Third Fiscal Quarter 2022 Financial Summary
Revenues
Beam Global reported record quarterly revenues of $6.6 million in the third quarter 2022, a 227% increase over $2.0 million reported in the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, we reported revenues of $14.1 million, a 156% increase over $5.5 million reported for the same period in 2021. Revenues for our energy storage business contributed $1.7 million in the third quarter and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of closing the acquisition of All Cell Technologies, LLC (“All Cell”) in early March. Revenues to Federal and Enterprise customers showed the strongest growth in the quarter and year-to-date.

Gross Loss
Gross loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $0.3 million, or 5% of sales, compared to $0.2 million, or 10% of sales in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross loss for the first nine months of 2022 was $1.0 million, or 7% of sales, compared to $0.6 million, or 11% of sales in the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, the gross loss is improving primarily due to increased production levels which resulted in favorable fixed overhead absorption and improved labor efficiency in spite of an increase in material costs for steel and other components due to supply chain shortages and other inflationary pressures.
Operating Expenses
Operating Expenses were $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $10.9 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to a $3.7M non-cash increase in the fair value of contingent consideration in 2022 related to the All Cell acquisition and the addition of All Cell expenses as a result of the acquisition.
Cash and Working Capital
At September 30, 2022, we had cash of $4.7 million, compared to $21.9 million at December 31, 2021. The cash decrease was primarily from increases in inventory and prepayments to vendors to secure battery cells for production as well as the net loss. Our working capital decreased from $24.6 million to $12.8 million from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The decrease in working capital includes a $4.9 million increase in current liabilities for the change in fair value of non-cash contingent consideration related to the All Cell acquisition.
