Charge Enterprises Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Gross Profit grew 23% to $7.7 million, compared with the prior year period, driven by increases in the Infrastructure segment
  • Second quarter revenues of $147.6 million; Infrastructure segment revenues increased 18%, compared with the prior year period
  • Infrastructure segment backlog totaled $138.2 million at the close of the second quarter 2023
  • Reaffirms expected positive Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2024
  • Recent acquisition of Greenspeed further solidifies the Company’s focus on establishing itself as a go-to resource for customers needing EV charging support

Charge Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRGE) (“Charge” or the “Company”), today reported second quarter 2023 results. For the quarter, revenues were $147.6 million, compared with $181.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 increased to $7.7 million, compared with $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.

“Charge’s second quarter revenue results were led by the strong performance from our Infrastructure segment, which includes our fast-growing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure business. The 18% growth in revenues in our Infrastructure segment was offset by a decline in revenues in our Telecommunications segment, which experienced lower wholesale voice volume. The decline in revenues in the Telecommunications segment was expected to occur over time due to technology dynamics in voice calling. We have taken steps to mitigate this impact through new higher margin SMS text product offerings. Most importantly, we delivered on another significant milestone by achieving a second consecutive quarter of record Infrastructure segment backlog, reaching approximately $138 million at the end of the second quarter. We believe the continued increase in our customer commitments to engage Charge as their trusted resource in EV installations supports our long-term growth strategy for our Infrastructure segment. The expansion of our backlog also reflects the success we are experiencing in winning new automotive retail dealership customers nationwide," said Andrew Fox, Founder, Chairman and CEO.

"Our auto dealer customers' multi-year programs to install EV infrastructure is expected to continue to drive demand for our services and create recurring revenue opportunities with our remote monitoring and management software tool. At the end of the second quarter, we achieved nearly 20% of our goal of project engagement with 1,000 major market dealerships by 2025. Our recently announced acquisition of Greenspeed, a leading provider of EV infrastructure solutions, marks an important initiative for Charge that enhances our capabilities to both execute and service customers as the nation transitions to EVs. With Greenspeed’s skilled workforce, we have significantly strengthened our capabilities to serve clients directly, which is expected to enhance the quality of service and drive higher gross margin opportunities with our customer engagements. We believe that by leveraging Greenspeed’s success with retail dealerships and other channels, along with its scale and capacity, we can provide an even more compelling and complete suite of services to meet the high customer demand for EV infrastructure over the coming years.”

Fox added, “The strong demand for EV infrastructure, both from private and public sectors, is boosted by increasing government support for sustainable solutions, and auto OEM mandates for EV infrastructure deployments across dealer networks, creating very favorable market dynamics. We believe our robust growth in backlog, together with our strategic EV infrastructure acquisition, provides a positive outlook for the remainder of this year and that our strategies for profitable growth in 2024 and beyond are gaining momentum."

(1)

As Adjusted represents the Company's change in accounting principle for recognizing stock-based compensation expense from a graded vesting attribution method to a straight-line attribution method. The effects of the change have been retrospectively applied to all periods effective from January 1, 2023, as presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs adjusted for stock-based compensation, loss on impairment, (income) loss from investments, net, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, other (income) expense, net, and foreign exchange adjustments. Refer to Appendix for definition and complete non-GAAP reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA.

Charge’s CFO Leah Schweller commented, “Although our second quarter revenues declined compared with the prior year period, this was expected due to the ongoing decrease in wholesale voice volume in our Telecommunications segment. However, we continued to benefit from growth within our Infrastructure segment, primarily driven by our BW and EV charging infrastructure businesses. We are encouraged by our robust backlog and our recent acquisition of Greenspeed, which we believe will enable us to serve our customers at an even higher level. Our priorities remain focused on growing revenues and EBITDA, maintaining strong controls over expenses, and driving profitability. In pursuit of growth, we plan to continue to make strategic investments, including proper staffing levels, technology enabled tools, and the ongoing implementation of SMS technology, while diligently seeking opportunities to reduce costs.”

As discussed last quarter, the Company changed its accounting principle for recognizing stock-based compensation expense from a graded vesting attribution method to a straight-line attribution method. Additionally, subsequent to the change in accounting principle, the Company reclassified its expense related to stock-based compensation arrangements to present in the same financial statement line item as cash compensation paid to the same employees and nonemployees. As a result, the stock-based compensation financial statement line item was eliminated, and there was a corresponding change in expense reported in cost of sales, general and administrative and salaries and related benefits financial statement line items. Further details can be found within Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, and in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $33.5 million to $147.6 million, compared with $181.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The 18% decrease in revenues was the result of lower revenues in the Company’s Telecommunications segment, partially offset by increased revenues in its Infrastructure segment.

  • Infrastructure: Revenues increased $4.5 million to $30.0 million, compared with $25.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven by increased electrical contracting services within BW, and continued execution within EV charging infrastructure compared with the prior year. The increase was partially offset by lower revenues in the Company’s ANS business, as a result of reduced spending by the major wireless broadband companies.
  • Telecommunications: Revenues decreased $38.0 million to $117.6 million, compared with $155.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to the expected lower wholesale voice volume.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 increased $1.5 million to $7.7 million, compared with $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by higher gross profit in the Company’s Infrastructure segment, partially offset by lower gross profit in the Company’s Telecommunications segment.

Consolidated gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2023 increased versus the prior year period, driven by higher gross margin in both of the Company’s business segments, as well as an increasing proportion of revenues coming from the Company’s higher margin Infrastructure segment.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $8.8 million, compared with a net loss of $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2022. Expenses after gross profit were primarily related to continued investments the Company made to support its growth strategy. The largest drivers over the prior year period were:

  • $5.4 million in general and administrative expense, which represented a decrease of $1.0 million, attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher investments in marketing;
  • $9.2 million in salaries and related benefits, which represented a $1.4 million increase, driven by incremental headcount to support the growth of the Company over the past year, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation;
  • $0.4 million in professional fees, which represented a $0.4 million decrease, primarily related to reduced legal fees in the current period following the insourcing of legal counsel in the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as higher fees incurred in the prior year period to support the uplist to the Nasdaq; and
  • $0.1 million in other income/(expense), net, which represented an increase of $7.1 million, primarily driven by a $5.4 million decrease in relation to debt amortization costs and an increase in investment income, net, of $1.7 million.

Net loss of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, adjusted for non-cash and certain one-time items, resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.3 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. See the Appendix for definition and a full reconciliation.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held $61.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, most of which is used for operations. On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an existing stockholder pursuant to which, beginning on October 15, 2023 and through March 31, 2024, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell, and to require the purchaser to purchase, up to $5.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, the Company has supplemented the presentation of its financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with the following financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. The Company’s measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.

Certain information presented in this press release reflects adjustments to GAAP measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an additional way of assessing certain aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of its on-going business. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, income (loss) from investments, net, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, other (income) expense, net, and foreign exchange adjustments.

As it related to future projections for the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA described above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measure or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to income or loss from investments, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign exchange adjustments.
