  • Debt-free status with $100M unused credit line
  • YTD gross margin improved to 12.4%, up 11 percentage points from 2023

  • Revenue decreased 22% from Q2 2024

Insights

The Q3 results reveal concerning trends despite some positive developments. While achieving the highest Q3 gross margin at 10.7% shows operational improvement, revenue declined 22% from Q2 2024. The $11.5 million revenue, though second-highest for Q3 historically, indicates potential market challenges. The $200 million pipeline is promising, but the relatively small $7 million backlog raises questions about near-term growth.

The shift toward commercial customers (now 47.9% of revenue) reduces government dependency but hasn't offset the impact of federal order timing and certification delays. The debt-free status and unused $100 million credit line provide financial flexibility, but cash decreased to $4.9 million from $10.4 million, primarily due to acquisition costs and inventory investment.

The strategic expansion through new product launches (BeamSpot™, BeamBike™, BeamPatrol™, BeamWell™) and international growth via the Telcom acquisition positions Beam for diversified revenue streams. However, market headwinds including U.S. government EV strategy uncertainty and certification requirements are impacting near-term performance. The reseller program launch and first European orders demonstrate promising market penetration strategies.

The 80% increase in commercial customer revenue year-over-year suggests successful market diversification, though the overall revenue decline indicates execution challenges in this transition period. Management's projection of revenue growth resumption in 2025 appears contingent on certification completion and political clarity.

Conference Call Friday, November 15, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. ET

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), (the “Company”), the leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, today announced its third quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2024.

Q3 2024 Financial Highlights:

  • Gross Margin was 10.7% of sales, our highest Q3 margin ever, 9 percentage points increase over Q3 2023
  • YTD Gross Margin 12.4%, 11 percentage points increase over 2023 
  • 47.9% revenue derived from commercial customers
  • Record Pipeline of over $200 million
  • Backlog of $7 million
  • Debt free and $100 million line of credit available and unused

Q3 2024 Operational Highlights

  • Acquisition of Telcom – provides Beam with in-house production capabilities for power electronics 
  • First sponsorship deal with Globos Osiguranje to deploy EV ARC™ systems at Belgrade Airport
  • Launched four new products – BeamSpot™, BeamBike™, BeamPatrol™, BeamWell™
  • BeamSpot™ momentum – first purchase within just five weeks of launch
  • New fleet deployments – Added new police and international airport fleet customers, further expanding our customer base in critical sectors
  • Reseller Program launch – Introduced the Beam Reseller Program and signed our first four partners, generating purchase orders, promising proposals and expanding our reach
  • Delivered 10 UK Ministry of Defense EV ARC™ systems in Q3 2024, our first European order
  • Named new VP of Sales – Andy Lovsted joined Beam Global in the US
  • Named new VP of Sales – Igor Labovic joined Beam Global in Europe

“This has been a quarter of geographic and product expansion which is unmatched in our history. We have continued to improve our unit economics and generate solid gross margins, and we see continued upside going forward through our acquisitions in Europe, most recently acquiring Telcom to bring in-house manufacturing of power electronics, driving additional future margins and introducing new customers. Additionally, the work we have done to reduce direct costs, increase production efficiencies and the price increases implemented at the end of 2023 will increase margins significantly especially as revenue growth returns,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We believe that the decrease in revenue, quarter over quarter, is a result of order timing, uncertainty in the U.S. government’s zero emission vehicle strategy related to the presidential election and evolving certification requirements for energy storage systems requiring updates to our EV ARC products which we believe will be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Our geographic expansion into new markets combined with the new opportunities we are seeing as a result of the impressive new products we have launched leads us to believe that we will return to increasing revenues in 2025 with significantly improved profit margins. We continue to be debt free, have sufficient cash on hand and have not tapped our $100M line of credit.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024 our revenues were $11.5 million, though they were the second highest third quarter revenues in history, they decreased 22% from second quarter 2024.  47.9% of our revenue in the third quarter was derived from commercial customers, an increase of over 80% over Q3 2023.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our revenues were $41.0 million. We continue to invest in sales employees, diversifying our product portfolio and expanding our geographic footprint to reduce our reliance on single large orders of our EV ARC™ product by federal agencies, although we believe that opportunity still exists.

Gross Profit
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, our gross profit was $1.2 million, or 10.7% of sales, compared to a gross margin of 1.7% of sales for the same period in 2023. The margin improved by 9 percentage points for the same period 2023. Our gross profits included a negative impact of $0.8 million for non-cash depreciation and intangible amortization. Our gross profits net of non-cash items was 17.6%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our gross profit was $5.1 million, or 12.0% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $0.8 million, or 2.0% of sales in 2023.  Our nine-month gross profits included a negative impact of $2.8 million for non-cash depreciation and intangible amortization. Our nine-month gross profits net of non-cash items was 18.3%.

We began to see some improvements on material pricing, which we believe will continue to improve over time. We continue to make engineering changes and work with suppliers to decrease our costs which, along with support from our Serbian facilities, we believe will continue to improve our gross profit over time.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were a credit of $50 thousand, or (0.4%) of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.0 million, or 24% of revenues, for the same quarter in the prior year. The $4.1 million decrease is mostly attributable to $6.1 million related to the non-cash change in fair value of contingent consideration for the Amiga acquisition, offset by non-cash warrants amortization increase of $0.2 million and stock compensation increase of $0.2 million, resulting in $1.7 million increase in operating expenses quarter over quarter mainly related to $1.2 million for operating expenses for Beam Europe, $0.3 million in customer service accommodation costs, $0.1 million related to facility expansion and $0.1 million mainly for consulting for government relations and engineering.

Total operating expenses were $11.6 million, or 28% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.9 million, or 25% of revenues, for the same period in the prior year. When you remove the $4.5 million non-cash decrease in fair value of contingent consideration for the Amiga acquisition in 2024 and $0.3 million increase in fair value of contingent consideration for the All Cell acquisition in 2023, the net change in fair value contingent consideration is $4.3 million offset by non-cash increases in warrants amortization expense $0.3 million, stock compensation $0.3 million, bad debt allowance $0.4 million resulting in $3.3 million increase in operating expenses. The increase is mainly related to $2.1 million for operating expenses for Beam Europe, $0.4 million for facility expansion, $0.3 million commissions due to earned at time of customer payment, $0.3 million in customer accommodation service costs and $0.2 million related to acquisition costs.

Net Income (Loss)
Net Income was $1.3 million for the three months ending September 30, 2024, compared to Net Loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2023. The third quarter’s net income is a result of the reversal of $6.1 million for the fair value of non-cash contingent consideration discussed above.  The third quarter also included non-cash expense items related to depreciation, intellectual property amortization and allowance for bad debt. Net loss excluding non-cash items was $3.0 million.

Net loss was $6.7 million for the nine months of 2024, compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2023.  The net loss includes non-cash expense items related to depreciation, intellectual property amortization, non-cash compensation expense, allowance for bad debt and fair value of contingent consideration. The Net Loss when non-cash items are removed is $5.8 million.   

Cash
On September 30, 2024, we had cash of $4.9 million, compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2023. The cash decrease was primarily due to cash payments for the acquisition of Amiga of $2.7 million as well as operating cash used to increase inventory.
