Insights

Blink Charging's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While total revenues increased slightly by 1.3% year-over-year to $33.3 million, product revenues declined by 4.1%. The company saw stronger growth in service revenues, up 15.1% to $8.0 million.

Positively, Blink significantly reduced operating expenses by 41% to $31.4 million. However, gross margin contracted to 32% from 37% last year. The net loss narrowed to $20.1 million from $41.5 million, but adjusted EBITDA loss widened slightly to $14.7 million.

The company lowered its 2024 revenue guidance to $145-155 million and pushed back its timeline for positive adjusted EBITDA to 2025, signaling near-term headwinds in the EV charging market.

Blink's results reflect broader challenges in the EV market. The company noted a "general short-term softening of EV demand" impacting sales. However, Blink is adapting by diversifying its product mix towards more Level 2 chargers and expanding service offerings.

With 4,106 charging stations contracted, sold or deployed in Q2, Blink continues to grow its network. The company claims the third-largest charging network in the industry, positioning it well for long-term growth as EV adoption increases.

Key partnerships, like with Decathlon in Belgium and BYD dealerships in Mexico, demonstrate Blink's efforts to expand internationally. The company's selection for government contracts and partnerships with fleet operators also highlight potential growth avenues beyond consumer-focused charging.

Blink's vertical integration strategy and diverse product lineup are key differentiators in the competitive EV charging market. The company's focus on software solutions and grid integration could open new revenue streams and improve margins long-term.

The launch of Blink Care, a preventative maintenance program, addresses a critical issue in the industry - charger reliability. This could enhance customer satisfaction and potentially drive more recurring revenue.

Achieving "In Process" FedRAMP status is significant, as it opens doors to lucrative government contracts. The company's selection for various state and institutional purchasing agreements further solidifies its position in the public sector market.

While near-term challenges exist, Blink's strategic positioning and product development efforts align well with the long-term growth trajectory of the EV charging infrastructure market.

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 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 non-recurring items such as stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to sale of underperforming assets of subsidiary, change in fair value related to consideration payable, and one-time non-recurring expense, 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.
