Insights

Cenntro's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. While net revenue increased by 96.4% to $8.32 million, the company still reported a net loss of $9.2 million. The gross margin decreased to 14.7% from 27.1% year-over-year, indicating potential pricing pressures or increased costs.

Positively, U.S. sales volume surged to $4.9 million from just $33,000 in Q2 2023, suggesting improved market penetration. The company also sold 429 iChassis kits, a new revenue stream. However, cash reserves declined to $16.2 million from $29.4 million at the end of 2023, which could be concerning if the burn rate continues.

While the reduced net loss and improved Adjusted EBITDA are steps in the right direction, Cenntro needs to focus on scaling operations and improving margins to achieve profitability.

Cenntro's Q2 results reflect growing market acceptance of electric commercial vehicles. The introduction of new models like the Logistar 210 and expansion into U.S. west coast markets indicate a strategic focus on product diversification and geographical expansion. The company sold 255 vehicles in Q2, up from 235 in the prior year, showing modest growth.

The establishment of a California-based assembly facility is a smart move to capitalize on the eco-friendly policies in the state and reduce delivery times. Receiving CARB and EPA certifications for the Logistar 300 model also positions Cenntro well in the stringent U.S. regulatory environment.

However, the EV market is becoming increasingly competitive. Cenntro will need to accelerate its growth and improve operational efficiency to stand out. The decrease in R&D expenses by 49.2% could be concerning if it hampers innovation in this rapidly evolving sector.

Cenntro's focus on next-generation vehicles and regulatory compliance is important in the evolving EV landscape. The introduction of the Logistar 210, which meets new European regulations, demonstrates adaptability. The iChassis sales of 429 units indicate potential for modular and customizable EV solutions, which could be a unique selling point.

The company's ability to secure CARB and EPA certifications for the Logistar 300 is significant, as it opens doors to environmentally conscious markets. However, the decrease in R&D spending from $2.1 million to $1.1 million is concerning. In a rapidly advancing field like EVs, maintaining technological edge is crucial.

Cenntro should consider investing more in R&D to stay competitive, particularly in areas like battery technology, autonomous driving features and connected vehicle systems. The EV market is evolving quickly and staying ahead in innovation is key to long-term success.

FREEHOLD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cenntro Inc. (NASDAQ: CENN) (“Cenntro” or “the Company”), a leading electric commercial vehicle company with advanced, market-validated, and purpose-built vehicles, has reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights:

  • Second quarter 2024 net revenue of $8.32 million increased 96.4% compared to $4.24 million for the second quarter of 2023.
  • U.S. sales volume increased to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $33,000 for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2024 of $7.27 million compared to a loss of $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Sold 255 Electric Commercial Vehicles in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Sold 33 Logistar™ 400 Class 4 vehicles in the U.S. market compared to zero in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Sold 53 Avantier™ vehicles in Europe and South American markets in the second quarter of 2024 compared to zero in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Sold 429 iChassis kits in the second quarter of 2024 compared to zero in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Ontario assembly facility in California began full assembly operations in the second quarter of 2024.

Peter Wang, chief executive officer, explained: “The second quarter of 2024 demonstrated a strong cadence of Cenntro products being sold and delivered in the U.S. market. In the second quarter we sold 255 vehicles compared to 235 vehicles in the prior year period. We sold 429 units of our iChassis in the second quarter, although these units are not inclusive of the number of vehicles sold because iChassis is not considered a complete vehicle. We anticipate sales momentum will continue to build in the quarters ahead due to our sales process and growth strategy.

“During the second quarter of 2024 we continued our introduction of next-generation vehicles with the newest Logistar® series model, the Logistar® 210 ('LS210') being sold in the European and other global markets. The LS210 is a light duty electric commercial vehicle customized for transporting light goods in urban areas, replacing the LS200 because it meets new European regulations. We also recently received a California Air Resources Board ('CARB') 'Executive Order' and a 'Certificate of Conformity' from the United States Environmental Protection Agency for the Logistar® 300 model. We are working diligently to develop new vehicle models to align with the demands of the market, and keep pace with new regulations, technologies and features.

“Operationally, we established a California-based electric commercial vehicles ('ECVs') production and distribution assembly facility to support expanding sales in the U.S. west coast market in Ontario, California. Our California facility has full-scale production capabilities for the LS400, Metro and future vehicle models to be sold in the U.S. As of June of this year, the California facility assembled and delivered over three dozen LS400 units to west coast customers. With our expanded production capacity in California, we believe we are positioned for more efficient delivery of our EVs to the west coast market.

“Looking ahead, we will continue to build on strength of our financial and operational results in 2024 and beyond. Our focus is on expanding our geographic footprint for production, distribution, and service infrastructure. We look forward to providing additional updates in the months to come as we work to create long-term value for our stockholders,” concluded Mr. Wang.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
