Financial Highlights and Commentary (for the three months ended June 30, 2024):

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company delivered its first quarter of positive operating cash flows, generating net cash of $15,951 provided by operating activities, a year-over-year increase of $1,184,502.

The Company recognized quarterly revenue of $898,249, a year-over-year increase of $397,225 (79%), and grew its sales backlog by $1,445,192 (23%) compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2024.

Operating expenses were $1,873,917 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a 23% decrease from the prior year period. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a $659,765 (35%) reduction in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased investment of $107,786 (19%) in sales and marketing, and research and development.

Gross margin decreased to 26% from 46% over the comparable period as a result of the Company's product mix. In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company's product mix included sales of lower gross margin Level 3 direct current (DC) fast chargers, whereas in the comparable period, sales were compromised of higher gross margin Level 2 alternating current (AC) chargers.

Net and comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $1,610,484, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, as compared to net loss of $2,188,632, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share in the prior year.

"During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Hypercharge continued to make progress in key areas, most notably with our sales backlog, which increased to $7.7 million as of June 30, 2024," said David Bibby, President and CEO of Hypercharge. "This represents a $1.4 million (23%) increase from March 31, 2024, and a year-over-year increase of $5.7 million (270%), highlighting the strong demand for our EV solutions. Our growing backlog, which includes diverse projects from major customers including Mattamy and the Deveraux Group of Companies, is projected to be delivered over the next 3 to 18 months, supporting our expansion across Canada and into the U.S. We are building on this strong momentum and expect to further expand sales across strategic accounts and markets in the following quarters and convert our sales backlog.

"The Company also achieved a significant milestone by generating positive cash flow from operating activities for the first time, with $15,951 of net cash provided in the quarter, a $1.2 million improvement year-over-year. Operating expenses decreased by $552,000, or 23% year-over-year, driven by a 50% reduction in general and administrative expenses. These cost management efforts, combined with strategic investments in sales, marketing, and R&D, are positioning us well for the future.

"As we move forward, our focus is clear: expanding our network, enhancing our technology, controlling costs, and accelerating our path towards profitability. We're committed to customer excellence and sustained growth," concluded Bibby.
