Ideanomics Second Quarter 2020 Operating Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $4.7 million. The second quarter revenues are the largest revenues from MEG since the Company commenced EV sales demonstrating the underlying strength of MEG's business, particularly as these revenues were earned during a period when China's economy was still returning to normal after the Covid-19 lockdown. 

Performance on a sequential basis, revenues saw improvement in the second quarter of $4.7 million versus $378,000 in the first quarter ending March 31, 2020. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit for second quarter was $255,000 which represented a gross margin of 4.9%. Second quarter operating expense was $16.5 million as compared to $8.0 million in the same period in 2019. The increase was due principally to a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $6.2 million related to the decision to terminate our office lease at 55 Broadway.  Excluding the impairment charge, operating expenses for the second quarter was $10.3 million versus $8.0 million in the prior year.

Operating Loss

The loss from operations was $16.3 million, however, excluding the one-time impairment charge, the loss would have been $10.1 million as compared to $5.7 million in the prior period. Management continues to look for ways to reduce costs and allocate spending to the projects with the highest rate of return. Expenses for the current period include $17.4 million of non-cash expense related to impairment charges, interest expense, and debt conversion.
