Insights

Financial Analyst

Nuvve's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges. Revenue dropped 62.2% year-over-year to $0.80 million, primarily due to decreased product and service sales. While the company managed to reduce operating expenses by 26.4%, the net loss of $3.9 million, although improved from last year, remains concerning.

The company's cash position of $1.4 million as of June 30, 2024, is alarmingly low, raising questions about Nuvve's ability to fund operations without additional capital. The increase in megawatts under management by 8.0% to 27.1 megawatts is a positive sign, but it's not translating into revenue growth.

While partnerships and project developments like the Fresno EOC program are promising, Nuvve needs to significantly improve its revenue generation and path to profitability to remain viable in the long term.

Clean Energy Technology Expert

Nuvve's V2G technology remains at the forefront of EV integration with power grids, but the company is struggling to monetize its innovations effectively. The partnership with Great Power to combine V2G technology with advanced batteries could potentially lead to more efficient and affordable EVs, which is important for mass adoption.

The Fresno EOC project, involving a 2.5-megawatt solar system and battery storage, showcases Nuvve's capability to deliver comprehensive clean energy solutions. However, the slow pace of revenue generation from such projects is concerning. The company needs to accelerate the conversion of its technological advantages into sustainable revenue streams.

The installation at Chinle USD demonstrates the potential for V2G in underserved communities, but Nuvve must find ways to scale these projects more rapidly to achieve financial stability and growth.

Investor Conference Call to be Held Today at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (2:00 PM PT)

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuvve Holding Corp. ("Nuvve", "we", the "Company") (Nasdaq: NVVE), a green energy technology company that provides a globally-available, commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology platform that enables electric vehicle (EV) batteries to store and resell unused energy back to the local electric grid and provides other grid services, today provided a second quarter 2024 update. 

Second Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

• Partnered with Great Power, combining Nuvve's V2G technology with advanced batteries for more efficient, affordable EVs and part of the V2G Hub solution
• Held ground breaking event on the turnkey fleet electrification program for Fresno EOC's $16M 50-shuttle fleet project
• Completed installation and commissioning of Nuvve AC and DC chargers at Chinle Unified School District (USD) in California, making Chinle the first and largest school district in the Navajo Nation to go electric
• Increased megawatts under management by 8.0% to 27.1 megawatts as of June 30, 2024 from 25.1 megawatts on December 31, 2023
• Reduced operating expenses excluding cost of sales in second quarter 2024 to $6.0 million compared to $8.5 million in second quarter 2023
• Cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million as of June 30, 2024

Management Discussion

Gregory Poilasne, Chief Executive Officer of Nuvve, said, "The second quarter was busy time of year for tradeshows and conferences where Nuvve had a presence at ACT Expo, STN East, STN West, NSTA, and several state conferences. At these conferences we highlighted how our solutions, which are managed through our proprietary GIVe^TM bidirectional, smart-charging software platform can positively impact their total cost of ownership (TCO) model. This timing was critical as many school bus fleet operators are starting to make infrastructure decisions after winning their grant awards from the EPAs Clean School Bus Program. We were pleased with the success of the ground breaking event held with the Board of the Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission executive team on our turnkey fleet electrification program for their 50-shuttle fleet that occurred in July. This solution will include 50 electric Class-A shuttles, a 2.5-megawatt on-site solar generation system, a battery storage system, DC fast chargers, and our GIVe^TM software platform and V2G technology. We also announced our partnership with Great Power, where we will combine their industry-leading advanced batteries with our V2G solutions, helping power similar projects as the one in Fresno, California. Finally, we completed the installation and commissioning of Nuvve AC and DC chargers at Chinle Unified School District (USD) in California, now the first and largest school district in the Navajo Nation to go electric and Nuvve is proud to be along with them on this journey."

2024 Second Quarter Financial Review

Total revenue was $0.80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.32 million, or 62.2%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.18 million decrease in products revenue and $0.2 million decrease in services revenue due to lower customers sales orders and shipments, partially offset by an increase in grants of $0.06 million. Products and services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, consisted of DC and AC Chargers of $0.37 million, grid services revenue of $0.12 million, and engineering services of $0.19 million.

Cost of products and services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.3 million to $0.6 million, or 69.1% compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to lower customers sales orders and shipments. Products and services margin increased by 5.4% to 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4.8% in the same prior year period. Margin benefited from a lower mix of hardware charging stations' sales and a higher mix of engineering services in the current quarter compared with the second quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of selling, marketing, advertising, payroll, administrative, legal, finance, and professional expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 26.4%. 

The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation expenses of $0.4 million, including share-based compensation, decreases in public company related costs of $0.3 million, decreases in subcontractor and outside services expenses of $0.4 million, decreases in travel and marketing/promotions related expenses of $0.4 million, and decreases in bad debt expenses of $0.1 million. Expenses resulting from the consolidation of Levo's activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024, accounted for $0.1 million of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.9 million, or 38.3%, from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation expenses and subcontractor expenses used to advance our platform functionality and integration with more vehicles.

Other income, net consists primarily of interest expense, change in fair value of warrants liability and derivative liability, and other income (expense). Other income, net increased by $1.5 million from $0.3 million of other income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $1.8 million in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of the warrants liability and sublease income related to the subleasing of part of our main office space.

Net loss decreased by $4.0 million, or 50.5%, from $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to an increase in other income of $1.5 million, and a decrease in operating expenses of $3.9 million, which includes a decrease in cost of product and services of $1.3 million, and a decrease in revenue of $1.3 million, for the above aforementioned reasons.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net income attributable to non-controlling interest of $0.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net income (loss) is allocated to non-controlling interests in proportion to the relative ownership interests of the holders of non-controlling interests in Levo, an entity formed by us with Stonepeak and Evolve. We own 51% of Levo's common units and Stonepeak and Evolve own 49% of Levo's common units. We have determined that Levo is a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we consolidated Levo and recorded a non-controlling interest for the share of Levo owned by Stonepeak and Evolve during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Megawatts Under Management

Megawatts under management refers to the potential available charging capacity Nuvve is currently managing around the world.
