Charge Enterprises Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Highest Gross Profit to date of $9.0 million, representing a 48% year-over-year increase, driven by growth in the Infrastructure segment
  • Third quarter revenues of $132.3 million, with 19% growth in the Infrastructure segment, offset by expected declines in the Telecommunications segment
  • Efficiency improvements and skillset enhancements within the EV charging operation as part of the integration of Greenspeed
  • Approximately $2 million of annualized people costs removed in conjunction with the integration of Greenspeed
  • Infrastructure segment backlog of future revenues totaled $139 million at the end of the third quarter 2023
  • Reiterate first quarter 2024 and full year 2024 positive Adjusted EBITDA

Charge Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRGE) (“Charge” or the “Company”), today reported third quarter 2023 results. For the quarter, revenues were $132.3 million, compared with $185.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit for the third quarter 2023 increased to $9.0 million, compared with $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2022.

"Our third quarter results were highlighted by our Infrastructure segment once again, as shown by the 19% growth in revenue and 59% growth in gross profit versus the prior year, which was driven by strong project delivery within our electrical services business and momentum within our EV charging business, including the Greenspeed acquisition," said Craig Denson, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "At the end of August, Stellantis selected Charge Enterprises to assist its US dealerships with their infrastructure requirements for overall power management solutions for over 2,600 Stellantis dealers nationwide, demonstrating our commitment to implementing critical EV charging infrastructure for the future.

"We are making good progress against the three fundamental objectives outlined in August. We are well underway in strategic planning for the future, along with the accompanying marketing and communications plan with our new partner, Gateway Group. We are also pleased with the progress to date on integration and leveraging our existing portfolio of companies with our most recent acquisition, Greenspeed. We are already experiencing significant benefits including operational best practices and cost efficiencies resulting in a higher quality product offering delivered to our customers in a timely manner. In fact, we have been able to remove approximately $2 million of annualized people costs from our newly combined EV charging infrastructure business. We have developed more direct and transparent go-to-market strategies in order to execute our services across all geographies as we continue leveraging our subsidiaries and capitalizing on the various strengths they possess. These combined initiatives are designed to facilitate momentum towards continued earnings growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA in the full year of 2024."

As Adjusted represents the Company's change in accounting principle for recognizing stock-based compensation expense from a graded vesting attribution method to a straight-line attribution method. The effects of the change have been retrospectively applied to all periods effective from January 1, 2023, as presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 10-Q to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs adjusted for stock-based compensation, loss on impairment, (income) loss from investments, net, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, other (income) expense, net, and foreign exchange gain (loss). Refer to Appendix for definition and complete non-GAAP reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA.

Charge Enterprise's CFO Leah Schweller commented, "While our third-quarter revenues declined compared to the same period last year, the decline was anticipated due to decreasing wholesale voice volume in our Telecommunications segment. Our Infrastructure segment continues to perform well, with strong growth driven by our electrical services, and EV charging infrastructure, thanks to our recent acquisition of Greenspeed. We are pleased with our improving loss from operations and Adjusted EBITDA results and have high confidence in achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, we expect to deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2024. Our backlog remains solid, and the integration of Greenspeed is progressing smoothly. We remain committed to executing our forthcoming comprehensive strategic plan, which will focus on nurturing organic growth, integrating our subsidiaries, optimizing capital allocation, and elevating cost synergies across our entire organization."

As discussed in prior quarters, the Company changed its accounting principle for recognizing stock-based compensation expense from a graded vesting attribution method to a straight-line attribution method. Additionally, subsequent to the change in accounting principle, the Company reclassified its expense related to stock-based compensation arrangements to present in the same financial statement line item as cash compensation paid to the same employees and nonemployees. As a result, the stock-based compensation financial statement line item was eliminated, and there was a corresponding change in expense reported in cost of sales, general and administrative and salaries and related benefits financial statement line items. Further details can be found within Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, and in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 10-Q to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues for the third quarter 2023 decreased $53.6 million to $132.3 million, compared with $185.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. The 29% decrease in revenues was the result of lower wholesale traffic volumes in the Company’s Telecommunications segment, partially offset by increased revenues in the electrical services and EV charging installations within its Infrastructure segment.

  • Infrastructure: Revenues increased $5.0 million to $31.8 million, compared with $26.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, driven by growth related to its electrical services business and increased revenues in its EV charging business, both organically and through the recent acquisition of Greenspeed, partially offset by lower revenues in the Company's wireless broadband business due to decreased spending by wireless broadband carriers.
  • Telecommunications: Revenues decreased $58.6 million to $100.5 million, compared with $159.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to the expected lower wholesale voice volume.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2023 increased $2.9 million to $9.0 million, compared with $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by higher gross profit in the Company’s Infrastructure segment, partially offset by lower gross profit in the Company’s Telecommunications segment.

Consolidated gross margin percentage for the third quarter 2023 increased versus the prior year period, driven by higher gross margin in both of the Company’s business segments and an increasing share of revenues originating from the Company’s higher-margin Infrastructure segment.

Net loss for the third quarter 2023 was $7.0 million, compared with net income of $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. Expenses after gross profit were primarily due to ongoing investments the Company made to bolster its growth strategy. The largest drivers over the prior year period were:

  • $4.3 million in general and administrative expense, which represented a decrease of $0.8 million, attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher insurance expense;
  • $8.9 million in salaries and related benefits, which represented a $1.0 million increase, driven by increased headcount to support the Company's growth in the past year, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation;
  • $1.0 million in professional fees, which represented a $0.3 million increase, primarily related to approximately $0.5 million in non-recurring legal fees in the current period; and
  • $0.2 million in other income/(expense), net, which represented a decrease of $24.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in the gain related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $28.6 million, offset by a loss on contingent liability of $3.4 million occurring in the prior year.

Net loss of $7.0 million in the third quarter 2023, adjusted for non-cash and certain one-time items, resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.6 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2022. Refer to the Appendix for definitions and full reconciliations.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company held $57.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, most of which is expected to be used for operations and debt service.

For further details of the Company’s financials, please see Charge Enterprises’ Form 10-Q to be filed on November 8, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on Charge’s website Charge | SEC Filings.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, the Company has supplemented the presentation of its financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with the following financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to assist in making business decisions and assessing overall performance. The Company’s measurement of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled financial measures used by others and therefore may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to the GAAP measures in the tables included within this material.

Certain information presented in this press release reflects adjustments to GAAP measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an additional way of assessing certain aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of its on-going business. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, income (loss) from investments, net, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, other (income) expense, net, and foreign exchange gain (loss).

As it related to future projections for the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA described above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measure or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, income or loss from investments, change in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign exchange gain (loss).
