ChargePoint reports first quarter fiscal year 2024 financial results

First quarter fiscal 2024 revenue of $130 million representing 59% year-over-year growth

  • Gross margin increases to 23% GAAP and 25% Non-GAAP
  • Plans to reduce Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss approximately two-thirds by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter
  • ChargePoint guides to second quarter fiscal year 2024 revenue of $148 - $158 million

 

ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CHPT) (“ChargePoint”), a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, today reported results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2023.

“ChargePoint delivered strong results in the first quarter, growing at nearly 60% year-over-year. We focused on delivering our broad portfolio of charging solutions across North America and Europe, while continuing to improve gross margins, and managing operating expenses,” said Pasquale Romano, President and CEO of ChargePoint. “The positive first quarter results are a testament to the strength and diversity of our business. As the only charging network to operate across all verticals in North America and Europe, we believe we remain well positioned to take advantage of the inevitable long-term growth opportunity ahead.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Overview

  • Revenue. First quarter revenue was $130.0 million, up 59% from $81.6 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Networked charging systems revenue for the first quarter was $98.3 million, up 65% from $59.6 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Subscription revenue was $26.4 million, up 49% from $17.6 million in the prior year’s same quarter.
  • Gross Margin. First quarter GAAP gross margin was 23%, up from 15% in the prior year's same quarter. First quarter non-GAAP gross margin, which primarily excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization from acquired intangible assets, was 25%, up from 17% in the prior year's same quarter.
  • Net Income/Loss. First quarter GAAP net loss was $79.4 million, down from $89.3 million in the prior year's same quarter. Non-GAAP pre-tax net loss in the first quarter, which primarily excludes $24.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, $3.0 million amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and other items, was $52.8 million as compared to $71.7 million in the prior year's same quarter. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss, which primarily excludes stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, was $48.9 million in the first quarter, as compared to $67.1 million in the prior year's same quarter.
  • Liquidity. As of April 30, 2023, cash on the balance sheet was $313.7 million, which includes $17.7 million of at-the-market share offering gross proceeds during the first quarter.
  • Shares Outstanding. As of April 30, 2023, there were approximately 353 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Guidance

For the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2023, ChargePoint expects revenue of $148 million to $158 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 41% over the prior year’s same quarter.

ChargePoint is not able to present a reconciliation of its forward-looking Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss projection to the corresponding GAAP measure because certain potential future adjustments, which may be significant and may include, among other items, stock-based compensation expense, are uncertain or out of its control, or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on ChargePoint's GAAP Net Loss.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions including statements regarding our financial outlook for the second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024 and our plans to reduce fourth fiscal quarter Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made in this press release, including: macroeconomic trends including changes in or sustained inflation, prolonged and sustained increases in interest rates, or other events beyond our control on the overall economy which may reduce demand for our products and services, geopolitical events and conflicts, adverse impacts to our business and those of our customers and suppliers, including due to supply chain disruptions, component shortages, and associated logistics expense increases; our limited operating history as a public company; our ability as an organization to successfully acquire and integrate other companies, products or technologies in a successful manner; our dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of EVs and increased demand for installation of charging stations; our current dependence on sales of charging stations for most of our revenues; overall demand for EV charging and the potential for reduced demand for EVs if governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives are reduced, modified or eliminated or governmental mandates to increase the use of EVs or decrease the use of vehicles powered by fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly through mandated limits on carbon emissions, are reduced, modified or eliminated; our reliance on contract manufacturers, including those located outside the United States, may result in supply chain interruptions, delays and expense increases which may adversely affect our sales, revenue and gross margins; our ability to expand our operations and market share in Europe; the need to attract additional fleet operators as customers; potential adverse effects on our revenue and gross margins due to delays and costs associated with new product introductions, inventory obsolescence, component shortages and related expense increases; adverse impact to our revenues and gross margins if customers increasingly claim clean energy credits and, as a result, they are no longer available to be claimed by us; the effects of competition; risks related to our dependence on our intellectual property; and the risk that our technology could have undetected defects or errors. Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 3, 2023, which is available on our website at investors.chargepoint.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made, except as required by applicable law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

ChargePoint has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). ChargePoint uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results. ChargePoint believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and believes they provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding ChargePoint’s underlying operating performance because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, its core operating results.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with ChargePoint’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of ChargePoint’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit (Gross Margin). ChargePoint defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses (includes Non-GAAP research and development, Non-GAAP sales and marketing and Non-GAAP general and administrative). ChargePoint defines Non-GAAP cost of revenue and operating expenses as cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, professional services fees associated with acquisitions, non-recurring restructuring costs and non-cash charges related to the fair value of assumed common stock warrant liabilities.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. ChargePoint defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, professional services fees associated with acquisitions, non-recurring restructuring costs, and non-cash charges related to change in fair value of assumed common stock warrant liabilities. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects. Non-GAAP pre-tax net loss is non-GAAP net loss adjusted for provision for income taxes.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss. ChargePoint defines non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, professional services fees associated with acquisitions, non-recurring restructuring costs, and non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of assumed common stock warrant liabilities, and further adjusted for provision of income taxes, depreciation, interest income and expense, and other income and expense (net).

Investors are cautioned that there are a number of limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures to analyze financial results and trends. In particular, many of the adjustments to ChargePoint’s GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in its financial results for the foreseeable future, such as stock-based compensation, which is an important part of ChargePoint’s employees’ compensation and impacts hiring, retention and performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP, and the components that ChargePoint excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that other companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results. In the future, ChargePoint may also exclude other expenses it determines do not reflect the performance of ChargePoint’s operating results.
