Campbell, Calif. – March 2, 2022 ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CHPT) (“ChargePoint”), a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, today reported results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.
“ChargePoint delivered another outstanding quarter, exceeding the high end of both our quarterly and annual revenue guidance and advancing our technology leadership in our commercial, fleet and residential verticals across North America and Europe,” said Pasquale Romano, President and CEO of ChargePoint. “We had numerous successes in our first year as a publicly traded company, including a 65 percent year over year increase in annual revenue, two strategic acquisitions, expansion of our activated port count by over 60 percent, and growing our team of world class talent.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Overview
 
Revenue. For the fourth quarter, revenue was $80.7 million, an increase of 90% from $42.4 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Networked charging systems revenue for the fourth quarter was $59.2 million, an increase of 109% from $28.3 million in the prior year’s same quarter and subscription revenue was $17.2 million, up 57% from $11.0 million in the prior year’s same quarter.

Gross Margin. Fourth quarter GAAP gross margin was 22%, up from 21% in the prior year's same quarter primarily due to the impact of acquisitions. Fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin, which primarily excludes stock-based compensation expense and amortization from acquired intangible assets, was 24% compared to 22% in the prior year's same quarter primarily due to the impact of acquisitions.

Net Income/Loss. Fourth quarter GAAP net loss was $60.5 million, which included a $16.9 million gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and $15.4 million in stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP pre-tax net loss in the fourth quarter, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other items, was $58.5 million as compared to $33.6 million in the prior year's same quarter.
Liquidity. As of January 31, 2022, cash on the balance sheet was $315.6 million.
Shares Outstanding. As of January 31, 2022, there were approximately 335 million shares of common stock outstanding.
Full Fiscal 2022 Financial Overview
Revenue. For the full year, revenue was $242.3 million, an increase of 65% from $146.5 million in the prior year. Networked charging revenue for the full year was $174.4 million, an increase of 90% from $91.9 million and subscription revenue was $53.5 million, up 32% from $40.6 million in the prior year. Subscription growth while strong, lagged growth in networked charging revenue due to product mix and activation lag.

Fiscal 2023 Guidance
ChargePoint provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.
For the first fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2022, ChargePoint expects revenue of $72 million to $77 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 84% as compared to the prior year’s same quarter.
For the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2023, ChargePoint expects:
Revenue of $450 million to $500 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 96% as compared to the prior year
Non-GAAP gross margin of 22% to 26%
Non-GAAP operating expenses of $350 million to $370 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 50% as compared to the prior year
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring costs associated with restructuring, earn-out-related payroll tax expense, professional services fees related to acquisitions and security offerings. ChargePoint is not be able to present a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including stock-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on ChargePoint's GAAP gross margin and GAAP operating expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions including statements regarding our financial outlook for the first fiscal quarter and fiscal year ending January 31, 2023. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made in this press release, including: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, macroeconomic trends including changes in inflation or interest rates, or other events beyond our control on the overall economy, our business and those of our customers and suppliers, including due to supply chain disruptions and expense increases; our limited operating history as a public company;our ability as an organization to successfully integrate ViriCiti and has·to·be and acquire and integrate other companies, products or technologies in a successful manner; our dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of EVs and increased 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; supply chain interruptions and expense increases; unexpected delays in new product introductions; 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 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-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2021, 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 and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing ChargePoint’s financial results with other companies in its industry as well other technology companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.
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 amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring costs associated with restructuring. 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 amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, earn-out-related payroll tax expense, non-recurring costs and professional services fees associated with restructuring, acquisitions and security offerings.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. ChargePoint defines non-GAAP net loss as net income (loss) excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and the associated stock-based payroll tax expense, offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities or for share offerings, professional services fees related to acquisitions and security offerings non-recurring costs and professional services fees associated with restructuring, acquisitions and security offerings, and non-cash charges related to the revaluation of warrants, earn-out liabilities, and other financial instruments. 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.
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. ChargePoint compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. In the future, ChargePoint may also exclude other expenses it determines do not reflect the performance of ChargePoint’s operating results.
