ChargePoint Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

 

   

Fiscal Year 2021 revenue of $146 million, exceeding forecast

 

   

Completed business combination with Switchback Energy Acquisition Corporation; began trading on the NYSE on March 1, 2021

 

   

Increased total cash balance to $615 million at the close of the business combination to fund growth initiatives

Campbell, Calif. – March 11, 2021 ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CHPT) (the “Company” or “ChargePoint”), a world-leading electric vehicle (EV) charging network, today announced fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2021 financial results.

“Last year the global EV sector continued to show strength as EV sales grew despite a slow overall vehicle market, bolstered by policy trends that continued to accelerate the shift to electric in North America and Europe,” said Pasquale Romano, President and CEO of ChargePoint. “In 2020, we continued to strengthen our market leadership position and expect our growth to be fueled by dozens of new EV models anticipated in 2021 across a wide range of segments and price points. With a strong balance sheet and a capital light business model, ChargePoint is well positioned to create shareholder value through broad attachment to the electrification of mobility for fleet and consumer vehicle markets.”

Financial Highlights

 

   

Revenue. For the fourth quarter that ended January 31, 2021, revenue was $42.4 million compared to $43.2 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year period. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, revenue was $146.5 million, up from $144.5 million in the prior year period.

 

   

Gross Margin. Fourth quarter GAAP (as defined below) gross margin was 21.0%, up from 20.4% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Fourth quarter non-GAAP gross margin was 21.6% compared to 20.5% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Fiscal year 2021 GAAP gross margin was 22.5%, a 10 percentage point improvement over gross margin of 12.5% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin for fiscal 2021 was 22.6%, compared to 12.5% in the prior year period.

 

   

Net loss. Fourth quarter GAAP net loss was $90.7 million compared to $33.8 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year, primarily due to a change in fair value of the company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability. Fourth quarter non-GAAP net loss was $33.6 million compared to $32.5 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Fiscal year 2021 GAAP net loss was $197.0 million compared to $134.3 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the fiscal fourth quarter warrant charge. Non-GAAP net loss for fiscal 2021 was $117.8 million compared to $129.9 million in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance

ChargePoint provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.

The Company expects revenue for fiscal 2022 of $195 - $205 million, consistent with its previously published estimates, and representing 37% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

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 of 2022 and fiscal 2022. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made in this press release, including: developments and changes in the general market, the continuing impact of COVID-19, political, economic, and business conditions; our limited operating history as a public company; 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; our ability to expand 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 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 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”). The Company 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 the Company’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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company’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 Margin. ChargePoint defines non-GAAP gross margin as gross margin excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring costs associated with a restructuring.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. ChargePoint defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss, excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation-expense and the associated share-based payroll tax expense, non-recurring costs associated with restructuring, acquisitions and litigation settlements, and non-cash charges related to the revaluation of warrants and other financial instruments. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

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 share-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 the Company’s operating results.
