ChargePoint Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

 
Second quarter fiscal 2024 revenue of $150 million representing 39% year-over-year growth
GAAP gross margin of 1% and Non-GAAP gross margin of 3%, reflecting 19 percentage point margin impact from inventory impairment charge
Reduction of estimated $30 million in annualized operating expenses
Third quarter fiscal 2024 revenue guidance of $150 - $165 million, and annual revenue guidance of $605 - $630 million
Company reaffirms plan to achieve positive Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2024
Campbell, Calif. – September 6, 2023 ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CHPT) (“ChargePoint”), a leading provider of networked solutions for charging electric vehicles (EVs), today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended July 31, 2023.
“In the second quarter, ChargePoint delivered solid growth. Our revenue of $150 million represents a 39% year-over-year increase despite a hesitant economy,” said Pasquale Romano, President and CEO of ChargePoint. “In the quarter we fortified our access to working capital with a $150 million revolving credit facility and $38 million raised via our "at-the-market" offering. We took an inventory impairment charge to address a significant supply-chain related issue, and we announced an estimated $30 million in annualized operating expense savings from reorganizing the business for agility, efficiency and scale. We remain committed to delivering on our goal of generating positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA by the end of calendar 2024.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Overview
Revenue. Second quarter revenue was $150.5 million, up 39% from $108.3 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Networked charging systems revenue for the second quarter was $114.6 million, up 36% from $84.1 million in the prior year’s same quarter. Subscription revenue was $30.0 million, up 48% from $20.2 million in the prior year’s same quarter.
Gross Margin. Second quarter GAAP gross margin was 1%, down from 17% in the prior year's same quarter, and non-GAAP gross margin was 3%, down from 19% in the prior year's same quarter, in both cases primarily due to a $28.0 million, or 19 percentage point, inventory impairment charge. This inventory impairment charge was taken to address legacy supply chain-related costs and supply overruns on a particular DC product.
Net Income/Loss. Second quarter GAAP net loss was $125.3 million, up from $92.7 million in the prior year's same quarter. Non-GAAP pre-tax net loss was $86.1 million as compared to $62.3 million in the prior year's same quarter, both reflecting the $28.0 million inventory impairment charge. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss was $81.2 million also reflects this inventory impairment charge in the second quarter, as compared to $56.2 million in the prior year's same quarter.
Liquidity. As of July 31, 2023, cash on the balance sheet was $263.9 million, which includes $37.7 million of at-the-market share offering gross proceeds during the second quarter.
Shares Outstanding. As of July 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 360 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Reorganization
Today ChargePoint announced the reorganization of its operations including a reduction of ChargePoint's current global workforce by approximately 10% (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization is expected to lead to approximately $8 million in charges, consisting primarily of severance benefits and facility-related expenses to be incurred primarily during the Company's third fiscal quarter. The Reorganization is expected to result in annual operating expense savings of approximately $30 million.
Third Quarter, Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance
For the third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2023, ChargePoint expects:
Revenue of $150 million to $165 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 26% as compared to the prior year.
Non-GAAP gross margin of 22 to 25%.
Non-GAAP operating expenses of $81 million to $84 million.
For the fourth fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2024, ChargePoint expects non-GAAP operating expenses of $79 million to $82 million.
For the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, ChargePoint expects revenue of $605 million to $630 million. At the midpoint, this represents an anticipated increase of 32% as compared to the prior year.

Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes items such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, professional services fees associated with acquisitions and registration filings, non-cash charges related to tax liabilities, non-recurring restructuring costs, and non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of assumed common stock warrant liabilities, and is further adjusted for provision of income taxes, depreciation, interest income and expense, and other income and expense (net). 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, GAAP operating expenses and 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 third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2023, fourth fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2024, full fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, our plans to be non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA positive by the end of calendar 2024, and anticipated charges and annual expense savings resulting from the Reorganization. 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-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 8, 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 financial information in this press release 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 the Company believes 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 and registration filings, non-cash charges related to tax liabilities, 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 and registration filings, non-cash charges related to tax liabilities, 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 and registration filings, non-cash charges related to tax liabilities, 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.
