Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary

RevenuesFor the second quarter of 2023, Beam Global reported record revenues of $17.8 million, a 379% increase over the same period in 2022 and a 37% increase over the prior quarter. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from growth in deliveries to federal agencies. In addition, we generated record revenues of $2.1 million from our energy storage sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our revenue increased 312% to $30.8 million compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2022. International customers, primarily from our energy storage business, contributed 10% of the year-to-date revenues.

Gross ProfitGross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $0.5 million, or 3% of sales, compared to a gross loss of $0.3 million, or 9% of sales in the second quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit improved by 12% primarily due to the increase in production levels compared to the prior year which resulted in favorable fixed overhead absorption and also as a result of improved vendor pricing, labor efficiency and engineering improvements. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our gross profit was $0.5 million, or 2% of sales, compared to a gross loss of $0.5 million, or 8% of sales in 2022. As a percentage of sales, the margin improved by 10%, primarily due to the increase in production levels in the current quarter compared to the prior year.

Operating ExpensesOperating Expenses were $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an improvement of 44% of revenue, year over year. Operating expenses increased by $0.5 million for non-cash contingent consideration related to the All Cell acquisition, $0.4 million for sales and marketing expenses, $0.4 million for non-cash compensation expense and $0.2 million for admin salaries and bonus accrual. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, total operating expenses were $7.9 million or 26% of revenues compared to $4.5 million, or 60% of revenues for the same period in 2022, an improvement of 34% as a percentage of revenues. The first six months of 2022 only included four months of expenses for our battery operation based on a March 2022 acquisition. In addition, increases are primarily attributable to $0.7 million for non-cash compensation expenses, $0.6 million for administrative salaries and bonus accrual, $0.5 million non-cash for the change in fair value of contingent consideration and $0.4 million for investment in R&D salaries and expenses.

Net LossNet loss was $3.5 million, or 20% of revenue for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.8 million, or 75% of revenue, for the same period in 2022. Net Loss was $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $5.1 million for the first six months of 2022. The year-to-date net loss included non-cash expense items such as depreciation, intellectual property amortization and non-cash compensation expense of $2.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Net loss excluding these non-cash expenses was $5.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

Cash and Working CapitalOn June 30, 2023, we had cash of $23.7 million, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2022. The cash increase was primarily due to the Capital Raise and offset by operating losses and increased accounts receivable due to the increased revenues. Our working capital increased from $6.8 million to $37.1 million from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The working capital balance is increased by the $28 million Capital Raise in June and increased accounts receivable based on increased sales.
