We have added a fantastic team of over two hundred employees, over thirty of them advanced engineers who are already working with our American employees as one company. Three weeks after closing the acquisition we are manufacturing the first EV ARC™ parts in our European facilities. Our European sales team is visiting existing customers across Europe and presenting Beam Global’s clean tech portfolio. The reception has been exceptional. The Beam Team has delivered triple digit percentage growth in the US this year. I am now enthusiastically anticipating Beam Europe’s contribution to the effort. The market is bigger and the reasons for owning Beam Global products even more acute. We are now selling and producing in markets with two thirds of the world’s automobiles where clean and reliable electricity is more important every day. Perfect and fertile ground for Beam Global.”

    Third Quarter 2023 Financial Summary

    Revenues
    For the third quarter of 2023, Beam Global reported revenues of $16.5 million, a 149% increase over the same period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our revenue increased 236% to $47.3 million compared to $14.1 million for the same period in 2022. The year-to-date revenue growth is primarily attributable to an increase in federal, state and local government revenues.

    Gross Profit
    Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million, or 2% of sales, compared to a gross loss of $0.3 million, or 5% of sales in the third quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit improved by 7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our gross profit was $0.8 million, or 2% of sales, compared to a gross loss of $1.0 million, or 7% of sales in 2022. As a percentage of sales, the margin improved by 9%. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to the increase in production levels compared to the prior year which resulted in favorable fixed overhead absorption, as well as improved vendor pricing, labor efficiency and engineering improvements.

    Operating Expenses
    Operating Expenses were $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an improvement of 73% of revenue, year over year. Operating expenses decreased by $3.9 million for non-cash contingent consideration related to the All Cell acquisition, partially offset by increases for sales commission and non-cash compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total operating expenses were $11.9 million or 25% of revenues compared to $10.9 million, or 78% of revenues for the same period in 2022, an improvement of 52% as a percentage of revenues. The first nine months of 2022 included 7 months of expenses for our battery operation based on a March 2022 acquisition. 2023 Cost increases are primarily attributable to non-cash compensation expenses, administrative salaries and bonus accrual, sales and marketing expenses including commission accrual, and investment in R&D salaries and expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.9 million for non-cash contingent consideration related to the All Cell acquisition.

    Net Loss
    Net loss was $3.6 million, or 22% of revenue for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.8 million, or 103% of revenue, for the same period in 2022. Net Loss was $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $11.9 million for the first nine 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 $3.0 million in 2023 and $5.2 million in 2022.

    Cash and Working Capital
    On September 30, 2023, we had cash of $14.8 million, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2022. The cash increase was primarily due to a capital raise in June 2023, offset by increased accounts receivable due to the increased revenues and operating losses. Our working capital increased from $6.8 million to $34.4 million from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The working capital balance is increased by the $25 million net capital raised in June and increased accounts receivable based on increased sales.
