“Q2 has been another quarter of records at Beam Global,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam. “Our sales are up, our efficiencies are improving and we have the highest contracted backlog and sales pipeline in our history. First half revenues are more than double this time last year and we have no indication that this momentum is going to let up. We continue to make progress on our integration of the battery company we bought earlier this year with sales, revenues and the first deployments of our new internally produced battery solution in our EV ARC systems. With first half revenues exceeding any prior full year except ’21 and all the other improvements we are making I am excited by what I expect the Beam Team will make happen during the remainder of 2022. ”

Second Fiscal Quarter 2022 Financial Summary

Revenues
Beam Global reported record second quarter revenues of $3.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2022, compared to $2.1 million in the same period in the prior year, an increase of 75%. For the first six months of 2022, we reported record first half revenues of $7.5 million, a 114% increase over $3.5 million reported for the same period in 2021. Revenues included $1.4 million for energy storage in the second quarter and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of closing the acquisition of All Cell Technologies, LLC (“All Cell”) in early March.

Gross Loss
Gross loss in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.3 million. Gross loss for the first six months of 2022 was $0.6 million, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of sales, the gross loss improved by four percentage points for the quarter and year to date, reflecting favorable fixed overhead absorption and improved labor efficiency due to the increase in production levels. This was partially offset by an increase in material costs for steel and other components due to supply chain shortages and other inflationary pressures.

Operating Expenses
Operating Expenses were $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $4.5 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to the addition of All Cell expenses and increased legal and accounting services partially due to the acquisition. Increases in other operating expenses were mostly offset by a favorable change in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Cash and Working Capital
At June 30, 2022, we had cash of $13.8 million, compared to $21.9 million at December 31, 2021. The cash decrease was primarily from increases in inventory and prepayments to vendors to secure battery cells for production and higher work in process inventory as well as the net loss. Our working capital decreased from $24.6 million to $19.4 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
