Bowie, MD, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink”), a leading global owner, operator, provider, and manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The following top-line highlights are in thousands of dollars and preliminary.

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2025					2024						Change
Product Sales	$	8,381				$	27,508				(69.5		%)
Service Revenues (1)		10,581					8,189				29.2		%
Other Revenues (2)		1,792					1,871				(4.2		%)
Total Revenues	$	20,754				$	37,568				(44.8		%)

(1) Service Revenues consist of charging service revenues, network fees, and car-sharing service revenues.
(2) Other Revenues consist of warranty fees, grants and rebates, and other revenues.

“While first quarter revenue fell short of expectations primarily due to the uncertain economic climate impacting customers’ discretionary spending decisions, we remain confident in the essential growth of EV charging infrastructure globally. Blink's advanced solutions and flexible offerings strongly position us to capitalize on this expansion. Encouragingly, charging revenue grew by 35% in the quarter, demonstrating continued momentum primarily driven by the increased utilization of Blink chargers. Network fees grew by 27% and we made significant progress reducing operating expenses. Following the close of the quarter we saw improved order activity during April, and we anticipate sequential consolidated revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025.

“We recently announced our innovative collaboration with Create Energy, which introduces a unique, turnkey NanoGrid^™ solution with energy storage to enhance reliability and accelerate deployments of our DCFC installations. For our customers, this solution provides simplified integration and can reduce total cost of ownership. This new offering reinforces Blink’s commitment to expanding our market presence and capabilities into advanced energy management solutions,” commented Mike Battaglia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging.

Business Outlook

Based on current visibility, Blink expects revenue to increase sequentially in the second quarter of 2025 and to show continued growth in the second half of 2025. Service revenue is expected to continue to increase throughout 2025.

The Company also remains focused on continuing to reduce operating expenses and cash burn across its business as it drives toward profitability. Blink expects to have improved visibility around its timeline to reach adjusted EBITDA profitability as the year progresses.

Blink Charging Co. publicly reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). To facilitate external analysis of the Company’s operating performance, Blink Charging also presents financial information that is considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income (Loss) or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than those presented by other companies, including Blink Charging’s competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are presented above.

EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) attributable to Blink Charging before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Blink Charging believes EBITDA is useful to its management, securities analysts, and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps Blink Charging’s management, securities analysts, and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company’s operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its merger and acquisition expenses, financing transactions, and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results.

The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items such as stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to sale of underperforming assets of subsidiary, change in fair value related to consideration payable, is useful to securities analysts and investors to evaluate the Company’s core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net Loss, and Diluted Earnings per Share.
