“2022 was a milestone year for Blink, highlighted by revenue that nearly tripled, substantially improved gross margin performance, and the strategic acquisitions and integrations of SemaConnect and EB Charging, which significantly enhanced our global presence. The addition of SemaConnect, also provided us with vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities in the U.S., qualifying Blink for Buy American eligibility and incentives. Blink’s record topline performance throughout 2022 outpaced our industry and demonstrates our ability to drive organic growth for our EV charging products and services as well as the strength of the strategic acquisitions which have extended our recognition and reach worldwide,” commented Michael D. Farkas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “EV adoption represented 10% of all vehicles sold globally in 2022, and the important data point to watch is the trendline – EV adoption grew by 65% for the year and continues to gain traction among car buyers. As more EVs take to the road, Blink has the high-tech network, suite of equipment for any deployment landscape, flexible ownership models and reputation as a reliable provider, which uniquely position us to capitalize on the accelerating transition to electrified transportation.

| --- |

“To highlight our competitive strength, we are the only fully vertically integrated EV charging provider in the U.S. It is common in the charging industry to provide either products or services, but Blink has a fully redesigned and upgraded network and we design, manufacture and deploy chargers while also offering flexible business models to best serve our customers and partners. Our business models range from simply providing the equipment and access to the network for a one-time installation fee; to our hybrid model where we provide hardware, software and maintenance services and share revenue with the site host; to our owner operator model, where we provide installation and equipment and are responsible for the ongoing operation of the chargers, creating long-term recurring revenue for Blink. Our ability to provide high quality equipment and a network featuring market-leading architecture, combined with our flexible business models, makes us attractive to new customers and allows us to effectively service our existing clients. We’ve built a strong foundation for growth and the expansion of our leadership in the EV charging industry, both domestically and internationally.”

Mr. Farkas concluded, “We are energized by the opportunities we’re seeing in the marketplace. As previously announced, we’re expanding and scaling our manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. to ensure we have the equipment to service the anticipated exponential growth in demand for charging infrastructure and we were especially pleased to have these efforts recognized earlier this month in the White House announcement of the New Standards and Major Progress for a Made-in-America National Network of Electric Vehicle Chargers. We remain focused on aggressively competing for a share of the $7.5 billion in government funding earmarked for EV infrastructure buildout, with the goal of continuing to increase our role in facilitating the transition to EVs by ensuring there are reliable charging solutions for every venue including retail, public and home location as well as fleets.

“We enter 2023 in a strong position, thanks to our operational success in 2022 and the recent offering which generated gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. With our financial flexibility we are confident in our strategy to drive organic growth through the deployment of chargers in high density, highly trafficked locations worldwide, as well as through acquisitions or investment in businesses, products and technology that complement our offerings and can enhance our growth strategy. We look forward to continuing to expand and elevate our leadership role in the EV revolution.”

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 are 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 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 Co. before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, and 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 stock-based compensation expense, 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.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted EPS”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EPS reflects adjustments to reported diluted earnings per share (“GAAP EPS”) to eliminate amortization expense of intangible assets from acquisitions, acquisition-related costs and additional stock-based compensation expense.

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.
