Key Financial Metrics

Note: Q3 2025 Net Loss was significantly reduced by a non-cash gain on the settlement of acquisition consideration.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Mix Shift: While Q3 2025 total revenue increased 7% year-over-year, the nine-month revenue decreased 20%. This decline is driven by a 44% drop in product sales ($35.9M vs $64.5M), partially offset by a 46% increase in charging service revenue ($22.2M vs $15.2M) and a 34% increase in network fees.
• Profitability Improvement: The Net Loss for Q3 2025 narrowed dramatically to $86k from $87.4M in Q3 2024. This improvement is primarily due to a $11.7M gain on the change in fair value and settlement of consideration payable related to the Envoy Technologies acquisition, and the absence of the $69.1M goodwill impairment recorded in Q3 2024.
• Cost Reductions: Compensation expenses decreased 24% in Q3 and 19% in the nine-month period due to the "Blink Forward" initiative and personnel reductions. General and administrative expenses also declined 32% in Q3.
• Liquidity Decline: Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $41.8M at year-end 2024 to $23.1M at September 30, 2025. Marketable securities were fully liquidated ($13.6M sold).

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Going Concern Warning: Management has concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance date. Current cash resources are deemed insufficient to fund operations without a near-term capital infusion or significant improvement in operating cash flow.
• Strategic Actions: Management is evaluating cost-reduction initiatives, asset sales, restructuring, and fundraising opportunities. The company sold 681,330 shares via an "at-the-market" program for net proceeds of $0.9M in the first nine months of 2025.
• Acquisitions:
  • Zemetric: Acquired 100% of Zemetric, Inc. on July 7, 2025, for approximately $3.6M (cash, stock, and earn-out). Zemetric focuses on fleet and multi-family charging infrastructure.
  • Envoy Technologies: Fully satisfied remaining payment obligations to former Envoy shareholders in Q3 2025 via the issuance of 9.7M shares and warrants, resulting in a significant non-cash gain.
• Legal Proceedings: A shareholder derivative lawsuit was settled in October 2025, requiring corporate governance reforms but no monetary payment from directors. An arbitration regarding commission claims with the Farkas Group is ongoing, with an anticipated final award of less than $100,000.
• Controls: Disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, though remediation efforts are ongoing.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Runway: Verify the timeline and probability of securing additional capital given the explicit "substantial doubt" going concern warning.
• Revenue Sustainability: Assess the sustainability of the shift from product sales to recurring service revenue, noting the 44% drop in product sales over nine months.
• Non-Recurring Gains: Confirm that the Q3 2025 net loss reduction is driven by the one-time $11.7M gain on settlement of acquisition liabilities, not operational profitability.
• Inventory Valuation: Review the $4.6M provision for slow-moving and obsolete inventory and the $4.1M write-off of non-performing chargers recorded in the nine-month period.
• Internal Controls: Monitor progress on remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
