Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 50% year-over-year, driven by a 39% increase in retail charging revenue, a 239% surge in ancillary revenue (partially due to a $25.9 million contract close-out), and a 34% increase in eXtend revenue.
• Profitability Improvement: Gross margin expanded significantly from 11.4% to 21.0%, and the operating loss narrowed by 16% to $110.7 million.
• Debt Financing: The company secured two major financing facilities in 2025:
  • DOE Loan: A $1.248 billion senior secured loan facility with the U.S. Department of Energy. As of year-end, $140.6 million was outstanding with $919.3 million available.
  • Credit Agreement: A $300 million term facility. As of year-end, $65.8 million was outstanding with $159.2 million available.
• Operational Expansion: Network throughput grew 32% to 366 GWh, and the number of DC stalls increased to 3,900.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Regulatory Risks: The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) enacted in July 2025 accelerated the phase-out of federal EV incentives. The 30C income tax credit for EV charging stations is scheduled to expire for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Additionally, the EPA rescinded the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding, creating uncertainty for long-term EV adoption.
• Internal Control Weaknesses: The company identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, specifically regarding process-level controls and general IT controls for charging revenue systems. KPMG issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls. Management has initiated a remediation plan.
• Contractual Obligations: EVgo faces strict milestones under its GM Agreement (2,850 stalls by 2028) and Pilot Infrastructure Agreement. Failure to meet installation targets or uptime requirements could result in liquidated damages (up to $4.8 million for a specific GM quarter as of Feb 2026) or contract termination.
• Supply Chain: The company relies heavily on Delta Electronics for charging equipment (80.5% of total equipment in 2025), creating supply chain concentration risk.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Internal Control Remediation: Verify the progress of the remediation plan for the material weaknesses in financial reporting and IT controls, as this impacts the reliability of future financial data.
• DOE Loan Drawdowns: Monitor the ability to satisfy conditions precedent to draw the remaining $919.3 million from the DOE Loan, which is critical for funding the planned build-out of 7,500 new stalls.
• GM Agreement Milestones: Track quarterly charger stall installation progress against the GM Agreement targets to assess the risk of liquidated damages or termination.
• Tax Credit Expiration: Assess the impact of the June 30, 2026, expiration of the 30C tax credit on future capital expenditure economics and cash flow projections.
• Customer Concentration: Note that one customer represented 30.2% of total revenue in 2025, highlighting dependency on key OEM partnerships.
