Business Context and Reporting Period

EVgo is a leading provider of public electric vehicle (EV) fast charging infrastructure in the United States, operating a network of over 1,200 stations across 47 states.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 45% year-over-year to $109.5 million. This was driven by a 339% surge in "AV and ancillary" revenue ($20.6 million) due to a $17.2 million recognition from sales-type lease arrangements with a dedicated fleet customer, and a 41% increase in "eXtend" revenue ($33.2 million) from higher construction and hardware sales.
• Charging Network: Core charging network revenue grew 18% to $55.7 million, supported by increased throughput (91 GWh vs. 83 GWh) and a 14% increase in DC stalls (4,000 vs. 3,500).
• Cost Structure: Total cost of sales rose 46% to $96.6 million. "Other" cost of sales increased 118% primarily due to the cost of goods sold associated with the new sales-type lease revenue. Charging network costs rose 20% due to higher energy usage and maintenance.
• Operating Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased 19% to $46.0 million, driven by a $2.8 million impairment expense, higher payroll, and increased software costs.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense jumped 474% to $3.0 million due to higher debt balances on the DOE Loan and the new Credit Agreement.
• Liquidity: Cash and restricted cash decreased by $60.7 million during the quarter due to significant capital expenditures ($30.6 million) and operating cash outflows ($35.4 million).

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• DOE Loan Amendment (Subsequent Event): On April 29, 2026, EVgo amended its DOE Loan facility. The maximum guaranteed loan amount was reduced from ~$1.25 billion to $750 million ($625 million principal + $125 million capitalized interest). The amendment also eliminated a $35 million account funding reserve requirement, allowing $3.6 million to be distributed to the Sponsor.
• Regulatory Risk (30C Credits): The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) enacted in July 2025 accelerates the phase-out of federal EV charging tax credits (Section 30C). These credits will terminate for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Management does not currently expect a material financial impact due to a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to material weaknesses in financial reporting processes and general IT controls related to charging revenue. Remediation efforts are ongoing.
• Market Risks: EV adoption rates have moderated, and third-party forecasts have been revised downward. The company faces competition, supply chain disruptions, and potential tariff impacts on equipment costs.
• Capital Resources: Management believes current cash and restricted cash ($150 million) are sufficient to meet requirements for at least 12 months. The company has $919.3 million remaining available under the DOE Loan and $155.8 million under the Credit Agreement.

Investor Verification Checklist

• DOE Loan Capacity: Verify the impact of the April 2026 amendment reducing the DOE Loan cap to $750 million on future expansion plans and capital deployment.
• 30C Credit Sunset: Assess the timeline and financial impact of the Section 30C credit expiration on June 30, 2026, specifically regarding projects currently in the pipeline.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on fixing the material weaknesses in IT and financial reporting controls to ensure future financial statement reliability.
• Revenue Quality: Analyze the sustainability of the "AV and ancillary" revenue spike, which was heavily influenced by a one-time sales-type lease transaction.
• Cash Burn Rate: Track the $60.7 million quarterly cash burn against the $150 million cash balance to evaluate runway without additional financing.
• Customer Concentration: Note that two customers represented 46.8% of total revenue in Q1 2026, creating significant concentration risk.
