2022 Net Revenue Increased 4.3% to $8.9 million
Expanded Product Lineup, Increased Average Selling Price, Refined Go-to-Market Strategy, and Built Foundation for Accelerated Growth via New Production Capacity
FREEHOLD, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cenntro Electric Group Limited (NASDAQ: CENN) (“Cenntro” or “the Company”), a leading EV technology company with advanced, market- validated electric commercial vehicles (“ECVs”), today announced its financial results for the second half and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Full Year Financial and Operating Highlights
- Net revenue of $8.9 million increased 4.3% year over year on higher average selling prices and expanded go-to-market strategy that includes a direct in-country sales model.
- Expanded product lineup with four new vehicles for Europe and North America.
- Homologated two new vehicles and began shipping vehicles in Europe.
- Received both EPA and California Air Resources Board’s (“CARB”) Certificate of Conformation for LS400 for the U.S. market.
- Expanded vehicle direct in-country distribution and go-to-market service infrastructure.
- Expanded vehicle assembly capacity in the U.S., Europe and China.
“In 2022, our management team has worked tirelessly to carefully navigate numerous challenges which affected our industry last year, including global supply chain issues, closed ports in China due to China’s “ZERO Covid-19 Policy”, Covid-related quarantines and lock-downs, and extended timelines required to achieve country-by-country homologations including U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) certifications and state-level certifications such as the California Air Resources Board’s (“CARB”) certification for zero-emission vehicle in the state of California. Despite these challenges, we made significant progress towards our goal of becoming a leading designer and manufacturer of electric commercial vehicles,” said Peter Wang, Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout 2022, we significantly expanded our product lineup with four new vehicles for the European and North American markets with the introduction of the LS100, LS260, LS300 and LS400. We also successfully homologated the LS260 and LS100 and began shipping in Europe and received the EPA’s Certificate of Conformity for our LS400 in December 2022. On June 23, our LS 400 received certification from the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) as a zero-emission vehicle in the state of California. The certification is awarded to vehicle manufacturers who meet specific emissions standards in compliance with CARB’s regulations. Having received credentials from CARB and the EPA, Cenntro can now sell its LS400 in every state throughout the United States.
“Further, we expanded our go-to-market strategy from a distributor model to now include an in-country direct sales model. We have launched eight EV centers across the U.S., Poland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and the Dominican Republic. Going forward, we believe our in-country direct sales team will allow us to better control both the sales process as well as the after-sales service support to our dealers and customers. Our regional teams can provide varied amounts of support to regional dealers in areas including pricing, sales margins, inventory, customer experience, and marketing strategy.
“These major investments and milestone achievements will set a strong foundation to accelerate our growth and marks a major turning point for Cenntro to capture our market potential. I am confident that with our production, distribution, and service support infrastructure capabilities, we are poised to rapidly accelerate commercialization and momentum in the months ahead,” concluded Wang.
Edmond Cheng, Chief Financial Officer added, “From a financial perspective we navigated a challenging business, capital, and credit market environment in 2022. Because the Company relies on China for its supply chain, the Company continued to be impacted by China’s zero-covid policies, which were in place until the end of the year. Particularly, it impacted our ability to cost effectively source key components from suppliers due to supply chain disruptions and significantly higher freight costs. While a number of our peers pursued their growth plan to achieve sufficient scale, we made note of the noticeable drawbacks, including an acceleration of their cash burn rate in a very challenging capital and credit market. This type of overly ambitious production ramp-up would appear to have placed too heavy a burden of working capital requirements on the financial condition of our peers. Instead, our approach focused on building fundamentals including generating our global demand capabilities through investments in our eight Electric Vehicle Centers and the completion of the acquisition of Tropos Motors Europe GmbH to now become Cenntro Automotive Europe. At the same time, we tightly controlled our costs. One of management’s guiding principles at Cenntro is frugality, including many of us taking on multiple roles and responsibilities.
“Sales volume of our electric commercial vehicles decreased 50.1% year-over-year to 458 compared to 918 in 2021. We achieved an increase of 23.4% to 337 units for the first half of 2022 compared to 273 units in the first half of 2021. However, due to challenges including, but not limited to, the shutdown of ports in China during the second half of 2022, change to our go-to-market model in the United States which impacted sales of the Metro® in the United States, and the extended time needed to fully homologate our LS400 in the U.S. Our sales volume in the second half of 2022 declined by 81.2% to 121 units from 645 units in the same period of 2021. This decline in volume was more than compensated for by the increase in average selling price (“ASP”) from approximately $7.9 thousand in 2021 to approximately $18.0 thousand in 2022, an increase of 126.5%. Our improvement in ASP was driven by our transition to an in-country direct sales model and the launch of new models including the LS200 and Teemak. As a result, full year revenue for 2022 increased by 4.3% to $8.9 million. At the end of 2022, we had approximately $154M in cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet. We also had $31.8 million in inventory which consisted of approximately $19.8 million in finished goods inventory ready to be launched in 2023.
“We are also working diligently to finalize and file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and to re-establish timely financial reporting as soon as possible.
“As we look into 2023, we are confident that some of these challenges are behind us, and we look forward to providing an update on our progress throughout 2023,” concluded Cheng.
Second Half 2022 Business Highlights
- Announced the launch of six Electric Vehicle Centers in support of our global distribution system including an expansion in Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey, Morocco, and the Dominican Republic.
- Logistar 400 All-Electric commercial vehicle received EPA’s Certificate of Conformity.
- Commenced shipment of LS260 and LS100 vans to European markets.
- Completed construction of advanced lithium-ion battery facility in Mexico.
- Herne, Germany factory began assembly of Metro and Teemak product lines.
- Commenced shipments of LS200 vans and cargo trucks to the European market.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Net Revenues
Net revenue was $8.9 million in 2022, an increase of 4.3% from $8.6 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the launch of the LS 200 in the European market and an improvement in ASP.
Gross Profit/(Loss)
Gross loss was $0.5 million in 2022, compared with gross profit of $1.5 million in 2021. Gross margin was negative 5.7% in 2022, compared with 17.5% in 2021. The decrease in our gross profit was caused by (i) the additional inventory write-down of approximately $0.9 million representing approximately 10.8% of revenues of vehicle sales; (ii) a decrease in gross profit margin, excluding inventory write-down, of our Metro model from a gross margin of approximately 32.6% in 2021 to approximately 12.7% in 2022 reflecting additional costs in quality improvements and higher shipping costs in 2022; (iii) the realized gross margin of our newly introduced model Logistar 200 was approximately 21.0%.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $54.7 million in 2022, compared with $18.0 million in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by headcount growth, increased marketing events and travel expenses as we expand globally as well as increased research and development expenses to broaden our product portfolio.
Net Loss Attributable to the Company’s Shareholders
Net loss was $110.1 million in 2022, compared with net loss of $16.4 million in 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA1
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $43.2 million in 2022, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of negative $7.0 million in 2021.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $154.0 million as of December 31, 2022, compared with $261.1 million as of December 31, 2021.
Second Half 2022 Financial Results
Net Revenue
Net revenue was $3.9 million in the second half of 2022, compared with $6.1 million in the second half of 2021. The decrease was due to the reduction in the sales volume of Metro EVs being partially offset by the increase in the sales volume of the new Logistar™ 200.
Gross Profit/(Loss)
Gross loss was $1.0 million in the second half of 2022, compared with gross profit of $1.1 million in the second half of 2021. Gross margin was negative 26.8% in the second half of 2022, compared with 17.2% in the second half of 2021. The change in gross margin was primarily due to the increase of inventory write-down, a decrease in our Metro model gross margin reflecting additional costs in quality improvements, higher shipping costs, and a competitive pricing strategy for our newly introduced Logistar 200.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses were $30.0 million in the second half of 2022, compared with $13.0 million in the second half of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by headcount growth, increased marketing and travel expenses as we expand globally as well as increased research and development expenses to broaden our product portfolio.
Net Loss Attributable to the Company’s Shareholders
Net loss was $87.7 million in the second half of 2022, compared with net loss of $11.9 million in the second half of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA1
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $30.2 million in the second half of 2022, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of negative $4.0 million in the second half of 2021.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss)/income before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring expenses. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our industry peers because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.
