Blink Charging Co

1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Organization and Operations

Blink Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services in the rapidly growing U.S. and international markets for EVs. Blink offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment and services, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its nationwide Blink EV charging networks (the “Blink Networks”) and Blink EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and other EV-related services. The Blink Networks is a proprietary, cloud-based system that operates, maintains and manages Blink charging stations and handles the associated charging data, back-end operations and payment processing. The Blink Networks provide property owners, managers, parking companies, state and municipal entities, and other types of commercial customers (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Networks also provide EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability and fees. Blink also operates an EV based ride-sharing business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Envoy Mobility, Inc.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months then ended. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2024 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Since the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $64,584 and working capital of $96,596 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $87,389 and $124,621, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used cash in operating activities of $34,830.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 8,177,472 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,651, less issuance costs of $581. See Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity.

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. Historically, the Company has been able to raise funds to support its business operations, although there can be no assurance that it will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. The Company expects that its cash on hand will fund its operations for at least 12 months after the issuance date of these financial statements.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financing. The Company believes it has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. The Company is executing its plan designed to improve the Company’s liquidity by enhancing revenue economics, increasing gross profit through product optimization, integration of acquisitions, and reduction of operating expenses through cost avoidance and cost cutting strategies. There can be no assurances that these strategies will be achieved.

INVENTORY

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s inventory was comprised $24,812 of finished goods that were available for sale and $17,500 of raw material and work in process. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $33,902 of finished goods that were available for sale and $14,040 of raw material and work in process.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Transaction losses attributable to foreign exchange were$389 and $434 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Transaction gains attributable to foreign exchange were $144 and $925 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Transaction gains and losses attributable to foreign exchange are included within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

The Company initially measures an asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assesses the fair value of an asset less costs to sell each reporting period that it remains classified as held for sale, and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.

Office Space

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company commenced plans to sell its approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Miami Beach, Florida. The asset is included within property and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. The asset’s carrying value was $3,781 and $3,692 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded a loss on sale of $459 within general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its office space in Miami Beach, Florida for approximately $3,425 of proceeds.

Underperforming Subsidiary

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan for the sale of underperforming assets of a subsidiary. On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell installed and inventory charging units and the associated agreements with existing customers, hosts, and drivers. This transaction was completed and funded on July 3, 2024. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $262 and $945 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected not to present this underperforming subsidiary as discontinued operations because it is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following:

The following table summarizes revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The following table summarizes our revenue recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations by geographical area:

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $32,285 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024. The Company expects to satisfy $16,330 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, warranty revenue, product sales, and other and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense costs to obtain contracts at the time the liability is incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $2,860 and $7,932 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there wasno revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods as specified by ASC 606-10-50-12A.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

REVENUE RECOGNITION – CONTINUED

Grants, rebates and alternative fuel credits, which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful life of the charging station. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $117 and $65 respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $192 and $168, respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits.

Car-sharing services is accounted for under ASC Topic 842, Leases, and pertains to revenues and expenses related to a car-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company accounts for such rentals as operating leases. The lease terms are included in the Company’s contracts, and the determination of whether the Company’s contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments. The Company does not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease.

The Company is unsure of when the customer will return rented equipment. As such, the Company does not know how much the customer will owe it upon return of the equipment and, therefore, cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. The Company’s equipment is generally rented for short periods of time (generally a few minutes to a few hours). Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.

The Company expects to derive significant future benefits from its equipment following the end of the rental term. The Company’s equipment is typically rented for the majority of the time that the Company owns it. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription which are short term in nature.

CONCENTRATIONS

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales to a significant customer represented 16% of total revenue.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made purchases from a significant supplier that represented less than 10% and 17% of total purchases, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made purchases from the same significant supplier that represented 15% and 20% of total purchases, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, accounts payable to a significant vendor represented 10% of total accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, accounts payable to two significant vendors were approximately 16% and 10% of total accounts payable.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 to require more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company considered the decline in its stock price to be an indicator of impairment and, accordingly, performed a quantitative impairment assessment of its goodwill. This assessment involved comparing the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units to the reporting unit’s carrying value, inclusive of the goodwill balance allocated to the reporting unit.

Estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit involved the projection of discounted future cash flows using certain assumptions that are subjective in nature, including assumptions related to historical and market growth rates and gross margin improvements, as well as future operating expense synergies and optimization, among other factors. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024 in certain reporting units. Consequently, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $69,111 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $89,087 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value measurements used in the evaluation described above are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as the measurements involve projections of discounted future cash flows, which are derived from unobservable assumptions, the most subjective of which are the discount rates for each respective reporting unit. The discount rate used in for all reporting units ranged from 19.50% to 23.50% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The discount rate used for all reporting units ranged from 20% to 22.5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the Legacy Blink reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024. Consequently, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $69,111 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the impairment analysis it was determined that the Mobility reporting unit qualifies as “at risk” for impairment. The Company quantitatively defines “at risk” as a percentage of the excess of the reporting unit’s fair value over its carrying amount that is less than 10%. An “at risk” reporting unit qualitatively represents a reporting unit with a higher degree of uncertainty of the reporting unit’s ability to meet its forecasted cash flows based upon revenue growth rate and operating margin assumptions relied upon in the estimation of its fair value. As of September 2024, the Mobility reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value by approximately 4%. The goodwill attributable to the Mobility reporting unit as of September 30, 2024 was $27,536.

Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

JOINT VENTURE

The Company and a group ofthree Cyprus entities entered into a shareholders’ agreement on February 11, 2019, pertaining to the parties’ respective shareholdings in a new joint venture entity, Blink Charging Europe Ltd. (the “Entity”), that was formed under the laws of Cyprus on the same date. The Company owns 40% of the Entity, while the other three parties own 60%. Subsequently, two of the three other parties exited the joint venture, and the remaining other party acquired the ownership of the exiting parties. The Entity currently owns 100% of a Greek subsidiary, Blink Charging Hellas SA (“Hellas”), which operates in the electric vehicle market in Greece. The obligation to fund the Entity’s future operations is limited to the Company’s 40% ownership. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized sales of $36 and $218, respectively, to Hellas. No sales to Hellas were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, the Company had accounts receivable of $34 and $0 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had a payable of approximately $172 and $114, respectively, to Hellas. Furthermore, the Company has provided working capital of $274 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to Hellas. The Company has written off this working capital contribution, since the Company’s proportion of Hellas’s net losses exceeds the working capital contribution.

The Company determined that the Entity is a variable interest entity; however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and, as a result, the Company is not required to consolidate the Entity and instead has applied equity method accounting to its investment in the Entity. From inception through September 30, 2024, the Entity has not generated net income and, as a result, pursuant to ASC 323, the Company has not recorded a gain or loss on its equity method investment in the Entity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Assumptions utilized in the valuation of Level 3 liabilities are described as follows:

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of Level 3 warrant and consideration payable liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The common stock consideration payable is recorded at fair value of $20,929 and $18,118 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included within consideration payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the common stock consideration payable on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the common stock consideration liability.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had purchase commitments of approximately $2,300 which will become payable upon the suppliers’ service of warranty contracts.

LITIGATION, DISPUTES AND SETTLEMENTS

The Company may be subject to lawsuits, investigations, intellectual property matters, claims and proceedings, including, but not limited to, contractual disputes with vendors and customers and liabilities related to employment, health and safety matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss can be complex and subject to change.

The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such lawsuits, investigations, claims, and proceedings as of September 30, 2024, and the Company believes it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the ongoing matters described herein cannot be predicted with certainty. While litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, may potentially have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting period.

In August 2020, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Bush v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23527, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company, Michael Farkas (Blink’s former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), and Michael Rama (Blink’s Chief Financial Officer) (the “Bush Lawsuit”). In September 2020, another purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Vittoria v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23643, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the same defendants and seeking to recover the same alleged damages. Following consolidation of the two actions and the court appointing Tianyou Wu, Alexander Yu and H. Marc Joseph to serve as the Co-Lead Plaintiffs, the Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in February 2021. The Amended Complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about the size and functionality of the Blink Network and asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In April 2021, Blink and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. In November 2023, the court dismissed Co-Lead Plaintiffs’ claims relating to the size of Blink’s charging network and denied the remainder of the motion to dismiss. Following a mediation in April 2024, the parties agreed to the terms of a settlement in which the Defendants agreed to pay $3,750 (inclusive of attorneys’ fees and administrative costs) in exchange for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims. On October 21, 2024, the Court held a final settlement hearing, approved the settlement, dismissed the Bush Lawsuit with prejudice, and closed the case. The full settlement amount has been paid by the Company’s Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policies.

In September 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Klein (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20- 19815CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “Klein Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The Klein Lawsuit asserted that the Director defendants caused Blink to make the statements at issue in the securities class action and, as a result, the Company incurred costs defending against the Bush Lawsuit and other unidentified investigations. The Klein Lawsuit asserted claims against the Director defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste and against all of the defendants for unjust enrichment. Klein did not quantify the alleged damages in his complaint, but he sought damages sustained by the Company as a result of the defendants’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate governance changes, restitution, and disgorgement of profits from the defendants and attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. In December 2020, another shareholder derivative action, captioned Bhatia (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20-27632CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against the same defendants in the Klein Lawsuit and asserted similar claims, as well as additional claims relating to the Company’s nomination, appointment and hiring of minorities and women and the Company’s decision to retain its outside auditor (the “Bhatia Lawsuit”). In June 2022, the court consolidated the Klein and Bhatia actions under the caption In re Blink Charging Company Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 2020-019815-CA-01. The action remains stayed. The Company wholly and completely disputes the allegations. The Company has retained legal counsel to defend the action vigorously. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of September 30, 2024, as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

In February 2022, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned McCauley (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. A-22-847894-C, was filed in Clark County, Nevada seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “McCauley Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The McCauley Lawsuit asserted similar claims and sought similar damages as the Klein Lawsuit. The action remains stayed. The Company wholly and completely disputes the allegations. The Company has retained legal counsel to defend the action vigorously. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of September 30, 2024, as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.
