Bull points
- In the fourth quarter, we generated total revenues of 1.8 million compared to 1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by higher charger hardware sales versus the same period last year.
- We continue to expect further growth in our megawatts under management as we continue to permission our existing backlog of customer orders we have earned. In addition to new business, we anticipate winning, which we have visibility to in our pipeline for both EV chargers and stationary batteries.
- our hardware and service backlog increased to 18.3 million, an increase of 0.8 million from 17.5 million reported at September 30th, which is primarily related to a large hub project in Fresno, California, which we began recognizing revenue in Q3 2020, and continue to recognize revenue through Q4.
Bear points
- 2024 has been an extremely challenging year. I should say horrible as for the first time since 2021, our revenue went down compared to last year. We know that we are not an isolated case as it has been for most of the companies in our industry, with many of them going out of business.
- during the first two quarters of the year, many of the school district partners were expecting to receive the final EPA approval letters, which arrived sometimes with up to six-month delay, forcing them to hold on their purchase orders until they got the final approval letter for their grants.
- 2024 has allowed us to work on our expense reduction, and we are keeping on further reducing our cash expense without impacting our operations and opportunities.
