Overview
We are
a leading owner, operator, provider, and manufacturer of 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 locations. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink Networks and Blink EV charging equipment,
also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and other EV-related services. The Blink Networks are 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 Partners, among other types of commercial customers, 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 (as applicable).
To capture
more revenues derived from providing EV charging equipment to commercial customers and to help differentiate Blink in the EV infrastructure
market, Blink offers Property Partners a comprehensive range of solutions for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into
one of the business models below, differentiated by who owns the equipment and who bears the costs of installation, equipment, maintenance,
and the percentage of revenue shared.
●
In our Blink-owned turnkey business model, we incur the charging equipment and installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Networks. In this model, which favors recurring revenues, we incur most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, we retain substantially all EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts nine years, with extensions that can bring it to 27 years.
●
In our Blink-owned hybrid business model, we incur the charging equipment costs while the Property Partner incurs the installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity to the Blink Networks. In this model, since the Property Partner incurs the installation costs; we share a more generous portion of the EV charging revenues with the Property Partner after deducting Blink network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts seven years, with extensions that can bring it to 21 years.
●
In our host-owned business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns, and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs the installation costs. We work with the Property Partner by providing site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Networks, payment processing, and optional maintenance services. In this model, the Property Partner retains and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting Blink network connectivity and processing fees.
We also
own and operate EV car-sharing and ride-sharing programs through our wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Mobility. These programs allow customers
to share electric vehicles through subscription services and charge those cars through our charging stations.
As
of March 31st 2025, there were 65,772 chargers connected to the Blink networks. Of those, 64,175 were Level 2 commercial chargers and
1,597 DCFC were commercial chargers, Included on Blink networks are 7,091 chargers owned by us. Another estimated 22,676 units were non-networked,
on other networks, international sales, or deployments. In total, we have deployed, contracted or sold 112,186 units, which includes public
and private chargers, as designated by stations owners, and is net of swap-outs, replacement units, and decommissioned units. Certain
commercial chargers include chargers installed in residential settings for commercial purposes. All chargers, including at all international
Blink locations, are categorized based on US Department of Energy guidelines.
As reflected
in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $42,024 working capital of
$65,720 and an accumulated deficit of $756,562 During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $20,707 We have
not yet achieved profitability.

Product and Service
Offerings
We offer a variety of EV
charging products and services to Property Partners and EV drivers.
EV
Charging Solutions
● Level 2. We offer a wide range of Level 2 (AC) EV charging equipment, ideal for commercial and
residential use, with the North American standard J1772 connector, the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, and the Type
2 connector compatible with electric vehicles in Europe and across Latin America.
● Our commercial Level 2 chargers consist of the EQ, HQ, MQ, and IQ 200 families and the Series 4, 6, 7,
and 8 families, which are available in pedestal, wall mount, and pole mount configurations. The MQ and IQ 200, along with the Series 6,
7, and 8 chargers offer an optional cable management system. Additionally, we offer three residential Level 2 chargers for the Americas:
the wall-mounted HQ 200, Series 4, and a smart charging cable, the PQ 150, designed for European markets. Our commercial and residential
chargers (except the non-networked HQ 150) can connect to the Blink Networks or a local network. Level 2 charging stations typically provide
a full charge in two to eight hours. Level 2 chargers are ideally suited for low-cost installations and frequently used parking locations,
such as workplaces, multifamily residential, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use, parking garages, municipalities, colleges/schools, hospitals
and airports.
● International Products. We offer Level 2 AC and DC products for the rapidly expanding international
markets targeted at the residential, workplace, retail, parking garages, leasing companies, hospitality, and other locations. These products
are available with the Type 2, GBT, and CCS 2 connectors and include the PQ 150, Series 3 (an ideal product for the 2/3-wheeled vehicles),
and the EQ 200.
●
Mobile Charger . We offer the HQ 200-M Level 2 charger for the mobile/emergency charging market which requires a portable charger
to be used for roadside or other use cases where a connection to the electricity grid is not available.

Key Factors Affecting
Operating Results
We believe
our performance and future success depend on several factors, including those discussed below:
Competition
- The EV charging equipment and service market is highly competitive, and we expect the market to become increasingly competitive
as new entrants enter this growing market. Our products and services compete on product performance and features, the total cost of ownership,
origin of manufacturing, sales capabilities, financial stability, brand recognition, product reliability, and the installed base’s
size. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, and new competitors may enter the market. If our market
share decreases due to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.
Growth
- Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs.
The market for alternative fuel vehicles is still relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price
competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development
cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and
use of alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically EVs, include perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to battery
chemistries), design, performance and cost; the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about
running out of power while in use; improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine; consumers’ desire and ability
to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive; the environmental consciousness of consumers; volatility in the
cost of oil and gasoline; consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries
and the impact of international conflicts; government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms
of energy; access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and
cost to charge an EV; and the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring
increased use of nonpolluting vehicles. If the market for EVs does not gain broad market acceptance or develops slower than we expect,
our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
Regulations
- Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to government
incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy, electric vehicles and others. These laws and regulations, and the
interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of
government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in diminished revenues
from government sources and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted.
These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention.
Changes to these applicable laws or regulations could affect business and/or harm our customers, thereby adversely affecting our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Expansion
through Acquisitions - We may pursue strategic domestic and international acquisitions to expand our operations. Risks in acquisition
transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties
in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed
or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations
to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact
our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a
significant amount of time. If we are unable to integrate or pursue strategic acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations
would be negatively impacted.

Revenues
Total revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $16,814 or 45%, to $20,754 compared to $37,568 during the three months ended
March 31, 2024.
Revenue from product sales was
$8,381 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $27,508 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $19,127
or 70%. This decrease was attributable to decreased unit sales and the product mix of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and residential
chargers when compared to the same period in 2024.
Charging
service revenue was $6,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $5,027 for the three months ended March 31, 2024,
an increase of $1,753, or 35%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers and an increased number of chargers on the
Blink Networks.
Network
fee revenues were $2,626 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $2,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an
increase of $561, or 27%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units during the three months ended March 31, 2025,
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Warranty
revenues were $955 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $953 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase
of $2. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized net revenues for the sale of Blink warranty
programs to a third party of ($19).
Grant
and rebate revenues were $160 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $583 during the three months ended March 31,
2024, a decrease of $423, or 73%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a
manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The decrease in revenue was primarily related
to the timing of the amortization of previous years’ state grants/rebates associated with the installation of chargers during the
three months March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Car-sharing
services revenues were $1,175 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $1,097 during the three months ended March 31,
2024, an increase of $78, or 7%. The increase in revenues is due to the increase in properties and participants subscribing to the car-sharing
services.
Other
revenue increased by $342 or 102% to $677 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $335 for the three months ended March
31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in transaction fees and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated
during the three months March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Cost of Revenues
Cost
of revenues primarily consists of electricity reimbursements, revenue share payments to our Property Partner hosts, the cost of charging
stations sold, connectivity charges provided by other networks, warranty, repairs and maintenance services, and depreciation of our installed
charging stations. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $13,385 as compared to $24,149 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $10,764 or 45%.
There
is a degree of variability in our costs in relationship to our revenues from period to period, primarily due to:
●
electricity reimbursements that are unique to those Property Partner host agreements which provide for such reimbursements;
●
revenue share payments are predicated on the contractual obligation under the property partner agreement and the revenue generated by the applicable chargers;
●
cost of charging stations sold is predicated on the mix of types of charging stations and parts sold during the period;
●
network costs are fixed in nature based on the number of chargers connected to the telco network regardless of whether the charger generates revenue;
●
provisions for excess and obsolete inventory; and
●
warranty and repairs and maintenance expenses are based on both the number of service cases completed during the period.
Cost
of product sales decreased by $11,054, or 67%, from $16,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $5,548 for the three
months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in product sales of
commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and home residential chargers during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same
period in 2024.
Cost
of charging services (electricity reimbursements) increased by $199, or 28%, to $904 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared
to $705 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to the mix of charging stations generating charging
service revenues subject to electricity reimbursement.
Host
provider fees increased by $610, or 20%, to $3,652 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $3,042 during the three
months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was a result of the mix of chargers generating revenue and their corresponding revenue share
percentage payments to Property Partner hosts pursuant to their agreements.
Network
costs decreased by $126 or 21%, to $463 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $589 during the three months ended
March 31, 2024. The decrease was a result of the decrease in expenses associated with charging stations on our network.
Warranty
and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $235, or 39%, to $840 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $605 during
the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months
March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months March 31, 2024.
Cost
of car-sharing services was $685 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $862 during the 2024 period, a decrease of $177 or 21%. The decrease
was due to a decrease in vehicles used in this operation during the period.
24
Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased by $451, or 26%, to $1,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1,744 for the
three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the number of EV charging stations partially
offset by the amortization of grant funding related to the reimbursement associated with charging station capital expenditures.
Operating Expenses
Compensation
expense decreased by $1,408, or 9%, to $13,549 (consisting of approximately $12.5 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately
$1.0 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Compensation expense was $14,957 (consisting of approximately
$14.1 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately $0.9 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended March
31, 2024. The decrease in compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared
to the same period in 2024 was primarily related to decreases in personnel and compensation in executive, marketing, sales and operations
departments.
General and
administrative expenses increased by $1,065, or 14%, to $8,872 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $7,807 for
the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was
primarily attributable to increases in accounting/auditing, credit cards fees, provision for expected credit losses and currency

March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in loss on disposal of assets,
travel expenses, website expenses, rent, and hardware and software development costs of $2, 202 , partially offset by increases in insurance,
software licensing and property/use tax expenditures of $1,251.
The Company
recorded a loss on the change in fair value of consideration payable related to the Envoy acquisition of $679 during the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and $1,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1,021 or 60%. The decrease was due to the change in the
inputs to the probability-weighted discounted cash flow model.
Other Income
Other income
increased by $63 or 19% from $338 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $401 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The
increase in other income (expense) was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $371 and dividend and interest
income of $308.
Net Loss
Our net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $3,534, or 21%, to $20,707 as compared to $17,173 the three months ended
March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an decrease in operating expenses, and partially offset by a decrease in gross profit.

$2,830 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets , $341 was used in the purchase of marketable securities, offset by $3,000 provided by the sale of marketable securities.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $883, of which, $8 was used to pay down our liability
in connection with a finance lease and offset by $891 provided by offering proceeds related to the sale of common stock. During the three
months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in financing activities was $6,703, of which, $31,354
was used to pay down notes payable, $169 was used to pay down our liability in connection with a finance lease and $250 was used
to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software, partially offset by $25,070 provided by offering proceeds related
to the sale of common stock.
As of March 31, 2025,
we had cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $42,024, $0, $65,720 and $756,562,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $20,707 and used
$11,855 of cash in operating activities. The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash
outflows from operations. The Company’s future operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts
required to fund working capital and capital expenditures.
Because
of the uncertainty of the timing to achieving profitability and cash flows provided by operating activities to support the Company’s
future operating needs, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
for a period of at least one year from the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management is undertaking,
or has undertaken, several initiatives to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern, which include the following:
● Engaging
with third parties to raise debt or equity capital;
● Evaluating
the Company’s existing arrangements to minimize current and future obligations;
● Successfully
optimizing its products and services and entering into collaborations with other companies;
● Pursuing
initiatives to reduce operating expenses, including fully recognizing the synergies of prior
acquisitions.
Historically,
the Company has been able to raise funds to support its business operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company
sold an aggregate of 681,330 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross
proceeds of $909, less issuance costs of $18 which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The Company is required
to file a Form S-1 to issue new equity and raise proceeds in the future. 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. Lastly, there can be no assurances that these other
initiatives will be achieved. However, based on its considerations, management believes these initiatives can be effectively implemented
and will be sufficient to mitigate the circumstances resulting in substantial doubt for a period not less than one year from the date
the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Contractual Obligations
and Commitments
We have
operating and finance lease obligations over the next five years of approximately $10,071. These operating lease and financing lease obligations
are primarily related to corporate office space, warehousing, and parking spaces related to our car-sharing services.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures are in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to
make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements,
as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon
which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent
that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting
policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding
and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.
We consider
an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain
at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period
or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.
Management
has identified certain critical accounting estimates which are outlined below. In addition, there are other items within our financial
statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could
have a material impact on our financial statements.
Our
accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements
included elsewhere in this quarterly report. For a comprehensive list of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7,
Critical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes
to our critical accounting policies and estimates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
