Phoenix Motor Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Phoenix Motor Inc. (Nasdaq: PEV) (the “Company” or “Phoenix”), a leader in manufacturing of all-electric, medium-duty vehicles, today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Net revenues decreased 23% to $1.2 million, compared to $1.5 million in Q2 2022, as a significant increase in revenue from electric vehicle sales was more than offset by a decline in forklift sales.
  • Gross loss amounted to $0.1 million, compared to gross profit of $0.3 million in Q2 2022.
  • Net loss was $3.2 million, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million in Q2 2022.

Recent Company Highlights

  • In July, Phoenix announced a purchase order for 13 Zero Emission Vehicles from Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). The order was executed through National Auto Fleet Group (NAFG) and will include various battery configurations and Phoenix’s inverter package which offer AC power for tools, compressors and other auxiliary loads, powered straight from the high voltage DC batteries. The all electric, zero-emission trucks are funded, in part, by the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) program.
  • Also in July, Phoenix announced the recent delivery of an all-electric, zero-emission service truck to the San Bernardino City Unified School District. This electric vehicle was funded in part by the California HVIP voucher program.
  • Earlier in July, Phoenix announced that it had expanded its EV shuttle bus fleet at Los Angeles International Airport with WallyPark Airport Parking with the delivery of three new all-electric shuttle buses to the airport parking service provider. The addition of these new vehicles augments WallyPark’s current fleet of over 30 electric shuttle buses and supports its mission to lower fleet maintenance costs and to support the energy transition by providing cleaner air.

“We continue to make progress on the development and sales of our fourth-generation vehicles, which are currently undergoing validation testing here at our Anaheim facility. We expect to launch production and commercial sales during 2023,” the Company’s CEO, Xiaofeng Denton Peng commented. “We have built a tremendous order backlog and have executed multiple partnerships to further support the sales pipeline of our Gen 4 vehicles over the next several years. We are also expanding our Retrofit Solutions business and are exploring multiple additional paths to create shareholder value. We are confident in our business model and excited about our future growth prospects,” Mr. Peng continued.

Start of Production of Gen 4 Vehicles this Year

Phoenix expects to achieve SOP (start of production) of its fourth-generation vehicles for the medium-duty EV market during 2023. The Gen 4 development will provide several advantages versus the current Gen 3 models, specifically:

  • Asset Light Business Model: Gen 4 marks the deployment of the Company’s “asset light” business model both upstream and downstream. Upstream, Phoenix is leveraging its strategic alliances with R&D partners and engineering suppliers to develop Gen 4 more efficiently. Downstream, Phoenix is partnering with both customers and third party manufacturers to develop manufacturing and assembly facilities at strategic locations around the country.
  • Scale: The Company anticipates scaling of its production, utilizing its current Anaheim facility as well as customer and third-party assembly facilities. The Anaheim manufacturing facility is being reconfigured to increase production capacity and to utilize it as a showcase facility and training center to ensure processes and procedures are standardized across the entire production network.
  • Reduced Costs: Gen 4 is expected to achieve lower production and materials costs compared to Gen 3 vehicles, benefiting from standardization of processes and procedures, as well as components and sub-assemblies—a benefit which will carry over to Gen 5 production as well.
  • Battery Supply: The Company expects it will benefit from its partnership with CATL for the long-term supply of K-Packs and related products for its Gen 4 electric vehicles.

Gen 5 Will Offer Chassis Independence in 2024

Design, development and production planning for Phoenix’s Gen 5 vehicles will leverage on Phoenix’s experience and benefit from the development of its Gen 4 line of vehicles. Unique highlights of Gen 5 are expected to include:

  • Ground-up Chassis Design: The Company will be producing its own ground up, purpose-built chassis in 2024.
  • Chassis Independence: The development of Gen 5 will provide Phoenix with chassis independence, overcoming one of the major impediments facing the industry.
  • Lower Costs: Phoenix should be able to produce its chassis for far less than the cost it is paying to acquire chassis today.
  • Increased Design Flexibility and Customer Satisfaction: Phoenix’s ground up chassis will enable it to customize vehicle designs to meet specialized needs, while maintaining standardized processes and procedures, increasing the Company’s capacity to accommodate customer requirements and meet the evolving needs of the transforming electric vehicle market.
