Organization and Operations
Blink Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading owner, operator, and supplier of proprietary electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. Blink serves both residential and commercial EV charging settings, enabling EV drivers to easily recharge at various location types. Blink offers its Property Partners a range of business models for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the four business models below.
Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary cloud-based software that operates, maintains, and tracks the Blink EV charging stations and their associated charging data. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers, and parking companies (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations and payment processing, and provides EV drivers with vital station information including station location, availability, and applicable fees.
The Company has strategic partnerships across numerous transit/destination locations, including airports, auto dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use, municipal locations, multifamily residential and condos, parks and recreation areas, parking lots, religious institutions, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation hubs, and workplace locations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had deployed 15,716 charging stations, of which 6,944 were on the Blink Network (5,512 Level 2 commercial charging units, 101 DC Fast Charging EV chargers, and 1,331 residential Level 2 Blink EV charging units), and the remainder are non-networked or on other networks (239 Level 2 commercial charging units and 8,333 residential Level 2 Blink EV charging stations and 200 charging stations acquired with the BlueLA acquisition).
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company continues to closely monitor the impact on its business of the current outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The Company has taken precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to its customers. The Company has experienced what it expects is a temporary reduction in the usage of its charging stations, which has resulted in a decrease in its charging service revenue. While the Company has not seen a significant adverse impact to its overall financial results from COVID-19, if the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely impacted.
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, 2020 and for the three and nine months then ended. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2020 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, 2019 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2020 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
