Liquidity and Going Concern [Policy Text Block]

LIQUIDITY

 

As of  September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30,499 and working capital of $8,500. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,701 and $24,303, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $6,646 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

 

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur operating losses. While the BlinkForward Initiative (as defined elsewhere) has substantially decreased operating expenses and cash burn, in the near future the Company needs to generate significant additional revenues to achieve profitability. Historically, the Company has been able to raise funds to support business operations, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. The Company expects that cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026, and future cash flows from operations, will fund operations for at least 12 months after the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

 

The Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings, and the Company continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. The Company’s at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program, under which the Company may publicly issue and sell shares of its common stock, was reactivated upon the timely filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or that any funds raised will be sufficient to complete the Company’s EV development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

NASDAQ Listing Compliance

 

On January 26, 2026, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of its common stock had been below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Compliance may be regained if the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock meets or exceeds $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period. Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.

 

The initial compliance period expired on July 27, 2026 without the Company having regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On July 28, 2026, the Company received a second notice (the “Second Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not yet regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company is eligible for an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period, or until January 25, 2027 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. According to the Second Notice, this determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and (ii) the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than 10 business days prior to the expiration of the Second Compliance Period. If the Company does not demonstrate compliance by January 25, 2027, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted, and the Company may then appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance during the Second Compliance Period or otherwise maintain compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

BlinkForward Initiative

 

In May 2025, the Company announced the BlinkForward Initiative (the “Initiative”) as part of a broader strategic restructuring plan aimed at accelerating the Company’s path to profitability and enhancing operational efficiency. Key pillars of the Initiative were designed to transform the Company into a more agile and lean organization. This included a significant reduction in our global workforce, reductions in other operating, general and administrative expenses, and a shift to contract manufacturing for EV hardware to reduce overhead expenses and focus on intellectual property and customer support efforts. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

INVENTORY

 

As of  September 30, 2026, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $3,188 of finished goods that were available for sale and $3,956 of raw material and work in process, net of provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory. As of  December 31, 2025, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $5,532 of finished goods that were available for sale and $8,621 of raw material and work in process, net of provision for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION

 

Transaction gains (losses) attributable to foreign exchange were $(12) and $641 during the three months ended  September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Transaction gains (losses) attributable to foreign exchange were $29 and $(1,140) during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

Foreign currency translation gains (losses) related to the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar were $441 and $6,793 for the three months ended  September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Foreign currency translation gains (losses) related to the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar were $(676) and $8,865 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following different types of contracts:

 

 

●

Product revenues – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer or installation of the product.

 

 

●

Service revenues are comprised of the following:

 

 

○

Charging services revenues – The Company generates charging service revenue from fees charged to users for the use of charging stations, including per-session connection fees and usage-based charges. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a particular charging session is completed.

 

 

○

Network fees – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.

 

 

●

Other revenues are comprised of the following:

 

 

○

Other – Primarily related to transaction fees recognized at a point in time. Other revenues are also comprised of sales related to alternative fuel credits.

 

 

 

○

Warranty – Extended warranties represent a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a gross basis on a straight-line basis over the contract term. The Company also facilitates the sale of third-party warranties for which it acts as an agent; accordingly, revenue from third-party warranties is recognized on a net basis at the point in time of sale. Further, standard warranties are generally not accounted for as separate performance obligations as warranties do not provide a service in addition to the assurance that the charging stations will function as expected.

 

 

 

 

○

Grant and fees rebate – Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and associated installation costs are accounted for by analogy to IAS 20. Grant proceeds are initially deferred and recognized in revenue in a manner consistent with the terms of the grant.

 

 

●

Car-sharing revenue – Relates to revenues and expenses from electric vehicle-sharing and electric vehicle charging services provided to apartments, offices and hotels for use by their residents and guests and is recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is recognized over the duration of the rental agreements which are short term in nature. These services were provided through Envoy Technologies, Inc., which the Company sold on June 5, 2026. Accordingly, car-sharing revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects activity only through the disposal date, and the comparative periods presented for 2025 reflect a full period of activity. See Note 9 – Sale of Envoy Technologies.

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. Payment terms are generally thirty days. 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.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from numerous contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the product or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the observable price for which the Company would sell the product or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as a bundled sale with any other products or services). The allocation of transaction price among separate performance obligations may impact the timing of revenue recognition but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract.

 

As of  September 30, 2026, the Company had $12,789 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, 2026. The Company expects to satisfy $10,565 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 months ended  September 30, 2026 and 2025 there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods as specified by ASC 606-10-50-12A.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $1,418 and $6,773 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of  December 31, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $1,837 and $7,227 of revenues, respectively, related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of  December 31, 2024.

 

Car-sharing services related to revenues and expenses from electric vehicle-sharing and electric vehicle charging services provided to apartments, offices and hotels for use by their residents and guests and were recognized in accordance with ASC 842. The Company provided electric vehicles to be available for use and the contracting locations were invoiced on a monthly or quarterly basis under the terms of the agreement signed with each respective customer. Revenues were also derived from parties who schedule use of electric vehicles that were not provided specifically for exclusive use to a particular customer under an ongoing existing contractual arrangement. 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 did not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues did not include material amounts of variable payments. The Company did not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented vehicle at the end of the lease. The Company’s vehicles were generally rented for short periods of time (generally a few hours). Lessees did not provide residual value guarantees on rented vehicles. The Company’s vehicles were typically rented for the majority of the time that the Company owned or leased the underlying vehicle.

 

These services were provided through Envoy Technologies, Inc., which the Company sold on June 5, 2026. Accordingly, car-sharing revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects activity only through the disposal date, and the comparative periods presented for 2025 reflect a full period of activity. See Note 9 – Sale of Envoy Technologies.

Government Assistance [Policy Text Block]

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

 

The Company receives grants from federal, state, and foreign government agencies related to capital investments in electric vehicle charging equipment. The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money should be recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant. Government grants whose primary condition is the purchase, construction, or acquisition of a long-lived asset are considered asset-based grants and are recognized as a liability. Other government grants not related to long-lived assets are considered income-based grants, which are initially recognized as “Government grants receivable” and are also recognized as a reduction to the related cost of activities that generated the benefit. Proceeds received from asset-based grants are presented as cash inflows from investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, whereas proceeds received from income-based grants are presented as cash inflows from operating activities. Private and government grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the recognition of the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives.

 

Grant receivables are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Current liabilities related to government grants are included within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and non-current liabilities related to government grants are included within other liabilities.

 

As of  September 30, 2026, the Company had government grant receivables of $109 and government grant liabilities of $10,489, of which $3,090 were current and $7,399 were non-current. As of  December 31, 2025, the Company had government grant receivables of $0 and government grant liabilities of $11,067, of which $2,869 were current and $8,198 were non-current. The current and non-current portions of government grant liabilities are included in ‘Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ and ‘Other liabilities,’ respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026. During the three months ended  September 30, 2026 and 2025, government grants of $770 and $432, respectively, were recognized as a reduction to depreciation expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, government grants of $2,349 and $1,632, respectively, were recognized as a reduction to depreciation expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 potential common stock are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

In addition, warrants to purchase 5,177,741 and 5,048,329 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and options to purchase 391,701  and 569,038 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were excluded from the above table because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods, and would have been anti-dilutive regardless of the Company’s net loss position.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments provide a practical expedient that permits entities to assume that current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts for estimating expected credit losses under ASC 326. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU No. 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818). The ASU establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The ASU is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation, primarily related to revenue and cost of revenues line items, which were reorganized to better align with how management views and operates the business and to conform the cost of revenue captions to the Company’s revenue categories. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense previously included within general and administrative expenses is presented as a separate operating expense caption. Amounts reclassified were $1,318 and $3,821 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. On the balance sheet ended December 31, 2025, current finance lease obligations of $42 and non-current finance lease obligations of $64 is reclassed to Accounts Payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Other liabilities, respectively. In addition, Notes payable of $265 is reclassified to Other Liabilities on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total operating expenses, loss from operations, results of operations or net loss per share.
