"During 2024, we achieved record charging revenue and significantly grew the total number of Blink-owned chargers. That said, as we expected, product revenues declined in the fourth quarter and for the full year in comparison to exceptionally strong equipment sales in 2023. In addition, we reduced operating expenses and cash burn across the Company. The worldwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) continues and is creating demand for the EV charging infrastructure and services that Blink provides, leading with our owner-operator model.  

"We are focused on achieving profitability and expanding our charging network globally. Our flexible business models, advanced software and network, and portfolio of diverse charging solutions position us as a charging infrastructure leader,” commented Mike Battaglia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging.

Business Outlook

Based on current visibility, the Company expects service revenue will continue to increase throughout 2025. The Company expects product revenue in the first half of 2025 to be similar to the second half of 2024, with anticipated improvement in the second half of 2025.  

Blink remains focused on revenue growth and continuing to reduce operating expenses and cash burn across the Company to drive towards profitability. The Company expects to have improved visibility around its timeline to reach adjusted EBITDA profitability as the year progresses.
