EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO – Get Free Report) issued its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.12) earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of ($0.14) by $0.02, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $109.53 million during the quarter. During the same period last year, the company earned ($0.09) EPS. The company’s revenue for the quarter was up 45.4% on a year-over-year basis.
Here are the key takeaways from EVgo’s conference call:
- EVgo reported a record Q1 with $110 million revenue (up 45% YoY), 91 GWh public-network throughput, 5,280 stalls in operation and 200 new stalls added, signaling continued network growth and customer demand despite an adjusted EBITDA loss of -$7 million as the company invests in expansion.
- An amended DOE loan (now sized to $750M including $625M borrowings) and a $300M commercial facility materially improve liquidity — EVgo received an $81M advance on May 1 and says it has about $640M available principal capacity across facilities to fund its build plan.
- Management progressed its next?generation charging architecture (first system build, successful vehicle charging with company controllers, and reliability testing) with a field rollout expected by year?end; they expect lower CapEx per stall, improved reliability and long?term unit economics that support a target of ~$500M recurring adjusted EBITDA by 2030, and are rolling out NACS to expand addressable market.
- 2026 guidance was reaffirmed — total revenue of $410M–$470M, adjusted EBITDA of -$20M to $20M, and 1,400–1,650 new stalls (back?half weighted, with Q2 the softest and Q4 the strongest), keeping the company’s growth trajectory intact but front?loaded seasonality and timing risks present.
- Near?term margin and throughput headwinds — charging network gross margin slipped (36% in Q1) and adjusted gross margin declined as non?charging revenue mix rose; throughput per stall was ~3.5% lower YoY due to new?stall ramp, legacy equipment underuse and weather, and adjusted G&A rose 19%, contributing to the Q1 adjusted EBITDA loss.
