Recent Developments

“COVID-19 has tragically affected many companies across the U.S., but we have continued to operate and provide critical off-grid solar-powered infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging and for emergency power during the pandemic,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Envision Solar. “Q2 was a challenging quarter for everyone but our team continued to execute. Even at the height of the lockdown we continued to produce and sell products, submit a new patent application and see our existing products provide vital EV fueling and emergency power for our customers’ COVID emergency facilities. Though there is a great deal of uncertainty across the globe, we are still seeing strong interest in our products and the broader EV sector. We believe that support from stimulus spending and increasing appetites for electric vehicles of all types, and the off grid charging solutions we produce, will drive our growth in the coming quarters.”
Q2 2020 Financial Summary
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues were $1,455,158, compared to $1,640,350 for the same period last year, an 11% decrease. Revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020 included our first EV ARCTMshipment into Canada and our second solar-powered EV DC fast charging deployment to a California rest area. We also delivered two Solar Tree® solar-powered sustainable infrastructure products which are designed to provide charging for electric buses, electric heavy-duty vehicles and growing electric vehicle options in the construction industry, in addition to several other EV ARCTM units. The same period in 2019 included the delivery of 16 units to one customer, the City of New York. For the first six months of 2020, revenues were $2,772,210 compared to $2,829,945 for the same period in 2019, a 2% decrease. As of June 30, 2020, our contracted backlog was approximately $2.6 million. Our shipments will continue to fluctuate each quarter due to the varying size of orders and timing of deliveries. The COVID-19 virus has caused some delays and cancellations of opportunities in our pipeline as a result of funding issues, priority issues or business closures, and may impact us more in the future.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a gross profit of $55,336 compared to a gross profit of $61,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a gross profit of $15,695 compared to a gross profit of $8,443 for the same period in the prior year. Our gross profit remains low as we’ve priced our units to be competitive and to gain market share in the EV charging market, but we expect it to improve as our revenues increase and we benefit from lower fixed overhead cost per unit, volume purchase pricing and improved labor efficiency.
Net Loss
Our net loss was $833,957, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, reduced from $983,874, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2019. This is primarily attributable to a reduction in interest expense due to the pay-off of debt following our public offering last year, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses, primarily for increased sales and marketing expense to support revenue growth, non-cash compensation expense and salaries and benefits. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,776,478, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, down from $1,933,505, or $0.51 per basic and diluted share for the same period in the prior year. Similar to the quarter, the reduction in interest expense that resulted from the elimination of debt was partially reinvested in higher operating expenses, primarily for sales and marketing activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2020, we had cash of $1,952,394, compared to $3,849,456 at December 31, 2019. The cash usage during the first six months of 2020 resulted primarily from the net loss, net of non-cash expenses and increased inventory and prepaid expenses, and the payment of a convertible note payable to a related party. This was partially offset by cash generated from the exercise of warrants and a loan through the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Our working capital decreased from $5,142,719 to $3,989,036 from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
