Allego Reports First Quarter 2023 Results; Allego Nearly Triples Charging Revenues in Q1 2023

ARNHEM, Netherlands , June 05 /Businesswire/ - Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading pan-European public electric vehicle fast and ultrafast charging network, today announced its results and key performance metrics for the first quarter of 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Ended March 31, 2023

• Total revenue increased 27.4% to €38.8 million, compared to €30.5 million in the prior-year period driven by strong growth in charging revenue.
• Charging revenue was up 166.7% to €27.8 million compared to €10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The growth was driven by an increase in the number of operational chargers, targeted price increases during the second half of 2022 and higher utilization rates underpinned by uptime performance and premium site selection.
• In line with Allego’s strategy to focus on its core charging business, services revenue was €10.9 million, compared to €20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by the lower revenues from the Carrefour project in line with expectations. The project is otherwise weighted towards the second half of 2023, as was the case in 2022.
• Gross profit was €13.4 million, up 190.9% compared to €4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which reflected the impact of the strong increase in higher-margin charging revenue and high margin as well in charging.
• Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was €(13.2) million, compared to €(351.0) million, during the first quarter of 2022. As a reminder, 98% of the €(351.0) million loss in the first quarter of 2022 resulted from non-recurring, share-based expenses and warrant accounting linked to the listing.
• First quarter operational EBITDA was €8.9 million compared to €1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in gross margin underpinned by higher recurring charging revenues and cost-efficient long-term hedging of energy.
• Allego secured 160 GWh of renewable power purchase agreements (“PPA”) in its main markets in line with its target to minimize the impact of energy price volatility on input cost base and maximize gross margin over time.
• Beyond our partnership with porta Group, our backlog of signed location contracts grew to more than 1,300 premium sites compared to 500 at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Key Metrics

CEO and CFO Comments and Outlook

Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, commented, “I am very excited to report a strong first quarter of 2023, driven by close to a tripling of our charging revenue as we continued to see robust demand for our charging network and a further acceleration of our core strategy. Operational EBITDA increased sharply, representing improving economics on our development of the charging network.”

Mr. Bonnet continued, “Key accomplishments during the first quarter include the signing of an important contract with porta Group, as well as other numerous charging stations sites and the signing of three PPAs for 160 GWh at very attractive prices. Our technology stack continues to be recognized as best in class, with recent updates improving our competitive position, and we expect to see sustained growth in utilization rates. We will look to continue our robust growth as we expand our ultrafast EV public network.”

Allego’s Chief Financial Officer, Ton Louwers, stated, “We executed well during the first quarter, in-line with our expectations. The combination of minimizing input cost volatility through the PPAs, the ongoing shift in revenue to a mix consisting of a larger proportion of higher margin charging revenue, and the pickup in our pace of installations of new ultrafast chargers, positions us to generate higher revenue and profit this year. Accordingly, we are reaffirming our guidance for 2023.”
