Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower, commented, "As we expected, vehicle deliveries accelerated near the end of our fiscal second quarter and that trend has continued into the current period. Presently, we have over 100 approved vouchers for eligible vehicles listed on the California HVIP, New Jersey ZIP and B.C. SUVI rebate program, which will continue to support increased deliveries in coming quarters." Atkinson continued, "Sales pipeline activity continues to grow with a variety of large volume opportunities across the GreenPower product line. We have significantly expanded our sales infrastructure and network and we expect to see the benefits of that investment materialize over the next several quarters."

Recent Highlights:

• GreenPower delivered the first ten EV Star Cab and Chassis to an end user in Southern California
• GreenPower sold 7 EV Stars to a diverse group of customers in California, to be used for employee transportation at Fortune 500 companies, public transportation in the City of Temecula, and to a vehicle upfitter.
• Announced OEM agreement with autonomous vehicle technology provider, Perrone Robotics, to accelerate autonomous shuttle offerings for transit properties.
• Honoured by Metro Magazine with the "Innovative Solutions" Award in Recognition of Work with Perrone Robotics & Jacksonville Transportation Authority

Brendan Riley, President of GreenPower commented, "To keep pace with anticipated demand, we continue to build significant inventory with nearly 260 units in various stages of production and over 70 units in finished goods at the end of the quarter. The receipt of our 292 Card from the California Highway Patrol allows us to accelerate deliveries of our all-electric BEAST school bus which we expect to have a significant impact on revenues in the second half of this fiscal year. Most importantly, we continue to see substantial repeat demand from existing customers, which is a testament to the performance of GreenPower vehicles in the real world environment."

Non IFRS Financial Measures

"Adjusted EBITDA" as reflected above reflects net income or loss before interest, taxes, share-based payments, depreciation and amortization, allowance/(recovery) for credit losses and warranty accrual. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by analysts and investors as an indicator of operating cash flow since it excludes the impact of movements in working capital items, non-cash charges and financing costs. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA gives the investor information as to the cash generated from the operations of a business.  However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered a substitute for other financial measures of performance. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by GreenPower may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as calculated and reported by other companies. The most comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income.
