GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (Nasdaq: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today announced record revenues and deliveries for its third quarter ended December 31, 2022.

GreenPower reported revenues of nearly $12.8 million, a 140% increase from the previous year's third quarter, and delivered 101 vehicles with a majority of the deliveries being EV Star Cab and Chassis, as well as EV Star Cargos, EV Stars and the first delivery of the award-winning Nano BEAST Type A school bus.

"The quarter was record setting in all aspects for GreenPower," said Fraser Atkinson, GreenPower Chairman and CEO. "In addition to realized revenue, GreenPower had more than $12 million of deferred revenue at the end of the third quarter, the majority of which we expect to recognize over the next 12 months, further accelerating our revenue growth."

At quarter's end, GreenPower held $46.2 million in inventory, including $34.6 million in finished goods inventory that is expected to be used to fulfill existing customer orders.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter GreenPower raised more than $3.5 million from its at-the-market equity program (ATM). The funds raised through the ATM are supporting GreenPower's continued growth and the net proceeds benefit the production of GreenPower's purpose-built, all-electric vehicles as well as for product development with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
