  • Gross profit increased to a record $2.5 million, up from $0.2 million in the prior year period.

Q1 and Recent Company Highlights

  • Completed the transformative acquisition of the Proterra's Transit business and battery lease portfolio, adding heavy-duty transit buses to Phoenix's existing product line of medium-duty shuttle and school buses.

  • Raleigh Durham International Airport (RDU) ordered six-zero emission electric buses in March 2024, marking Phoenix's first formal order after acquiring the Proterra Transit business line.

  • Formed long-term partnership with InductEV, a pioneer in wireless vehicle charging technology; Phoenix has already accepted orders for wireless charging of its Class 4 shuttles and expects to deploy its first wireless charging-capable shuttle buses later in 2024.

  • Appointed Dr. Lewis Liu as Chief Operating Officer; prior to his new role, Dr. Liu demonstrated exemplary leadership and innovation as the Senior Vice President (SVP) of Operations and SVP of Vehicle Program & Business Development at Phoenix Motor.

  • Appointed Michael Yung as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective April 17, 2024; Yung brings over 25 years of financial leadership and strategic business acumen to Phoenix Motor.

  • Strengthened capital structure by negotiating key waiver with note holder, eliminating a potential $12 million convertible promissory note issuance related to a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed in November 2023.

  • Raised approximately $11.1 million during Q1 through a series of private placements at an average price of $1.15 per share.

  • Unveiled new branding at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo.

"We are extremely pleased to report record revenues and net income for the first quarter of 2024," stated Denton Peng, CEO of Phoenix Motor. "Our substantial net income improvement was driven by a significant bargain purchase gain from our recent acquisition of Proterra's Transit business, which was acquired for considerably below its fair market value."

"As we look ahead, we remain confident in our ability to deliver continued strong performance," continued Peng. "By integrating Proterra's assets with our established operations at Phoenix, we have significantly strengthened our foundation for continued growth. Combined with strategic initiatives, including new product launches and key partnerships, we expect to drive accelerating momentum across all of our business segments, positioning us well for long-term growth in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle sector."
