• Fourth quarter revenue represents 105% year-over-year growth and recent contract signing pushes projected Total Contract Value over $100M

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. / Jan 11, 2024 / Business Wire / Electriq Power Holdings, Inc. ("Electriq") (NYSE:ELIQ), a trusted provider of intelligent energy storage and management solutions for homes and small businesses, today announces preliminary results for its fourth quarter and reiterates a revenue range of $20M-$30M in 2024.

CEO Frank Magnotti, commented, “The demand for residential solar and storage and for more independence from the electrical grid remains strong. The approximate $1.3 million we expect to record in sales for Q4 represents YoY growth of over 100% and a roughly 60% sequential increase, including a 233% sequential increase in Sustainable Community Networks (SCN), our third consecutive quarter of incremental growth. Our current Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) in our SCN, both signed and in-progress, paired with our expanded relationships in Puerto Rico and Washington D.C., indicate that we expect to achieve robust growth in 2024.”

Orders from new and existing partners continue to provide Electriq with confidence and visibility, including the company’s recently announced contract, allowing Electriq to launch SCNs in 10 Los Angeles County communities, covering a population of 400,000. This new contract could generate an incremental $30M in Total Contract Value (TCV), defined as the anticipated revenue we expect to recognize over the next three years, starting in the current period, based on assumed levels of participation in the program.

The Company’s expectations for growth in 2024 are based on a number of factors, including more than 160 signed PPAs via our Sustainable Community Networks which could lead to approximately $5 million in revenue over the next two quarters, a $10 million commitment from Sustainable Solutions developers to purchase Electriq’s PowerPod 2 systems estimated to be recognized within 2024 and $100 million TCV estimated to be recognized over the next three years. In addition, Electriq holds approximately $21 million in finished inventory ready to deploy, and has $300 million in solar + storage financing available for its California SCN programs from a well-established clean-energy company.
