XL Fleet Corp. (NYSE: XL) (“XL Fleet” or the “Company”), a leading provider of fleet electrification solutions for commercial vehicles in North America, today announced second quarter 2021 financial results.
Second Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights
Management Commentary
“We believe market interest in commercial fleet electrification solutions remains strong, however, supply chain issues and wide scale shortages of key materials, especially microchips, continue to impact the global automotive industry, significantly interrupting the ability of fleet customers to secure new vehicles on which our electrified drive systems are installed,” said Dimitri Kazarinoff, Chief Executive Officer of XL Fleet. “We remain nimble and are positioning XL Fleet to benefit from the recovery in vehicle availability whenever it materializes. Since the start of the second quarter, we have been successful in finalizing several significant new partnerships that expand our sales, service and product development capabilities, and we continued our highly strategic approach to pursuing M&A opportunities which bolster our current and future electrification suite.”
“We continue to advance our mission of enabling fleets to electrify more quickly and comprehensively,” said Tod Hynes, Founder & President of XL Fleet. “This includes new agreements to collaborate with high quality partners across applications including waste management, refrigerated trailers, last mile delivery, and other mission-critical applications, while at the same time, expecting to remain on target to begin initial shipments of our first all-electric solutions in 2022. Our recent strategic acquisition of World Energy and our eNow partnership advance our electrification-as-a-service strategy and enhance our ability to deliver the comprehensive set of electrification solutions that our customers are increasingly demanding."
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue totaled $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. Revenue from the sale of drive systems in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $1.3 million compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 due to the microchip shortage and lack of new fleet chassis. Revenue from XL Grid in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $2.4 million, which was comprised of partial-quarter contribution from World Energy following the businesses acquisition on May 17, 2021.
Gross profit was $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a gross profit of $0.04 million in the second quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by XL Grid with the World Energy acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA was ($11.4) million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to ($3.5) million for the second quarter of 2020 due to the significant growth in our team and an increase in service providers to support our growth strategy and to meet our obligations as a publicly traded company.
Net loss was $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to net loss of $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. Net income for the second quarter of 2021 includes a non-cash gain from the change in fair value of warrant liability of $2.7 million. Adjusted net loss was $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted net loss of $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net loss is set out in the tables below.
Balance Sheet and Capital
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 totaled $384.1 million compared to $329.6 million as of December 31, 2020. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $0.6 million. XL Fleet has approximately 139.4 million shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2021.
Operating Summary
Since the beginning of 2020, the Company shipped a total of 1,625 drive systems, of which, 88 drive systems were shipped during the second quarter of 2021. Drive systems shipped since the beginning of 2020 include XL Fleet’s hybrid and plug-in hybrid drive systems. XL Fleet is currently developing all electric drivetrains that we expect to deploy on new vehicles in 2022. We have also substantially expanded our XL Grid solutions with the acquisition of World Energy in May 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 and Recent Operational & Business Updates
Outlook
“Companies continue to seek new and immediate ways to improve sustainability,” added Mr. Kazarinoff. “We remain in active conversations with customers regarding vehicle deliveries; however, the OEMs have pushed out the opening of new orders and extended lead times, indicating the ongoing shortage of new commercial fleet vehicles will stretch into 2022. That said, we are very pleased to have expanded our XL Grid division and also recently gained current CARB Executive Order status, re-opening our opportunity to sell certain applications in the robust California market. Additionally, we are actively pursuing and winning opportunities to retrofit our drive systems on existing vehicles.”
“While the unprecedented lack of commercial fleet vehicle availability is now expected to extend into 2022, XL Fleet is extremely well positioned to continue to execute on our broader business strategy. We continue to develop new electrification solutions across a broader range of chassis options and expand on our energy management and charging infrastructure capabilities, while also pursuing exciting new opportunities outside of North America. In addition, we continue to add great new talent and capacity to our team to successfully navigate the current market challenges while putting us in position to realize our long-term goals. We believe we have the financial resources, the strategy, and the talent to work through this period of new vehicle disruption and successfully grow our business.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), XL Fleet Corp. reports EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is determined by taking net income and adding interest, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking EBITDA and adding change in fair value of obligation to issue shares of common stock to sellers of World Energy, non-recurring World Energy acquisition expenses and accreted contingent compensation obligation to sellers of World Energy, change in fair value of warrant liability, change in fair value of convertible notes payable derivative liabilities and loss on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is determined by taking Net Income (Loss) and adding change in fair value of obligation to issue shares of common stock to sellers of World Energy, non-recurring World Energy acquisition expenses, accreted contingent compensation obligation to sellers of World Energy, change in fair value of warrant liability, and change in fair value of convertible notes payable derivative liabilities and loss on extinguishment of debt. This prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information or U.S. GAAP with respect to forward looking financial information. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measures in the tables within these this press release.
