11/9/2022

spk01: Greetings and welcome to Ideanomics third quarter 2022 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Tony Sklar, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please proceed, sir.
spk03: Thank you very much, Operator, and welcome everybody to the Ideanomics Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. Joining me today, I am pleased to have Mr. Alf Poore, Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Steven Johnson, Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Robin Mackey, President of Ideanomics Mobility. A webcast of today's call will be archived and available in the events and presentation section of our corporate website for a minimum of 30 days. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. During the call, we will make forward-looking statements such as dialogue regarding our revenue expectations or forecasts for the remaining quarter and full fiscal year 2022 and 2023. These statements are based on our current expectations and information available as of today and are subject to a variety of risks and certainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ material as a result of various risk factors that have been described in our periodic filings with the SEC. As a result, we caution you against placing undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information or future events, except as required by law. In addition, other risks are more fully described in the ID Anomics public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be viewed at www.sec.gov. Today, November 9, 2022, the company filed with the SEC its Form 10Q for Q3 2022 and afterwards issued a press release announcing those financial results. So participants of this call who may not have already done so, who may wish to look at those documents as we provide a summary of those results on this call. The format for today's call will be as follows. Mr. Alf Poore will begin our comments today and speak to the company's progress and strategic developments. Mr. Stephen Johnson will speak to the company's operating and financial results for the third quarter 2022. Mr. Robin Mackey, president of Ideonomics Mobility, will speak to the company's operational activities in mobility and the progress made since our last earnings call. And then finally, Mr. Alfor will make management's closing remarks, which will be followed by our Q&A. I now hand the floor over to Mr. Alfor, Ideonomics CEO.
spk07: Thank you, Tony. And thank you to everyone joining our Q3 earnings call today. On today's call, we will be introducing our new Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Johnston. Stephen brings more than 30 years of experience in the automotive industry to Ideonomics. The commercial EV sector is facing challenges as a result of difficult economic conditions and the slow pace of adoption due to a lack of incentive programs at federal and state government level. The Inflation Reduction Act has started to provide some of the programs fleet operators are looking for, but certainly there is more work to be done at the government level in order to support the transition to zero emission transportation. Despite these challenges, we have made progress in each of our businesses, as Robin will speak to. We have made this progress despite implementing cost-saving measures across the organization. Ideonomics continues to support our customers' electrification goals, grow mobility and energy verticals. U.S. hybrid is a prime example. We expect that business to be profitable in 2023. Energica and Selectrac are making and selling more products. Year to date, Energica has sold 78% more motorcycles compared to the same period last year, and Selectrac sold more tractors in Q3 than they did in all of 2021. I also want to share a quick story about Wave. Just one day after Hurricane Ian hit Florida, our Wave wireless charging system in St. Petersburg was back up and running for the local transit authority. This is a testament to the quality of engineering, which has resulted in reliability and durability of our wireless charging systems in extreme weather conditions. I want to highlight that iDynamics EV revenues are growing through sales in key European and U.S. markets. In previous quarters, our non-core fintech businesses and a China EV sales business made up the bulk of our revenues. The switch has now taken place. By transitioning away from non-core businesses and markets, we can place our focus on the areas where we anticipate the more meaningful market opportunity. I'd also like to provide an update on VIA. The Idenomics and VIA teams are working closely on progressing the acquisitions. We believe VIA can be a force multiplier for Idenomics and vice versa. Together, we offer a better product that meets customers' needs today and tomorrow. Idenomics Energy and Idenomics Capital will accelerate VIA sales with our as-a-service subscription model and offer customers turnkey charging solutions to support the mass deployment of VIA vehicles. The WAVE and VIA teams are collaborating on the integration of WAVE's induction charging system onto the VIA platform, and that would represent an industry first as a fully integrated solution in commercial EV. This is what our customers in the last mile delivery and logistics markets require, a simple, integrated, and affordable way to electrify. Before I pass you over to Stephen, I would like to address our share price. Everyone at Ideonomics is committed to supporting the value of our company and our stock. To do this, we are focusing on the fundamentals of cost savings and execution in conjunction with pursuing strategic financing from alternatives to dilutive equity-based finance. These funding initiatives are currently ongoing. To sustain our vision, we are focused on building momentum around our successes. Put simply, this means winning more customer contracts, and generating higher margin revenues, which will help demonstrate the path to profitability our investors expect. I will now hand you over to Steven Johnston, who will take you through our financial results for the quarter.
spk02: Thank you, Alf, and thank you to everyone joining this call. Since I joined Alf, Robin, and the team at Ideonomics, I've emphasized a focus on disciplined capital investment that will underpin our financing activities. The entire EV industry continues to face headwinds. We see this reflected in market sentiment and share prices across the EV market. Every company in our sector has been affected in a significant way, without exception. My goal is to ensure that Ideanomics can navigate these headwinds. I'm focused on ensuring consistent on-time delivery of our financial filings, driving gross margin expansion, and managing our cost structure, all of which will enable us to navigate the current economic environment. I'll talk more about this, but first I'd like to present you with Ideanomics Q3 results. Revenue for the quarter was $24.3 million, 9% lower than the same time last year. This was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from TIMIOS, our title and escrow services business, and a decrease in revenue from our China-based EV resale business, which offset growth in our expanding EV businesses in U.S. and Europe. This dip at Temios in an EV resale is primarily caused by temporary cyclical macroeconomic factors. What I'd like to highlight is our work towards generation of higher margin revenue from EV-related Ideanomics manufactured products and services in our core markets in the US and Europe. In Q3, we generated $16.2 million in revenue from EV charging and battery products and services, an increase of more than 50% year over year. $8.8 million of that EV charging and battery revenue came from the US and Europe, four times higher than the same time last year. EV revenues from manufactured products are where our focus remains going forward. Gross profit was a loss of $0.7 million, representing a gross margin of negative 2.7%. This is done compared to the last quarter, and the decrease was primarily due to higher levels of fixed cost in our organization. which we have since begun to address and offset through cost reduction measures. As of quarter end, Ideanomics has cash of $25.2 million. Over the past nine months, we used more cash for operations compared to the same time last year as the macroeconomic conditions have temporarily slowed growth for our acquired businesses who have customers with incentive dependencies. Cash used in investing activities over the last nine months was $90.8 million, which was primarily due to expenditures incurred for the acquisition of Energica. In response to market headwinds, Ideanomics is implementing a more focused capital investment process. This includes an emphasis on smart spending, prioritizing investments that will deliver risk-balanced returns. We are also continuing our journey to create a leaner or focused company, 100% committed to becoming a world-class provider of commercial EVs, charging products, and related services. Robin will speak more about this in just a moment. Looking ahead, Ideanomics will continue to raise capital. We are exploring attractive capitalization opportunities from diverse sources, We anticipate bringing in additional capital to the business before the end of this year, with an emphasis on non-dilutive financing, as Alf mentioned earlier. This includes the potential to secure direct funding to support our growth businesses, such as Selectrek and Energica. The right capital partners with industry experience will enable these businesses to scale faster, as well as minimize the costs Ideonomics must carry by itself. As an example, we have agreements with two separate companies to finance dealer expansions for Energica and Selectrag. This is a validation of our brands and products. Back to you, Tony, for more remarks.
spk03: Thank you very much, Stephen, and it is really great to have you on our team, and our shareholders appreciate on-time filings. I'd like to now take the time to introduce Robin Mackey, our president of IBM Mobility, who will discuss mobility and energy verticals in more detail. Thank you, Robin.
spk05: Thank you, Tony. As a reminder for everybody in the call, my focus continues to be on execution and performance improvement across the business. Building on Alf and Stephen's comments, we've initiated a number of cost-saving measures across the organization. with business reviews completed at both corporate and operational levels. These initiatives have enabled us to cut our operating costs while retaining key talent and maintaining a focus on value-added projects with the highest returns. Additionally, we are still experiencing some supply chain constraints and are actively working with our partners to stabilize the supply and improve the predictability of our production throughput. As Stephen mentioned earlier, aerodynamics generated 16.2 million in revenue last quarter from the sale of EVs and charging infrastructure. I would like to briefly touch on some examples of how our focus on execution has enabled this. Firstly, our targeted investments in growing production and distribution capabilities, of which the clearest examples will be with Energica and SelectTrac. Energica has doubled its production launched Energica inside a business unit, introduced new models with a wider market appeal, and secured its first fleet orders. Underpinning the success is a simple fact. Energica makes the world's best electric motorcycle. For example, we delivered the first 88 Energica SS9 bikes to the Indonesian police force with our partner, Utomo Corporation. We will follow up with orders anticipated this quarter in excess of 200 units. This is an exciting new market segment for us with recently expanded manufacturing capabilities and a growing global distribution network. Energica is ready to supply police bikes and other municipal fleets across the globe. Last quarter, At Selectrac, we saw the assembly and sale of the first 44 E25 tractors from the Nolan Manufacturing Joint Venture in Northern Carolina. On top of this, we recently completed a new high-level assembly line at the company's Windsor facility in North California. Selectrac can now produce up to 120 tractors per month on a single shift, and with multiple shifts, achieve a stretched goal of up to 360 tractors per month. SelectTrac continues to expand its dealer network. With each dealer, we typically see initial orders of up to six tractors for stock, generating immediate revenue. This dealer expansion will enable us to engage with larger opportunities in the fleet and municipal markets, as reflected in our recent deal to supply multiple tractors to a California university. U.S. Hybrid under Maisie Nashadi's leadership is continuing to expand its strategic partnership with global environmental products. This resulted in an order to provide EV driveline systems direct to GEP's production facility for an additional 62 zero-emission sweepers. The first kits for this order have already been built and shipped. Additionally, U.S. Hybrid completed in partnership with a major automotive group, a retrofit of a top stacker unit, a type of vehicle used to lift and move containers at ports and warehouses, converting it from diesel to hydrogen fuel cell hybrid power. US Hybrid expects to receive additional orders to retrofit port vehicles and equipment for this emerging market segment. Next, I will talk about our energy vertical and wave. In quarter three, Ideonomics Energy continued to grow its pipeline of opportunities, including additional opportunities unlocked by the direct funding provided under the Inflation Reduction Act. These include opportunities in the sports and hospitality markets. Additionally, we recently released an update to WearSmart, a free tool designed to help warehouse operators in Southern California become compliant with emissions reduction regulations. In just a few days, we saw an increased sign-up rate and began conversations with several high-quality leads. As a reminder, not every opportunity will translate into a contract, but these are strong, positive, leading indicators showing that we are offering our customers exactly what they're looking for. At Wave, we've begun producing wireless chargers for phase two of our collaboration with Antelope Valley Transit Authority, located in northern Los Angeles. and we are on track to deliver wave wireless charging pads and vehicle receivers to Josephine Transit Authority in Oregon in the first half of 2023. We're progressing the previously mentioned project with a large logistics and delivery customer, which is expected to be completed the first half of 2023. PEA, our containerized DC fast charging investment with Petal Group, is in the final stages of testing, with the first systems expected to be delivered in the U.S. in quarter one of 2023. Tony, back to you.
spk03: Thank you, Robin. And now, finally, we have Al Porter to give management's closing remarks.
spk07: Thank you, Tony. Before we open the floor to questions, I'd like to reiterate Idenomic's core value proposition. It's very simple. We make electrification fast, simple, and more affordable for the commercial EV fleet operator. We do this by combining EVs, charging, and financing under one roof. On top of that, we partner with customers on front-end planning to ensure optimal EV and charging infrastructure deployment. Customers want this. They're looking for a trusted partner who can help them transition from combustion engine vehicles to zero emissions. The warehouse tool Robin mentioned is a great example of our customer value proposition in action. We created the tool specifically designed to make life easier for warehouse operators in Southern California, the first in the country to be hit with fines for allowing gasoline and diesel vehicles into their facilities. By making it simple and straightforward to understand and mitigate the fines, we've opened up some very promising doors for the Ideonomics group. I believe that our as-a-service financing model sets us apart. Subscription models make it possible for customers to transition to zero-emission vehicles faster by eliminating the barrier of high upfront costs. This idea is not new, but Ideanomics is one of the first companies to offer it for EVs and charging. I believe this is the future of fleet electrification, and we are ready with these types of financing programs. To close, as I mentioned in our last call, I want to remind you all that Ideonomics will continue to raise money. Looking ahead, we'll use this capital to thoughtfully scale our businesses, including via motors, where we are well positioned to win an increasing market share in the high value last mile and local delivery space. This is one example of where we can focus our efforts as a first mover to generate meaningful revenues and in turn shareholder value. Thank you again to everyone for joining our call. I'll hand you back to Tony.
spk03: Thank you very much, Alf. And we're now going to start the company's Q&A. I'm going to ask the operator to give the instructions for folks.
spk01: Thank you. We will now conduct a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star 2 if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment while we vote for our first question.
spk03: Hi. Okay. So, oh, sorry, operator. I think that we'll take one of the questions. We're going to want people to get their hands up for sure within the telephone queue. But we did have some questions that came in on the SAFE platform and the top two questions that were voted on. I'm going to ask those ones first, and then we'll move into the telephone queue. Okay. Alf, this is going to be for you, the top say questions, the platform that was voted on for shareholders. They want to know a little bit more about the VIA deal, when that's going to finalize, and if you could speak to a reverse split, which seems to be a top voted one there.
spk07: Okay, yeah. So the VIA team is working with the Ideonomics team on a daily basis to get that deal finalized. We're looking at some creative ways to get the deal over the line right now. and we'll give you some updates in the very near future, but both parties remain motivated to get the deal finalized as quickly as possible. We continue our joint marketing efforts together, and Ideonomics has continued to extend funding throughout Q3 and early Q4 to VIA as well. So watch this space is the best I can give you at this time on the VIA deal, but we are looking to finalize in the very near future. In terms of a reverse stock split, We don't believe that is a viable option for Idenomics at this time. It's certainly, as I've previously mentioned, never been even presented to our board as an option at this point. We are in contact with the NASDAQ. We will ask them and expect to be granted a 180-day extension. And the reason we're not considering a reverse stock split at this time is A, it's typically a negative indicator to the market. So you'll see the stock kind of settle down below its split value after the transaction. And B, the commercial EV sector has been beaten up pretty badly. We actually started that downturn in the market in February of 2021. Ideonomics and about a dozen or so other peers. And we've all been trading in a slightly correlated pattern since. And I think the recent market pressure of the stock market coming down in general has kind of piled on to the commercial EV sector. So we've taken kind of a double hit. And as part of that, we expect to be one of the first sectors to emerge when the economy does recover. So for those reasons, we're not looking to hit the panic button and do a reverse split. I don't think it works for our investors. I don't think it works for Ideanomics. We have a very liquid stock. Reverse splits can dilute your liquidity significantly. So I think one of the most attractive propositions of Ideanomics is its liquidity. And, you know, we'd be loath to let that go. So reverse split, hear a lot of noise on it. Tony and the team reported on social media or other platforms as they gather information and bring it to the management team, but not currently something on our agenda to take a look at. And we do believe that we'll make the, you know, we'll be back in compliance with our minimum $1 listing bid and above as soon as the market correction takes place.
spk03: Great, thank you so much, Alf. And so now we're going to go to the phone lines. Operator, I believe that Andre Shepard from Canada Fitzgerald is up next.
spk01: Yes, Andre Shepard, please proceed.
spk04: Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for taking our question and welcome, Stephen. Looking forward to speaking and working with you going forward. Maybe a question for Alf and or Robin. Can you just remind us what are the most important milestones and catalysts that we should be aware of as we head into 2023? Thank you.
spk07: Robin, you want to take that to start with, or you want me to?
spk05: Yeah, no, I'm very happy. Hi, Andrea. For me, the focus primarily is on the growth organizations at the moment, and we're seeing a quarter-on-quarter improvement on the throughput of those businesses. Specifically, I'm talking about Energica and Selectrac, who are gaining more and more market traction every quarter. So that is one area that I think is a strong indicator for the future. Also, the transition that has been made at US Hybrid as we move forward to cash flow breakeven and into profitability through the last quarter of this year, we've seen a transition in their approach to market from pure engineering and non-recurring engineering type projects into the provision of kits and volume to support other OEMs who are moving into the market. And then WAVE, I think we'll see some traction through quarter one, quarter two. They have transitioned from being heavily predicated on government funding in terms of proof of concept to working closely under the IRA with a number of key customers looking to adopt the technology. So transition from government funded to more commercial projects, albeit still proof of concept during 2023.
spk04: Thanks, Robin. That's very helpful. Maybe as a follow-up, as it pertains to WAVE specifically, can you just give us an update on how you intend to apply for the projects that qualify under the NEVI federal funding. Any color that you can give us? I know the projects are still being developed, but my understanding is that you do intend to apply for some of those to qualify for the federal funding. So anything you can share there perhaps? Thanks.
spk05: Yeah, I think the difference and the pivot from what traditionally the approach has been by an organization like WAVE for federal dollars is now that we're supporting our customers to apply for those federal dollars in very much more commercial applications. Previously, we've used the Department of Energy and others to help us develop the technology. Now we're using and working with the customers to apply the technology. And I think that's the subtle difference, Andrea, in the approach and where we sit at this time.
spk04: got it thank you uh maybe a question for steven if i may um you've mentioned on the call that you are exploring capital racing opportunities so i'm wondering if you can perhaps expand a bit further on this you know what what kind of opportunities are you considering you know in terms of maybe equity versus fixed income and what sort of uh timing are you thinking about thank you yeah thanks i'll i'll fill this one and steven feel free to chime in as well um
spk07: There's tremendous interest in ideonomics at this time because we've actually got products on the road and in the ground, so to speak. So there's really a few different types of conversations taking place. There's the equity ones. We want to be light-touching the equity market as much as we can. We want to respect their share price. But we may use equity sparingly over the course of the next six months. Then there's two really interesting ones that are developing. There's the debt markets. which is an obvious place for high investor returns. Now the stock market's in a, in a state of flux. Um, so we have ongoing conversations with debt providers. Um, that's a longer path than an equity transaction, equity transaction. They look at our dynamic share price, they look at the volatility, they look at the volume and a deal is struck in a matter of days, um, to, you know, maybe a couple of weeks maximum when you're dealing with a debt fund. You're talking about three to six months of due diligence, multiple management presentations, inspection of IP registries, you know, the whole kit and caboodle. But there's also another really interesting dynamic. A number of the private equity funds have stepped forward. Those with, you know, some of them got large ESG impact-focused funds where they wouldn't normally approach a public company. They're seeing opportunity because of the lack of capital. So there's some really interesting conversations. Our chairman's been helping facilitate some of those. Those are really interesting as well. And they could probably be, which would be, you know, some relief to investors. They probably could be the cheapest capital we could access because their structures will be, you know, less like a debt or a mezzanine financing and more like a mix between debt and equity. So now we've got a good opportunity here. There's a lot of interest in ideonomics at this time. These deals do take time to land, but we're in some significant conversations, and we expect to include them before the end of the year.
spk04: Wonderful. Thank you, Alf. Maybe one last one for me, if I could. On strategy, going forward, Alf, do you expect to continue to acquire businesses that fit with the overall strategy, or are you kind of content with the current businesses that you have on the mobility side specifically. Thank you.
spk07: Yeah. You know, Ideonomics is a dynamic business, as you know, Andrews. So we're never shy to step into acquisitions. The first phase of the acquisition program that we did was really to capture what we felt was some of the most meaningful technology in the space. As you know, Andrews, whether it's Wave, whether it's Energica, whether it's, you know, Via Motors, they're all differentiated. And they're all strong from a technology perspective, unlike a lot of the products in the market, which is just a body design with somebody else's tech underneath. So that was the first phase of what we're doing. If we're going to do acquisitions in the future, they won't be so tech heavy. They'll be more focused on revenue generation and force multipliers for generating revenue within the group. So if we're going to access the acquisitions market again and take advantage of that, it would be for revenue generating companies that can help multiply the revenues across the group.
spk04: Wonderful. Thank you very much. Congrats again on the quarter, and I'll pass it on. Thanks again. Thank you. Thanks so much.
spk01: Our next question comes from Elise Remick with E-Trade. Please proceed.
spk00: Hi. I am an investor in your company, and my concern is you're saying all these wonderful things, and it's just I think you've, like, mastered all this wording. It just, everything seems like an incomplete thought.
spk01: Our next question comes from Garrett Van Wagner, a private investor.
spk06: Yeah, the question is about via skateboard architecture. Are they delivering products using that skateboard architecture, just one-off kind of people want to buy one to test it out, and when do you expect volume to be available in the Detroit facility?
spk07: Alf, I can take that if you wish. Yeah, please do, Robin. I'll try and answer the previous questions well afterwards.
spk05: Okay, no problem at all. So the actual skateboard technology at the moment has completed all of its testing and validation for the U.S. market and promulgation. and is ready to go to scale. We have a number of companies that are interested in utilizing the technology, specifically for their own applications. We recently announced a very large deal with an emergent bus manufacturer, a small shuttle bus manufacturer, who chose the platform over other competitors. And as you well know, we've been doing significant testing with some large grocery firms and some logistics companies as well. To answer your second question, we expect to be in the market by end of quarter one 2024 and are currently looking at both facilities and contract manufacturing partners to enable that. I hope that answers your question.
spk06: Yeah, I was just asking, have you delivered any vehicles at all? Just a couple of various people that want to come out?
spk05: We have delivered what I would call validation prototypes, which is a normal process. process within the automotive industry. Our next phase is building what we call alpha, and those alpha vehicles will actually be put into the hands of end users who have expressed an interest, and we expect that to be completed by the end of quarter one, 2023.
spk03: Great, thank you so much.
spk07: I'll be happy to pick up on the other lady's, lady either called, dropped, or got cut off or something. She said she was from E-Trade, but it sounds like she was a retail investor. We get a lot of these types of retail investor interactions. I think one of the things that's really important to understand here, and I said this in some recent investor presentations I gave at conferences, the commercial EV sector is only just starting to mature. Companies like Ideanomics have revenues. Most of our peers within the industry, commercial EV industry, do not. Okay, so... Ideonomics is at the forefront of this. We have a technology forward approach, which is paying dividends at this time to us. But the industry is immature, which is why you see our subsidiaries like Energica and Selectrac racing ahead. They're racing ahead. Why? Because they're sold through dealer distributors. So it's more like a consumer purchase. Whereas the large fleet operators have been holding out, waiting, and I've said this many times, holding out waiting for the government rebates and incentives that will help them pay for this legislative, legislative transition into EV and zero emission transportation. Okay. So no fleet in the country is going to do anything other than testing and early vehicle deployments without the government stepping in and paying for what is a legislative change. That's what we've been seeing in the commercial EV industry. And you can see that when you look at any of our peers, because most of them book zero revenue, zero revenue, zero revenue. So, I didn't know this was a little bit different. We've got the charging systems. We've got some of the products we'll purchase in a consumer manner. And then we've obviously got VIA, which doesn't start production, as Robin said, until 2024. The reason it doesn't start production until 2024 is we did not want the upfront expense without the market being ready to buy. Many of the companies that we expect in our sector are struggling right now with 50, $100 million a month burns because they're maintaining manufacturing facilities when they don't have any customer orders. Okay, so that's the answer to that lady's question, is we've built a world-class company. The market has been slow to mature, but because we've stepped into this with a diverse approach, we are actually making revenues, and we're not just purely losing money like many of the other folks in the space. I think that's probably the best way I can answer it at this time.
spk03: Thank you so much, everybody. And that is all the time we have for today. So this concludes the Ideanomics Q3 2022 investors earning call.
