     The following top-line highlights are in thousands of dollars and preliminary.

		Three Months Ended												Year Ended
		December 31,												December 31,
		2024				2023				% Change				2024				2023				% Change
Product Revenues		$	17,165			$	33,381				(48.6	%)		$	81,703			$	109,416				(25.3	%)
Service Revenues (1)			9,840				7,938				24.0	%			34,828				26,429				31.8	%
Other Revenues (2)			3,175				1,392				128.1	%			9,666				4,753				103.4	%
Total Revenues		$	30,180			$	42,711				(29.3	%)		$	126,197			$	140,598				(10.2	%)

   

  (1) Service Revenues consist of charging service revenues, network fees, and car-sharing service revenues.

  (2) Other Revenues consist of warranty fees, grants and rebates, and other revenues.

"During 2024, we achieved record charging revenue and significantly grew the total number of Blink-owned chargers. That said, as we expected, product revenues declined in the fourth quarter and for the full year in comparison to exceptionally strong equipment sales in 2023. In addition, we reduced operating expenses and cash burn across the Company. The worldwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) continues and is creating demand for the EV charging infrastructure and services that Blink provides, leading with our owner-operator model.  

"We are focused on achieving profitability and expanding our charging network globally. Our flexible business models, advanced software and network, and portfolio of diverse charging solutions position us as a charging infrastructure leader," commented Mike Battaglia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging.

Business Outlook

Based on current visibility, the Company expects service revenue will continue to increase throughout 2025. The Company expects product revenue in the first half of 2025 to be similar to the second half of 2024, with anticipated improvement in the second half of 2025.  

Blink remains focused on revenue growth and continuing to reduce operating expenses and cash burn across the Company to drive towards profitability. The Company expects to have improved visibility around its timeline to reach adjusted EBITDA profitability as the year progresses.

Blink Charging Co. publicly reports its financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). To facilitate external analysis of the Company's operating performance, Blink Charging also presents financial information that is considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income (Loss) or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than those presented by other companies, including Blink Charging's competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are presented above.

EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) attributable to Blink Charging before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Blink Charging believes EBITDA is useful to its management, securities analysts, and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company's operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps Blink Charging's management, securities analysts, and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company's operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its merger and acquisition expenses, financing transactions, and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results.

The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items such as stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to sale of underperforming assets of subsidiary, change in fair value related to consideration payable, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and one-time non-recurring expense, is useful to securities analysts and investors to evaluate the Company's core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net Loss, and Diluted Earnings per Share.
