Management to Host Conference Call on Monday, April 25 at 5:00 p.m. ET

Cenntro Electric Group Limited (NASDAQ:CENN) ("Cenntro" or "the Company"), a leading EV technology company with advanced, market-validated electric commercial vehicles, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Full Year 2021 Operational and Financial Highlights

The number of commercial vehicles sold was 918 units, an increase of 29.8% from 707 units sold in 2020.
Net revenue was $8.6 million, an increase of 57.1% from $5.5 million in 2020.
Gross margin was 17.5%, up 7.1 percentage points from 10.4% in 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents were $261.1 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with $4.5 million as of December 31, 2020.

"2021 was a year of significant progress for Cenntro as we successfully became a publicly traded company following our stock purchase transaction with Naked Brand Group. The transaction provided Cenntro with over $250 million of cash on hand to fund capacity expansion and to support our growth initiatives," said Peter Wang, Chief Executive Officer.

"We achieved strong operational performance in 2021, highlighted by 918 commercial electric vehicles sold, an increase of approximately 30% from the prior year. We also continue to ramp up capacity with the addition of our Jacksonville facility, and an assembly facility in Germany, and further strengthened our distribution and customer network through our strategic acquisition of a majority interest in Tropos Motors Europe GmbH," concluded Peter Wang.

"While our 2021 operating results were negatively impacted by higher material and shipping costs and shipping container shortages and supply-chain disruptions, we are pleased to have delivered revenue and gross margin improvement driven by increased vehicle sales and other service income. Notably, our revenue grew 57% year-over-year to $8.6 million in 2021 while our gross margin increased by 7.1 percentage points to 17.5%. Our 2021 results demonstrate our ability to manage our production despite the challenges arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to scaling production, we are supporting future revenue growth with increased sales and marketing initiatives," added Edmond Cheng, Chief Financial Officer.

Recent Developments & 2021 Business Highlights

Acquisition of Majority Interest of Tropos Motors Europe

In March 2022, Cenntro completed the previously announced acquisition of a 65% equity interest in Tropos Motors Europe GmbH ("TME"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mosolf SE & Co. KG ("Mosolf"), one of Europe's largest automotive logistics and service providers. The transaction expands Cenntro's assembling capabilities in Herne, Germany, and distribution network in EMEA and brings an additional strategic customer network in Europe.

Cenntro became a Publicly Traded Company

On Dec 31, 2021, Cenntro became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") through a stock purchase transaction with Naked Brand Group. The combined company is led by Cenntro CEO Peter Wang and Cenntro's executive team as Naked Brand Group's online business was divested. Cenntro's trading symbol on NASDAQ changed from "NAKD" to "CENN" in January 2022.

Production Milestone of 1,623 Electric Commercial Vehicles

Cenntro achieved a production milestone of 1,623 electric commercial vehicles ("ECVs") for 2021, with its highest volume month of 628 ECVs produced in December 2021.

Jacksonville, Florida Selected as Location for a new U.S. Manufacturing Facility

In January 2022, Cenntro leased a new assembly facility in Jacksonville, Florida. The 100,000-square-foot facility will support U.S. production, with a possible expansion to support additional vehicles assembly and battery packing operations.

New vehicle model development

The Company has continued to develop and introduce new vehicle models to meet market demand. Cenntro developed four new vehicle models: Neibor® 150, Logistar™ 200, Logistar™ 400, and Teemak™.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Net Revenues

Net revenue was $8.6 million for 2021, an increase of 57.1% from $5.5 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in vehicle sales and an increase in service revenue.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold was $7.1 million 2021, an increase of 44.7% from $4.9 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of vehicles sold to our channel partners.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $1.5 million in 2021, an increase of 164% from $0.6 million in 2020. Gross margin was 17.5% in 2021, up 7.1 percentage points from 10.4% in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in vehicle sales, particularly an increase in sales volume of our Metro® vehicle in the US market and an increase in service revenue.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses were $18.0 million in 2021, an increase of 60% from $11.2 million in 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses due to an increase in freight costs and general and administrative expenses relating to transaction expenses in connection with Cenntro's combination with Naked Brand Group (the "Combination") and the related Nasdaq listing and the expansion of its U.S. operations.

Selling and marketing expenses were $1.0 million, an increase of 32.0% from $0.8 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in freight costs related to shipping container shortages caused by COVID-19, and an increase in marketing expense in connection with our efforts to expand our product market and grow our channel partner network.
General and administration expenses were $15.0 million, an increase of 71.5% from $8.7 million in 2020. The increase was mainly due to transaction expenses related to the Combination and the related Nasdaq listing and an increase in salaries related to the Company's expansion of administrative operations in the United States. The increase was offset by the non-recurrence of depreciation expense and share-based compensation in 2021.
Research and development expenses were $1.5 million, an increase of 8.3% from $1.4 million in 2020. The increase was mainly due to increases in design and development expenses and salary expenses offset by a decrease in share-based compensation in 2021.

Net income (loss)

Net loss was $16.4 million, compared with net loss of $5.2 million in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA¹

Represents a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information about non-GAAP measures, including, where applicable, reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please see "Non-GAAP Measures" below.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(7.0) million in 2021, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of ($5.6) million in 2020.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances

Cash and cash equivalents were $261.1 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with $4.5 million as of December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we believe Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating operational performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (or net loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management believes that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
to evaluate our capacity to expand our business.

By providing this non-GAAP financial measure, together with the reconciliation, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for net income or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as indicators of financial performance. Some of the limitations are:

such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures;
such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
although depreciation and amortization are recurring, non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense, which has been a significant recurring expense and will continue to constitute a significant recurring expense for the foreseeable future, as equity awards are expected to continue to be an important component of our compensation strategy.

Due to these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only as supplemental information. As noted in the table below, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses, losses, charges or gains. It is reasonable to expect that these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period, do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business and may complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other companies over time. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may include adjustments for other items that we do not expect to regularly occur in future reporting periods. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the reconciliation table below help management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance measure, which is net loss:

Presentation of GAAP financial information rather than IFRS financial information

The financial results included in this press release have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the "U.S. GAAP Results"). As an Australian public limited company, we are subject to the Corporations Act, which requires financial statements to be prepared and audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial information in this press release are not financial statements for the purposes of the Corporations Act and is considered "non-IFRS financial information" under the Australian Securities and Investment Commission's Regulatory Guide 230: ‘Disclosing non-IFRS financial information.' Such non-IFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled information presented by other entities and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial information prepared in accordance with AAS or IFRS.

We believe that the GAAP Results, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, are useful in evaluating operational performance. We use GAAP Results and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operations, for internal planning and forecasting purposes and for informing our investors based in the United States.

Our GAAP Results are not a measurement of our financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS.

By providing this non-IFRS financial information, together with the reconciliation, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP may not be comparable to similar measures presented in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under IFRS.

The following U.S. GAAP to IFRS reconciliation tables include IFRS information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which IFRS information was derived from the Company's annual report dated 31 December 2021 filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in accordance with the Corporations Act.

As set forth above, the material differences between the U.S. GAAP and IFRS presentation with respect to our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

The reclassification of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" under U.S. GAAP to "Reserves" under IFRS;
The reclassification of amounts of IFRS share-based payments from "Additional paid-in capital" under U.S. GAAP to "Reserves" under IFRS; and
Additional equity recognized from the difference between the total deemed transaction price and net assets acquired related to the Combination under IFRS.

As set forth above, the material difference between the U.S. GAAP and IFRS presentation as it relates to our combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

In 2021, the Company was deemed to have incurred non-cash listing costs of approximately $209.4 million as a result of the IFRS accounting treatment of the Combination, as the Cenntro Group was deemed to have received a 67% controlling interest in the Company and the Company was deemed to have incurred listing costs equaling the difference between the total deemed transaction price and total net assets. Under U.S. GAAP, the Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, which is equivalent to the issuance of shares by the Cenntro Group for the net assets of Cenntro Electric Group Limited (formerly NBG), accompanied by a recapitalization.
