Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading pan-European public electric vehicle fast and ultra-fast charging network, today announced its results and key performance metrics for the third quarter of 2023.

Third quarter 2023 Ended September 30, 2023 Highlights

• Revenue climbed 28.2% to €28.6 million from €22.3 million in the same period of 2022.
  • Charging revenue increased 53% to €22.0 million compared to €14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement was driven by increased utilization rates, premium pricing on ultra-fast and fast chargers, and an increase of 29.2% in energy sold compared with the previous period.
  • Services revenue decreased to €6.6 million compared to €7.9 million, as the Carrefour project transitions into the operating phase.
• Gross profit grew to €5.4 million, compared to €(4.6) million in the prior-year period. This increase of €10.0 million was largely due to the growth in charging revenue and the improved margin in charging revenue. Improvements in charging revenue are the direct result of the lower energy costs through Allego’s distinctive sourcing arrangements.
• Third quarter 2023 net loss was €(43.1) million compared to the prior-year period of €(22.1) million mainly driven by non-recurring non-cash items.
• Operational EBITDA was €2.6 million, compared to the prior-year period of €(3.1) million due to higher revenue, the improved margin in charging revenue, and controlled operational SG&A.
• Allego has partnered with Go’on Gruppen, one of Denmark’s largest fueling companies, to install 168 ultra-fast charging ports, with exclusive access to all 185 of Go’on’s existing stations.
• As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s network of ultra-fast charging points rose by 103.4% compared to the same period in the previous year, demonstrating Allego’s focus on its ultra-fast charging network.
• In October 2023, Allego completed the exchange and redemption of all outstanding warrants, thereby streamlining the Company’s capital structure.

2023 Outlook

Revised Full-Year Guidance Range:

• Energy Sold: 215 GWh – 220 GWh
• Total Revenues: €180 - €185 million
• Operational EBITDA: €30 - €35 million

CEO and CFO Comments and Outlook

Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, commented, “We continue to operate in-line with our growth plans for 2023 as we saw charging revenue increase in the quarter, which, helped drive positive operational EBITDA for the fourth consecutive quarter as expected. We observed robust demand for our charging network, highlighted by an 11.3% increase in average utilization rates. More importantly, mature chargers show steady utilization during the quarter of 15%, a 24% increase compared to prior period, which indicates the reliability of our network and the loyalty of Allego customers. We believe the additional power purchase agreements we signed will help mitigate input cost volatility and enable stronger, more defensible margins on a go-forward basis. In the near-term, we are laser focused on growing our base of installed chargers and positioning the business on high and improved gross margin.”

Mr. Bonnet continued, “From a commercial standpoint, we announced a new partnership with Go’on, one of Denmark’s largest fueling companies, where we have exclusivity on 185 locations throughout the country, and are expecting to deploy fast and ultra-fast charging ports across over 60 locations between now and fourth quarter 2024. We also saw growth in our markets in the UK, Spain, France, and Germany. For the latter, we were one of several recipients of a tender, as part of the Deutschlandnetz initiative, to commission 48 new ultra-fast charging locations in North Rhine-Westphalia. Overall, I am again very pleased with our progress in the quarter as we continue to see strong demand for our charging network as EV penetration continues to increase steadily in Europe.”

Allego’s Chief Financial Officer, Ton Louwers, said, “I am pleased with our continued charging revenue growth as the deployment of our network is supported by strong utilization rates. Our proprietary Allamo tool enables us to review and find the highest ROI sites and is a key differentiator for Allego in our ability to expand our network and profitably. During the quarter, as expected, we saw lower services revenue as the Carrefour project transitions into the operating phase.

Mr. Louwers added, “Looking to the fourth quarter, we expect charging revenue to further increase as the build out of the network continues and we see utilization rates improving further. Services revenue is expected to substantially increase driven by the scheduled start of new projects. We therefore have confidence in our operational EBITDA guide as €30-€35 million.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as EBITDA and Operational EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with Dutch generally accepted accounting principles, United States generally accepted accounting principles or the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We define (i) EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization and (ii) Operational EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted for reorganization costs, certain business optimization costs, lease buyouts, and transaction costs. Allego believes that the use of these non-IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Allego’s financial condition and results of operations. Allego’s management uses these non-IFRS measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Allego believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends and in comparing Allego’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Allego’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are provided in this press release.
