Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA, VLTA WS) (“Volta” or the “Company”), an industry-leading electric vehicle (“EV”) charging and media company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“Volta’s business continues to grow, demonstrating the power and value of our business model and media network,” said Vince Cubbage, Interim CEO at Volta. “While Volta’s short-term challenges have been significant, we continue to take aggressive action to reduce costs and grow revenue, while positioning the Company for long-term success. We're a powerful dual energy and media network, delivering the best charging solution for drivers, advertisers, commercial properties, and municipalities. I remain as excited as ever about the opportunity in front of us and the prospects for our business.”

Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

Organizational Realignment & Cost Reductions: Volta reduced run-rate cash SG&A by 43%, which included a 54% reduction of U.S. full-time headcount. The Company continued to streamline the organization and prioritize resources toward revenue-driving initiatives, including expanding its digital advertising business and accelerating its role as an EV charging partner for commercial properties and government agencies.

Federal Funds: Volta realigned a component of its sales organization to emphasize its unique offerings as an ideal public-private partner for state and federal government agencies to ensure high-value deployment of the $7.5 billion of federal funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Results of this realignment include Volta’s work with the City of Hoboken, which demonstrates the attractiveness of Volta’s model to communities developing EV charging infrastructure to serve growing demand. Volta will continue to prioritize future EV charging station installations that qualify for government-provided funds by leveraging its PredictEV® infrastructure planning software. By analyzing multiple data sources, including local economic and equity data, PredictEV can identify locations within Volta’s signed pipeline of over 7,200 EV charging stalls, nearly 4,000 of which Volta believes satisfy the government’s requirements.

Accelerating National Digital Advertising Business: In the quarter, the Volta Media™ Network surpassed 5,700 screens and one billion monthly media impressions. This network footprint, combined with advanced digital media capabilities such as data-driven audience targeting, programmatic media buying, dynamic creative triggers, mobile retargeting, and a suite of measurement analytics, offered value to an increasingly diversified roster of clients. AdExchanger recently awarded Volta the Best Commerce Media Technology for its campaign with Coca-Cola®, demonstrating the power of the Volta Media Network to drive measurable sales for leading advertisers.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Total third quarter revenue increased 69% year-over-year to $14.4 million.
  • Record media revenue of $12.2 million, an increase of 9% quarter-over-quarter and 66% year-over-year.

Volta management considers “Total Stalls Installed” as the total size of its installed charging network at the end of the period, including Volta-owned and network development customer-owned charging stations operated by Volta. Volta’s management uses Total Stalls Installed for internal network planning and forecasting purposes, including evaluating the potential Media (previously Behavior and Commerce) revenue generating capacity of its charging network, which is generated through delivery of content by Volta’s advertisers across both Volta-owned and its network development customer-owned charging stalls.
