BARCELONA, SPAIN – November 9, 2022 – Wallbox (NYSE:WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions worldwide, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, and provided a business update.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights:
Executive Commentary
Enric Asuncion, CEO of Wallbox, said, “Our team executed well again this quarter, meeting expectations in a market that has proven to be somewhat mixed. Revenue grew in the third quarter by 140% on a year-over-year basis, and we continued to exceed targets with gross margin of 41.4%. We’ve finalized several meaningful new partnerships, including Fisker, and expanding with Uber into Europe. We formally opened our first factory in the U.S., supporting our position as a leading U.S. manufacturer of EV charging solutions and qualifying us for recent government subsidies. And we showcased Hypernova, our new 400kW DC public charger, an innovative and reliable solution that we believe is a generation ahead of the competition. We’re navigating the challenges well, and are focused on what we can control, as seen by massive growth and meaningful market share gains in multiple geographies.”
Mr. Asuncion continued, “The automotive capacity constraints are delaying EV deliveries, which in-turn has a near-term effect on our European and home charging businesses. However, I’m encouraged by the improved revenue balance we see from both North America and our fast charging portfolio, offsetting much of that impact. I remain optimistic the industry will resolve these issues in the coming quarters and look forward to our new products contributing materially to our growth. Our portfolio has never been more complete, and we look forward to aggressively
continuing our market share gains. While the economic outlook for many industries looks uncertain, we continue to see numerous opportunities to improve our competitive position and execute our strategy, all while aiming to double the size of the company each year.”
