Q4 Revenue of $119.3 Million, A Sequential Increase from Q3 Revenue of $117.1 Million
Fortifying Foundation for Scale, Geographic Footprint and Capabilities Expansion to Drive Growth in Emerging Sector
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2022/Charge Enterprises Inc. (OTC PINK:CRGE) (“Charge”), consisting of a portfolio of global businesses with the vision of connecting people everywhere with communications and electric-vehicle charging (“EV”) infrastructure, today reported its financial results for the three-month period and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Results – Selected Financial Information
“Charge made tremendous progress in Q4 toward our goal of becoming the trusted global infrastructure partner for 5G wireless network and intelligent sites as well as EV Charging. We continued to build our 5G wireless network / EV charging infrastructure growth engine through a selective acquisition, drove organic growth through successful customer engagement in the EV charging infrastructure sector, expanded our talented team and further refined our processes for scalability,” Charge’s Chairman and CEO Andrew Fox stated. “Through the BWES acquisition, we significantly expanded our electrical contracting capabilities and expertise, adding scalability in 5G and network services as well as EV charging infrastructure deployment resources, establishing Charge’s position with organized labor workforce and welcoming an impressive and experienced team of qualified master electricians. BWES and ANS are a powerful combination, and we are working to bring additional value to customers as we unify their product offerings and leverage their capabilities across their respective territories for growth. EV Depot, acquired in January, is an early mover in licensing parking facilities to create charging ecosystems, scaling our infrastructure offering and capabilities for ecommerce, commercial and delivery fleets. Last, we markedly advanced our internal processes and corporate governance structures in preparation for an uplist to the Nasdaq Capital Market.”
“In all, we capped off a transformational year and fortified our foundation for future expansion of our capabilities and geographic footprint to drive growth in the expansive, emerging addressable market at the intersection of 5G wireless and EV charging electrical infrastructure. Looking ahead, we are very pleased with our ANS and BWES subsidiaries’ strong performances. BWES serves many customers within the public sector, which tends to have multi-year projects with revenue being recognized over several calendar years. Our goal remains to be the trusted global infrastructure partner for 5G wireless network and intelligent sites as well as EV Charging.”
Reported results include: TransWorld Enterprises, Inc., acquired on May 8, 2020; GetCharged, Inc., acquired on October 12, 2020; PTGI International Carrier Services, Inc. (“PTGI”) acquired on October 31, 2020; ANS Advanced Network Services (“ANS”) acquired on May 21, 2021; and BW Electrical Services LLC (BWES”) acquired on December 27, 2021, and are therefore not comparable to year-ago periods.
Proforma results include: The full three- or twelve-month period for all operations, including acquisitions, for both 2020 and 2021. Management believes that presenting pro forma results is important to understanding the Company’s financial performance, providing better analysis of trends in our underlying businesses as it allows for comparability to prior period results.

Fourth quarter proforma revenue was $126.8 million, a decrease of $4.5 million from the same period last year, driven by declines in Telecommunications’ wholesale call volume offset by solid growth within Infrastructure’s higher-margin 5G and wireless installation and electrical construction.
Fourth quarter proforma net loss of $14.5 million decreased $20.0 million from the same period last year due to impairment charges and stock issuance costs in 2020 offset by higher stock compensation expense in 2021 due to expansion in personnel associated with the Company’s growth.
Cash used in operations for the full year 2021 was $2.9 million, including investments in corporate governance and the buildout of Charge’s management team to both strengthen its public company structure and support organic growth, as well as acquisition-related expenses.
Charge’s CFO Leah Schweller commented, “While inflation did have some impact on fourth quarter results and tight supply chains and labor markets are realities for growing businesses, our margins at the operating subsidiary level are holding to date, and we remain vigilant to combat margin erosion in this challenging geopolitical, inflationary and supply chain environment. As we had hoped, recently acquired businesses are performing solidly and are expected to contribute incrementally as we fully integrate them, leverage their capabilities, and drive higher margin revenue.”
As of December 31,2021, Charge held $27.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Large Market Opportunity
Charge is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the present market opportunity by developing and deploying infrastructure, making it simple to move and connect people across the globe, installing 5G, in-building wireless networks and EV charging ecosystems and delivering the infrastructure clients require today to grow with them as scale is required to meet future demands. There are a number of strong tailwinds both investment and demand, with investments in Charge’s total addressable EV / 5G Infrastructure market being driven from private, enterprise, and public sectors alike, which combined total $224 billion*, including $72.5 billion public funds (Infrastructure bill) earmarked for EV charging, including a national network of 500,000 EV charging stations**, and billions more in the private sector, by 2028.

2022-23 Strategy and Priorities
“As we add building blocks to our foundation and gather customer needs and preferences across a range of industry sectors, we have honed our strategy for scalability while optimizing a holistic approach that provides a highly responsive and reliable infrastructure offering that addresses engineering, technology and energy and equipment cost management needs. Our value proposition is differentiated by our hardware- and software-agnostic approach that centers on tailoring bespoke installations to the requirements of each customer, creating customized electric vehicle charging solutions and positioning clients to support organic growth in the future. As we move through the next 18 months, we will continue to be deliberate and thoughtful as we add talent and refine our internal public company processes to drive our success as we simultaneously pioneer a new industry and identify and secure the resources needed to address today’s demands at the cross-over of wireless and electrical infrastructure and capture the opportunities and use cases of the future,” stated Mr. Fox.
Charge’s overarching strategy is to integrate high-quality assets with growing recurring revenue streams across its core competencies of building infrastructure for 5G wireless networks and EV charging ecosystem solutions:
Telecommunications
- Continue to leverage 20-year global customer relationships and a variable cost model for growth, strengthening this division as a foundation underlying Charge’s consolidated revenue base
- Selectively add products and services with solid margins, such as SMS text, to this long-established business
Infrastructure
- Scale wireless/electrical infrastructure capabilities – Charge’s strategy is to grow ANS’ private sector and BWES’ public sector capabilities in wireless network and electrical charging infrastructure, uniting their complementary offerings and resources to fuel growth into each other’s territories. This combination offers a powerful unique, one-stop value proposition for clients’ wireless network and electrical charging ecosystem installation needs, starting in New York and New Jersey.
- EV infrastructure platform – Charge’s Michigan team will address tremendous demand in the explosively growing EV space, exemplified by numerous EV launches announced by automotive OEMs, increasing EV capacity and new EV entrants in the US market. Leveraging Charge’s long-standing relationships in the automotive OEM vertical, the team’s strategy is focused on a 4-pronged approach to: grow organically by building out our internal team; leverage Charge subsidiaries’ capabilities; build a network of installers to support organic growth; and add targeted acquisitions and strategic alliances to scale for future growth opportunities in additional sectors such as retail, office complexes and multi-unit housing:
- Drive organic growth by expanding our internal management team to execute continued education and guidance encompassing the critical elements of uptime and total cost of ownership for EV charging infrastructure solutions, optimal client-engagement and dedicated project management of our services;
- Leverage the expertise, capability and skill from the ANS, BWES and EV Depot workforces and subcontractor networks to a add greater value integrated into our seamless solution providing a unique and superlative customer experience in bespoke installations, including project management, design and engineering, construction, installation, and maintenance;
- Build a nationwide network of local contractors, electricians and engineering firms to execute the expansion and scale as Charge’s leadership team establishes and grows relationships with key customers in varying industry sectors, including automotive dealerships, auto OEMs, commercial fleet and other industrial and public sectors;
- Continue to selectively seek acquisition opportunities and strategic partnerships that expand greater scale, enhance services and create additional value vertically and horizontally within the supply chain of adapting infrastructure implementation for EV Charging and 5G wireless networks, DAS, small cell and intelligent sites.
Finally, Charge will continue to invest in talent with world class industry experience at both the divisional and corporate levels to drive growth.
