Exhibit 99.1

Tritium Reports Full Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results with Record Sales Orders, Revenue, and Backlog; Company Details Successful Tennessee Factory Launch and Capital Raise

 

   

Achieved record fiscal year sales orders of $203 million, an increase year-over-year of 232%, and ended the June 30, 2022 fiscal year with a record backlog of $149 million1 as customer demand grew strongly across all of the Company’s geographies

 

   

Reported record revenue of $86 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, representing a 53% increase year-over-year

 

   

Started production at the Company’s new 120,000 square foot Tennessee factory in July 2022, a critical milestone towards supporting future growth

 

   

Announced a $150 million three-year lending facility with the support of longstanding lending partners and a $75 million committed equity facility

BRISBANE, Australia, September 22, 2022 – Tritium DCFC Limited (Nasdaq: DCFC) (“Tritium” or the “Company”), a global developer and manufacturer of direct current (“DC”) fast chargers for electric vehicles (“EVs”), today announced record sales orders, revenue, and backlog for any calendar year or fiscal year in its history.

Tritium today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2022:

 

   

Sales orders: $203 million

 

   

Backlog: $149 million

 

   

Revenue: $86 million

 

   

Margin: -0.4% gross margin

 

   

Comprehensive loss: $120 million (inclusive of one-time stock-based compensation and listing costs)

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents: $70 million

“Over $200 million of sales orders in a twelve-month period is an incredible validation of Tritium’s technology and category leadership, and significantly outpaces total sales orders in prior fiscal years. This is a testament to remarkable work from our employees, and a signal of the velocity now emerging across the global fast charger category as we look to 2023 and 2024,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “Our customers are now implementing multi-year investment strategies to build networks of fast charging infrastructure in our primary target geographies of the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. We are pleased to begin the 2023 fiscal year with a record contracted backlog that is currently in the process of being fulfilled as our Tennessee facility ramps-up its production capacity, in-line with our operating plan.”

 

1 Tritium reports sales and backlog based only on executed and contracted purchase orders; does not include anticipated, expected, or potential volumes from memorandums of understanding (MOUs) or customer indications


Fiscal year 2022 saw an escalating level of sales activity across all of Tritium’s geographies, with strong demand from existing and new customers. Tritium is actively expanding factory capacity, bolstering supply chain, and improving production yields. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, Tritium’s footprint grew to more than 11,000 fast charger connectors around the world.

In support of this accelerating growth, the Company officially opened its new Tennessee factory on August 23, 2022. The factory, which came online in approximately five months, is planned to increase production capacity over the course of calendar year 2023, with an ultimate target capacity of up to 30,000 fast charger units per year, for delivery throughout the Americas and Europe. Tritium expects the Tennessee factory to reach a production capacity of 6,000 charger units per year by December 2022 and plans to scale to 28,000 units of production capacity by December 2023.

Tritium is now producing its modular fast chargers at the Tennessee factory. These DC fast chargers are compatible with all EVs, compact, reliable, IP65-rated, and cost effective, and are expected to be eligible for EV charging tax credits offered under the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”). Tritium’s modular fast chargers are also expected to meet Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) Buy America Act standards in 2023, making them eligible for the $5 billion in National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (“NEVI”) Formula Program funding, including the first wave of $900 million recently approved by President Biden. Tritium is already in discussions with several customers who are targeting NEVI Program disbursements. In addition to NEVI, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion in discretionary grant programs for which Tritium expects its products will be eligible.

“Tritium’s Tennessee factory will create a step change in throughput for the Company. The facility, which spans 120,000 square feet, was designed to be capable of producing up to six times more product than Tritium’s prior global manufacturing footprint, and is one of the largest EV fast charger factories in the United States,” said Rob Topol, who will be transitioning into the role of CFO following the filing of the Company’s Form 20-F. “Of particular importance, the Tennessee facility is expected to provide the Company with significant economies of scale in 2023. This scale — combined with improved manufacturing processes, reduced freight costs through a combination of delivery via truck instead of sea freight for North American customers and significantly shorter shipping routes to Europe, as well as onboarding local suppliers closer to the manufacturing process, component volume discounts, the expected easing of component shortages over the course of 2023, and faster to assemble modular chargers — is key in our plans to further increase gross margin above the 300 basis point improvement achieved year-over-year.”

Despite the Company’s Tennessee factory being completed in just five months from lease commencement, its production volumes are approximately six weeks behind schedule due to the challenges experienced by electronics manufacturing businesses globally, principally related to supply chain and recruitment delays. This delay in production is expected to shift approximately six weeks of projected 2022 revenue, or approximately $45 million, into calendar year 2023, resulting in expected calendar year 2022 revenue of approximately $125 million. Importantly, this revenue is expected to be realized in the first quarter of calendar year 2023.

As previously announced, Tritium refinanced its existing $90 million credit facility with a three-year $150 million facility led by its longstanding lenders, Cigna Investments, Inc. and Barings LLC. Further, the Company entered into a committed equity facility of up to $75 million with B. Riley Financial, Inc., which the Company expects to access depending on market conditions. These financings will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital investments principally tied to the inventory ramp-up required to meet significantly increased sales orders, and the expansion of the Tennessee factory.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, also known as the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any express or implied statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact and generally relate to future events, hopes, intentions, strategies, or performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “might,” “possible,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “aim,” “strive,” and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expressed or implied forwarding-looking statements, including, but not limited to: our history of losses; the ability to successfully manage our growth; the adoption and demand for electronic vehicles including the success of alternative fuels, changes to rebates, tax credits and the impact of government incentives; the accuracy of our forecasts and projections including those regarding our market opportunity; competition; our ability to secure financing; delays in our manufacturing plans; losses or disruptions in supply or manufacturing partners; risks related to our technology, intellectual property and infrastructure; exemptions to certain U.S. securities laws as a result of our status as a foreign private issuer; and other important factors


discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2022, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Investors Relations section of Company’s website at https://investors.tritiumcharging.com/. Any investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC as most of the factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. The Company cautions not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as to management expectations and beliefs as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than to the extent required by applicable law.
