Quanergy Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Fourth quarter revenue increased 113% year-over-year to $1.5 million

Full-year revenue increased 30% year over year to $3.9 million

Secured orders for over 1,000 sensors in the fourth quarter

Quanergy Systems, Inc. (NYSE: QNGY), a leading provider of LiDAR sensors and smart 3D solutions, today announced financial results for the three months and full-year ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

  • Revenue of $1.5 million, up 113% year-over-year, and up 32% sequentially from the third quarter of 2021
  • Third consecutive quarter of sequential and year-over-year growth
  • Secured orders for over 1,000 sensors for a broad range of IoT applications
  • Net loss of $9.4 million vs $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.5 million vs $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Ended fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $26.1 million

Full-Year 2021 Results

  • Revenue of $3.9 million, up 30% year-over-year from $3.0 million in 2020
  • Exceeded updated revenue plan of $3.6 million
  • 1,065 sensors shipped in the full year
  • Net loss of $63.5 million vs $35.8 million in 2020
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $28.0 million vs $24.3 million in 2020

Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed its business combination transaction on February 8, 2022, effectively eliminating a debt balance of $106 million and providing near term access to a $125 million equity facility.

"I am incredibly proud of our execution this year. We are seeing strong end market engagement across our business and the LiDAR sector as a whole,” said Kevin Kennedy, Chairman and CEO of Quanergy. “As our industry-leading technology continues to pave the way for new applications and increased penetration of existing fields, Quanergy is well-positioned to capitalize on the tailwinds of increased detection and data collection needs across the world.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $1.5 million, compared with $704 thousand in the same period of 2020, with growth driven primarily by growing customer demand for Quanergy’s security and smart spaces solutions.

Gross loss was $191 thousand for the quarter, underpinning gross margins of minus 13% which included a $540 thousand charge for excess inventory taken in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to changes in forecasted demand for certain products. Excluding this charge, non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin would have been $349 thousand and 23%, respectively.

Net loss of $9.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss of $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $8.5 million, compared with $9.0 million for the same period in 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $26.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2020.

Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was negative $8.1 million, compared with negative $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The higher cash burn was largely driven by business combination preparation costs as well the timing of insurance premiums.

Key operational highlights

  • The Company announced the successful demonstration of Quanergy’s OPA-based solid-state LiDAR technology out to a range of 200 meters.
  • Increased the Company’s customer count to nearly 400 and global partners to over 50.
  • The number of sensor units shipped increased sequentially by more than 50% from Q3 2021 to Q4 2021.
  • The average deal size continued to expand. The Company secured eight deals larger than $150 thousand in fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Expanded traction in industrial automation with initial customer wins.
  • Talent continued to grow, with the Company’s headcount growing by more than 35% year-over-year.
  • Strengthened the Company’s executive management team with the additions of Kevin Amiri, as Senior Vice President Operations, and Jerry Allison, as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
  • Announced a partnership with Securitas France to provide the security industry’s first remote mobile surveillance solution with 3D LiDAR integration.
  • Released 10 new products, including QORTEX DTC 2.2, ideal for challenging smart city and smart spaces applications, and M1 Edge, a smart industrial automation solution that offers a 3x price/performance advantage versus other solutions.
  • Selected as the winner of the “Smart City Innovation of the Year” from IoT Breakthrough Awards Program.
  • On February 9, 2022, the Company’s Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the new trading symbol “QNGY.” As of March 29, 2022, there were 86,504,955 million shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

Q1 2022 Guidance

  • Revenue guidance for the first quarter of 2022 reflects solid customer and partner demand, partially offset by global supply chain constraints which have impacted the Company’s ability to fulfill orders according to normal delivery timelines.
  • Quanergy expects first-quarter 2022 revenues of $1.1 - $1.3 million.

The Company’s expectations with respect to the first quarter of 2022 are based on its estimates and assumptions as of the date of this press release and are subject to uncertainty. The Company’s expectations with respect to revenues for the first quarter of 2022 are estimated. Actual revenues, for the first quarter of 2022 are subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures for the period, and the actual and reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022 may materially differ. As such, the Company’s expectations with respect to the first quarter of 2022 are inherently unpredictable and actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including the factors discussed below under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to its results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Quanergy believes the non GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are useful in evaluating its operating performance. Quanergy calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adding back interest, stock based comp, income taxes, and other expenses and before depreciation and amortization. Quanergy believes that Adjusted EBITDA may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may be helpful in comparing with other companies, some of which use similar non GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes, however, that Free Cash Flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. We define Free Cash Flow, as used in this press release, as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net loss as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as supplemental to our entire statement of cash flows. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non GAAP measures used by other companies. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.
