Nuvve Holding Corp., a leading green energy technology company specializing in commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions, has released its financial update for the first quarter of 2024. The update, provided on May 14, offers insights into the company's performance and significant developments in the renewable energy sector.

3 Takeaways

Operational Efficiency: Nuvve demonstrated a 6% increase in managed megawatts and successfully reduced operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024.

Revenue Challenges: Despite strategic efforts, Nuvve experienced a significant 58% decrease in revenue attributed to lower sales orders. 

Cost Management: The company reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses by 4%, along with a 24.3% decrease in research and development expenses. 

One notable highlight of the quarter was the deployment of the 500th electric school bus electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), managed through Nuvve's proprietary GIVe bidirectional smart-charging software platform. Additionally, Nuvve was selected to lead the implementation of a turnkey fleet electrification program for Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission's $16 million 50-shuttle fleet project. This initiative, covering electric shuttles, solar generation systems, battery storage, and Nuvve's advanced software and V2G technology, underscores the company's commitment to advancing sustainable transportation solutions.

During the first quarter of 2024, Nuvve saw a 6% increase in megawatts under management, totaling 26.6 megawatts as of March 31, 2024. Furthermore, the company successfully reduced operating expenses, excluding cost of sales, to $7.5 million compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. This strategic cost management contributed to enhancing operational efficiency and optimizing financial performance.

Financially, Nuvve reported total revenue of about $780,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflecting a decrease of 58% compared to the same period in the previous year. This decline was primarily attributed to lower customer sales orders and shipments, resulting in reduced products and services revenue. Despite the decrease in revenue, the company achieved a notable improvement in products and services margin, reaching 26.8% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 17.9% in the corresponding period of 2023.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to $5.9 million, marking a decrease of 4% compared to the same period last year. This reduction was driven by various factors, including decreases in insurance-related expenses, public company-related costs, and office-related expenses, partially offset by increases in compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses also decreased by 24.3% from the first quarter of 2023, reflecting Nuvve's allocation of resources to advance platform functionality and integration with diverse vehicle types.
