Positive
Record revenue in FY 2023, totaling approximately EUR 107.4 million, a significant increase from FY 2022.
First profitable quarter achieved with a fourth-quarter revenue of approximately EUR 50.3 million and an Adjusted EBITDA of EUR 4.6 million.
Over 1,500 battery-based DCFC charging points installed, with strong momentum in onboarding new blue-chip clients.
Anticipated 2024 revenues to exceed EUR 200 million, with expectations of being EBITDA positive.
ADS-TEC's systems boast over 97% uptime, showcasing successful user cases and accelerating demand.
Negative
None.
ADS-TEC Energy's significant revenue growth from EUR 26.4 million in FY 2022 to EUR 107.4 million in FY 2023 is a testament to the company's expanding market presence and improved operational efficiency. The record-breaking fourth quarter not only exemplifies a strategic milestone but also shows a positive trajectory towards achieving a profitable year, with expectations set to hit at least EUR 200 million in revenue for FY 2024. This surge in earnings is particularly impressive given that it is the first year the company has reported a profitable quarter, indicating a potential turning point in its financial health. However, investors should remain cautiously optimistic, as the Adjusted EBITDA, despite improving, is still negative at EUR -16.3 million. The climb towards EBITDA positivity is a critical marker for the company's fiscal stability and should be closely monitored in the coming year.
ADS-TEC Energy's operational update underscores a substantial penetration in the ultra-fast charging market, with over 1,500 DCFC charging points installed. Geographical expansion into 15+ countries, particularly the strategic moves in the US market, signify a diverse and growing customer base. The technological superiority of ADS-TEC's systems, which boast over a 97% uptime, places the company in an advantageous position in the ultra-fast charging technology race. However, with technological advancements comes the risk of obsolescence. As the market transitions from 50-70 kW chargers to higher-capacity solutions, ADS-TEC's battery-buffered systems present a scalable opportunity, though this space remains highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Investors should note that market leadership in technology can be fleeting and continuous innovation is important for maintaining a competitive edge.
The strategic partnerships forged by ADS-TEC, including those with Caverion and Ford dealerships, point to a robust commercial strategy and potential for recurring revenue through service agreements. The anticipated launch of the ChargePost system in early 2025 is poised to provide a significant boost to the company’s growth trajectory. It’s important to note the increasing relevance of battery-buffered charging infrastructure within the broader context of the electric vehicle (EV) market expansion. However, challenges such as the potential for delays and resistance during transformative scaling, as mentioned by the CEO, must not be underestimated. The company’s proactive steps towards optimizing production processes, evidenced by the capacity to produce several thousand ChargeBoxes and other systems annually, indicate readiness for anticipated demand, which investors should view as a positive indicator of operational scalability.

More than 2,500 battery-based DCFC charging points shipped and delivered.
Exceeded customer expectations at sites with very high utilization.

Geographical expansion gaining momentum, with activity in 15+ countries after growth primarily driven by Germany.
Indications of adoption in the US market with increasing interest in ADS-TEC products. Launch of ChargePost expected in early 2025 to provide a significant boost to growth.

Strong personnel growth with several key appointments to the Board and management: Dr. Sonja Harms, Dr. Andreas Fabritius, and Alwin Epple, along with a new SVP, Renato Gross, in ADS-TEC Energy’s US office.
2024 Outlook
Anticipate 2024 full-year revenues to exceed EUR 200 million.
Expect to be Adjusted EBITDA positive in FY 2024.

ADS-TEC's systems boast over 97% uptime, best in class, evidencing successful user cases that accelerate demand from existing customers and onboard new ones.
Increasingly clear that 50-70 kW chargers are becoming outdated as new EVs can charge at higher speeds. This will lead to a replacement cycle benefiting ADS-TEC, as 50 kW chargers mainly at limited access grids can be easily upgraded with ADS-TEC’s battery-buffered systems, instead of costly conversions.
Above factors instill confidence in strong momentum in the second half, as well as continued high growth for 2025 and beyond.
Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy, commented “I am extremely pleased with our record revenue growth in 2023 and strong guidance for 2024. We had our first EBITDA positive quarter in Q4 2023, and I am confident that this is an inflection point towards EBITDA positive in FY 2024. We are in the midst of a major transformation with continued focus on scaling our platform. Such a huge transformation will not happen without resistance or delays. The winners will be those who persevere, and we are delighted with our strongly growing customer base. The future will be electric that’s for sure. We were able to drive robust growth from both new and existing blue-chip customers. Demand in Europe was very strong in 2023, driven by continued investments in charging infrastructure, which was reflected in the solid performance of our European client base, and we are very confident about our activities in North America, which are being driven by our US team and management. We anticipate this strong demand to continue in 2024 and are very optimistic about our position within the battery buffered charging ecosystem.”
