“The Beam Team has had a solid first half of 2024 and we are only just beginning to see the impact from our expansion into Europe where we sold our first million-dollar order in less than five months from the creation of Beam’s European operations – a milestone which took five years in the U.S.,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We had a healthy mix of repeat and new customers in the first and second quarters and we see our commercial business continuing to expand. Today I am joined by Beam Global management from the U.S. and Europe to ring the opening bell, celebrating five years on Nasdaq during which time we have increased our revenues tenfold; improved gross profitability to the point where the potential for positive cashflow is within our visible horizon; won multiple international patents; added a battery business unit; expanded into the largest market in the world for our products – Europe – and increased the power and efficiency of our EV ARC product dramatically. We are about to introduce a new, sustainable curbside EV charging infrastructure product and we have several other new products in our patent pipeline. We continue to be debt free, have sufficient cash on hand and have access to an untapped one-hundred-million-dollar line of credit. While the EV industry has recently seen some negative and often contradictory reporting, we continue to feel extremely positive about Beam Global’s progress and long-term growth, particularly as we expand our patented product portfolio and open up new national and international markets.”
