MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a technology company focused on the electrification economy, today announced preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
ConnectM is an AI-powered B2B technology electrification platform working within the $1.7 trillion market to displace fossil fuels. The Company made its public market debut on the Nasdaq on July 15, 2024. ConnectM’s revenue growth lies in three largely untapped segments:
- Smart Heating & Cooling with a focus on Heat Pumps (“Building Electrification”)
- Two, three, and four-wheel commercial electric vehicles; last mile delivery (“Transportation & Logistics”)
- Distributed Energy Resources including Solar, Battery and EV Charging (“Distributed Energy”)
The table below sets forth sustainable Growth over the Last Five Years
Key Company Highlights
- Revenue in Q3 2024 was $6.1 million, compared to $4.45 million in Q3 2023. Revenue in the first nine months of 2024 increased 11% to $17.3 million, compared to $15.6 million in the same period last year.
- Successfully amended Forward Stock Purchase agreement to remove future settlement liability at maturity, resulting in a $26.1 million increase in Stockholder Equity.
- Company continues to eliminate overhang from go public event, successfully converting $13.7 million of debt with debt-to-equity swap at $2.00 per share.
- As part of the Company's ongoing efforts to make advanced heating technology accessible, ConnectM launched its AI-powered heat pump, for residential and light commercial use. Integrated with ConnectM's Energy Intelligence Network, the heat pump is optimized for performance, energy efficiency and reduces customer energy costs.
- Completed its first acquisition since go public event, entering into an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in DeliveryCircle, a nationwide tech-enabled delivery company which connects businesses looking for a last-mile delivery solution. This strategic acquisition expands ConnectM’s Transportation & Logistics segment in the United States.
Bhaskar Panigrahi, CEO and Chairman of ConnectM, commented, “I am thrilled to report preliminary top line growth while completing significant milestones early on. We recorded revenue of $6.1 million and $17.3 million, a 36% and 11% increase, respectively, from the prior year periods for the three and nine months. Our revenue growth was driven by improvements in our three segments, Building Electrification, Transportation & Logistics, and Distributed Energy. While focused on growing our top line, we are encouraged by our ability to reduce the cost of revenues, which speaks to the increased efficiency across all our operations.
We have much to be proud of since our July 2024 public debut. The management team quickly prioritized balance sheet optimization – deleveraging the balance sheet and eliminating $2 million in annual interest expense while bringing $4.2 million in fresh capital to the Company. As the Company leader and a fellow shareholder, I, along with others within management, purchased a total of 455,000 shares during the open trading window, demonstrating management’s alignment with shareholders and our shared belief in the growth trajectory of this Company.
Operationally, we have reduced our operating expenses, strategically prioritizing the growth of our business through Managed Services Agreements (“MSAs”) and new product introductions, such as our AI-powered heat pump, and continued to grow through accretive acquisitions such as DeliveryCircle and Green Energy Gains. MSAs are a preferred risk adjusted growth play where we earn a high percentage of MSA partner revenue via our electrification platform subscription service. This strategic structure reduces our acquisition risk by giving the Company the option to acquire an MSA partner based on their performance and transformation post adoption of our platform.
Lastly, I have strong conviction that the future is bright for ConnectM. My team and I are focused on continuing to grow revenue and taking category leadership positions across our three operating segments. As you can see by our aligned investment interest, we are committed to creating meaningful catalysts for growth with the goal of increasing long-term value for all shareholders.”
Outlook
For the fourth quarter and full year 2024, the Company expects revenues of approximately $7 million and $24 million respectively.
