CEO insights

Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley commented, “ As we’ve increased volume, which has been very dramatic, the overhead burden is shared amongst a greater number of units, and therefore, the burden on gross margin is less,” he explained. “Beyond that, we are becoming more efficient, and our engineering teams are improving upon our product, making it higher quality but less expensive.”

This is the eighth consecutive quarter of growth. There is no issue regarding demand; focus is being placed on deliveries. The company delivered 150 EV ARCs, up from 103 in Q4 2022. The company will continue its accelerating trend of production. The improvement in volumes will result in improvements in gross profits. The company generated gross profits in Q1 2023 versus a (8.1%) gross loss in the previous quarter.

EV ARC production cost savings

Beam engineers discovered $10,000 to $12,000 savings producing a better EV ARCA system. This will result in a 16% to 20% margin improvement. The improvements will see impacts starting from Q2 2023.

The robust government and commercial demand have enabled the company to bump prices by 8.25% on the base model. EV ARC is a patented product with no direct competitor. Material costs are expected to decline through the remainder of 2023.

Needham reiterate hold rating

On Mar 30, 2023, Needham analyst Chris Pierce reiterated the Hold rating on Beam stock. He felt Beam needs to show a path to EV ARC margin improvement in 2023 after providing that it can sell EV ARCs in 2022. Beam Global analyst ratings and price targets can be found on MarketBeat.
