Zapp EV Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

LONDON, Feb. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) (“Zapp EV” or the “Company”), owner of “Zapp”, the British electric vehicle brand on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Entered into a standby equity purchase agreement to sell up to $10 million worth of shares, with a majority of the proceeds to be used to start production and commercial rollout of the i300 electric urban motorcycle.
  • Completed vehicle testing required for homologation in the European Union and Thailand.

2023 Operational Highlights

  • Received two additional design awards, for a current total of eight, including the prestigious Red Dot Product Design Award in the motorcycles category.
  • Two patents were granted relating to the weight- and component-reducing exoskeleton and interchangeable front fender.
  • The first peer review from Electroheads received more than three million views across social media channels.
  • Partnered with the Paris-based fintech firm Younited, which offers our European customers its Younited Pay instant credit payment solution when completing their order, with flexible payment plans designed to minimize monthly payments depending on the amount of the down payment and term of the desired repayment schedule.

2023 Financial Results

  • IFRS Net loss of $222.1 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year.
  • 2023 results reflected primarily other expenses of $213.7 million, which related to the business combination completed in April 2023.
  • Operating loss of $7.8 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year. 

Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zapp EV, said: “We’ve taken a well-researched approach from day one and the start of production is a major tipping point for Zapp. The standby commitment of $10 million provides a runway beyond start of production and paves the road for commercial rollout and launch activities in multiple countries. The i300 is highly fit-for-purpose in its use case, and we believe Zapp can scale quickly after rolling out in Europe and key Asian markets, including India.”
