Highlights
BRISBANE, Australia, September 21, 2023 – Tritium DCFC Limited (“Tritium” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global leader in direct current (“DC”) fast chargers for electric vehicles (“EVs”), today provided an update on its business. Today’s announcement will be followed by a conference call for investors at 10:30 AM Eastern time.
“We are very pleased to deliver these excellent revenue and margin results for our shareholders,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “Our commitment to product quality, spanning our hardware, software, and service offerings, is a key differentiator and competitive advantage for Tritium. In recent months, we’ve been proud to see our EV charging customer bp pulse achieving over 97% uptime across their Tritium charger networks in Australia and New Zealand. UK customer Evyve also recently published their achievement of 98% uptime across their fleet of Tritium fast chargers, and Australia’s largest public fast charging network, Evie Networks, reports uptime of 97% across their Tritium fleet. These high uptime achievements are a major strategic objective for the business and verification of our world-leading technology – beyond those named customers, our global fleet data shows a growing number of customers across the fuel, fleet, and charging network segments achieving between 97% and 99% uptime across their Tritium charger networks.”
Financial Results
Tritium achieved record revenue of $112 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, a year-over-year growth rate of over 286% over the $29 million in revenue for the comparative prior six-month period. The Company also achieved record revenue of $185 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, a year-over-year growth rate of over 115% over the $86 million for the prior fiscal year.
Significant increases in production capacity throughout the fiscal year, including in the first half of the 2023 calendar year, have occurred as Tritium’s Tennessee facility scales, enabling Tritium to convert its backlog into revenue and expand its gross margin as the benefits of operating leverage materialize. The Company still maintains an order backlog valued at approximately $99 million at June 30, 2023, which compares to $149 million for the same timeframe at the end of the previous fiscal year.
Sales orders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $56 million, compared to $105 million for the comparative prior six-month period; the Company also reported sales orders of $146 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, compared to $224 million for the comparative prior fiscal year. The Company expects strong order growth in the second half of the 2023 calendar year as customer forecasts for 2024 deployments are anticipated to translate into purchases. These expectations are substantiated by recent large purchase orders across Tritium’s primary product offerings, which were secured following the June 30, 2023 reporting period from a number of leading industry players, including a major global fuel retailer and independent charge point operators.
Business Update
Tritium continues to expand its working capital investments to meet the continued growth in demand across its customer base. Tritium has inventory assets valued at $140 million at June 30, 2023, comprised of finished goods, raw materials, and work-in-progress, compared to total inventory assets valued at $54 million for the same timeframe in the previous year. The Company also maintained cash and cash equivalents of approximately $29 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $71 million for the same timeframe in the previous year. The Company maintained approximately 160 million common shares outstanding and total borrowings of $195 million at June 30, 2023, of which $127 million consisted external borrowings and $68 million consisted of related party borrowings from shareholders. This compares to cash and cash equivalents, common shares outstanding, and total borrowings of $71 million, 127 million, and $88 million at June 30, 2022, respectively.
The Company maintains its previously issued 2023 revenue and gross margin guidance. Given the Company’s higher focus on its path to profitability versus growth, the Company now expects an advantaged sales mix of higher price and margin products than originally contemplated to drive its revenue and gross margin targets, thereby requiring a lower unit production profile than the previous guidance of 11,000 units.
Gross Margin
The Company reported gross margin of 4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to -18% for the comparative prior six-month period; the Company also reported gross margin of -2% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, compared to -2% for the comparative period. The 4% gross margin achieved in the first half of calendar year 2023 represents a nearly 2,200 basis point improvement over the comparable previous period and was underpinned by continued improvement throughout the six-month period, with record corporate-wide gross margins being achieved as the reporting period concluded. Investors should note that Tritium reports gross margin in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), while certain other publicly traded electric vehicle charging manufacturers report gross margin as revenue less only materials cost of goods sold, excluding costs associated with labor and/or other variable expenses.
Throughout the fiscal year, Tritium saw a number of improvements across its business that contributed to gross margin performance in the second half of the fiscal year, despite the opening of its new Tennessee factory in July 2022 and ramping the factory to full production over the course of the first half, which was expected to dilute overall gross margins. Tritium has seen gross margins benefit from recent order fulfillments, which include price increases negotiated to address components and freight cost inflation driven by the pandemic. Finally, with an increasing proportion of the Company’s production originating from Tennessee rather than Brisbane, the Company is seeing a reduction in freight out costs which contributes to margin expansion.
Easing conditions across global supply chains during the fiscal year compared to the same period last year have been noticeable, with shortening delivery and lead times for certain key product inputs and an easing of the disruption to sea and air freight.
Capital Raise
In September 2023, following this reporting period, the Company secured a financing commitment of up to $75 million, with an initial funding of $25 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds to continue its investment in working capital to meet expected continued strong customer demand in the 2024 calendar year. The Company is engaged with several parties, both financial and strategic, around supporting Tritium’s business. Tritium believes the appetite for its solutions and demand in the marketplace for its offerings remains very strong and growing, although the market for capital for growth and cleantech platforms remains constrained. As such, the Company will continue to prioritize deepening and broadening both existing and new strategic customer relationships with particular emphasis on its path to profitability.
Tennessee Factory and Production Update
Tritium continues to believe that it has the largest published global production plans for DC fast chargers outside China and the largest published planned production capacity onshore in America. Tritium further believes that this production capacity places the Company in a strong position to capitalize on the anticipated surge in demand for Buy America-compliant EV fast chargers over the next five years, due to funding programs like the National Electric Vehicle Incentive (“NEVI”) Formula Program, Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
In March 2023, Tritium began accepting orders for the Company’s first product offering for the NEVI program. Tritium’s NEVI system is expected to achieve the Build America, Buy America Act waiver milestones set by the Federal Highway Administration. In July, Tritium made an announcement that it will provide all fast chargers for the State of Hawai’i’s first round of NEVI funding. Tritium believes that as US states deploy their NEVI funding allocations, the Company will see measurable growth in US orders, particularly in 2024 and 2025.
Several US states have begun to require or propose to require the North American Charging Standard (“NACS”) for NEVI-funded projects. Tritium is prepared to meet this demand and has committed to providing NACS connectors on Tritium chargers in late 2023 or early 2024, both at the point of manufacture and as a retrofit kit post-manufacture. Tritium offers a highly competitive NEVI charging system with four dual-cable 150kW fast chargers, meeting the federal requirement for four Combined Charging Standard (“CCS”) connectors with four NACS connectors to meet customer and driver demand and certain state requirements.
Reporting Schedule
Tritium announces that it has changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31, beginning in the 2024 calendar year. As a result, Tritium expects to file its last report for the fiscal year ended June 30 on Form 20-F and intends to subsequently file interim financials for the six-month period ending December 31, 2023, before beginning an annual reporting cycle of January 1 through December 31 beginning in the 2024 calendar year and beyond.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “aim,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies for the future. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results, including, but not limited to: our history of losses; the ability to successfully manage our growth; the adoption and demand for electronic vehicles including the success of alternative fuels, changes to rebates, tax credits, and the impact of government incentives; the accuracy of our forecasts and projections including those regarding our market opportunity; competition; our ability to secure financing; delays in our manufacturing plans; losses or disruptions in supply or manufacturing partners; risks related to our technology, intellectual property and infrastructure; exemptions to certain U.S. securities laws as a result of our status as a foreign private issuer; and other important risks and uncertainties described in the documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
*Non-GAAP Measures
Tritium prepares audited financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Tritium also discloses certain non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, as we believe that such non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance by providing an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods. Additionally, these figures provide an understanding and evaluation of our trends when comparing our operating results against those of our competitors and over time by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
We calculate forward-looking EBITDA based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP net income (loss). We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking EBITDA guidance and targets to forward looking GAAP net income (loss) because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

LONDON, United Kingdom, August 22, 2023 – Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global developer and manufacturer of direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), and UK charging network evyve, have today reached a partnership milestone, with 150 rapid chargers delivered and installed at retail and hospitality sites across the UK, from Eastbourne to Edinburgh.
The original purchase order for 350 Tritium fast chargers was announced at the beginning of this calendar year. The majority of the 150 chargers manufactured and delivered have been installed at retail sites owned by Greene King pubs.
evyve is dedicated to helping the UK switch from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs, as part of national efforts to achieve carbon net zero by 2050. evyve’s rapidly growing network is essential for the swift transition of the motor industry, providing vehicle charging which is easy to use, accessible, and reliable for Britain’s growing number of EV drivers.
David Nicholl, Tritium Chief Sales Officer, said: “This is a critical time for the development of the EV infrastructure that many industries rely on. Car manufacturers need their customers to have trust in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle charging network, with assurance that they will have great EV charging accessibility, convenience, and reliability. This is another positive step and we’re incredibly pleased to have made this progress with evyve in support of its reliable charging network rollout and ambitions for the UK market.”
According to recent statistics by the UK government, there was a 21% increase in the number of newly registered plug-in vehicles in 2022 compared to the previous year. By the end of December 2022, there were over 1.1 million registered plug-in vehicles, accounting for 2.8% of the total number of vehicles on UK roads.
James Moat, CEO of evyve, said: “We are on a mission to drive sustainable solutions quickly and to improve the UK’s EV infrastructure. Currently a lack of charging infrastructure is often cited as one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption in the UK. As we install our 150th Tritium charger, we want to spread awareness of our partnership and celebrate the swift progress we are making with the deployment of Tritium fast chargers nationwide.”
evyve reports that its network of Tritium DC fast chargers demonstrates incredible reliability, with one of the highest uptime rates of 98%. This uptime rate has been achieved through Tritium’s latest generation modular chargers and is supported by a robust service level agreement. The stations are now widely accessible in multiple locations across the country from Eastbourne in Southern England to Edinburgh in Northern Scotland. The 150th charger has been installed in Bramcote, Nottingham, which is strategic to the area and enables residents and passing visitors to recharge their EV whilst enjoying hospitality provided at the local Greene King pub.

Officials join Tritium executives to discuss US-Australia economic partnership
BRISBANE, Australia, July 28, 2023—Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global leader in direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), today welcomed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy to the company’s headquarters and R&D facility in Brisbane, Australia. The officials joined Tritium executives for a tour of the facility and discussion on the importance of bilateral economic partnerships between the United States and Australia.
“The e-mobility transition requires not only collaboration between the public and private sectors, but also partnerships between nations that share a commitment to a more sustainable future,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “We’re greatly appreciative to Secretary Blinken and Ambassador Kennedy for their interest in Tritium as we continue to build a business that has a significant footprint in both the US and Australia and fulfill our purpose of enabling clean energy around the world.”
Secretary Blinken traveled to Brisbane to attend the Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations, also known as AUSMIN, an annual meeting of US and Australian defense and foreign ministers.
In recent years, governments across both countries have developed nationwide programs to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. In the United States, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, established through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will provide $5 billion over five years to support the development of EV charging infrastructure across the nation’s highways. Separately, Australia’s $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund will support projects that create secure and well-paid jobs, drive regional development, and build Australia’s sovereign capability to capture new opportunities, including the transition to net zero emissions.
“Tritium has been built on Australian roots and scaled through our presence in the American heartland and on the NASDAQ,” Hunter continued. “We’re proud of the deep connection we have to both countries and are eager to continue moving the industry forward on a global scale.”
Tritium was established in Brisbane more than 20 years ago and has offices in Amsterdam and Los Angeles. It opened its largest production facility in Lebanon, Tennessee, in 2022. The company holds the leading market share in both the United States and Australia, having supplied approximately 30% and 75% of the universal DC fast charger currently available in each country, respectively.

Hawai’i expected to be among the first to install fast chargers purchased through the federally funded NEVI program
TORRANCE, California, July 11, 2023—Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global leader in direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced that the company will provide all fast chargers for the State of Hawai’i’s first round of National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program funding. The company believes Tritium is now the first manufacturer to secure a fast charger order through NEVI program funding.
To commemorate this milestone, executives from Tritium, along with project partners Sustainability Partners and National Car Charging, will join officials from the White House, Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, and Hawai’i Department of Transportation (HDOT) for a virtual discussion today about the future of e-mobility nationwide and how partnerships like theirs are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
“Hawai’i is recognized nationwide and around the world for its commitment to sustainability and has long been at the forefront of the e-mobility transition,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “We’re not surprised to see the state act so quickly to ensure their community benefits from the emissions reductions that a rapid technology transition to electric vehicles secures. The NEVI funding is designed to ensure this transition occurs quickly and equitably, and Tritium is pleased to partner with the state and its representatives to bolster Hawai’i’s EV charging infrastructure.”
In September 2022, the Federal Highway Administration approved Hawai’i’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan, granting the state access to $2.6 million of NEVI funding in FY2022. As part of their NEVI deployment plan, HDOT is utilizing its existing contract with Sustainability Partners, a public benefit company mandated to form reliable and enduring partnerships with public institutions for the advancement of their critical infrastructure.
HDOT is using the initial round of NEVI funding to procure eight Tritium NEVI systems, totaling 32 PKM150 (150kW) chargers and 16 power units. The chargers were procured for HDOT by Sustainability Partners from Aloha Charge, a National Car Charging company, and will be equipped with software developed by EV Connect, an EV charging management solutions provider. These fast chargers are expected to be among the first funded and installed under the NEVI program.
Established through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, NEVI will provide $5 billion over five years to support the development of EV charging infrastructure across the nation’s highways, including almost 1000 miles of roadway in Hawai’i. It’s estimated that the state will receive a total of $17.6 million in funding throughout the duration of the NEVI Formula Program.
“Hawai’i is committed to leading the nation in our e-mobility transition and grateful for Tritium’s partnership in this effort,” said Hawai’i Department of Transportation Director Edwin Sniffen. “We’re confident that Tritium’s chargers will provide the fast and reliable service Hawai’i needs as we bolster our EV infrastructure statewide.”
In March, Tritium announced that its NEVI-compliant charging system is available for purchase. Each charger on the company’s system provides 150kW of power to an EV through a reliable and modular fast-charging system. Thanks to multiple chargers and power rectifier units, the Tritium NEVI solution provides backup charger availability for high reliability and site uptime.
“The State of Hawai’i has long been dependent on petroleum for their energy supply, but with this new influx of DC fast-charging infrastructure, we are paving the way for a significant shift in their energy mix and a substantial leap towards greater energy independence,” said Mike Calise, Tritium’s President of the Americas. “NEVI has created an unprecedented opportunity for states across America to revolutionize their EV charging infrastructure. By creating more equitable access to fast chargers, we are not only shaping a sustainable and resilient future for American communities, but also driving a nationwide transformation towards clean transportation.”
During the initial NEVI program phase, HDOT will install charging facilities along the designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.

Tritium commits to providing NACS connectors in late 2023 or early 2024, subject to certification requirements.
TORRANCE, California, July 10, 2023 – Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global leader in direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), supports the Texas Department of Transportation’s proposal to require both the Combined Charging Standard (CCS) and North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors for each National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program-funded charger in the state, and supports the Texas Transportation Commission’s authorization of this proposal.
To assist the State of Texas and other states considering this requirement, Tritium is committed to providing NACS connectors on its chargers by late 2023 or early 2024. On the heels of the Texas Department of Transportation’s proposal, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued an addendum to the state’s NEVI request for proposal to require NACS connectors.
“The US electric vehicle market is dominated by Tesla, which is driving market demand for NACS connectors on public chargers. Tritium makes universal chargers which all electric vehicles can use, so we are connector technology agnostic. We therefore support the Texas Department of Transportation’s proposal, which will provide Tesla drivers with greater charging access and convenience,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “The NEVI program is funded by US taxpayer dollars and aims to increase equal and equitable access to fast charging, to further grow confidence in, and drive up the levels of, EV adoption in the US. The statistics for EV uptake in the US by automaker support policies requiring both CCS and NACS connectors on every fast charger. Tritium looks forward to a future where there is global alignment on a single connector technology, but will continue to support prevailing market demand and government-mandated connector selections in the medium-term.“
Tesla accounted for more than 60% of the US electric vehicle market in 2022, a 41% increase over 2021, according to Experian.
“With the large and increasing number of Teslas on US roadways, and the growing commitment from automakers to incorporate NACS charging ports in new EV models, it is crucial to ensure the futureproofing of public fast-charging infrastructure with NACS connectors,” said Tritium President of the Americas Mike Calise. “By offering both CCS and NACS connectors on each charger, we maximize site utilization for charge point operators, reduce driver wait times, and provide an optimal charging solution to meet the surging demand for EVs in Texas and other states.”
In March, Tritium announced the company’s first NEVI-compliant product offering, with four of Tritium’s 150kW PKM150 charging stations and two power cabinets. This charging system is expected to achieve the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)’s Build America, Buy America Act waiver milestones, which includes two phases announced by the FHWA in February. Tritium’s NEVI-compliant product announcement was followed in June by an announcement that the company expects to make NACS connectors available as an option during manufacture and as a retrofit kit for post-manufacture, including for chargers deployed as part of the NEVI Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program.

BRISBANE, Australia, June 12, 2023 –Tritium DCFC Limited (Tritium) (Nasdaq: DCFC), a global developer and manufacturer of direct current (DC) fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced the company will provide the North American Charging Standard (NACS) as a connector option with its fast chargers.
“Tritium is committed to enabling the rapid transition to electric vehicles by providing our customers and EV drivers with fast and reliable charging options that can charge any model of EV,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “As the EV industry aligns on global technology standards, Tritium is committed to supporting any connectors which are widely used in our primary markets of Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific region. We look forward to adding Tesla’s NACS connector to our US chargers, and to our chargers in any other markets which decide to adopt the NACS connector, to provide a seamless and simple charging experience for the growing range of EV models.”
Tritium’s chargers are already compatible with CCS1, CCS2, and CHAdeMO connectors, which are widely used across the globe. Tritium’s fast chargers can connect directly to Tesla vehicles in Europe and APAC, where Tesla vehicles currently use CCS2 connectors. In the United States, Tesla vehicles use a proprietary NACS connector, and those vehicles have required an adaptor when charging outside the Tesla charging network. The addition of the NACS connector to Tritium chargers in the US market will enhance the experience of Tesla drivers using Tritium fast chargers, allowing them to be charged without requiring an adaptor.
Tritium expects the recent announcements from GM and Ford in relation to the adoption of NACS for their EVs to contribute to the hastening of electric vehicle adoption. Like any other public infrastructure, Tritium benefits when more EVs are on the road, demanding more utilization of and access to DC fast charging.
“This milestone reinforces Tritium’s dedication to driving the adoption of electric vehicles, promoting sustainable transportation solutions, and revolutionizing the way drivers and fleet operators fast charge their EVs,” said Tritium President of the Americas Mike Calise. “We look forward to providing the NACS connector option on Tritium fast chargers for use across North America, including for the NEVI and CFI programs.”
Tritium expects to make NACS connectors available as an option during manufacture and as a retrofit kit for post-manufacture, including for chargers deployed as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program.

*Non-GAAP Measures
Tritium prepares audited financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Tritium also discloses certain non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA as we believe that such non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance by providing an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods. Additionally, these figures provide an understanding and evaluation of our trends when comparing our operating results against those of our competitors and over time by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
We calculate forward-looking EBITDA based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP net income (loss). We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking EBITDA guidance and targets to forward looking GAAP net income (loss) because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
