"Achieving positive adjusted EBITDA a quarter ahead of our target is a monumental milestone and it reflects the discipline we have built across
Blink over the past eighteen months. As we become Blink Energy, we see exciting opportunities to manage energy more intelligently across our charging network, which benefits Blink, electricity grid resources, our hosts and our drivers. We intend to build on this momentum and continue our trajectory of positive adjusted EBITDA. We are also bringing the same level of focus, discipline, and accountability to accelerate revenue growth in 2027," said Mike Battaglia, Chairman and CEO of Blink Charging.
Michael
Bercovich, Chief Financial Officer of Blink Charging, added: "Delivering positive adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million in the third quarter, compared with a $(7.3) million loss a year ago, represents a historical milestone in our financial transformation and reflects continued progress toward sustainable profitability. Our quarterly non-GAAP operating expenses declined 46% year-over-year, and that cost discipline and quality of revenue focus allowed us to generate positive adjusted EBITDA. We expect to maintain positive adjusted
EBITDA through the fourth quarter of 2026.
We ended the quarter with approximately $30.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt7, giving us the flexibility to keep investing selectively in high-quality opportunities."

QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenues
Total revenue for the third quarter was approximately $18.4 million, a 15.1% sequential decrease from $21.7 million in the second quarter of 20266 and a 32.0% decrease from $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. Revenue came in below Blink's internal projections, primarily reflecting the timing of certain customer projects that were not completed and recognized during the quarter. Blink expects these projects to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customer schedules and project execution.
Product revenues were $6.4 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 51% year-over-year, and representing approximately 35% of total revenue.
Service revenue was approximately $10.0 million, compared with $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, a 6.9% year-over-year decrease, entirely driven by deliberate non-renewal of a large contract in Europe. Network fee revenue, a recurring component of service revenue, increased 6.3% year-over-year to approximately $2.9 million. Charging service revenue decreased 11.5% year-over-year, reflecting Blink's continued focus on contracts with attractive margin profiles as described above.
Blink continues to make progress towards its long-term objective of generating approximately 80% of revenues from recurring and repeatable revenue streams, which represented approximately 55% of total revenue in the third quarter.
Other revenues, including warranty fees, grants and rebates, and other revenues, were approximately $1.9 million, up 1.1% sequentially.
Car-sharing revenues were zero in the third quarter, following the divestiture of Envoy Technologies on June 5, 2026, compared with $1.2 million in the pr
