ChargePoint Holdings Inc. published the transcript of its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 earnings call. The call was led by President, CEO and Director Richard Wilmer, CFO and Chief Accounting Officer Mansi Khetani, and Vice President of Communications John Paolo Canton, with analysts from Needham, Oppenheimer, ROTH Capital Partners, TD Cowen, Goldman Sachs and B. Riley participating. Management highlighted a “strong finish to fiscal 2026,” with fourth-quarter revenue of $109 million at the high end of guidance and non-GAAP gross margin at a record 33%. “Cash utilization from operations was minimal and much better than planned,” Wilmer said, while Khetani noted that excluding a $40 million debt-transaction-related payment, fiscal 2026 net cash usage was $43 million versus $133 million the prior year. The company also emphasized improving operational execution and reliability, with Wilmer saying stations down “have been reduced by over half in the last year and are now below 1%,” and first-time-right deployments improving to “above 95%.” ChargePoint discussed product and growth drivers, pointing to Europe as a key area of momentum and new hardware platforms expected to lift margins. Wilmer said a next-generation DC fast charging product with a “substantially better margin profile” is expected to ramp into production in the second half of the year, and added the company has not pushed price increases and does not anticipate doing so. On outlook, Khetani guided first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue to $90 million to $100 million, citing typical seasonality and a prudent stance on the macro environment. The company also introduced new KPIs tied to its software-first strategy and network effects, including nearly 130,000 software-only managed ports, 1.48 million monthly active users (up 8% year over year), and more than 100,000 AC ports exceeding 30% utilization at least one day in January 2026. Wilmer also underscored the role of AI in efficiency and product development, saying in some areas the company is “doing twice as much work with half as many people,” and described planned AI-driven product and software improvements, including a major mobile app update aimed at steering drivers to reliable, amenity-rich charging locations.
