Quanergy Systems, Inc. (“Quanergy”), a leading provider of
OPA-based solid state LiDAR sensors and smart 3D solutions for
automotive and IoT, today announced preliminary financial results
for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.
On January 6, 2022, CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: CCAC)
(“CCAC”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company,
announced that CCAC’s registration statement on Form S-4, relating
to the previously announced proposed business combination (the
“Business Combination”) with Quanergy, has been declared effective
by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). An
extraordinary general meeting (“Extraordinary Meeting”) to approve
the Business Combination is scheduled to be held on January 31,
2022 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Today, Quanergy announced preliminary revenue for the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2021 of $1.503 million, representing
year-over-year growth of 114% compared to the fourth quarter of
2020. Sequentially, 2021 fourth quarter revenue rose by 32% versus
2021 third quarter revenue.
Full year 2021 revenue was $3.928 million, up 30% from the prior
year. This compared favorably to the company’s plan of $3.6 million
outlined at its October 29th analyst day.
As with the third quarter in 2021, revenue growth in the fourth
quarter of 2021 continued to be fortified by increasing demand from
smart city and security applications with outcomes enabled by
Quanergy’s unique pairing of M Series hardware and proprietary
Qortex DTC software for flow management solutions. Importantly,
fourth quarter revenue also saw a notable contribution from sales
to the industrial market supported by the company’s new M1
sensor.
Quanergy ended the fourth quarter of 2021 with $26.2 million in
cash and cash equivalents. This compares to $34.2 million in cash
and cash equivalents in the third quarter of 2021.
"Operating momentum continued to improve in the fourth quarter
of 2021 with the company registering its third consecutive
year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter improvement in revenue growth,"
said Kevin Kennedy, Quanergy’s Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. "We are further encouraged by the fact that the company
received numerous orders that have not shipped yet, supporting our
continued growth outlook.”
