Our strong results this quarter reflect our commitment to execution as we continue to build on our established leadership position in EV charging.

EV 充電需要符合電能計量精度要求,我們將繼續開展與此相關的大量軟件工作。
The build-out of the new fueling network is supported by our utility and energy partners, and we saw there was an estimated 200% increase in total approved utility customer incentive program funding in North America over the last 12 months.
新加油網絡的建設得到了我們的公用事業和能源合作夥伴的支持,我們看到在過去 12 個月中,北美批准的公用事業客戶激勵計劃資金總額估計增加了 200%。

As we saw over the past year, our segment diversity helped us to mitigate the impact of COVID related slowdowns in the commercial business, thanks to strength in our fleet and residential business.
正如我們在過去一年所看到的那樣,由於我們的車隊和住宅業務實力強勁,我們的細分市場多樣性幫助我們減輕了與 COVID 相關的商業業務放緩的影響。

We added a record number of new customers in Q1, bringing the total to more than 5,000.
我們在第一季度增加了創紀錄的新客戶數量,使總數達到 5,000 多個。
Existing customers expanded ports as EV penetration increased, and this drove top line growth in the quarter, with a customer rebuy rate at well over 60% in both North America and Europe.
隨著電動汽車普及率的提高,現有客戶擴大了港口,這推動了本季度的收入增長,北美和歐洲的客戶再購買率均超過 60%。

雖然我們繼續觀察到大多數加油是 2 級,但我們為一系列用例提供更高功率的直流快速充電解決方案,包括駕駛員需要快速加油的情況,例如快速加油設置和車隊倉庫.
Today, more than 3,500 of our active ports are DC fast charge.

We continue to enable a winning driver experience with ChargePoint integrated on a range of screens from our highly rated mobile app to in car infotainment systems to proprietary auto OEM apps.
我們繼續通過集成在一系列屏幕上的 ChargePoint 實現成功的駕駛體驗,從我們高度評價的移動應用程序到車載信息娛樂系統再到專有的汽車 OEM 應用程序。
We announced our support for Android Auto in April, and this builds on our prior vehicle integration announcements, including Apple CarPlay, Volvo and Polestar, among others.
我們在 4 月份宣布了對 Android Auto 的支持,這是基於我們之前的汽車集成公告,包括 Apple CarPlay、沃爾沃和 Polestar 等。
Now I will discuss in more detail 2 of our focus areas for growth, our fleet business and Europe operations.
現在我將更詳細地討論我們增長的兩個重點領域,即我們的車隊業務和歐洲業務。
Our fleet business includes delivery and logistics, sales, service and motor pool and shared mobility verticals in both North America and Europe.
我們的車隊業務包括北美和歐洲的交付和物流、銷售、服務和汽車池以及共享移動垂直領域。

Fleet billings in the quarter were comprised of a diverse group of clients with a wide array of needs, which speaks to the breadth of our solution offering.

正如 Pasquale 所指出的那樣,新客戶的獲取特別強勁,回頭客業務是我們戰略的基石,佔總賬單的 60% 以上,展示了我們的土地和擴展模型的力量,因為小額首次購買創造了粘性關係和顯著的重複率。

因此,我們繼續預計今年的收入將達到 1.95 億美元至 2.05 億美元,這與我們在上次電話會議上提供的指導意見一致,處於中點,反映出同比增長 37%。

We are an index for the electrification of mobility, a transition which we believe promises many years of growth ahead.
我們是移動電氣化的指標,我們相信這一轉變有望在未來多年實現增長。

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Colin Rusch from Oppenheimer & Co.
(操作員說明)我們的第一個問題來自 Oppenheimer & Co. 的 Colin Rusch。
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
You guys, can you hear me okay?
伙計們,你能聽到我說話嗎?
Apologies for the trouble.
很抱歉給您帶來麻煩。
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Colin, we can hear you.
科林,我們能聽到你的聲音。
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Okay.
好的。
All right.
好的。
Perfect.
完美的。
Can you talk about the competitive dynamics with all the capital that's been raised on the market?
你能談談市場上籌集的所有資金的競爭動態嗎?
And how you think about consolidation as we see all of these deployments go out and potentially work and potentially not work?
您如何看待整合,因為我們看到所有這些部署都已經結束,可能有效,也可能無效?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Colin, could you clarify that with respect to the...
科林,你能澄清一下關於...
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Yes.
是的。
I mean -- so yes, we're expecting a bunch of your competitors to roll out some pretty healthy networks.
我的意思是 - 所以是的,我們期待你的一群競爭對手推出一些非常健康的網絡。
And some of those business models may or may not survive.
其中一些商業模式可能會或可能不會生存。
So I'm wondering about how you think about navigating that environment where there's a lot of capital going into the infrastructure and preparing for potential consolidation in the space, and defending your market share along the way?
因此,我想知道您如何考慮在有大量資本進入基礎設施並為該領域的潛在整合做準備的環境中導航,並在此過程中捍衛您的市場份額?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Well, I mean, as you know very well, we've developed a lot of our business models over a decade of real-world experience in the EV charging market.
好吧,我的意思是,正如您所知,我們在 EV 充電市場十年的實際經驗中開發了許多商業模式。
So we're confident in our approach.
所以我們對我們的方法充滿信心。
We're not frankly spending a whole lot of time propondering that particular question.
坦率地說,我們並沒有花很多時間來思考這個特定問題。
We're heads down and executing.
我們低著頭執行。
And if you look at the numbers that we've just reported for the quarter, we're getting the results, we think, that are commensurate with the model working that we've been refining over a decade, as I said.
如果你看看我們剛剛報告的本季度的數字,我們認為,我們得到的結果與我們十多年來一直在改進的模型相稱,正如我所說的。
And with respect to capital coming in, this is a capital-light model, so the amount of capital that's coming into different players in the market, it doesn't necessarily affect us because we're not dependent on a capital-heavy model.
關於資本的流入,這是一個輕資本模式,所以進入市場不同參與者的資本數量不一定會影響我們,因為我們不依賴於資本密集型模式。
In fact, I think capital-heavy models definitely have a challenge in that there is that, that governor, so to speak, on the forward velocity based on the need for continued capital where we don't have that.
事實上,我認為資本密集型模型肯定存在挑戰,可以說,州長基於對持續資本的需求而前進的速度,而我們沒有。
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Colin William Rusch - MD & Senior Analyst
Perfect.
完美的。
And then just around the supply chain and how you guys are managing some of the risk on that side.
然後就是圍繞供應鏈以及你們如何管理這方面的一些風險。
Could you talk about any sort of safety stock that you guys are keeping or feel like you need to keep potentially at this point?
你能談談你們目前持有或覺得可能需要持有的任何類型的安全庫存嗎?
Or is it sort of environment where you're able to get what you need and pass on any incremental expenses on to customers?
還是在這種環境中,您能夠獲得所需的東西並將任何增量費用轉嫁給客戶?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
I'll make some comments, and I'll let Rex comment as well.
我會發表一些評論,我也會讓 Rex 發表評論。
We obviously are watching that entire set of issues very, very, very closely.
顯然,我們正在非常、非常、非常密切地關注整套問題。
Our operations team is doubled down significantly and making sure that we've got good assurance of supply.
我們的運營團隊顯著增加了一倍,並確保我們有良好的供應保證。
We're working with our contract manufacturers to put in safeguards.
我們正在與我們的合同製造商合作以實施保障措施。
Nevertheless, we are seeing issues inside as we -- inside the quarter as we execute.
儘管如此,我們在我們執行的季度內看到了問題。
We've mitigated them.
我們已經減輕了它們。
As you've seen in the results, we haven't reported any problems so far with the supply chain hindering our performance.
正如您在結果中看到的那樣,到目前為止,我們還沒有報告任何阻礙我們績效的供應鏈問題。
And we're going to continue to put in the necessary mitigation mechanisms to guarantee that we've got a part flow into our contract manufacturers to support our forecast.
我們將繼續採用必要的緩解機制,以保證我們有一部分流入我們的合同製造商以支持我們的預測。
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Yes, Colin.
是的,科林。
This is Rex.
這是雷克斯。
I think if you look back on Q1, we had some impact due to supply chain, but it was immaterial and well mitigated, as Pat said.
我認為,如果你回顧第一季度,我們會因供應鏈而產生一些影響,但正如帕特所說,它並不重要並且得到了很好的緩解。
It did cost us a little bit of expedite and other fees that we still managed to improve our gross margin sequentially.
它確實花費了我們一些加速和其他費用,我們仍然設法連續提高我們的毛利率。
So that's good.
所以這很好。
As we look forward to this quarter, we've taken what we know about supply chain into account in providing our guidance.
展望本季度,我們在提供指導時考慮了我們對供應鏈的了解。
And then as we look out into the second half of the year, which against our annual guidance, implies very, very nice growth numbers sequentially for Q3 and Q4.
然後當我們展望今年下半年時,這與我們的年度指導相反,這意味著第三季度和第四季度的連續增長數字非常非常好。
We're managing that very, very closely.
我們正在非常、非常密切地管理它。
And so we don't have any conclusions on that yet, but we were definitely taking the things we see on the supply chain into account.
所以我們還沒有任何結論,但我們肯定會考慮我們在供應鏈上看到的事情。

Our next question comes from Shreyas Patil from Wolfe Research.
我們的下一個問題來自 Wolfe Research 的 Shreyas Patil。
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
So I just wanted to ask about the full year guidance.
所以我只想問一下全年指導。
I mean, we've seen really strong demand for EVs in the U.S. and Europe.
我的意思是,我們已經看到美國和歐洲對電動汽車的需求非常強勁。
U.S. sales are up 100% year-to-date.
今年迄今為止,美國的銷售額增長了 100%。
Europe is up something like 89%.
歐洲上漲了大約 89%。
And you talked about previously how correlated the business is to the broader EV demand.
你之前談到了業務與更廣泛的電動汽車需求的相關性。
So just thinking about, if we do end up seeing stronger sales, I mean, is there anything -- is there anything that we need to think about in terms of like either a lag effect or anything like that, that would prevent that upside potential if demand does come in stronger?
所以想一想,如果我們最終看到更強勁的銷售,我的意思是,有什麼 - 有什麼我們需要考慮的,比如滯後效應或類似的東西,這會阻止這種上升潛力如果需求確實變得更強勁?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
So we definitely believe that we are very nicely correlated to the availability of EVs.
所以我們絕對相信我們與電動汽車的可用性非常相關。
No question about that.
毫無疑問。
As we look at the second half of the year from the perspective where we are today, as we said in our prepared remarks, we -- we're watching reopenings here and in Europe.
當我們從今天的角度來看今年下半年時,正如我們在準備好的發言中所說的那樣,我們正在關注這里和歐洲的重新開放。
There's always a possibility that goes really well.
總有可能進展順利。
But there's also the possibility that something happens and you snap back because you can see what's happened in India, for example.
但也有可能發生某些事情,你會迅速反擊,因為你可以看到印度發生的事情,例如。
So as we look out, and then, of course, the supply chain thing that we just mentioned.
因此,當我們向外看時,當然還有我們剛才提到的供應鏈問題。
So we think it's prudent to be cautious now.
因此,我們認為現在謹慎行事是明智的。
I think we're going to be massively smarter in 90 days when we have our next call because we'll have Q2 behind us and really good visibility into those external factors as we look at Q3 and Q4.
我認為我們將在下一次通話的 90 天內變得更加聰明,因為我們將擁有第二季度,並且在我們查看第三季度和第四季度時能夠很好地了解這些外部因素。
So I think it just made sense to confirm guidance this time, and then we'll take a really hard look at this for the Q3 -- Q2 call, excuse me.
所以我認為這次確認指導是有意義的,然後我們將在第三季度認真研究這個——第二季度電話會議,對不起。
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
Okay.
好的。
Great.
偉大的。
And then on the network gross margin.
然後是網絡毛利率。
So it looks like you saw a good improvement versus Q4.
所以看起來你看到了比第四季度更好的改進。
It looked like it was up maybe 140 basis points and obviously up meaningfully year-over-year.
看起來它可能上漲了 140 個基點,並且明顯同比上漲。
How should we think about the main drivers of margin improvement on the network side?
我們應該如何思考網絡側利潤率提升的主要驅動因素?
And where do you see margins eventually reaching?
您認為利潤率最終會達到什麼水平?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
So clearly, as we said in our prepared remarks, there is a meaningful mix component in our business.
很明顯,正如我們在準備好的評論中所說,我們的業務中有一個有意義的組合組成部分。
So with the advent of the pandemic, workplace has been -- it's been solid, but it hasn't had the growth that it's had historically over the last, I don't know, x several quarters.
因此,隨著大流行病的到來,工作場所一直很穩固,但它並沒有像過去那樣歷史上的增長,我不知道,x 幾個季度。
DCs performed -- excuse me, fleets performed very well, which includes DC, there's also fast fill and our home business is growing extremely strongly over the last 2, 3 quarters.
DC 表現——對不起,機隊表現非常好,其中包括 DC,也有快速填充,我們的家庭業務在過去 2、3 個季度中增長非常強勁。
Those are on the lower end of the gross margin curve for us.
對我們來說,這些處於毛利率曲線的低端。
Individually, we don't give out gross margin by product.
單獨地,我們不按產品給出毛利率。
But to understand mix, you can tell that those are the 2 guardrails.
但是要了解 mix,您可以看出這些是 2 個護欄。
As we look -- we did have a good performance internally, I think, this quarter.
正如我們所看到的——我認為本季度我們在內部確實表現良好。
So the biggest drivers of gross margin are mix.
因此,毛利率的最大驅動因素是混合。
And then as we go up, both the operational improvement curve, the cost reduction efforts that we're doing on components, and then obviously, growth in workplace and commercial, those are all very, very positive influences on gross margin as we look out.
然後隨著我們的上升,運營改善曲線,我們在組件上所做的成本降低工作,然後顯然,工作場所和商業的增長,這些都對毛利率產生了非常非常積極的影響,正如我們所看到的.
I still believe that we should be comfortably in the mid- to high 30s as we look out a couple, 3 years from now.
我仍然相信,當我們展望 3 年後的一對夫婦時,我們應該舒適地處於 30 多歲的中期。
And then I think we have steady improvements ahead of us for this year.
然後我認為我們今年有穩定的改進。
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
Shreyas Patil - Research Analyst
Okay.
好的。
Great.
偉大的。
And if I could just sneak one last one in.
如果我能偷偷最後一個進去。
Just obviously, you talked about fleet earlier in the call.
很明顯,你在電話中早些時候談到了艦隊。
And it's -- we've seen a number of companies talking about the fleet charging opportunity.
而且它——我們已經看到許多公司在談論車隊充電機會。
And that even includes a Ford, which talked about it last week at their Investor Day.
這甚至包括一輛福特,上週在他們的投資者日上談到了它。
So just trying to think about how -- what are some of the areas that differentiate ChargePoint in the fleet space?
所以只是想想想如何 - 在車隊空間中區分 ChargePoint 的一些領域是什麼?
And how you think about positioning there?
你如何看待在那裡的定位?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Well, I think there are 2 main drivers to our advantage in the fleet space.
好吧,我認為我們在艦隊領域的優勢有兩個主要驅動因素。
First, we charge anything that rolls.
首先,我們對任何滾動的東西收費。
So there's no OEM specifics in our solution, is completely OEM neutral.
所以我們的解決方案中沒有 OEM 細節,完全是 OEM 中立的。
So also, we're a very complete solution in the fleet space.
因此,我們在艦隊領域也是一個非常完整的解決方案。
It's all-encompassing, a broad product line on the software side in both the charter control, the energy management and the vehicle scheduling as well as a full complementary line of hardware products of all the different speeds and feeds necessary to adequately service a fleet customer, most fleets have a good mix of vehicle types and vehicle sizes and vehicle charging needs, and we can do that, all with one solution.
它是包羅萬象的,在包機控制、能源管理和車輛調度方面的軟件方面的廣泛產品線,以及充分服務車隊客戶所需的所有不同速度和饋送的完整互補硬件產品線,大多數車隊都很好地混合了車輛類型和車輛尺寸以及車輛充電需求,而我們可以通過一個解決方案做到這一點。
So we're real bullish on our fleet products, and we're not sitting still either.
因此,我們非常看好我們的機隊產品,而且我們也不會坐以待斃。
There's a tremendous amount going in R&D there.
那裡有大量的研發工作。

Our next question comes from Gabe Daoud from Cowen.
我們的下一個問題來自 Cowen 的 Gabe Daoud。
Gabriel J. Daoud - MD & Senior Analyst
Gabriel J. Daoud - MD & Senior Analyst
I was wondering if you can maybe give us a little color around R&D spend.
我想知道你是否可以給我們一些關於研發支出的顏色。
On a run rate basis, $25 million this quarter.
按運行率計算,本季度為 2500 萬美元。
How does that trend as we move throughout the balance of this year?
隨著我們在今年餘下時間的發展,這種趨勢如何?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
So I would answer that, both on R&D and more broadly, we are definitely looking at the trends in the market right now and where we think investments need to go to take advantage of higher vehicle availability, not only in passenger, but in the fleet space.
所以我要回答的是,無論是在研發方面還是在更廣泛的方面,我們都在關注目前的市場趨勢,以及我們認為需要投資的地方,以利用更高的車輛可用性,不僅是在乘客方面,而且在車隊方面空間。
So we've made an affirmative decision in the company to put additional energy behind our efforts.
因此,我們在公司做出了一個肯定的決定,為我們的努力投入更多的精力。
So it has gone up, and I would expect our OpEx generally to trend a little north this year.
所以它已經上升了,我預計今年我們的 OpEx 總體上會向北傾斜。
And again, it's because we've got a lot of product introductions that we want to do in the not-too-distant future.
再一次,這是因為我們有很多產品介紹,我們想在不久的將來做。
There's a lot of customer support that touches both R&D and operations and customer support.
有很多客戶支持涉及研發和運營以及客戶支持。
The sales and marketing side, we're going heavier there generally and particularly in Europe because our land and expand model just proves itself every quarter with the customer additions we showed this quarter and also a very consistent 60-plus percent organic refi business.
在銷售和營銷方面,我們在那里普遍加大力度,特別是在歐洲,因為我們的土地和擴展模式每個季度都通過我們本季度展示的客戶增加以及非常一致的 60% 以上的有機再融資業務證明了自己。
So we -- as we look at the environment externally and given the fact that we have the scale we have already, it just makes all the sense in the world to us to put energy behind this.
因此,當我們從外部審視環境並考慮到我們已經擁有的規模這一事實時,我們將精力投入其中對我們來說在世界上都是有意義的。
What you'll see longer term is that our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue will trend down, but in the very short run, from a dollars perspective, I expect it to trend up.
從長遠來看,你會看到我們的運營費用佔收入的百分比將呈下降趨勢,但在很短的時間內,從美元的角度來看,我預計它會呈上升趨勢。
Gabriel J. Daoud - MD & Senior Analyst
Gabriel J. Daoud - MD & Senior Analyst
Got it.
知道了。
Got it.
知道了。
Okay.
好的。
That's helpful.
這很有幫助。
And then as a follow-up, you kind of hit on it, but last quarter, you'd also mentioned the potential rollout of a new product offering focused on Europe.
然後作為後續行動,你有點成功,但上個季度,你還提到了可能推出針對歐洲的新產品。
Is there any update there or anything you could talk to around that?
那裡有任何更新或您可以就此進行討論嗎?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
No, just stay tuned for general product updates in the future.
不,請繼續關注未來的一般產品更新。

Our next question comes from Craig Irwin from ROTH Capital Partners.
我們的下一個問題來自 ROTH Capital Partners 的 Craig Irwin。
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
I wanted to ask a little bit about the DC fast charging products.
我想問一下直流快充產品。
Can you maybe update us on the margin plan there?
您能否向我們更新那裡的保證金計劃?
Where you are as far as your longer-term plan for increasing margins?
就提高利潤率的長期計劃而言,您的進展如何?
Do we need to see some of these product introductions for fleets and other markets for you to meet your longer-term targets there?
我們是否需要看到一些針對車隊和其他市場的產品介紹,以便您在那裡實現長期目標?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
So as Rex mentioned, we don't talk about the particulars of gross margin by product.
因此,正如 Rex 所提到的,我們不討論產品毛利率的細節。
We don't break that out.
我們不會打破它。
What I can say is that the quarter saw -- this past quarter saw some great work in margin improvement, specifically on the existing product line.
我能說的是,這個季度看到了——上個季度在利潤率提高方面做了一些出色的工作,特別是在現有產品線上。
So to your question, are we waiting for a breakthrough on a new product line?
那麼對於你的問題,我們是否在等待新產品線的突破?
Or are we continuing to make improvements on the existing product line as it matures?
還是隨著現有產品線的成熟,我們繼續對其進行改進?
It's definitely the latter.
肯定是後者。
We're seeing planned as we execute margin improvements and not just in the fast charge products, but across the board.
當我們執行利潤率改進時,我們看到了計劃,不僅僅是在快速充電產品中,而是在整個領域。
I'll repeat one point that Rex made because I think it's pretty indicative.
我將重複 Rex 提出的一點,因為我認為它非常具有指示性。
We've improved the margin quarter-over-quarter, as Rex mentioned, and that was in the face of having to expand a little bit more on COGS because of some of the supply chain mitigations we had to put in place.
正如 Rex 提到的那樣,我們已經提高了季度利潤率,而且由於我們必須採取一些供應鏈緩解措施,因此不得不在 COGS 上擴大一點。
So we outperformed and only had that outperformance drag down a little, but not -- but still outperformed.
所以我們跑贏大盤,只是稍微拖累了跑贏大盤,但不是——但仍然跑贏大盤。
It was only dragged out a little by the mitigation cost on the supply chain.
它只是被供應鏈上的緩解成本拖了一點。
So we're comfortable.
所以我們很舒服。
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Okay.
好的。
So most investors really want to pick through the margin discussion fairly -- in a fairly detailed manner.
因此,大多數投資者真的希望以相當詳細的方式公平地選擇保證金討論。
So one of the things that has been said in the past is that the mix of products into the end of the year, and obviously, the revenue are a large part of the expectations for a strong margin rebound, particularly as back to work gets commercial market really moving again, as I understand, those are your highest margin products.
因此,過去說過的一件事是產品組合到年底,顯然,收入是對強勁利潤率反彈預期的很大一部分,尤其是在恢復工作變得商業化的情況下市場真的又動了,據我所知,那些是你們利潤率最高的產品。
Can you maybe walk us through what we should be looking at there to see something in the 30% or 30% plus range is achievable as we exit your fiscal year?
您能否帶我們了解一下我們應該在那裡看到的東西,以便在我們退出您的財政年度時可以實現 30% 或 30% 以上的目標?
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
It sounds a lot like a question for annual gross margin guidance.
這聽起來很像是年度毛利率指導的問題。
But what I can tell you is to amplify one thing that Pat said, we really had some very, very good improvements this past quarter across the board and particularly in a couple of places where it was very impactful and very much needed.
但我可以告訴你的是放大帕特所說的一件事,我們在過去的一個季度確實取得了一些非常非常好的改進,特別是在幾個非常有影響力和非常需要的地方。
I think the -- if you look in the second half of the year, clearly, if we get back to work and the mix starts to shift back to a more normalized mix for the company, that's going to have a very positive impact on the resulting gross margin.
我認為 - 如果你看看今年下半年,很明顯,如果我們重新開始工作並且組合開始轉變為更正常的公司組合,那將對公司產生非常積極的影響由此產生的毛利率。
I would say with that, interestingly enough, we think commercial should come back, but that doesn't mean that the other products are going to roll off.
我想說的是,有趣的是,我們認為商業應該回歸,但這並不意味著其他產品將會下線。
So we're not -- we feel like the trends for those -- the part of the business, it's slightly on the lower margin side is going to continue.
所以我們不是 - 我們覺得那些趨勢 - 業務的一部分,它在較低的利潤率方面將繼續下去。
But net-net, I feel very good about continued improvement in gross margin throughout the balance of this year.
但淨淨,我對今年餘下時間毛利率的持續改善感到非常滿意。
I hesitate to call a number at the end of the year just because that would be guidance.
我猶豫要不要在年底打電話給一個號碼,因為那將是指導。
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Understood.
明白了。
And last question, if I may, I'll slip this one in.
最後一個問題,如果可以的話,我會把這個問題放進去。
So you guys are doing exactly what you said you would do, executing well, both in North America and Europe.
所以你們正在按照你們所說的去做,在北美和歐洲都表現出色。
You've got fleet handled.
你已經處理了艦隊。
You've got a road map with new products, that's expected.
您已經有了新產品的路線圖,這是意料之中的。
Many of the SPAC IPOs are looking at the competitive environment and trying to pull forward the opportunity.
許多 SPAC IPO 都在關注競爭環境,並試圖抓住機會。
Probably the biggest opportunity for ChargePoint would be Europe and the new products for Europe and the more aggressive market positioning there.
ChargePoint 最大的機會可能是歐洲和歐洲的新產品以及那裡更積極的市場定位。
Is there a possibility we could see the ChargePoint take a more aggressive stance as far as expansion in Europe?
就歐洲擴張而言,我們是否有可能看到 ChargePoint 採取更激進的立場?
Or are you moving at a measured rate based on a preexisting plan to ensure no unforeseen challenges?
或者您是否根據預先存在的計劃以可衡量的速度移動,以確保不會出現不可預見的挑戰?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Well, I mean, I think philosophically, we've been actually in an aggressive posture with respect to our investment in Europe for quite some time now because we believe in the geography as being incredibly relevant for us globally.
好吧,我的意思是,我認為從哲學上講,我們實際上在相當長一段時間內對我們在歐洲的投資採取了積極的姿態,因為我們相信地理對我們在全球範圍內具有難以置信的相關性。
So I don't think we need to change our posture there.
所以我認為我們不需要改變我們的立場。
But again, I don't think that's not an indication that we're not being aggressive already.
但同樣,我認為這並不表示我們還沒有積極進取。
I think we're being adequately aggressive.
我認為我們已經足夠積極了。
Rex, any other comment?
雷克斯,還有其他意見嗎?
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Yes.
是的。
The only other thing I would add is we have, in effect, almost doubled our headcount in Europe over the last 2, 3 quarters.
我要補充的唯一另一件事是,實際上,在過去的 2、3 個季度中,我們在歐洲的員工人數幾乎翻了一番。
And we're not finished with the hiring plan that we have there for this year.
我們還沒有完成今年的招聘計劃。
So we're really putting a lot of players in the field.
所以我們真的讓很多玩家參與其中。
One of the things I've said internally is, from a headcount perspective and a reach perspective in Europe, we're one of the largest companies in our space in Europe when it comes to the number of people that we have attacking that market.
我在內部說過的一件事是,從歐洲的員工人數和影響力的角度來看,就我們攻擊該市場的人數而言,我們是歐洲最大的公司之一。
And that doesn't count any of the incredibly long list of things that they get from our operations in North America.
這還不算他們從我們在北美的業務中獲得的長得令人難以置信的清單中的任何一項。
So it's an extension, and yet it's still larger.
所以它是一個擴展,但它仍然更大。
So I think our coverage there has improved markedly and will be a competitive advantage.
所以我認為我們在那裡的覆蓋面已經顯著提高,將成為一個競爭優勢。
And I think the things that we've done on the roaming front are excellent.
我認為我們在漫遊方面所做的工作非常出色。
Our focus on network and software, we think is the right strategy.
我們專注於網絡和軟件,我們認為這是正確的策略。
And then obviously, as you referenced, there are a lot of additional solutions that we'll be providing attached to that over the next several quarters.
然後很明顯,正如您所提到的,在接下來的幾個季度中,我們將提供許多附加的解決方案。
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
And one more thing to note, which I think is a significant issue, I think through your modeling is the scale -- achieving global scale helps tremendously in gross margin.
還有一件事要注意,我認為這是一個重要問題,我認為通過你的建模是規模——實現全球規模對毛利率有很大幫助。
So our scale in North America on a market share basis is great, but it's an overall still relatively small unit volume market as compared to where it's going.
因此,我們在北美的市場份額規模很大,但與它要去的地方相比,它的整體單位體積市場仍然相對較小。
As that continues and as there's cross-regional product line leverage in supply chain and support operations and other elements of gross margin, we should see an advantage there.
隨著這種情況的繼續,並且由於在供應鍊和支持運營以及毛利率的其他要素中存在跨區域產品線槓桿作用,我們應該在那裡看到優勢。
If we can execute on the vision, which is to be significant in Europe, significant in fleet and significant in our North American commercial business.
如果我們能夠實現這一願景,這將在歐洲、機隊和我們的北美商業業務中發揮重要作用。
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
Craig Edward Irwin - MD & Senior Research Analyst
So a point of clarification, right, significant in the North American business.
所以澄清一點,對,在北美業務中很重要。
A 70% plus share of the network endpoints.
70% 以上的網絡端點份額。
Is that a logical goal for you to chase in Europe?
這是你在歐洲追求的合乎邏輯的目標嗎?
Is that something that the level of investment is sufficient?
那是投資水平足夠的東西嗎?
Or you would be happy with a much lower share?

So when we look out with our financial lens over a multiyear period, I'm not going to put a number to that, but our assumptions are that we get comfortably into the 20s in Europe.
因此,當我們從多年的財務角度來看時,我不會給出一個數字,但我們的假設是我們可以輕鬆進入歐洲的 20 年代。
I'd like to do better than that, but there's not a North America style assumption in how we view our financials over the next several years.
我想做得更好,但在我們如何看待未來幾年的財務方面,沒有北美風格的假設。

We have a question from Itay Michaeli from Citi.
花旗的 Itay Michaeli 向我們提出了一個問題。

I apologize if I missed this, I during the call a little bit late.
如果我錯過了這個,我深表歉意,我在通話中有點晚了。
But in terms of the revenue in the quarter, I was hoping you could just mention the contribution from new customers versus existing customers?
但就本季度的收入而言,我希望您能僅提及新客戶與現有客戶的貢獻?
I'm just trying to think about kind of the land and expand model and kind of the evidence you're seeing of that kind of playing out in your revenue in terms of customers that have been with you for longer versus new customers and how that kind of seasoning is progressing?
我只是想考慮土地和擴張模式的種類,以及你看到的那種在你的收入中發揮作用的證據,這些證據是與你在一起時間更長的客戶與新客戶相比,以及如何什麼樣的調味品正在進步?
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Rex S. Jackson - CFO
Sure.
當然。
Sure.

It's Rex.

I'll be happy to help you there.
我很樂意在那裡幫助你。
So Q1 revenue was $40.5 million.
所以第一季度的收入是 4050 萬美元。
The -- one of the things that we we're super pleased about this quarter, there were a lot of them, but super pleased about was the customer additions that we had this quarter were remarkable, to say that it was an uptick from last quarter would be an understatement.
- 我們對本季度感到非常高興的事情之一,其中有很多,但非常高興的是我們本季度的客戶增加非常顯著,可以說比上一季度有所上升季度將是輕描淡寫。
Not useful to give you percentages, but it was a super strong customer in terms of new customer acquisition.
給你百分比沒有用,但就新客戶獲取而言,它是一個超級強大的客戶。
And then the thing that has been remarkably consistent over every quarter that I looked at over the last 3 years is about 60% of our business comes from existing customers.
然後,我在過去 3 年中看到的每個季度都非常一致的是,我們大約 60% 的業務來自現有客戶。
It's a rebuy.
是回購。
So the land and expand thing, you nailed it, it is literally the cornerstone of the company.
所以土地和擴張的東西,你釘了它,它實際上是公司的基石。
And it's one of the reasons why I've said we do want to continue with the investments, in particular, for example, in sales and marketing, because getting -- it's a hell of a lot easier to keep a customer than it is to get one.
這就是為什麼我說我們確實希望繼續投資的原因之一,特別是在銷售和營銷方面,因為獲得 - 留住客戶比留住客戶要容易得多得到一個。
So we're putting an enormous amount of energy into customer acquisition because it just pays down the road.
因此,我們將大量精力投入到客戶獲取中,因為它會在未來得到回報。

On to the new customers, are you finding that the onboarding process is happening even faster?
對於新客戶,您是否發現入職流程發生得更快?
I think it was -- typically, my understanding is a couple -- it's a sort of a few month process, but just given what's happening with EV, are you seeing that process even go quickly?
我認為這是 - 通常,我的理解是一對夫婦 - 這是一個幾個月的過程,但考慮到 EV 正在發生的事情,你是否看到這個過程甚至很快?
Or maybe in other words, was the customer adds better than what you had internally expected?
或者換句話說,客戶添加的內容是否比您內部預期的要好?

Let's see.
讓我們來看看。
So first of all, the nice thing about the land and expand thing that we just discussed is a lot of that -- all that is really faster in business.
所以首先,我們剛剛討論的關於土地和擴張的好處是很多——所有這些在業務中確實更快。
Sometimes you see it coming, sometimes you don't, but that's pretty fast turn.
有時你看到它來了,有時你沒有,但那是非常快的轉變。
If it's a brand new customer, I think our sales process lasts anywhere from getting the phone call up to about 6 months, and it just depends on what the process looks like on the other side.
如果是全新的客戶,我認為我們的銷售流程從接到電話到 6 個月左右不等,這僅取決於另一方的流程。
I do think it's trending down and getting quicker, but it really depends on the situation with the customer and the size of what they want to install and the necessary understanding of what the make ready and other things that would be necessary in order to put in these solutions.
我確實認為它正在下降並變得更快,但這實際上取決於客戶的情況和他們想要安裝的東西的大小以及對準備好的東西的必要理解以及安裝所需的其他東西這些解決方案。
So I don't know if that answers your questions, but I would say it's anywhere from a month to outside 6 months, and it's getting shorter.
所以我不知道這是否能回答您的問題,但我會說從一個月到 6 個月以外的任何時間,而且時間越來越短。
Itay Michaeli - Director & Global Head of Autos Sector
Itay Michaeli - Director & Global Head of Autos Sector
Yes.
是的。
That's very helpful.
這很有幫助。
And just lastly, as a point of clarification for the Q2 revenue guidance.
最後,作為第二季度收入指導的澄清點。
Should we assume that the revenue mix in Q2 is pretty similar to what you experienced in Q1 in terms of DC and residential?
我們是否應該假設第二季度的收入組合與您在第一季度在 DC 和住宅方面所經歷的非常相似?
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
Pasquale Romano - President, CEO & Director
That's a tough one, but I would expect it to be a little better on the commercial side than it was in Q1, because we did a really nice sort of year-over-year resurgence in North America commercial, and then we had a great quarter in Europe, generally.
這是一個艱難的過程,但我預計它在商業方面會比第一季度好一點,因為我們在北美商業方面實現了非常好的同比復甦,然後我們取得了很好的成績一般在歐洲的四分之一。
So I think the reopening and people getting back to work and the whole recovery on the commercial side has really nice signs in Q1, and I would expect that to continue in Q2.
因此,我認為重新開放和人們重返工作崗位以及商業方面的整體復甦在第一季度都有非常好的跡象,我預計第二季度將繼續如此。
