"We reported our third consecutive quarter of MEG revenue growth, and our pipeline gives us confidence that we can maintain this momentum through our product and service offerings and global footprint," said Alf Poor, CEO of Ideanomics. "The MEG division in China, Treeletrik in Malaysia, and Medici Motor Works and Solectrac in the U.S. are all progressing towards our objectives for the remainder of 2020, and into 2021 and beyond. Strong growth in our taxi and ridesharing business is continuing and we are beginning to bring other revenues online in Q4, including activity in the bus segment of our business."

Ideanomics Third Quarter 2020 Operating Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $10.6 million, of which $10.1 million were generated by the Company's MEG business unit; this represents the largest revenues earned by MEG since the Company commenced business.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company continued to develop its MEG business and recognized $10.6 million revenue from the sales of vehicles, which included revenue of $1.3 million from the sale of traditional combustion engine vehicles. In the third quarter of 2020 the Company acted in both a Principal and Agent capacity in relation to vehicle sales. For those contracts in which it acted in a Principal capacity revenues were recorded on a Gross basis and for those contracts where it acted in an Agent capacity the revenues were recorded on a Net basis.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.7 million, as compared to gross profit in the amount of $2.9 million during the same period in 2019.

Operating Loss

The Loss from Operations was $12.0 million as compared to $9.4 million in the prior period. The increased Operating Loss is almost entirely due to the lower gross profit in the current quarter.
