Faraday Future Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2025

SUMMARY

The Company began the quarter by reaffirming its plans for the FX Super One, which would be its first-class AI-MPV product, and planned to roll off the line by 2025. The Company plans to hold the first FX vehicle launch event and start to collect refundable paid reservations from the public in Q2 2025. This marks a pivotal moment in FF’s mass-market strategy. FF also officially entered the East Coast market with the delivery of the first FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance in New York, expanding the Company’s regional footprint beyond California. FF plans to maintain FF 91 2.0 deliveries to spire users and co-creators.

To support FX development, FX kicked off U.S. homologation and road testing for the FX Super One and, in the second quarter, FX6 prototype mules, to keep on track toward regulatory and production milestones. In alignment with its long-term focus on implementing AI technology, building the next generation AIEV.

FF also established a new subsidiary, Future AI Hybrid Extended-Range (AIHER), which will look to lead the design and development of the world’s first AI-powered hybrid extended-range electric powertrain. This is a core enabler of our long-term platform strategy.

Internally, FF enhanced its capital and operational leadership, with Jerry Wang appointed as Global President to drive global execution, product delivery, and organizational efficiency. And just recently, the Company invited YT Jia, FF’s founder, to come back to the helm to co-lead the company as Global Co-CEO together with Global Co-CEO Matthias Aydt. Regarding vehicle delivery, FF continued to expand its client base with two FF 91 2.0 deliveries, one in California and one in New York.

In technology and AI, FF has made strong progress across product planning and software enhancement. FF began technology planning for its AI Hybrid Extended-Range system, which could power the next generation of FF products. FF has successfully delivered the first internal development version of its AI-powered vehicle operating system, built on its AI Agent framework, enabling intelligent in-cabin and driving experiences. The FF91 software continues to evolve, with the version 57 update released during the quarter—further enhancing user experience, stability, and performance.

In capital and investor relations, FF received $20 million from a prior financing round and secured an additional $41 million in new funding, subject to closing conditions. These funds are crucial to supporting FX ramp-up, AI R&D, and market expansion. FF also hosted an investor event in New York, where it engaged stakeholders, shared strategic updates, and announced plans to open a New York Metro office to deepen its presence in this key market. FF is aiming for FX models to achieve positive gross margins relatively quickly, with upcoming funding to support production costs.

As part of our global strategy, our Middle East facility in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) is now ready for occupancy. The local team will be taking over shortly, bringing our international production capacity another step closer to activation

RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2025

Revenue: $0.3 million, from FF 91 deliveries and lease revenue.
Net Assets: $139.8 million, increased by $24.8 million, or 21.6%, from the prior year-end.
Net Loss from Operations: $43.8 million, in line with $43.6 million in Q1 2024.
Operating Cash Outflow: $20.3 million, a 38% increase from Q1 2024.
Financing Cash Inflow: $24.6 million, marking the third consecutive quarter where financing inflows exceeded operating outflows, a positive and sustained trend that continues to support our operations.
Total operating expenses: $22.8 million, representing a modest decrease of $0.2 million compared to Q1 2024.

In summary, FF’s performance this quarter demonstrates clear progress on both financial and operational fronts. FF remains focused on strategic investments in its core roadmap, while optimizing capital and driving toward long-term growth. FF has made tangible progress in aligning cost structure with operational priorities, while positioning it for long-term scalability and financial resilience. Here are some additional achievements:

CAPITAL MARKETS

On the capital markets front, FF remains committed to protecting stockholder interests. FF issued a public statement regarding potential illegal short selling activity and online infringement. This was an important step to defend the company and its investors against illegal market manipulation and improper reputational harm. FF has also adopted a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal short selling and the deliberate spread of false or misleading information. Some misleading content has already been removed or addressed.

FF will continue to pursue appropriate legal and regulatory channels to take appropriate actions to address these issues and ensure transparency. Notably, some individuals involved in spreading false narratives on social media have since issued public apologies.

Investor interaction has also intensified. FF has increased the frequency of co-creation events to promote openness and direct stakeholder participation. This includes the FX Developer Co-Creation Program, where participants test drove the FX prototype mule, and the FFAI Investor Community & FX Developer Co-Creation Day, which received powerful endorsements from California political leaders—validating our Global Automotive Bridge Strategy and re-affirmed our investment of over $3 billion in California, focusing on the research, development, and manufacturing of next-generation Artificial Intelligence Electric Vehicles (AIEVs).

In addition to FF’s hosted events, the Company broadened its reach by participating in the Jones Technology and Innovation Conference in Las Vegas and joining a business roundtable at the White House in Washington, D.C., strengthening its dialogue with national leaders and innovation partners.

FX BRAND DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT STRATEGY

FF unveiled the FX Super One camouflage prototype mules in January 2025 in Las Vegas, during the CES time period and launched the testing and validation process. FX Super One is an innovative first-class AI-MPV, expanding a potential product lineup alongside the previously announced potential FX 5 and FX 6 models. Targeting distinct price segments, the FX 5 (target base price of $20,000-$30,000) and FX 6 (target base price of $30,000-$50,000) could feature two dual powertrain options: range-extended AIEV and battery-electric AIEV.

The FX 6 prototype mules are undergoing testing and validation including focusing on the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) on public roads in Los Angeles.

2025 OUTLOOK

2025 will be a pivotal year for FF. With a strong focus on driving technological innovation, and maintaining financial discipline, the Company is positioning itself for long-term growth and success in the EV market. And above all, fighting to enhance stockholder value for both institutional and retail investors. With a primary focus on Q2, structured around the Company’s seven tier-one strategic goals and pillars, from S1 to S7.

S1: User Ecosystem:

1. FF is planning to host the first product launch event for the FX Super One around the end of June, which will also mark the countdown to user deliveries.

The product launch will also fully open FF’s online B2C paid pre-order collection with the goal to achieve around 10,000 paid pre-orders, including binding B2B pre-order agreements with non-refundable deposits and non-binding reservations, and B2C pre-orders with refundable deposits and non-binding reservations, placed before and within 48 hours of the launch event. FX is on track to have the first FX Super One off the line by the end of 2025.

At the same time, FF continues to scale up B2B sales efforts. In Phase I, FF aims to enter seven U.S. states with strong AIEV demand: California, Nevada, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Washington.

The Company welcomes new FF Par candidates to join the Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales System, and also invites B2B partners, such as rental car companies and MCN (Multi-Channel Network) agencies.

2. FF’s co-creation model will deeply empower FX. By engaging users, stockholders, celebrities, and partners across industries and communities, FF is building a collaborative ecosystem.

S2–S3: Product & Technology:

1. FX has released the latest rendering of the rear design of the planned production version of the FX Super One.

2. In Q3, FX plans to unveil a new potential FX model designed to potentially disrupt the market dominance of RAV 4 in the AIEV era, bringing us one step closer to FX’s vision: An AIEV for Everyone.

3. The Company is going all in on AI, accelerating the design and development of a Super AI Hybrid Extended Range System (AIHER), and pushing forward with our AI cabin and aiDriving platform.

S4: Supply Chain, Industrialization & Delivery:

The Company’s Hanford factory is looking to prepare a flexible production line for FX units with an annual capacity of over 30,000 total units, including FF. The facility would support mixed-line manufacturing or assembly for multiple models. With FF’s Light, Swift, and Empowering model, it expects to achieve a fully competitive supply chain and manufacturing system, targeting less than 25% of the typical R&D cost of traditional U.S. OEMs. This would allow FF to launch mass-market hit products with an extreme price-to-performance ratio, and reach its goal of tens of thousands of units sold within two years of mass production, subject to securing necessary agreements and funding.

S6: Middle East & China Business:

The Company is advancing FX production and sales preparation in the Middle East. A regional launch event will be held in parallel with the FX Super One Product Launch in June, underscoring the region’s strategic role as the “third pole” in FX’s global strategy. The Company is planning for more expansion in UAE thereafter.

S5: Finance and Capital Markets:

1. The Company is preparing to launch a new round of executive stock purchases, set to gradually roll out after this quarterly report, subject to relevant laws and regulations. Meanwhile, YT Jia has committed to invest the entirety of the after-tax amount of his $1.2 million Co-CEO appointment bonus into FF stock open market purchases, with at least a one-year lock-up.

2. The Company remains firmly committed to avoiding a reverse stock split and to protecting its Nasdaq listing. Future equity offerings will be carefully considered and focused on maximizing long-term value and managing stockholder dilution.

3. FF continues to refine its capital strategy for raising the funds reasonably needed to support the FF and FX product roadmap.

4. The Company’s counterattacks against improper market manipulation and illegal short selling are already showing results. It has issued notices to several suspected parties, and several misleading videos have since been removed or addressed. FF will not hesitate to take further action if necessary. In addition, the Company is enhancing investor communication by setting up official and executive accounts on major stock forums to better engage with stockholders and promptly correct misinformation.

5. The Company is leveraging its unique advantages to launch a global M&A initiative, targeting high-value, cost-efficient acquisitions of AI technology companies and others in the mobility ecosystem — which could accelerate the realization of its intrinsic capital value.

6. The Company is working with advisors to build a compliant, efficient financial system to reduce the risk of delayed financial reporting and protect stockholder interests. At the same time, it is enforcing strict cost controls and focusing resources on core operations to ensure steady progress toward its strategic goals.

S7: Operations System Build-Up:

The Company plans to work with its advisors to secure support from government agencies at all levels, including incentives such as tax relief and subsidies, to ensure we stay ahead of regulatory changes worldwide.
