Insights

Q3 results show weak vehicle revenue but material near‑term liquidity steps tied to the proposed Motiv merger.

Workhorse reported sales of $2.4 million for Q3 versus $2.5 million year‑ago and recorded cost of sales of $10.1 million, driven largely by a $3.3 million inventory reserve. The company recognized one‑time gains including a sale‑leaseback gain of $13.8 million and a $4.8 million deferred revenue gain, completed sales of 15 trucks during the quarter, and reported $12.7 million in cash plus $25.5 million restricted cash. The W56 platform reportedly achieved 97% uptime across >42 vehicles, and the Aeromaster body integration completed during the quarter.

Liquidity and capital structure are the key dependencies. Workhorse received approximately $25 million of funding tied to Motiv’s controlling investor (including a $20 million sale‑leaseback and a $5 million convertible note), and the proposed merger with Motiv includes a condition for up to $20 million additional debt financing at closing. At closing the company expects repayment/cancellation of existing senior secured indebtedness and warrants, leaving only a $5 million secured convertible note as possible remaining secured debt. These items materially affect near‑term solvency and capital structure but depend on the merger closing (Annual Meeting vote on Nov 12, 2025) and finalization of financing terms.

Watch the merger close and the stated financing milestones over the next weeks; the conference call on Nov 11, 2025 and the Annual Meeting on Nov 12, 2025 are immediate catalysts. Key monitorables: confirmation the Motiv‑linked financing of up to $20 million is finalized, repayment/cancellation of the senior secured lender obligations, and trending of core vehicle sales beyond the one‑time gains; these items have a near‑term horizon (closing expected in Q4 2025).

CINCINNATI, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS) (“Workhorse” or “the Company”), an American technology company focused on pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

“We continue to make important progress on our product roadmap at Workhorse,” said Company CEO Rick Dauch. “We recently announced the availability of the Utilimaster Aeromaster body for our W56 Class 5/6 step van, designed to enhance the flexibility, durability, efficiency, and safety of the W56 platform. This exciting new offering will enable us to deliver the performance and reliability of our step van in the traditional form factor that fleet operators already know and trust. During the third quarter we completed the sale of 15 trucks, in a combination of both Class 4 and 5 versions.”

Mr. Dauch added: “We are focused on completing our proposed transaction with Motiv to create a leading North American medium-duty electric truck OEM. By building on our complementary strengths, Workhorse and Motiv are positioned to win the medium-duty EV market as the long-term industry trend towards electrification continues. We are confident that this transaction will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the potential upside of the combined company, with a significant ownership stake.”

Executing Strategic and Financial Actions

  • Strategic Transaction with Motiv: On August 15, 2025, Workhorse entered into a definitive merger agreement to combine with Motiv Electric Trucks (“Motiv”) in a proposed transaction that will create a leading North American medium-duty electric truck OEM. Workhorse urges shareholders to vote for the merger, as well as the other proposals, before or at the Company’s Annual Meeting on November 12, 2025.

  • Securing Purchase Orders and Growing Customer Base: Through the quarter, Workhorse completed the sale of 15 trucks. The Company continued discussions to build additional order interest through its expansive dealer network.

  • Demonstrating Real-World Performance and Enhancing Flexibility of the W56: Workhorse continues to demonstrate the reliability and performance of its W56 platform with more than 42 vehicles operating in customer and partner fleets across diverse real-world routes. These vehicles delivered 97% uptime in daily last-mile operations.

    During the third quarter, Workhorse advanced its product roadmap to broaden W56 application options. This work included the completion of integration, testing and validation efforts for the industry-standard aluminum Aeromaster walk-in body from Utilimaster. The new configuration expands the proven capabilities of the W56 product line.
  • Conserving Cash and Improving Liquidity: The Company took additional actions to reduce costs and conserve cash during the third quarter, decreasing operating expenses by $1.2 million year-over-year. Comparing year to date nine-month periods, operating expenses decreased $17.5 million in 2025 compared to 2024.

    In connection with its proposed transaction with Motiv, Workhorse has benefitted from funding totaling approximately $25 million from Motiv’s controlling investor, including a $20 million sale leaseback transaction and $5 million secured convertible note financing. At closing of the merger, which is expected in the fourth quarter of this year, all remaining indebtedness and other obligations to Workhorse’s existing senior secured lender, including all warrants currently held by the lender, will be repaid and/or cancelled, with the only remaining secured indebtedness of the combined companies being the $5 million secured convertible note held by an affiliate of Motiv’s controlling investor, which may convert to equity in connection with post-closing financing. The transaction with Motiv also includes a condition to closing that entities affiliated with Motiv’s largest investor provide Workhorse with up to $20 million in debt financing at the closing.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Sales, net of returns and allowances, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The decrease in sales of $0.1 million was primarily due to lower sales of approximately $2.3 million related to the sale of fewer trucks in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, offset by an increase of $2.2 million related to the recognition of seven vehicles from deferred revenue.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $10.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The increase in cost of sales of $3.5 million was primarily a result of an increase in inventory excess and obsolescence reserve of $3.3 million.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $7.8 and $7.7 million, respectively. The increase in SG&A of $0.1 million was primarily driven by a $3.6 million increase in consulting and legal expenses due to the proposed Motiv merger, offset by a $2.9 million decrease in employee compensation and related expenses, a decrease of $0.2 million in marketing and trade show related expenses, and a decrease of $0.3 million in IT-related expenses.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses of $1.2 million was primarily driven by a $0.3 million decrease in employee compensation and related expenses due to lower headcount, a $0.5 million decrease in prototype part expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in consulting and professional services expenses.

Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The difference was primarily driven by higher financing fees related to the 2024 Notes recognized in the prior year period compared to current period.

As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the notes held by Workhorse’s existing senior secured lender (the “2024 Notes”) totaled $27.1 million and the estimated fair value of the Convertible Note from Motiv’s controlling investor was $5.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, Workhorse’s existing senior secured lender converted $19.0 million in principal into Common Stock, and the Company recorded a $1.4 million fair value net loss on conversion.

As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the warrants held by Workhorse’s existing senior secured lender (the “2024 Warrants”) totaled $10.0 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a net fair value loss of $6.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to the 2024 Warrants.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets of $13.8 million primarily related to the Sale Leaseback of its Union City, IN Facility.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $4.8 million related to deferred revenue upon termination of the Tropos Assembly Services Agreement.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $12.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $25.5 million in restricted cash, net accounts receivable of $1.2 million, other receivables of $1.5 million, net inventory of $30.0 million and accounts payable of $11.2 million.

The proposed transaction with Motiv includes a condition to closing that entities affiliated with Motiv’s largest investor provide Workhorse with up to $20 million in debt financing at closing. Approximately $10 million is to be made available after the closing for general corporate purposes pursuant to a revolving credit facility, and $10 million is to be made available after the closing to fund vehicle manufacturing upon the receipt of confirmed purchase orders pursuant to an ABL facility. The terms of this financing have not been finalized.

Third Quarter Financial Overview
“Our proposed transaction with Motiv will provide Workhorse with a simplified capital structure and the near-term liquidity to support our operations through the proposed transaction close,” said Workhorse CFO Bob Ginnan. “We continue to take additional steps to extend our financial runway and efficiently manage our cash flow by reducing operating costs and improving working capital needs. We are confident in our ability to generate additional purchase orders and revenue from our customers while strengthening our financial position, and we look forward to completing the proposed transaction with Motiv.”
