Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 2, 2026, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Joby Aviation, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. Deloitte was informed of this decision on March 3, 2026. The audit reports of Deloitte on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through March 2, 2026, there were no: (1) ‘disagreements’ (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with Deloitte’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; or (2) ‘reportable events’ (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosure contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of such letter from Deloitte is attached as Exhibit 16.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 2, 2026, the Audit Committee appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, subject to the completion of PwC’s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period through March 2, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
