ATM Program financial
"The Prospectus Supplement allows the Company to sell... under an at-the-market offering program (“ATM Program”)."
An ATM program is a plan or arrangement that allows a company to sell its shares directly to investors over time, often through automated systems like online platforms. It provides a flexible way for companies to raise money gradually without needing a full public offering each time. For investors, it can offer easier access to buying or selling shares and can help companies manage their fundraising more efficiently.
Term Loan financial
"the Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan”) from net proceeds"
A term loan is a type of loan that is borrowed for a set period of time, with a fixed schedule for repaying the money, usually in regular payments. It matters to investors because it represents a company's borrowing costs and financial stability; reliable repayment of these loans can indicate strong financial health, while difficulties may signal potential risks.
warrant liabilities financial
"Change in fair value of warrant liabilities | 383 | 905"
Warrant liabilities are the financial obligations a company records when it grants warrants—special rights allowing someone to buy shares at a set price in the future. If the warrants are expected to be exercised, they are treated as a liability because the company might need to deliver shares or cash later. This matters to investors because it affects the company’s reported financial health and the potential dilution of existing shares.
FOTA software updates technical
"a stand ready obligation to transfer Firmware Over The Air (“FOTA”) software updates"
Business Combination financial
"the Company consummated a previously announced business combination and related financing transactions (collectively the “Business Combination”)"
A business combination happens when two or more companies join together to operate as one, like two friends merging their teams into a single group. This is important because it can change how companies grow, compete, and make money, often making them bigger and more powerful in the market.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
LiveWire Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these consolidated financial statements and notes as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “LiveWire.” The Company designs and sells electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, and electric bikes with related parts, accessories, and apparel. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.
On September 26, 2022, the Company consummated a previously announced business combination and related financing transactions (collectively the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a business combination agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AEA-Bridges Impact Corp (“ABIC”), LiveWire Group Inc., (formerly known as LW EV Holdings, Inc.), LW EV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Harley-Davidson, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“H-D”), and LiveWire EV, LLC (“Legacy LiveWire”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D. The Business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination. The Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities.
In connection with the Business Combination, H-D has the right to receive up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the future (the “Earn-Out Shares”) upon the occurrence of certain triggering events: (i) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $14.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period; and (ii) a one-time issuance of 6,250,000 Earn Out Shares if the VWAP of Common Stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading-day period, in each case, during a period beginning 18 months from September 26, 2022, the closing date of the Business Combination, and expiring five years thereafter.
ATM Program
On August 18, 2025, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2025 Shelf Registration Statement”) with the SEC registering $100.0 million of its common stock, which the SEC declared effective on August 21, 2025. A Prospectus Supplement, inclusive of the 2025 Shelf Registration, was filed and became effective on August 22, 2025 under registration No. 333-289699. The Prospectus Supplement allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million pursuant to the Company’s At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”), dated as of August 22, 2025, with Mizuho Securities, Inc. (“Mizuho”), as sales agent, under an at-the-market offering program (“ATM Program”). The Sales Agreement stipulates that the Company will pay Mizuho a commission of up to 3.0 % of the gross offering proceeds of any shares of common stock sold to or through Mizuho pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company is required to repay up to $10.0 million of the amount borrowed under the Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan”) from net proceeds from sales of common stock issued under the ATM Program as described in Note 11, Related Party Transactions. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from sales of common stock issued under the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, potential future investments. The timing of any sales and the number of shares sold will depend on a variety of factors to be determined and considered by the Company. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement.
There were no shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program and no commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $382 180 thousand in expenses associated with maintaining the ATM Program included in Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $47.8
Basis of Presentation
10
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) on the going concern basis of accounting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP for interim financial reporting. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $67.5 million. As discussed above, the Company initiated an ATM Program on August 22, 2025, which allows the Company to sell, from time to time and at its discretion, common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Through March 31, 2026, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.5 million under the ATM Program. There were no shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additional sales under the ATM Program are subject to market demand, outside of management’s control, and subject to approval by the H-D Board of Directors as we are a controlled company. As described in Note 11, Related Party Transactions, the Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (as defined in the Term Loan) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Company paid $800 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the mandatory prepayment related to the net ATM proceeds received from shares sold in the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Management continues to assess the Company’s liquidity position and has the flexibility to adjust spending as needed through cost reduction initiatives in order to preserve liquidity. At the same time, the Company continues to explore additional means for raising capital to continue to support ongoing operations and future investments. Additionally, the Company continues to focus on the development of products that are profitable while reducing its use of cash. Based on its current plans and projections, the Company expects that its current resources will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the Company’s product development and sales efforts, as well as timing and size of funds raised under the ATM Program or other possible financing vehicles.
2. New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which is intended to reduce complexity related to estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract asset balances accounted for under Topic 606. The main provisions of ASU 2025-05 provide (i) a practical expedient that allows all entities to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses accounted for under Topic 606 and (ii) an accounting policy election available to entities other than public business entities which allows such entities that elect the practical expedient to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis and there was not a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and engineering expense). The main provisions of ASU 2024-03 require a public entity at each interim and annual reporting period to (i) disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Clarifying the Effective Date, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The main provisions of ASU 2025-06 remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and require capitalization of software costs when both (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, consideration is given to whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software (“significant development uncertainty”). Significant development uncertainty considers whether (i) the software being developed has technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features, and the uncertainty related to those technological innovations, functions, or features, if identified, that have not been resolved through coding and testing and (ii) a determination has been made regarding what the software needs to do (for example, functions or features), including whether the software’s significant performance requirements have been identified or are being substantially revised. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual reporting period. Entities may apply the guidance using one of three transition approaches: prospective, modified, or retrospective. The prospective approach applies the new guidance to software costs incurred from the adoption date forward. The modified approach also applies prospectively but requires derecognition of certain in-process project costs through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The retrospective approach involves restating prior periods and adjusting retained earnings at the beginning of the first period presented. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which is intended to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarify when the guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The Board does not intend to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements, which were determined by prior Boards when the disclosure requirements were initially issued. Rather, the objective of the amendments is to provide clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. If elected, the amendments in ASU 2025-11 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
Disaggregated revenue, net by major source was as follows (in thousands):

Revenue from the sale of LiveWire One electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes, as well as parts and accessories and apparel are recorded when control is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment to independent dealers and distributors or at the time of delivery to retail customers. In March 2025, STACYC launched an adult pedal assist electric bike (“electric bike”) that can operate with or without a battery. Currently, the electric bike is only sold with batteries and revenue related to both performance obligations is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, as discussed above. S2 electric motorcycles, being motorcycles produced from LiveWire’s S2 platform using the Arrow Architecture model, contain two performance obligations, which is the sale of the electric motorcycle and a stand ready obligation to transfer Firmware Over The Air (“FOTA”) software updates to the electric motorcycle, when-and-if available, to the customer. Revenue on the sale of the S2 electric motorcycles is recorded at a point-in-time when control is transferred to the customer. As the unspecified FOTA software updates to S2 electric motorcycles are provided when-and-if they become available, revenue related to these updates is recognized ratably over the period the updates will be provided, estimated by management to be five years , commencing when control of the electric motorcycle is transferred to the customer. The standalone selling prices of performance obligations are estimated by considering costs to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar goods or services and other information that may be available. The Company allocates the transaction price among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of the Company’s performance obligations.
The Company offers sales incentive programs to independent dealers, distributors and retail customers designed to promote the sale of its products. The Company estimates its variable consideration related to its sales incentive programs using the expected value method. The Company accounts for consideration payable as part of its sales incentives as a reduction of revenue, which is accrued at the later of the date the related sale is recorded or the date the incentive program is both approved and communicated. Variable consideration related to sales incentives and rights to return is adjusted at the earliest of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes, or the consideration becomes fixed. Adjustments for variable consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material.
The Company offers the right to return eligible parts and accessories and apparel, electric balance bikes, electric bikes and, in limited circumstances, on electric motorcycles. The Company estimates returns based on an analysis of historical trends and probability of returns and records revenue on the initial sale only in the amount that it expects to be entitled. The remaining consideration is deferred in a refund liability account. The refund liability is remeasured for changes in the estimate at each reporting date with a corresponding adjustment to revenue. The Company records a refund asset at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value as a reduction to Cost of goods sold. This amount is monitored and adjusted for impairment, as necessary. The refund assets of $298 326
13
Shipping and handling costs associated with freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs in Cost of goods sold. The Company accrues for the shipping and handling in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
The Company offers standard, limited warranties on its electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes, electric bikes and parts and accessories. These warranties provide assurance that the product will function as expected and are not separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for estimated warranty costs as a liability when control of the product transfers to the customer.
Contract Liabilities
The Company maintains certain contract liability balances related to payments received at contract inception in advance of the Company’s performance under the contract that generally relates to customer deposits for electric balance bikes, electric bikes and electric motorcycles and consideration received upon transfer of control of the S2 motorcycles for FOTA software updates. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue once the Company performs under the contract. The current portion of contract liabilities of $392 thousand and $662 thousand were included in Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of contract liabilities of $377 thousand and $410 thousand were included in Other long-term liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company expects to recognize $377 thousand included in Other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2026 over the next five years .
Previously deferred revenue recognized as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $231 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.
4. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was (0.1
5. Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury method to calculate the dilution impact of share-based awards- restricted stock, performance share units, and warrants. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share as all of the potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive in those periods.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, to the extent dilutive, including unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and Warrants (as defined in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities). Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or if the issuance of shares is contingent upon events that did not occur by the end of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 3,921 thousand and 3,253 thousand employee stock compensation plan awards were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 30,365

Accrued liabilities primarily include accrued payroll and employee benefits of $4,553 thousand, accrued warranty and recalls of $1,449 thousand, and accrued engineering costs of $1,356 thousand as of December 31, 2025.
7. Warrant Liabilities
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company assumed 30,499,990 Warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, comprised of 19,999,990 public warrants, originally issued by ABIC as part of ABIC’s IPO of units (the “Public Warrants”) and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO of ABIC (the “Private Placement Warrants”, collectively with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Warrants expire five years from the completion of the Business Combination. There were 19,865,207 10,500,000
15
Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means only a whole Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a Warrant holder. No fractional Warrants were issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants trade. The Company will receive the proceeds from the exercise of any warrants in cash. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Public Warrants
Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $18.00 : The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
•in whole and not in part;
•at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;
•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
•if, and only if, the reported last sales price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.
Redemption of Warrants when the price per Common Stock share equals or exceeds $10.00 : Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:
•in whole and not in part;
•at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the agreed table, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Common Stock;
•if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30 -trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; and
•if the closing price of the shares of Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are similar to those of the Public Warrants, including as to the exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are (i) held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or its permitted transferees and (ii) the reference value exceeds $18.00 per share. The initial Private Placement Warrant purchasers, or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis if the reference value is between $10.00 and $18.00 . If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than AEA-Bridges Impact Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

8. Fair Value
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy.
•Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.
•Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs.
•Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include the Company’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, were as follows (in thousands):

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Money Market Funds
Money market funds include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three or fewer months and are presented within Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified under Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Warrant Liabilities
The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 and are presented within Warrant liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
17
The Public Warrants are publicly traded under the symbol “LVWR WS” and the fair value of the Public Warrants at a specific date is determined by the closing price of the Public Warrants as of that date. As such, the Public Warrants are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was determined using the closing price of the Public Warrants as the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are economically similar to those of the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.
Share-based awards settled in cash
Share-based awards settled in cash represent grants of share-based awards that will be settled with employees in cash and are presented within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. They are valued using the market price of the Company’s and Harley-Davidson, Inc.’s stock and are remeasured at each balance sheet date and are classified under Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
Other Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments classified as Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, net, and Accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature and the relative liquidity of the instruments.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Term Loan was $74.2 million and $75.0 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Term Loan approximates the fair value at both periods. The fair market values of the Term Loan were determined using observable inputs, including forward-looking term rate based on SOFR, as well as market-based credit spreads. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 11, Related Party Transactions, for further discussion.
9. Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns
The Company provides a limited warranty on new electric motorcycles for a period of two years , except for the battery which is covered for five years . The Company also provides limited warranties on parts and accessories, electric balance bikes and electric bikes. The warranty coverage for the retail customer generally begins when the product is sold to the retail customer. The Company accrues future warranty claims at the time of sale by the Company using an estimated cost based primarily on historical Company claim information. In the case of both warranty and recall costs, as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.
Additionally, the Company may from time-to-time initiate certain voluntary recall campaigns. The Company records estimated recall costs when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when the Company’s management approves and commits to a recall. The warranty and recall liability are included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan
19
On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement with H-D providing for term loans from H-D to the Company in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The Convertible Term Loan had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. The Convertible Term Loan contained a provision that provided for H-D to convert amounts outstanding to equity at the Maturity Date if, on the Maturity Date, H-D determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that the Company does not have the financial wherewithal to repay all amounts outstanding. The Company did not draw any amounts under the Convertible Term Loan.
On November 9, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan”) with H-D, which amended the Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Term Loan provided the Company with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn by the Company between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. The maturity date of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, including interest, is December 15, 2027 (“Term Loan Maturity Date”). The Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (defined as gross ATM proceeds less offering costs) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date. No other scheduled principal payments are required to be made on the Term Loan and the remaining principal balance must be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated by H-D as of the date of funding of the Term Loan and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00 %. Interest is compounded on a semi-annual basis on May 31 and November 30 and is required to be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
On December 15, 2025, the Company borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. The Company paid $800 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the mandatory prepayment related to net ATM proceeds received from shares sold in the three months ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was zero and $800 thousand, respectively, presented as Current portion of term loan - related party, net, and $74.2 million presented as Long-term portion of term loan - related party, net, on the consolidated balance sheet.

Other Transactions
Sales of electric motorcycles and related products to independent dealers in the U.S. and Canada are primarily financed through Harley Davidson Financial Services (“HDFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of H-D; therefore, the Company’s accounts receivable related to these sales are recorded in Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts financed through HDFS, not yet remitted to the Company by HDFS are generally settled within 30 days. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there is zero and $564 thousand, respectively, due from HDFS and other related receivables due from H-D, which is presented within Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $5 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively, in related party sales between the Company and H-D with $3 thousand and $9 thousand, respectively, in Cost of goods sold.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was $1 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively, due from H-D, which is presented as Accounts receivable from related party on the consolidated balance sheet.
On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with H-D to sublease a Product Development Center. The lease was terminated effective February 28, 2025. On August 28, 2023, the Company amended a lease agreement with H-D for office space to extend the term of the lease to a 12-month period, which expired on September 26, 2024 and was then renewed on a month-to-month basis and terminated effective January 31, 2025. On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into a lease agreement with H-D to sublease office space in California, which expires on October 31, 2027. These are classified as operating leases.
20
In conjunction with the relocation of LiveWire Labs from California, announced in 2024, the Company moved its equipment from LiveWire Labs to an H-D location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in September 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company began occupying a portion of the space in the H-D location, including operating certain of its equipment, and using a portion for office space. The Company and H-D finalized negotiations and executed a lease agreement related to this space on January 30, 2025. The Company recorded an ROU asset and ROU liability of $488 thousand and $456 thousand, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025, which were reduced for a $500 thousand lease incentive to be provided from H-D for tenant improvements. The initial term of the agreement is 60 months with a renewal option for another 60 months. As of the current date, the Company does not believe it is reasonably certain of exercising the renewal option and, therefore, the lease term is 60 months. This lease was amended effective September 26, 2025 to move the location of the office space and extend the timing of the lease incentive from 2025 to 2026 resulting in an increase to the current lease liability of $203 thousand and a decrease to long-term lease liability of $184 thousand.
These leases are classified as operating leases. As of March 31, 2026, the right of use assets included within Lease assets, short-term lease liabilities included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets were $462 thousand, $19 thousand, and $322 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the right of use assets included within Lease assets, short-term lease liabilities included within Current portion of lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities included within Long-term portion of lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets were $437 thousand, $206 thousand, and $131 thousand, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred $55 thousand and $99 thousand in rent expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included within Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
12. Reportable Segments and Geographic Information
The Company’s reportable segments and significant segment expenses are determined based on how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for the Company.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. Operating loss is the measure of profit and loss used by the CODM to assess performance and to decide how to allocate resources for each of the Company’s reportable segments.
Operating loss is used to monitor actual results versus planned and prior period results for each segment based on their respective profitability objectives and business models. Operating loss is also used to allocate human and capital resources among the reportable segments. Additionally, operating loss is a key metric used to establish and pay variable compensation to employees at all levels.
The Company operates in two

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand the Company, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s present business environment. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
LiveWire is an industry-leading all-electric vehicle brand with a mission to pioneer the rapidly growing two-wheel electric motorcycle space. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.
The Electric Motorcycles segment sells electric motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets, while the STACYC segment sells electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and related parts, accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets. The STACYC segment launched an adult pedal assist electric bike in the United States in March 2025.
Electric motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of Independent Retail Partners, at retail through a Company-owned dealership and through online sales. Electric balance bikes and electric bikes are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to customers online. As discussed below, on September 26, 2022 as part of the Business Combination, the Company, which included LiveWire branded electric motorcycles and STACYC, became a separate, publicly traded company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s net loss was $18,128 thousand compared to $19,271 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s net losses reflect the early-stage nature of the Company’s business including investments in product development as the Company continues to focus on technological innovation that it expects will support future products and growth. The decrease in net loss of $1,143 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflect the segment results and changes in interest expense, related party, interest income and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities discussed below.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Electric Motorcycles segment operating loss was $16,701 thousand compared to an operating loss of $19,353 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to the Electric Motorcycles segment analysis below for further discussion on the decrease in operating loss of $2,652 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the STACYC segment operating loss was $971 thousand compared to an operating loss of $1,313 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Refer to the STACYC segment analysis below for further discussion on the decrease in operating loss of $342 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
In response to the market challenges facing the electric vehicle segment and the overall broader powersports industry, the Company is continuing to focus on strategic expansion of its product offerings, including the planned production in the spring of 2026 of two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motos, the S4 HonchoTM products, which are designed to expand access and affordability for riders globally. As the Company evaluates its long-term strategy and product offerings, it will continue to focus on cost savings to reduce cash usage while focusing on developing and producing profitable products to align with evolving customer preferences and broader electric vehicle adoption trends that will allow the Company to continue to reduce operating losses and fund its operations through profitability.
On August 22, 2025, LiveWire entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the “Agent”), under which LiveWire may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock through the Agent (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289699), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2025. LiveWire filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 22, 2025 in connection with the ATM Program.
24
Business Combination
On September 26, 2022, the Company consummated a previously announced business combination and related financing transactions (collectively the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a business combination agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AEA-Bridges Impact Corp (“ABIC”), LiveWire EV Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as “LiveWire Group, Inc.”), LW EV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Harley-Davidson, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“H-D”), and LiveWire EV, LLC (“Legacy LiveWire”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of ABIC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination. The Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities, to the consolidated financial statements.
2026 Outlook
For 2026, LiveWire's focus is on the launch of its two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motors, the S4 HonchoTM products, continued network expansion, cost savings and improvements, product innovation and development focused on profitable products, and continued growth of the STACYC segment.
Key Business Metrics
To analyze LiveWire’s business performance, determine financial forecasts and help develop long-term strategic plans, management reviews the following key business metrics, which are important measures that represent the growth of the business:
•Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of electric motorcycles sold by LiveWire to independent dealers for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.
•Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by LiveWire through its Company-owned dealership, through online sales or direct to customers through select international partners for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.
•Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the number of new electric motorcycles sold at retail by Independent Retail Partners. These unit sales do not generate revenues for LiveWire but generate revenues for individual retail partners. The data source for electric motorcycle retail sales figures is new sales warranty and registration information provided by Independent Retail Partners and compiled by LiveWire. LiveWire must rely on information that its Independent Retail Partners supply concerning new retail sales, and LiveWire does not regularly verify the information that its Independent Retail Partners supply. This information is subject to revision.
•Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales – LiveWire defines Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales as the sum of Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales and Independent Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales.
•Company-Owned Dealership – Dealership owned and operated by LiveWire to sell electric motorcycles, related products, and services.
•Independent Retail Partners (Electric Motorcycles) – Independent Retail Partners as used with Electric Motorcycles are dealers owned and operated by independent entities under contract with LiveWire to sell LiveWire electric motorcycles, related products and services.
•Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales (STACYC) – LiveWire defines Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales as the number of electric balance bikes and pedal assist electric bikes sold by LiveWire for which LiveWire recognized revenue during the period.
25
•Independent Retail Partners (STACYC) – Independent Retail Partners as used with STACYC are independent entities under contract with STACYC to sell electric balance bikes, electric bikes and related products and services.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were nine partners and one partner, respectively, that were actively working to complete the licensing required to sell LiveWire motorcycles as of the end of the period. LiveWire intends to grow this network as it expands its distribution capabilities.
LiveWire believes these key business metrics provide useful information to help investors understand and evaluate LiveWire’s business performance. Wholesale Motorcycle Unit Sales and Company Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales are key drivers of revenue and operating results for the Electric Motorcycles segment. Retail Motorcycle Unit Sales made through both the Company-owned dealership and Independent Retail Partners are a key measure of consumer demand and market share for LiveWire’s electric motorcycles. Total Electric Balance Bike and Electric Bike Unit Sales is a key driver of revenue and profit for STACYC.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $822 thousand, or 54.4%, to $2,333 thousand from $1,511 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes in alignment with the increased revenue described above.
Selling, Administrative and Engineering Expense
Selling, administrative and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $220 thousand, or 10.3%, to $2,346 thousand from $2,126 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Selling, administrative and engineering expense remained relatively consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 with the change primarily driven by increased research and development expenses.

Other Matters
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, supplier, employee, environmental and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. Refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, LiveWire’s cash and cash equivalents were $67,495 thousand and $82,777 thousand, respectively.
As an early growth company, LiveWire does not expect to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next twelve months. Prior to the Business Combination, H-D supported LiveWire’s operating, investing and financing activities. Following the Business Combination, LiveWire received net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 7, Warrant Liabilities, to the consolidated financial statements.
In the event of the exercise of any Warrants for cash, LiveWire will receive the proceeds from such exercise. Assuming the exercise in full of all of Warrants for cash, LiveWire would receive an aggregate of approximately $349.2 million, but would not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. To the extent any of the Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” LiveWire will not receive any proceeds upon such exercise. LiveWire expects to use any proceeds it receives from Warrant exercises for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase its liquidity. LiveWire believes the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds LiveWire would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of its Common Stock. As of March 31, 2026, the reported sales price of Common Stock was $1.66 per share. If the trading price of Common Stock is less than the $11.50 exercise price per share of the Warrants, LiveWire expects that warrant holders will not exercise their Warrants. There is no guarantee the Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless and LiveWire may receive no proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. As a result, LiveWire does not expect to rely on the cash exercise of Warrants to fund its operations and LiveWire does not believe that it needs such proceeds to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. LiveWire will continue to evaluate the probability of Warrant exercises and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants in its future liquidity projections. LiveWire instead currently expects to rely on the sources of funding described below, if available on reasonable terms or at all.
On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Convertible Term Loan”) with H-D providing for term loans from H-D to the Company in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The Convertible Term Loan had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. The Convertible Term Loan contained a provision that provided for H-D to convert amounts outstanding to equity at the Maturity Date if, on the Maturity Date, H-D determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that the Company does not have the financial wherewithal to repay all amounts outstanding.
30
On November 9, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan”) with H-D, which amended the Convertible Term Loan. The Term Loan provided the Company with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn by the Company between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. The maturity date of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, including interest, is December 15, 2027 (“Term Loan Maturity Date”). The Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net ATM proceeds (defined as gross ATM proceeds less offering costs) from the funding of the Term Loan through the Term Loan Maturity Date. No other scheduled principal payments are required to be made on the Term Loan and the remaining principal balance must be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated by H-D as of the date of funding of the Term Loan and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. Interest is compounded on a semi-annual basis on May 31 and November 30 and is required to be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
On December 15, 2025, the Company borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan. The Company paid $800 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the mandatory prepayment related to net ATM proceeds received from shares sold in the three months ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was $0 thousand and $800 thousand, respectively, presented as Current portion of term loan - related party, net, and $74.2 million presented as Long-term portion of term loan - related party, net, on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $1,417 thousand in interest expense, which is presented in Interest expense, related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The amount due to H-D for interest as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $1,672 thousand and $255 thousand, respectively, and is presented in Other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The effective interest rate was 7.64% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company remained in compliance with all of the existing covenants as of March 31, 2026.
As discussed above, on August 22, 2025, LiveWire entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the “Agent”), under which LiveWire may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock through the Agent (the “ATM Program”). LiveWire filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 22, 2025 in connection with the ATM Program. There were no shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program and no commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $382 thousand unamortized issuance costs related to the ATM Program recorded included in Other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and will be offset against Additional paid-in-capital on a ratable basis as additional proceeds are received under the ATM Program. Additionally, there were $180 thousand in expenses associated with maintaining the ATM Program included in Selling, administrative and engineering expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $47.8 million in capacity remained available under the ATM Program.
Management continues to assess the Company’s liquidity position and has the flexibility to adjust spending as needed through cost reduction initiatives in order to preserve liquidity. At the same time, the Company continues to explore additional means for raising capital to continue to support ongoing operations and future investments. Additionally, the Company continues to focus on the development of products that are profitable while reducing its use of cash. Based on its current plans and projections, the Company expects that its current resources will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The Company will require additional capital in order to continue to finance its operations and execute its business plan before eventually attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the Company’s product development and sales efforts, as well as timing and size of funds raised under the ATM Program or other financing vehicles.
LiveWire’s material contractual operating cash commitments at March 31, 2026 relate to leases. LiveWire estimates capital expenditures to be between $3 million and $8 million in 2026. As a result of the Business Combination completed on September 26, 2022, LiveWire will be subject to certain payments in the event minimum purchase commitments under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement with H-D are not met beginning in the year 2027. The Company also has a liability of $6,080 thousand as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 thousand for excess inventory components held by H-D that the Company expects to be obligated to reimburse H-D under the terms of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement. Refer to Note 11, Related Party Transactions, for discussion of commitments with H-D.

Cash Flow Activity
The following table presents condensed highlights from the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
| Three months ended | |||||||||||
| March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Net cash used by operating activities | $ | (12,994) | $ | (17,490) | |||||||
| Net cash used by investing activities | (688) | (613) | |||||||||
| Net cash used by financing activities | (1,607) | (250) | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 7 | 138 | |||||||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (15,282) | $ | (18,215) | |||||||
The overall decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due primarily to cash used for operating activities.
Operating Activities
The Company had net cash outflow from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Net cash used by operating activities decreased by $4,496 thousand to $12,994 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $17,490 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net cash outflow from operating activities was primarily driven by favorable changes in Inventories and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by unfavorable changes in Accounts payable to related party.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities increased by $75 thousand to $688 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $613 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities increased by $1,357 thousand to an outflow of $1,607 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to an outflow of $250 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the cash outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is related to the $800 thousand payment of borrowings under the Term Loan, as described in Note 11, Related Party Transactions, and an increase in the amount of repurchases of common stock to satisfy withholding taxes of $557 thousand in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units in 2026.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no changes to the LiveWire’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
LiveWire is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare LiveWire’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
32
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, New Accounting Standards, in the consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $67,495 thousand. The Company manages its liquidity risk by effectively managing its working capital, capital expenditures and cash flows.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations and requiring collateral to secure amounts owed to the Company by its customers, each when deemed necessary.
Inflationary factors, such as cost increases for logistics, manufacturing, raw materials and purchased components, may adversely affect the Company’s operating results. Although the Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on its financial condition given its lower production volumes, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to maintain and increase its gross margin or decrease its operating expenses as a percentage of its revenues if the selling prices of its products do not increase as much or more than its increase in costs.
The Company is also exposed to possible disruption of supply or shortage of materials, including, but not limited to, lithium-ion battery cells and key semiconductor chip components necessary for electric vehicles, and any inability to purchase raw materials and components could negatively impact the Company’s operations.
The Company sells its electric balance bikes, electric bikes and electric motorcycles and related products internationally, and in most markets, those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, the Company’s operating results are affected by fluctuations in the values of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, however, the impact of such fluctuations on the Company’s operations to date are not material given the majority of the Company’s sales are currently in the U.S. The Company plans to expand its business and operations internationally and expects its exposure to currency rate risk to increase as it grows its international presence.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Head Accounting Officer (Principal Financial Officer), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Head Accounting Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Head Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
33
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, results of operation and financial condition. For a discussion of these potential risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and the price of the Common Stock. Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the principal risks that the Company believes are material to the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition from those included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
