LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2024-- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq: FFIE) (“FF”, “Faraday Future”, or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2023 AND FULL YEAR 2023

For fiscal 2023, FF produced its first year of revenue as well as a reduced operating loss, and cash used in operating activities, while improving the composition of its balance sheet, as compared with fiscal 2022. These results were achieved through major cost reductions and cost discipline.

FF reported revenue of $0.8 million for 2023 and cost of goods sold of $43 million, compared with no revenue and cost of goods sold in 2022. This reflects that the Company only began delivering vehicles in the third quarter 2023. Loss from operations was $286 million for 2023, as compared to a loss from operations of $437 million for 2022. The change was due to a significant reduction in operating expenses which registered $244 million in 2023 compared to $437 million in 2022. The improvement in operating expenses for the year was primarily due to lower research and development expenses as the Company completed product development and transitioned to fulfilling sales through manufacturing and production. Net loss improved to $432 million for 2023, as compared to $602 million for 2022.

Total assets on December 31, 2023, were $531 million, compared to $529 million as of December 31, 2022. Total liabilities were $302 million, versus $328 million on December 31, 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities for 2023 was $278 million compared to $383 million in 2022. Capital expenditures were $31 million for 2023 compared to $123 million for 2022.

Cash balance at December 31, 2023, was $4 million, including restricted cash of $2 million. This compares to cash of $17 million at December 31, 2022. As of May 23, 2024, the Company’s cash position was approximately $5 million, which includes restricted cash of $2 million.

To support future growth the Company continues to pursue additional significant strategic investors to support future growth. It also is considering equipment- and IP-backed financing to potentially reduce reliance on dilutive funding. The Company does not plan to issue additional shares unless and until the Company receives shareholder approval to increase total authorized share count.

“2023 was a milestone year for FF. We transitioned to a phase of growth that focuses on production and revenue generation, establishing FF’s position in the ultra-luxury and high-performance EV market,” said Matthias Aydt, Global CEO of Faraday Future. “Looking forward, I am excited by the future as we remain steadfast in our pursuit of growth through efficiency and the new markets we entered in 2023. We remain dedicated to elevating both our product strength and stockholder value.”

KEY COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS DURING 2023

FF launched a leasing program with Luxury Lease Partners, obtained a Bureau of Automotive Repair license, activated a home charging installation program, and rolled out a public charging program. These initiatives are designed to provide a seamless and customer-focused experience for our users.

The Company also announced potential entry into the Middle East market late last year. This included strategic cooperation agreements with Master Investment Group and Siraj Holding LLC. Entry into the Middle East would add a third leg to the Company’s geographic strategy that includes the U.S. and China.

FF also agreed to a collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) to bring generative AI and advanced intelligent electric vehicle capabilities to the UAE’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industry (SAVI) cluster.

Given current market conditions and current levels of funding the Company is withdrawing its production target guidance for 2024.
