Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except as separately indicated)

Note 1. Overview

Hyliion Holdings Corp. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas, that designs and develops KARNOTM Power Module for stationary and mobile applications and provides research and development (“R&D”) services. References to the “Company,” “Hyliion,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this report refer to Hyliion Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires.

The KARNO Power Module is a complete, fully integrated, enclosed, fuel agnostic power generating solution, including balance of plant such as cooling system, controls, fuel handling, and air handling systems, that generates electricity on command in stationary power generation applications powered by KARNO Cores. The KARNO Core is a linear generator that generates its own heat, and converts thermal energy generated from oxidization of fuels into electrical energy. It uses linear electric motors in a four-shaft system to generate electricity via a flameless oxidation process, achieving near zero emissions without emissions treatment systems.

Note 2. Disposals

On November 7, 2023, the Board of the Company approved a strategic plan to wind down its powertrain business and preserve the related intellectual property (the “Plan”). As part of the Plan, the Company will continue to focus on commercialization of its KARNO Power Module technology. We have not accounted for the impacts of the Plan as a discontinued operation through March 31, 2026 as we have not abandoned or sold the underlying intellectual property.

Costs paid or settled associated with the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 werenil and $0.6 million, respectively. We reclassified assets previously recorded as held for sale totaling $1.0 million to property and equipment, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and recognized charges of $1.6 million using fair value hierarchy Level III inputs including comparable assets, adjusted for condition, included in exit and termination costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for thethree months ended March 31, 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we reclassified $1.2 million in assets from property and equipment, net to assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets were subsequently sold in the three months ended March 31, 2026. We recorded net benefits for recoveries related to asset sales of $0.4 million and $0.3 million included in exit and termination (benefits) costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in gain on disposal of assets in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyliion Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements for the fiscal year then ended, but does not include all necessary disclosures required with respect to annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year or for any future period.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is an early-stage growth company and has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. At March 31, 2026, the Company had total equity of $181.7 million, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $20.3 million and total investments of $119.1 million. Based on this, the Company has sufficient funds to continue to execute its business strategy for the next twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve revenue, inventory, income taxes and valuation of share-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single operating segment from which all revenue and net income (loss) is derived and for which all assets are attributed. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses net income (loss) to manage the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.

The significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in the reported measure of segment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are summarized as follows (in millions):

Other operating expense0.30.3
Total operating expenses13.419.8
Other income, net1.52.5
Net loss$(11.7)$(17.3)

Concentration of Supplier Risk

The Company is dependent on certain suppliers, many of which are single source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of the Company’s products in a timely manner at prices, quality levels and volumes that are acceptable, or the Company’s inability to efficiently manage these components from these suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents only if in checking, savings or money market accounts. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market accounts and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions, which it believes are of high credit quality, and has not incurred any losses related to these balances to date. The Company believes its credit risk, with respect to these financial institutions, to be minimal.

Restricted Cash

The Company has provided its corporate headquarters lessor with a letter of credit for $0.7 million to secure the performance of the Company’s lease obligations, backed by a restricted cash deposit to pay any draws on the letter of credit by the lessor. Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is summarized as follows:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents$20,262$22,938$12,332$9,227
Restricted cash included in other assets665665665665
$20,927$23,603$12,997$9,892

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are stated at a gross invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential account losses on the balance based on the Company’s evaluation of current economic conditions without expectation of future changes, changes in the character and size of the balance, past and expected future loss experience, and other pertinent factors. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accounts receivable included amounts receivable from a single customer of $3.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there wasno allowance for doubtful accounts on customer receivables.

We adopted ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, applying the practical expedient policy election that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable asset expected credit losses estimate on a prospective basis. There was no material impact as the result of the adoption of this ASU.

Investments

The Company’s investments consist of corporate bonds, U.S. treasury and agency securities, state and local municipal bonds and commercial paper, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, with a maturity date of 36-months or less at the time of purchase. The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.

Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, and any expected credit losses. Such amortization, along with interest, is included in interest income. The Company estimates expected credits losses for held-to-maturity investments by considering relevant available information and assessing the risk of loss over the assets’ contractual life. The Company’s portfolio of held-to-maturity investments are of a high credit quality with minimal expected credit losses. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of securities sold.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level I: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date;

Level II: Significant other observable inputs other than level I prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level III: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of investments is based on quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. As a result, investments are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy.

Inventories

As of March 31, 2026, we have not yet commercialized the KARNO Power Module. Unless such components are capitalizable, costs incurred for components acquired prior to our determination of reaching a commercial stage are expensed as R&D costs, resulting in zero cost basis for those components. As a result, moving-average prices for inventory that is capitalized in future periods may be significantly affected by those zero cost items.

When inventory may be utilized in performance of our contracts with the United States Department of the Navy’s Office of Naval Research (“ONR”), we capitalize that inventory including certain allocations of overhead, labor, and other direct costs and classify it as work-in-process inventory. When this inventory is designated to and utilized in an activity, we record either an R&D or a cost of sale charge in the period in which the utilization occurs.

All inventory at March 31, 2026 is classified as work-in-process. Inventory is valued using the specific identification cost method and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We review our inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable we expect to receive upon the ultimate sale of the inventory.

Revenue

The Company follows five steps to recognize revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which are:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

U.S. Government Contracts

In September 2024, the Company was awarded a best effort cost-plus-fixed fee contract up to $16.0 million by the ONR to research the suitability of its KARNO Power Module for Navy ships and stationary power generation applications. Under the agreement, the Company will provide R&D services through February 2027, including delivery of up toseven KARNO Cores and testing of power module systems. The ONR contract represented a significant change in business strategy toward providing R&D activities in the ordinary course of business in addition to developing Power Modules for stationary and mobile applications.

In July 2025, the Company was awarded a Phase II best effort cost-plus-fixed fee contract up to $1.5 million by the ONR to demonstrate the conceptual feasibility of the Phase I effort contract awarded in July 2024 for up to $0.2 million and to show development progress towards successful application. Under the Phase II agreement, the Company will provide R&D services through July 2026 with an option to extend through July 2027, including design reviews, simulations, and reporting.

There is a single research and development services performance obligation in each of these contracts that is measured over time as the services are performed. The Company generally invoices monthly, which corresponds directly with the value to the customers of the performance completed to date based on the cost of labor and materials utilized, and recognizes revenue in the amount that it has a right to invoice. Payment is ordinarily due within 90 days of invoice submission. Cost of R&D services revenue includes labor, allocated fringe and overhead, and inventory.

All revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was recognized over time. The portion of our revenues from significant customers is summarized as follows and is attributable to the U.S.:

Three Months Ended March 31,

Customer A100%46%
Customer B—54
100%100%

Research and Development Expense

R&D costs did not meet the requirements to be recognized as an asset as the associated future benefits were at best uncertain and there was no alternative future use at the time the costs were incurred. R&D costs include, but are not limited to, outsourced engineering services, allocated facilities costs, depreciation on equipment utilized in R&D activities, internal engineering and development expenses, materials, internally-developed software and employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits, travel, and share-based compensation) related to development of the Company’s products and services.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270)-Narrow-Scope Improvements, to improve the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable, including additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The pronouncement is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)-Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), and clarified by ASU 2025-01, to enable investors to better understand the major components of an entity’s income statement. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and we expect a material impact to our disclosures as a result of adoption.
