Strategic Priorities
Current report
In August 2026, we announced three strategic priorities designed to improve execution and strengthen our business, as well as four “must-win” projects. Our three priorities are: (i) “Cash and Cost”, which is focused on optimizing spending, investment decisions and capital allocation, while protecting the technologies and programs most important to our long-term competitiveness, (ii) “Customer and Quality”, which is focused on strengthening the ownership experience to match the performance of our vehicles, and improving product readiness, delivery experience, service responsiveness and parts availability as we invest in technicians and dedicated staff to reduce wait times, and (iii) “Culture and Team”, which is focused on simplifying our organization, reducing layers and clarifying accountability to accelerate decisions and build a culture of ownership, performance and consistent execution. The four must-win projects include (i) executing our cash flow improvement plan, (ii) advancing our robotaxi program with Uber and Nuro, Inc. (“Nuro”), (iii) transitioning AMP-2 from construction to industrialization, and (iv) launching our Midsize program.
Current report
In October 2026, we borrowed additional funds under the DDTL Credit Facility, and in November 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate undrawn delayed commitments under the facility. See Note 17 “Subsequent Events” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further information.
Current report
Revenue increased by $13.7 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by our ramp-up of the Lucid Gravity, which increased our average selling price, and an increase in pre-owned vehicle sales, partially offset by fewer Lucid vehicle deliveries and a decrease in regulatory credit sales.
Current report
Revenue increased by $207.1 million, or 25%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher Lucid vehicle deliveries, an increase in pre-owned vehicle sales, and our ramp-up of the Lucid Gravity, which increased our average selling price. The increases in revenue were partially offset by a decrease in regulatory credit sales.
Current report
Cost of revenue decreased by $61.6 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to fewer deliveries of Lucid vehicles and lower inventory write-downs. The decreases were partially offset by higher unabsorbed fixed overhead resulting from lower production volumes and an increase in costs due to higher pre-owned vehicle sales.
Current report
Gross margin improved to (73.7)% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to (99.1)% for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by lower inventory write-downs and a favorable product mix, partially offset by lower regulatory credits and higher unabsorbed fixed overhead resulting from lower production volumes.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Current report
From inception through September 30, 2026, we incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. We had an accumulated deficit of $18.5 billion as of September 30, 2026. We funded operations primarily with issuances of common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, and loans.
Current report
Over the longer term, we expect that we will require additional capital to support our operations, planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives. We expect to seek additional financing through one or more sources, which may include equity or debt financings, credit facilities or other funding arrangements. The timing and amount of additional financing will depend on a number of factors, including our operating performance, capital expenditure requirements and market conditions. We continue to pursue initiatives intended to improve cash flow and capital efficiency, including actions related to inventory, capital expenditures and operating expenses. These initiatives include aligning production with anticipated demand and actions intended to reduce operating costs.

Workforce Reduction
Previous report
In June 2026, we announced the June 2026 Plan that was designed to advance our path toward profitability and positive cash flow generation by streamlining our organizational structure, optimizing operating expenses, and aligning production plans with anticipated demand. We expect to substantially complete the June 2026 Plan by the end of the third quarter of 2026, subject to local law and consultation requirements. As a result of the June 2026 Plan, we expect to incur total workforce reduction charges of approximately $34 million, primarily related to severance payments, employee benefits, and employee transition. We expect the Plan to provide us with an annualized cost savings of approximately $158 million.
Previous report
Cash Flow Improvement
Previous report
We identified approximately $1.4 billion in cash flow improvements for 2026. These opportunities span inventory, capital expenditures, and operating expenses, and together are intended to improve liquidity, reduce cash burn, and increase capital efficiency while preserving key growth programs, including our Midsize platform and autonomous commercialization initiatives. As part of such efforts, we have reduced our production volume to better align production plans with anticipated demand to improve working capital. Furthermore, we have in the past reduced the size of our workforce, and recently implemented workforce reduction plans and other actions relating to contractors in the first half of 2026, including the elimination of the second shift of production at our AMP-1 factory.
Previous report
Midsize Platform
Previous report
During the quarter, we continued to make steady progress toward the start of production of our Midsize platform. The next major phases of the program include additional prototype and quality-launch builds, completion of regulatory and homologation activities, expanded manufacturing validation, and preparation for the start and ramp of production. We will provide additional updates as milestones are achieved and we continue to expect to ramp up Midsize production in the second half of 2027.
Previous report
Executive Leadership Changes
Previous report
Effective as of June 1, 2026, Mr. Silvio Napoli has been appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer. Mr. Marc Winterhoff resumed his previous role of our Chief Operating Officer effective as of the same day, and subsequently departed our company following the elimination of the Chief Operating Officer position in June 2026.
Previous report
On July 2, 2026, the Board appointed Alexander De Bock as our incoming Chief Financial Officer. Mr. De Bock will join the Company as its Chief Financial Officer, effective August 5, 2026. Taoufiq Boussaid, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, will take on an advisory role for a period of time to help ensure a smooth transition. On July 2, 2026, we also announced several additional organizational and leadership changes.
Previous report
In July 2026, we borrowed an additional $800.0 million under the DDTL Credit Facility. After giving effect to this borrowing, approximately $1.18 billion remains undrawn under the DDTL Credit Facility.
Previous report
Cost of other revenue includes direct parts, material and labor costs, depreciation of tooling costs, shipping and logistic costs. Cost of other revenue also includes costs associated with providing non-warranty after-sales services and costs for retail merchandise.
Previous report
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026 remained flat as compared to the same period in the prior year, as higher Lucid vehicle deliveries and a favorable product mix were substantially offset by higher inventory write-down.

2026 Notes
Previous report
In December 2021, we issued $2,012.5 million of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes will mature on December 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before the close of business on the business day immediately before September 15, 2026, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2026 Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after September 15, 2026, noteholders may elect at any time to convert their 2026 Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate is 1.8255 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $547.80 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reverse stock split. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with applicable covenants under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.
Previous report
In April 2025, contemporaneously with the 2030 Notes offering, we repurchased $1,052.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $931.4 million of the net proceeds of the 2030 Notes. In November 2025, we repurchased $755.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $748.2 million of the net proceeds of the 2031 Notes. Following the redemption, our outstanding principal balance of the 2026 Notes was $204.3 million.

2030 Notes and Capped Call Transactions
Previous report
2030 Notes
Previous report
In April 2025, we issued $1,100.0 million of the 2030 Notes. Contemporaneously with the 2030 Notes offering, we entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $1,052.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $931.4 million of the net proceeds of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2025. The 2030 Notes will mature on April 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before the close of business on the business day immediately before January 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2030 Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after January 1, 2030, noteholders may elect at any time to convert their 2030 Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate is 33.3333 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $30.00 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reverse stock split. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with applicable covenants under the indenture governing the 2030 Notes.
Previous report
Capped Call Transactions
Previous report
In connection with the 2030 Notes offering, we paid $118.3 million to enter into the Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of our common stock initially underlying the 2030 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions have an expiration date of April 1, 2030.
Previous report
We expect the Capped Call Transactions generally would reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments that we could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions. The initial strike price of the Capped Call Transactions corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Notes, or approximately $30.00 per share of our common stock. The initial cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was $48.00 per share of our common stock and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
Previous report
2031 Notes
Previous report
In November 2025, we issued $975.0 million of the 2031 Notes. Contemporaneously with the 2031 Notes offering, we entered into privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to repurchase $755.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using $748.2 million of the net proceeds of the 2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2026. The 2031 Notes will mature on November 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The holders may require us to repurchase the 2031 Notes on November 1, 2029. Before the close of business on the business day immediately before August 1, 2031, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2031 Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after August 1, 2031, noteholders may elect at any time to convert their 2031 Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate is 48.0475 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2031 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $20.81 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reverse stock split. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with applicable covenants under the indenture governing the 2031 Notes.

ABL Credit Facility
Previous report
In June 2022, we entered into the ABL Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks that may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at the applicable interest rates specified in the credit agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility. In June 2024, we amended the ABL Credit Facility to update the Canadian reference rate. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to the value of eligible assets in the borrowing base and is reduced by outstanding loan borrowings and issuances of letters of credit which bear customary letter of credit fees. Subject to certain terms and conditions, we may request one or more increases in the amount of credit commitments under the ABL Credit Facility in an aggregate amount up to the sum of $500.0 million plus certain other amounts. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% per annum based on the unutilized portion of the ABL Credit Facility.

We sell vehicles directly to consumers through our retail sales network and online channels, including Lucid Financial Services, in North America and the Middle East. We believe that owning and operating our sales network provides the best opportunity to closely manage the customer experience, gather direct feedback, and ensure that every interaction is tailored to customer needs. We are also actively exploring, and have adopted in certain international markets, alternative importer and agency models to enhance flexibility, preserve capital, and optimize our distribution strategy in response to evolving market dynamics. We also own and operate a vehicle service network comprised of service centers in major metropolitan areas and a fleet of mobile service vehicles. In addition to our in-house capabilities, we continue to grow an approved list of specially trained collision repair shops, which in some cases serve as repair hubs for mobile service.

A global economic recession, downturn or other adverse economic conditions, whether due to changes or uncertainties in trade policies, the imposition or proposed imposition of tariffs, export controls, threat of a trade war, persistent inflation, political instability, global or regional conflicts or other geopolitical events, public health crises, interest rate increases or other central bank policy actions, bank closures and liquidity concerns at financial institutions, or other factors, have in the past and may in the future have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our suppliers, sub-suppliers or partners experience financial distress, insolvency or disruptions in operations, they may be unable to fulfill their obligations or meet our production and quality requirements. Adverse economic conditions and uncertainty about the current and future domestic or global economic conditions may also cause our customers to defer purchases or cancel their orders in response to higher interest rates, limited consumer credit availability, lower cash reserves, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and weakened consumer confidence. A reduction in demand for our products may result in a decline in product sales, with a corresponding material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Given our premium brand positioning and pricing, an economic recession or downturn is likely to have a disproportionate adverse effect on us compared to our competitors in the EV and traditional automotive sectors, to the extent that consumer demand for luxury goods declines in favor of more cost-conscious alternatives. In addition, adverse economic conditions and uncertainties surrounding trade policies, tariffs and export controls could also cause supply chain and logistical challenges and operational risks. In particular, the U.S. federal government enacted the law commonly referred to as the OBBBA, which eliminates, limits or phases out certain tax credits that had previously provided significant benefits to lessees and purchasers of EVs and adds new eligibility requirements on manufacturers to continue claiming tax credits on EV components. It also eliminates certain penalties for noncompliance with certain fuel efficiency standards and introduces certain key tax law modifications.

Taken together, adverse economic conditions and uncertainties surrounding trade policies, tariffs and export controls, coupled with supply chain challenges and the potential difficulty of passing costs to consumers or sharing the burden with suppliers, could reduce demand for our products and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the deterioration of conditions in the financial markets may limit our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures for business growth on terms favorable to us, if at all. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report for more information regarding risks associated with a global economic downturn or recession, changes or uncertainties in trade policies, or the imposition or proposed imposition of tariffs, including under the captions“A global economic recession, downturn or other adverse economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.” and “Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of or uncertainties surrounding tariffs or revocation of normal trade relations and the resulting consequences, could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.”

See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report for more information regarding risks associated with a global economic downturn or recession, changes or uncertainties in trade policies, or the imposition or proposed imposition of tariffs, including under the captions“A global economic recession, downturn or other adverse economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.” and “Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of or uncertainties surrounding tariffs or revocation of normal trade relations and the resulting consequences, could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.”

We operate a direct-to-consumer sales and service model in North America, which we believe allows us to offer a personalized experience for our customers based on their purchase and ownership preferences. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses in our sales, service and marketing operations for sales of our current vehicles and any future vehicle programs, including the upcoming Midsize platform, that we may offer over the coming decade, including to open additional studios, expand our sales force, grow marketing and brand awareness, and establish a robust service center operation. As of June 30, 2026, we have opened 62 studios and service centers (excluding temporary and satellite service centers): 39 in the U.S. (14 in California, four in New York, three in Florida, two in each of Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia and Washington, and one in each of Colorado, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania), seven in Germany, five in Canada, four in Saudi Arabia, three in Switzerland, two in Norway, one in the Netherlands, and one in the United Arab Emirates. We also plan to hire additional sales, customer service, and service center personnel. We believe that investing in our direct-to-consumer sales and service model will be critical to delivering and servicing the Lucid EVs we currently manufacture and sell.

Achieving commercialization and growth for each generation of our EVs requires us to make significant capital expenditures to scale our production capacity and improve our supply chain processes in the U.S. and internationally. We expect our capital expenditures to increase as we continue constructing and putting into operation the CBU portion of AMP-2 and expanding AMP-1. The amount and timing of our future manufacturing capacity requirements, and resulting capital expenditures, will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our research and development efforts to meet technological development milestones, our ability to develop and launch new EVs, our ability to achieve sales and meet customer demand at anticipated levels, our ability to utilize planned capacity in our existing facilities and our ability to enter new markets.

Revenue increased by $145.9 million, or 56% and $193.3 million, or 39% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily driven by higher Lucid vehicle deliveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. In addition, our ramp-up of the Lucid Gravity, which has a higher average selling price, resulted in a favorable product mix that further contributed to the increases in revenue. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease of $24.8 million in regulatory credit sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year. We believe the recent proposal to lower the U.S. federal fuel economy standards and eliminate CAFE EV credit trading may create uncertainties regarding our ability to generate future regulatory credit sales. Please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Operations — The unavailability, reduction or elimination of certain government and economic programs could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations”.
Current wording
We believe the recent final rule scheduled to be effective November 30, 2026 to lower the U.S. federal fuel economy standards and eliminate CAFE EV credit trading will reduce our ability to generate future regulatory credit sales.

Cost of revenue increased by $300.3 million, or 56% and $430.9 million, or 43% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to higher deliveries of Lucid vehicles and higher inventory write-downs associated with inventory optimization actions, partially offset by reduction in losses on firm commitment as a result of lower volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were also partially offset by the IEEPA tariff refund of approximately $9.5 million and $62.5 million recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 2026 ruling that certain tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were unlawful. In the near term, we expect our production volume of vehicles to continue to be less than our manufacturing capacity.
Current wording
Cost of revenue increased by $369.3 million, or 22%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to more deliveries of Lucid vehicles, higher inventory write-downs, and an increase in pre-owned vehicle sales. The increases were partially offset by reduction in losses on firm commitments and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariff refund recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 2026 ruling that certain tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were unlawful. In the near term, we expect our production volume of vehicles to continue to be less than our manufacturing capacity.

The increases in the write-downs were primarily due to higher inventory balances driven by higher Lucid Gravity mix for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Current wording
We recorded write-downs of $94.5 million and $632.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $192.1 million and $528.5 million for the same periods in the prior year, respectively, to reduce our inventories to their net realizable values, for any excess or obsolete inventories, and losses from firm purchase commitments. The decrease in write-downs for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily associated with lower material purchases. The increase in the write-downs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to change in product mix.
