LOS ANGELES / Aug 04, 2023 / Business Wire / Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) (“Fisker”), driven by a mission to create the world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Our second quarter marked an important milestone for Fisker as we started deliveries of our first Fisker Ocean vehicles to customers. We are currently in a quarter that truly marks the inflection for Fisker – our business model has now been proven, by the fact that we are already making a positive profit margin on the first vehicles we are selling,” stated Henrik Fisker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fisker.

“Feedback from our first customers and the numerous members of the media who have now reviewed the Fisker Ocean has been quite positive, and we are not slowing down. We unveiled our future product vision to investors, the press, and our customers and are excited to enter a range of new vehicle segments, including pickup trucks. We look forward to getting more and more vehicles into the hands of our loyal customers so they can experience the unique and class-leading features of the Ocean,” continued Fisker.

Recent Updates:

• Fisker achieved an EPA estimated total range of 360 miles for the Fisker Ocean Extreme on 20-inch wheels, exceeding Fisker’s previous estimates. The EPA values confirm the Fisker Ocean Extreme has the longest range of any new electric SUV under $200,000 sold in the US today.

• 1,022 Fisker Ocean vehicles were produced in Q2 2023.

In July, 1,009 Fisker Oceans were produced up from 741 units in June while the assembly rate per day reached 140 at the end of July, up from 80 per day at the end of June. July had reduced shifts and fewer working days due to the planned Magna Steyr annual summer shutdown.

Vehicle test drive events began recently.
• Bolstered the company’s balance sheet with a successful offering of $340 million in aggregate principal of 0% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2025 to an institutional investor, with the potential to increase the aggregate principal amount of the notes to $680 million.

• Published Fisker Ocean LCA report which highlights unprecedented sustainability through 5 phases of the vehicle’s life, from raw materials to vehicle “end of use.” With the lowest published carbon footprint of any electric SUV, the Fisker Ocean LCA is yet another testament to how sustainability has been built into the company from the beginning.

2023 Business Outlook

Fisker expects to produce 20,000-23,000 units in 2023, provided Fisker’s suppliers and partners can support this volume and ramp. The following information reflects Fisker’s expectations for key non-GAAP operating expenses and capital expenditures for full-year 2023. Fisker is projecting the total of these items to be within a range of $565 million to $640 million. Fisker anticipates an 8-12% gross margin range for full year 2023, provided input costs do not change dramatically.

Conference Call Information

Fisker Inc. will host a conference call to discuss the results at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Time) today, August 4, 2023. The live audio webcast will be accessible on Fisker’s Investor Relations website at https://investors.fiskerinc.com. A recording of the webcast will also be available following the conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

This press release and the accompanying tables references certain non-generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expense, non-GAAP research and development expense and non-GAAP total operating expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from their directly comparable GAAP financial measures due to adjustments made to exclude stock-based compensation expense. None of these non-GAAP financial measures is a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Fisker believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about Fisker in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any non-GAAP measures Fisker uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, both GAAP financial measures of Fisker’s financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.
