Insights

Financial Analyst

Lucid's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. Revenue of $200.6 million and 2,394 vehicle deliveries (up 70.5% YoY) indicate growth, but fall short of expectations for a luxury EV maker. The projected annual production of 9,000 vehicles suggests scaling challenges.

The $4.28 billion in total liquidity and additional $1.5 billion commitment from PIF provide a strong financial buffer, extending runway into Q4 2025. However, this also hints at ongoing cash burn and potential dilution for existing shareholders.

While cost optimization efforts are positive, the lack of specific gross margin figures is concerning. The focus on technological achievements like 5.0 miles per kWh efficiency is promising but needs to translate into market success and profitability.

Automotive Industry Expert

Lucid's Q2 performance reveals both progress and challenges in the competitive EV landscape. The 70.5% YoY increase in deliveries is commendable, but the 2,394 units pale in comparison to industry leaders. The projected 9,000 annual production suggests Lucid is still in its early growth phase, facing potential supply chain or manufacturing constraints.

The emphasis on technological advancements, particularly the 5.0 miles per kWh efficiency, positions Lucid as an innovator. However, translating this into mass-market appeal remains crucial. The upcoming Lucid Gravity launch could be a pivotal moment for diversifying their product line and capturing a larger market share.

While financial backing is strong, Lucid must accelerate its production ramp-up and expand its market presence to compete effectively in the rapidly evolving EV sector.

Market Research Analyst

Lucid's Q2 results reflect a company in transition, striving to establish itself in the premium EV market. The 70.5% YoY delivery growth is encouraging, but the absolute numbers remain modest. With 2,394 deliveries in Q2, Lucid is still a niche player compared to larger EV manufacturers.

The $200.6 million revenue translates to an average selling price of about $83,800 per vehicle, positioning Lucid firmly in the luxury segment. This strategy may limit volume growth but could support higher margins if production efficiencies improve.

The upcoming Lucid Gravity launch represents a critical opportunity to expand market reach. However, success will depend on effective marketing, competitive pricing and flawless execution in a market increasingly crowded with electric SUVs from established luxury brands.

• Produced 2,110 vehicles in Q2; on track for annual production of approximately 9,000 vehicles
• Delivered 2,394 vehicles in Q2; up 70.5% compared to Q2 2023
• Q2 revenue of $200.6 million
• Ended the quarter with approximately $4.28 billion of total liquidity
• Separately, announced a commitment of $1.5 billion today from an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund (PIF)

NEWARK, Calif., Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world's most advanced electric vehicles, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The earnings presentation is available on its investor relations website (https://ir.lucidmotors.com).

Lucid reported Q2 revenue of $200.6 million on deliveries of 2,394 vehicles and expects to manufacture approximately 9,000 vehicles in 2024. Lucid ended the second quarter with approximately $4.28 billion of total liquidity.

"I'm very encouraged by our sales and market share momentum we're experiencing, the benefits we're realizing from our cost optimization programs, and the excitement that's been building into the Lucid Gravity launch, setting a strong foundation for the rest of the year," said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of Lucid. "The tremendous financial value potential our technology enables is now becoming better recognized, and our achievement of a landmark efficiency of 5.0 miles per kilowatt hour, ahead of where we anticipated, is a further proof point of our leadership as a technology company."

"Our Q2 financial performance reflects the positive momentum of increased sales of Lucid Air and the results of our cost reduction efforts, which contribute to the journey toward improving gross margin," said Gagan Dhingra, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer at Lucid. "We ended the second quarter with $4.28 billion in total liquidity and remain committed to maintaining a healthy balance sheet to execute on our strategic vision. The additional $1.5 billion commitment by an affiliate of the PIF announced today is expected to provide sufficient liquidity into at least the fourth quarter of 2025."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with US GAAP ("GAAP") as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our condensed consolidated financial results. Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Free Cash Flow, which are discussed below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) restructuring charges, (7) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (8) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (9) change in fair value of derivative liability associated with Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (10) accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party). Lucid believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about Lucid's financial performance.

Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding (1) stock-based compensation, (2) restructuring charges, (3) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (4) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (5) change in fair value of derivative liability associated with Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (6) accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party).

Lucid defines and calculates Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders as Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders divided by weighted-average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders.

Lucid believes that Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders financial measures provide investors with useful information to evaluate performance of its business excluding items not reflecting ongoing operating activities.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Lucid believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.

These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to Lucid's historical performance. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting, and financial planning purposes. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to Lucid's investors regarding measures of our financial condition and results of operations that Lucid uses to run the business and therefore allows investors to better understand Lucid's performance. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when understanding Lucid's operating performance. In addition, other companies, including companies in Lucid's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is presented below.
