Positive

• Secured $250 million new financing commitment
• Invoiced 377 vehicles valued at $16.8 million in first 9 months of FY2024
• Received EPA certification for Bollinger's B4 Class 4 EV chassis cab
• Announced new commercial EV orders valued at $7.7 million
• Expanded dealer network and received state incentive approvals

Negative

• Net loss of $289.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024
• Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3.5 million as of June 30, 2024 from $155.3 million on Sept. 30, 2023
• Negative working capital of $59.0 million as of June 30, 2024
• Recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $105.5 million in Q2 2024

Financial Analyst

Mullen Automotive's Q3 2024 results show mixed signals. While the company has narrowed its losses compared to the previous year, with net loss decreasing from $806.8 million to $327.0 million, it's still burning through cash at a concerning rate. The total cash spent in the first nine months of FY2024 was $159.2 million, which is significant given the company's current cash position of only $4.0 million.

The company's working capital has turned negative, at -$59.0 million, which is a red flag for short-term liquidity. However, Mullen has secured substantial new financing commitments totaling $350 million, which could provide a lifeline if fully realized. The company's ability to execute on its commercial EV strategy and convert pre-orders into recognized revenue will be important for its survival and growth.

Investors should closely monitor Mullen's cash burn rate, revenue recognition from vehicle sales and the fulfillment of the new financing commitments in the coming quarters.

Automotive Industry Analyst

Mullen's progress in the EV market shows promise, but faces significant challenges. The company has expanded its commercial EV lineup, securing orders for various models including Class 1, 3 and 4 vehicles. Notable achievements include EPA certification for Bollinger's B4 chassis cab and approvals for EV incentives in key states like Massachusetts and California.

The company's strategy of targeting commercial fleets and expanding its dealer network is sound, but execution remains crucial. The reported $16.8 million in invoiced vehicles (377 units) for the first nine months is a positive start, but revenue recognition is deferred until vehicles are sold to end users. This highlights the importance of converting pre-orders to actual sales.

Mullen's international expansion efforts and development of new products like the PowerUP Mobile EV Charging Truck demonstrate a proactive approach to market opportunities. However, the company must rapidly scale production and sales to compete effectively in the increasingly crowded EV market.

Market Research Analyst

Mullen's market positioning in the commercial EV sector shows potential, but faces intense competition. The company's focus on Class 1-6 vehicles targets a growing segment as businesses look to electrify their fleets. The introduction of lease programs like bizEV, starting at $475 per month, could lower barriers to EV adoption for small businesses.

Partnerships and orders from companies like Spencer Manufacturing, Doering Fleet Management and Eco Auto validate market interest. However, with major automakers also entering this space, Mullen must differentiate itself to capture significant market share.

The company's expansion into international markets, particularly Europe, could open new revenue streams. However, success will depend on Mullen's ability to meet diverse regulatory requirements and compete with established local players. The solid-state battery technology development, if successful, could provide a significant competitive advantage, but the 2025 timeline for certification means near-term growth will rely on current technologies.

Shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity was $53.0 million as of June 30, 2024, versus $272.8 million at September 30, 2023. The decrease in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, reflects the impairment charges of $105.5 million and other operating losses of $225.4 million offset by warrant exercises, notes conversions, stock-based compensation and other equity transactions.

Liquidity

We had total cash (including cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $4.0 million on June 30, 2024, versus $155.7 million on Sept. 30, 2023. The working capital as of June 30, 2024, was negative and amounted to $59.0 million, or $10.4 million if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock. This compares to a positive $58.5 million of working capital or $133.3 million of working capital on Sept. 30, 2023, if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock. 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we paid off $4.9 million in current notes payable that was secured by a mortgage on our Tunica, Mississippi, facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, new senior secured convertible notes with warrants were issued for cash totaling $12.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, a portion of notes and accumulated interest were converted into shares of the Company's common stock. Current notes payable as of June 30, 2024, were $2.7 million compared to $7.5 million of current notes payable as of September 30, 2023 (balances include debt discounts) reflecting the pay-off of the Tunica mortgage.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, investors purchased an additional aggregate principal amount of $39.5 million, for $37.5 million in cash after deducting the 5% original issue discount.
