Despite these achievements, the company reported a net loss of $114.9M, with 79% ($91.0M) attributed to non-cash expenses. Cash position decreased to $2.7M from $10.7M in September 2024, with negative working capital of $186.2M. The company implemented cost-cutting measures, including personnel reductions expected to save $13M annually.

Mullen expanded its commercial vehicle presence through sales to various sectors and strengthened its battery production capabilities in Fullerton, California. The company is seeking $55M in matching DOE funds for U.S.-based battery production.

  • Bollinger Motors generated $2.8M revenue from 20 B4 truck deliveries
  • 58.4% reduction in cash burn compared to previous year
  • Secured $10M non-dilutive long-term debt financing for Bollinger
  • Expanded sales network to over 50 locations nationwide
Negative
  • Net loss increased to $114.9M from $61.4M year-over-year
  • Cash position declined to $2.7M from $10.7M in September 2024
  • Negative working capital of $186.2M
  • Required additional financing through convertible notes and warrants
  • Revenue recognition deferred on most commercial vehicles due to return provisions

Insights

Mullen's Q1 FY2025 results present a dichotomous picture of progress and persistent challenges. The headline achievement of $4.4M in invoices and $6M in collections marks their strongest quarter, but requires careful interpretation. The company's revenue recognition policy, which defers booking until payment receipt and vehicle resale by dealers, resulted in only $2.9M in recognized revenue, highlighting the gap between sales activity and GAAP financial performance.

The Bollinger Motors subsidiary emerges as a important bright spot, contributing $2.8M in revenue from 20 B4 truck deliveries. The expansion to over 50 sales and service locations, coupled with eligibility for New York State's voucher program offering up to $100,000 per vehicle, positions this segment for potential growth. The $10M non-dilutive loan secured by Bollinger demonstrates external confidence in this division's prospects.

However, the company's financial health remains precarious. The cash position of $2.7M represents a 75% decline from the previous quarter, while negative working capital of $186.2M signals severe liquidity constraints. The announced $13M annual cost reduction through headcount reductions, while necessary, may impact operational capabilities and growth potential.

The battery technology initiatives, including three production lines in Fullerton and a $55M DOE funding application, represent strategic positioning for vertical integration. However, these capital-intensive projects must be weighed against the company's financial resources and pressing operational needs.

The debt management strategy shows mixed results. While successfully converting $17.2M in convertible notes to equity reduces immediate cash obligations, the continued reliance on dilutive financing mechanisms - evidenced by new convertible note issuances of $8.8M - suggests ongoing capital structure challenges. The 58.4% reduction in cash burn rate is encouraging but must be sustained to achieve operational stability.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended Dec. 31, 2024

Losses and non-cash expenses

The net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends was $114.9 million, or $661.33 net loss per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends of $61.4 million, or $91,940.42 loss per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2023 (giving retroactive effect to reverse stock splits, including 1:60 reverse stock split that was made effective on Feb. 18, 2025).

Major part of the losses during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, related to non-cash expenses: $91.0 million or 79% of the loss for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, versus $23.3 million or 38% of the loss for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2023.

Revenue

During the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, we invoiced for 58 vehicles valued at $4.4 million, received $6.0 million in cash and recorded $2.9 million in revenues. The difference between invoiced amounts and revenues was due to the Company continuing to defer the revenue recognition on most of Mullen commercial vehicles invoiced until invoices are paid and the return provision on the vehicles is nullified by dealer’s sale of the vehicle to the end user.

In September 2024, our Bollinger segment achieved a major milestone, launching production of the first B4 commercial trucks. For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, the Bollinger segment completed the sale of 20 units and recognized revenues of $2.8 million.

Liquidity

We had total cash (including restricted cash) of $2.7 million on Dec. 31, 2024, versus $10.7 million on Sept. 30, 2024. The working capital as of Dec. 31, 2024, was negative $186.2 million, or $41.2 million if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities expected to be settled in common stock. 

To finance the business, we received $8.8 million during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, issuing senior secured convertible notes and warrants. Furthermore, the Company received $1 million proceeds in accordance with the equity line of credit agreement. Also, Bollinger Motors, Inc., our majority-owned subsidiary, received a $10 million long-term loan, providing additional capital to support the production and sale of Bollinger’s Class 4 EV truck, the B4. This loan is secured by part of the assets of Bollinger Motors and repayment of the principal is due by Oct. 30, 2026. 

During the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, the Company did not use any cash to settle its debt. A major part of Senior secured convertible notes (with a principal of $17.2 million) that were outstanding on Sept. 30, 2024, as well as accumulated interest (in amount of $1.2 million), have been converted into shares of common stock. Also, the Company reached an agreement with holders of matured notes and loan advances in amount of $2.7 million, as well as accumulated interest in amount of approximately $1.8 million, that the liabilities would be settled by issuance of shares of common stock of the Company worth of $3 million. The liability was fully settled by December 2024 and the transaction resulted in recognition of gain on extinguishment of $1.5 million.

The total cash spent (Operating and Investing cash flows) during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, and 2023, was $27.8 million and $66.8 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $39.0 million, or 58.4%. As it was announced previously, the Company intends to maintain its momentum of reducing the cash outflow by cutting operating costs and restructuring liabilities.

About Mullen

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with two United States-based vehicle plants located in Tunica, Mississippi, (120,000 square feet) and Mishawaka, Indiana (650,000 square feet). In August 2023, Mullen began commercial vehicle production in Tunica. As of January 2024, both the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, are California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) and EPA certified and available for sale in the U.S. The Company’s commercial dealer network consists of seven dealers, which includes Papé Kenworth, Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group, Eco Auto, and Randy Marion Auto Group, providing sales and service coverage in key West Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, New England, and Mid-Atlantic markets.

On Sept. 7, 2022, Bollinger Motors, of Oak Park, Michigan, became a majority-owned EV truck company of Mullen Automotive. Bollinger Motors has passed numerous milestones including its B4, Class 4 electric truck production launch on Sept. 16, 2024, and the development of a world-class dealer and service network with over 50 locations across the United States.
