Insights

Nikola's Q2 2024 results show significant revenue growth but continued substantial losses. Revenue of $31.3 million is up 318% from Q1, primarily driven by 72 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) delivered, exceeding guidance. However, the company reported a net loss of $133.7 million, with a concerning gross margin of -175%.

While FCEV deliveries are ramping up and new revenue streams from regulatory credits are emerging, Nikola's cash burn remains high. The negative gross margin indicates significant challenges in production costs. The company's ability to scale production efficiently and reduce costs will be important for future profitability. The ongoing BEV recall program also presents financial and operational hurdles.

Investors should closely monitor Nikola's cash position and funding needs given the substantial losses. While progress in FCEV deployments is promising, the path to profitability remains uncertain and likely requires significant additional capital.

Nikola's progress in FCEV deployment is noteworthy. With 147 FCEVs wholesaled in three quarters, they're establishing a foothold in the zero-emission trucking market. The reported average fuel economy of 7.2 mi/kg, outperforming diesel equivalents by 23%, demonstrates the technology's efficiency.

The expansion of HYLA fueling infrastructure is important for FCEV adoption. Opening new stations and increasing capacity at existing ones shows Nikola is addressing a key barrier to hydrogen truck adoption. The record of 28 FCEVs refueled in one day at a single station is encouraging.

However, the hydrogen ecosystem is still in its infancy. Nikola faces challenges in scaling up both vehicle production and fueling infrastructure simultaneously. The company's success hinges on continued technological improvements, cost reductions in hydrogen production and broader industry adoption of FCEVs.

Nikola's market position as the only OEM with commercially available Class 8 FCEVs in North America is a significant advantage. The company's ability to secure repeat orders from national accounts and attract major retailers like Walmart Canada indicates growing market acceptance.

The 99% share of FCEV HVIP vouchers in California demonstrates Nikola's dominance in a key market for zero-emission vehicles. This position could be leveraged for future growth and market expansion.

However, the trucking industry's transition to zero-emission vehicles is still in early stages. Nikola faces competition from both established truck manufacturers and other EV startups. The company's success will depend on its ability to scale production, improve vehicle performance and build out fueling infrastructure faster than competitors.

The creation of alternative revenue streams through regulatory credits is a positive development, potentially providing additional financial support as the company scales its operations.

PHOENIX, Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy supply and infrastructure solutions, via the HYLA brand, today reported financial results and business updates for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"In the last three quarters of serial production, we have demonstrated that Nikola is the offtake. We are the catalyst to disrupt Class 8 trucking to make zero-emission a reality," said Steve Girsky, President and CEO of Nikola. "We are the only OEM with Class 8 FCEVs commercially available in North America today. Our trucks are put to the test every day by end fleet users, hauling freight and delivering to their customers. Q2 is an example of how we're approaching the intersection of mission and reality and how Nikola is out front, charting the course."

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Truck

In Q2, we exceeded the high-end of the guidance range by delivering 72 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to our dealer network. That makes 147 wholesaled FCEVs in the first three quarters of serial production. Last quarter, we talked about the importance of expanding our reach to meet the demands of end fleet users virtually anywhere in North America. Walmart Canada is the first major retailer in Canada to introduce a hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-truck to its fleet. We also received repeat orders from two national accounts. Nikola's Profitability Flywheel is beginning to gain momentum with these national accounts, as each of these end fleets grows its zero-emission presence to achieve decarbonization goals.

We continue to delight fleet users with data-driven quality and performance. To date, our FCEV end fleets have traveled more than 550K miles with an average fuel economy of 7.2 mi/kg, validating our performance benchmark. We collect field data every day and the numbers bear out. On a converted basis, our FCEVs outperformed the average Class 8 truck on fuel economy and avoidance of tailpipe emissions. We estimate the average miles per gallon (mpg) diesel equivalent of our FCEV is 8.0, or 23% better, than the Class 8 fuel economy average of 6.5/diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) per the Department of Energy. Moreover, in-service FCEVs have consumed more than 77 metric tons of hydrogen dispensed at various Nikola fueling solutions. In total, we estimate our FCEV end fleet operations have avoided approximately 867 metric tons of CO₂ tailpipe emissions.*

HYLA Energy

We're delivering HYLA fueling solutions to support volume ramp up. As a strategy, we are launching stations and deploying assets where we anticipate demand. It is our objective to stay ahead of FCEV deployment so that fueling solutions are ready and available for end fleets. To that end, since the Q1 earnings call, we opened a HYLA branded station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and completed commissioning a modular station in Santa Fe Springs in Southern Calif. We also added another modular refueler at our Ontario, Calif. station, doubling capacity. We recently had a record day in Ontario, with 28 FCEVs refueled and more than 850kg of hydrogen dispensed in one day. Likewise, through our work with Shell, our fleet customers have been able to fuel at Shell's heavy-duty station in Ontario, CA, where density has been growing. Our stations run 24/7 to support the around-the-clock operations of our fleet users.

Constructive Green Policies

We continued to maintain our dominant share of HVIP vouchers in Calif. At quarter-end, we had 99% of FCEV and 23% of battery-electric vehicle (BEV) HVIP vouchers. We also created alternative revenue streams from the sale of regulatory credits. We recognized our first sale agreement of NOx and PM credits in the quarter. We expect this revenue stream to grow as volume increases each model year.

Battery-Electric Truck

We continued to make progress returning BEVs to our dealer network and end fleet users. We remain on track to complete the recall program by year-end 2024. Feedback on returned units has been overwhelmingly positive and over-the-air updates continue to reach customers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release references Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other items determined by the Company. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and certain other items determined by the Company. Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding. These non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company 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 the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
