Xos' Q2 2024 results show promising growth, but challenges remain. Revenue grew 18% QoQ and 227% YoY to
Gross margins of
The 2024 outlook of
Xos' performance reflects the growing demand for commercial EVs, but also the challenges of scaling in this competitive market. The 137% YoY increase in deliveries indicates strong product-market fit, particularly in the stepvan segment.
Strategic partnerships with established players like Blue Bird and Winnebago are important for Xos to expand its market reach and validate its technology. However, the company faces stiff competition from both EV startups and traditional OEMs pivoting to electric.
The wide guidance range for 2024 (400-600 unit deliveries) suggests market uncertainty. Factors like charging infrastructure development, government incentives and fleet adoption rates will be critical. Xos needs to leverage its first-mover advantage to establish a defensible market position before larger competitors fully enter the space.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information in this press release has been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Xos’ condensed consolidated financial results. Xos’ non-GAAP financial measures include operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss), which are defined below.
“Operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow)” is defined as net cash used in operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.
“Non-GAAP operating loss” is defined as loss from operations adjusted for stock-based compensation, inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.
“Non-GAAP gross profit (loss)” is defined as gross profit (loss) minus inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.
Xos believes that the use of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) reflects additional means of evaluating Xos’ ongoing operating results and trends. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that Xos’ future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. It is important to note Xos’ computation of operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because not all companies may calculate operating cash flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP gross profit (loss) in the same fashion. 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 Xos’ operating performance. A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in this press release.
