• GAAP net loss and comprehensive loss of $(5.0) million and $(115.6) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a GAAP net loss and comprehensive loss of $(70.9) million and $(161.6) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The GAAP net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included a gain of $48.3 million and gain of $38.8 million on the fair value change of the warrant and derivative liability, respectively, a loss on fair value change of convertible debt of $(8.5) million and $(67.1) million, respectively, and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.0 million and gain on extinguishment of debt of $24.5 million respectively.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $(38.6) million and $(86.9) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $(62.3) million and $(129.4) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Adjusted Net Loss of $(42.7) million and $(100.0) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $(69.1) million and $(141.1) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Net cash used in investing activities was $6.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $33.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Net cash provided by financing activities was $88.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $132.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

2024 Business Outlook

Based on our current projections, Canoo reaffirms its prior cash flow guidance. Additionally, due to the pacing of capital and supply chain harmonization, Canoo expects its Adjusted EBITDA to be between $(120) million to $(140) million for the second half of 2024.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section herein for an explanation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking guidance of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, because certain material reconciling items, such as depreciation and amortization and interest expense cannot be estimated due to factors outside of the Company's control and could have a material impact on the reported results. A reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Canoo will host a conference call to discuss the results today, August 14, 2024, at 5:00 PM ET.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

“EBITDA” is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, asset impairments, non-routine legal fees, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, changes to the fair value of contingent earnout shares liability, changes to the fair value of warrant and derivative liability, changes to the fair value of the derivative asset, changes to the fair value of convertible debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, and any other one-time non-recurring transaction amounts impacting the statement of operations during the year. "Adjusted Net Loss" is defined as net loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, asset impairments, non-routine legal fees, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, changes to the fair value of contingent earnout shares liability, changes to the fair value of warrants and derivative liability, changes to the fair value of the derivative asset, changes to the fair value of convertible debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, and any other one-time non-recurring transaction amounts impacting the statement of operations during the year. "Adjusted EPS" is defined as Adjusted Net Loss on a per share basis using the weighted average shares outstanding.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS are intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS when combined with net loss and net loss per share are beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of our operating performance. We believe that the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We manage our business utilizing EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EPS as supplemental performance measures.
