Faraday Future Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter 2021

– Successfully Completed Public Listing, Securing Gross Proceeds of ~$1.0 billion –

– 2,270 Mile Test Drive Confirmed Market-Leading Performance and Technology –

– Hanford Facility Build Out on Track –

– FF 91 Production Launch Expected Q3 2022 –

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) (“FF,” “Faraday Future” or “the Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Results were delayed as a result of the previously announced Special Committee review.

“The third quarter of 2021 was eventful for Faraday Future as we completed our merger with PSAC and became a public company, ending the quarter well-capitalized with a strong balance sheet,” said Global CEO of Faraday Future Dr. Carsten Breitfeld. “We made strong progress building out the Hanford manufacturing facility and production area construction is advancing on schedule. We continued to make excellent progress with our supply chain partners in a challenging supply-chain environment. We significantly bolstered our management team with key hires who will help us navigate the challenging logistics climate, and strengthened other key areas in manufacturing, development, finance, and elsewhere.”

Dr. Breitfeld continued, “After quarter end, we marked our first four milestones toward SOP at the Hanford manufacturing facility. We remain confident that we will launch the FF 91 in the third quarter of 2022 and believe that Faraday Future is positioned to redefine the state-of-the-art in intelligent electrified mobility.”

COMMENT ON SPECIAL COMMITTEE REVIEW

Dr. Breitfeld added, “The Special Committee of independent Board members completed its previously announced review of past disclosures and allegations and submitted its findings and recommendations to the full Board. The Board accepted the findings and implementation of remediation actions is well underway. On behalf of the entire management team, I want to thank the Special Committee, our financial and legal advisors, and my fellow Board members for their hard work and for their commitment to holding the Company to the highest standards of ethics and conduct. I also want to thank all of my fellow employees, our suppliers, and our investors for their support and confidence. I believe that this review and the changes we are making will help us build a stronger, better company.”

Faraday Future continues to make progress towards the launch of the FF 91 and accomplishing our business plan, and made the following announcements during the three months ended September 30, 2021:

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, FF accomplished the following additional major milestones and made certain personnel and organizational changes:

  • Announced that Myoung Shin Co., Ltd., an automotive manufacturer headquartered in South Korea, has been contracted to manufacture Faraday Future’s second vehicle, the FF 81, with SOP scheduled for 2024.
  • Unveiled the first “production-intent” build of the FF 91. This marks Faraday Future’s manufacturing Milestone #4, pre-production builds for final engineering validation and certification, now referred to as production-intent vehicles.
  • Received dealer and distributor license from the State of California, for online national sales.
  • Signed the lease for FF’s flagship store in Beverly Hills, California, and confirmed the design firm for the store. The initial term of the lease shall be 126 months, with two five-year tenant extension options. In addition, FF announced the active search for a second flagship store in the U.S.
  • Appointed Susan Swenson as Executive Chairperson and Jordan Vogel as Lead Independent Director of the Board of Directors. FF’s Board of Directors consists of nine directors, five of whom are independent under applicable rules.
  • Announced that Mathias Hofmann became the new Head of Global Supply Chain after the retirement of Benedikt Hartmann effective February 25, 2022. Mathias comes to FF after a nearly 30-year career with BMW, where he served as a Vice President with global responsibilities in purchasing and plant management. He has worked on four continents, including China, and was most recently Plant Director in Brazil. He has extensive experience in both plant operations and direct and indirect purchasing.
  • Appointed Becky Roof as Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and engaged an affiliate of AlixPartners to accelerate the implementation of Special Committee recommendations including, but not limited to financial controls and material weakness remediation. Ms. Roof is a seasoned financial executive who has served in an interim CFO capacity at numerous public and private companies.
  • Announced 401 preorders as of March 31, 2022. Preorders are fully refundable, non-binding, paid deposits for the FF 91 Futurist Alliance Edition and/or the FF 91 Futurist vehicles available initially for sale to customers in the US and China. FF 91 Futurist Alliance Edition preorders require a $5,000 deposit for customers in the US and an RMB 50,000 deposit for customers in China. FF 91 Futurist preorders require a $1,500 deposit for customers in the US and an RMB 20,000 deposit for customers in China.

RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2021

Operating expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, were $186 million compared to $18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to an acceleration of costs to bring the Hanford manufacturing facility to full commercial production. Net loss was $304 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of $33 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net loss is attributable to the significant increase in operating expenses, the loss relating to fair value measurement of related party notes payable, notes payable which the Company elected to account for using the fair value option, warrant liabilities, as well as loss on settlement of related party notes payable, notes payable, and vendor payables in trust.

Cash and cash equivalents were $666 million as of September 30, 2021. The cash balance as of March 31, 2022 was $276 million, which includes the repayment of a $97 million note and accrued interest on schedule.

EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL

The Company plans to host a conference call open to investors after it files its Q1 2022 results in mid-May.
