Lightning eMotors Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2022

– Produced 74 vehicles and powertrains during the quarter, up from 40 in the prior year quarter

– Quarterly revenue of $3.5 million

– Announced new Lightning MobileTM Battery Vehicle Charger

– Introduced next-generation Lightning InsightsTM real-time telematics and charger management software

– Expanded agreement with Forest River and Collins Bus to include both GM and Ford chassis

– Full year guidance of 350 to 450 vehicles and powertrains sold and revenue of $35 to $45 million

Lightning eMotors, Inc. (“Lightning eMotors”, “Lightning”, or the “Company”), a leading provider of zero-emission powertrains and medium-duty and specialty commercial electric vehicles for fleets, today announced consolidated results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Our operations team executed well and produced 74 vehicles and powertrains in the quarter. Some unit sales were pushed out of the quarter due to customer financing delays,” said Tim Reeser, CEO of Lightning eMotors. “We expect all of those units to be sold in Q3 or Q4. On the product front, we are excited about our new Lightning MobileTM Battery Vehicle Charger and our next-generation Lightning InsightsTM real-time telematics and charger management software solution, announced this morning. In addition, last week we announced a factory-certified repower offering for Blue Bird Class C school buses, which extends the partnership with Blue Bird we announced last May.”

“Mitigation strategies we employed earlier in the year are improving the outlook for the second half of this year, and we now have a commitment from GM and other OEMs for over 400 chassis that are either onsite or are expected to arrive by the end of the year,” Reeser continued. “Our expanded relationship with Forest River and Collins Bus to now include GM chassis, in addition to the Ford chassis we have been using, allows us to use our new stock of GM chassis to accelerate our builds in Q4. Although medium-term chassis supply remains uncertain, longer term, our own Lightning eChassis and the Blue Bird eChassis should put chassis supply more within our control, allowing us to service the strong customer demand for our vehicles. Further, our continued investments in productivity tools, from cobots to torque tools, have improved safety, labor efficiency, and overall productivity.”

“The opportunities at Lightning eMotors have never been greater. The enthusiastic customer response to our vehicles, solutions, and service reveal the positive impact from the investments in technology and productivity we have made up to this point. To continue this momentum we are looking to invest further in our people and processes, as well as in potential strategic investments and acquisitions, to develop Lightning eMotors into a world-class manufacturer of commercial zero-emission vehicles and powertrains and accelerate our push to reach critical mass and scale. As such, while we believe we have sufficient cash to fund our operations for the next year, we are exploring ways to raise more capital to fund critical investments.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Second quarter production was 74 vehicles and powertrains, up from 40 units in Q2 2021. Second quarter revenue was $3.5 million, compared to $5.9 million for the prior-year quarter.

Second quarter net income was $35.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $46.1 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, during the second quarter of last year. This year’s second quarter net income included a one-time $44.1 million gain from the change in our earnout liability, and a $10.1 million gain from the change in our derivative liability.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA loss was $13.9 million, compared to a loss of $8.4 million during the same period in the prior year. Second quarter adjusted net loss was $18.2 million, compared to $12.6 million during the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are non-GAAP measures. See explanatory language and reconciliation to the GAAP measures below.

Guidance

Based on current demand and supply conditions, the Company expects:

  • Third quarter vehicle and powertrain sales to be in the range of 60 to 90 units
  • Third quarter revenue to be in the range of $7 million to $10 million
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of -$18 million to -$20 million
  • Full year 2022 vehicle and powertrain sales to be in the range of 350 to 450 units
  • Full year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $35 million to $45 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information among other operational metrics to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, stock-based compensation, gains or losses related to the change in fair value of warrant, derivative and earnout share liabilities and other non-recurring costs determined by management, such as Business Combination related expenses. Adjusted net loss is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, gains or losses related to the change in fair value of warrant, derivative and earnout share liabilities and certain other non-recurring costs determined by management, such as Business Combination related expenses. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that using EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends while 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 and adjusted net loss 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 and adjusted net loss may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss) to adjusted net loss below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
