Management Commentary

“The Arcimoto team delivered a solid quarter. Sharp execution and improving operational efficiencies generated $1.76 million of revenue, up 17% from 2022. We are continuing to see strength in our industrial and military (government) markets with MUV and Matbock and are confident in pipeline deals coming to fruition. We also announced today our intention to sell our U.S. manufacturing facility contingent on a lease agreement. This allows us to be tactical about the space being used, to keep the areas we need for manufacturing and relinquish the areas unused to free up capital that is currently locked up in the factory’s equity. The capital from the sale coupled with our recent raise of $4.2M, will be used to extend our runway and allow us to continue working towards our goals.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased 17% to $1.76 million as compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. YTD June 30, 2023 revenue increased 45% to $3.1 million as compared to $2.1 million in 2022.

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $13.2 million or ($1.71) per share, in the second quarter of 2023 compared with a net loss of $17.4 million or ($8.80) per share, for the same prior-year period.

The Company had $53.1 million in total assets, $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $32.7 million in total liabilities as of June 30, 2023.

These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and include, without limitation, our expectations as to vehicle deliveries, the establishment of our service and delivery network and our expected rate of production. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in documents which we file with the SEC.
