• Reduced quarterly cash consumption by 30% sequentially; further improvements remain a strategic imperative.
• Material progress on each of the company's four Must-Win priorities.
• Transformation advancing with investment in leadership, customer experience, strategic programs, brand revamp and foundations for profitable growth.
• Liquidity increased by $1.75 billion through expanded support from the PIF.

NEWARK, Calif., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, including a 30 percent sequential reduction in cash consumption, and provided an update on its transformation and on the four Must-Win priorities.

"Our transformation is beginning to show progress. We are acting with urgency, strengthening the fundamentals and driving greater discipline, while continuing to invest in the priorities to deliver profitable long-term growth," said Silvio Napoli, Chief Executive Officer. "We are grateful for the continued financial support from our anchor shareholder, which further energizes us to remain focused on execution and on our commitments as we build a stronger, sustainable Lucid."

"The operating reset announced with our Q2 results includes decisive actions to align our manufacturing capacity with demand, reduce inventory and lower operating expenses. These actions are already showing through in Q3, with free cash flow consumption 30% lower sequentially," said Alexander De Bock, Chief Financial Officer. "Our team has embraced this transformation, and we look forward to building on this momentum."

As shared at Q2, Lucid expects to communicate its mid-term plan and targets early next year.

Delivering on Key Priorities

During Q3, the company advanced each of its four Must-Win priorities. These represent Lucid's framework for transforming its business and measuring progress:

• $1.4 Billion Cash Flow Improvement Plan: year to date, Lucid has achieved savings of $0.8 billion and implemented additional actions to drive continued improvement. The company remains on track to achieve its full-year target.
• Autonomy & Robotaxi: Lucid achieved all of the project milestones scheduled by the end of Q3 in the partnership with Uber and Nuro. In August, the program expanded to more than 100 vehicles on the road. Lucid also announced a partnership with Bolt, one of Europe's leading mobility platforms, with an initial goal of deploying at least 25,000 vehicles.
• Advanced Manufacturing Plant 2: construction of Lucid's AMP-2 manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia is progressing to plan and has entered the final stages of industrialization and commissioning. Inauguration is expected in early 2027.
• Midsize: testing, final-stage prototyping and validation continued during Q3, with pilot production entering the final phase. Production remains planned for the second half of 2027. Lucid expects to announce reveal and production dates in the first quarter of 2027.

Third Quarter 2026 Performance

Lucid reported third quarter revenue of $350 million, up 4% year over-year in a US BEV market down 41% over the same period¹, and significantly improved gross profit margin.  Free cash flow consumption declined by 30% sequentially to $1.04 billion as the company progressed its cash flow improvement plan. Lucid ended the quarter with $2.0 billion in total liquidity, or $3.75 billion on a pro forma basis including the $1.75 billion increase to the DDTL facility with PIF announced today. The expanded facility provides additional financial flexibility as Lucid delivers on its turnaround program. The company expects this liquidity level to fund operations and key investments into Q4 2027, bridging the period through Midsize start of production.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with US GAAP ("GAAP") as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Lucid's condensed consolidated financial results. Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted), adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted), and free cash flow, which are discussed below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic) before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) workforce reduction charges, (7) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (8) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (9) change in fair value of derivative liabilities and subscription agreements associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), (10) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (11) gain on extinguishment of debt. Lucid believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about Lucid's financial performance.

Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) excluding (1) stock-based compensation, (2) workforce reduction charges, (3) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (4) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (5) change in fair value of derivative liabilities and subscription agreements associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (6) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party).

Lucid defines and calculates adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted) as adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders (diluted).

Lucid believes that adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted) financial measures provide investors with useful information to evaluate the performance of its business excluding items not reflecting ongoing operating activities.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Lucid believes that free cash flow provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.

These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to Lucid's historical performance. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting, and financial planning purposes. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to Lucid's investors regarding measures of its financial condition and results of operations that Lucid uses to run the business and therefore allows investors to better understand Lucid's performance. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Lucid's results as reported under GAAP.

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 Lucid's operating performance. In addition, other companies, including companies in Lucid's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is presented below.
