Thank you, Nick. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining. This is my first earnings call with Lucid, and I've already had the opportunity to share with many of you. I'm extremely pleased to be here and part of the Lucid team. With not even a month with the company, I'm still at a very early stage so i'll keep my remarks brief let me start by reiterating why i'm here lucid brings together state-of-the-art technology a premium product platform and a unique opportunity to build a strong enduring position in a transforming industry and that combination

is compelling that is the reason that brought me here today three weeks into the journey

company, I'm even more convinced that this is the case. In my first days, I've had the opportunity to meet with our teams in Newark, High Quarters, and in some of our key markets. In fact, on the very first day, I traveled to build a factory in Arizona, the heart of Lucid. Last week, I traveled to Saudi Arabia to witness a strong brand recognition in this fast-growing market and to see firsthand the progress of a new factory and the construction as you know this manufacturing center is an essential part of our commitment to drive scale profitability and to position lucid on the world stage while there i've also been meeting with employees shareholders and with local stakeholders and everywhere i go and focus on listening and beginning to understand where we are strongest and where we need to improve. And what stands out immediately is the incredible domain competence and outstanding motivation of the Lucid team and the strength of a project. At the same time, it's clear that realizing Lucid's full potential will require sharper focus and consistent execution, particularly around simplification, prioritization, and speed. My near-term priorities are straightforward. We center all our activities around our customers, ensure the organization operates with clarity and accountability, focus resources on the highest impact areas, and embed a stronger culture of cost and capital discipline across the business. A central objective over time is to build a more self-sufficient company, one that progresses towards funding its own growth. And that means being rigorous in delivering on our commitments and how we allocate capital to few vital priorities. In simple words, this means making clear choices on where to invest and, just as important, where not to, at the risk of stating the obvious and not in the position to comment on results reached prior to my joining. Accordingly, I trust you will understand that today I will not comment on any specifics, including the outlook. My goal over the coming weeks is to deepen my understanding of the business so I can engage more fully with you in the future discussions. With that, I'll turn the call over to the team to watch you through the Q1 results. Thank you.

Thank you, Silvio, and good afternoon, everyone. Let me start with the key takeaways. We expanded our Uber partnership to at least 35,000 vehicles, raised over $1 billion in new capital, and ended the quarter with a clear cost reduction program underway. The foundation is solid, and we are building on it. We have made meaningful progress on each of these fronts. Among the highlights, first, we expanded our partnership with Uber to provide a minimum of 35,000 robotaxis, up from 20,000 previously announced, and increased their investment to 500 million, up from 300 million, improving our visibility into long-term demand and revenue in a new and growing market. Further reflecting the strengthening relationship between our companies, Sachin Kanzal, Chief Product Officer at Uber, has been nominated for election to Lucid's Board of Directors. Second, we significantly strengthened our financial position, raising approximately $1.05 billion, including $550 million investment from the Public Investment Fund through a private placement, reaffirming their continued support and long-term commitment to Lucid. We maintained approximately $2 billion of undrawn commitment under the DDTL after drawing $500 million of cash in April, further enhancing our financial flexibility. Proforma for the capital raise and the DDTL increase, liquidity at quarter end would have been $4.7 billion, providing ample flexibility to continue to support development of our mid-sized platform and the continued build-out of M2. Third, we continue to execute to deliver scale and profitability, delivering $282 million in revenue. Despite the unforeseen geopolitical tensions and logistic obstacles in the region during Q1, our M2 construction never stopped, and we continue to install capital equipment and work toward start-off production. The plan remains to ramp up mid-size vehicle production in 2027, and we launched an aggressive cost-reduction program targeting cost savings across all areas of the organization in all geographies. Let me walk you through the key updates of the execution of our strategy in detail. Following the framework we laid out at our recent investor day, the lucid air and gravity continue to anchor our near-term growth and our focus here remains execution quality delivery and custom experience operationally we produced 5 500 vehicles in q1 up 149 year over year despite a temporary disruption which elevated cost we exited the quarter trending back toward our cost targets. We delivered 3,093 vehicles, which was flat compared to Q1 2025. When gravity deliveries were temporarily impacted by a supplier issue, we acted quickly, resolved it, and resumed deliveries with additional quality controls. As deliveries resumed, we saw improving momentum through the quarter, including the highest March deliveries in Lucid history, up 14% year-over-year. We also experienced a strong rebound in order intake, up 144% in North America in March from February, with gravity driving the majority of demand. In March, we regained our position among the best-selling EVs in our segments. We also continued to make progress on our partnerships for our international distribution, including the official launch of our first retail partnership in Europe, which allows us to scale more quickly in a capital-efficient way. We expect the delivery trajectory to improve through the year. Near-term demand signals are mixed, but we see tailwinds building into the second half. Apart from seasonality, which historically drives greater deliveries in second half, there are numerous other factors which may deliver a lift, including high gas prices which tilt demand towards vehicles with more attractive operating costs, competitive dynamics including exits from the air and gravity segments, lease cycles, lucid software updates, potential tariffs on European imports, and potential improvements in macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. As a result, we continue to expect a back-end weighted delivery profile for 2026, but are confident in the long-term trajectory of demand. Our priority now is consistent and predictable conversion of production into deliveries. Central to our framework to scale and drive profitable growth is the midsize platform. The midsize platform brings Lucid's signature range, efficiency, and driving experience to a much larger TAM and broader set of customers and is key to unlocking scale affordability and improved unit economics. At our recent Investor Day, we provided a clearer view of the future product portfolio with the expected pricing starting below $50,000, reinforcing Lucid's entry into a more accessible segment of the market. I'm pleased to be able to share that our BOM cost position remains favorable, still tracking below our initial cost estimates. During the quarter, construction on M2 and installation of capital equipment continued, and we remain on track for production ramp-up of the midsize in 2027. Turning to our third priority, autonomy. In mid-April, we announced the expansion of our partnerships with Uber, increasing their total investment to $500 million and expanding the planned deployment to at least 35,000 robot taxi vehicles. This represents a meaningful increase in both scale and long-term visibility for the program, which generates a new revenue stream through a partnership approach that enables rapid speed to market in a new and rapidly growing market with minimal CAPEX. I'm excited to share that we have met all milestones so far in our joint project with Nuro to provide autonomous lucid gravities to Uber for commercial launch by the end of the year. And remaining milestones are on track. We delivered 75 engineering vehicles and testing and mileage accumulation is ongoing in several cities throughout the U.S. Starting in mid-April, Uber and Neuro employees are now able to test the end-to-end customer experience, including ordering a robotaxi within the Uber app and choosing from select destinations for drop-off. Our partners at Neuro have also received approval from the California DMV for driverless testing of the lucid gravity in the state, making it one of the only handful of vehicles that have received such approval this is a key step in paving the way for launching commercial autonomous operations later this year looking forward we are targeting the following milestones as we track toward commercial robotaxi operations in late 2026 this quarter lucid will start our production validation builds which are intended to reflect our production intent design and some of the key robotaxi features like exterior beaconing for customers, interior cameras, and consumer interfaces. This build is expected to be completed in Q3 and allows us to begin more comprehensive end-to-end testing with our partners as well as homologation testing and validation. And following the completion of testing in Q3, we anticipate starting regular production of Robotaxi vehicles for commercial sale in early Q4 at M1. As you can see, we are well on our way to achieving our goals with our Robotaxi program and commercial launch is on track for late 2026. In parallel, we continue to expand advanced driver assistance features across our consumer vehicles. Over time, we expect these features to become an increasingly important source of recurring revenue, with subscription-based offerings being launched starting in 2027. In closing, Q1 highlighted areas where we still need to improve execution, and we are taking clear actions to address them. I'd like to close with a few personal words. It has been a privilege to serve as interim CEO. We deliver two years of consecutive record quarters when it comes to deliveries until the end of 2025 we ramped the gravity throughout 2025 resulting in a production increase of about 100 last year we've navigated real headwinds and the team's ability to keep moving through them is something i'm proud of we sharpened and expanded our strategy with a clear and capital efficient approach to provide leading autonomy solutions both for robotaxis and personally-owned vehicles. We made meaningful progress across our partnerships, including expanded commitments from both PIF and Uber. I'm confident in this team, in Sylvia's leadership, and in where Lucid is headed. And I'm looking forward to continue to contribute as Chief Operating Officer. With that, let me hand over to Tufik.

Thank you, Marc. I will walk you through the financial results for the quarter, the structural drivers behind them, and how recent actions position us to execute against the framework we laid out at Investor Day. Q1 was disrupted by a temporary stop sale, but the underlying business held, and in March, orders and deliveries rebounded. With roughly similar units delivered and lower regulatory credit sales, revenue grew by approximately 20% year-over-year to $282 million in Q1, driven primarily by mix and pricing effects from gravity. Let me give you the context that makes this number more useful for thinking about Q2 and the rest of the year. We produced 5,500 vehicles in the quarter but delivered 3,093. This gap reflects a combination of the impact of the temporary gravity stop-sell during which finished vehicles sat in inventory pending validation rather than converting to revenue and segment contraction. A key highlight of the quarter was Uber's expanded vehicle commitment and increased investment in Lucid. It matters for three reasons. It improves long-term revenue visibility, it derisks the volume ramp into the midsize era, and it validates our vehicle platform as the reference point for commercial autonomy deployment. This is a durable addition to the capital structure and to the revenue outlook, not a one-time transaction. Gross margin for the quarter was negative 110.4% versus negative 80.7% in Q4 and negative 97.2% in Q1 a year ago. I want to be precise about the work because the composition matters more than the headline. Three factors drove the sequential decline. Lower delivery volume against a largely fixed manufacturing cost base, under absorption of fixed cost, and largely regulatory credit revenue in Q4 that didn't repeat in Q1. Partially offsetting these were IEPA tariff refunds and a lower inventory write-down versus the prior quarter. These costs were tied directly to the stop sell. With that resolve, they don't carry forward. What remains, and what we are focused on, is the structural trajectory, which includes, as shared at investor day, an average of 50 to 60% reduction in unit cost over the coming years. While we saw unit cost spike during the quarter driven by temporary disruption, it trended back towards the targeted trajectory in March. As volumes scale into the second half and with the launch of the mid-size vehicle platform, we expect continued structural improvement in unit economics. I want to be clear, the underlying mid-term trajectory of unit cost improvement that we described at investor day remains intact and Q1 does not alter it. Turning to operating expenses, this totaled approximately $678 million for the quarter. R&D was $336 million, down sequentially from $361 million, reflecting program-level sequencing, even as we continue to found the mid-size platform and our autonomy stack. SG&A increased $22 million sequentially to $204 million, primarily driven by discrete items, including a prior quarter provision reversal. Excluding these items, underlying SG&A was broadly stable. Year over year, SG&A increased $92 million, with the comparison impacted by a $35 million non-cash benefit in the prior year related to the reversal of stock-based compensation. These numbers also don't yet capture the $500 million in savings expected from our recently announced headcount actions over the next three years, with the near-term impact most significant. Taken together, our posture on operating expenses is straightforward. Protect the investments that build long-term competitive advantage, midsize, autonomy, software, and drive discipline everywhere else. Net loss for the quarter was approximately $1 billion compared to $366 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase reflects the gross margin dynamics we discussed, continued investment in the business, particularly the mid-size platform, and higher SG&A with the year-over-year comparison impacted by a discrete benefit in the prior year. importantly a significant portion of the year over year change is driven by non-cash and non-operating items including a 274 million dollars unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative liabilities related to movements in our stock price as well as lower interest income and higher interest expense and as mentioned it does not reflect the benefits of our recent headcount actions no more recently launched cost takeout initiatives net loss in any quarter reflects non-cash and non-operating items that move significantly with our stock price the operating loss and cash consumption metrics give a cleaner read on trajectory our focus remains on improving operating leverage as we scale volumes and continue to drive cost discipline across the business. Turning to liquidity and capital structure, we ended the quarter with approximately $700 million in cash and cash equivalent and total liquidity of approximately $3.2 billion. Subsequent to quarter end, we executed a series of transactions that strengthened our balance sheet. $200 million of equity investment of common stock from Uber, $300 million from a registered common stock offering and $550 million in convertible preferred stock from PIF. In addition, PIF and Lucid announced an amendment to our delayed row term loan, providing greater flexibility and approximately $2 billion of available liquidity following a $500 million draw on April 1st. Giving effect to the capital raise and DDTL increase, total liquidity would have been approximately $4.7 billion at quarter end. This extends our operating runway into the second half of 2027 and gives us the flexibility to found gravity ramp, M2 construction and launch preparation and continued investment in the mid-size program and autonomy stack. On the question of dilution, which I know is on investor minds, the recent financing was structure deliberately to balance liquidity needs against dilution considerations. The convertible preferred structure with PIF reflects that balance as does the sizing of the common equity component. We will continue to evaluate all financing options including the public markets when the appropriate conditions materialize and our bias is toward disciplined capital deployment and with opportunistic raises. The strategic stockholder base around this company, anchored by PIF and now meaningfully reinforced by Uber, gives us a structural advantage in how we think about capital over the medium term. Now, on working capital and inventory, we also expect to see benefits to cash flow driven by improvements to working capital. Inventory stood at approximately 1.47 billion at quarter end up from approximately 1.1 billion dollars at the prior quarter and elevated by the stop sale build-up. As delivery is normalized through the year and we draw down that inventory you should expect a higher conversion into cash. Beyond the stop sale normalization we are tightening production to delivery alignment as an ongoing operating discipline. The new production reporting methodology, which I will cover in a moment, supports that by improving transparency on the conversion step. We took over $200 million in inventory impairments in Q1. Going forward, we expect those to decline, and as inventory reduces through the year, we expect to benefit from impairment releases. Now, I mentioned our new production reporting methodology. I want to take a moment on this change to how we report production. Starting this quarter, we are moving our production metric to a process complete definition, meaning we count a vehicle once it has completed the factory gating process, regardless of whether it ships as a complete unit or in a semi-knocked-down form. This change better reflects true quarterly production and reduces the volatility that the prior methodology introduced due to shipment logistics. It has no impact on inventory or days-on-hand reporting, both of which remain based on finished deliverable vehicles. The effect for investors is greater comparability with peers and a cleaner signal on underlying operational cadence. Under the new methodology, the normal auto industry seasonality, Q2 strongest based on working days, Q1 and Q4 softer due to holidays and planned shutdowns, will appear more visibly in our reported numbers. Now, let me address our outlook and guidance. With Silvio now on board and conducting his review of the business, we are suspending our prior guidance and will provide a full updated outlook at our Q2 earnings score. I want to be clear, this is a governance decision. Near-term demand conditions remain uneven, and we are managing our production cadence accordingly. Our 2026 objective is unchanged. We continue to work to closely align production with demand to avoid excess inventory. We are not constrained on capacity. We are constrained by our own discipline not to build inventory ahead of demand. As market conditions develop, we will scale production accordingly. We have launched a company-wide program to sharpen operational efficiency, reduce costs, and concentrate capital on the highest return opportunities. Q1 cash performance was affected by the stop-sell action and the associated inventory reset, which we expect to normalize as we move forward. We are focused on restoring consistent cash generation and building a more durable operating foundation. Production of our first mid-size vehicle is expected to ramp throughout 2027, and our Lucid Gravity Robotaxi program, in partnership with Uber and Nuro, remains on schedule for launch in late 2026. In closing, to put the quarter in perspective, we strengthened our balance sheet, expanded the strategic partnership that improves long-term visibility, and are implementing reporting changes that improve transparency. A temporary stop sale in February was resolved, and we have taken action to address the root cause. The investor day framework holds. The path to profitability runs through scale from mid-size, cost reduction to M2, and improved mix and operating leverage. Q1 does not change that trajectory. It reinforces the importance of disciplined execution, and that is where our focus is. The fundamentals of this business, the technology, the product, and the strategic position we have built are intact. We are managing this period with discipline, and we intend to emerge from it in a stronger competitive position. With that, let me turn it over to the operator for your questions.

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session by taking questions submitted

to the SAE Technology Platform. Our first question comes from Sarah Vanenar. How does management plan to restore shareholder confidence and address concerns about bankruptcy or potential take-private scenario?

First, I want you to know that we hear your frustration, and restoring your confidence is of our utmost importance to us. We are focused on rebuilding your confidence through disciplined execution, transparency, and measurable progress against key operational financial milestones. the business is moving from a period of heavy investment toward a phase where we can begin to leverage those assets at greater scale we ended 2025 having scaled production improved unit economics and maintained liquidity and yes we've been hit with an unforeseen operational destruction in q1 which we solved and deliveries and orders have rebounded towards the end of the quarter. We are focused on translating operational progress into more predictable financial profile. To your specific concerns, we do not speculate on market rumors or hypothetical strategic alternatives. Our focus is on executing the plan we laid out, strengthening the company, and creating long-term value for shareholders. All right, our next question comes from Robbie S.

When is Lucid going to turn a profit? What is the plan?

At our Investor Day, we laid out a clear path to profitability. The target is gross margin break even in the midterm, building toward the mid-teens by late decade. And on cash flow, we expect to reach positive free cash flow on a similar horizon. The levers to get there are straightforward. It starts with improving fixed cost absorption as volume grow, continuing to bring down bill of material and manufacturing costs, scaling gravity, launching the mid-size platform, and developing higher margin recurring revenue from software, ADAS, and autonomy. On the mid-size platform specifically, this is a meaningful expansion of our addressable market, and importantly, it has been designed from day one with cost, scale, and manufacturability at its core.

All right, the next question comes from Crystal Lab. Based on your current cash burn rate, how many quarters of runway does Lucid have without raising additional capital? And what specific milestones must be met before then to avoid dilution?

Based on our current cash burn and the recent financing activities we have taken, including the capital raise and the extension of the DDTL, we have founding runaway into the second half of 2027. That gives us adequate flexibility to support the gravity ramp, progress M2 construction, and continue targeted investments in both the mid-sized platform and our autonomous software. During this period, our focus is on executing the operational milestones that moves us toward break-even and reduce our reliance on dilutive capital. That means disciplined execution of the gravity launch, continued manufacturing efficiency gains, measured advancement of AMP2, aligned with demand, and sustained momentum on the mid-size program. At the same time, we are actively pursuing top-line diversification to higher-margin software and services, particularly around ADAS. On dilution, we are deliberate in how we approach capital raising. We have consistently favored structures that limit near-term dilution and preserve optionality. The use of preferred convertibles being a good example of managing both timing and impact. But ultimately, the strongest answer to dilution is accelerating our path to break even because this is what opens up a much broader range of financing alternatives.

That concludes the questions from the state technologies platform. Now we'll turn it over to the operator for live questions.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder to ask the question, please press Start 1-1 on your telephone. Then wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press Start 1-1 again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Michael Ward with Citigroup. Your line is open.

Thank you very much. Good afternoon, everyone. Can you share any volume targets for M2 for 2027? It sounds like it's going to be a gradual-type launch throughout the year, and I'm just wondering if the launch is better than expected, does that liquidity take you into 2028?

The targets on the volume we actually revealed at the investor day, and they have not changed. So really, they have not changed. We are really laser-focused on that ramp.

And then the second thing I would ask is, as it relates to the robo-taxis, Are the volume deliveries to Uber, depending on them getting certified, or is there some sort of a schedule for those volume numbers to start to accelerate?

Well, it's basically actually Neuro getting the certification. As we just mentioned, they make very good progress on that, so we are on track. With this, I mean, still we have to have final certification to be able to do this, for instance, when we start in the Bay Area here in California. But so far, even all the development and the certifications are moving as we expected.

Good news. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Andrew Percocco with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Great. Thanks so much for taking the questions. Maybe if I can start out on the free cash flow expectations and just your general commentary around having sufficient liquidity through or at least until the second half of 2027. Can you just maybe help provide a little bit more context around what some of the underlying assumptions are within that? I understand that you guys are pulling the delivery guidance for the year for some governance reasons, but if there's anything you can kind of provide in terms of what your underlying assumptions are around demand, that would be super helpful. Thank you.

Yeah. Hi, Andrew. I think that the first answer to your question is that you need to recall that there is a typical seasonality in the company and that we see a significantly improved cash flows during or on the back end of the year. So we shouldn't do any read-through of the cash performance as of Q1 because of two specific events. The first one is the stop sell, which has led to higher cash burn, and we are saying that we will be recovering that. And the second element that you need to take into account is the typical seasonality with a step up in the cells towards Q3 and Q4, which is helping us to manage the cash burn. So we haven't guided specifically for the cash burn. We have guided for the runaway. The statement remains unchanged, so we will be providing more visibility on that when we reaffirm the guidance in Q2.

Okay, understood. And maybe just my follow-up is just around the commodity cost environment. A lot of your OEM peers are continuing to highlight some pressures there this year and into next year, you know, can you just maybe provide an update in terms of what you're seeing? I think you guys in the past have said that you've at least hedged or contracted out some of that commodity exposure, but to what extent are you seeing any kind of incremental pressure there,

and might that impact that path to profitability? Actually, right now, that is very limited. I mean,

yes, there have been increases over the last couple of months on certain raw materials, like aluminum, but very recently, for instance, we haven't actually seen an increase. And the other topic is the DRAM, which hits the whole industry. But even that, I mean, is compared to the rest of the bomb cost of the vehicle, you know, a small amount. So, we don't see a major impact compared to where we ended end of last year right now. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ben Callow with Bayer. Your line is open.

Hey, thanks for taking my question. Just maybe the first one, could you maybe talk more about the sales partnerships, which I guess will be very important, especially, you know, as you introduced the midsize vehicle. You mentioned one in Europe.

Yeah, I mean, what we're doing there is we're basically extending our approach there from a pure direct-to-consumer model into also partnering either with dealerships in an agency model, for instance, within Germany, so in areas where we already have a D2C network, or with importers in new markets that we are entering right now. And we are in the midst of all this process and recently launched the first agent in addition to our D2C outlets in Germany which gives us from one day to the other two additional cities to cover. And we have numerous LOIs. I think the recent number is like 12 LOIs that are, you know, we're pushing forward and hopefully get to a contract situation and launch very, very soon. But it allows us to much faster grow within the areas and the countries we're already in, for instance, in Germany or in the Netherlands or you can expand into new countries through an importership where you then use existing infrastructure and existing business relationships of those importers to scale much

faster. Great, thank you for that. And then just on the review, Silvio's review, could you maybe talk if possible just about the timing or when we should expect another update or is there not a lost certainty in that for now so thank you yes thank you Ben I I think at the

moment I'm getting to the position I would say as of Q2 we should start getting somehow getting a sense of where we are now in terms of by when I'll be ready to give a plan etc this I think is something I'll discuss with the board

at the earliest opportunity great there have a good evening thanks guys Thank you.

Our next question comes from Alana Pondra Shepard with Canter Fitzgerald. Your line is open.

Hey, everyone. Good afternoon, and thank you so much for taking our questions. Congratulations on the quarter, and just wanted to maybe take a brief moment to thank Mark and congratulate him on all his great efforts over the past two years. First question, I just wanted to clarify on the guidance. So just to be clear, you'll give us an update in Q2 regarding the production guidance as well as the CapEx guidance. But just to be clear as well, the midsize timing, robotaxi timing, and also the medium-term goals, those are all on track and unchanged. Just wanted to clarify.

On the midsize, this is also what we guided before. so that is also subject to the suspension right now but i think what is important to understand is that you know what what really counts is the ramp up in 2027 and that's what uh remains unchanged as i said in the in the beginning you know the volumes that we're looking at is uh you know unchanged um on the on the start of production that's something that you know we will guide after review is uh silvio and the team then by the end of uh of q2 i also want to point out that when we talk about the the start of production uh that is less impactful actually than the ramp yeah i mean we've seen this you probably remember uh you know with the gravity where we had an sop but then we weren't able to uh ramp as we uh intended to and that is something you know, that we definitely absolutely want to avoid. And that's why we want to review everything and make the right decision for the business. Wonderful. Okay. That's super helpful. Thank

you. And maybe just as a quick follow-up, I wanted to touch again on the second production facility, the one in Saudi, just given the geopolitical conflict still going on. Do you foresee any bottlenecks or any issues to the timeline for the construction there? Or is that on track

just any updates there will be helpful thank you well so far um i mean it is going and we have never stopped to do it doing it i mean we had a few uh delays when it comes to arrival of equipment to be installed but our team was able uh to mitigate that and uh so yeah on that as well we will we We will update at the end of Q2, but so far, we haven't seen any impact.

Wonderful. Thank you so much, and congrats again. We'll pass it on.

Thank you. As a reminder, ladies and gentlemen, that's star 1-1 to ask the question. Please stand by for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of James Piccarello with BNP Paribas. Your line is open.

Hey, guys. This is Jake on for James. First, could you give us some idea of the split between the gravity and air deliveries in the first quarter, and approximately how many units were pushed from the first quarter into the second by the stop sale?

I mean, as we said in the past, so the majority of our deliveries are now the gravity. We don't give a direct, you know, projection of that. I mean, on the average selling price, you maybe can reverse engineer the math somehow. When it comes to, you know, how many sales are being pushed into the second quarter, that's actually a number that I don't have handy right now. I mean, the numbers of deliveries and orders are rebounded in March significantly. But that exact number, I don't have handy.

All right. And then thinking a little bit longer term, you guys are targeting breakeven free cash by the end of the decade. Right now, your $4.7 billion in liquidity gets you into the second half of 2027. Is there any way to think about your total liquidity need to get from the second half of 2027 until 2029 or 2030? Thank you.

Well, I mean, James, you asked us the same question during the investor day. I understand that it's a very important point for you. So, again, the key data points that we have. So we have a trajectory of how we will be rebuilding the gross margin and how it will be progressing over the years. So it's a very important data point for you to assess. We have also communicated the details around the different levers for us to reach the break-even and the rough timing to get there. I think that our historical and future delivery of the key milestones will allow you to do a calibration of what it would mean, and it will help you estimate the additional capital requirement which is required. having said that i would like to re-emphasis two very important points so what we have said is that the important component of the cash burn is related to uh the capex in in in m2 so we have also shared uh our trajectory in terms of capex reduction we will have a steep decline uh after 2027. And as a consequence of that, we will see a significant reduction of the cash requirements that will be needed for the plan. So over time, the cash burn profile in itself will have to change and evolve. So again, I'm sharing some of the important data points. We have not historically been in a position to provide the exact quantification. We obviously have a plan. what is really important is the milestones and how we're executing against some of these important targets, milestones, be it in gross margin, be it in terms of reducing the capex and accelerating the trajectory to the breakeven. All right. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm Sean. No further questions in the queue. That concludes today's conference call. Thank Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
