Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Report are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, our actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
•There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the next 12 months from the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
•Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment.
•Our mix of offerings, such as the Xos Hub™ and Xosphere™, is novel in the industry and has yet to be tested in the long term.
•We are an early-stage company with a history of losses and may incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future.
•We have yet to achieve positive operating cash flow for a full year and, given our projected funding needs, our ability to generate or maintain positive cash flow is uncertain.
•Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our product development cycle and operating costs, product demand and other factors.
•Our business plans require a significant amount of capital. In addition, our future capital needs may require us to sell additional equity or debt securities that may dilute our stockholders or introduce covenants that may restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends.
•We have incurred substantial debt, including $20.0 million principal amount of an outstanding Second Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) made to the order of Aljomaih Automotive Co. (“Aljomaih”), together with accrued interest thereon, which had a maturity date of August 11, 2025. On August 8, 2025, the repayment schedule for the Convertible Note was modified to make it due in quarterly installments from November 11, 2025 through February 11, 2028. The Convertible Note could impair our flexibility and access to capital and adversely affect our financial position, and our business would be adversely affected if we are unable to service our debt obligations and are subject to default.
•We have experienced and may in the future experience significant delays in the design, manufacturing and wide-spread deployment of our products.
•We previously restated our financial statements for several prior periods, which resulted in unanticipated costs and such restatement, or the perception that our results may again need to be restated, may adversely affect investor confidence, our stock price, our ability to raise capital in the future and our reputation.
•We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements of our financial statements. If we fail to remediate any material weaknesses or if we otherwise fail to
3
establish and maintain effective control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.
•If we fail to successfully tool our manufacturing facilities or if our manufacturing facilities become inoperable, we will be unable to produce our vehicles and our business will be harmed.
•We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions and may not be able to identify adequate strategic relationship opportunities, or form strategic relationships, in the future.
•We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small number of customers; if revenue derived from these customers decreases or the timing of such revenue fluctuates, our business and results of operations could be negatively affected.
•Our delay in providing sufficient charging solutions for our vehicles has resulted in the delay of the delivery of our vehicles to customers.
•We are dependent on our suppliers, some of which are limited source or single-source suppliers, and their inability or unwillingness to deliver necessary components and materials used in our products at prices and volumes, performance and specifications acceptable to us could harm our business.
•Our business and prospects depend significantly on our ability to build the Xos brand. We may not successfully establish, maintain and strengthen the Xos brand, and our brand and reputation could be harmed by negative publicity regarding Xos or our products.
•If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to further design, develop, manufacture and market our products successfully.
•Our battery packs use lithium-ion battery cells, a class of batteries which have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame.
•We have experienced, and may again experience increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion battery cells, semiconductors and other key components.
•We rely on complex machinery for the manufacture of our products, which involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.
•We may be unable to realize the opportunities expected from the acquisition of ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (“ElectraMeccanica”).
•We may face regulatory limitations on our ability to sell vehicles directly to consumers, including changes to tax incentive policies.
•Compliance obligations and/or the actual or perceived failure to comply with existing or future laws, regulations, contracts, self-regulatory schemes, standards, and other obligations related to data privacy and security (including security incidents) could harm our business.
•The performance characteristics of our products may vary, due to factors outside of our control, which could harm our ability to develop, market and deploy our products.
•We may have insufficient reserves to cover future warranty or part replacement needs or other vehicle, powertrain and battery pack repair requirements, including any potential software upgrades.
•We have experienced product recalls and may experience future product recalls.
•We are highly dependent on the services of Dakota Semler and Giordano Sordoni, our co-founders, as well as our key personnel and senior management, and if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and hire qualified management, technical and electric vehicle engineering personnel, our ability to compete could be materially and adversely affected.
•The commercial vehicle market is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in this industry.
•Our growth depends on the last-mile and return-to-base segment’s willingness to adopt electric vehicles.
4
•We have been and may continue to be impacted by macroeconomic conditions, including supply chain disruption, trade policies and tariffs, health crises, inflation, uncertain credit and global financial market, including potential bank failures, labor discord, and geopolitical events, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and political tensions with China.
A discussion of these and other factors affecting our business and prospects is set forth in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). We encourage investors to review these risk factors.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore such statements included in this Report may not prove to be accurate. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date of this Report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

Note 1— Description of Business
Xos, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Xos”) is a leading fleet electrification solutions provider committed to the decarbonization of commercial transportation. Xos designs and manufactures Classes 5 through 8 battery-electric commercial vehicles designed to travel on last-mile, back-to-base routes of up to 200 miles per day. Xos also offers charging infrastructure products and services through Xos Energy Solutions™ to support electric vehicle fleets. The Company’s proprietary fleet management software, Xosphere™, integrates vehicle operation and vehicle charging aimed at providing commercial fleet operators a more seamless and cost-efficient vehicle ownership experience than traditional internal combustion engine counterparts. Xos developed the X-Platform (its proprietary, purpose-built vehicle chassis platform) specifically for the medium-duty commercial vehicle segment with a focus on last-mile commercial fleet operations. Xos seeks to offer customers a suite of commercial products and services to facilitate electric fleet operations and seamlessly transition their traditional combustion-engine fleets to battery-electric vehicles.
Business Combination
Xos, Inc. was initially incorporated on July 29, 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company under the name “NextGen Acquisition Corporation” (“NextGen”). On August 20, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on May 14, 2021, by and among NextGen, Sky Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NextGen (“Merger Sub”), and Xos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as Xos Fleet, Inc., “Legacy Xos”), were consummated (the “Closing”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Xos, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy Xos became the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of NextGen (such transaction the “Merger” and, collectively with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”), and Xos became the publicly traded entity listed on Nasdaq.
ElectraMeccanica Acquisition
On January 11, 2024, the Company and ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (“ElectraMeccanica”) entered into an arrangement agreement, as amended on January 31, 2024 (the “Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ElectraMeccanica (each an “ElectraMeccanica Share”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”).
The Arrangement was consummated on March 26, 2024. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, on March 26, 2024, each ElectraMeccanica Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was converted automatically into the right to receive 0.0143739 of a share of the Company’s Common Stock, for total consideration of 1,766,388 shares of Common Stock. The Company’s liquidity has been supplemented by accessing ElectraMeccanica’s cash balance, which was approximately $50.2 million (excluding severance related costs paid at closing) as of the effective date of the Arrangement.
Risks and Uncertainties
In recent years, the United States and other significant markets have experienced cyclical downturns and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain. Global general economic and political conditions, such as recession, inflation, uncertain credit and global financial markets, including potential future bank failures, health crises, supply chain disruption, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, changes to trade policies and tariffs (or the perception that such changes may occur), and geopolitical events such as local and national elections, corruption, political instability and acts of war or military conflict, or terrorism, make it difficult for our customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause our customers to slow spending on our products and services or impact their ability to make timely payments. A weak or declining economy could also strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption. In addition, there is a risk that our current or future suppliers, service providers, manufacturers or other partners may not survive such difficult economic times, which would directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget. The ultimate impact of current economic conditions on the Company is uncertain, but it may have a material negative impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.
Additionally, ongoing geopolitical events, such as the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in Israel or tensions with China and related sanctions and export control restrictions, may increase the severity of supply chain disruptions and

further hinder our ability to source inventory for our vehicles. These conflicts continue to evolve and the ultimate impact on the Company is uncertain, but any prolonged conflict may have a material negative impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.
Although the Company has used the best current information available to it in its estimates, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions developed by management.
Liquidity
As an early-stage growth company, the Company has incurred net losses and cash outflows since its inception. The Company may continue to incur net losses and cash outflows in accordance with its operating plan as the Company continues to scale its operations to meet anticipated demand and establish its product and service offerings. As a result, the Company’s ability to access capital is critical and until the Company can generate sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, the Company will need to raise additional capital in order to fund and scale its operations. The Company may raise additional capital through a combination of debt financing, other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing, including through asset-based lending and/or receivable financing and collecting on its outstanding receivables. The Company’s ability to raise or access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, the Company could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of its development programs and other operations, which could materially harm its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Global general economic conditions continue to be unpredictable and challenging in many sectors, with disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the effects of potential recessions, rising inflation rates, potential bank failures, supply chain disruption, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, changes to trade policies and tariffs, and geopolitical events such as local and national elections, corruption, political instability and acts of war or military conflicts including repercussions of the wars between Russia and Ukraine and in Israel and tensions with China, or terrorism.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash equivalents aggregating to $14.1 million. The Company’s short- and long-term uses of cash are for working capital and to pay interest and principal on its debt. The Company has incurred losses in nearly every period since inception and had net cash provided by operating activities of $3.0 million and net cash used in operating activities of $52.1 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and net cash used in operating activities of $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As an early-stage growth company, the Company's ability to access capital is critical. However, there can be no assurance such capital will be available to the Company when needed, on favorable terms or at all. The consolidated financial information does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to employ various strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations, which may include capital raising strategies such as debt financing, other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing, including through asset-based lending and/or receivable financing and collecting on its outstanding receivables. The Company may sell additional shares of its common stock pursuant to the ATM Offering (as defined below in Note 10 — Equity), subject to certain limitations on the amount of proceeds that may be raised. The Company also maintains the SEPA (as defined below in Note 10 — Equity), although its ability to access the SEPA is contingent upon specified conditions. The Company’s access to capital under the SEPA is not available as of the date of this filing and would not be available unless and until a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed on July 27, 2023, is filed with the SEC and declared effective and other applicable conditions are met. Moreover, the SEPA is scheduled to expire on February 11, 2026.
On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Aljomaih under which the Company agreed to sell and issue to Aljomaih a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $20.0 million and a maturity date of August 11, 2025. On August 8, 2025, the Company and Aljomaih entered into Amendment Number One to the Note Purchase Agreement and amended and restated the Convertible Note issued thereunder. On August 14, 2025, the Company and Aljomaih entered into a Letter Agreement regarding certain restrictions on convertibility of the Convertible Note (Amendment Number One to the Note Purchase Agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Convertible Note and the Letter Agreement are referred to collectively as the “Aljomaih Amendments”). Among other things, the Aljomaih Amendments extended the maturity of the Convertible Note such that it is now due in ten quarterly installments payable between November 11, 2025 and February 11, 2028. The first four such installments are $1.5 million each, the fifth through eighth installments are $2.0 million each and the final two installments are $3.0 million each;

provided that such installments may be increased in the event certain financing activities result in proceeds to the Company in excess of four times the aggregate amount of Convertible Note principal payments otherwise required on or prior to any installment date. Pursuant to the Aljomaih Amendments, and notwithstanding the postponement of maturity of the Convertible Note, interest that had accrued on the Convertible Note through August 11, 2025, of approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate, was converted into 1,803,262 shares of Common Stock at the 10 -day VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Note) on August 25, 2025.
Based on the Company’s strategies to raise funds as described above and Xos’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, the Company has concluded that it is not probable that such proceeds would provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the next twelve months following the date of the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, it is not probable that Xos’s plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report. Absent the Company being able to collect on its outstanding accounts receivable, obtain a sufficient level of new capital in the near-term and/or obtain replacement financing for, or further extend the maturity of, existing debt, the Company could be required to seek protection under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This could potentially cause the Company to cease operations.
Supply Chain Disruptions
While the Company’s ability to source certain critical inventory items has been steadily improving, it is still experiencing long-standing negative effects from global economic conditions, and expects such effects to continue to varying degrees for the foreseeable future. The Company has also observed, and expects to be impacted by, sporadic and unpredictable shortages for specific components, primarily in power electronics and harnesses, and disruptions to the supply of components. The implementation and/or threat of new and increased tariffs, as well as fluctuating fuel prices and geopolitical conflicts have compounded ongoing supply and demand pressures.
Fluctuating tariff regimes—particularly those targeting imports of power electronics, battery components, and structural materials—have introduced significant volatility in the Company’s cost structure and procurement planning. The uncertainty around tariff implementation timelines and scope has necessitated frequent adjustments to sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and contract terms.
To mitigate these impacts, the Company has undertaken the following measures:
•diversification of supply base to include alternate suppliers in tariff-exempt or trade-friendly regions;
•renegotiation of pricing and delivery terms to account for tariff exposure and cost passthroughs;
•reclassification and compliance reviews to ensure correct harmonized tariff schedule (HTS) codes and leverage tariff exemptions or reduced duty programs, where applicable; and
•strategic stockpiling of high-risk components to reduce exposure to near-term tariff hikes.
The Company has been closely monitoring potential changes to trade policies and tariffs in order to proactively adjust and refine our strategy. These actions are aimed at preserving cost competitiveness and securing uninterrupted supply amid a fluid and unpredictable trade policy environment. Notwithstanding these efforts, the ongoing regulatory changes may affect our ability to source components from specific regions or maintain access to critical suppliers on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Note 2— Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
15

statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including (i) presenting bad debt expense as a reconciling item for the calculation of the net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and (ii) classification of amounts comprising stepvans & vehicle incentives, powertrains, Hubs and other product revenue as described in Note 3 — Revenue Recognition. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities or net loss.
Warranty Liability
The Company provides customers with a product warranty that assures that the products meet standard specifications and is free for periods typically between 2 to 5 years. The Company accrues warranty reserve for the products sold, which includes its best estimate of the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranties and recalls if identified. These estimates are based on actual claims incurred to date and an estimate of the nature, frequency and costs of future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given the Company’s relatively short history of sales, and changes to its historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve in the future. Claims incurred under the Company’s standard product warranty programs are recorded based on open claims. The Company recorded warranty liability within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The reconciliation of the change in the Company’s product liability balances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 72 % of the Company’s revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 28 %, and 21 % of the Company’s revenues, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 61 % of the Company’s revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, three customers accounted for 16 %, 14 %, and 11 % of the Company’s revenues, respectively.
Accounts receivable totaled $15.4 million, net of allowance of $0.2 million, and $26.9 million, net of allowance of $0.2 million, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for 64 % of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 11 % and 10 % of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, no customer had an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Concentration of Supply Risk
The Company is dependent on its suppliers, the majority of which are single-source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of its products according to the schedule and at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to the Company, or its inability to efficiently manage these components, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
As of September 30, 2025, one vendor accounted for 39 % of the Company’s accounts payable. As of December 31, 2024, three vendors accounted for 19 %, 15 %, and 10 % of the Company’s accounts payable, respectively.
Segment Information
The Company operates under one segment as it has developed, marketed, and sold primarily only one class of similar products of electric step vans, stripped chassis vehicles, battery systems, Hubs, and other products. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
Operating Lease Termination
On August 21, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Mesa, Arizona, leased by the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, EMV Automotive USA Inc., to terminate the lease on the facility (“Mesa Lease”) and, although the Company is no longer obligated to pay rent on the Mesa Lease, the termination agreement calls for 18 monthly payments by the Company of approximately $2.8 million in the aggregate. In conjunction with the termination, (i) a gain of $9.4 million was recognized, (ii) leasing commissions expense of $1.3 million were incurred and included in other (expense) income, net, (iii) a security deposit of $0.9 million, net of $0.3 million utilities security deposit received, was kept by the lessor and removed from other non-current assets, (iv) $1.2 million short-term lease liabilities were decreased in other current liabilities, and (v) long-term lease liabilities were decreased by $13.8 million in other non-current liabilities.

Equipment Lease Termination
Pursuant to a Compromise Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company and the lessor of the Company’s long-term vehicles leases, the Company issued 64,043 shares of unregistered common stock and paid $110,000 in cash to settle approximately $0.2 million in short-term equipment lease liabilities and $0.2 million in long-term equipment lease liabilities owed by the Company. As a result of the settlement, a gain of $17,000 was recognized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued and not yet Adopted:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires incremental annual income tax disclosures. This amendment includes disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold; income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold; income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expenses (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted). The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment to the related financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement -Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. As clarified, these amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), to allow entities to elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2026 applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. As the Company does not currently have material credit losses on its trade receivables, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to update the accounting for software developed for internal use to better align with software development as it has evolved from a sequential development method to incremental and iterative development methods. The amendments in this update require an entity to begin capitalizing internal-use software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2028, applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or by a modified approach, with early adoption permitted. As the Company does not currently have a material amount of software developed for internal use, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The Company is still evaluating all other applicable recently issued accounting pronouncements to evaluate the impact of the adoption of such pronouncements on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

The Company leases stepvans and Hubs to customers under operating leases with terms ranging from 24 to 36 months. At the end of the lease term, customers are required to return the vehicles to Xos. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating lease revenue of $0 and $7,000 , respectively, on a straight-line basis over the contractual terms of the respective leases as part of Stepvans & vehicle incentives, above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating lease revenue of $11,000 and $29,000 , respectively, on a straight-line basis over the contractual terms of the respective leases as part of Stepvans & vehicle incentives, above. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating lease revenue of $23,000 and $11,000 , respectively, on a straight-line basis over the contractual terms of the respective leases as part of powertrains & Hubs, above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded operating lease revenue of $45,000 and $18,000 , respectively, on a straight-line basis over the contractual terms of the respective leases as part of powertrains & Hubs, above.
Note 4 — Acquisition of ElectraMeccanica
On March 26, 2024, Xos acquired all of the issued and outstanding ElectraMeccanica Shares in exchange for the issuance of 1,766,388 shares of Xos Common Stock. The transfer of common shares resulted in the Xos stockholders and ElectraMeccanica shareholders immediately prior to the transaction owning approximately 79 % and 21 % of Xos upon completion of the transaction, respectively. The Company accounted for the acquisition of ElectraMeccanica as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805-50, Acquisition of Assets Rather than a Business, because the acquired set of assets and activities did not include a substantive process. Therefore, the acquired set of assets and activities does not meet the definition of a business. This determination was made with key judgments including the following:
•ElectraMeccanica has discontinued, recalled, and repurchased all previously sold three-wheeled electric vehicles (the “SOLO”) because of a loss of propulsion issue that resulted in the vehicles being under a “do not drive” order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. All in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects to commercialize the SOLO or a new four-wheeled electric (the “E4”) were terminated by ElectraMecannica. The IPR&D related to SOLO and E4 has nominal value and require significant time, cost, and engineering efforts to commercialize.
•The majority of the assembled workforce was performing administrative tasks or working on the destruction of the remaining inventory and closing of leased facilities at the time of the acquisition. The destruction of the remaining inventory was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The acquired assembled workforce did not contain sufficient engineers with the knowledge and skill set to commercialize ElectraMeccanica’s terminated IPR&D projects.

Accordingly, the purchase consideration provided by Xos to effect the acquisition has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon their relative fair values. The following table summarizes the acquisition of ElectraMeccanica on March 26, 2024 (in thousands):

(1) As a result of the asset acquisition accounting, the transaction costs of $3.7 million associated with the acquisition are included in the costs of the assets acquired and allocated amongst qualifying assets using the relative fair value basis. The transaction costs primarily included financial advisor fees, accounting, and legal expenses.
(2) As of the date of acquisition, the Company assumed two lease facilities in connection with the ElectraMeccanica acquisition which are reflected in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities of approximately $1.2 million and $16.0 million, respectively.
Note 5 — Lease Receivable
For deferred equipment agreements that contain embedded operating leases, upon lease commencement, the Company defers and records the equipment cost of operating lease assets within property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation. These operating lease assets are subsequently amortized to cost of goods sold over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
For deferred equipment agreements that contain embedded sales-type leases, the Company recognizes lease revenue and costs, as well as a lease receivable, at the time the lease commences. Costs related to embedded leases within the Company’s deferred equipment agreements are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Interest on the lease receivable was immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

i.If the volume-weighted average closing share price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $420.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20 -trading day period between the Merger closing date and the five year anniversary of such closing date (“Earn-out Period”), then the Company is required to issue an aggregate of 180,000 shares (“Tranche 1 Earn-out Shares”) of Common Stock to holders with the contingent right to receive Earn-out Shares (excluding any Earn-out RSUs). If after Closing and during the Earn-out Period, there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company is required to issue Tranche 1 Earn-out Shares when the value per share of the Company is equal to or greater than $420.00 per share, but less than $600.00 . If there is a change in control where the value per share of common stock is less than $420.00 , then the Earn-out Shares shall terminate prior to the end of the Earn-out Period and no Common Stock shall be issuable.
ii.If the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $600.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20 -trading day period during the Earn-out Period, then the Company is required to issue an aggregate of 180,000 shares (“Tranche 2 Earn-out Shares”) of Common Stock to holders with the contingent right to receive Earn-out Shares (excluding any Earn-out RSUs). If after Closing and during the Earn-out Period, there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company is required to issue Tranche 2 Earn-out Shares when the value per share of the Company is equal to or greater than $600.00 per share, but less than $750.00 .
iii.If the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $750.00 per share for any 10 trading days within any consecutive 20 -trading day period during the Earn-out Period, then the Company is required to issue an aggregate of 180,000 shares (“Tranche 3 Earn-out Shares”) of Common Stock to holders with the contingent right to receive Earn-out Shares (excluding any Earn-out RSUs). If after Closing and during the Earn-out Period, there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company is required to issue Tranche 3 Earn-out Shares when the value per share of the Company is equal to or greater than $750.00 per share.
Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the right to Earn-out Shares was classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement liability, and the increase or decrease in the fair value during the reporting period is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations accordingly. The fair value of the Earn-out Shares liability was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation of the stock prices based on historical and implied market volatility of a peer group of public companies.
For each of the periods ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Earn-out Shares liability was estimated to be $0 0 in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company recognized a change in the fair value of Earn-out Shares liability of $0 and $33,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The allocated fair value to the Earn-out RSU component, which is covered by ASU 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period commencing on the grant date of the award.

Note 9 — Convertible Notes
Convertible Promissory Note
On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Aljomaih under which the Company agreed to sell and issue to Aljomaih a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $20.0 million. On August 11, 2022, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued $20.0 million in principal amount of a convertible promissory note (the “Original Note”) to Aljomaih. On September 28, 2022, the Company and Aljomaih agreed to amend and restate the Original Note (as amended and restated, the “Note”) to, among other things, adjust the calculation of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable as interest, as described further below.
The Note, which was initially scheduled to mature on August 11, 2025, bears interest at a rate of 10.0 % per annum, payable at maturity in validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”), unless earlier converted or paid. If the 10 -day VWAP ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable payment date is greater than or equal to the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) or the Company has received the requisite approval from its stockholders (which it has), the number of Interest Shares to be issued will be calculated based on such 10 -day VWAP; otherwise, the number of Interest Shares to be issued would have been based on the Nasdaq Minimum Price. The conversion price for the Note is initially equal to $71.451 per share, subject to adjustment in some events pursuant to the terms of the Note. The Company will have the right, in its sole discretion and exercisable at its election by sending notice of such exercise to Aljomaih, to irrevocably fix the method of settlement that will apply to all conversions of Notes. Methods of settlement include (i) physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, (ii) cash settlement determined by multiplying the principal being converted by the 10 -day VWAP ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date and dividing by the conversion price, or (iii) a combination of Common Stock and cash.
On August 8, 2025, the Company and Aljomaih entered into Amendment Number One to the Note Purchase Agreement and amended and restated the Convertible Note issued thereunder. On August 14, 2025, the Company and Aljomaih entered into a Letter Agreement regarding certain restrictions on convertibility of the Convertible Note. Among other things, the Aljomaih Amendments extended the maturity of the Convertible Note so that it is now due in ten quarterly installments payable between November 11, 2025 and February 11, 2028. The first four such installments are $1.5 million each, the fifth through eighth installments are $2.0 million each and the final two installments are $3.0 million each; provided that such installments may be increased in the event certain financing activities result in proceeds to the Company in excess of four times the aggregate amount of Convertible Note principal payments otherwise required on or prior to any installment date. Pursuant to the Aljomaih Amendments, and notwithstanding the postponement of maturity of the Convertible Note, the interest accrued on the Convertible Note through August 11, 2025, of approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate, was converted into 1,803,262 shares of Common Stock at the 10 -day VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Note) on August 25, 2025.
The Note also includes an optional redemption feature that provides the Company, on or after August 11, 2024, or as otherwise agreed to between the Company and Aljomaih in writing, the right to redeem the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, upon written notice not less than 5 trading days prior to exercise of the option, in full or in part and without penalty.
The Company accounts for the Note in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which the Note was analyzed for the identification of material embedded features that meet the criteria for equity treatment and/or bifurcation and must be recorded as a liability. The Company initially classified the Note as a non-current liability given a maturity date of greater than one year, however, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Note was reclassified as a current liability since its maturity date is less than one year from September 30, 2024. Subsequent to the period end, the Note was amended, and as a result of such amendment, a portion of the Note has been reclassified as a non-current liability at June 30, 2025, due to a change in the principal repayment schedule of the Note.
The Note will not be included in the computation of either basic or diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2025 in Note 17 — Net Income (Loss) per Share. This financial instrument is not included in basic EPS because it does not represent participating securities. Further, the Note is not included in diluted EPS because including these financial instruments would have an antidilutive effect on EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a principal balance of $20.0 0 and $30,000 , respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized through the maturity date of the Note using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of debt issuance costs, recorded in other (expense) income, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was immaterial

As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, upon execution of the SEPA, the Company issued 619 shares of Common Stock to Yorkville.
On June 22, 2023, the Company and Yorkville entered into the First Amendment to Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA Amendment”), in which the Company and Yorkville amended the SEPA to: (1) change the calculation of the purchase price of an Option 1 Advance (as defined in the SEPA) from an average of the daily VWAP of the Common Stock during a three-day pricing period to the lowest VWAP during such three-day pricing period; (2) change the denomination of any requested advances from the Company to Yorkville under the SEPA from dollars to shares; (3) increase Yorkville’s beneficial ownership limitation under the SEPA from 4.99 % to 9.99 % of the outstanding Common Stock, provided that if any portion of an advance under the SEPA would cause Yorkville to exceed the beneficial ownership limitation due to Yorkville’s ownership of the Company’s securities convertible into Common Stock, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that such securities will be convertible into will be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock included in such advance for such period that Yorkville holds such shares of common stock covered by such advance and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such advance will not be reduced; (4) extend the commitment period to February 11, 2026 and (5) make other administrative and drafting changes.

Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-thirtieth of one share of Common Stock. The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $345.00 per whole share, subject to adjustments, and will expire on August 20, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

A registration statement was filed with the SEC covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Company undertook use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock until the Public Warrants expire or are redeemed. If the shares of Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until September 19, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial shareholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was (0.09 )% and (0.04 )%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was (0.15 )% and (0.04 )%, respectively.

Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its financial statements. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions that meet this threshold as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various states, as well as Canada and China. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authorities. The Company generally is not subject to examination for tax years prior to 2020.
At September 30, 2025, the Company’s deferred income taxes were in a net asset position mainly due to deferred tax assets generated by net operating losses. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be realized. A full review of all positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including the Company's current and past performance, the market environments in which the Company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, the length of carryback and carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies that might be implemented. Management believes that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized; accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the President signed H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense. The Act modifies various energy credits to accelerate the phase out of these credits. The Act also includes certain changes to the US taxation of foreign activity, including changes to foreign tax credits, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII), and Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT), amongst other changes. These changes are generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Because the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the enactment of OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate any impacts on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Note 19 — Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
•Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement of the assets or liabilities. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, warrants and earn-out shares liability. The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximates carrying value due to their short-term maturity.
As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which Xos’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in this Item 2 (including in the sections entitled “Overview” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below), in the accompanying unaudited notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report, under the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this Report, and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Xos and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Recent Developments
On August 8, 2025, the Company and Aljomaih amended the Convertible Note primarily (i) to provide for payment of Interest Shares with respect to all interest accrued through the initial maturity date, and (ii) to change the scheduled repayment of principal from all at once on August 11, 2025, to spread over ten quarterly installments beginning November 11, 2025 and ending February 11, 2028. See Note 9 — Convertible Notes of this Report. Management plans to continue to seek opportunities to reduce costs and, in particular, cash expenditures, in a manner intended to minimize their adverse impact on our core operations. However, there can be no assurance that the measures described above, or any other cost-cutting measures we may implement in the future, will be sufficient to address our immediate or longer-term liquidity and working capital needs.
On August 21, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Mesa, Arizona, leased by the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, EMV Automotive USA Inc., to terminate the lease on the facility. As a result of the termination, the Company is no longer obligated to pay rent on the Mesa Lease and the Company will make 18 monthly payments of approximately $2.8 million to complete the termination. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of this Report.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in this Report.
Successful Commercialization of our Products and Services
We expect to derive future revenue from sales of our vehicles, battery systems and other product and service offerings. As many of these products are in development, we will require substantial additional capital to continue developing our products and services and bring them to full commercialization as well as fund our operations for the foreseeable future. Until we can generate sufficient revenue from product sales, we expect to finance a substantial portion of our operations through commercialization and production and any future capital raising efforts. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements, if any, will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our commercialization efforts.
Customer Demand
We have sold a limited number of our vehicles to our existing customers, have agreements with future customers and have received interest from other potential customers. The sales of our vehicles and services to our existing and future customers will be an important indicator of our performance.
Supply Chain Disruptions
While our ability to source certain critical inventory items has been steadily improving, we are still experiencing long-standing negative effects from global economic conditions, and management expects such effects to continue to varying degrees for the foreseeable future. We have also observed, and expect to be impacted by, sporadic and unpredictable shortages for specific components, primarily in power electronics and harnesses, and disruptions to the supply of components.
Fluctuating tariff regimes—particularly those targeting imports of power electronics, battery components, and structural materials—have introduced significant volatility in the Company’s cost structure and procurement planning. The uncertainty
36
around tariff implementation timelines and scope has necessitated frequent adjustments to sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and contract terms.
To mitigate these impacts, the Company has undertaken the following measures:
•diversification of supply base to include alternate suppliers in tariff-exempt or trade-friendly regions;
•renegotiation of pricing and delivery terms to account for tariff exposure and cost passthroughs;
•reclassification and compliance reviews to ensure correct HTS codes and leverage tariff exemptions or reduced duty programs, where applicable; and
•strategic stockpiling of high-risk components to reduce exposure to near-term tariff hikes.
We have been closely monitoring potential changes to trade policies and tariffs in order to proactively adjust and refine our strategy. These actions are aimed at preserving cost competitiveness and securing uninterrupted supply amid a fluid and unpredictable trade policy environment. Notwithstanding these efforts, the ongoing tariffs and regulatory changes may affect our ability to source components from specific regions or maintain access to critical suppliers.
Overview
We are a leading fleet electrification solutions provider committed to the decarbonization of commercial transportation. We design and manufacture Classes 5 through 8 battery-electric commercial vehicles that travel on last-mile, back-to-base routes of up to 200 miles per day. We also offer, through Xos Energy Solutions™, mobile and fixed charging infrastructure products, such as the Xos Hub, and have from time to time offered services to support electric vehicle fleets. Our proprietary fleet management software, Xosphere™, integrates vehicle operation and vehicle charging to provide commercial fleet operators a more seamless and cost-efficient vehicle ownership experience than traditional internal combustion engine counterparts. We developed the X-Platform (our proprietary, purpose-built vehicle chassis platform) and high-voltage architecture with a focus on the medium-duty commercial vehicle segment and, in particular, last-mile commercial fleet operations.
Our X-Platform provides modular features that allow us to accommodate a wide range of last-mile applications and enable us to offer clients vehicles at a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional diesel fleets. The X-Platform was engineered to be modular in nature to allow fleet operators to customize their vehicles to fit their commercial applications (e.g., upfitting with a specific vehicle body and/or tailoring battery range).
Through our Powered by Xos™ business we also provide mix-use powertrain solutions for off-highway, industrial and other specialty vehicles, such as forklifts, school buses, medical and dental clinics, blood donation vehicles, and mobile command vehicles. Our powertrain offerings encompass a broad range of solutions, including high-voltage batteries, power distribution and management componentry, battery management systems, system controls, inverters, electric traction motors and auxiliary drive systems.
Xos Energy Solutions™ is our charging infrastructure business through which we offer mobile and stationary multi-application chargers, including the Xos Hub, and mobile energy storage to accelerate transitions to electric fleets by maximizing incentive capture and reducing implementation lead times and costs.
We have also developed a fleet management platform called Xosphere™ that interconnects vehicle, maintenance, charging, and service data. The Xosphere™ is aimed at minimizing electric fleet total cost of ownership through fleet management integration. This comprehensive suite of tools allows fleet operators to monitor vehicle and charging performance in real-time with in-depth telematics; reduce charging cost; optimize energy usage; and manage maintenance and support with a single software tool.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we delivered 98 vehicles (including leases) and 32 powertrains & Hubs. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we delivered 78 vehicles and 16 powertrains & Hubs. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we generated $13.7 million in revenue (or 83% of revenue) in vehicle sales, $2.6 million (or 16% of revenue) in powertrain & Hub sales, $0.1 million (or 1% of revenue) in other product revenue, and $0.1 million (or 0% of revenue) in ancillary revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we generated $12.1 million in revenue (or 77% of revenue) from vehicle sales, $2.8 million (or 18% of revenue) in powertrain & Hub sales, $0.1 million (or 1% of revenue) in other product revenue, and $0.7 million (or 4% of revenue) from ancillary revenue.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we delivered 248 vehicles (including leases) and 46 powertrains & Hubs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we delivered 216 vehicles and 30 powertrains & Hubs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated $34.3 million in revenue (or 84% of revenue) in vehicle sales, $5.2 million (or
37
13% of revenue) in powertrain & Hub sales, $0.7 million (or 2% of revenue) in other product revenue, and $0.5 million (or 1% of revenue) in ancillary revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated $36.9 million in revenue (or 83% of revenue) from vehicle sales, $4.7 million (or 10% of revenue) in powertrain & Hub sales, $1.4 million (or 3% of revenue) in other product revenue, and $1.6 million (or 4% of revenue) from ancillary revenue.
We believe our growth in the coming years will be supported by the growth of e-commerce and last-mile delivery, and will depend in part on regulatory and consumer interest in reducing the impacts of climate change. E-commerce continues to grow rapidly and has been accelerated by changes in consumer purchasing behavior as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial trucks are the largest emitters of greenhouse gasses per capita in the transportation industry. Although there can be no assurance such goals will be maintained, the U.S. federal, state and foreign governments, along with corporations such as FedEx, UPS and Amazon, have set ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We believe regulation relating to commercial vehicles, sustainability initiatives from leading financial and corporate institutions and growth of last-mile logistics will be important factors in establishing the level of demand for, and adoption of, our products worldwide.
Xos is an early-stage growth company, and as such has incurred net losses and cash outflows since its inception. As an early-stage growth company, the Company's ability to access capital is critical. However, there can be no assurance such capital will be available to the Company when needed, on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to collect on our outstanding accounts receivable, obtain a sufficient level of new capital in the near-term and/or obtain replacement financing for or extend the maturity of existing debt, we could be required to dissolve and liquidate our assets under bankruptcy laws or otherwise.
As an early-stage growth company, we have incurred net losses and cash outflows since our inception. We will continue to incur net losses and cash outflows in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to scale our operations to meet anticipated demand and seek to establish our product and service offerings. As a result, our ability to access capital is critical and until we can generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fund and scale our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our commercialization, research and development programs and/or other efforts and our ability to continue our operations would be negatively impacted. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and/or seek protection under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This could potentially cause us to cease operations and result in a complete or partial loss of your investment in our Common Stock.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xos and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xos Fleet, Inc. and Xos Services, Inc. (f/k/a Rivordak, Inc.), as well as the entities acquired pursuant to the Arrangement with ElectraMeccanica. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All long-lived assets are maintained in, and all losses are attributable to, the United States.
Currently, we conduct business through one operating segment. We are an early-stage growth company with minimal commercial operations and our activities to date have been conducted primarily within North America. For more information about our basis of operations, refer to Note 1 - Description of Business in the accompanying unaudited notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
To date, we have primarily generated revenue from the sale of electric step vans, stripped chassis vehicles and battery systems. Our stripped chassis is our vehicle offering that consists of our X-Platform electric vehicle base and battery systems, which customers can upfit with their preferred vehicle body. As we continue to expand our commercialization, we expect our revenue to come from these products and other vehicle offerings including chassis cabs, which will feature our chassis and powertrain with the inclusion of a proprietary designed cab, and tractors, a shortened version of the chassis cab designed to haul trailers (also known as “day cabs”), that travel in last-mile use cases. Through Xos Energy Solutions™, we have provided charging infrastructure, including our Xos Hub, as well as certain energy services. In addition, we offer Xosphere™, our fleet management platform.
38
Revenue consists of product sales, inclusive of shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for customer allowances, service offerings, and leasing. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for delivering products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy the performance obligations under the contract. We recognize revenue by delivering the promised products to the customer, with the revenue recognized at the point in time the customer takes control of the products. For shipping and handling charges, revenue is recognized at the time the products are delivered to or picked up by the customer. For operating leases which are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. The majority of our current contracts have a single performance obligation, which is met at the point in time that the product is delivered, and title passes, to the customer, and are short term in nature.
Revenue also consists of sales-type leases which are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases. Revenue is the lower of the fair value of the asset leased or the present value of the lease receivable and prepayments.
We also earn tradable credits in the operation of our automotive business under various regulations related to emission reduction, clean fuel, and others. We sell these credits to other regulated entities who can use the credits to comply with emission standards and other regulatory requirements. We recognize revenue on the sale of these credits, which have negligible incremental costs associated with them, at the time control of the regulatory credit is transferred to the purchasing party.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes materials and other direct costs related to production of our vehicles, including components and parts, batteries, direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead, among others. Cost of goods sold also includes material and other direct costs related to the production and assembly of powertrains and battery packs as well as materials and other costs incurred related to charging infrastructure installation. Materials include inventory purchased from suppliers, as well as assembly components that are assembled by company personnel, including allocation of stock-based compensation expense. Direct labor costs relate to the wages of those individuals responsible for the assembly of vehicles, powertrain units, Hubs and batteries delivered to customers. Cost of goods sold also includes depreciation expense on property and equipment related to cost of goods sold activities, calculated over the estimated useful life of the property and equipment on a straight-line basis. Upon property and equipment retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed, and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), allocated to cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold includes reserves for estimated warranty expenses as well as reserves for estimated returns of vehicles. Additionally, cost of goods sold includes adjustments for the results of physical inventory counts. Cost of goods sold also includes reserves to write down the carrying value of our inventory to their net realizable value and to provide for any excess or obsolescence.
Costs of goods sold includes the impact of identifiable tariff costs related to the production of our vehicles. Tariffs implemented to date in the United States have caused significant disruption, increased costs (both directly and indirectly), and driven uncertainty in the automotive industry for OEMs, suppliers, and dealers, as well as customers. Additional tariffs implemented in the United States and elsewhere in the future may exacerbate these impacts.
We are continuing to undertake efforts to find more cost-effective vendors and sources of parts and raw materials to lower our overall cost of production.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense consists of personnel-related expenses, outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services, as well as expenses for facilities, non-sales related travel, and general office supplies and expenses. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, benefits, allocations of stock-based compensation, and associated payroll taxes. Overhead items including rent, insurance, utilities, and other items are included in G&A expense. G&A expense also includes depreciation expense on property and equipment related to G&A activities, calculated over the estimated useful life of the property and equipment on a straight-line basis. Upon property and equipment retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed, and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), allocated to G&A.
39
Research and Development Expense
Research and development (“R&D”) expense consists primarily of costs incurred for the design and development of our vehicles and battery systems, which include:
•payroll expense for employees primarily engaged in R&D activities, including allocation of stock-based compensation expense;
•expenses related to licenses and subscriptions of software utilized in R&D activities;
•fees paid to third-parties such as consultants and contractors for engineering and computer-aided design work on vehicle designs and other third-party services; and
•expenses related to materials and, supplies consumed in the development and modifications to existing vehicle designs, new vehicle designs contemplated for additional customer offerings, and our battery pack design.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expense consists primarily of expenses related to our marketing of vehicles and brand initiatives, which includes:
•payroll expense for employees primarily engaged in S&M activities, including allocation of stock-based compensation expense; and
•web design, marketing and promotional items, and consultants who assist in the marketing of the Company and its products and services.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (expense) income, net primarily includes interest expense for our equipment leases and interest expense related to our financing obligations, including the amortization for debt discount and issuance costs, offset by gains from the termination of equipment leases and income from the sublease of our Los Angeles, California, office space.
Gain on Operating Lease Termination
Gain on operating lease termination consists of gains from the termination of the Mesa Lease. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
Change in fair value of derivative instruments relates to Common Stock warrant liability assumed as part of the Business Combination. Changes in the fair value relate to remeasurement of our Public and Private Placement Warrants to fair value as of any respective exercise date and as of each subsequent balance sheet date and mark-to-market adjustments for these derivative liabilities each measurement period.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Earn-out Shares Liability
The contingent earn-out shares liability was established as part of the Business Combination. Changes in the fair value relate to remeasurement to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.

Revenues
Our total revenues increased by $0.7 million, or 4%, from $15.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $16.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by an increase in unit sales offset by a decrease in average selling price resulting from product mix. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 98 vehicles and 32 powertrains & Hubs, compared to 78 vehicles and 16 powertrains & Hubs during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Our total revenues decreased by $3.7 million, or 8%, from $44.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $40.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by product mix, resulting in a decrease in average selling price. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 248 vehicles and 46 powertrains & Hubs, compared to 216 vehicles and 30 powertrains & Hubs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We may encounter additional pressure on our loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2025, due to changes in our expected product mix and increased expected costs due to tariffs on parts and commodities we use in the manufacture of our products.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased by $1.1 million, or 8%, from $12.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $14.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the increase in our product revenue and associated increases of (i) $1.0 million in identifiable tariff charges, (ii) $0.3 million in dealer return reserve, (iii) $0.3 million in direct materials, and (iv) $0.1 million for warranty reserve. These increases were offset by decreases of (i) $0.2 million related to reductions in inventory reserves, and (ii) $0.4 million less in unfavorable physical inventory count and other adjustments.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $1.4 million, or 4%, from $36.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $35.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in cost of goods sold is attributable to a change in product mix resulting in decreases of (i) $1.9 million in direct materials, (ii) $0.8 million in direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and freight, (iii) $0.1 million related to reductions in inventory reserves, and (iv) $0.1 million for dealer return reserves. These decreases were offset by increases of (i) $1.0 million in identifiable tariff charges and (ii) $0.5 million for warranty reserve.
42
The changes in direct labor encompasses employee labor costs. The changes in direct labor, manufacturing overhead and direct material costs are driven by changes in units sold. A significant portion of the overhead costs incurred include freight, tariff charges, indirect salaries, facility rent, utilities, and depreciation of production equipment, which are primarily fixed in nature and allocated based on production levels. Accordingly, these costs increase correspondingly with an increase in production volume and units sold.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.4 million, or 27%, from $8.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $6.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, attributable to decreases of (i) $1.4 million in headcount and personnel costs for legal, finance, accounting, information technology and general and administrative functions, including stock-based compensation expense, (ii) $0.4 million in professional fees, (iii) $0.2 million in depreciation expense due to the allocation of less overhead costs, (iv) $0.2 million in facility costs, and (v) $0.2 million in other operating expenses including insurance and computer software costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $6.7 million, or 25%, from $27.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $20.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, attributable to decreases of (i) $5.6 million in headcount and personnel costs for legal, finance, accounting, information technology and general and administrative functions, including stock-based compensation expense, (ii) $1.3 million in other operating expenses including travel, recruiting, and computer software costs, (iii) $0.9 million in depreciation expense due to the allocation of less overhead costs, (iv) $0.8 million in professional fees and (v) $0.2 million in insurance expense. These decreases were offset by increases of (i) $1.9 million in financed equipment lease expense with no such comparable expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and (ii) $0.2 million in facility costs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 20%, from $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to decreases of (i) $0.6 million in allocation of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, driven by lower headcount in engineering. This increase was offset by an increase of (i) $0.1 million in materials purchases.
Research and development expenses decreased by $2.6 million, or 30%, from $8.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $6.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to decreases of (i) $2.1 million in allocation of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, driven by lower headcount in engineering, (ii) $0.5 million in other research and development costs, including consulting and software, as well as equipment and material purchases due to fewer research and development projects in development year over year.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense remained relatively consistent at $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 29%, from $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to decreases of (i) $0.9 million in allocation of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, driven by lower headcount and (ii) $0.1 million in other sales and marketing expenses such as customer accommodation payments and sales events.
Other (Expense) income, net
Other (expense) income, net decreased by $0.5 million, from an expense of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change was attributable to (i) $0.3 million more in other income primarily due to sublease income, (ii) $0.1 million less in interest expense, and (iii) $0.1 million less in impairment expense.
Other (expense) income, net increased by $1.8 million, from income of $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $1.5 million in expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change was attributable to decreases of (i) $2.1 million in other income from duty drawback receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 with no such comparable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and (ii) increases of $0.3 million in impairment on assets held for sale. These decreases were offset by increases of (i) $0.5 million in other income primarily due to sublease income and (ii) $0.1 million less in interest expense.
43
Gain on operating lease termination
The Company recognized $9.4 million from a gain on operating lease termination due to exiting the Mesa Lease during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
The loss on the change in fair value of derivative instruments decreased by $68,000, or 64%, from $107,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $39,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in fair value in both periods is primarily attributable to the change in our stock price and the resulting valuation at the respective reporting period.
The loss on the change in fair value of derivative instruments decreased by $48,000, or 33%, from $147,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $99,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change in fair value in both periods is primarily attributable to the change in our stock price and the resulting valuation at the respective reporting period.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Earn-out Interests Liability
The change in fair value of contingent earn-out shares liability was $0 in both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025. The change in fair value in both periods is primarily attributable to the change in our stock price and the resulting valuation at the respective reporting period.
The gain on the change in fair value of contingent earn-out shares liability decreased by $33,000 from $33,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change in fair value in both periods is primarily attributable to the change in our stock price and the resulting valuation at the respective reporting period.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and an income tax provision of $4,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company recorded income tax provision of $23,000 and $13,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents of $14.1 million with an accumulated deficit of approximately $219.0 million. Our short-term uses of cash are for working capital and to pay the principal of our indebtedness. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of approximately $15.6 million and had net cash provided by operating activities of $3.0 million.
Under ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our future financial obligations as they become due within one year of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. The result of our ASC 205-40 analysis, due to uncertainties discussed below, is that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through the next 12 months from the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.
As an early-stage growth company, we have mainly incurred net losses and cash outflows since our inception. We may continue to incur net losses and cash outflows in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to scale our operations to meet anticipated demand and seek to establish our product and service offerings. As a result, our ability to access capital is critical and until we can generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fund and scale our operations. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial information does not include any adjustment that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In response to these conditions, we are currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. We have plans to secure and intend to employ various strategies to raise additional capital, which may include the ATM Offering (as defined below) and/or the SEPA (as defined below) as well as other capital raising strategies such as debt
44
financing (which may include asset-based lending and/or receivable financing), other non-dilutive financing and/or equity financing. However, we are limited in how much money we can raise under the ATM Offering, and our access to the SEPA is not available as of the date of this Report and will not be available unless and until a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on July 27, 2023, is filed and declared effective and other applicable conditions are met. Moreover, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, the SEPA is scheduled to expire on February 11, 2026. Our ability to access other capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to us when, and in the amounts needed, we could be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of our development programs and other operations, which could materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Global general economic and political conditions, such as inflation, tariffs (or the threat of tariffs), uncertain credit and global financial markets, supply chain disruption, international currency fluctuations, and geopolitical events have had and could continue to have an adverse impact in our ability to raise additional funds. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our commercialization, research and development programs and/or other efforts and our ability to continue our operations would be negatively impacted. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and/or seek protection under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This could potentially cause us to cease operations and result in a complete or partial loss of your investment in our Common Stock.
ATM Offering
On August 14, 2025, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering amount of up to $20 million from time to time through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”). Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, we can currently only sell up to an aggregate of $5,367,542 during any 12-month period pursuant to the Sales Agreement (and any other primary offerings registered on Form S-3). Any sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement would be made in sales deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Agent is entitled to a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. In August 2025, we sold an aggregate of 730,000 shares of common stock in the ATM Offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On March 23, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), which was subsequently amended on June 22, 2023 (as amended, the "SEPA"), whereby we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $125.0 million of our shares of Common Stock at our request any time until February 11, 2026, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining commitment available under the SEPA was $119.4 million. However, our ability to access the remaining commitment amount may be limited by various factors, including, but not limited to, the availability of an effective registration statement permitting the resale of such shares of Common Stock. In particular, the Company’s access to capital under the SEPA is not available as of the date of this Report and will not be available until the Company files with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement. Moreover, such registration statement only registers the resale of 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock, which is insufficient for us to fully utilize the remaining commitment under the SEPA, given the current market price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, the SEPA is scheduled to expire on February 11, 2026. We used the net proceeds received from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the SEPA for working capital and general corporate purposes and expect similar uses of any remaining proceeds going forward. See Note 9 — Convertible Notes and Note 10 — Equity — Standby Equity Purchase Agreement in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the SEPA.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operating activities is significantly affected by the growth of our business. Our operating cash flow is also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in inventory and fluctuations in accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily consisting of a cash-basis net loss of $15.3 million from normal operations of the Company (after non-cash adjustments of $0.2 million), partially offset by favorable net working capital changes of $18.3 million, primarily driven by lower accounts receivable due to collections, inventories due to improved inventory turns and other liabilities, partially offset by lower accounts payable.
Net cash used in operating activities was $52.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily consisting of a cash-basis net loss of $19.6 million from normal operations of the Company (after non-cash adjustments of $11.6 million), further driven by unfavorable net working capital changes of $32.5 million, primarily driven by higher accounts receivable and inventory.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $43,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $51.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to $51.4 million net cash acquired in connection with the acquisition of ElectraMeccanica and net proceeds from sale of assets held for sale of $0.1 million, partially offset by property and equipment purchases of $0.3 million.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which primarily related to (i) $2.4 million of proceeds from issuance of common stock under an at-the-market offering by the Company and (ii) net short-term insurance financing note activity of $0.4 million. This was partially offset by (i) equipment lease principal payments of $1.9 million and (ii) taxes paid relating to net-settlement of stock-based awards of $0.8 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily related to (i) equipment lease principal payments of $1.7 million and (ii) taxes paid relating to net-settlement of stock-based awards of $0.9 million. This was partially offset by proceeds from net short-term insurance financing note activity of $1.1 million.
Management plans to continue to seek opportunities to reduce costs and, in particular, cash expenditures, in a manner intended to minimize their adverse impact on our core operations. However, there can be no assurance that the measures described above, or any other cost-cutting measures we may implement in the future, will be sufficient to address our immediate or longer-term liquidity and working capital needs.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As a result of the Mesa Lease Termination, future lease commitments have been reduced, as further discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We did not have any additional material contractual obligations or other commitments as of September 30, 2025, other than as disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K, and in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies.
46
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our most significant estimates and judgments involve inventory valuation, incremental borrowing rates for assessing operating and financing lease liabilities, useful lives of property and equipment, earn-out shares liability, stock-based compensation, common stock warrant liability, product warranty liability and valuations utilized in connection with acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial statements.
There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 — Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing for more information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K), we are not required to provide the information under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based upon each of their evaluations, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective at the reasonable assurance level for the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all possible instances of errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
47
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025 and, in making this assessment, used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Because of the material weaknesses described below, our management believes that, as of September 30, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, a material weakness increases the risk that the financial information we report contains material errors. If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, determine that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, discover areas that need improvement in the future or discover additional material weaknesses, these shortcomings could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results, and the price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, during the financial reporting close process, management identified material weaknesses in the design and operation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting related to three areas, specifically, inventory management, revenue recognition, and information technology (IT) general controls. We believe these material weaknesses were caused by turnover of accounting, operations and IT positions within the Company’s organization, resulting in the inability of Company accounting personnel who have recently assumed new and additional responsibilities, to identify, evaluate and address technical accounting and disclosure matters that affect our annual and interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a timely basis. Due to Management’s efforts to reduce costs and preserve liquidity, the Company was not able to develop and retain sufficient resources to fulfill internal control responsibilities, resulting in the lack of a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of knowledge and experience. Management has determined that these deficiencies are related to insufficient internal resources in technical accounting and financial reporting impacting our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025.
Based on the results of our evaluation and the material weaknesses described above, Management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of annual and interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP as of December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, Management has concluded that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with U.S. GAAP for each of the periods presented therein.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In order to remediate these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the ineffective design and operation of controls related to inventory management, revenue recognition and IT general controls, management is implementing financial reporting control changes to address these material weaknesses. Management is implementing remediation steps to improve its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting, including further documenting and implementing control procedures to address the identified risks of material misstatements, and implementing monitoring activities over such control procedures. We believe we are on schedule to remediate the material weaknesses during the year ended December 31, 2025. Remediation efforts to date include the following:
•Adding qualified resources and improved training over the inventory management and revenue recognition processes;
•Adding qualified resources to ensure proper segregation of duties over IT systems, processes and controls
•Utilizing internal employees and/or partnering with external consultants specializing in public company control compliance to assess and implement additional controls over the inventory management and revenue recognition processes, and over IT general controls.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reiterated its commitment to strengthening internal controls, fostering control consciousness, and maintaining a strong control environment to address material weaknesses. The Company will continue its ongoing review, optimization, and enhancement of financial reporting controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remediated control operates for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that this enhanced control is operating effectively.
48
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
49
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our risk factors are described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
No unregistered sales of equity securities occurred during the quarter other than those previously reported in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, or on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
(a) In the Company’s Form 8-K, reporting for August 18, 2025 (the “18-August Form 8-K”), it was reported that John F. Smith was appointed to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board at the same time as his election to serve as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors. This was a clerical error, as Mr. Smith has not been appointed to the Audit Committee, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board had determined that Mr. Smith is qualified to serve on the Audit Committee and the Board expects to appoint him to the Audit Committee in the future. No other aspect of the 18-August Form 8-K is updated or amended.
(c) During our last fiscal quarter, except as set forth below, none of our directors or officers, as defined in Rule 16a-(1)(f), adopted or terminated
On September 16, 2025 , Dietmar Ostermann , a member of our board of directors , entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (the “Ostermann Trading Arrangement”) with respect to the potential sale of up to an aggregate of 36,429 shares of Xos Common Stock, that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Orders under the Ostermann Arrangement will be effective no earlier than December 18, 2025, and will be executed or cancelled by August 17, 2026 at the latest.
On September 16, 2025 , Michael Richardson , a member of our board of directors , entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (the “Richardson Trading Arrangement”) with respect to the potential sale of up to an aggregate of 30,193 shares of Xos Common Stock, that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Orders under the Richardson Arrangement will be effective no earlier than December 18, 2025, and will be executed or cancelled by August 17, 2026 at the latest.
On September 29, 2025 , Alice Jackson , a member of our board of directors , entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (the “Jackson Trading Arrangement”) with respect to the potential sale of up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Xos Common Stock, that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
