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, 2021 and 2020 presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

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) classification of operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, (ii) presenting equipment leases as part of other current and non-current liabilities and (iii) classification of amounts comprising prepaid expenses and other current assets as well as other current liabilities as included in Note 5 - Selected Balance Sheet Data. The Company reclassified a portion of its payroll related expenses in general and administrative to sales and marketing and research and development. Additionally, the Company reclassified depreciation expense to general and administrative expense. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has identified an immaterial prior period revision with respect to the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company identified that they incorrectly adjusted both the numerator for the change in fair value included in earnings and the incremental shares in the denominator when calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjustments related to public and private placement

warrants should have been excluded as they were out-of-the-money and adjustments related to earn-out shares should have been excluded because the earn-out triggering event had not been met. This resulted in a misstatement of dilutive earnings per share on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company evaluated the effects of this error on our previously-issued condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, “Assessing Materiality,” and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-2, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and concluded that no prior period is materially misstated. Accordingly, we have revised our condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted prior periods herein.
The total identified misstatement to net (loss) income per share – diluted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.38 per share and $0.42 per share, increasing diluted EPS from the reported diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $(0.08 ) and $(0.28 ) per share to the corrected amounts of $0.30 and $0.14 per share, respectively. The misstatement to weighted average shares outstanding (“WASO”) – diluted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was (32,858,513 ) shares and (32,698,874 ) shares, respectively, decreasing WASO – diluted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 148,790,656 and 121,186,219 to the corrected amounts of 115,932,143 and 88,487,345 , respectively. Refer to Note 17 — Net (Loss) Income per Share in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Inventory and Inventory Valuation
The Company’s inventory, which includes raw materials, work in-process, and finished goods, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). Inventory is valued using average costing, as that method accurately reflects the frequency of the Company’s inventory purchases. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on operating capacity.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether its inventories are damaged, obsolete, or have material changes in price or other causes, and if so, a loss is recognized in the period in which it occurs. Inventory write-downs are also based on reviews for obsolescence determined primarily by future demand forecasts. If the Company’s inventory on-hand is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written-off. The Company reserves for any excess or obsolete inventories when it is believed that the net realizable value of inventories is less than the carrying value.
The Company also reviews its inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. NRV is the estimated selling price of inventory in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company determines the estimated selling price of its inventory based on market conditions. Once inventory is written-down, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

Leases
Upon inception of a contract, the Company evaluates if the contract, or part of the contract, contains a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments, and the ROU asset value is derived from the calculation of the lease liability, including prepaid lease payments, if any. Lease payments include fixed and in-substance fixed payments, variable payments based on an index or rate, reasonably certain purchase options, termination penalties, fees paid by the lessee to the owners of a special-purpose entity for restructuring the transaction, and probable amounts the lessee will owe under a residual value guarantee. Lease payments do not include (i) variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or rate, (ii) any guarantee by the lessee of the lessor’s debt, or (iii) any amount allocated to non-lease components, if such election is made upon adoption, per the provisions of ASU 2016-02, Leases.
When the Company cannot determine the actual implicit rate in a lease, it uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances, if any, as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease term includes any option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain to be exercised based on considering all relevant economic factors. Operating expense charges from the lessor are accounted for on an accrual basis. The Company has elected not to separate the lease and non-lease components.
The leases have remaining initial terms ranging from less than 1 year to 4 years.
The Company reviews the carrying value of its right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding financing costs. If the Company determines that an impairment exists, any related impairment loss is estimated based on fair values.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted:
ASC 842, Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as subsequently amended, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors), and replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The new standard also requires lessees to recognize operating and finance lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has presented financial results and applied its accounting policies for the period beginning January 1, 2022 under ASC 842, while prior period results and accounting policies have not been adjusted and are reflected under legacy GAAP pursuant to ASC 840. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company performed an analysis of contracts under ASC 840 to ensure proper assessment of leases (or embedded leases) in existence as of January 1, 2022. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842, which allows the Company not to reassess 1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, 2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date and 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the adoption date. The most significant impact of applying ASC 842 was the recognition of ROU asset and lease liabilities for operating leases in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. On January 1, 2022, the Company recognized an initial operating ROU asset of $7.7 million and associated operating lease liabilities of $7.7 million.
Refer to Note 6 — Leases for further information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements, as well as its various accounting policies for each lease type.
ASU 2020-06: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies (i) the accounting for convertible financing instruments issued, including preferred stock, (ii) the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and (iii) the calculation of earnings per share. Early adoption is permissible, and the Company elected to early adopt the provisions of the ASU on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. At the date of adoption, the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued and not yet Adopted:
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”): In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which states the Company will be required to use an expected-loss model for its marketable debt securities, available-for sale, which requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as an impairment write-down. Reversals of credit losses (in situations in which the estimate of credit losses declines) is permitted in the reporting period that the change occurs. Current U.S. GAAP prohibits reflecting reversals of credit losses in current period earnings. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $59.7 million in marketable debt securities, available for sale which would be subject to this new standard. As of September 30, 2022, these marketable debt securities, available for sale have an average credit rating of A and no impairment write-downs have been recorded. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its investment policy and investments and does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its financial statements at adoption or in subsequent periods. The Company expects to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2023.

Note 7— Recapitalization and Earn-out Shares Liability
Recapitalization
As discussed in Note 1, on August 20, 2021, Legacy Xos and NextGen consummated the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Xos has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
•Xos stockholders have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;
•The board of directors of Xos is authorized to be up to nine members and had six members designated at the time of closing, and Xos having the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors as of closing;
•Xos management holds executive management roles (including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Technology Officer, among others) for the post-combination company and is responsible for the day-to-day operations;
•The post-combination company assumed the Xos name: “Xos, Inc.”; and
•The intended strategy of the post-combination entity continued Legacy Xos’ strategy of being a leader in the electric vehicle industry.

Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these combined and consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Xos and its wholly owned subsidiaries “as if” Legacy Xos is the predecessor and legal successor. The historical operations of Legacy Xos are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Xos prior to the business combination; (ii) the combined results of NextGen and Legacy Xos following the Business Combination; and (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Xos at their historical cost. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the business combination transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse capitalization.
In connection with the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Xos Common Stock and Legacy Xos Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination (with each share of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock being treated as if it were converted into Legacy Xos Common Stock immediately prior to the Business Combination) converted into the right to receive 1.956440 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Common Stock.
Also, in connection with the Business Combination, the following occurred:
•the merger of Legacy Xos into a wholly owned subsidiary of NextGen, with Legacy Xos surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NextGen, with the combined company is referred to as “Xos”;
•142,584,621 shares of Common Stock issued, including: (i) the Legacy Xos’ Common Stock, and (ii) Legacy Xos’ Preferred Stock, including the exercise and conversion of Legacy Xos’ Preferred Stock warrant (as if the Legacy Xos Preferred Stock had converted into the Legacy Xos’ Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse merger);
•the issuance and sale of 19,600,000 shares of Common Stock (PIPE investment) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $196.0 million (which excludes the sale of 2,000,000 shares in the aggregate for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million pursuant to an offering of Common Stock by the Founders of Legacy Xos). On the Closing Date, one of the PIPE Investors, Grantchester C Change, LLC., did not fund their $4.0 million committed amount under the binding Subscription Agreement.;
•the settlement of the outstanding underwriting fees incurred in connection with the initial public offering of NextGen on October 9, 2020, for which the final cash amount owed was $11.2 million;
•the settlement of the direct and incremental transaction costs incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the business combination in the amount of $44.2 million, which are recorded as reduction to additional paid-in capital;
•the recognition of contingent earn-out interests provision as liability with a fair value of $101.7 million on the day of the merger consummation; and,
•the assumption of the Public Warrants (12,499,964 units) and Private Placement Warrants (6,333,334 units) at fair value of $17.9 million on the day of merger consummation.
Contingent Earn-out Shares Liability
The Company has a contingent obligation to issue 16.2 million shares (the “Earn-out Shares”) of Common Stock and grant 261,000 restricted stock units (“Earn-out RSUs”) to certain stockholders and employees upon the achievement of certain market share price milestones within specified periods following the Business Combination on August 20, 2021.
The Earn-out Shares will be issued in tranches based on the following conditions:
i.If the volume-weighted average closing share price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 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 5.4 million 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 $14.00 per share, but less than $20.00 . If there is a change in
22
Xos, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
control where the value per share of commons stock is less than $14.00 , 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 $20.00 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 5.4 million 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 $20.00 per share, but less than $25.00 .
iii.If the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $25.00 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 5.4 million 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 valuer per share of the Company is equal to or greater than $25.00 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 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.
The Company recognized a gain on the fair value change in earn-out share liability of $6.7 million and $24.1 million in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized a gain on the fair value change in earn-out shares liability of $48.2
Note 8— Convertible Debt
Convertible Debentures
On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) for the issuance of convertible debentures, convertible into shares of Common Stock subject to certain conditions and limitations, in the principal amount of up to $35.0 million (the “Convertible Debentures”). On August 11, 2022, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued to Yorkville a Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $20.0 million. On September 21, 2022, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued to Yorkville an additional Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $15.0 million. Yorkville will use commercially reasonable efforts to convert $2.0 million during each 30 -day period beginning on September 9, 2022, provided that certain conditions are satisfied as of each such period.
The Convertible Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 6.0 %, payable at maturity, and have a maturity date of November 11, 2023, which the Company may extend by an additional three months in certain instances. The interest rate will increase to an annual rate of (i) 10.0 % upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and (ii) 7.5 % for so long as “Registration Event” (as defined in the Convertible Debentures) remains in effect in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (described below). The Convertible Debentures provide a conversion right, in which any portion of the principal amount of the debt, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into the Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $2.4733 or (ii) 97 % of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the three consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (but not lower than a certain floor price, currently set at $0.96 , that is subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debentures).

Unaudited
The Convertible Debentures may not be converted into shares of Common Stock to the extent such conversion would result in Yorkville and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 9.99 % of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided that this limitation may be waived by the investor upon not less than 65 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Convertible Debentures provide the Company, subject to certain conditions, with a redemption right pursuant to which the Company, upon 10 business days’ prior notice to Yorkville, may redeem, in whole or in part, any of the outstanding principal and interest thereon at a redemption price equal to (i) the principal amount being redeemed, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest under the applicable Convertible Debenture, and (iii) a redemption premium of 5 % of the principal amount being redeemed.
The Convertible Debentures include a monthly prepayment provision that is triggered if (i) the daily VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock is less than the floor price, currently set at $0.96 , for 5 consecutive trading days or (ii) the Company has issued pursuant to the Convertible Debentures in excess of 95 % of the Common Stock available under the Exchange Cap, as defined in the Convertible Debentures. If this provision is triggered, the Company is required to make monthly payments, beginning on the 10th calendar day after the triggering date, of up to $4.0 million of principal (subject to a redemption premium of 5 %) plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to certain conditions. The monthly prepayment requirement will cease if (i) the Company provides Yorkville a reset notice reducing the floor price, limited to no more than 85 % of closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the notice and not less than $0.50 or (ii) the daily VWAP is greater than the floor price for 3 consecutive trading days. In the event the monthly prepayment provision was triggered by the issuance in excess of 95 % of the Common Stock available under the Exchange Cap, the monthly prepayment requirement will cease on the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Exchange Cap and/or the Exchange Cap no longer applies. The monthly prepayment requirement will cease upon the payment in full of all obligations under the Note.
The Company and Yorkville entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company is required to file a registration statement registering the resale by Yorkville of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures. The Company filed the registration statement on September 8, 2022 and received notice of effectiveness on September 19, 2022.
The Company accounts for the convertible debt in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which the Convertible Debentures were 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 classified the Convertible Debentures as a non-current liability given a maturity date of greater than one year.
The Company received proceeds, net of a 2 % original issuance discount, of $34.3 million from Yorkville. Debt issuance costs of $(0.3 ) million were recorded at inception of the debentures. Debt discount and issuance costs are amortized through the maturity date of the debenture using the effective interest rate method.
The Convertible Debentures will not be included in the computation of either basic or diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in Note 17 - Net (Loss) Income per Share. This financial instrument is not included in basic EPS because it does not represent participating securities. Further, the Convertible Debentures are not included in diluted EPS because the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022; thus, including these financial instruments would have an antidilutive effect on EPS.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a principal balance of $34.8 million outstanding, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, recorded in other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $0.1 million. The Company recorded accrued interest expense of $0.2 million in other income (expense), net related to the Convertible Debentures as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022,Yorkville converted $0.3 million of principal and $15,000 of accrued and unpaid interest into 201,671 shares of Common Stock.
Convertible Promissory Note
On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Aljomaih Automotive Co. (“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 to Aljomaih $20.0 million in principal amount of a convertible promissory note (the “Original Note”). 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 Purchase Agreement includes an option to issue and sell additional convertible notes in a principal amount of up to an additional $20.0 million, upon the mutual consent of both parties by November 30, 2022, on terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith.
The Note 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 Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in the Note) or the Company has received the requisite approval from its stockholders, the number of Interest Shares to be issued will be calculated based on the 10 -day; otherwise, the number of Interest Shares to be issued will be based on the Nasdaq Minimum Price. The conversion price for the Note will initially be equal to $2.3817 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.
The Note may not be converted into shares of Common Stock and Interest Shares may not be issued to the extent (i) such conversion or issuance would result in the investor having beneficial ownership of more than 19.99 % of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) the aggregate number of shares issued would exceed the Authorized Share Cap (as defined in the Note).
The Note also includes an optional prepayment 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 prepay 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 classified the Note as a non-current liability given a maturity date of greater than one year.
The Company received proceeds of $20.0 million from Aljomaih. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million were recorded at inception of the Note. Debt issuance costs are amortized through the maturity date of the Note using the effective interest rate method.
The Note will not be included in the computation of either basic or diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in Note 17 - Net (Loss) Income 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 the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022; thus, including these financial instruments would have an antidilutive effect on EPS.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a principal balance of $20.0 million outstanding, net of unamortized debt and issuance costs of $0.1 million. Amortization of debt issuance costs, recorded in other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $7,000 . The Company recorded accrued interest expense of $0.3 million in other income (expense), net related to the Note as of September 30, 2022.

Voting Rights: Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).
Preferred Stock: The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares and as may be permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series. In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
Legacy Xos’ Preferred Stock
During the fourth quarter of 2020, Legacy Xos executed a financing round and issued shares of preferred stock (the “Series A Financing’’). The Series A Financing included the authorization of 25,794,475 shares of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock in classes A through A-10. The shares of Class A Legacy Xos Preferred Stock were allocated to investors who contributed new money to Legacy Xos, while the shares of Class A-1 through A-10 Legacy Xos Preferred Stock were issued in exchange to convertible note holders. As part of this raise, 1,411,764 shares of Class A Legacy Xos Preferred Stock and one warrant exercisable for 319,411 shares of Class A Legacy Xos Preferred Stock were issued for aggregate cash proceeds of $9.6 million and a subscription receivable for $2.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Legacy Xos issued an additional 3,739,846 shares of Class A Legacy Xos Preferred Stock raising $31.8 million in cash proceeds, and the conversion of the SAFE agreement (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) issued to Elemental Excelerator (the “SAFE Note”).
As part of this transaction, Legacy Xos converted $21.5 million of convertible notes and $2.5 million in accrued interest into 21,570,308 shares of Class A-1 through A-10 Legacy Xos Preferred Stock. These exchanges from convertible notes into shares of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock included transactions with both related and unrelated parties (refer to Note 14). The differences between the total carrying value of the converted notes held by third parties, and the fair value of the issued shares of Legacy Xos Preferred stock, was recorded as realized loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations.
We have determined the fair value of the issued shares of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock in connection with the note conversion using market rates experienced in other non-related party transactions, through the issuance of shares of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock. As some of the converted third-party notes have voting rights and others do not, the fair value of non-voting shares were reduced by 3 %.
Concurrent with the Business Combination, outstanding shares of Legacy Xos Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with Yorkville, whereby the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $125.0 million of shares of its Common Stock at its request any time during the 36 months following the execution of the SEPA, subject to certain conditions. The Company expects to use any net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
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 purchase agreement, upon execution of the purchase agreement, the Company issued 18,582 shares of Common Stock to Yorkville.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not to effect an advance under the SEPA, without the advance mutual consent of both the Company and Yorkville, until the earliest of the date (i) all Convertible Debentures have been repaid or converted into Common Stock or (ii) Yorkville no longer has any right or ability to convert any portion of the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock (collectively, the “Consent Termination Date”). Yorkville agreed to extend the term set forth in the SEPA for a number of days equal to the number of days between the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Consent Termination Date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 1,809,515 4.3 120.7 million.
Note 11— Derivative Instruments
Public and Private Placement Warrants
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 18,613,299 Public Warrants and 219,999 Private Placement Warrants outstanding, with fair values of $2.3 million and $27,000 , respectively.
The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire on August 20, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants became exercisable; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). A registration statement was filed with the SEC covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Company will 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, requires 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.
Redemption of Warrants for cash when the price per Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 :
Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described above with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
•in whole and not in part;
•at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;
•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder; and
•if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders (the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

The Company will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of Warrants for Common Stock when the price per share equals or exceeds $10.00 :
Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (including both Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants):
•in whole and not in part;
•at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Common Stock;
•if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and
•if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
The “fair market value” of Common Stock shall mean the average reported last sale price of Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.
In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. The Warrants may also expire worthless.

Note 16— Income Taxes
The effective tax rate during each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 0 %, respectively. The effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was (0.01 )% and 0 %, respectively. State taxes coupled with losses not benefited resulted in an effective tax rate, below the statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The Company recognizes tax benefits related to positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its tax returns, only if the positions are "more-likely-than-not" sustainable. 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the taxing authorities of various states. The tax periods 2018 through 2021 remain open in most jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in any federal or state jurisdiction.
At September 30, 2022, 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, length of carryback and carryforward periods, as well as 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; and accordingly, for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against net US deferred tax assets.

Note 18— 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, investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, accounts payable, other current liabilities, public and private placement warrants, and the contingent earn-out shares liability. The fair value of cash and accounts receivable 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. Derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for all periods presented. 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
XOS’ MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information which Xos’ management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in this Report. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022, as amended and supplemented by other SEC filings, including this Report and future SEC filings. 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 under the section entitled “Risk Factors”. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Xos 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.
Overview
We are a leading technology company which provides fleet services, software solutions, and manufactures 100% battery-electric Class 5 to Class 8 commercial vehicles. We facilitate the transition of fleets from internal combustion engine vehicles to zero-emission vehicles with proprietary technology suited to the commercial use case. We also provide a range of services to facilitate the transition of fleets to electric vehicles, including charging infrastructure, vehicle maintenance, financing and service.
Our X-Platform (our proprietary, purpose-built vehicle chassis platform) and X-Pack (our proprietary battery system) provide modular features that allow us to accommodate a wide range of last-mile applications and enable us to offer clients a lower total cost of ownership compared to many of our peers. The X-Platform and X-Pack are available for purchase as part of the Xos vehicle. The X-Platform and X-Pack were both 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). In addition to a competitive vehicle purchase price, our technology can also drive savings throughout ownership through increased vehicle uptime, greater payload capacity and reduced service and maintenance expense. Ninety percent of vehicles in our targeted segments operate on routes under 200 miles per shift (referred to as “last-mile” routes). Vehicles that fulfill these predictable last-mile routes generally return to base hubs on a daily basis. We believe that such vehicles are ideal candidates for electrification as operators are able to connect the vehicles to dedicated charging infrastructure at return-to-base hubs. Our modular and cost-effective vehicles have been on the road and in customers’ hands since 2018, further validating the durability of satisfaction with our vehicles. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 211 vehicles and 6 powertrains. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold 3 vehicles and 9 powertrains.
Our Fleet-as-a-Service product facilitates the transition from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles and provides fleet operators with a comprehensive set of solutions and products (including, but not limited to, Energy Services, service and maintenance, vehicle telematics, OTA updates and financing) to transition to and to operate an electric fleet. This product offering will combine traditionally disaggregated services into a bundled service package, thus reducing the cost and friction associated with electrifying commercial fleets. Services to be offered in our Fleet-as-a-Service offerings include our proprietary technologies and in-house services and offerings from our industry partners. Our Fleet-as-a-Service offering includes (i) Energy Services (on-site vehicle charging infrastructure as well as our proprietary mobile charging unit Xos HubTM); (ii) service and maintenance (provided by our internal maintenance team and industry partners); (iii) replacement parts; (iv) financing via our external partners; (v) risk mitigation products (e.g., GAP insurance and warranties); and (vi) our telematics unit, the Xosphere Intelligence Platform. Fleet-as-a-Service is expected to increase the lifetime revenue of each vehicle sold by us. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we have generated $26.8 million in revenue (or 97% of revenue) from vehicle sales and Fleet-as-a-Service and $1.0 million from ancillary revenue (or 3% of revenue). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated $1.7 million (or 100% of revenue) from vehicle sales.
40
We believe our growth in the coming years is supported by the strong secular tailwinds of an increased focus on the impact of climate change and the growth of e-commerce and last-mile delivery. Commercial trucks are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases per capita in the transportation industry. 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. Simultaneously, e-commerce continues to grow rapidly and has been accelerated by changes in consumer purchasing behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the increased regulation relating to commercial vehicles, the launch of sustainability initiatives from leading financial and corporate institutions and the rapid growth of last-mile logistics will fuel accelerated adoption of our products worldwide. In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act passed this year expands significantly federal support for green energy initiatives.
We expect our operating expenditures will increase in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
•continue to invest in servicing our growing portfolio of vehicles on the road including account management, maintenance and service technicians and the Xosphere Intelligence Platform;
•continue to invest in research and development and further develop and commercialize our core proprietary technologies, including our Xos Hub (charging solution) and Xosphere Intelligence Platform (fleet-as-a-service platform);
•continue to build out our supply chain team as well as additional battery and vehicle Flex assembly lines to bolster manufacturing capacity and meet demand targets, and to adjust to macroeconomic changes, including supply chain shortages;
•increase our investment in marketing and advertising, sales and distribution infrastructure to accelerate the growth in sales of our products and services;
•continue to build out finance operations to maintain and improve financial controls, financial planning and risk management;
•invest in operations functions including IT, administration and human resources to maintain and improve our operational systems, processes and procedures;
•obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio including patents, trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights; and
•further invest in infrastructure to operate in accordance with public company standards and guidelines.
Recent Developments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we conducted a reduction in force to reduce costs, streamline our organizational structure and drive operational efficiencies. The plan included total workforce reductions of approximately 16% of our employees, reorganizing certain functions and reallocating resources to continue to focus on key strategic initiatives and unit deliveries.
Business Combination
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 transfer by way of continuation and deregistration of NextGen from the Cayman Islands and the continuation and domestication of NextGen as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Merger, NextGen completed the Domestication, Merger Sub merged with and into Xos Fleet, Inc. (which was formerly known as Xos, Inc.), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Xos Fleet, Inc. was to be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of NextGen, and NextGen changed its name to “Xos, Inc.” Xos Fleet, Inc. is the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, and Xos’ financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC.
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, NextGen has been treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. The most significant change in the successor’s future reported financial position and results is an increase in cash by $216.7 million, net of transaction costs and redemptions. Total non-recurring transaction costs was approximately $55.4 million.
41
As a consequence of the completion of the Business Combination, we became the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company with ticker “XOS”, which has required us and will continue to require us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We have incurred and expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
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 Fleet-as-a-Service offering. 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 our operations through commercialization and production with proceeds from the Business Combination as well as additional subsequent financing transactions, including potentially asset-based lending and/or receivable financing. 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. Global economic conditions have been worsening, with disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the effects of COVID-19, military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, inflation and otherwise. If these conditions persist and deepen, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or our liquidity could otherwise be impacted. 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.
Customer Demand and Deployment
While we have sold hundreds of our vehicles to our existing customers, have agreements with future customers and have received interest from other potential customers, our ability to deploy more of our units and services will remain a key indicator of our success. This includes the ability of our customers to receive and deploy their trucks in active use, which is affected by charging infrastructure deployment. We expect that the sales of our vehicles and services to our existing and future customers will be an important indicator of our performance. Our operational focus is to increase delivery volume and begin delivering gross margin positive units by the end of the second half of 2023, which includes taking action to increase prices.
Supply Chain Management
As described more fully below, there are certain areas in our supply chain management that have been disrupted due to global economic conditions and the prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to find alternative solutions to meet customer demands will affect our financial performance.
Global economic conditions, which the COVID-19 pandemic and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine have contributed to, have impacted our ability to source certain of our critical inventory items. The series of restrictions imposed and the speed and nature of the recovery in response to the pandemic has placed a burden on our supply chain management, including but not limited to the following areas:
•Semiconductor chip shortage: The global silicon semiconductor industry has experienced a shortage in supply and difficulties in its ability to meet customer demand. This shortage has led to an increase in lead-times of production of semiconductor chips and components since the beginning of 2020.
•Battery cells: The battery cell industry is facing a shortage in supply which is causing suppliers to limit customer allocations.
•Supply limitation on vehicle bodies and aluminum: Vehicle body suppliers are currently experiencing elevated pricing or a shortage of key materials such as aluminum.
Additionally, recent geopolitical events, such as the recent military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, may increase the severity of supply chain disruptions and further hinder our ability to source inventory for our vehicles. The conflict continues to
42
evolve and its ultimate impact on the Company is uncertain, but a prolonged conflict may have a material negative impact to our business, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.
Despite supply chain disruptions, we have continued to source inventory for our vehicles and our purchasing team has been working with vendors to find alternative solutions to areas where there are supply chain constraints. Where appropriate and critical, we have placed orders in advance of projected need to try and offset disruptions. While we are working to minimize the impact of these supply limitations, we cannot be certain that all inventory will be able to be delivered in time for production plans.
Tightness in supply availability could lead to previously unforeseen cost and delivery pressures on certain material and logistical costs in 2022. As the Company accelerates execution of its strategic plans, we will endeavor to be strategic in our cost action plans, including working with various vendors and service providers to provide us cost-effective arrangements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xos and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Legacy Xos and Xos Services. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
To date, we have primarily generated revenues from the sale of electric stepvan and stripped chassis vehicles and battery systems and our fleet-as-a service product offerings. Our stripped chassis is our vehicle offering that comprises our X-Platform electric vehicle base and X-Pack 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. In addition, we offer a full suite of service offerings including Energy Services, service and maintenance, telematics and financing.
Revenue consists of product sales, inclusive of shipping and handling charges, net of estimates for customer allowances. 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. 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.
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. 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 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), allocated to cost of goods sold.
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 obsolete and on-hand inventory in excess of forecasted demand.
43
We are continuing to undertake efforts to find more cost-effective vendors and sources of parts, streamline our manufacturing operation by focusing on production in our Byrdstown, Tennessee facility, reducing the manufacturing time for our vehicles and optimizing our design and engineering to lower our overall cost of production. Direct labor and overhead costs relate primarily to expenses incurred through our third-party manufacturing partners. We expect these expenses to increase in future periods as production volume increases to meet expected growth in customer demand.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist 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 as G&A expenses. G&A expenses also include 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), allocated to G&A.
We expect our G&A to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the design and development of our vehicles and battery systems, which include:
•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;
•Fees paid to third parties such as consultants and contractors for engineering and computer-aided design (“CAD”) work on vehicle designs and other third-party services; and
•Payroll expense for employees primarily engaged in R&D activities, including allocation of stock-based compensation expense.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses related to our marketing of vehicles and brand initiatives, which includes:
•Web design, marketing and promotional items, and consultants who assist in the marketing of the Company.
•Payroll expense for employees primarily engaged in sales and marketing activities, including allocation of stock-based compensation expense.
•Travel expenses of our sales force who are primarily responsible for introducing our platform and offerings to potential customers.
•Depreciation expense on property and equipment related to sales and marketing 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), allocated to sales and marketing.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net primarily includes interest income from our investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, interest paid on our equipment leases and interest expense related to our financing obligations, including the amortization for debt discount and issuance costs.
44
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
Change in fair value of derivative instruments relates to common stock warrant liability assumed as part of the Business Combination and the conversion feature on the convertible notes issued in prior years. 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.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Earn-out Interests Liability
The contingent earn-out interest 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 $10.7 million, from $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $11.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily driven by an increase in unit sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 84 stepvans and 4 powertrains, compared to 3 powertrains during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Our total revenues increased by $26.1 million, from $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $27.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily driven by an increase in unit sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold 211 stepvans and 6 powertrains, compared to 3 stepvans and 9 powertrain during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased by $21.4 million, from $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $21.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the increase in our product revenues and increases of (i) $3.5 million in inventory reserves and associated write-downs of excess and obsolete inventories with no such comparable reserves or write-downs during the three months ended September 30, 2021, (ii) $1.9 million in unfavorable physical inventory count and other adjustments and (iii) $16.0 million in direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other direct and indirect costs.
Cost of goods sold increased by $45.2 million, from $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $46.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold is directly attributable to the increase in our product revenues and increases of (i) $5.8 million in inventory reserves and write-downs of excess and obsolete inventories with no such comparable reserves write-downs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and (ii) $39.4 million in direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other direct and indirect costs.
The increase in direct labor encompasses both employee and subcontractor labor costs. The direct labor costs are primarily attributable to an increased headcount and the temporary labor used to manufacture and fulfill current and future orders. Additionally, the use of our contract manufacturing partners to assist in our chassis production line has increased direct labor costs. The increase in direct material costs, is due to limited supplier contract agreements necessary to get competitive pricing
46
for raw materials. As production increases and we order materials in larger quantities, we expect to have supply contract agreements that decrease the costs of raw materials. A significant portion of the overhead costs incurred include 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 are still incurred when we experience a reduction in production volume. In the near term, we plan to increase production activities, expecting fixed and semi-fixed overhead costs to be absorbed through the production of our batteries and chassis.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 25%, from $7.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $9.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022, attributable to increase of (i) $1.4 million in personnel costs driven general and administrative functions necessary to support our business growth, (ii) $0.9 million in insurance costs driven by overall coverage increase and the amortization expense of directors & officers (“D&O”) insurance, (iii) $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense due to growth in business activities and (iv) $0.1 million in net other expense categories. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in facilities expenses due to the allocation of overhead costs to cost of goods sold.
General and administrative expenses increased by $15.2 million, or 97%, from $15.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $31.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, attributable to increases of (i) $7.0 million in headcount and personnel cost for supply chain, sales, legal, accounting, information technology and general and administrative functions necessary to support our business growth, (ii) $4.8 million in insurance costs driven by overall coverage increase and the amortization expense of D&O insurance, (iii) $2.0 million in consulting and professional services expenses related to the implementation of our new ERP system and financial processes, (iv) $0.5 million in investment for equipment and technology driven by an increase in our headcount and (v) $1.3 million in other operating expenses, including travel, depreciation and other costs. These increases were offset by a $0.4 million decrease in facilities expenses due to the allocation of overhead costs to cost of goods sold.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased by $3.3 million, from $5.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $8.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The growth was primarily due to increases of (i) $3.0 million in allocation of personnel costs driven by higher headcount in engineering, including the allocation of stock-based compensation expense and (ii) $0.3 million in net other costs, driven by equipment and material purchases used solely for research and development purposes.
Research and development expenses increased by $14.6 million, or 149%, from $9.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $24.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The growth was primarily due to increases of (i) $10.4 million in allocation of personnel costs driven by higher headcount in engineering, including the allocation of stock-based compensation expense and (ii) $4.2 million in net other costs, driven by equipment and material purchases used solely for research and development purposes.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense increased by $1.0 million, from $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The growth was primarily due to increases of $1.5 million in allocation of personnel costs driven by higher headcount, including the allocation of stock-based compensation expense. This increase was offset by a $0.5 million decrease in consulting fees, public relations costs, participation in tradeshows and general marketing efforts.
Sales and marketing expense increased by $5.7 million, from $2.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $7.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The growth was primarily due to increases of (i) $5.0 million in allocation of personnel costs driven by higher headcount, including the allocation of stock-based compensation expense and (ii) $0.7 million related to consulting fees, public relations costs, participation in tradeshows and general marketing efforts to enhance brand recognition in the first two quarters of 2022.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased by $0.6 million, from $0.1 million of net expense in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.6 million of net expense in the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is primarily driven by interest expense, as well as amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs on convertible debt of $0.5 million.
47
Additionally, interest income related to marketable securities, available for sale increased by $0.3 million, offset by accretion/amortization expense of $0.2 million.
Other income (expense), net increased by $0.7 million, from $0.1 million of expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.8 million of expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is driven by an increase in interest expense of $0.8 million primarily related to convertible debt, including amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs on convertible debt. Additionally, interest income related to marketable securities, available for sale increased by $1.4 million, offset by accretion/amortization expense of $1.0 million and realized losses from sales of $0.2 million.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
The gain on the change in fair value of derivative instruments increased by $0.8 million, or 77%, from $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and decreased by $0.9 million, or 14%, from $6.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 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 gain on the change in fair value of contingent earn-out interests liability was $6.7 million and $24.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively compared to $48.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the change in our stock price and the resulting valuation at the respective reporting period.
Write-off of Subscription Receivable
In 2020, the Company had a promissory note receivable in the amount of $364,000 due from the Company’s COO, Giordano Sordoni. The note was utilized to exercise options granted to him by the Company. The principal balance of the note and the associated accrued interest was subsequently forgiven during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No similar transaction occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Realized Loss on Debt Extinguishment
This represents the loss on the conversion of convertible debt into preferred shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No similar transaction occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Provision for income taxes
The Company recorded income tax provision of $0 during each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded income tax provision of $3,000 and $0 during the during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As an early stage growth company, the net losses and cash outflows we have incurred since inception are consistent with our strategy and budget. We will continue to incur net losses and cash outflows in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to expand our research and development activities with respect to our vehicles and battery systems, scale our operations to meet anticipated demand and establish our Fleet-as-a-Service product offering. Our ability to access 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 economic conditions have been worsening, with disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the effects of COVID-19, military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, inflation and otherwise. If these conditions persist and deepen, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or our liquidity could otherwise be impacted. 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.
We consummated the Business Combination, which resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $216.7 million. In December 2020, we had the initial closing of our Series A Financing, and in the first quarter of 2021, we completed the Series A Financing, including the conversion of all our convertible notes into shares of Legacy Xos preferred stock. Prior to our Series
48
A Financing in December 2020 and the Business Combination, we had financed our operations primarily from the sales of convertible notes. As of September 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) and investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale aggregating $106.1 million. We expect additional debt financing through asset-based lending and/or receivable financing in the future. Our short-term uses of cash are for working capital and to pay interest on our debt and our long-term uses of cash are for working capital and to pay the principal of our indebtedness.
We believe that our existing cash resources, are sufficient to support planned operations for the next 12 months. Additionally, on March 23, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with Yorkville, whereby the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $125.0 million of its shares of common stock at our request during the 36 months following the execution of the SEPA, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2022, remaining commitment of $120.7 million was available under the SEPA, provided that, pursuant to the issuance of convertible debentures to Yorkville described below, we shall not effect any advance under the SEPA without the prior mutual consent of Yorkville and the Company until the earliest of the date (i) all such convertible debentures have been repaid or converted into common stock or (ii) Yorkville no longer has any right or ability to convert any portion of the convertible debentures into common stock. In connection with the foregoing, the term set forth in the SEPA will be extended for a corresponding number of days. We used the net proceeds received from sales of common stock pursuant to the SEPA to date for working capital and general corporate purposes and expects similar use of proceeds going forward.
Further, on August 11, 2022 and September 21, 2022, we issued to Yorkville convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million, with a maturity date of November 11, 2023. Also on August 11, 2022, we issued to Aljomaih a convertible promissory note (the “Original Note”) with a principal amount of $20.0 million and a maturity date of August 11, 2025, pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated August 9, 2022; the note purchase agreement includes an option for Aljomaih to purchase additional convertible notes, on terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith, in a principal amount of up to an additional $20.0 million. On September 28, 2022, the Company and Aljomaih agreed to amend and restate the Original Note to, among other things, adjust the calculation of the shares of our common stock issuable as interest (as amended and restated, the “Note”). We will use the net proceeds from the Yorkville convertible debentures and the Note for operational liquidity, working capital and general and administrative expenses.
As a result, our management believes that our current financial resources are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least 12 months past the issuance date of the financial statements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We did not have any material contractual obligations or other commitments as of September 30, 2022, other than what’s disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
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 and product warranty liability. 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, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, we were not required to comply with the rules of the SEC implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, based on our business combination date and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of
50
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. We excluded management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. We are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we are not required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC post-merger, which is December 31, 2022. We have begun the process of establishing a system of internal control to support management’s evaluation of internal control subsequent to the completed Business Combination on August 20, 2021.
Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and to assist in the effective prevention of fraud. Any inability to provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud could harm our business. Any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. As part of our process to establish an effective system of internal controls, management has identified areas of improvement in our preliminary system of internal control over financial reporting that we are working diligently to address.
If we cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over our financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could lead to a decline in our stock price. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could also subject us to sanctions and/or investigations by the SEC, the NASDAQ or other regulatory authorities. If we fail to remedy any deficiencies or maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties or stockholder litigation. In addition, failure to maintain adequate internal controls could result in financial statements that do not accurately reflect our operating results or financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, inflation, and foreign currency exchange rates, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks.
Interest Rate Risk
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We maintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable debt rate securities, including, U.S. treasuries, corporate debt, asset-backed securities, non-U.S. government and supranational bonds and certificate of deposit. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of investments in marketable debt securities, available-for-sale was $59.7 million. The primary objective of our investment activity is to maintain the safety of principal, and to provide for future liquidity requirements while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. While some investments may be securities of companies in foreign countries, all investments are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. While our intent is not to sell these investment securities prior to their stated maturities, we may choose to sell any of the securities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated capital requirements, anticipation of credit deterioration, duration management and because a security no longer meets the criteria of our investment policy. We do not use derivatives or similar instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We seek to invest in high quality investments. The weighted average rating (exclusive of cash and cash equivalents) was A as of September 30, 2022. Maturities are maintained consistent with our short-, medium- and long-term liquidity objectives.
51
The following table sets forth the impact on the fair value of our investments as of September 30, 2022 from changes in interest rates based on the weighted average duration of the debt securities in our portfolio (dollars in thousands):
| Approximate Change in Fair Value of Investments | ||||||||
| Change in Interest Rate | Increase (Decrease) | |||||||
| 2% Decrease | $ | 576 | ||||||
| 1% Decrease | $ | 288 | ||||||
| 1% Increase | $ | (288) | ||||||
| 2% Increase | $ | (576) | ||||||
Foreign Currency Risk
There was no material foreign currency risk for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Inflation and Other Risks
We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources, hazard events, and specific asset risks. The U.S. economy is experiencing broad and rapid inflation. We monitor inflation and the effects of changing prices. Inflation increases the cost of goods and services used. If the Company’s costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset these higher costs through price increases or mitigate the impact through alternative solutions. Our inability to do so may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based upon each of their evaluations, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we continued to be engaged in the process of design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting in a manner commensurate with the scale of our operations subsequent to the business combination, including the enhancement of our internal and external technical accounting resources.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
52
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 2021 Form 10-K. Except as stated below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors since the filing of the 2021 Form 10-K.
We have incurred substantial debt, which 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.
As of September 30, 2022, we had total indebtedness of approximately $64.3 million. Our substantial indebtedness may:
•limit our ability to use our cash flow or borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments or other general business purposes;
•require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments
•limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry, or our ability to take specified actions to take advantage of certain business opportunities that may be presented to us;
•result in dilution to our existing shareholders in the event the Convertible Note or the Convertible Debentures (collectivelythe “Convertible Debt”) is settled in our shares of our common stock;
•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
•increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our debt. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our debt service obligations. In the absence of such cash flows and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. If we do not make the required payments when due, either at maturity, or at applicable installment payment dates, or if we breach the agreement or become insolvent, the lender could elect to declare all amounts outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and other payments, to be immediately due and payable. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay the indebtedness. Any default under our indebtedness would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue our operations.
Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.
Our ability to make payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or any potential prepayments for the Convertible Debt, to the extent applicable, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If the assumptions underlying our cash flow guidance are incorrect, our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service the Convertible Debentures, and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or issuing additional equity, equity-linked or debt instruments on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. If we are unable to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, we may be unable to meet our debt obligations, which would materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
Conversion of the Convertible Debt may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
53
The conversion of some or all of the Convertible Debt may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures, we must deliver shares of Common Stock, and upon conversion of the Convertible Note, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation with respect to the Convertible Note in shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, any sales in the public market of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of Common Stock. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Debt may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Convertible Debt could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Convertible Debt into shares of Common Stock could depress the price of Common Stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 1, 2022, we issued 350,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock to Fitzgerald Manufacturing Partners, LLC (“Fitzgerald”) pursuant to the terms of a prior contract manufacturing agreement by and among the Company, Xos Fleet, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and Fitzgerald (the “Manufacturing Agreement”). Pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement, Fitzgerald assembles medium-commercial vehicles for the Company. The Company purchases completed vehicles from Fitzgerald at a price comprised of fixed and variable costs set forth in the Manufacturing Agreement. In addition to the cash compensation for completed vehicles, the 350,000 restricted shares of Common Stock were issued to Fitzgerald and vest pursuant to performance metrics set forth in the Manufacturing Agreement.
On August 9, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Yorkville, under which we agreed to sell and issue to Yorkville up to $35.0 million in principal amount of convertible debentures, convertible into shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations (the “Convertible Debentures”). On August 11, 2022 and September 21, 2022, we issued to Yorkville Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million, for cash proceeds of $34.3 million.
On August 9, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement with Aljomaih, for the issuance of convertible note with a principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Note”). The note purchase agreement includes an option for Aljomaih to purchase additional convertible notes, on terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith, in a principal amount of up to an additional $20.0 million. On August 11, 2022, we issued the Note to Aljomaih for cash proceeds of $20.0 million.
The issuances of securities in the above transactions were made in reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.
