Los Angeles, CA (March 27, 2025) -- Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (Nasdaq: FFAI) ("FF", "Faraday Future", or the "Company"), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and full year 2024, highlighted by securing two rounds of funding commitments in September and December 2024, a total of more than $70 million, to support its FF and FX strategic developments. FF also made significant progress in FX product development with two prototype mules shipped to the U.S. in November 2024, and the recent change of its ticker symbol to "FFAI" reflecting its focus on AI technology.
During 2024, the Company implemented significant cost reduction measures across its operations, including a substantial decrease in personnel-related costs, professional services expenses, and general expenses such as rent and insurance. These initiatives contributed to a 75% reduction in year-over-year general and administrative expenses compared to 2023, while maintaining operational effectiveness.
RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER 2024
· Net Loss from Operations: $30.3 million, a 55.3% improvement from $67.8 million in Q4 2023.
· Operating Cash Outflow: decreased by 51.3% to $18.4 million, compared to $37.8 million in Q4 2023.

As a result, financial stability improved significantly relative to the end of the first half of 2024.
RESULTS FOR FULL YEAR 2024

· Net Loss from Operations: $149.7 million, a 47.7% reduction from $286.1 million in 2023, reflecting ongoing efforts to control R&D and G&A expenses.
· Operating Cash Outflow: $70.2 million, a 75% reduction compared to $278.2 million in 2023, highlighting FF’s continued focus on cost control and operational efficiency.
· Cost of Revenue: increased by $41.4 million year-over-year, driven by depreciation expenses that were $29.3 million greater than in 2023, as additional equipment was placed into service to enhance production capabilities, particularly in paint and body .
· R&D Expenses: decreased by $106.8 million year-over-year, primarily driven by:
- $53.6 million reduction due to salary and headcount reductions because many R&D personnel were reassigned to production roles.
- $35.2 million reduction in engineering, design, and testing costs.
- $14.9 million gain from the settlement of prior year accrued R&D expenses with Palantir.
· Sales and Marketing Expenses: decreased by $13.6 million year-over-year, primarily due to:
- $7.7 million reduction in compensation expense.
- $5.3 million total reduction in general expenses and advertising expenses.
· General and Administrative Expenses: decreased by $39.7 million year-over-year, primarily driven by:
- $23.2 million reduction in professional service fees.
- $10.7 million reduction in insurance costs, primarily related to directors’ and officers’ insurance.
· Non-Operating Loss: $206.4 million, primarily driven by accounting-related, non-operating and non-cash items:
- $188.3 million valuation true-up related to existing and settled convertible notes and warrants.
- $16.6 million in interest expense.
Overall, FF saw a clear trend of improving financial stability. In both Q3 and Q4 of 2024, financing cash inflows exceeded operating cash outflows. This positive cash flow dynamic, combined with a 75% year-over-year reduction in operating cash burn and meaningful cost reductions across R&D and SG&A, reflects the tangible progress FF has made in aligning cost structure with operational priorities, while positioning it for long-term scalability and financial resilience.

The fourth quarter of 2024 represented continued progress for FF with significant advancements in its dual-brand strategy. New capital raised in 2024 will help fund critical initiatives in 2025, including ongoing production and deliveries of the FF 91 2.0 while simultaneously advancing development of the potential mass-market FX lineup. This approach strengthens FF's position in the premium AIEV segment while accelerating FF's potential expansion into the broader consumer market through its FX brand.
In 2024, FF saw significant progress in strengthening its financial position, which has been critical to advancing FF’s strategic goals. On September 4, 2024, Nasdaq officially confirmed that FF had regained compliance with its bid price requirement in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the periodic filing requirement in Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). This achievement followed a series of strategic actions to address previously identified deficiencies. Restoring compliance reflects the resilience and determination of our team, along with our unwavering commitment to transparency and strong governance. It also strengthens investor confidence in our ability to deliver on our long-term strategic vision.
FX BRAND DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT STRATEGY
FF unveiled the FX Super One concept in January 2025, an innovative first-class AI-MPV, expanding a potential product lineup alongside the previously announced FX 5 and FX 6 concept models. Targeting distinct price segments, the FX 5 (target base price of $20,000-$30,000) and FX 6 (target base price of $30,000-$50,000) could feature two dual powertrain options: range-extended AIEV and battery-electric AIEV. With aggressive development timelines, FX aims to have one of these models roll off the line by the end of 2025, contingent on securing appropriate funding and finalizing necessary agreements.
The Company has achieved significant milestones in FX product development, with two Super One camouflaged prototype mules shipped to the U.S. in November 2024, marking the commencement of comprehensive development and testing operations on U.S. soil. These prototype mules will undergo rigorous validation across multiple systems, including ADAS capabilities, autonomous driving functions, propulsion performance, intelligent cabin features, and holistic user experience evaluation.
The FX brand strategy aims to seize what the Company has identified as "four blue ocean markets" in the U.S. AIEV market: range-extended vehicles, intelligent vehicles defined as mobile living spaces, AIEV’s priced between $20,000 to $40,000, and luxury AI-MPVs.
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMERCIAL MILESTONES
Earlier in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Faraday X (FX), signed agreements with top original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) relating to two planned products. These collaborations aim to jointly advance plans for the development, testing, regulatory compliance, supply chain, and production planning of two potential models.
FF entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Grow Fandor, an IP commercialization company. As FF's exclusive licensee for ecosystem products, Grow Fandor will manage the design, development, sales, and operations for certain ecosystem products bearing the FF and FX brands. This collaboration represents a potential new growth driver without requiring FF to contribute any resources for development.
The FF 91 2.0 program demonstrated continued momentum with successful deliveries to high-profile customers, including entrepreneur and community leader Luke Hans in January 2025, and influential fashion model and designer Suede Brooks in December 2024.
AI STRATEGY AND INNOVATION
FF changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol to "FFAI" on March 10, 2025, and hosted an "FF Open AI Day" on March 16, 2025, reflecting the Company's unwavering commitment to its core AI strategy. The Company is making significant progress in developing its All-AI Mobility Ecosystem, including Personalized AI and Bespoke AI initiatives. The AI-driven in-vehicle interaction system, built on large-model architecture, could be integrated into the FF 91 2.0 and into potential FX models.
MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS
In manufacturing, the Company made significant strides in improving efficiency, quality, and scalability. In 2024, FF used two newly manufactured vehicles for crash tests to validate its self-produced body-in-white. The successful testing validated FF’s self-manufacturing ability and helped to ensure the safety, durability, and performance of FF’s vehicles. The Company’s Hanford, CA factory made several key improvements in 2024, including: reduced production cycle time by 40%; improved Customer Craftsmanship Audit (CCA) scores by 50%; and enhanced quality control with in-process quality gates, increasing quality checks by 200% times. These advancements reflect FF’s unwavering focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that every FF 91 meets the highest standards of excellence.
UAE Factory Progress was another critical milestone in 2024, as FF expands its footprint and prepares for potential future growth. FF reserved a 108,000 sq. ft. facility in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), marking a significant step in our international strategy and also held the first of multiple face-to-face meetings with RAKEZ to advance the completion of the facility, ensuring alignment with local stakeholders. FF has also completed the equipment supplier selection phase, awarded Phase 1 equipment procurement to a UAE-based supplier, and introduced program management tools and a project charter, securing stakeholder approval for the estimated UAE program schedule.
These steps lay the foundation for a facility that could support our long-term growth and global ambitions. The Company continued to improve manufacturing efficiency by announcing plans to insource the manufacturing of its FF 91 2.0 vehicle seats at its Hanford, CA factory. This initiative represents FF's ongoing efforts to optimize operations, reduce costs, and improve product quality. In December 2024, FF released new in-car software updates for the FF 91, enhancing both the in-vehicle infotainment experience and user-focused control features, including improved navigation, expanded voice controls, and enhanced display interfaces.
LEADERSHIP APPOINTMENTS
The Company has also made key personnel appointments and strengthened the leadership team to drive the Company and the FX strategy: Tin Mok was appointed as Head of FF UAE, overseeing our operations in the region; Koti Meka was named Chief Financial Officer; Aaron Ma became Acting Head of EV R&D; Dr. Lei Gu was named as President of the FX Global EV R&D Center; Xiao (Max) Ma was named as CEO of FX; and in 2025, Jerry Wang was named as President of FF. These leaders bring deep expertise and vision to their roles, supporting FF’s execution of its strategies with precision and innovation.
2025 OUTLOOK

In the meantime, the Company will continue to deliver the FF 91 2.0 to serve the newest spire users and co-creators.
As global trade dynamics continue to evolve, including the recent announced U.S. automotive tariff, FX’s flexible and forward-driven model positions the Company to respond swiftly to regulatory changes while optimizing cost efficiency and supply chain agility.
FF has also committed to initiate AI Hybrid Extended-Range Electric Powertrain development which could be applied to potential FX models pre-production. The Company recently announced the establishment of Future AIHER AI Hybrid Extended-Range Electric Powertrain Systems Inc. (“Future AIHER”). This newly formed wholly owned indirect subsidiary of FF is dedicated to the design and development of AI-driven range extender systems and solutions for Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs).
Additionally, FF is focused on optimizing funding costs—ensuring the Company secures the capital it needs without excessive dilution. FF is also committed to maintaining Nasdaq compliance without a reverse stock split.
The completion of the Company’s first-generation smart cabin, powered by AI Agent technology, could be fully deployed in the FF 91 and prepared for integration into its potential FX series models, by the end of 2025.
FF is taking a forward-looking approach to self-driving technology, focusing on: preliminary research into end-to-end autonomous driving using large-scale AI models; and defining the autonomous driving technology roadmap for the FX series and next-generation models.
In summary, 2025 will be a pivotal year for FF. With a strong focus on driving technological innovation, and maintaining financial discipline, the Company is positioning itself for long-term growth and success in the EV market. And above all, fighting to enhance stockholder value for both institutional and retail investors.
