NEWARK, Calif., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID), maker of the world's most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The earnings presentation is available on its investor relations website (https://ir.lucidmotors.com).

The Company produced 5,500 vehicles and delivered 3,093 vehicles in the first quarter of 2026. During the quarter, a seat supplier issue was identified that significantly affected Lucid Gravity deliveries in February. We addressed these issues, and sales performance in March increased by 14% compared to March 2025. Lucid is taking further steps to align production with anticipated deliveries and customer demand.

Lucid reported first quarter revenue of $282.5 million and ended the quarter with approximately $3.2 billion in total liquidity. On a pro forma basis for the April capital raise and expanded DDTL, total liquidity at quarter-end would have been approximately $4.7 billion.

"First quarter results demonstrated the strength of our technology and product portfolio. A supplier issue resolved during the quarter had an impact, but January and March deliveries were ahead of the same periods in the prior year," said Marc Winterhoff, Interim Chief Executive Officer at Lucid. "We expanded strategic partnerships, including with Uber, and continued to advance our autonomy roadmap. We are executing with focus across operations, aligning production and delivery with customer demand. With the announcement of Silvio Napoli as our next Chief Executive Officer, we are entering Lucid's next growth phase with a clear mandate: to accelerate toward financial self-sufficiency while delivering industry-leading innovation and customer experience."

"We strengthened our balance sheet with over $1 billion in new capital and expanded strategic partnerships that enhance long-term revenue visibility," said Taoufiq Boussaid, Chief Financial Officer at Lucid. "We ended the quarter with elevated inventory that we expect to convert to revenue and cash as deliveries normalize, while maintaining alignment between production and sales cadence. Our focus is on disciplined execution — driving structural cost improvements, managing capital efficiently, and improving operating leverage as we scale. These actions build the foundation for profitable growth as we scale production, expand our customer base, and capture the commercial opportunity ahead."

Lucid will host a conference call for analysts and investors at 2:30 P.M. PT / 5:30 P.M. ET on May 5, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when understanding Lucid's operating performance. In addition, other companies, including companies in Lucid's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is presented below.
