Recent Business Highlights

  1. Achieved year end commitment to have approximately 1 gigawatt hour of installed capacity at Romeo Power’s Vernon facility.
  2. Secured a new facility in Cypress, CA enabling expansion of production and test lab capacity, positioning the Company to meet expected increase in market demand and continued technology development.
  3. Announced a collaboration to integrate Dynexus Technology’s state-of-the-art battery performance and sensor technology to further enhance Romeo Power’s industry-leading and comprehensive approach to managing battery cell safety, performance, and overall life cycle value.
  4. Improved parts availability for both battery cells and components to support production volume scale-up.
  5. Continued to strengthen our organization in key functions and added manufacturing headcount to support production growth and capabilities.

Third Quarter Financial Update

  1. Generated revenues of $5.8 million, a 753% increase over the prior year as the Company launched product shipments to the Company’s largest customer.
  2. Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2021, were $181 million, reflecting continued strong liquidity.

Management Commentary

“Romeo Power made meaningful progress during the third quarter laying additional foundation to support its growth. We strengthened manufacturing capabilities to support a key commercial launch and to prepare for the continued revenue growth we expect as market demand for our industry-leading technology increases,” said Susan Brennan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We focused the incredible energy of our entire organization to further improve processes, expertise and infrastructure required to continue establishing Romeo Power as a commercial scale provider of cutting-edge technology and products. We also entered into a collaborative relationship with Dynexus Technology, which will further enhance many facets of our business including production efficiency through cell quality management, battery monitoring and life cycle management. We believe that this collaboration will be another step to further extending the value of Romeo Power’s technology and products for our customers and end users.”

“In addition, our new, state-of-the-art facility in Cypress, CA will not only be the home for our expanded and efficient mass production lines, but it will also provide the capability to run pilot scale development for new customers and products while simultaneously producing at commercial scale for more mature programs. We will double our lab space, which is critical to providing the range of technical resources necessary to support production, validate customer programs and develop new products. We believe that we are taking the steps required to further reinforce our position in an exciting and growing market for commercial electric vehicles.”

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release may constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this press release, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, express or implied statements concerning the Romeo Power’s expected collaboration with Dynexus Technology, the expansion of production and test lab capacity at Romeo Power’s new facility in Cypress, CA, Romeo Power’s expectations regarding its future financial performance, the demand for safe, effective, affordable and sustainable EV products, Romeo Power’s ability to produce and deliver such products on a commercial scale, and Romeo Power’s expectations that its customers will adhere to contracted purchase commitments on the currently expected timeframe are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Romeo Power’s management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: Romeo Power’s ability to execute on its plans to develop and market new products and the timing of these development programs; Romeo Power’s ability to increase the scale and capacity of its manufacturing processes; Romeo Power’s estimates of the size of the markets for its products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of Romeo Power’s products; the success of other competing technologies that may become available; Romeo Power’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; Romeo Power’s potential need for and ability to secure additional capital; the performance of Romeo Power’s products and customers; potential litigation involving Romeo Power; demand for battery cells and supply shortages; the potential effects of COVID-19; and general economic and market conditions impacting demand for Romeo Power’s products. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those implied by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Romeo Power undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. “EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” has been calculated using EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, change in the fair value of warrants, a gain from extinguishment of a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, investment loss, net and derivative expense. The Company believes that both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information for investors to use in (1) evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and (2) comparing our financial performance with those of comparable companies, which may disclose similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP measures provide investors with incremental information for the evaluation of our performance after isolation of certain items deemed unrelated to our core business operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental measures to our GAAP measures of performance. When evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures computed by other companies, as the nature of the adjustments that other companies may include or exclude when calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the adjustments reflected in our measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor should these measures be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss). As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this press release.
