Xos, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue increased by 12% quarter-over-quarter

Unit deliveries increased by 21% quarter-over-quarter

Company remains on track to achieve positive gross margin at a unit level by the end of the first half of 2023

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) (“Xos” or the “Company”), a leading technology company which provides fleet service and software solutions and manufactures 100% battery-electric Class 5 to Class 8 commercial vehicles, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Recent Strategic Highlights:

  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $11.0 million, up 12% compared to the previous quarter.
  • Deliveries of 88 units in the third quarter of 2022, up 21% compared to 73 units in the previous quarter, to key customers such as Merchants Fleet and FedEx Ground operators.
  • Net loss was $23.3 million and loss from operations was $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2022; non-GAAP operating loss for the quarter was $26.6 million.
  • Expanded the offering of Xos Energy Solutions with the introduction of a suite of Xos DC Fast Chargers, and secured purchase orders from Morgan Linen, Inc. and additional fleet customers. This follows the announcement of the proprietary XosHub, the Company’s mobile charging infrastructure solution.
  • Entered a strategic partnership to expand the Company’s leasing and distribution network with NationaLease.
  • Named W.W. Williams as a pilot service provider to support Xos customers with world-class maintenance, service, and repair.
  • Unveiled a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features that will be implemented as a standard feature in Xos stepvans.
  • Decreased total cost of ownership (TCO) with extended warranty offering in partnership with National Truck Protection Co. Inc.

Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos, commented, “We are pleased to see continued strong demand for Xos vehicles. Xos achieved vehicle deliveries to key customers such as Merchants Fleet and FedEx Ground operators in 15 cities despite charging infrastructure bottlenecks, global supply chain obstacles, and macroeconomic headwinds. As our installed base grows and our vehicles season within customers’ operations, we are also seeing strong follow on order activity. Operationally, Xos has made several strategic decisions that will position us for strong growth and gross margin profitability at a unit level by the end of the first half of 2023.”

“We are making considerable progress in overcoming supply chain challenges and improving procurement and logistics costs. In addition, we are focussed on reducing direct material costs and overhead as we scale manufacturing at our principal manufacturing site in Tennessee,” said Giordano Sordoni, Chief Operating Officer of Xos. “As we realize the benefits of these advances, it will position us to see strong production volume increases.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights Compared to Second Quarter 2022:

  • Total revenue increased by approximately 12% to $11.0 million, driven by higher deliveries during the period, compared to $9.8 million in the prior quarter.
  • Gross Margin loss was $10.8 million, versus $5.1 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin loss was $5.5 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior quarter
  • Net Loss was $23.3 million and loss from operations was $31.2 million, compared to Net Loss of $9.5 million and loss from operations of $27.8 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss was $26.6 million, compared to $25.8 million in the prior quarter.
  • Inventories increased to $66.3 million, compared to $62.2 million during the prior quarter as the Company prepared to increase deliveries.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable debt securities, available-for-sale were $109.2 million as of September 30, 2022.

Second Half 2022 Outlook:

Based on current business conditions, business trends and other factors, the Company is reaffirming its previously provided outlook for the second half of 2022 as follows:

Second Half 2022
Revenue$18.75 to $25.60 million
Unit Deliveries150 to 200 units
Non-GAAP Operating Loss$43 to $52 million

Kingsley Afemikhe, Chief Financial Officer of Xos, added, “Unit deliveries and revenue were in line with our expectations, as we saw meaningful increases during the quarter on a sequential basis underpinned by continued strong demand for our products and energy solutions. We are reaffirming our second half 2022 outlook and remain on track for deliveries to fall within our previously provided range. Our gross margin was impacted by a number of non-cash adjustments in the quarter that we believe are transitory as we scale and bolster our systems.”

Our balance sheet remains strong, with proceeds from the recently issued convertible securities, which provided us with the capital that we need as we scale production in 2023. We expect our cash used from operations to fall further in the fourth quarter as we become more operationally efficient, and utilize working capital more efficiently.”

The outlook provided above is based on management beliefs and expectations as of the date of this press release. This outlook assumes that no business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded in the quarter. The results are based on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements”. Actual results may vary from the outlook above and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information in this press release has been presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Xos’ consolidated financial results. Xos’ non-GAAP financial measures include Operating Cash Flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), Non-GAAP Operating Loss and Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin, which are defined below.

“Operating Cash Flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow)” is defined as net cash used in operating activities minus purchase of property and equipment.

“Non-GAAP Operating Loss” is defined as operating loss adjusted for stock-based compensation and inventory write-downs.

“Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin” is defined as gross (loss) margin minus inventory write-downs and physical inventory and other adjustments.

Xos believes that the use of Operating Cash Flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), Non-GAAP Operating Loss and Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin reflects additional means of evaluating Xos’ ongoing operating results and trends. The presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that Xos’ future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. It is important to note Xos’ computation of Operating Cash Flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), Non-GAAP Operating Loss and Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because not all companies may calculate Operating Cash Flow less CapEx (Free Cash Flow), Non-GAAP Operating Loss and Non-GAAP Gross (Loss) Margin in the same fashion. 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 Xos’ operating performance. A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in this press release.

This release includes forward-looking outlook for Non-GAAP Operating Loss. The Company is not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of the outlook for Non-GAAP Operating Loss because the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure that would be necessary for such reconciliations, including (a) stock-based compensation, (b) total operating expenses and (c) other nonrecurring expenses that cannot reasonably be estimated in advance. These adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond Xos’ control and as a result Xos is also unable to predict their probable significance. Therefore, because management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results in accordance with GAAP, it is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures included in its outlook for the second half of 2022.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to: (i) Xos’ ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (ii) Xos’ limited operating history, (iii) cost increases and delays in production due to supply chain shortages in the components needed for the production of Xos’ vehicle chassis and battery system, (iv) Xos’ ability to meet production milestones and fulfill backlog orders, (v) changes in the industries in which Xos operates, (vi) variations in operating performance across competitors, (vii) changes in laws and regulations affecting Xos’ business, (viii) Xos’ ability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections, (ix) Xos’ ability to retain key personnel and hire additional personnel, particularly in light of current and potential labor shortages, (x) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive electric vehicle industry, (xi) Xos’ ability to service its indebtedness, and (xii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Xos. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by, and you should carefully consider, the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Xos’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022 and Xos’ other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting Xos’ Investors Relations website at https://investors.xostrucks.com/ or the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

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 Xos assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Xos does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
