The Company is also exploring platform or ecosystem dynamics through its majority interest in AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. ("AIXC"), which focuses on embodied AI infrastructure and blockchain infrastructure, intended to support potential Web3 applications, decentralized infrastructure, and digital asset-related services .

The Company's product and service line breakdown includes the FF 91 series, its flagship ultra-luxury electric crossover vehicle . The FF 91 is positioned in the E-segment / Executive Full-Size or F-segment / Full-Size luxury category, with the top Futurist Alliance configuration having a manufacturer's suggested retail price of approximately $309,000 . Since deliveries commenced in August 2023, a limited number of FF 91 vehicles have been delivered . The FX Super One series is the first multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) under the FX brand, positioned as a premium, AI-enhanced MPV . It is planned to be offered with both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and AI hybrid extended-range configurations . Pre-production of the FX Super One began in December 2025 at the FF aiFactory California manufacturing facility .

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.5 million in revenue . The Company incurred a net loss of $397.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Net cash used in operating activities was $107.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 . As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4.7 billion . The Company's total debt as of December 31, 2025, included $503.3 million funded under convertible note commitments, with a remaining unfunded commitment of $49.5 million . Additionally, investors have an option to invest an additional $467.0 million, of which $111.0 million had been funded as of December 31, 2025, with remaining optional funding of $40.5 million .

Comparing year-over-year, the Company's net loss increased from $355.8 million in 2024 to $397.1 million in 2025 . Net cash used in operating activities increased from $70.2 million in 2024 to $107.6 million in 2025 . The accumulated deficit grew from $4.3 billion in 2024 to $4.7 billion in 2025 . The Company recorded an asset impairment of $128.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, attributed to the shift in strategy from relying primarily on the FF 91 platform, the elimination of federal tax credits for electric vehicles effective September 30, 2025, and escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and potential restrictions on critical materials .

In July 2025, the Company publicly unveiled the FX Super One at a launch event in Los Angeles, reporting over 10,000 reservation deposits and expressions of customer interest . In September 2025, the Company obtained a controlling interest in AIXC through a strategic investment . In December 2025, the first FX Super One pre-production vehicle rolled off the line at the FF aiFactory California manufacturing facility .

Business Outlook

The Company expects to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and will require substantial additional financing to start the third phase of its three-phase delivery plan for the FF 91 Futurist, as well as to execute its FX strategy . The Company only recognized $0.5 million in revenue in 2025 and relies on capital from investors to support its operations . The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to meet its current obligations and is currently unable to generate cash through its at-the-market equity program or via its Registration Statement on Form S-3 due to ineligibility . The Company has limited remaining authorized share availability to generate cash through equity or equity-linked issuances .

A major growth area for the Company is its embodied AI robotics strategy, which is intended to complement its intelligent mobility ecosystem . This initiative focuses on the development and potential commercialization of robotics products that may leverage the Company's AI, sensor, and software capabilities developed for its vehicles . Initial robotics concepts have been introduced, and early-stage commercialization activities are underway . Management views embodied AI robotics as a potential extension of the Company's EAI ecosystem, connecting intelligent vehicles, an EAI brain, an open-source, open-platform framework, and a decentralized AI data factory to support long-term technology commercialization efforts . The program progressed more substantially in 2026 .

Another significant growth area is the expansion of the FX and FF 91 model lines, with an emphasis on broader market reach by introducing luxury technology from the FF 91 into future mass-production FX vehicles . The FX Super One program is preparing for production at the Ras Al Khaimah (U.A.E.) facility, contingent on funding . The Company's future FF and FX battery electric vehicles, beginning with new models from 2026, will adopt the North American Charging System (NACS) port, providing future users with direct access to more than 28,000 Tesla Superchargers across the United States, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, while maintaining access to existing CCS fast-charging networks .

The Company expects operating expenses to increase significantly, including R&D expenses, capital expenditures for manufacturing capacities, additional operating costs for production ramp-up, raw material procurement, general and administrative expenses to scale operations, and sales, marketing, and distribution expenses to build its brand and market vehicles, including the contemplated FX series . The Company's ability to become profitable depends on successfully marketing its vehicles and controlling costs . The rate at which costs and losses are incurred may increase significantly as the Company continues to develop the FF 91, seeks to execute its FX and AI strategies, develops and equips its FF aiFactory California facility, builds up inventories, and expands design, development, maintenance, servicing, and repair capabilities .

The Company's planned capital allocation includes ongoing R&D efforts for the FF 91, FF 92, and FX series . Capital expenditures are focused on building out the FF aiFactory California facility, which is expected to have an estimated annual production capacity of approximately 30,000 vehicles based on the current build-out plan . The Company also plans to lease a facility of approximately 108,000 square feet in the U.A.E. to support regional assembly and sales . The Company does not anticipate declaring any dividends for the foreseeable future, intending to retain any earnings for use in its business operations .

The Company has flagged several structural headwinds and execution risks to its growth plan. It does not have sufficient liquidity to pay outstanding obligations and will likely file for bankruptcy protection if unable to access additional capital . The Company has significant unfunded commitments, with a remaining unfunded commitment of $49.5 million from existing convertible note financing . Investors also have an option to invest an additional $467.0 million, of which $40.5 million remains optional funding . The production and delivery of the FF 91 Futurist has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant delays . Non-binding reservation deposits and other non-binding indications of interest may not convert into binding orders or sales . The Company depends on its suppliers, the majority of which are single-source suppliers, and disruptions could impair production .

Geographic, regulatory, and macro factors identified as constraints include the evolving regulatory environment in China, which may limit the Company's ability to expand, attract foreign investment, or maintain its U.S. listing . The Chinese government retains broad authority to intervene in or influence the operations of the Company's PRC subsidiaries . Fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between CNY and the U.S. Dollar, could result in foreign currency exchange losses . Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including tariffs, particularly with regard to China, may adversely impact business and operating results . The U.S. government announced higher tariffs on electric vehicles, which will be subject to a tariff rate of 100% from August 1, 2024 . The termination of federal Electric Vehicle ("EV") tax credits for vehicles purchased or leased after September 30, 2025, could reduce consumer purchasing power and slow EV adoption .

Risk Factors

The Company faces substantial risks, including insufficient liquidity to meet outstanding obligations, which could lead to bankruptcy if additional capital is not secured . The Company has an accumulated deficit of $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, and incurred a net loss of $397.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Net cash used in operating activities was $107.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Significant unfunded commitments exist, with $49.5 million remaining from existing convertible note financing and $40.5 million in optional funding from investors . Production and delivery of the FF 91 Futurist have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant delays, and non-binding pre-orders may not convert to sales . The Company relies on single-source suppliers for many components, creating supply chain vulnerability . Geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, and new tariffs, such as the 100% tariff on electric vehicles from China effective August 1, 2024, could severely impact operations . The termination of federal EV tax credits after September 30, 2025, is expected to reduce consumer demand . The Company's use of artificial intelligence technologies may not be beneficial and could lead to liability or reputational harm due to design flaws, biased data, or regulatory scrutiny . Cybersecurity risks are significant, with potential for breaches to harm reputation and operations, and the Company does not maintain standalone cybersecurity insurance coverage .

Management Priorities

Management's message to shareholders emphasizes a commitment to transparency, accountability, and long-term value creation, including share purchases by the Company's leadership. The Company's long-term strategy is centered on building an integrated Embodied Artificial Intelligence ("EAI") ecosystem that includes intelligent electric vehicles and robotics. Management views embodied AI robotics as a potential extension of the Company's EAI ecosystem, connecting intelligent vehicles, an EAI brain, an open-source, open-platform framework, and a decentralized AI data factory to support long-term technology commercialization efforts. The Company's product roadmap builds on the FF 91 platform through the planned FF 92 upgrade program and the FX Super One and reflects an increased focus on reallocating resources, manufacturing capacity, and engineering efforts toward these programs. The Company expects its broader product portfolio to better align product strategy with anticipated demand, improve capital efficiency, and support the next phase of its commercialization efforts. The Company expects to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and will require substantial additional financing to start the third phase of its three-phase delivery plan for the FF 91 Futurist, as well as to execute its FX strategy . The Company only recognized $0.5 million in revenue in 2025 . The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to meet its current obligations and is currently unable to generate cash through its at-the-market equity program or via its Registration Statement on Form S-3 due to ineligibility .
