Faraday Future Announces Masterplan to Achieve Sustainability and Further Stability, While Aiming to Reduce Dependence on External Funding Sources

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE) (“Faraday Future”, “FF” or “Company”), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced a masterplan to support Company stability and help achieve sustainability and profitability, while aiming to reduce dependence on external funding sources.

While additional details will be provided at the upcoming Investor Day, which will follow the Company’s third-quarter 2023 quarterly filing, highlights are included here:

• Primary near-term focuses are on appropriate operational cost structures and organization, including meaningfully reducing people cost and other general and administrative expenses that are not directly related to FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance production, as well as cost reductions for FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance materials and production, which would be supported by insourcing capital-intensive systems where feasible.
• Cease entering into new convertible note commitments with structure similar to existing convertible notes and pause the Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) program.
• Executing on this masterplan will support achieving cash-flow positive and profitability.

As previously shared, in August 2023, FF entered a revenue generation phase, and established a closed loop operation from user acquisition and delivery to user operations. There have been significant changes in FF’s business foundation, including the addition of a new management team that is passionate about the Company and collectively demonstrates the strongest capabilities in the history of FF. The Company is continuing to take steps to support its strategic objectives, including capacity ramp-up for the FF 91 2.0 vehicle.

FF continues its forward momentum and has undergone a fundamental transformation compared to the end of 2022. The Company achieved two major milestones: (1) completed all compliance procedures required for mass production and delivery in the United States and (2) commenced delivering cars to users. Achieving these two significant milestones changes the very nature of the Company, shifting it from a task and project driven operation to an operation focused on continuity and stability and, ultimately, profitability. Producing and delivering our vehicles requires highly motivated and passionately engaged employees, uniting to pull the Company in one direction.

Users can preorder an FF 91 2.0 vehicle via the FF Intelligent App or through our website (English): https://www.ff.com/us/preorder/ or (Chinese): https://www.ff.com/cn/preorder/
