Overview Company Overview We are a California-based, global, shared, intelligent mobility ecosystem company founded in 2014 with a vision to disrupt the automotive industry. Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbols “FFAI” and “FFAIW,” respectively. With headquarters in the greater Gardena, California area, we design and engineer next-generation intelligent, connected electric vehicles. We manufacture vehicles at the FF ieFactory California production facility in Hanford, California. We also have additional engineering, sales, and operational capabilities in China and are exploring potential manufacturing opportunities 85 Table of Contents there through a joint venture or other arrangements. Additionally, we have established operations in the United Arab Emirates, including an entity to manage assembly and sales support for FF 91 series vehicles and a facility in Ras Al Khaimah intended to support future FX Super One production, further expanding our presence in the Middle East as part of our “third pole” strategy. Since our founding, we have created major innovations in technology and products and followed a user-centered business model. We believe these innovations will enable us to set new standards in luxury and performance that will redefine the future of intelligent mobility. Our near-term 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 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 the escalating U.S. - China trade tensions and potential restrictions on critical materials resulted in the Company recording an asset impairment of $130.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. We expect our wider product portfolio to better align our product strategy with anticipated demand, improve capital efficiency, and support the next phase of our commercialization efforts. In September 2025, we consolidated AIXC, a newly acquired entity with operations in the life sciences sector. AIXC’s common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “AIXC.” While AIXC is currently immaterial to our operating results, we intend to use it as a platform for future strategic initiatives, including potential blockchain and crypto-related ventures.

The Company and executives plan to engage with the SEC to explain why enforcement action is not warranted. • In August 2025, the Company regained eligibility to access its At-The-Market (“ATM”) offering program and file new registration statements on Form S-3, following the timely filing of its Q2 2025 Form 10-Q. This development provides greater flexibility in capital raising, enabling the Company to access the public equity markets more efficiently without relying solely on convertible debt financing or the more burdensome Form S-1. The reinstatement of Form S-3 eligibility also streamlines the registration process for future equity issuances, reduces regulatory filing complexity, and supports the Company’s strategic capital planning initiatives. • In August 2025, FF highlighted its continued inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index and growing institutional ownership, with major investors increasing holdings relative to 2024. • In August 2025, the Company disclosed that Founder and Global Co-CEO Yueting Jia and Global President Jerry Wang executed purchases of Company common stock under pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, demonstrating alignment with stockholder interests. • In August 2025, additional share purchases by Company leadership, including CFO Koti Meka and FX CEO Xiao (Max) Ma, were scheduled pursuant to their existing 10b5-1 plans adopted in June 2025. • In September 2025, the Company announced it successfully completed Nasdaq’s one-year compliance monitoring period and regained full compliance, returning to normal listed-company status. • In September 2025, all core proposals—other than a pending name change—were approved at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders. The investment structure allows Faraday Future to focus on advancing its EV business while capturing upside from the new crypto-focused operations without additional dilution to existing stockholders. Crypto - Stock Exchange Compliance & Stockholder and Corporate Actions • In August 2025, the Company disclosed it is exploring a C10 ETF concept tied to the newly announced index. Corporate Governance • In February 2025, the consolidated class action lawsuit filed in Delaware was dismissed with prejudice, resolving all litigation of this type. • In March 2025, Jerry Wang was promoted to President of the Company. At the time, he reported to the sole Global CEO. Following the April 2025 appointment of Yueting Jia as Global Co-CEO (see below), Mr. Wang now reports to both Global Co-CEOs as part of the Company’s current dual-CEO leadership structure. His role continues to focus on overseeing day-to-day business operations and driving alignment across global functions. • In April 2025, Yueting Jia, our founder, was promoted to Global Co-Chief Executive Officer (“Global Co-CEO”). Mr. Jia will co-lead the Company alongside Matthias Aydt, our other Global Co-CEO, with a focus on advancing user ecosystem development, supply chain management, EV R&D, finance, legal, and our China and Middle East operations. The appointment aligns with our broader strategic initiatives to enhance execution efficiency, strengthen our AI mobility leadership, and drive long-term shareholder value. • In April 2025, we confirmed that we will not pursue a reverse stock split unless required to maintain Nasdaq compliance. • In May 2025, the Company formalized YT Jia’s appointment as Global Co-CEO under a new “Stockholders First” equity incentive plan, which ties his long-term compensation to improvements in market capitalization and share price performance. • In August 2025, the Board approved compensation adjustments for Chief Financial Officer Koti Meka: his base salary increased from $350,000 to $380,000 effective August 16, 2025; he was granted additional restricted stock units valued at $400,000 based on the August 16, 2025 closing price; and he will receive a $30,000 cash bonus payable on August 31, 2025. 92 Table of Contents • In August 2025, the Board approved temporary governance adjustments during the SEC investigation, excluding Global Co-CEO Yueting Jia from oversight of finance, legal, accounting, and public reporting functions. These responsibilities were consolidated under Global Co-CEO Matthias Aydt until the investigation concludes. • In August 2025, the Company reported formation of a wholly owned subsidiary (FFAI Crypto Treasury and Bridging Holdings Inc.) for the crypto business and outlined a structure intended to isolate risk and enhance transparency (e.g., third-party custodians, on-chain verification). • In September 2025, Global Co-CEO Yueting Jia completed the second tranche of stock purchases under his Rule 10b5-1 plan, investing approximately $180,000 of his signing bonus to demonstrate confidence in FF’s long-term strategy and stockholder alignment. • In September 2025, Global Co-CEO Yueting Jia completed his third common stock purchase under his Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, investing approximately $560,000, representing the after-tax portion of his signing bonus, to demonstrate his confidence in the Company’s long-term strategy and alignment with stockholders. • In September 2025, the Board approved the foundational steps for the spin-off entity and delegated management authority to oversee its implementation and compliance planning in alignment with U.S. regulatory standards for digital assets. • In September 2025, the Company announced that Jerry Wang will serve as Co-CEO of AIXC, Koti Meka as CFO, and YT Jia as Chief Advisor. Faraday Future will hold nomination rights for two of five directors, which may increase to four of seven seats pending stockholder approval, ensuring strategic alignment and operational oversight within the new spin-off entity. • In September 2025, the transaction marked a key step in implementing the Company’s integrated strategy to connect its automotive and digital-asset platforms, strengthening alignment between operational leadership and the emerging CXC10 ecosystem. • In October 2025, Faraday X AIEV Hong Kong Holding Limited (“FXHK”) has completed its name change to GlobeX Al Hong Kong Holding Limited (“GXHK”). • In November 2025, AIXC held a special meeting of stockholders that approved the Subscription Agreement and related share issuances, enabling the Company to obtain a majority ownership position in AIXC and secure the right to designate a majority of the reconstituted board of directors. • In November 2025, following this stockholder approval, AIXC filed a Certificate of Amendment to change its corporate name to AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc., formalizing the Company’s controlling interest in the renamed entity as a strategic platform for its AI and crypto ecosystem initiatives. Earnings Release Correction • On November 13, 2025, the Company issued an earnings releasethat included certain preliminary financial information for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Following issuance of the release, additional adjustments were identified during the completion of the quarter-end close and review process. As a result, certain amounts in the earnings release (related to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Ca sh Flows) differed from the financial information presented in this Form 10-Q. The financial information contained in this Form 10-Q reflects the Company’s final, reviewed results for the period and should be relied upon as the authoritative presentation of the Company’s financial performance. Supply Chain Exposure and Tariff Risk As of September 30, 2025, a significant portion of the Company’s direct materials were sourced from China, exposing the Company to elevated U.S. import tariffs on electric-vehicle components and related inputs. While cost of goods sold was not materially affected for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to limited production and use of existing inventory, management increased the inventory reserve by $ 10.6 million and $ 14.4 million, respectively, including a component for anticipated tariffs. As production scales or if tariff rates broaden or rise, tariff-driven input costs could materially impact unit economics and may necessitate pricing, sourcing, or additional reserve actions. Segment Information We have three operating segments—AI Electric Vehicle (“AIEV”), Life Sciences, and Crypto —but only our AIEV segment meets the criteria for separate reporting under ASC 280. Through August 12, 2025, our two Global Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Global Co-CEOs”) acted jointly as Co-Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) and regularly evaluated our financial performance using consolidated information at the total-company level, including consolidated loss from operations, cash flows, liquidity, and strategic initiatives. Effective August 13, 2025, in connection with temporary governance adjustments approved by the Board, Mr. Matthias Aydt serves as our sole CODM for purposes of ASC 280. 93 Table of Contents Management has identified Loss from operations, as presented in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, as the primary measure used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of the business and allocate resources. This measure is critical for a going concern that must carefully manage its cash outflows, particularly given that the timing of its cash inflows is influenced by external investor decisions. We define “significant segment expense” as controllable operating costs that are regularly provided to and reviewed by management, which include the expenses presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as Cost of revenue, Research and development, Sales and marketing, and General and administrative. Management closely tracks its expenditure on these key expense categories through regular reviews of cash balances, near‑term cash flow projections, monthly management reports, and project management reports. The CODM, work in close collaboration with our business leaders to establish critical operational targets, set project timelines, and adjust spending plans. These leaders are responsible for implementing its strategic plans and revising targets and deadlines based on continuous internal communications and review meetings, thereby ensuring that any deviations from target spending or project timelines are promptly addressed. This rigorous oversight supports our strategic objectives to focus business activities on production, sales, and leasing of its FF 91 vehicles, and the planned launch of the FX Series vehicles. In addition, the Company defines “other segment items” as other operating expense adjustments that arise from lease or other impairments, gains and losses on the sale or disposition of its fixed assets, or other market‑driven factors that impact Loss from operations presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and are not part of our recurring and controllable operating costs . By segregating these “Other Segment Items” from “loss from operations,” we provide investors with a clear view of the expenses that management can directly influence versus those driven by external factors. During the third quarter of 2025, we consolidated AIXC, a variable interest entity that operates a legacy life-sciences business. The acquisition closed on September 29, 2025, and AIXC’s operating results were included in our consolidated financial statements for only the final two days of the quarter. The revenue and operating loss attributable to AIXC were immaterial and did not meet the quantitative thresholds under ASC 280 for separate segment reporting. In addition, we intend to use AIXC as the platform for our future crypto-related initiatives; however, no crypto operations were active during the quarter, and our prior crypto assets were liquidated to fund the transaction. (For further information see Note 3 - Business Acquisition - Consolidation of AIXC , and Note 1 - Nature of Business and Organization ). Other potentially reportable items, such as separate automotive sales and leasing revenues (currently immaterial), geographic information, depreciation expense, interest expense, or other segment-specific activities, are not separately reviewed by the CODMs. Accordingly, these detailed segment components do not influence the CODM's decision-making or resource allocation processes and thus are not separately disclosed. Emerging Growth Company Status Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies. Any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. We expect to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although we may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Components of Our Results of Operations Key Factors Affecting Operating Results Our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities but also pose risks and challenges including those discussed below and, in the section, titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Form 10-K, filed on March 31, 2025. 94 Table of Contents Production and Operations We expect to continue to incur significant operating costs that will impact our future profitability, including R&D expenses as we introduce new models and improve existing models; capital expenditures for the expansion of our manufacturing capacities; additional operating costs and expenses for production ramp-up; raw material procurement costs; general and administrative expenses as we scale our operations; interest expense from debt financing activities; and selling and distribution expenses as we builds our brand and markets our vehicles. We may incur significant costs in connection with our services as we deliver at scale the FF 91 Futurist, including servicing and warranty costs. Our ability to become profitable in the future will depend on our ability to successfully market our vehicles and control our costs. Through September 30, 2025 , we have sold eight and leased eleven vehicles. As a result, we will require substantial additional capital to develop products and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Until we can generate sufficient revenue from product sales, we will fund our ongoing operations through a combination of various funding and financing alternatives, including equipment financing of the FF ieFactory California, secured syndicated debt financing, convertible notes, working capital loans, and equity offerings, among other options. The particular funding mechanisms, terms, timing, and amounts are dependent on our assessment of opportunities available in the marketplace and the circumstances of the business at the relevant time. Any delays in the successful completion of its FF ieFactory California will impact our ability to generate revenue. For additional discussion of the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, see Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern in the notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and for further details on liquidity, please see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below. Revenue and Cost of Revenue Automotive Sales Revenue We began the production of our FF 91 Futurist in March 2023 and started making deliveries to customers in August 2023 and have sold two vehicle during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Automotive sales revenue includes revenues related to deliveries of new vehicles, and specific other features and services including home charger, charger installation, twenty-four-seven roadside assistance, OTA software updates, internet connectivity and destination fees. We recognize revenue on automotive sales upon delivery to the customer, which is when control of vehicle transfers. Payments are typically received at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business and as indicated in the sales contract. OTA software updates are provisioned upon transfer of control of a vehicle and recognized over time on a straight-line basis as we have a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services to the customer. For obligations related to automotive sales, we estimate the standalone selling price by considering costs used to develop and deliver the good or service, third-party pricing of similar options and other information that may be available. The transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of our performance obligations. Vehicle contracts do not contain a significant financing component. Revenue from immaterial promises is combined with the vehicle performance obligation and recognized when the product has been transferred. We accrue costs to transfer these immaterial goods and services regardless of whether they have been transferred. In certain circumstances, we provide customers with a residual value guarantee which may or may not be exercised in the future. The impact of such residual value guarantees was immaterial to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 . We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, co-creator consulting agreements with our customers under which customers share feedback, driving data, ideas, experiences with our engineers, social media posts, and other promotional activities in exchange for specified fees. We evaluate the economic substance of these co-creation agreements to determine whether they should be combined with customer sales contracts under the contract combination guidance in ASC 606. When the contracts are economically linked, we account for them as a single arrangement. Under this approach, the cash inflows from the customer and the cash outflows from us are netted and treated as a single transaction. The resulting net amount is recorded as marketing expense. In situations where the net amount is less than the vehicle’s sale price or the contractual lease payment, the difference between the net amount and the sale price or lease payment is recognized as revenue. 95 Table of Contents Automotive Leasing Revenue Revenue from Operating Leasing Program We have outstanding leases under our vehicle operating leasing program in the U.S. Qualifying customers are permitted to lease a vehicle for up to 36 months. At the end of the lease term, customers are generally required to return the vehicles to us. We account for these leasing transactions as operating leases. We evaluate whether a lease contract should be combined with other agreements — such as co-creation arrangements when leasing contracts are negotiated together and are economically interdependent. We record leasing revenues as automotive leasing revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, and we record the depreciation of these vehicles as cost of automotive leasing revenue. As of September 30, 2025, deferred lease-related upfront payments which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual terms of the individual leases were immaterial. Our policy is to exclude taxes collected from a customer from the transaction price of automotive contracts. Revenue from Sales-Type Leasing Program We have outstanding leases accounted for as sales-type leases under accounting standards codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Customers have the right to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which is usually 36 months. A customer qualifies under this program if the purchase option is reasonably certain to be exercised, and we therefore expect the customer to take title to the vehicle at the end of the lease term after making all contractual payments. We recognize all revenue and costs associated with the sales-type lease as automotive leasing revenue and automotive leasing cost of revenue, respectively, upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer when collectability of lease payments is probable at lease commencement. If collectability of lease payments is not probable at commencement, we recognize the lease payments as deposit liability and do not derecognize the leased vehicle until such point that collectability of lease payments becomes probable. We evaluate whether a lease contract should be combined with other agreements — such as co-creation arrangements when leasing contracts are negotiated together and are economically interdependent. Customer Deposits Our customers may reserve a vehicle and preorder certain services by making a customer deposit, which is fully refundable at any time. Refundable deposits, for vehicle reservations and services, received from customers prior to an executed vehicle purchase agreement are recorded as customer deposits (Accrued expenses and other current liabilities). Customer deposits were $4.1 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. When vehicle purchase agreements are executed, the consideration for the vehicle and any accompanying products and services must be paid in advance prior to our transfer of the products or services. Such advance payments are considered non-refundable, and we defer revenue related to any products or services that are not yet transferred. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had received approximately 9,900 non-binding, non-refundable B2B pre-orders and 515 B2C non-binding refundable reservations, totaling 10,415 reserved vehicles. By comparison, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had received 299 B2C reservations. The increase in total reservations was primarily driven by the launch of the FX Super One vehicle and the expansion of co-creator and reservation programs designed to drive early engagement and demand. The co-creator program leverages early supporters, channel partners, and social media influencers to generate awareness, promote product visibility, and build community participation around the brand and its new product offerings with a particular focus on driving B2C orders. The Company enters into co-creation collaborations of varying value and service scope with B2B pre-order customers. Fees paid to non-influencer participants are recorded as co-creation expenses, while fees paid to influencer marketing agencies are classified either as contra-revenue or as marketing-related general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the arrangement. Co-creator costs are recorded as marketing expenses when the fair value of services provided under the co-creation agreement substantiates the payment; however, any portion of the payment that exceeds the fair value of those services is treated as a reduction of revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue related to products and services w as insignificant a s of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Cost of Automotive Sales Revenue Cost of automotive sales revenue includes direct and indirect materials, labor costs, manufacturing overhead, including depreciation costs of tooling and machinery, shipping and logistic costs, vehicle connectivity costs, and reserves for estimated warranty expenses. Cost of automotive sales revenues also includes adjustments to warranty expense. 96 Table of Contents Cost of Automotive Leasing Program Cost of automotive leasing revenue includes the depreciation of operating lease vehicles, cost of goods sold associated with direct sales-type leases and warranty expense related to leased vehicles. Warranties We provide a manufacturer’s warranty on all vehicles sold. The warranty covers the rectification of reported defects via repair, replacement, or adjustment of faulty parts or components. The warranty does not cover any item that fails due to normal wear and tear. This assurance-type warranty does not create a performance obligation separate from the vehicle. Management tracks warranty claims by vehicle ID, owner, and date. As we continue to manufacture and sell more vehicles we will reassess and evaluate our warranty claims for purposes of our warranty accrual. Operating Expenses Research and Development Research and development activities represent a significant part of our business. Our R&D efforts focus on the design and development of our electric vehicles and continuing to prepare our prototype electric vehicles to exceed industry standards for compliance, innovation, and performance. R&D expenses consist of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for our employees focused on R&D activities, other related costs, depreciation, R&D services provided by co-creators, and an allocation of overhead. While we have we substantially have completed R&D activities related to the FF 91, we expect R&D expenses to increase in the near future as we increases in R&D expenses related to FF 92 and FX Series vehicles. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for our employees focused on sales and marketing, costs associated with sales and marketing activities, marketing services provided by co-creators, and an allocation of overhead. Marketing activities are those related to introducing our brand, our electric vehicles, and our electric vehicle prototypes to the market. We expect Sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase as we bring our electric vehicles (in particular, FX Super One and FF 92) to market and seek to generate additional sales. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees associated with administrative services such as legal, human resources, information technology, accounting and finance, other related costs, and legal loss contingency expenses, which are our estimates of future legal settlements. These expenses also include certain third-party consulting services, certain facilities costs, and any corporate overhead costs not allocated to other expense categories. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we continue to grow our business. Asset Impairment We recorded impairments in operating expenses related to deposits for future goods and services, property, plant, and equipment based on tangible-asset valuations, and lease right-of-use assets associated with facility exits and changes in our long-term operating plans. Charges associated with impairment of assets are recognized within operating expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. When we identify impairment indicators under ASC 360—such as changes in regulatory incentives, evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, market-based indicators of our enterprise value, or updates to our product and manufacturing roadmap—we evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets and, when necessary, record impairment charges to reduce their carrying values to estimated fair value. In the third quarter of 2025, this process resulted in impairment charges on certain long-lived assets, including tooling, machinery, equipment and related assets at vendor sites and at the FF ieFactory California facility in Hanford, California. 97 Table of Contents Loss from Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment Loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment relates to the abandonment of certain FF 91 Futurist program construction in progress assets, primarily vendor tooling, machinery, and equipment, due to the redesign of the related FF 91 components and implementation of our cost reduction program. Charges associated with disposals are recognized within operating expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Non-operating Expenses Change in Fair Value of (Related Party and Third Party) Notes Payable, Warrant Liabilities, and Derivatives Call Options Change in fair value measurements consists of the losses and gains as a result of fair value measurements of certain notes payable, warrant liabilities, and other instruments which we record at fair value. Loss on Settlement of (Related Party and Third Party) Notes Payable Loss on settlement of notes payable consists of losses resulting from the settlement of notes payable as part of our ongoing financing activities and losses incurred on modifications of our notes payable that qualify as an extinguishment pursuant to ASC 470-50, Debt–Modifications and Extinguishments . Interest Expense (Related Party and Third Party) Interest expense primarily consists of interest on outstanding notes payable not marked to fair value, capital leases, certain supplier payables, and vendor payables in trust. Other Income / (Expense), net Other income, net consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other expenses such as bank fees and late charges. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are generated by revaluation of debt and the settlements of invoices denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. We expect other expense to fluctuate as we continue to transact internationally. In addition, this line item includes realized and unrealized gains or losses related to digital asset transactions, including amounts earned or impaired from crypto digital asset disposals, and any staking income. While such activity is currently immaterial, we expect to execute our crypto-related strategy through AIXC following the completion of AIXC’s shareholder meeting and once we have established majority control of its board of directors. At that point, to the extent crypto operations generate revenue and m eet the recognition criteria under ASC 606, such revenue will be reflected in our consolidated results. If crypto operations subsequently meet the quantitative thresholds under ASC 280, they may be evaluated for separate segment disclosure in future periods. 98 Table of Contents Results of Operations Consolidated Statements of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2025 2024 Revenue $ 37 $ 9 Cost of revenue 34,256 21,453 Gross profit (34,219) (21,444) Operating expenses Research and development 6,640 5,180 Sales and marketing 6,380 2,601 General and administrative 19,690 8,278 Settlement on accrued research and development expenses — (14,935) Asset impairment 138,483 57 Loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment 1,395 2,582 Total operating expenses 172,588 3,763 Loss from operations (206,807) (25,207) Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options 31,341 8,287 Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options 2,144 654 Loss on settlement of notes payable (46,517) (59,128) Interest expense (2,244) (1,442) Related party interest expense — (1,212) Other (loss) income, net (99) 361 Loss before income taxes (222,182) (77,687) Income tax expense (5) 1 Net loss $ (222,187) $ (77,686) 99 Table of Contents Consolidated Statements of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2025 2024 Revenue $ 407 $ 304 Cost of revenue 82,549 63,110 Gross profit (82,142) (62,806) Operating expenses Research and development 18,063 15,185 Sales and marketing 10,882 6,857 General and administrative 47,461 39,327 Settlement on accrued research and development expenses — (14,935) Asset impairment 138,483 7,673 Loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment 1,715 2,511 Total operating expenses 216,604 56,618 Loss from operations (298,746) (119,424) Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options 36,721 28,927 Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options (3,283) 315 Loss on settlement of notes payable (84,895) (117,509) Loss on settlement of related party notes payable (3,040) (14,295) Interest expense (5,358) (5,386) Related party interest expense — (7,812) Other income, net 1,475 599 Loss before income taxes (357,126) (234,585) Income tax expense (15) (3) Net loss $ (357,141) $ (234,588) Revenue (3-Month Overview) Three Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Revenue $ 37 $ 9 $ 28 311.1 % Revenue increased by $28 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase primarily reflects higher automotive sales revenue, which was $37 thousand in the current quarter that represents sales price of the vehicle sold in excess of co-creation expenses incurred in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . We recognized no automotive leasing revenue in the current quarter compared to $9 thousand in the prior‑year quarter. One vehicle was sold and delivered under a co‑creation arrangement with a promotional partner during the current quarter. Revenue (9-Month Overview) Nine Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Revenue $ 407 $ 304 $ 103 33.9 % Revenue increase d by $103 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. During the current year we recognized $37 thousand in automotive sales and $370 thousand in leasing revenue. During the comparative prior year we recognized $312 thousand in automotive sales, and adjusted leasing revenue downwards by $8 thousand. The amount of automotive sales recognized represents sales price of the vehicle sold in excess of co-creation expenses incurred in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Two vehicles were delivered in 2025 versus three in 2024. 100 Table of Contents Cost of Revenue (3-Month Overview) Three Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Cost of revenue $ 34,256 $ 21,453 $ 12,803 59.7 % Cost of revenue increased by $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase reflects higher depreciation as additional tooling, machinery, and equipment were placed into service, along with higher facility lease and equipment-financing costs to support production readiness at our California manufacturing facility and an overseas pilot facility in the UAE. In addition, the Company recorded a significant increase in inventory reserves to address aging or excess materials and components that no longer align with current build plans. Changes in tariff rates on certain imported parts also contributed to these reserves by rendering select legacy components uneconomic to use. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded approximately $7.1 million of additions to the inventory reserve, compared to an immaterial net change in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The inventory reserve increased from approximately $2.8 million at September 30, 2024 to approximately $14.2 million at September 30, 2025.

In addition, the Company recorded a net increase in inventory reserves to address aging or excess materials and components that no longer align with current build plans. Changes in tariff rates on certain imported parts contributed to these reserve set-ups by rendering select legacy components uneconomic to use.

The increase was primarily driven by a $5.8 million rise in operating consumables and equipment rental—reflecting higher costs for prototype parts, vehicle purchases for testing, and services supporting development of the FX vehicle platform—as well as $2.4 million of lower cost allocations to cost of sales in the current period. These increases were partially offset by a $4.2 million reduction in IT-related R&D expenses and a $0.6 million decrease in wages and related benefits. Throughout 2025, R&D activities have primarily supported the FX Super One program through final validation, U.S. homologation testing, and production readiness efforts. Development work has included vehicle performance and durability testing, integration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), supplier coordination, and prototype tooling. The Company also provided engineering support for technical preparations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to align manufacturing standards and production planning under its global bridge strategy.

Sales and Marketing (3-Month Overview) Three Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Sales and marketing $ 6,380 $ 2,601 $ 3,779 145.3 % Sales and marketing expense increased by $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.9 million rise in marketing expenses related to the launch and promotion of the FX Super One, which debuted in July. This increase was largely attributable to campaign activities executed by our U.S. marketing team, including expanded influencer and social media initiatives, promotional content development, and digital media placements aimed at building awareness and customer engagement around the new vehicle. Additionally, marketing costs rose in our Middle East operations due to increased event-based outreach and brand activation efforts designed to support entry into new international markets. The remaining $0.8 million increase was due to higher wages and benefits, primarily reflecting staffing to support expanded marketing efforts during the launch period. These investments reflect the Company’s strategic focus on product visibility, brand development, and customer engagement as it transitions further into the commercialization phase of the FX product line. The marketing strategy emphasizes building awareness and credibility through curated events, limited-scale experiential programs, and earned-media exposure rather than large-scale paid advertising. Although headcount within the sales and marketing function remains lean, the Company continues to leverage its Co-Creation marketing model, which integrates key opinion leaders, early adopters, and strategic partners into launch activities and promotional campaigns. This approach has expanded brand visibility and contributed to increased customer reservations while maintaining disciplined spending. The Company expects to continue utilizing high-impact events and digital platforms to deepen market penetration and strengthen global brand positioning as FX Super One deliveries approach. 102 Table of Contents Sales and Marketing (9-Month Overview) Nine Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Sales and marketing $ 10,882 $ 6,857 $ 4,025 58.7 % Sales and marketing expense increased by $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.6 million rise in marketing expenses related to the launch and promotion of the FX Super One, including digital campaigns, content development, influencer engagement, and event activations primarily led by the U.S. team. Additional costs were incurred from expanded marketing activities in the Middle East to support brand visibility in international markets. Compensation costs increased by $0.9 million, reflecting selective additions to sales and marketing personnel and other related payroll costs. These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in rent and related expense. Throughout 2025, the Company has executed an efficient and event-driven marketing strategy centered on its Co-Creation model, which engages industry leaders, influencers, and early adopters to promote the brand and its vehicles. Using this approach, the Company expanded its global presence through high-impact events, including the FX Super One global launch in Los Angeles, the Pebble Beach showcase, and the 919 Futurist Day & Stockholders’ Community Day. These initiatives strengthened brand awareness and customer engagement while maintaining disciplined marketing spend and optimized resource allocation. The Company also advanced its international marketing footprint, particularly in the Middle East, through localized brand activations, regional events, and customer outreach aligned with future market entry plans.

The increase was primarily driven by a $3.7 million rise in wages and benefit costs, due to higher headcount in both the U.S. and China, as well as a legal bonus paid in accordance with a contractual agreement. Professional fees increased by $3.1 million, reflecting higher legal expenses and service costs under the FFGP agreement. In addition, operating consumables and equipment rentals increased by $2.7 million, and a $1.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization. These increases reflect ongoing support for corporate operations and strategic initiatives during the period. This net increase primarily reflects higher corporate activity during the period, including expanded legal, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and professional service costs. Throughout the quarter, the Company supported ongoing regulatory and governance matters, including costs related to the SEC and temporary governance adjustments. In addition, higher staffing levels in both the U.S. and China contributed to increased wages and benefits, while consulting and operational support costs rose in connection with strategic initiatives and global administrative coordination. These increases were partially offset by continued efficiency efforts, such as vendor consolidation and administrative process streamlining, which are expected to moderate future expense growth.

The increase was primarily driven by a $8.5 million rise in wages and benefit costs due to increased headcount and a egal bonus paid under a contractual agreement. Professional fees increased by $4.4 million, reflecting higher legal expenses, audit and advisory fees, SOX compliance support, and services provided under the FFGP agreement. These 103 Table of Contents increases were partially offset by a $4.4 million reduction in insurance costs, primarily due to lower directors and officers (D&O) insurance premiums and other corporate insurance savings. Throughout 2025, the Company continued to experience elevated general and administrative costs as it managed increased legal, compliance, and governance requirements. These included expenses related to the SEC investigation, implementation of temporary governance adjustments, and enhanced Sarbanes-Oxley compliance activities. Additional professional service costs were incurred for legal, audit, and advisory support, as well as consulting fees associated with strategic and operational initiatives. Staffing levels remained higher year-over-year in both the U.S. and China to support these functions, contributing to increased wages and benefits. While efficiency programs such as vendor consolidation, office space optimization, and administrative streamlining helped partially offset these increases, overall G&A expenses remained higher due to the Company’s ongoing regulatory, compliance, and governance commitments. 104 Table of Contents Asset Impairment (3-Month Overview) Three Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Asset impairment $ 138,483 $ 57 $ 138,426 NM* NM = not meaningful During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an $138.5 million impairment loss related to long-lived assets, which based on the findings of an independent third-party tangible asset valuation study, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8.5 million and $130.0 million, related to Deposits and Other Current Assets and Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net , respectively. The impairment charge in the current year quarterly period was primarily attributable to certain tooling, machinery, and equipment located at vendor sites and at the Company’s FF ieFactory California production facility in Hanford, California, that are no longer fully supported under updated operational plans and near-term production forecasts, as the Company shifts focus from FF 91 program activities to the planned FF 92 upgrade program and to reorganization and retooling in preparation for the commercial production of the FX Super One. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $0.1 million impairment loss related to lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. This loss was associated with our decision to exit a leased store facility, a research facility, and an administrative office in China. These actions were part of broader efforts to negotiate early lease terminations with landlords and streamline our global footprint.

The 2025 day-one loss was offset by gain from subsequent fair value remeasurement of $58.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The downward re-measurement was primarily driven by decreases in the Company’s stock price at the end of the period compared to preceding three month. The increase in gains from re-measurement in the total monetary impact was attributable to the following factors. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 we recognized a $26.5 million gain from the change in fair value of the Incremental Warrants. Comparable instrument outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2024 were assigned a fair value of zero, as their terms and market conditions resulted in no economic value being attributed to them as of the measurement date. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 we recognized a $14.2 million gain from the change in fair value of the SPA Portfolio warrants compared to a $3.9 million gain during the same period in 2024. This increase was largely driven by the year-over-year growth in the number of SPA Portfolio warrants outstanding. Beginning in the second half of 2024, we began issuing SPA Portfolio warrants equal to 100% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable SPA Portfolio Note, significantly increasing the number of warrants outstanding year over year. As of September 30, 2025 there were 54,718,369 SPA Portfolio liability classified third party warrants outstanding compared to 5,931,638 outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Change in Fair Value of Notes Payable, Warrant Liabilities, and Derivative Call Options (9-Month Overview) Nine Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options $ 36,721 $ 28,927 $ 7,794 26.9 % During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we recognized an aggregate day-one loss of $60.5 million related to the initial measurement of SPA Portfolio Notes, Warrants and Incremental Warrants, as compared to $8.9 million during the same period in 2024. This loss was offset by a net gain from subsequent remeasurement of $102.5 million and $39.7 million, respectively. Our outstanding notes and warrants were remeasured at predominantly lower fair values due to pricing inputs that use the market price of our Common Stock, which experienced a decline during the period. The fair value of the SPA Portfolio Notes and associated warrants is influenced by the relationship between the Company’s stock price and the applicable conversion or exercise prices. As of September 30,, the stock price was $1.30, compared to a weighted average conversion price of $1.66 for the SPA Portfolio Notes and warrant exercise prices ranging from $1.16 to $2.02. While some instruments remained in-the-money, the narrowing spread relative to December 31, 2024 — when the stock price was $2.43 — reduced their intrinsic value. This decline in intrinsic value contributed to the decrease in fair value and the resulting net gains recognized during the period. Specifically, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we recognized a $50.1 million net gain from the change in fair value of the Incremental Warrants. There was no comparable instrument outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase was primarily driven by a higher volume of related party instruments outstanding during the 2025 period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued to a related party 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes and associated common stock warrants and Incremental Warrants. As of September 30, 2025, all of the common stock warrants and Incremental Warrants remained outstanding. The fair value of our related party instruments decreased during the period ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in our Class A Common Stock price over the quarter. This resulted in recognized gains of approximately $1.0 million related to the common stock warrants and approximately $1.1 million, related to the Incremental Warrants. There was no significant related party debt or warrant instruments outstanding or activity during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Significant driving factors include (1) an increase in related party activity, such as issuance and conversion of the related party 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes, warrants, and Incremental Warrants and (2) the recognition of day-one losses upon issuance of related party 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes and associated instruments. We issued $4.7 million of rel ated party SPA Portfolio Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Upon issuance the Company recognized a day-one loss of $3.6 million, as the combined fair valu e of the SPA Portfolio Note, SPA Portfolio Note Warrant, and Incremental Warrant exceeded the cash proceeds received. These issuance-date losses were further offset by net $0.5 million gain from the remeasurement of related party notes payable, related party warrant liabilities, and related party Incremental Warrants as of September 30, 2025. The fair value of our related party instruments decreased during the period ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in our Class A Common Stock price over the period since the first issuance of 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes to related parties in March 2025.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company converted $34.4 million of SPA Notes into 30,945,927 shares of Class A common stock, compared to $62.0 million converted into $19,112,032 shares during the same period in 2024. Although more shares were issued per dollar of principal converted during the 2025 period, the average fair value of those shares was substantially lower due to the decline in the Company’s stock price. More investor-favorable conversion pricing, arising from the December 2024 SPA and the full anti-ratchet provisions in the Company’s convertible instruments, increased the number of shares required to settle each dollar of debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s stock price experienced a temporary increase, stimulating the Note conversion at that time. Consequently, the fair value of equity delivered exceeded the fair value of the notes converted by a greater extent, resulting in a higher loss on extinguishment per dollar of principal the three months ended September 30, 2025. Loss on Settlement of Notes Payable (9-Month Overview) Nine Months Ended September 30, Change (in thousands) 2025 2024 Amount % Loss on settlement of notes payable $ (84,895) $ (117,509) $ 32,614 (27.8) % The $32.6 million period-over-period decrease in Loss on settlement of notes payable reflects both a lower loss recognized per dollar of principal converted in 2025 and, to a lesser extent, a lower volume of the of debt conversions. During the nine months of 2025, the Company converted $89.2 million of principal into 82,657,564 shares of Class A common stock, compared to $96.3 million of principal converted into 29,117,806 shares during the nine months of 2024. Although more shares were issued per dollar of principal converted in 2025, the average fair value of those shares was substantially lower due to the decline in the Company’s stock price. The nine-month average loss per dollar of principal declined to $0.95 in 2025 from $1.19 in 2024. This period-over-period improvement was primarily driven by differences in conversion pricing mechanics and the relative timing of stock price movements between the periods. During the first six months of 2024, conversions occurred at fixed conversion prices in an environment where the Company’s stock price increased prior to settlement, resulting in higher extinguishment losses as the fair value of equity delivered exceeded the carrying amount of the debt extinguished. In contrast, the 2025 conversions incorporated variable pricing features for the whole period that generally reduced the differential between the fair value of equity issued and the carrying amount of the Notes settled, particularly during periods of lower and less volatile stock prices. Additionally, the lower loss per dollar in 2025 reflects the reduced contractual interest rate on the notes (10% in 2025 versus 15% in 2024) and the absence of make-whole provisions that were applicable to certain conversions during the first half of 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Going Concern We have evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Based on our recurring losses from operations since inception and continued cash outflows from operating activities (all as described below), we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Preparation of Financial statements The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern, and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. 110 Table of Contents Capital Investment, SPA Portfolio Notes, and Future Equity Plans We have and will continue to devote substantial effort and, to the extent available, capital resources, to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of our electric vehicle platform, development of vehicle models, finalizing the build out of the FF ieFactory California manufacturing facility, and capital raising.

During 2023, we commenced deliveries of the FF Series, specifically the FF 91 model, to customers. We are currently manufacturing the FF 91 with plans to manufacture FF 92 models within the FF Series. We have launched the FX Series, beginning with the Super One model, and is accepting pre-orders. We are preparing to initiate full-scale, series production of the FX Series, including the Super One, for commercial sale, as distinct from prototype builds or validation units. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company has funded its operations and capital needs primarily through the issuance of notes payable and related party notes payable convertible notes (see Note 7, Notes Payable and Note 8, Related Party Transactions ), and the sale of common stock. Substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, management plans to continue funding operations through these means. Debt Commitments under SPA Portfolio Notes and Other Notes SPA Portfolio Notes: We have issued various financing arrangements collectively known as the SPA Portfolio Notes. These are categorized as follows: (i) Secured SPA Notes; (ii) 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes; (iii) Junior Secured SPA Notes; (iv) 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes (v) and 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes . As of September 30, 2025, the SPA Portfolio Notes were in good standing. Pursuant to the SPA Portfolio Notes commitments (collectively the “SPA Commitments”) (see Note 7, Notes Payable and Note 8, Related Party Transactions ), we obtained commitments from several investors. As of September 30, 2025, the SPA Commitments totaled $739.0 million, of which $494.2 million was funded, $189.2 million expired unfunded, $55.6 million remained to be funded, and $52.7 million in principal was outstanding. As of September 30, 2025, Optional Commitments (including incremental warrants) under the SPA Commitments totaled $467.0 million, of which $100.4 million was funded, $317.1 million expired unfunded, $49.5 million remained to be funded, and $40.7 million was outstanding. The remaining amounts to be funded as of September 30, 2025 are subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, including minimum share price or minimum trade volume. We may be unable to satisfy the closing conditions under the SPA Commitments or obtain additional incremental convertible senior secured note purchasers under the SPA Commitments or other debt or equity financing in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Other Financing Arrangements and Related Party Notes: Additional financing is provided via convertible debt instruments, equipment financing arrangements, and related party notes that support our operations and capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2025, all notes were in good standing. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, At-The-Market Offerin g , and Equity Issuance Constraints Standby Equity Purchase Agreement On November 11, 2022, we entered into the SEPA, which expires in November 2025. Under the terms of the SEPA, we may, at our option, issue and sell from time to time up to $200.0 million (which can be increased up to $350.0 million in the aggregate at our option) of Class A Common Stock to Yorkville, subject to certain limitations. As of September 30, 2025, we had the right to issue and sell up to an additional $192.5 million, or $342.5 million if we exercise our option under the SEPA. At-The-Market Offerin g On September 26, 2023, we entered into a sales agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, B. Riley Securities, Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Wedbush Securities Inc. and Maxim Group LLC, as sales agents, to sell shares of Class A Common Stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $90.0 million pursuant to the Registration Statement as an “at-the-market” offering under the Securities Act (the “ATM Program”). Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, because the Company failed to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as its Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company was previously ineligible to access the ATM Program. However, as of August 1, 2025, the Company regained eligibility to access the ATM Program. 111 Table of Contents Equity Issuance Constraints Our ability to issue and sell additional shares of Class A Common Stock or warrants to support ongoing capital needs is further constrained by the number of authorized shares. In addition to outstanding shares, we must also consider shares reserved for issuance under convertible debt, warrants or other obligations with equity rights. In addition, equity issuances can potentially trigger various anti-dilution features in our debt and equity instruments that increase the number of shares to be issued and/or reduce the exercise price. This could result in us having inadequate authorized shares to meet our outstanding commitments. Capital Needs, FX Series Production, and Bankruptcy Risk We project that we will require substantial additional funds to continue operations and support production of the FF 91, and our FX Series of vehicles. If additional capital is not secured, we will not have sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue operations, which could result in bankruptcy protection and asset liquidation, with equity holders receiving little to no recovery. However, the anticipated start of FX Series production is expected to generate new revenue streams and enhance operational performance, thereby partially mitigating near-term cash flow pressures. However, if additional capital is not secured, we will not have sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue operations, which could result in bankruptcy protection and asset liquidation, with equity holders receiving little to no recovery. On September 29, 2025, we completed the consolidation of AIXC, a Nasdaq-listed life sciences company, as a variable interest entity. This transaction was executed as part of a strategic plan to use AIXC as a corporate platform for future non-automotive initiatives, including blockchain and digital asset ventures. AIXC’s historical life sciences operations were immaterial to our consolidated results for the period and are expected to wind down or be restructured in future periods. The consolidation of AIXC did not materially improve our near-term liquidity position or alter its current working capital constraints. We expect to fund any new strategic initiatives executed through AIXC using external capital sources or asset reallocations, and no revenues were generated from these initiatives during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025. While AIXC’s consolidation supports our long-term strategic flexibility, it does not alleviate the substantial doubt that remains regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Funding Alternatives and Risks We continue to explore various funding and financing alternatives to fund our ongoing operations and to ramp up production. The particular funding and financing mechanisms, terms, timing, and amounts depend on our assessment of opportunities available in the marketplace and the circumstances of the business at the relevant time. However, there have been delays in securing additional funding commitments, which have exacerbated supply chain pressures, among other things. If our ongoing capital raising efforts are unsuccessful or significantly delayed, or if we experience prolonged material adverse trends in our business, production will be delayed or decreased, and actual use of cash, production volume and revenue for 2025 will vary from our previously disclosed forecasts, and such variances may be material. While we are actively engaged in negotiations with potential financing sources, we may be unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition to the risk that our assumptions and analyses may prove incorrect, the projections may underestimate the professional fees and other costs to be incurred related to the pursuit of various financing options currently being considered and ongoing legal risks. Capital needs to fund development of our remaining product portfolio will highly depend on the market success and profitability of the FF 91 and the launch of the FX series, and our ability to accurately estimate and control costs. Apart from the FF 91 series and FX series, substantial additional capital will be required to fund operations, research, development, and design efforts for future vehicles. In addition, elevated U.S. import tariffs on electric vehicle components sourced from China could increase our future manufacturing costs as production of the FX Series and other future vehicle models are introduced. While tariffs did not materially impact cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to limited production volume, continued reliance on China-based suppliers may contribute to higher input costs, pressure gross margins, and increase the Company's future funding needs. Going Concern and Future Capital Strat egy Despite our diversified financing structure - including the SPA Portfolio Notes, convertible debt instruments, and equipment financing, and targeted inflows from new debt, and anticipated equity - and our current cash flow projections, our recurring operating losses and continuing negative cash flows from operations continue to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 112 Table of Contents Sources of Liquidity As of September 30, 2025, our principal source of liquidity was cash on hand totaling $62.9 million, which was held for working capital and general corporate purposes. We also have access to various sources of additional capital, including the SEPA and the SPA Commitments. Our ability to access these sources of capital and further information on amounts available is discussed in Note 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern, of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. Significant Related Party Notes Payable and Notes Payable Facilities We have been significantly funded by notes payable from related parties and third parties. The related parties include employees as well as affiliates of employees and affiliates and other companies controlled or previously controlled by our founder and Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer (who, in April 2025, became Global Co-CEO). Effective August 13, 2025, during the pendency of the SEC investigation, Mr. Jia was temporarily excluded from oversight of the finance, legal, accounting, and public reporting functions. For more information on the outstanding related party notes payable and notes payable as well as the related schedules of maturities, see Note 7, Notes Payable , and Note 8, Related Party Transactions , of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. Notes payable with third parties and related parties are summarized in the following tables as of June 30, 2025, including contractual maturities, stated interest rates, unpaid principal balances, fair value adjustments, original issue discounts (including amounts allocated to warrants), and net carrying values. Most of our notes payable are measured under the fair value option, with changes in fair value recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Because these instruments are carried at fair value, no effective interest rate is presented. While the SPA Portfolio Notes bear stated interest rates of 10% or 15%, our effective cost of capital is substantially higher. Each SPA Portfolio Note permits settlement in shares at a value exceeding the stated principal and accrued interest. In addition, each holder receives an SPA Portfolio Warrant, and certain holders receive an Incremental Warrant. These features significantly increase the effective cost of capital beyond the stated rates. The financial impact of the SPA Portfolio Notes is reflected in changes in fair value and losses on extinguishment, as presented in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Our operating cash flows are significantly affected by fluctuations in working capital components, including changes in personnel expenses, accounts payable, accrued interest, other current liabilities, deposits, and current assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $79.2 million, compared to $51.8 million for the same period in 2024, reflecting a $27.4 million increase in cash outflows. Net Loss: The reduction of $122.6 million in Net loss is an improvement in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024; however, this figure includes various non-cash transactions that are excluded when calculating cash flow from operating activities. Non-cash adjustments: Non-cash adjustments decreased by $115.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was comprised of a $32.6 million reduction in Loss on settlement of notes payable, $11.3 million reduction Loss on settlement of related party notes payable, and a $7.8 million Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative liabilities. These adjustments were partially offset by a $14.9 million decrease in Settlement on accrued research and development expenses a $14.4 million increase in Reserve on inventory and a $130.8 million increase in Asset impairment. As these adjustments do not represent actual cash changes, they are disclosed for reconciliation purposes consistent with the cash flow statement. Changes in working capital: Changes in working capital increased by $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, changes in working capital included unfavorable shifts in our operating assets and liabilities. Notable contributors to the change were a $9.1 million change in Accounts payable balances, a $7.5 million change in Related party accrued interest expense, a $5.5 million change in Inventory, and a $2.7 million change in Operating lease liabilities. These were partially offset by a $10.1 million change in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. While these figures are detailed in the cash flow statement, they underscore the critical role that effective working capital management has played in reducing our operating cash outflows. The reductions in cash outlays for working capital purposes result from our cost-saving and cash management measures. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2024, reflecting an increase of $0.8 million. The higher use of cash was primarily attributable to a $8.8 million investment in AIXC, net of cash acquired. This outflow was partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in capital expenditures for property and equipment. The Company continues to manage through liquidity constraints; however, these strategic outlays contributed to the elevated level of investing activity during the period. Financing Activities Amid a challenging financing environment, we are actively seeking strategic opportunities to boost our cash reserves and support growth using a mix of convertible loans and non-convertible funding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, financing activities provided a net cash inflow of $135.8 million, compared to a net cash inflow of $55.7 million for the same period in 2024—an increase of $80.1 million. The improvement reflects the Company’s continued ability to secure financing despite a challenging capital markets environment. In 2025, proceeds from notes payable were $132.4 million, up by $78.4 million from $54.0 million in 2024. Our proceeds from related party notes payable increased to $4.7 million in 2025 from $3.1 million in 2024, an increase of $1.7 million. These proceeds were offset by payments of notes payable and other financing obligations, which totaled $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2024 115 Table of Contents Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Restricted Cash The exchange rates effect on cash and restricted cash was $1.1 million and zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effects of exchange rate changes on cash and restricted cash result from fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Chinese Yuan. Fluctuations in exchange rates against the U.S. Dollar may positively or negatively affect our operating results. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We did not have any material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Thus, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, in accordance GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates, and such differences may materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Given current global macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, our estimates are subject to additional variability and volatility. Critical accounting estimates are defined as estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. For a description of our critical accounting estimates, refer to the section titled “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. As of the date of this report, there have been no major changes to our critical accounting estimates described in the Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes. The incremental addition to our critical accounting estimates is business combinations and goodwill. For further details, refer to Note 1, Nature of Business and Organization and Note 3, Business Acquisition . Recent Accounting Pronouncements See the sections titled “ Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1, Nature of Business and Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a discussion about our recently adopted accounting pronouncements and the recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted which are determined to be applicable to us. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information under this Item as we qualify as a “smaller reporting company.” 116 Table of Contents
