Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 in the financial statements, the Company suffers from recurring losses, has a negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ HTL International, LLC We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Nature of Business and Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business and Organization Unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, references herein to the “Company,” “FFIE,” “FFAI,” “Faraday”, “FF”, “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and controlled and managed entities. The Company is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 11, 2020, conducts its operations through its subsidiaries and is headquartered in 18455 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, CA 90248. We have two operating segments—AI Electric Vehicle (“AIEV”), and digital assets — and both segment meet the criteria of reportable segment under ASC 280 for the year ended December 31, 2025. (For further information, see Note 18, Segments ). The Company designs and engineers next-generation intelligent electric vehicles, manufactures its vehicles at its production facility in Hanford, California, known as “FF aiFactory California,” and maintains additional engineering, sales, and operational capabilities in China and the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E.”) to support its global expansion and regional market strategy. The Company has created innovations in technology, products, and a user-centered business model that are being incorporated into its planned electric vehicle platform. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. This includes any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation Use of Estimates and Judgments The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the long-lived asset impairment calculations. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and financial models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances. Given the global economic climate, estimates are subject to additional volatility. As of the date of filing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements on this Form 10-K with the SEC for the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or to revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Foreign Currency The Company determines the functional and reporting currency of each of its international subsidiaries based on the primary currency of the economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is their respective local currency, which in China and the United Arab Emirates (“U.A.E.”) is the Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) and the U.A.E. Dirham (“AED”), respectively. 154 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is their local currency, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity (deficit) is translated at the applicable historical exchange rate, and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. The effect of exchange rate changes resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiary financial statements is accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, restricted cash, and deposits. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and restricted cash is held at financial institutions located in the United States of America and in the People’s Republic of China. The Company maintains its cash and restricted cash with major financial institutions. At times, cash and restricted cash account balances with any one financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits ($ 250 thousand per depositor per institution) and China Deposit Insurance Regulations limits (CNY 500 thousand per depositor per institution), and the U.A.E. deposit insurance framework (AED 100 thousand per depositor per institution), where applicable. Management believes the financial institutions holding the Company’s cash and restricted cash are financially sound; accordingly, credit risk related to these balances is considered minimal. Cash and restricted cash held by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. If the U.S. dollar were to weaken significantly against the Chinese Yuan or the U.A.E. Dirham, the Company’s costs to develop its businesses in China and the U.A.E. could exceed original estimates. The Company sources certain components from sole suppliers. Due to the Company's pre-commercial production status, the volume of business transacted with these suppliers is not material. However, as the Company advances its product pipeline toward production, its reliance on sole-source suppliers could materially impact its ability to scale productions and future operating results. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , which defines a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 relate to financial assets and liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance for fair value measurement requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 155 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds. Level 2 Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 instruments typically include U.S. government and agency debt securities, and corporate obligations. Valuations are usually obtained through market data of the investment itself as well as market transactions involving comparable assets, liabilities or funds. Level 3 Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial or nonfinancial asset or liability. ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments , allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to certain related party notes payable and notes payable with conversion features as discussed in Note 15, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company did not separately report interest expense attributable to the notes payable accounted for pursuant to the fair value option in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss because such interest was included in the determination of the fair value of the notes payable and changes thereto. Variable Interest Entity In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company assesses whether it has a variable interest in legal entities in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether those entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if so, to consolidate the VIE. AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Qualigen Therapeutics Inc.) On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a lead investor subscription agreement with AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. (“AIXC”) (then known as Qualigen Therapeutics, Inc.). Under the agreement, the Company acquired common and preferred equity interests in AIXC. Despite only holding approximately 7.9 % of AIXC’s outstanding voting shares as of the acquisition date (i.e., September 29, 2025) , the Company obtained participating rights over governance and operating decisions, including the appointment of a Co-Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of AIXC, each of whom is also an employee or officer of the Company, as well as discretion over all digital-asset and cash management decisions. The Company concluded that on the acquisition date, AIXC was a VIE. Based on FF’s participating rights over governance and operating decisions, the Company determined that it had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact AIXC’s economic performance and was therefore the primary beneficiary of AIXC. The Company consolidated AIXC beginning on September 29, 2025 pursuant to the VIE provisions of ASC 810. On November 12, 2025, AIXC held its annual special meeting of stockholders, at which stockholder approval was obtained for the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into additional voting common shares pursuant to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. As a result, the Company’s share of voting common stock increased to approximately 57.5 % on an as-converted basis. Additionally, subsequent to the stockholder approval the Company was granted the ability to nominate a controlling percentage of AIXC’s board of directors. The Company reconsidered its determination that AIXC was a VIE and noted that subsequent to stockholder approval AIXC remained a VIE. The Company’s participating rights over governance and operating decisions remained in effect, and the Company continued to conclude that it had the power to direct the activities that 156 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements most significantly impact AIXC’s economic performance. In addition, while the Company’s ownership increased to approximately 57.5 %, on an as-converted basis, the Company’s exercisable voting interest remained subject to applicable ownership limitations as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it remained the primary beneficiary of AIXC and continued to consolidate AIXC pursuant to the VIE provisions of ASC 810. The assets and liabilities of AIXC are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at their acquisition date fair values. Additional information regarding the initial measurement and accounting for the consolidation of AIXC, including the recognition of acquired intangible assets and the noncontrolling interest, is presented in Note 3, Business Acquisition. AIXC effected a name change to AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc.on November 14, 2025. Summarized financial information of AIXC included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and for the three months then ended is presented below. AIXC Condensed Balance Sheet December 31, 2025 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents . $ 19,333 Digital assets . 10,250 Other current assets 1,372 Total current assets . 30,955 Intangible assets and other assets . 325 Total assets $ 31,280 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 3,045 Warrant liabilities and convertible debt 284 Total liabilities 3,329 Total stockholders’ equity (deficit) 27,951 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity (deficit) $ 31,280 AIXC Condensed Statement of Operations Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands) Operating expenses $ 7,364 Other expense, net $ 3,233 Net loss $ ( 10,596 ) 157 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

On October 23, 2025, Faraday X AIEV Hong Kong Holding Limited (“FXHK”) completed a legal name change to GlobeX Al Hong Kong Holding Limited As a subsidiary, GXHK is responsible for executing the FX strategy and driving the success of the FX brand. On March 31, 2025, the Company transferred 6,000 shares, representing 60 % of the issued share capital of GXHK (then named FXHK), to Xiao Ma, the Chief Executive Officer of Faraday X and an employee of the Company. The Company continues to hold the remaining 40 % of the issued shares of GXHK. The Company consolidates GXHK pursuant to the VIE provisions of ASC 810. GXHK was established with nominal capital and is dependent on the Company to support its activities to develop, market, and sell the Company's FX brand. GXHK carries nominal assets and liabilities on its balance sheet, which primarily consists of Cash, Deposits, and Intercompany payables. The Company is the primary beneficiary of GXHK because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact GXHK's economic performance. Through various agreements executed with Mr. Ma, along with Mr. Ma's status as an employee of the Company, the Company is able to exercise sole control over stockholder decisions and maintains the unilateral right to remove Mr. Ma from his position as the majority stockholder. The Company is entitled to substantially all of the benefits and bears all of the risks associated with GXHK through a combination of equity ownership and contractual arrangements. The assets and liabilities of GXHK are carried at their historical cost in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as the Company has had control over GXHK since its inception. The assets of GXHK may only be used to settle obligations of GXHK, and the liabilities of GXHK do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company, except to the extent the Company has explicitly provided support. The amounts attributable to GXHK in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows were insignificant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Grow Fandor Inc Grow Fandor Inc. (“Grow Fandor”) was founded by Mr. Jiawei Wang and Mr. Yueting Jia and other partners on May 28, 2024. Additional partners included current employees of FF and all founding members were granted equity in Grow Fandor. Grow Fandor is an IP commercializing company that leverages a business IP matrix of top entrepreneurs and celebrities to transform content and commerce across industries. Subsequently, Grow Fandor raised $ 1.0 million to capitalize the entity from parties that are existing FF investors. On October 9, 2024, Mr. YT Jia donated 15 million shares of Grow Fandor common stock to FF. As a result of the donation FF has a 10 % ownership interest in Grow Fandor. On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Trademark License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Grow Fandor. This agreement grants Grow Fandor the right to use the Company’s trademarks with its products. The equity interest and the License Agreement held by the Company represent variable interests. Grow Fandor is a VIE, as it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. However, FF does not have the power to direct the activities of Grow Fandor and therefore is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Grow Fandor, and Grow Fandor’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Significant transactions between the Company and Grow Fandor are disclosed in Note 9, Related Party Transactions . 158 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The carrying value of the Company’s investment in Grow Fandor, the amounts recognized from transactions with Grow Fandor, and any related cash flows were insignificant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented Segments The Company has two operating segments—AI Electric Vehicle (“AIEV”), and digital assets — both segments meet the criteria for separate reporting under ASC 280. Through August 12, 2025, t he Company’s two Global Co-Chief Executive Officers (“Global Co-CEOs”), acting jointly serving as Co-Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”), and regularly evaluated the Company’s financial performance using consolidated financial 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 the Company’s sole CODM for purposes of ASC 280. Management has identified Loss from operations, as presented in the Company's 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. The Company defines “significant segment expense” as controllable operating costs that are regularly provided to and reviewed by management. Refer to Note 18 for further detail on the components of “loss from operations.” 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, works in close collaboration with the Company’s business leaders to establish critical operational targets, sets project timelines, and adjusts 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 oversight supports the Company’s strategic objectives to focus business activities on production, sales, and leasing of its FF 91 vehicles, the planned FF 92 upgrade program, the commercialization of the FX Series vehicles, and the development of the Company’s planned digital asset, blockchain-based platform, and related crypto service initiatives through AIXC . During the third quarter of 2025, the Company consolidated AIXC. The acquisition closed on September 29, 2025, and AIXC’s results were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the final two days of the quarter. The Company uses AIXC as the platform for future crypto-related initiatives; however, no crypto operations were active during the quarter, and the Company liquidated its crypto holdings to fund the AIXC transaction. (For further information see Note 3 - Business Acquisition - Consolidation of AIXC, and Note 1 - Nature of Business and Organization ). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held $ 19.0 million in cash and $ 16.0 million cash balance in cash equivalent. Digital Assets In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. When crypto assets do not meet the definition of cash, cash equivalent, financial assets or inventory, ASU 2023-08 requires certain crypto assets to be measured periodically at fair value and presented as a separate long-lived intangible asset on the balance sheet, unless the Company’s intention is dispose of them within less than a year, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value and disposition of digital assets reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss each reporting period. The Company determines the fair value of its digital assets based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). Accordingly, the Company classifies its digital assets within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The Company utilizes pricing information provided by the principal market, which is based on observable market prices from active trading exchanges. The Company measures digital assets at fair value as of UTC+0:00 on the final day of each reporting period. The Company does not currently recognize revenue from contracts with customers related to digital assets. Cash flows arising from purchases and sales of digital assets are presented as investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 159 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Balance Balance as of December 31, 2024 $ — Purchases 27,000 Sales ( 12,593 ) Net (loss) gain on digital assets ( 4,117 ) Other ( 40 ) Balance as of December 31, 2025 $ 10,250 Short-term notes receivable Short-term notes receivable are measured in accordance with ASC 326-20 (Current Expected Credit Losses, “CECL”), which requires recognition of expected credit losses over the life of the receivable based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company, through its acquisition of AIXC, holds short-term notes receivable from Marizyme, Inc. (“Marizyme”) arising from cash advances made by AIXC to Marizyme prior to the Company’s acquisition of AIXC. These notes bear interest at 18% per annum, are payable on demand, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Because AIXC has limited loss history for similar exposures, expected credit losses are estimated using a probability-weighted model that considers multiple settlement scenarios, including potential recovery through acquisition, liquidation, or other realizations of the debtor’s assets. The resulting allowance for expected credit losses reflects an assessment of Marizyme’s financial condition, estimated recoverable amounts, and the likelihood of each outcome. The allowance is reassessed each reporting period and updated as new information becomes available. As of December 31, 2025, the estimate for expected credit losses on the Marizyme Notes is $ 4.6 million. Given the inherently uncertain nature of the debtor’s financial condition and future outcomes, actual credit losses may differ materially from this estimate. The Company will continue to monitor relevant events and conditions and update its assumptions and allowance as necessary. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. The Company primarily computes cost using standard cost, which approximates cost on the first-in, first-out 160 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically adjusts its value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon expectations of future demand and market conditions, as well as damaged or otherwise impaired goods. Inventory is classified as a current asset when it is expected to be sold, consumed, or used in production within twelve months or the operating cycle, whichever is longer. Inventory that is not expected to be realized or used within twelve months or the operating cycle is classified as a non-current asset within Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This includes, for example, spare parts, service parts, or production parts held for future models or to fulfill warranty obligations on discontinued products Property, Plant and Equipment, Net Property, plant and equipment, including land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is not depreciated. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the assets lives, are charged to operating expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and for building improvements, over the term of the lease, if shorter. Useful Life (in years) Buildings 39 Building improvements 15 Computer hardware 5 Tooling, machinery, and equipment 5 to 10 Vehicles 5 Lease vehicles 7 Computer software 3 Leasehold improvements Shorter of asset useful life or term of the lease Construction in process (“CIP”) consists of the construction activities related to the FF aiFactory California production facility in plant and tooling, machinery and equipment being built to serve the manufacturing of production vehicles. These assets are depreciated once put into service. The amounts capitalized in CIP that are held at vendor sites relate to the completed portion of work-in-progress of tooling, machinery and equipment built based on the Company’s specific needs. The Company may incur storage fees or interest fees related to CIP which are expensed as incurred. CIP is presented within Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Deposits The Company reviews its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant, and equipment, deposits and right-of-use assets (“ROU”), for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset groups) may not be recoverable. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets, including any cash flows upon their eventual disposition, to the assets carrying values. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are written down to their fair value. Assets classified as held for sale are also assessed for impairment and such amounts are determined at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell the asset. The Company’s long-lived assets have been evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis due to the Company’s low market capitalization when compared with the carrying value of its long-lived assets. Additionally, in July 2025, the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (“Act”) was signed into law, eliminating federal tax credits for electric vehicles effective September 30, 161 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2025. This policy change, combined with escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and potential restrictions on critical materials, created significant macroeconomic uncertainty and cost pressures. Management determined these developments, in addition to the Company’s low market-capitalization compared with the carrying value of our fixed assets, constituted triggering events under ASC 360 and performed an impairment assessment of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company noted through the performance of the recoverability test and the calculation of the fair value of the long-lived assets, as prescribed in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, that certain of its long-lived assets were impaired. Fair value was determined based on a combination of income, sales comparison and market approaches, with valuation categories assigned to asset classes based on similar characteristics. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 128.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, related to its long-lived assets equipment located at vendor sites and at the Company’s FF aiFactory 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. See Note 6, Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net for further details. Additionally, the Company recorded impairments related to deposits the Company paid for future goods and services of $ 8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. No impairments were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 5, Deposits and Other Current Assets. Further, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gross impairment of approximately $ 8.8 million related to certain right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets associated with facility exits. The write-down of the ROU assets was partially offset by a remeasurement of the related lease liabilities, resulting in a net impairment charge of approximately $ 1.8 million recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 11, Leases, for further details. There were no lease impairments for the year ended December 31, 2025. Software Capitalization T he Company accounts for the costs incurred in developing its product offerings under ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 350-40, the Company will capitalize costs incurred in connection with the development of the Company’s product offerings during the application development stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in connection with maintenance activities, including training or bug fixes are also expensed as incurred. The Company stops capitalizing qualifying costs once development activities are completed and the project is ready for its intended use. Capitalized software costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a 36-month useful life beginning on the date when the product is ready for its intended use. Management will subsequently test the capitalized software costs for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360. Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. The Company acquired goodwill in connection with its acquisition of AIXC and assigned all of the associated goodwill to its AIXC reporting unit. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. On December 31, 2025, as a result of the decline in the stock price of AIXC subsequent to acquisition, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for the AIXC reporting unit. The impairment test compared the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the AIXC reporting unit was determined primarily using a market-based approach that relied upon observable market data, including AIXC’s fully diluted market capitalization as of the testing date. Given AIXC’s development-stage profile, no incremental control benefits were identified; therefore, the market capitalization was considered a reasonable proxy for the fair value of 100 % of the equity. 162 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Based on the quantitative assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying amount of the AIXC reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 of which $ 2.6 million was allocated to the Company and $ 1.9 million to noncontrolling interest. The impairment charge is included in Impairment of goodwill in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024, as the Company did not have a goodwill balance prior to the AIXC acquisition. Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company’s in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) acquired in connection with the acquisition of AIXC was recorded at its acquisition-date fair value, which represents its initial cost basis. The Company will continue to carry this asset at that amount until completion or abandonment of the associated R&D project, at which time an appropriate useful life will be determined. The Company did not recognize any impairment of its IPR&D for the year ended December 31, 2025. Business Combination The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires management to use significant judgment in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in evaluating whether an acquired set meets the definition of a business. See Note 3 – Business Acquisition to the consolidated financial statements for further information. Noncontrolling Interest Where our ownership interest is less than 100%, but greater than 50%, the noncontrolling ownership interest is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Non-controlling interest represents the portion of the net assets of a subsidiaries attributable to interests that are not owned by the Company. The non-controlling interest is presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interest’s operating result is presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) as an allocation of the total income for the year between non-controlling shareholders and the shareholders of the Company. Revenue Recognition The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source: (in thousands) 2025 2024 Automotive sales $ 166 $ 495 Automotive leasing - Sales type 250 44 Automotive leasing - Operating type 120 — $ 536 $ 539 Automotive Sales Revenue The Company recognizes automotive sales revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Automotive sales revenue includes cash deliveries of new vehicles, and specific other features and services including home charger, charger installation, twenty-four-seven roadside assistance, over-the-air (“OTA”) software updates, internet connectivity and destination fees that meet the definition of a performance obligation under ASC 606. As part of the first step in applying ASC 606, the Company assesses whether multiple contracts entered into with the same customer—such as a vehicle sale and a co-creation agreement—should be combined. When these contracts are negotiated together and are economically interdependent, they are accounted for as a single arrangement. This evaluation ensures that the revenue recognition reflects the substance of the transaction. Refer to the subsequent section of this note for a detailed discussion of the co-creation arrangements with customers and their impact on revenue recognition under ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when control of the vehicle transfers upon delivery to the customer. Payments are typically received at the point control transfers or according to payment terms customary to the business as specified in the sales contract. 163 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Vehicle contracts do not contain a significant financing component. For obligations related to automotive sales, transaction prices are allocated among performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, determined using market prices, estimated internal costs, and comparable third-party offerings. The transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in proportion to the standalone selling price of its performance obligations. Other features and services as discussed above are provisioned upon transfer of control of the vehicle and are required to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period, as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services to the customer. However, due to immateriality, revenue from other features and services are combined with the vehicle performance obligation and recognized upon the transfer of the vehicle. The Company provides certain customers with a residual value guarantee which may or may not be exercised in the future. Residual value guarantees provided to customers had an immaterial imp act on revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 . Automotive Leasing Revenue The Company accounts for its automotive leasing revenue program under ASC 606 and ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Operating Leasing Program : The Company offers a vehicle operating leasing program in the U.S., allowing qualifying customers to lease a vehicle directly from the Company for a lease term of up to 36 months. At the end of the lease term, customers are generally required to return the vehicle to the Company, at which point the Company may either sell or re-lease the returned vehicle. Leasing revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, as long as collectability is probable in accordance with ASC 842. If collectability of lease payments is not probable at lease commencement, lease income is recognized on a cash basis, meaning payments received are recorded as revenue only when collected. Depreciation expense related to leased vehicles is recorded in cost of automotive leasing revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term, reflecting the expected residual value of the vehicles at lease termination. Upfront payments related to lease agreements are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Taxes collected from customers in connection with automotive leasing transactions are excluded from the transaction price and reported separately in accordance with ASC 606. As part of the revenue recognition process, the Company evaluates whether a lease contract should be combined with other agreements—such as co-creation arrangements—under ASC 606 when the contracts are negotiated together and are economically interdependent. Refer to the subsequent section of this note for a detailed discussion of the co-creation arrangements with customers and their impact on revenue recognition under ASC 606. Sales-Type Leasing Program : The Company enters into sales-type lease arrangements in accordance with ASC 842, under which customers generally have the option to purchase the leased vehicle at the end of the lease term, which is typically 36 months. The lease is classified as a sales-type lease when the Company concludes that the customer is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option and, as a result, the Company expects the customer to obtain title to the vehicle upon completion of all contractual payments. At lease commencement, if collectability of the lease payments is probable, the Company derecognizes the leased vehicle and recognizes: • Automotive leasing revenue for the present value of lease payments and any guaranteed residual value; and • Automotive leasing cost of revenue for the carrying value of the leased vehicle. If collectability is not deemed probable at lease commencement, revenue recognition is deferred, and lease payments received are recorded as a deposit liability. The leased vehicle remains on the Company’s balance sheet until collectability becomes probable, at which point revenue recognition is triggered. The Company recognizes a net investment in sales-type leases, which includes both the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset. The unguaranteed residual asset represents the estimated fair value of the leased vehicle at the end of the lease term that is not guaranteed by the lessee or any third party. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of unguaranteed residual assets included in the net investment in sales-type leases, and presented within accounts receivable, was approximately $ 0.2 million. The estimate of unguaranteed residual value reflects management’s judgment, informed by historical residual value experience, current market conditions, and the anticipated future utility of the leased assets. 164 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Co-creation Arrangements As part of the Company’s Futurist Product Officers (“FPO”) Co-Creation Delivery program, which began in August 2023, the Company has entered into co-creation agreements with certain customers. This arrangement leverages select sales and leasing customers to provide valuable driving data, insights, marketing, and brand awareness for the FF 91 vehicle. In exchange for these services, the Company compensates customers through a one-time consulting fee, consulting fees paid in installments or a discount on their lease payments. The services provided are considered distinct and could be purchased separately from a third party. The Company evaluates the economic substance of both the vehicle sale or lease contract and the co-creation agreement to determine whether they should be combined under the contract combination guidance in ASC 606. When the contracts are economically linked, the Company accounts for them as a single arrangement. Under this approach, the cash inflows from the customer and the cash outflows from the Company are netted and treated as a single transaction. The resulting net amount is recorded as marketing expense if the net amount is more than the sale price of the vehicle. 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. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 0.7 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively, in co-creation fees as marketing expenses for the same periods. Co-creation fees related to R&D were considered insignificant and included in Sales and marketing expenses. All co-creation fees are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Customer Deposits As of December 31, 2025, the Company held approxim ately $ 4.4 million in cu stomer deposits, compared to $ 3.0 million as of December 31, 2024. These deposits relate to vehicle reservations under both business and consumer programs. Business-to-business (B2B) reservations are made through non-binding pre-order deposits agreements and require fixed, non-refundable deposits that may be applied toward the purchase of a limited number of vehicles. These programs are designed to incentivize volume interest by allowing the deposits to be applied toward the purchase of a limited number of vehicles under future purchase agreements. Business-to-consumer (B2C) reservations are typically submitted on a one-to-one basis with a specific vehicle and involve refundable or promotional deposits. Customer deposits are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized as revenue upon delivery of the vehicle or resolution of the reservation in accordance with the applicable terms. Deferred Revenue When vehicle purchase agreements are executed, the consideration for the vehicle and any accompanying products and services must be paid in advance before the transfer of products or se rvices by the Company. Unlike customer deposits, which are refundable, these advance payments are non-refundable. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the vehicle or related services transfers to the customer and defers revenue only when payments are received for undelivered products or services. Deferred revenue represents the total transaction price allocated to performance obligations that remain unsatisfied or partially unsatisf ied as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 deferred revenue related to products and services wer e insignificant fo r both periods. Cost of Revenue 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. Cost of services and other revenue includes costs associated with providing non-warranty after-sales services, costs for retail merchandise, and costs to provide vehicle insurance. Cost of services and other revenue also includes direct parts and material. Cost of services and other revenue was insignificant fo r t he years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. 165 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 expenses related to leased vehicles. Warranties The Company provides 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 the Company continues to manufacture, assemble, and sell more vehicles it will reassess and evaluate its warranty claims for purposes of its warranty accrual. (in thousands) 2025 2024 Accrued warranty- beginning of period $ 545 $ 684 Provision for warranty 38 34 Warranty costs incurred ( 207 ) ( 173 ) Accrued warranty- end of period $ 376 $ 545 Research and Development Research and Development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred and are primarily comprised of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees focused on R&D activities, other related costs, license fees, and depreciation and amortization. The Company’s R&D efforts are focused on design and development of the Company’s electric vehicles and continuing to prepare the Company’s prototype electric vehicle to achieve industry standards. Advanced payments for items and services related to R&D activities have been classified as Deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included in operating activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company expenses deposits as the services are provided and prototype parts are received. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities. Additionally, these expenses include direct costs associated branding, promotional, co-creation, and publicity activities. The Company’s marketing initiatives focus on increasing brand awareness for the FF Series and FX Series, with a particular emphasis on introducing the FX Super One, FF 91, and FF 92 to the market. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees, directors and non-employees for the purchase of Common Stock. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) . ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards based on the grant date fair values of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For options with service conditions, the value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. For performance-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the expected performance achievement period of individual performance milestones when the achievement of each individual performance milestone becomes probable. 166 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions and judgments, including, but not limited to the following: • Expected term: The estimate of the expected term of awards was determined in accordance with the simplified method, which estimates the term based on an averaging of the vesting period and contractual term of the option grant for employee awards. The Company uses the contractual term for non-employee awards. • Expected volatility: The Company determines the expected volatility by weighing the historical average volatilities of publicly traded industry peers and its own trading history. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this methodology using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own Class A Common Stock price becomes available, unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to FF, in which case more suitable companies whose stock prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. • Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate used to value awards is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. • Dividend yield: The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. • Forfeiture rate: Stock-based compensation expense is reduced for forfeitures only when they occur. • Fair value of Common Stock: The closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq is used as the fair value of the Common Stock. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are anticipated to reverse. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is adjusted to reflect the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, based on the conclusion that it is more likely than not the assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $ 0.9 million and nil as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 respectively, arising from the recognition of indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the AIXC business combination during the year ended December 31, 2025. Because the underlying intangible assets have indefinite lives, the associated deferred tax liability is not available to offset deferred tax assets in the Company's assessment of the valuation allowance. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 740-10, Income Taxes , to account for uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires a two-step approach: (1) determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation; and (2) measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. The Company evaluates its tax positions based on a number of factors and may update its assessments as facts and circumstances change. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the state of California, China, and U.A.E. The income tax provision for each period represents the aggregate estimated tax expense or benefit for these jurisdictions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. These translation adjustments occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the subsidiaries' local currencies, primarily the primarily the Chinese Yuan. While the UAE Dirham is also a local currency of certain foreign subsidiaries, its impact on translation adjustments is limited because the UAE Dirham is pegged to the U.S. dollar. 167 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Recent Accounting Pronouncements In early 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued several ASUs to enhance financial reporting and provide clearer guidance on various accounting topics. As a December 31 year-end filer and a Smaller Reporting Company (“SRC”), the Company is required to adopt these ASUs in accordance with the effective dates applicable to SRCs. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these ASUs on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Below is a summary of these ASUs: Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring more detailed information regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted this guidance on prospective basis effective January 1, 2025, and the enhanced disclosure requirements are reflected in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs (“ASU 2025-06"), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the year ending December 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2025, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments . This ASU clarifies when a settlement of a convertible debt instrument should be accounted for as an induced conversion rather than a debt extinguishment. Key provisions include (a) applying a pre-existing-contract approach to assess whether the form and amount of consideration are preserved; and (b) expanding the guidance to cover certain convertible debt instruments not previously convertible. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2026 (fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025) and will first apply to the Company’s December 31, 2026 Form 10-K. Early adoption is permitted, provided ASU 2020-06 has been adopted. In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40 ). This ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional details about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2027 (fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026) and will first apply to the Company’s December 31, 2027 Form 10-K (as a public business entity, including SRCs). Early adoption is permitted. In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer . This ASU (a) revises the master-glossary definition of ‘performance condition’ to include customer-based targets; (b) eliminates the forfeiture-policy election for awards granted to customers unless exchanged for a distinct good or service; and (c) clarifies that the variable-consideration constraint in ASC 606 does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2027 (fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026) and will first apply to the Company’s December 31, 2027 Form 10-K (as a public business entity, including SRCs). Early adoption is permitted. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Update addresses stakeholders’ concerns about (1) the application of derivative accounting to contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract and (2) the diversity in accounting for share-based noncash consideration from a customer that is consideration for the transfer of goods or services. The amendments are expected to (a) reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating whether contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract are derivatives, (b) better portray the economics of those contracts in the financial statements, and (c) reduce diversity in practice resulting from the broad application of the current guidance and changing business environment. The amendments also are expected to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying the applicability of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. This update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2027 (fiscal year and interim periods 168 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning after December 15, 2026) and will first apply to the Company’s December 31, 2027 Form 10-K (as a public business entity, including SRCs). Early adoption is permitted. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. This will result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The amendments add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities. This Update will first apply to the Company’s March 31, 2028 Form 10-Q. 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern Co nditions Raising Substantial Doubt The Company has evaluated whether conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, management considered the Company’s recurring losses from operations since inception and continued cash outflows from operating activities. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has devoted, and expects to continue to devote, substantial effort and capital resources to strategic planning, engineering, design, and development of its electric vehicle platform, development of vehicle models, completion of the FF aiFactory California manufacturing facility, and capital raising activities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 4,705.0 million, unrestricted cash of $ 34.9 million, and negative working capital of $ 79.7 million. The Company has also incurred recurring net losses since inception, including a net loss of $ 397.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. These conditions contribute to the substantial doubt determination under ASC 205-40. The Company projects that it will require substantial additional funding to continue operations, advance development and future production planning related to its FF Series program, initiate production of its FX Series vehicles, and commence its planned robotics production initiative in the first quarter of 2026. If additional capital is not secured, the Company may not have sufficient resources to meet its obligations or continue operations, which could result in bankruptcy protection and asset liquidation, with equity holders receiving little to no recovery. Although management expects that the launch of the FX Series and the planned robotics initiative may support future revenue generation and operational performance, these initiatives are subject to execution, market acceptance, and funding risks, and there can be no assurance that sufficient liquidity will be generated within the next twelve months. The consolidation of AIXC did not materially improve the Company’s near-term liquidity position or alter its current working capital constraints. Although AIXC may support longer-term business initiatives, it does not alleviate the substantial doubt that exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months. Management’s Plans In accordance with ASC 205-40, management has developed plans intended to mitigate the conditions that give rise to substantial doubt. The Company has historically funded operations primarily through the issuance of notes payable, related party convertible notes (see Note 8 and Note 9), and the sale of common stock. Management intends to continue pursuing these funding sources. The Company has issued various financing arrangements collectively referred to as the SPA Portfolio Notes, including SPA Portfolio Notes , 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes , Junior Secured SPA Notes , 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes , 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes, and 2025 July Unsecured SPA Notes. As of December 31, 2025 , the SPA Portfolio Notes were in good standing. As of December 31, 2025 , SPA Commitments totaled $ 739.0 million , of which $ 503.3 million was funded, $ 186.2 million expired unfunded, $ 49.5 million remained to be funded, and $ 51.1 million in principal was outstanding. Optional Commitments totaled $ 467.0 million , of which $ 111.0 million was funded, $ 315.5 million expired unfunded, $ 40.5 million remained to be funded, and $ 23.3 million was outstanding. Remaining amounts are subject to closing conditions, including minimum share price and trading volume requirements. 169 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company may be unable to satisfy the closing conditions under the SPA Commitments or obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. The Company has implemented capital raising initiatives, including its At-The-Market (“ATM”) offering program, subject to authorized share availability and compliance with securities laws and Nasdaq listing requirements. Operational Context During 2023, the Company commenced deliveries of the FF 91. The Company is currently manufacturing the FF 91 and plans to manufacture FF 92 models within the FF Series. The FX Series was launched in 2025, beginning with the Super One model, and the Company is currently accepting reservation deposits. Series production is expected following completion of production readiness activities. In 2025, the Company also advanced initiatives in robotics and intelligent automation and continued developing digital asset initiatives. These initiatives may require additional capital and are not expected to generate near-term cash flows. Equity Issuance Constraints and ATM Program On September 26, 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement under its ATM Program permitting aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $ 90.0 million, subject to share availability and regulatory compliance. Due to the late filing of the September 30, 2025 Form 10-Q, the Company is ineligible to access the ATM Program until no earlier than December 1, 2026, assuming continued compliance with SEC reporting requirements thereafter. The Company’s ability to issue additional shares is constrained by authorized share limits and anti-dilution provisions in certain debt and equity instruments, which could increase share issuance requirements. Strategic Investment On September 29, 2025, the Company completed its investment in AIXC. This transaction was executed as part of a broader strategy to pursue non-automotive initiatives. AIXC’s historical operations were immaterial to consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025. Risks Affecting Liquidity The Company continues to explore financing alternatives; however, delays in securing funding commitments have constrained production activities. Capital raising efforts may be unsuccessful or delayed, and projections may underestimate professional fees and financing-related costs. Capital raising efforts remain subject to Nasdaq listing standards, authorized share limitations, and anti-dilution features in existing instruments. Liquidity is also influenced by supplier payment terms, advance deposit requirements, reliance on third-party partners, and capital market conditions affecting the electric vehicle industry. Elevated U.S. import tariffs on EV components sourced from China may increase manufacturing costs as production scales. While tariffs did not materially impact 2025 cost of goods sold due to limited production volume, continued reliance on China-based suppliers may increase input costs and funding needs. Going Concern Determination Despite management’s plans, the Company’s recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these Consolidated Financial Statements are issued, as contemplated by ASC 205-40. Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. 170 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 3. Business Acquisition On September 29, 2025 the Company invested $ 30.0 million in cash into AIXC as part of a larger $ 40.7 million private placement financing (the “PIPE”) round whereby AIXC issued new shares of Common and Preferred Stock to the Company and other investors. Through our investment in the PIPE the Company obtained a controlling financial interest. AIXC was a publicly traded life-sciences company focused on the development of oncology treatments. At the acquisition date, AIXC’s activities primarily consisted of research and development, intellectual property management, and related administrative functions. With this investment, AIXC is transitioning towards cryptocurrency-related business. Total issuance costs associated with the PIPE transaction were $ 3.0 million and were allocated to acquirer and other investors based on the allocation of proceeds contributed to AIXC. Through the PIPE transaction, the Company received 248,722 shares of AIXC common stock and 13,108,358 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. At issuance, only the common stock held voting rights, resulting in the Company owning approximately 7.9 % of AIXC’s outstanding voting shares. Upon stockholder approval of the share issuance on November 12, 2025, all shares were afforded voting rights. On an as-converted to common stock basis, the Company held a total of approximately 13.4 million AIXC shares, representing 57.5 % of the fully diluted share count of approximately 23.2 million shares. In connection with the PIPE transaction, total issuance costs of approximately 8.9 million were incurred, consisting of 3.0 million in cash, 0.5 million in shares of AIXC common stock issued to legal counsel, and 5.3 million in the estimated fair value of warrants issued to placement agents. Of the cash issuance costs, $ 2.2 million was allocated to the business combination and is presented as a reduction of cash acquired. The remaining 0.8 million in cash issuance costs was allocated to the follow-on NCI equity financing. All non-cash issuance costs were allocated to equity. Issuance costs allocated to equity were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. We accounted for the Business Combination using the acquisition method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC 805, “ Business Combinations ” (“ASC 805”). In accordance with valuation methodologies described in ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurement ” (“ASC 820”), the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The consideration consisted of $ 30.0 million of cash invested directly into AIXC and the fair value of the noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) in AIXC as of the acquisition date, which was $ 31.6 million. The additional $ 9.9 million, $ 10.7 million gross proceeds net of $ 0.8 million issuance cost, contemporaneous equity investments from the PIPE by third‑party and related party investors were determined to be separate transactions and were accounted for as post‑combination equity transactions under ASC 810‑10‑45‑23, rather than as part of the purchase price allocation. ASC 805 requires the acquirer to recognize the acquiree’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at their acquisition‑date fair values and to recognize identifiable intangible assets separately from goodwill when they are contractual or separable. The Company believes that the historical values of AIXC’s current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term nature. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s preliminary estimates of fair value as of the acquisition date. These estimates are subject to change during the measurement period (amounts in thousands): Description (balance sheet line item) Fair Value Cash (excludes funds from non FF PIPE Investors) 1 $ 28,878 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 343 Short term note receivable 4,348 Other receivable 2 Intangibles (in-process R&D) 3,629 Accounts payable and accruals ( 1,324 ) Warrant Liability ( 362 ) Promissory Notes ( 3,237 ) Other liabilities (deferred tax liability) ( 907 ) Net identifiable assets acquired 31,370 Consideration transferred 30,000 Fair Value of Non-Controlling Interest 31,584 Goodwill 2 $ 30,214 171 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1 Cash acquired is presented net of approximately $ 2.2 million in cash transaction-related costs incurred and paid by AIXC in connection with the PIPE. 2 In the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company impaired goodwill by $ 4.5 million. The goodwill balance as of December 31, 2025 is $ 25.8 million. The fair value of the in-process research and development intangible asset (IPR&D) of $ 3.6 million was determined using a cost approach. Given the early stage of AIXC's oncology treatment programs and the absence of revenue streams or comparable market transactions, the development costs incurred through the acquisition date were considered to represent the best estimate of the cost a market participant would incur to reproduce the asset to its current stage of development. The deferred tax liability of $ 0.9 million represents the tax effect of the difference between the acquisition-date fair value and the tax basis of the IPR&D intangible asset, calculated using the applicable enacted statutory tax rate. Noncontrolling Interests The Company did not acquire 100 % of AIXC’s outstanding equity interests. The noncontrolling interest was measured at its acquisition‑date fair value of the interests not held by the Company. NCI stemming from the business combination was calculated based on observable market data and valuation techniques. In addition NCI increased as a result of contemporaneous equity financing that was not part of the business combination. These transactions were accounted for as equity transactions with noncontrolling interest holders, which did not impact the consideration transferred, the purchase price, or goodwill recognized in the business combination. Goodwill The goodwill recorded at closing relates principally to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition under GAAP. The goodwill recognized at the acquisition date primarily reflects the impact of measuring the noncontrolling interest at fair value, which was determined using directly observable quoted prices of AIXC’s shares on the acquisition date. AIXC’s stock price on that date experienced notable volatility associated with the closing of a financing round that significantly enhanced AIXC’s liquidity. Additionally, AIXC provided an established public-company platform, including an existing registration, exchange listing, and shareholder baser. Goodwill was measured as the excess of the purchase price over net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. All of the goodwill recognized in the transaction has been assigned to the Company’s AIXC reportable segment. 4. Inventory, net (Current and non current) Inventory, net, consists of the following as of: (in thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Raw materials (net of reserves) $ 8,357 $ 27,440 Work in progress 395 46 Finished goods 199 — $ 8,951 $ 27,486 Inventory, current portion $ 3,258 $ 27,486 Inventory, non-current portion (1) $ 5,693 $ — 1) Non-current inventory presented as part of Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets The inventory reserve was $ 21.1 million and $ 3.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company increased its lower-of-cost-and-net-realizable-value inventory reserve by $ 17.8 million , respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $ 13.3 million related to market conditions such as anticipated tariffs and higher transportation costs, and approximately $ 4.6 million , related to excess and obsolete (“E&O”) inventory identified during the period. 172 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

Deposits (current and non-current) and Other Current Assets Deposits and other current assets consist of the following as of: (in thousands) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Deposits Deposits for research and development, prototype and production parts, and other $ 21,280 $ 29,318 Deposits for goods and services yet to be received (“Future Work”) 1,676 1,776 $ 22,956 $ 31,094 Deposits, current portion $ 10,499 $ 31,094 Deposits, non-current portion (1) $ 12,457 $ — Other current assets December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Prepaid expenses $ 7,117 $ 4,832 Other current assets 1,846 1,295 $ 8,963 $ 6,127 1) Non-current deposits presented as part of Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Deposits for R&D, prototype and production parts, and other related items are recognized and reported as R&D expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss when services are provided or as prototype parts are received. The Company makes deposits for inventory and property and equipment items which are classified as Deposits for goods and services yet to be received (“Future Work”). Prepaid expenses primarily consist o f software subscriptions and insurance, and Other current assets includes certain deferred expenses.

Notes Payable 174 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company has entered into notes payable agreements with third parties. The tables below summarize these agreements as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, providing details on contractual maturity dates, contractual interest rates, unpaid principal balances, fair value adjustments, original issue discounts, including proceeds allocated to warrants, and net carrying values. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Compan y obtained control of AIXC (refer to Note 3 Business Acquisition for details of the transaction). Accordingly, AIXC’s assets and liabilities, including its outstanding debt instruments, have been consolidated as of September 29, 2025. The inclusion of AIXC’s debt in the consolidated balances below reflects the fair value of such obligations recognized upon initial consolidation. Most of the Company’s notes payable are accounted for under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For instruments measured at fair value, no effective interest rate is presented, as changes in fair value capture all economic returns associated with these debt instruments. Although the stated interest rates on the SPA Portfolio Notes are 10 % or 15 %, the Company’s effective cost of capital is substantially higher. Each SPA Portfolio Note permits the holder to settle in shares at a value exceeding the stated principal and accrued interest. In addition, each noteholder receives an SPA Portfolio Warrant, and certain holders receive an Incremental Warrant. These settlement features and additional instruments have significant value and materially increase the effective cost of capital above the stated rates. Further, these instruments carry high interest rate structures and embedded economics that can result in a loss on issuance. The financial impact of the SPA Portfolio Notes is reflected in the change in fair value and loss on extinguishment line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

These are categorized as follows: (i) Secured SPA Notes; (ii) 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes; (iii) Unsecured Convertible Notes; (iv) Junior Secured SPA Notes; (v) 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes; (vi) 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes ; (vii) 2025 July Unsecured SPA Notes; (viii) Notes payable – China other; and (ix) Auto loans. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company consolidated AIXC, and accordingly recognized AIXC’s outstanding debt instruments at fair value as of the consolidation date. These obligations are included within the categories presented above. Below is a discussion of the terms, amendments, letter agreements, and financial impacts for each category of debt. Secured SPA Notes Overview and Terms Th e Secured SPA Notes were issued under the securities purchase agreement (the “Secured SPA”) dated August 14, 2022, with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (“FFSV”) acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, and purchaser, along with additional purchasers. These senior secured convertible notes are supported by a second lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Secured SPA Notes bear an annual interest rate of 10 %, increasing to 15 % if interest is paid in shares of Class A Common Stock. Principal and interest are due at maturity, unless converted earlier pursuant to the Secured SPA Notes’ conversion privileges. Issued at a 10 % original issue discount, these notes are convertible into Class A Common Stock at the lesser of a fixed conversion price or 90 % of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. The Secured SPA Notes are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and as of December 31, 2025 the fixed price conversion price was $ 1.16 . The Secured SPA Notes mature six years from each date of issuance. There were no outstanding Secured SPA Notes, as of December 31, 2025. In connection with the issuance of the Secured SPA Notes, the Company also granted to each purchaser a warrant (the “Secured SPA Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33 % of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Secured SPA Notes funded. The Secured SPA Warrants are subject to the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection as the Secured SPA Notes. The Secured SPA Warrants are indexed to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and, as such, meet the scope exception in ASC 815-40 to be classified within equity. The Company elected the fair value option afforded by ASC 825, Financial Instruments , with respect to the Secured SPA Notes because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, that meet the definition of an embedded derivative. The Company expenses transaction costs to Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company also elected to apply the fair value option for all other SPA Portfolio Notes. Amendments and Modifications The Secured SPA Notes have undergone several amendments: • Unanimous Written Consents: During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) exercised its authority via a series of written consents (the “Unanimous Written Consents”) to adjust the principal conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes as it considered desirable. The Board chose to reduce the 179 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements principal conversion price from $ 29.33 to 105 % of the listed market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of the trading day on which a conversion notice is delivered. The adjustments to the principal conversion price were temporary in nature and contractually concluded on June 30, 2024. The actions of the Board in the Unanimous Written Consents did not trigger any full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Company’s debt and equity securities. • Eleventh and Twelfth Amendments (July 11, 2024): Permitted entry into the Collateralized Loan by subordinating liens securing the Secured SPA Notes to liens under the Collateralized Loan (See Note 10, Other Financing Liabilities , Section Collateralized Loan below). • The Waiver Agreement (August 2, 2024) : Revised key financial terms of the Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes, including elimination of the Make-Whole Amount. The Make-Whole Amount was a provision that entitled noteholders to compensation for the interest they would have received had the notes been held to maturity. Additionally, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the holders agreed that accrued interest shall be due at maturity or conversion. Further, the conversion price was reduced to the lesser of (1) the conversion price then in effect, $ 29.33 , subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter) or (2) 90 % of th e VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock as of the trading day ended immediately prior to the time the conversion notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of the Waiver Agreement will apply to all Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes currently issued or issuable in the future pursuant to the Secured SPA and 2023 Unsecured SPA (as defined below). In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, the changes pursuant to the Waiver Agreement qualified as an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was substantial. Accordingly, the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the notes. Anti-Dilution Adjustments During the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company entered into dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions, that triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protections embedded in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. As a result, the fixed-price conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes and exercise price of the Secured SPA Warrants outstanding prior to such financings was reduced to a price equal to the price per share paid in the dilutive financings. On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Junior Secured SPA, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. The issuance of the Junior Secured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $ 5.24 was less than the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price. On December 21, 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant. The issuance of the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $ 1.16 was less than the Secured SPA Notes conversion price and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price. During the year ended December 31, 2025 there have not been any dilutive sale and purchase transactions affecting the Secured SPA Notes .

Details of the Waiver Agreements and their effects on the Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes are discussed in the section on Secured SPA Notes. Anti-Dilution Adjustments Throughout 2024, the Company entered into numerous dilutive sale and purchase transactions as described in the section on the Secured SPA Notes. The dilutive sale and purchase transactions applicable to the Secured SPA Notes caused the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection triggers for the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes.

Notes Payable — China The Company has outstanding debt payable to Leshi Small Loan Co., Ltd. (“Chongqing”), a related party, also known as “ Notes Payable — China.” In 2022, Chongqing agreed to modify the debt agreement, contingent on the Company making an initial payment of 10 % of the agreed upon discounted principal amount. Under the modified terms, the Company received a waiver of accrued interest, a reduction in the principal balance, and an extended repayment schedule requiring full payment of the discounted principal by December 31, 2023. However, the Company did not pay the outstanding principal amount in full by the maturity date of December 31, 2023, and as a result, in January 2024 the Company incurred substantial interest and penalties. Per the terms of the 2022 agreement, in the event of a default at maturity all outstanding interest and penalties since the inception of the original agreement reverted to Chongqing and the discounted principal balance returned to the full unpaid amount. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $ 14.1 million shown as component of Loss on settlement of related party notes payable in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the year ended December 31, 2024. In December 2024, the Company repaid $ 0.1 million an d entered into supplementary agreements with Chongqing, further restructuring its outstanding debt. The December 2024 agreements largely restored the debt to amounts outstanding prior to the default on December 31, 2023. If the Company defaults again on its payment plan with Chongqing the interest and penalties accrued since the inception of the original agreement and the note principal will revert back to Chongqing in proportion to the unpaid portion of the discounted principal balance. The agreements maintain an 18.0 % stated interest rate for the debt and establish a payment plan for periodic principal and interest payments until the revised maturity date of April 2027 . The Company accounted for the restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Debt – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debto rs . The restructuring did not result in debt extinguishment for accounting purposes, as the modified terms were not deemed substantially different under ASC 470.

Following the restructuring and subsequent principal payments, the Company's Notes Payable—China is in good standing as of December 31, 2025. Summary of Activity As of December 31, 2025, the principal value of this note payable was $ 3.8 million, compared to $ 4.4 million as of December 31, 2024.

Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its commencement if the Company is both able to identify an asset and conclude the Company has the right to control the identified asset. Leases are classified as finance or operating based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. An ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments related to the lease. The Company recognizes operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes renewal options when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised and excludes termination options. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized loan for a similar asset over a similar term. The Company’s 197 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements leases do not include any material residual value guarantees, or bargain purchase options. To the extent that the Company’s agreements have variable lease payments, the Company includes variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the measurement and classification of a lease and exclude those that depend on facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Amortization of ROU assets on finance leases is recorded on a straight-line basis within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Interest expense incurred on finance lease liabilities is recorded in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. Additionally, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, Operating lease liabilities, current portion and Operating lease liabilities, long term portion in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s lease arrangements primarily consist of corporate office, warehouse, store, and vehicle lease agreements. The leases expire on various dates through 2030. As part of the Company’s plan to expand its operations within the United Arab Emirates, the Company signed a lease on May 01, 2025 with Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone Authority (“RAKEZ”) to rent a warehouse with 10,000 square meters total rentable surface for 5 years and an annual lease payment of AED 3,800,000 . Additionally, the Company has a $ 0.5 million deposit for a future lease expected to commence in 2026 with Master Investment Group (MIG). MIG is also the holder of the July 2025 Unsecured Notes and the Junior Senior Secured Notes, which had a combined fair value of $ 2.3 million as of December 31, 2025. Incremental Lease Commitments On February 12, 2026, the Company executed a new lease agreement in El Segundo, California which will replace the Gardena lease. The El Segundo location has a total of 99,209 square feet. The initial lease term is 72 months. Estimated base rent lease payments related to this new lease total $ 16.9 million. These base rent lease payments are not included in the lease balances in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the lease has not yet commenced. See Note 19, Subsequent Events for more details. Leas e Impairment During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company vacated a leased store facility and a leased research facility while working with the landlords to negotiate the related lease terminations. As a result, the Company recognized a write-down of lease right-of-use (RO U) assets and lease liabilities in an aggregate amount of $ 8.8 million and $ 7.0 million, respectively. The Company also recognized less than $ 0.1 million in lease termination costs during 2024. The net impact of the right-of-use asset write down and lease termination costs of $ 1.8 million is reported in Impairment of long-lived assets and deposits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no lease impairments for the year ended December 31, 2025. A s a Sublease In June 2025, the Company entered into a sublease arrangement with Grow Fandor, a related party, whereby Grow Fandor leases 3,000 square feet of office space at the Gardena Corporate Office location for ten months. The area subleased constitutes roughly 2 % of the overall rentable space at the Gardena location. The monthly base rent is insignificant and is recorded as other income. Grow Fandor has evacuated the premises as of December 31, 2025 and the Company is in negotiations to resolve the outstanding balance and formalize the termination terms.

Class and Derivative Actions Zhou v. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. f/k/a Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-009914 (U.S. District Court – Central District of California). On December 23, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Exchange Act was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and its then-Chief Product and User Ecosystem Officer (who was promoted to Global Co-CEO in April 2025; On May 6, 2022, the appointed lead plaintiffs in the Zhou putative class action filed an amended complaint alleging violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, and related “control” person claims for secondary liability under those statutes, seeking unspecified damages. Following motion to dismiss briefing and the subsequent court-ordered dismissal of several of the plaintiffs’ claims, answers were filed and the parties agreed to participate in mediation. On April 27, 2023, the court granted the parties’ joint motion for a temporary stay pending mediation. The parties thereafter participated in a private mediation on June 29, 2023. After further discussions and negotiations, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the Zhou putative class action. Although denying all allegations, the Company nevertheless agreed to settle the Zhou putative class action for a non-reversionary cash payment of $ 7.5 million to be funded entirely by the Company’s insurers for the benefit of the settlement class, in exchange for the release of all claims that were or could have been asserted against the Company. The court thereafter granted preliminary approval of the settlement on November 7, 2023, and scheduled a hearing for final approval of the settlement to take place on March 18, 2024. On January 23, 2024, the ostensible lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Delaware Class Action discussed below, filed an Objection to final approval of the settlement (the “Objection”) to which the Company and the other defendants responded on March 11, 2024.

The parties stipulated to a stay of the Wallace action which was entered by the court on December 29, 2023. 200 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Each of the foregoing derivative lawsuits purported to assert claims on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors for alleged violations of the Exchange Act or for various common law claims based upon those officers’ and directors’ alleged breaches of their purported fiduciary duties owed to the Company and/or for their alleged aiding and abetting of those purported breaches, resulting in unspecified damages to the Company. The complaints were generally premised upon many of the same underlying allegations made in the Zhou putative class action. The parties to the foregoing derivative lawsuits participated in a mediation on May 13, 2024, following which they reached a settlement in principle. On July 19, 2024, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement that was filed in the California Federal Derivative Action, which incorporated all of the foregoing derivative lawsuits respectively filed in California and Delaware. On September 3, 2024, the California Federal Derivative Action Court entered an order preliminarily approving the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Preliminary Approval Order”) and provided for notice of the same to be made to Current Stockholders.

While the defendants’ motions to dismiss were pending, the Central District of California approved the Zhou putative class action settlement. On May 24, 2024, the defendants in the Consolidated Delaware Class Action filed a motion for summary judgment based upon the court-approved settlement agreement in Zhou putative class action on the grounds that among other things, the releases of that settlement agreement barred the claims in the Consolidated Delaware Class Action. On February 10, 2025, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted summary judgment and dismissed the Consolidated Delaware Class Action both in its entirety and with prejudice. Legal Proceedings Initiated by the Company The Company has determined there to be financial exposure related to an ongoing legal matter, primarily arising from the bankruptcy of a key supplier. The exposure involves previously recorded deposits and tooling equipment, which have since become subject to legal contingency considerations due to the supplier’s insolvency. The Company initially recorded $ 1.93 million in deposits and $ 12.9 million in tooling equipment in connection with its contractual relationship with a primary supplier. These amounts were originally recognized as a deposit paid for goods and services and tooling received, respectively, and continue to be reflected in their originally recorded accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, following the primary su pplier’s bankruptcy filing, these balances were identified as at risk, creating potential financial exposure for the Company. In 2024, the Company wrote-off $ 1.45 million of deposits. Additionally the Company accrued $ 1.29 million for estimated payments to maintain access to its tooling located at vendors of the key supplier (the “secondary suppliers”). In 2025, there were no additional write-offs regarding this legal matter. The Company does not expect any further financial loss related to tooling. Although the Company has title to the tooling; the secondary suppliers have possession of it. The Company anticipates establishing a direct contractual arrangement with the secondary suppliers. Once in place, these agreements are expected to provide the Company with continued access to the tooling without additional financial exposure. Legal Action Against Tesca USA and Tesca ABC On March 6, 2025, Faraday&Future Inc. (“Faraday”) filed a demand for arbitration against Tesca USA, Inc. and Tesca ABC, LLC alleging the breach of an Engineering Services Agreement (“ESA”) between Tesca USA and Faraday&Future Inc., under which Tesca USA was obligated to produce certain items related to automobile seating assembly and frame production. Pursuant to the ESA, Faraday paid Tesca USA approximately $ 36.0 million for certain parts, tooling, engineering design and 201 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements development, and other items. According to a Verified Petition Regarding Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors filed in May 2024, Tesca USA, after failing to deliver any of these products or services to Faraday, assigned all its assets to Tesca ABC, a Delaware series limited liability company. Faraday has reason to suspect that Tesca USA may have made one or more large cash transfers to Tesca Group before it commenced the Assignment for Benefit of Creditors. Faraday is seeking in excess of $ 36.0 million in damages through this arbitration. The Company is unable to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable outcome given the early stages of these legal proceedings. Other Legal Matters On January 31, 2023, Raymond Handling Solutions, Inc.

In connection with the Special Committee’s review and subsequent investigative work, the following findings were made: • In connection with the Business Combination, statements made by certain Company employees to certain investors describing the role of Mr. Yueting Jia, within the Company were inaccurate and his involvement in the management of the Company post-Business Combination was more significant than what had been represented to certain investors. • The Company’s statements leading up to the Business Combination (between the Company and Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. completed on July 21, 2021) that it had received more than 14,000 reservations for the FF 91 vehicle were potentially misleading because only several hundred of those reservations were paid, while the others (totaling 14,000 ) were unpaid indications of interest. • Consistent with the Company’s previous public disclosures regarding identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting required an upgrade in personnel and systems. • The Company’s corporate culture failed to sufficiently prioritize compliance. • Mr. Jia’s role as an intermediary in leasing certain properties which were subsequently leased to the Company was not disclosed in the Company’s corporate housing disclosures. • In preparing the Company’s related party transaction disclosures, the Company failed to investigate and identify the sources of loans received from individuals and entities associated with Company employees. In addition, the investigation found that certain individuals failed to fully disclose to individuals involved in the preparation of the Company’s SEC filings their relationships with certain related parties and affiliated entities in connection with, and following, the Business Combination, and failed to fully disclose relevant information, including but not limited to, information in connection with related parties and corporate governance to the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The investigation also found that certain individuals failed to cooperate and withheld potentially relevant information in connection with the Special Committee investigation. Among such individuals were non-executive officers or members of the 204 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements management team of the Company, and remedial action was taken with respect to such individuals based on the extent of their non-cooperation and/or withholding of information. The failure to cooperate with the investigation was taken into consideration in connection with the remedial actions outlined below with respect to Jerry Wang, and withholding of information also affected the remedial action taken with respect to Matthias Aydt. Based on the results of the investigation, the Special Committee concluded that, except as described above, the other substantive allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures that it evaluated, were not supported by the evidence reviewed. Although the investigation did not change any of the above findings with respect to the substantive allegations of inaccurate Company disclosures, the investigation did confirm the need for remedial actions to help ensure enhanced focus on compliance and disclosure within the Company. Based on the results of the Special Committee investigation and subsequent investigative work described above, the Board approved the following remedial actions designed to enhance oversight and corporate governance of the Company:  • the appointment of Susan Swenson, a former member of the Board, to the then newly created position of Executive Chairperson of the Company. • Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, the Company’s former Global CEO, reporting directly to Ms. Swenson and receiving a 25 % annual base salary reduction; • the removal of Mr. Jia as an executive officer, who would continue in his position as Chief Product & User Ecosystem Officer of the Company. Certain dual-reporting arrangements were eliminated with respect to Mr. Jia, who also was required to report directly to Ms. Swenson, a non-independent director nominated by FF Top. Please see “Risk Factors– Risks Related to our Business and Industry–Yueting Jia and FF Global, over which Mr. Jia exercises significant influence, have control over our management, business and operations, and may use this control in ways that are not aligned with our business or financial objectives or strategies or that are otherwise inconsistent with our interests. ” Mr. Jia also received a 25 % annual base salary reduction, and his role was limited from a policy-making position to focusing on (a) Product and Mobility Ecosystem and (b) Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and Advanced R&D technology. On February 26, 2023, after an assessment by the Board of the Company’s management structure, the Board approved Mr. Yueting Jia (alongside Mr. Xuefeng Chen) reporting directly to the Board, as well as FF’s product, mobility ecosystem, I.A.I., and advanced R&D technology departments reporting directly to Mr. Jia. The Board also approved the Company’s user ecosystem, capital markets, human resources and administration, corporate strategy and China departments reporting to both Mr. Jia and Mr. Xuefeng in accordance with processes and controls to be determined by the Board after consultation with the Company’s management. Based on the changes to his responsibilities within the Company, the Board determined that Mr. Jia is an “officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and an “executive officer” of the Company under Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act on April 24, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Yueting Jia as Global Co-Chief Executive Officer ("Global Co-CEO"), jointly leading the Company alongside Matthias Aydt; 205 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • Matthias Aydt, then Senior Vice President, Business Development and Product Definition and a director of the Company, and currently Global Co-CEO and a director of the Company, being placed on probation as an executive officer for a six -month period, during which period he remained a non-independent member of the Board, and which probationary period has since ended; • the appointment of Jordan Vogel as Lead Independent Director; certain changes to the composition of Board committees, including Brian Krolicki stepping down from his role as Chairman of the Board and Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and becoming a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees of the Board; Jordan Vogel stepping down from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Scott Vogel becoming the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; • the suspension without pay of Jiawei (“Jerry”) Wang, the Company’s then former Vice President, Global Capital Markets, who subsequently notified the Board of his decision to resign from the Company on April 10, 2022, but remained with the Company as a consultant and was subsequently appointed Global President of the Company on March 24, 2025; • the assessment and enhancement of Company’s policies and procedures regarding financial accounting and reporting and the upgrading of the Company’s internal control over financial accounting and reporting, including by hiring additional financial reporting and accounting support, in each case at the direction of the Audit Committee; • the implementation of enhanced controls around the Company’s contracting and related party transactions, including regular attestations by the Company’s employees with authority to bind the Company to contracts and related party transactions, for purposes of enabling the Company to make complete and accurate disclosures regarding related party transactions; • the hiring of a Compliance Officer with the title of Deputy General Counsel, to report on a dotted line to the Chair of the Audit committee, and a Director of Risks and Internal Controls; and assessing and enhancing FF’s compliance policies and procedures; • the implementation of a comprehensive training program for all directors and officers regarding, among other things, internal Company policies; • the separation of Jarret Johnson, FF’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and • certain other disciplinary actions and terminations of employment with respect to other Company employees (none of whom is an executive officer). The Company is continuing to implement certain of the remedial actions approved by the Board. However, certain of these remedial actions are no longer in effect and no assurance can be provided that those remedial measures that continue to be implemented will be implemented or at all or will be successful to prevent inaccurate disclosures in the future. Please see “ Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business and Industry – We have taken remedial measures in response to the Special Committee findings, which may be unsuccessful ” included in this Form 10-K. Certain remedial measures may not be fully implemented in light of the corporate governance agreements with FF Top and FF Global. Pursuant to the Heads of Agreement, the Company has implemented certain governance changes that impact certain of the above-discussed remedial actions. Subsequent to the Company announcing the completion of the Special Committee investigation on February 1, 2022, certain members of the management team and employees of the Company received a notice of preservation and subpoena from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC had commenced a formal investigation relating to the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. The Company, which had previously voluntarily contacted the SEC in connection with the Special Committee investigation in October 2021, is cooperating fully with the SEC’s investigation. The outcome of such an investigation is difficult to predict. The Company has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant expenses related to legal and other professional services in connection with the SEC investigation. At this stage, the Company is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of the SEC’s investigation or to estimate the range of any potential loss. In addition, in June 2022, the Company received a preliminary request for information from the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) in connection with the matters that were the subject of the Special Committee investigation. The Company has responded to that request and intends to fully cooperate with any future requests from the DOJ. On June 26, 2025, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company alleging violations of various anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC staff informed the Company that the alleged violations of anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws pertain to purported false or misleading statements in connection with the Company’s 2021 PIPE and SPAC listing, relating to (i) related party transactions, and (ii) Mr. Jia’s role in the Company. An enforcement action may seek an injunction or cease-and-desist order against future violations of provisions of the federal 206 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements securities laws, the imposition of civil monetary penalties, disgorgement or other equitable relief within the SEC’s authority, or any combination of the foregoing. On March 18, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Division of Enforcement of the SEC stating that, it does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the Company. The Company previously disclosed that the investigation related to certain matters involving its 2021 PIPE and SPAC-related transactions, and that the SEC had issued Wells Notices to the Company and certain executives. The Wells Notices were not formal charges, and the SEC Division of Enforcement has now formally informed the Company, Mr. Jia and Mr. Wang that it has concluded its investigation and is not recommending an enforcement action against any of them. Other than disclosed herein, as of the date hereof the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. 13.

There were not any dilutive events during the year ended December 31, 2025 affecting these warrants. On September 5, 2024, the Company issued the Junior Secured SPA Notes with a conversion price of $ 5.24 , which represents a dilutive issuance that triggers the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. Therefore, the exercise price of the Ares warrants and SPA Portfolio Note warrants was adjusted from $ 29.33 to $ 5.24 . On December 21, 2024, the Company issued the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes with a conversion price of $ 1.16 , which represents a dilutive issuance that triggers the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection. Therefore, the exercise price of the Ares warrants and SPA Portfolio Note warrants was adjusted from $ 5.24 to $ 1.16 . The Company accounted for the reductions in exercise price of equity classified warrant instruments as a deemed dividend (the “Deemed Dividend”). The total value of the Deemed Dividend to warrant holders during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 7.6 million. The Deemed Dividend was calculated as the change in fair value of the Ares warrant and equity classified SPA Portfolio Note warrants immediately before and immediately after the triggering events. The Company recognized the payment of the Deemed Dividend in Additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the Company’s accumulated deficit. During the year ended December 31, 2025, holders of Junior Secured SPA Warrants to purchase 190,840 shares of common stock exercised such warrants, resulting in issuance of 190,840 shares and proceeds of $ 0.2 million (exercise price of $ 1.16 ). Another 3,200,244 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in issuance of 1,958,055 shares determined using the VWAP of $ 2.99 . At the dates of exercise, the aggregate fair value of the exercised Junior Secured SPA warrants was $ 6.9 million, which was reclassified from the warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2025, holders of 2024 Unsecured SPA Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock exercised such warrants, resulting in issuance of 1,000,000 shares and proceeds of $ 1.2 million (exercise price of $ 1.22 ). Another 7,760,260 warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in issuance of 4,367,131 shares, determined using a weighted average VWAP of $ 2.83 . At the dates of exercise, the aggregate fair value of the exercised 2024 Unsecured SPA warrants was $ 13.4 million, which amount was reclassified from the warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2025, certain third party and related party holders voluntarily cancelled 44,551,199 warrants issued in connection with the Company’s SPA financings. The cancellations did not result from amendments to the SPAs, and were not accompanied by additional consideration or changes to the related debt instruments. Therefore, Management accounted for the cancellations as equity transactions, with the impact recorded to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reclassified certain SPA Portfolio Notes warrants previously recorded as liabilities to equity following a reassessment of the applicable accounting guidance under ASC 815-40. There were no warrants exercised or cancelled during the year ended December 31, 2024. Warrants - AIXC 211 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

The number of outstanding warrants to purchase the AIXCs Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2025 were as follows: Number of Warrants Exercise Price Expiration Date Preferred Warrants - AIXC 160 $ 1,270.25 Various through 2027 Other Warrants - AIXC 72,004 (a) $ 5.82 or (b) $ 6.50 Various in 2028-2029 2024 Pre-funded Warrants - AIXC 51,199 $ 0.05 Indefinite 2024 Placement Agent Warrants - AIXC 16,019 $ 7.80 September 2029 2025 Placement Agent Warrants - AIXC 1,087,266 $ 2.47 September 2030 1,226,648 The AIXC warrants consist of (i) Preferred Warrants – AIXC, Other Warrants – AIXC and 2025 Placement Agent Warrants – AIXC, which are classified as equity in AIXC’s standalone Financial Statements, and (ii) 2024 Pre-funded Warrants – AIXC and 2024 Placement Agent Warrants – AIXC, which are classified as liabilities. Other Warrants - AIXC, 2024 Placement Agent Warrants - AIXC and 2025 Placement Agent Warrants - AIXC contain full ratchet anti-dilution price protection that requires the exercise price to be adjusted if AIXC sells shares of Common Stock below the current exercise price. The liability-classified AIXC warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. These warrants were initially recognized at their respective fair values on the date the Company obtained control of AIXC and any gains or losses related to changes in fair value prior to that date were recorded in AIXC’s standalone statements of operations. The liability-classified AIXC warrants are included in the warrant liability fair value rollforward presented in Note 15 Fair Value of Financial Instruments . Insufficient Authorized Shares From time to time, certain of the Company’s equity-linked financial instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , due to the Company having insufficient authorized and unissued shares to fully settle such instruments in shares. In assessing whether it has sufficient authorized and unissued shares available for share settlement, the Company evaluates the maximum number of shares that could be required to be issued under the instrument being assessed, together with the maximum potential shares issuable under all other existing commitments that may require the issuance of shares, including convertible debt, stock options, warrants, share-based payment awards, and other equity-linked instruments, in accordance with ASC 815-40. The Company also considers instruments with legally enforceable share reserve provisions as having priority in the allocation of available shares. If the Company determines that it does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle an equity-linked instrument in shares, the Company applies a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , whereby, if reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary because the Company cannot demonstrate that it has sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the equity-linked financial instrument in shares, the Company reclassifies contracts based on a systematic and consistently applied framework that considers contractual terms, settlement timing, and the relative priority of instruments, including any legally enforceable share reservation provisions. Contracts reclassified to derivative liabilities are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, until the conditions giving rise to such derivative liability classification are resolved or the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle such contracts in shares. The Company applies the same sequencing policy to share-based compensation arrangements when it may not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to settle such arrangements in shares. 14. Stock-Based Compensation 2021 Plan In July 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan allows the Board to grant up to 5,164 incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, and other stock-based awards for the Class A Common Stock to employees, directors, and non-employees. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock available under the 2021 Plan will increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2024, and continuing until (and including) the calendar year ending December 31, 2031. 212 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Annual increases are equal to the lesser of (i) 5 percent of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) an amount determined by the Board. As of the effective date of the 2021 Plan, no further stock awards have been or will be granted under the EI Plan or STI Plan (defined below). At the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 31, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved (among other proposals) an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan by an additional 2,206,324 shares, subject to proportionate adjustment for stock splits and similar events as provided in the 2021 Plan. At the stockholder’s meeting held September 19, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Stock Incentive Plan in order to increase the number of shares of FFAI Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan by an additional 9.5 million shares. The intent of this increase is to bring authorized shares under the 2021 Plan close to industry level. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024 the Company had 260,075 and 530,131 shares of Class A Common Stock available for future issuance under the 2021 SI Plan. Option Awards As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted under the 2021 Plan was less than $ 0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period that is less than 1.00 year. Most options granted under the 2021 Plan vest over a four-year period and are contingent upon the grantee’s continued service. There were no options granted under the 2021 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted under the 2021 Plan was less than $ 0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.26 years. There were no options granted under the 2021 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2024. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 was less than $ 0.1 million and $ 2.0 million, respectively.

The STI Plan does not specify a limit on the number of stock options that may be issued under the plan. Under the terms of the STI Plan, the Company is required to reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the plan’s requirements. The Company no longer issues equity awards under this plan. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 was less than $ 0.1 million and $ 7.8 million, respectively. 214 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.

In connection with his service, Mr. Jia is eligible to receive contingent equity awards if the Company achieves certain stock price or market capitalization milestones. These awards are made outside of the Company’s existing equity incentive plans. The equity award structure consists of two phases: • Phase 1: For every $ 5.00 increase in the Company's daily closing stock price or $ 700.0 million increase in market capitalization, measured from April 23, 2025, Mr. Jia is eligible to receive restricted stock units (RSUs) equal to 1 % of the Company's outstanding shares at the time the milestone is achieved. Awards under this phase are capped at 5 % of the Company’s outstanding shares. • Phase 2: After reaching the 5 % cap under Phase 1, Mr. Jia is eligible to receive additional RSUs for each $ 20.00 increase in stock price or $ 3.0 billion increase in market capitalization, again equal to 1 % of outstanding shares per milestone, up to a cumulative total of 9 % of outstanding shares. To qualify for any award, the applicable stock price or market capitalization level must be sustained for at least 15 consecutive trading days. The effects of stock splits, dividends, mergers, or acquisitions are excluded from milestone calculations. There is no expiration date associated with achievement of the award. The award qualifies for equity accounting pursuant to the provisions of ASC 718, however, since the Company has insufficient authorized but unissued shares the award is presented as a liability within Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the period ended December 31, 2025. The fair value of Mr. Jia’s award at grant date was $ 10.3 million with an estimated total derived service period of 7.61 years, with expected milestone achievement dates between 2029 and 2032. As of December 31, 2025 the fair value of Mr. Jia’s award is $ 19.3 million with a remaining total derived service period of 6.44 years. The Company recognizes expense for Mr. Jia’s award using the accelerated attribution method. Mr. Jia’s award was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on a Geometric Brownian Motion framework. While Mr. Jia’s award is liability classified due to the Company’s insufficient authorized but unissued share reserves, the Company has made the election not to revise the estimated derived service period in connection with the periodic re-measurement of the award. Details on key assumptions and inputs used in valuing Mr. Jia’s award can be found at Note 15, Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company began recognizing expense for Mr. Jia’s market-based awards, which are in addition to his annual equity plan, at the inception of the arrangement. The compensation expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 was $ 2.4 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively. 215 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Stock-based compensation expense The following table presents stock-based compensation expense for all of the Company’s 2021 Plan, EI Plan, and STI Plan and awards outside these plans included in each respective expense category in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is as follows: (in thousands) 2025 2024 Research and development $ 124 $ 2,670 Sales and marketing 36 915 General and administrative 2,990 4,797 $ 3,150 $ 8,382 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash Equivalents The fair value of the Company’s money market funds is based on the closing price of these assets as of the reporting date, which are included in cash equivalents. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024 the Company had cash equivalent balances of $ 16.0 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively. Digital Assets The Company measures digital assets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs). Accordingly, the Company classifies its digital assets within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820. The Company utilizes pricing information provided by the principal market, which is based on observable market prices from active trading exchanges. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had digital asset balances of December 31, 2025, and 2024 the Company had digital asset balances of $ 10.3 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively. Notes Payable & Related Party Notes Payable The Company has elected to measure certain notes payable and related party notes payable at fair value. Specifically, the SPA Portfolio Notes or notes convertible into SPA Portfolio Notes as they contain embedded liquidation premiums with conversion rights that represent embedded derivatives (see Note 8, Notes Payable and Note 9, Related Party Transactions ). The Company uses a binomial lattice model and discounted cash flow methodology to value the notes carried at fair value. The significant assumptions used in the models include the volatility of the Class A Common Stock, the Company’s expectations around the full ratchet anti-dilution and other triggering events, the discount rate applied to the Notes, which incorporates a market benchmark rate and a company-specific credit spread, annual dividend yield, and the expected life of the instrument. Because the valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including the Company’s credit spread and expected triggering events, the instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value adjustments related to notes payables and related party notes payable were recorded in Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options or Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For liabilities measured under the fair value option, the portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income. The Company determines this amount by evaluating changes in the credit spread embedded in the discount rate used to value the convertible notes relative to a market benchmark rate. Changes in the benchmark component are considered market factors, while changes in the Company’s spread relative to the benchmark represent instrument-specific credit risk. During the periods presented, the Company’s credit spread did not change; accordingly, no portion of the change in fair value of the convertible notes was attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. For notes payable and related party notes payable where the Company did not elect the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the carrying value approximates the fair value of the obligation. 216 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2025 Convertible Note - AIXC The fair value of the 2025 Convertible Note - AIXC was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key inputs to the model include the AIXC’s stock price, expected equity volatility, the expected equity financing date, the contractual maturity date, risk-free interest rates, and an assessment of the Company’s credit risk. These inputs represent significant unobservable inputs and, accordingly, the instrument is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Warrant Liabilities The Company measures certain SPA Portfolio Note warrants, AIXC warrants, and Private Warrants assumed in the Business Combination, that are classified as liabilities, at fair value. The Company uses various option pricing models, including Monte Carlo simulation model, binominal lattice, and the Black Scholes model, to measure the fair value of the instruments based on the specific contractual features. Significant assumptions used in the valuation models include the volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (or AIXC’s common stock, as applicable), the Company’s expectations around potential down-round protection triggering events, contractual term, risk-free rate and expected annual dividend yield. Because the valuation of these instruments incorporates significant unobservable inputs, warrant liabilities are classified within Level 3 valuations of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value or warrant liabilities are recorded in Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options or Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss Derivative Call Options Holders of the Junior Secured SPA Notes, the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes, and 2025 March Unsecured SPA Notes were issued Incremental Warrants to purchase additional notes on the same terms and conditions up to the amounts originally funded under their commitments. The Company estimates the fair value of the Incremental Warrants using both a binomial lattice model and Monte Carlo simulation to value the Incremental Warrants as the Incremental Warrants entitle the holder to the relevant SPA Portfolio Note and SPA Portfolio Warrant upon exercise. The significant assumptions used include the volatility of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, the Company’s expectations around the full ratchet anti-dilution and other triggering events, the contractual term of the Incremental Warrants, the risk-free rate and annual dividend yield. The underlying convertible notes and the warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Incremental Warrant were assumed to be exercisable up to the maximum allowable amount. Additionally, the terms of these instruments were presumed to be consistent with those of the convertible notes and warrants issued in connection with the Incremental Warrants. Fair value measurements associated with the liability-classified derivatives represent Level 3 valuations under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value adjustments related to the Incremental Warrants were recorded in Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options or Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss . Market-based Awards In connection with his appointment as Global Co-CEO effective April 23, 2025, the Company entered into an offer letter with Yueting Jia that includes a market-based equity award, as further described in Note 14, Stock-Based Compensation . The award is contingent upon the achievement of specified stock price and market capitalization milestones and was granted outside of the Company’s existing equity incentive plans. The fair value of the award is remeasured quarterly using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on a Geometric Brownian Motion framework. Significant assumptions used in the valuation included a stock price of $ 1.02 , an effective date market capitalization of $ 76.4 million, a risk-free rate of 4.17 %, a selected equity volatility of 80.0 %, and an estimated contractual term of ten years . The remaining total derived service period for the award is 6.44 years, with expected milestone achievement dates between 2027 and 2032. The Company concluded that the award qualifies for equity classification under ASC 718. However, because the Company does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares the award is classified as liability within Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the period ended December 31, 2025 . Shares based compensation expense is recorded in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss 217 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Director Awards On August 14, 2025, the Board of Directors approved restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards with a target value of $ 150,000 for each of three non-employee directors, payable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, as further described in Note 14, Stock-Based Compensation. The closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $ 3.00 on August 14, 2025, representing an aggregate approved award value of $ 450,000 for the three directors. On December 31, 2025, the Board approved the use of the closing stock prices on August 14, 2025 and December 31, 2025 in determining the number of RSUs to be issued and authorized a make-whole adjustment to compensate the directors for the decline in the Company’s stock price between those dates. The closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $ 1.02 on December 31, 2025. At the time of approval, the Company did not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance. As a result, the Company classified these awards as liability-classified awards. The awards will continue to be accounted for as liabilities until the share sufficiency issue is resolved. The fair value of the RSU awards was determined using the quoted market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, which represents an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical securities. Accordingly, the fair value measurement is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock upon vesting and settlement. The awards vest upon the earlier of the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or April 15, 2026, subject to the director’s continued service through the applicable vesting date and stock based compensation expense is recorded in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables present financial assets and liabilities remeasured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2025 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money-market funds $ 15,957 $ — $ — Digital assets $ — $ 10,250 $ — Liabilities: Warrant liabilities 1 $ — $ — $ 1,950 Derivative call options 1 $ — $ — $ 12,546 Notes payable 1 $ — $ — $ 56,376 Market-based awards $ — $ — $ 2,371 Director awards $ 261 $ — $ — 1 Includes both related party and non-related party balances for the Company’s notes payable and warrant liabilities.

This information is presented to facilitate reconciliation to the related amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss . 3 Additions of Notes Payable measured at fair value are presented net of the initial fair value adjustment recorded at issuance. The aggregate fair value adjustment recognized at issuance reduced the principal amount of notes issued during the period by $ 24,265 thousand. This reduction reflects the allocation of total transaction proceeds between the SPA Notes and the related SPA Warrants and Incremental Warrants issued as part of the bundled transaction. In addition, the line item Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options includes a loss of $ 6,044 thousand, and the line item Change in fair value of related party notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options includes a loss of $ 189 thousand, both of which relate to debt issuance costs. These costs are separately identifiable from the fair value adjustments described above and are not included in the Additions of Notes Payable This information is presented to facilitate reconciliation to the related amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. 4 As discussed in Note 14, Stock-Based Compensation, the issuance date fair value of the Market-based award is $ 10.3 million and as of December 31, 2025 the fair value of the Market-based award was $ 19.3 million.

Deferred Tax Assets & Liabilities and Valuation Allowance The tax effects of temporary differences for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are provided below: (in thousands) 2025 2024 Deferred Tax Assets: Net operating losses (“NOL”) $ 479,820 $ 411,244 Research and development credits 4,239 4,239 Accrued liabilities and reserves 23,063 25,581 Construction in progress - Impairment 3,001 — Depreciation & impairment 19,748 — Amortization 7,724 8,803 Deposits - Impairment 2,676 — Capitalized R&D expense 27,266 53,125 Stock-based compensation 1,186 450 Transaction costs 25 35 Other 275 379 Gross deferred tax assets 569,023 503,856 Valuation allowance ( 537,852 ) ( 457,738 ) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 31,171 46,118 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Depreciation — ( 20,174 ) Indefinite-lived Intangible ( 945 ) State taxes ( 31,133 ) ( 25,944 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities ( 32,078 ) ( 46,118 ) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ ( 907 ) $ — In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. During December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company evaluated the realizability of its net deferred tax assets based on available positive and negative evidence and concluded that the likelihood of realization of the benefits associated with its net deferred tax assets does not reach the level of more likely than not due to the Company’s history of cumulative pre-tax losses and risks associated with the generation of future income given the current stage of the Company’s business. The Company has recognized a full valuation 222 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 since, in the judgment of management given the Company’s history of losses, the realization of these deferred tax assets was not considered more likely than not. The Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $ 0.9 million and $ — million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 respectively in connection with the recognition of identified intangible assets from the business acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2025. Because reversal of the indefinite-lived intangible assets cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, these liabilities cannot be used as a source of taxable income to support the realization of the deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was $ 537.9 million and $ 457.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with increases attributable primarily to the current year’s provision. and a small portion on account of AIXC acquisition accounting. Net Operating Loss Carryforwards and R&D tax credit carryforward As of December 31, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of $ 1,589.6 million, California net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1,494.3 million and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 58.0 million. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 1,508.6 million generated post the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to the 80% taxable income limitation on the utilization of the carryforwards. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 81.0 million generated prior to December 31, 2017 may be carried forward for twenty years. The California net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2034.and foreign net operating loss carryforwards have begun expiring. The Company has no U.S. federal R&D tax credit carryforwards and a state R&D tax credit carryforward of $ 4.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The U.S. state tax credits do not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) and Section 383 (“Section 383”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a cumulative change (by value) of more than 50% in the equity ownership of certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and R&D tax credits to offset post-change taxable income and post-change tax liabilities, respectively. The Company’s existing NOLs and R&D credits may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and the ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code. In addition, future changes in the Company’s stock ownership, some of which may be outside of the Company’s control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code. AIXC’s preacquisition NOLs and R&D credits are fully limited under Section 382 and Section 383 and are not included in the deferred tax assets listed in table above. Reinvestment of Earnings The Company’s intention is to indefinitely reinvest earnings in all jurisdictions outside the United States. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, there was no material cumulative earnings outside the United States due to net operating losses and the Company has no earnings and profits in any jurisdiction, that if distributed, would give rise to a material unrecorded liability. Tax Jurisdictions The Company is subject to taxation and files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, the state of California, as well as under the tax laws of the People’s Republic of China, Hong King, and the U.A.E. As of December 31, 2025, the 2022 through 2025 federal income tax returns and 2021 through 2025 state income tax returns are open to exam. However, if loss carryforwards of tax years prior to 2022 (2021 for California) are utilized in the U.S., these tax years, except those closed under previous examinations, may become subject to investigation by the tax authorities. All of the prior year income tax returns, from 2018 through 2025, are open under China tax law. The Company is not under any income tax audits. Uncertain Income Tax Position The aggregate change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, is as follows: (in thousands) 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 10,087 $ 12,972 Increase related to current year tax positions 135 389 Decrease related to prior year positions — ( 3,274 ) Ending balance $ 10,222 $ 10,087 223 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall , the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. No interest and penalties related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were accrued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company does not expect its uncertain income tax positions to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements within the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the realization of uncertain tax positions were not expected to impact the effective rate due to a full valuation allowance on related deferred taxes. On July 4, 2025, the U.S. H.R.1, an act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA introduces multiple tax law and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and U.S. taxation of international earnings. The Company has recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in the financial results to the extent they are applicable to the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions on 2026 and subsequent consolidated financial statements. 17. Net Loss per Share Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares issued and shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares, as these shares are issuable for no consideration. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares issued and shares to be issued under the commitment to issue shares for potentially dilutive instruments. The following data shows the amounts used in computing net loss per share and the effect on net loss and the weighted-average number of shares as follows: (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2025 2024 Net loss attributable to Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. $ ( 390,696 ) $ ( 355,847 ) Less: Deemed Dividend — ( 7,576 ) Net loss available to common stockholders $ ( 390,696 ) $ ( 363,423 ) Weighted average shares used in computing net loss per share of Class A and B Common Stock: Basic 124,299,591 18,529,525 Diluted 124,299,591 18,529,525 Net loss per share of Class A and B Common Stock attributable to common stockholders: Basic $ ( 3.14 ) $ ( 19.61 ) Diluted $ ( 3.14 ) $ ( 19.61 ) The net loss per common share was the same for the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock because they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights and are therefore combined in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Potentially Dilutive Shares The Company reported net losses for all periods presented, resulting in all potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents being considered antidilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. The Company’s Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into Class A Common Stock and does not participate in the Company’s earnings and, therefore, is not a potentially dilutive security under ASC 260. 224 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The table below presents the potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Common Stock attributable to Common Stock stockholders due to their antidilutive effect: 2025 2024 Shares issuable upon conversion of SPA Portfolio Notes 72,340,661 41,054,586 Shares issuable upon conversion of Unsecured Convertible Notes 5,153,894 749,866 Shares issuable upon exercise of equity classified SPA Portfolio Note warrants 12,907,897 15,238 Shares issuable upon exercise of liability classified SPA Portfolio Note warrants 3,129,648 16,720,384 Other warrants 5,776,657 5,776,657 Stock-based compensation awards – Options 2,263 2,591 Stock-based compensation awards – RSUs 6,095 161,225 Public warrants 2,453 2,453 Private warrants 12 12 99,319,580 64,483,012 18. Segment Information The Company has two reportable segments: AI Electric Vehicles (“AIEV”) and AIXC. Our reportable segments are based upon the industries where the Company commercializes its products and services. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has strategically allocated its resources in the electric vehicle and digital asset markets. Furthermore, our reportable segments reflect how we report our financial results to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Our CODM is the Global Co-CEO who is responsible for reviewing segment performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. “Loss from operations” is the segment performance measurement that the CODM reviews for both segments and the Company identified the same measurement as the key measure of “significant segment expense.” 225 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The following table presents revenues, expenditures and loss from operations data of the Company and its reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that t he Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Subsequent SPA Portfolio Notes Activity Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company received gross proceeds in connection with issuance of SPA Portfolio Notes to third parties totaling $ 8.7 million, with maturity period of five or six years and 10.00 % or 15.00 % interest. Principal and accrued interest are convertible at the option of the holder into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of a) stated conversion price or b) lowest VWAP of the five trading days immediately prior to the day on which lender provides conversion notice or 90 % of the previous trading day VWAP. Additionally, $ 16.3 million of principal and $ 0.8 million of interest of the Company’s SPA Portfolio Notes were converted into 35,576,389 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. 226 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Securities Purchase Agreement and Entrusted Investment Agreement On January 30, 2026 (the “Signing Date”), subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Gold King Arthur Holding Limited (“GKA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and GKA agreed to purchase, an aggregate of $ 10.0 million (the “Subscription Amount”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). The number of shares to be issued (the “Subject Shares”) will be determined based on a per share purchase price equal to 100 % of the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on the trading day immediately prior to the closing date. The closing of the SPA is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The SPA includes customary provisions, including anti-dilution true-up share issuance provisions in the event of certain dilutive issuances, registration rights requiring the Company to file a resale registration statement covering the Subject Shares, and customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations. On the signing date, AIxCrypto Holdings Inc. (“AIXC”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Entrusted Investment Agreement with GKA in connection with the SPA. Pursuant to the Entrusted Investment Agreement, GKA was entrusted to acquire, hold, manage, tokenize and potentially dispose of the Subject Shares on AIXC’s behalf. The Subscription Amount was funded in full by AIXC, with GKA acting as investment manager in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the Subject Shares. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the closing of the SPA had not occurred. The Company will evaluate the accounting treatment at the time of closing of the transaction. Engineering Service Agreement On February 4, 2026, GlobeX AI Hong Kong Holding Limited (“GlobeX”), a special purpose entity controlled by the Company, entered into a strategic cooperation agreement and an engineering services agreement with a third-party automotive partner in connection with the development and manufacturing support for a battery electric version of the FF Super One intended for the United States market. Under the agreements, the partner will supply vehicle modules and provide engineering services supporting research and development, certification, manufacturing preparation, and production operations. GlobeX may be required to make installment payments for research and development services, including a non-refundable advance payment of approximately 300 million RMB (approximately $ 43 million) payable within six months of the signing date and remaining milestone payments totaling approximately 320 million RMB (approximately $ 46 million). Because the agreements were executed after December 31, 2025, they are treated as a non-recognized subsequent event under ASC 855, and no amounts related to these agreements were recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025. Battery Sales Agreement On February 6, 2026, the Company entered into an amended goods sale and purchase agreement with a third-party customer for the sale of certain high-voltage battery packs held in inventory. The agreement established a total purchase price of 130.1 million RMB (approximately $ 1.7 million) and provides for delivery of the battery packs in multiple batches beginning in February 2026. Management evaluated the agreement as additional evidence of market conditions that existed as of December 31, 2025 affecting the net realizable value of the related inventory. Accordingly, the Company considered this information in its lower of cost or net realizable value analysis performed as of December 31, 2025, and the related inventory reserve recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects those conditions, as discussed in Note 4, Inventory . El Segundo, California Lease On February 12, 2026, the Company executed a new lease agreement in El Segundo, California which will replace the Gardena lease. The El Segundo location has a total of 99,209 square feet, and the initial lease term is 72 months. Because the lease was executed after December 31, 2025, no amounts related to this lease were recognized as of year end; however, future base rent payments under the executed lease are estimated to total approximately $ 16.9 million. Increase in Authorized Shares On February 13, 2026, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares to support capital planning, FX Super One vehicle milestones, and expansion of embodied artificial intelligence (“EAI”) robotics initiatives. On February 18, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to increase its authorized Class A common stock from 232,470,985 shares to 312,285,439 shares and its authorized 227 Table of Conten t s Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements preferred stock from 17,931,000 shares to 24,087,265 shares. The additional authorized share capacity is intended to support near-term capital planning needs, existing obligations to issue shares of Class A common stock, and potential future financings, strategic transactions, stock issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans, and other proper corporate purposes aligned with the Company’s 2026 business strategy. The approval relates solely to the authorization of additional shares and does not, by itself, result in the issuance of any shares. Elimination of Series A Preferred Stock On February 18, 2026, the Company filed a certificate of elimination with respect to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, following the automatic redemption of all outstanding shares of FFAI Series A Preferred Stock after the conclusion of the Company’s stockholders’ special meeting. The certificate of elimination (i) eliminated the previous designation of one share of FFAI Series A Preferred Stock from the charter, and (ii) caused such share of FFAI Series A Preferred Stock to resume its status as an authorized but unissued and non-designated share of preferred stock. Departure of a Director On February 26, 2026, Chui Tin Mok, an executive member of the Board of the Company, notified the Board of his intention to resign as a director of the Company upon the Board’s confirmation of a successor nominee in order to focus his time and efforts on the Company’s business execution in the United Arab Emirates and the broader Middle East. Mr. Mok will continue to serve as an executive officer of the Company and as Head of FF Middle East. Supplemental Agreements with Chongqing LeTV Microloan Co., Ltd. On March 6, 2026, the Company entered into two supplemental agreements with Chongqing LeTV Microloan Co., Ltd. to settle certain previously assigned debt obligations for an aggregate settlement amount of CNY 25.4 million (approximately $ 3.5 million), payable in installments through December 31, 2028. In connection with these agreements, certain penalty provisions were eliminated, which is expected to result in the reversal, in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, of approximately $ 19.9 million of accrued interest and penalties that were included in related party accrued interest as of December 31, 2025. Because these agreements were executed after December 31, 2025, no adjustment was recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Conversion of AIXC Series B Preferred Shares On March 18, 2026, the Company converted all 29,441 Series B preferred shares of AIXC into 13,108,357 shares of AIXC common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Non-Compliance Notice On March 20, 2026, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), because the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock remained below $ 1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. The Company has until September 16, 2026 to regain compliance. During this compliance period, the Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. 228 Table of Contents Item 9.
