ROMEO POWER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Description


1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Romeo Power, Inc. designs, engineers, and manufactures lithium-ion cylindrical battery packs for EVs and energy storage solutions, with a focus on battery innovation, functionality, energy density, safety, and performance. We are headquartered in Vernon, California.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “Romeo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the combined company and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination and “Legacy Romeo” refers to Romeo Systems, Inc.
Acquisition of Organization and Business Operations

RMG Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 22, 2018 (date of inception) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, it intends to focus its search for a target businessBorgWarner’s Ownership in the diversified resourcesBorgWarner Romeo Power LLC


In May 2019, Legacy Romeo and industrial materials sectors. The Company is an emerging growth companyBorgWarner formed BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC (“the JV” or “BorgWarner JV”). On October 25, 2021, BorgWarner exercised its rights under the JV Agreement to put its ownership interest in the JV to Romeo. Following agreed upon steps related to the put process, Romeo acquired BorgWarner’s 60% ownership interest in the JV pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) on February 4, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement Closing Date”). Upon acquiring the additional 60% of the JV, Romeo owned 100% interest of the JV. Romeo subsequently dissolved the JV, effective February 11, 2022, and as such, the Company is subject todistributed all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

JV’s assets, including its rights under Romeo’s intellectual property, to Romeo. As a result, Romeo has recaptured all of the rights under its intellectual property that it had previously been licensed to the JV under the Intellectual Property License Agreement (the “IP License”). Consequently, we now have the right to exploit all of our intellectual property in all fields of use and all geographic markets. Further, by dissolving the JV and terminating the IP License, we also assumed full, unilateral control of our R&D budget and related activities.


The Company accounted for the Purchase Agreement as an asset acquisition, as it was determined that the acquired JV did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total consideration transferred has been allocated to the non-monetary assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair value.

As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the non-marketable equity investment was $1.3 million, representing the Company’s contributions to the JV offset by the Company’s share of equity method investee losses, and is presented as equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheet. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the JV had no revenue and recorded a net loss of $0.7 million up to the time of the acquisition which was February 4, 2022. The Company reflected its 40% share of the JV’s losses as loss in equity method investments in the consolidated statements of operations through the Purchase Agreement Closing Date.

Prior to the Purchase Agreement Closing Date, the unconsolidated balance sheet of the JV had total assets of $3.0 million, total liabilities of $0.3 million and total equity of $2.7 million.

The following table presents the components of the consideration transferred at the Purchase Agreement Closing Date (in thousands):

DescriptionPurchase Consideration
Cash transferred$28,614 
Carrying amount of the Company’s equity method investment in the JV1,057 
Transaction costs8,446 
Total$38,117 

The primary asset acquired in the Purchase Agreement constitutes an in-process research and development asset (“IPR&D”). Due to the nature of the other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the tangible net assets acquired, the remaining cost was allocated solely to the IPR&D. The Company recorded a charge of $35.4 million to acquired in-process research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the Purchase Agreement Closing Date because the Company determined that the IPR&D asset had no alternative future use that is distinct and different from the Company’s existing research and development.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements include the results of Romeo Power, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated and the effect of variable interest entities have been considered in the consolidation.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company2022, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 22, 2018 (datecash and cash equivalents, and investments of inception) through$41.3 million and $25.5 million, respectively. We have recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $252.6 million as of March 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is RMG Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 12, 2019.2022. On February 12, 2019, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering15, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), which is an affiliate of 20,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), and onFebruary 19, 2019, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotmentsat $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $230 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.4 million, inclusive of $8.05 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 6). 

Simultaneously with the closingYorkville Advisors.Under terms of the Initial Public Offering,SEPA, we have the Company consummatedright, but not the private placement (“Private Placement”)obligation, to sell up to $350.0 million of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a pricecommon equity to an affiliate of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placementYorkville Advisors, subject to the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors (as defined in Note 3), generating gross proceeds of $6.0 million (Note 4). In connection with the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors purchased an additional 600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which generated additional gross proceeds of $900,000.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, $230 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account)certain limitations, at the time of our choosing during the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or moretwo-year term of the outstanding voting securitiesagreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 16.7 million shares of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficientCommon Stock to Yorkville for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Despite the access to liquidity resulting from sales of common stock under the SEPA, as a Business Combination either (i)result of continuing anticipated operating cash outflows, capital expenditures, amounts paid to BorgWarner in connection withFebruary 2022, and costs to support future growth, we believe that substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a stockholder meeting called to approvegoing concern for 12 months from the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or February 12, 2021 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

RMG ACQUSITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor, officers or directors acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Emerging Growth Company

1, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).


Use of Estimates

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as definedpreparation of financial statements in Section 2(a) ofconformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions for the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modifiedreporting periods covered by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Actfinancial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”),assets, liabilities, revenues and it may take advantageexpenses and the disclosure of certain exemptionscontingent liabilities. Actual amounts could differ from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has irrevocably elected to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, will adopt the new or revised standard at the time public companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another emerging growth company which has not opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The Company accountsOur Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Revenues of comparative prior period in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income are reclassified to conform with our current revenue presentation. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have combined related party revenues with product revenues and service revenues and disclosed the amount of related party revenues in a captioned note.

Revenues of comparative prior period presented in Note 3 are reclassified to conform with our current revenue presentation. We present disaggregated revenue by product and service instead of further disaggregating product by battery packs and modules.

Immaterial Correction of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we identified a misstatement in our accounting for its Class A commonperformance and market-based options granted in 2020 to our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who was awarded 4,633,978 stock options at an exercise price of $6.69 per share. All shares covered by such award were subject to possible redemptiontime based, performance and market condition vesting requirements.

As of December 29, 2020, the date of the Business Combination, the performance condition was satisfied (the “Performance Condition Date”), and we began recognizing stock-based compensation expense, based on the fair value of the award at August 12, 2020 which was the stock option grant date (the “Grant Date”). We recognized expense prospectively, over the remaining requisite service period, which was six months from the date of the Business Combinationand included the period of December 29, 2020 through June 27, 2021.

However, in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2019, 21,880,163 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Stock

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, we should have recognized a cumulative catch-up adjustment upon the performance condition being satisfied on December 29, 2020 for the services rendered from the Grant Date through the Performance Condition Date. This resulted in an understatement of $4.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, included within selling, general and administrative expense and additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2020 and a subsequent overstatement of stock-based compensation expense, included within selling, general and administrative expense, during the interim periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.


The Company evaluated the materiality of the error both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and determined the effect of the correction was not material to the previously issued financial statements.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2021 Form 10-K, the Company has the following significant accounting policies.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and lease ROU assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate, and consider other factors regarding the Company’s future performance including revenue growth, sales backlog, commercial market size and market share, production capabilities and historical equity market capitalization of the Company. If the asset or asset group is not recoverable, its carrying amount would be adjusted down to its fair value. As of March 31, 2022, the Company identified an indicator of impairment of the long-lived assets, but determined based on future undiscounted cash flow estimates and other factors noted above that the asset group is recoverable. Potential impairment charges may be required in the future if the Company’s current forecasts are significantly reduced or not realized.

Derivative Accounting for the SEPA—We issued 16.7 million shares of Common Stock to Yorkville for cash proceeds of $25.0 million with a portion of the shares issued as non-cash stock purchase discount under the SEPA during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $350 million of Common Stock to Yorkville, subject to certain limitations, at the time of our choosing during the two-year term of the agreement. The Company determined that SEPA represents a derivative financial instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which should be recorded at fair value at inception and each reporting date thereafter. The financial instrument was classified as a derivative asset with a fair value of zero at the inception of the SEPA and as of March 31, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. Under ASU 2021-08, an acquirer must recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss)606. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2022 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 , Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options ( Subtopic 470-20 )andDerivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ( Subtopic 815-40 ): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendment also simplifies the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendment revises the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity's ability to rebut the presumption. ASU 2020-06 may be adopted through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition.We adopted ASC 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recently issued accounting updates are either not expected to have a material impact or are not relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets relate to payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations under our contracts and are realized when the associated revenue is computedrecognized under the contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, changes in contract liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended
March 31, 2022
Beginning balance$384 
Revenues recognized(72)
Increase due to billings19 
Ending balance$331 

Contract liabilities are earned as services and prototypes are transferred to the customer. The remaining contract liability balance as of March 31, 2022 is expected to be earned and recognized as revenue within the next 12 months.
Backlog

As of March 31, 2022, we had executed certain contracts with customers to deliver specific battery packs, modules, and battery management system and software services. These contracts contain minimum quantity purchase requirements that are non-cancellable (other than for a breach by dividingRomeo), and we have enforceable rights to pursue payments due under these contracts under make-whole provisions, or through customary remedies for breach of contract if the minimum quantities are not ordered. The following table presents the non-cancellable minimum purchase commitments under such contracts as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Contractual Minimum Purchase Commitments
Purchase contracts with make-whole provisions (1)
$316,629 
Purchase contracts with provisions of customary remedies for breach of contract (2)
95,379 
Total$412,008 

(1)     For approximately $316.6 million of unsatisfied performance obligations related to minimum quantity purchase commitments, if the customers do not follow through on their minimum purchase commitments, we would receive a maximum of $297.4 million under certain make-whole provisions included in these contracts.

(2) For the remaining $95.4 million of unsatisfied performance obligations related to minimum quantity purchase commitments included in these contracts, if the customers do not follow through on their minimum purchase commitments, we would seek damages through customary remedies for breach of contract.

The following table presents the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Revenues Expected
To be Recognized
April 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022$33,429 
January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024278,273 
Thereafter100,306

permitted by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

Disaggregation of Revenues
We earn revenue through the sale of products and services. Product and service lines are the disaggregation of revenues primarily used by management, as this disaggregation allows for the evaluation of market trends, and certain product lines and services vary in recurring versus non-recurring nature. We do not have any material sales outside of North America.

The following table disaggregates revenues by when control is transferred for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,

Work-in-process2,983 1,364 
Finished goods704 434 
Total inventories $34,129 $37,125 

We provide inventory write downs for slow-moving and obsolete inventory items when the net incomerealizable value of inventory items is less than their carrying value. The Company then evaluates the carrying value of the remaining raw materials inventories based on the market resale value assumption using recent purchase information, supplier quotes or reputable third-party sources for market price. Work in progress is valued at an estimate of cost, including attributable overheads, based on stage of completion. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $3.3 million and $0.4 million inventory provision, respectively, in cost of revenues.

5.       EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

BorgWarner Romeo Power LLC
Legacy Romeo and BorgWarner formed the JV on June 28, 2019. Legacy Romeo and BorgWarner received a 40% interest and 60% interest in the JV, respectively. Subsequently, Legacy Romeo and BorgWarner agreed to contribute an additional $10.0 million in total to the Joint Venture which represented funding for 2021 capital needs. In January 2021, we invested $4.0 million in the JV, which represented our pro rata share of the agreed upon funding. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded our share of the net loss of the JV as “Loss in equity method investments” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. For information on our transactions with the JV, see Note 14 - Transactions with Related Parties. On October 25, 2021, BorgWarner elected to exercise a right under the Joint Venture Operating Agreement, dated May 6, 2019 (the “Operating Agreement”), to put its 60% ownership stake in the JV to the Company.

Heritage Battery Recycling, LLC
On October 2, 2020, we entered into a Battery Recycling Agreement (the “Battery Recycling Arrangement”) with Heritage Battery Recycling, LLC (“HBR”), an affiliate of Heritage Environmental Services, Inc. (“HES”). Under the Battery Recycling Arrangement, HBR has agreed to design, build and operate a system for redeploying, recycling or disposing of lithium-ion batteries (the “System”) to be located at HES’s facility in Arizona. Immediately following the Business Combination on December 29, 2020, we contributed $35.0 million to HBR, a related party to an investor in Legacy Romeo and an investor of $25.0 million in the private placement of shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) that were sold in connection with the Business Combination. While the arrangement is in effect, it establishes a strategic arrangement with HES for the collection of our battery packs for recycling, and it gives our customers priority at the recycling facility. We also have agreed to fund, in principal, up to $10.0 million for a pilot program that, if successful, could lead to the purchase of commercial vehicles containing Romeo batteries by HBR’s affiliate. The terms of the weighted averagepilot program have not yet been finalized and reflected in an executed agreement.
As of March 31, 2022, HBR had not yet begun construction of the battery recycling facility or begun operation of the System. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, there are no profits or losses from our equity method investment to be recognized in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

6.  PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS

In February 2019, in connection with the RMG initial public offering (the “RMG IPO”), RMG issued 7,666,648 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the RMG IPO, RMG issued 4,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Public and Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share, to RMG Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc., and certain funds and accounts managed by Alta Fundamental Advisers LLC.
On February 16, 2021, we announced the redemption of all of the outstanding Public Warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock, that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated February 7, 2019, by and between RMG and American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent. All Public Warrants could be exercised until April 5, 2021 to purchase shares of our Common Stock, at the exercise price of $11.50 per share, and any Public Warrants that remained unexercised were voided and no longer exercisable. On April 5, 2021, 7,223,683 Public Warrants were redeemed at the redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant. The Company paid Public Warrant holders a total of $72,237 in connection with the redemption.

The Public and Private Placement warrants are recorded as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had 3,178,202 Private Placement Warrants and no Public Warrants outstanding.

7.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2020 Stock Plan

On December 29, 2020, our stockholders approved the Romeo Power, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to attract, retain, incentivize and reward top talent through stock ownership, to improve operating and financial performance and strengthen the mutuality of interest between eligible award recipients and stockholders.

The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards (“RSU”s), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, and performance-based stock unit awards (“PSU”s) (collectively, “stock awards”) and cash awards. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees, including officers, and the employees of our subsidiaries. All other stock awards and cash awards may be granted to our employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

As a result, diluted earnings per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common stock, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock and any working capital loans, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Net Income per Common Stock

The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to Class A common stock subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account (less applicable taxes) and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per Class A common stock is calculated as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Trading securities are presentedvesting commencement date and the remaining shares vest equally over eight quarters thereafter.


The PSUs vest after three years from the commencement date based on the balance sheetsachievement of the either certain predetermined performance goals or market goals, and are payable in cash or shares of our Common Stock, at fair valueour election. The market based goal is measured by the 100-trading-day average stock closing price at the end of each reportingthe 2021 to 2023 performance period, and total stockholder’ return (“TSR”) of the Company relative to the TSRs of a selected public company peer group at the end of the 2022 to 2024 performance period. GainsThe performance-based goal is measured by the achievement of certain internal operations results for the first fiscal year of the respective three-year performance period commencing when the PSUs are granted. The performance-based measurements for the 2021 to 2023 performance period include backlog targets and losses resultingpercentage reductions in bill-of-material costs per Kilowatt-Hour for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The performance-based measurements for the 2022 to 2024 performance period include revenue targets and percentage of first-pass manufacturing yield of certain battery modules we manufacture for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The actual number of shares to be issued for the PSUs will be the higher of the market-based vesting percentage or the performance-based vesting percentage, subject to a market-based limitation, and can range from 0% to 200% of the change intarget number of shares set at the time of grant. For the period ended on December 31, 2021, the market-based valuation exceeded the performance based results. Stock-based compensation expense for the PSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period based upon the value determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method for the market goal plus an incremental value, if any, determined by expected achievement of the performance-based goals. The Monte Carlo valuation method incorporates stock price correlation and other variables over the time horizons matching the performance periods. For the performance goals measured by revenue targets and percentage of first-pass manufacturing yield of certain battery modules, management will review and assess the achievement of the performance-based goals quarterly through the performance assessment period ending December 31, 2022.

10. FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, definesof Financial Instruments — The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and requires disclosures aboutestablishes the disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received forin the sale of an asset or paid forto transfer of a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementreporting date. GAAPThe accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair valuethree-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjustedvalue as follows:


Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Levelthat we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs—Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, measurements)that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the lowest priorityasset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs reflecting our assessment of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We develop these inputs based on the best information available.
Our available-for-sale debt investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, consisting of investment grade high quality fixed income assets, which are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or unbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data, which represents a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The Public and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We will continue to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

·Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instrumentsadjust these liabilities for changes in active markets;

·Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

·Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

ASC 825,Financial Instruments, requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 180 days or less. The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred of approximately $13.4 million that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. These costs were charged to stockholder’s equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in February 2019.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were deemed immaterial as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate for the period of 29% exceeds the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and local income taxes.

RMG ACQUSITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02,Leases, (“ASC 842”) which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with an initial term longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized an ROU asset or lease liability as of March 31, 2019.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted classified as liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the current quarter, effective January 1, 2019. As a result, the warrants issued in February 2019, in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement were equity-classified.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect onWarrants until the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

On February 12, 2019, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). On February 19, 2019, the underwriters fullywarrants are exercised, their over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $30.0 million. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Of the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, an aggregate of 2,530,000 Units were purchased by certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. and certain funds and accounts managed by Alta Fundamental Advisers LLC (together, the “Anchor Investors”).

A portion of the net proceeds from the Private Placement was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On November 6, 2018, the Sponsor purchased 7,187,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), for an aggregate price of $25,000. On December 17, 2018, the Company effectuated an 0.8-for-1 reverse split of the Founder Shares, resulting in an aggregate outstanding amount of 5,750,000 Founder Shares. In January 2019, the Sponsor forfeited to the Company 575,000 Founder Shares and the Anchor Investors purchased from the Company 575,000 Founder Shares for cash consideration of approximately $2,300. Additionally, the Sponsor had agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. On February 19, 2019, the underwriters fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions.

Related Party Reimbursements and Loans

The Sponsor and the management agreed to cover expenses related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“Expenses Reimbursement”), and expected to be reimbursed upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $153,000 under the Expenses Reimbursement and fully repaid this amount to the related parties as of March 31, 2019.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds held in the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination is not completed, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 19, 2019, the underwriters fully exercised its over-allotment option.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.6 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $8.05 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Lease Agreement

In November 2018, the Company entered into a six-month lease agreement from January 15, 2019 to July 31, 2019 for its office space in New York. The agreement calls for a monthly rent of $10,000 and a security deposit of $20,000. The Company recorded the security deposit and January 2019 rent payment of approximately $25,000 in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, $20,000 related to the security deposit was recorded in Prepaid expenses and other assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded rent expense of approximately $30,000.

Deferred legal fees

The Company entered into an engagement letter to obtain legal advisory services, pursuant to which the legal counsel agreed to defer all fees until the closing of a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an aggregate of $450,000 and $300,000 in connection with such arrangement in deferred legal fees in the accompanying balance sheet, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Of the 5,750,000 Class B common stock outstanding, up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock would have collectively owned 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. On February 19, 2019, the underwriters fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, 750,000 shares of Class B common stock were no longer subject to forfeiture. As a result, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, except as required by law.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject to further adjustment.

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Warrants — Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, the Company issued the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of   (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exerciseredemption of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration ofApril 5, 2021, the Public Warrants in accordance withwere traded on the provisionsNYSE and were recorded at fair value using the closing stock price as of the warrant agreement.

The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires inputs such as the fair value of our Common Stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected dividend yield and expected volatility. The fair value of our Common Stock is considered a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally,Level 1 input as our Common Stock is freely traded on the NYSE. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined by using the U.S. Treasury rates of the same period as the expected term of the Private Placement Warrants, willwhich is 3.75 years. The dividend yield assumption is based on the dividends expected to be non-redeemable so longpaid over the expected life of the warrant. Our volatility is derived from several publicly traded peer companies.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

·in whole and not in part;

·at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

·upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

Additionally, commencing ninety days after the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants) in whole and not in part, for the number of Class A common stock determined by reference to the table set forth in the Company’s prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A common stock, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption and if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders. The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock is the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share capitalization, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. If, in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company issues additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock for capital raising purposes at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted to be equal to 115% of the price received in the new issuance. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 in recognizing the warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As a result, this exercise price reset provision was excluded from the assessment of whether the warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. The warrants otherwise meet the requirements for equity classification, as such were initially classified in stockholder’s equity during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company will recognize the value of the exercise price reset provision if and when it becomes triggered, by recognizing the value of the effect of the exercise price reset as a deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share.

Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants shares. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Company did not identify any subsequent eventskey components and materials used in our battery modules and packs, such as battery cells, electrical components, electromechanical components, mechanical components and enclosure materials. Some of the components used in our battery modules and packs are purchased by us from single sources. While we believe that wouldwe may be able to establish alternative supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacement components for our single-sourced components, we may be unable to do so in the short term (or at all) at prices or quality levels that are favorable to us, which could have required adjustmenta material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, and future prospects. Furthermore, in certain cases, the establishment of an alternative supply relationship could require us to visit a new supplier’s facilities in order to qualify the supplier and perform supplier quality audits, which process may be hampered depending on travel restrictions or facility closures due to the financial statementsongoing Covid-19 pandemic. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, seven third-party suppliers of key single-sourced components and materials used in our battery modules and packs represented 23% of our total purchases during the period.


We are dependent on the continued supply of battery cells for our products, and we may require more cells to grow our business according to our plans. Currently, the overall supply of battery cells that we utilize in our manufacturing process has been constrained by high market demand when compared to available supply. We currently purchase our cylindrical battery cells from two Tier 1 cylindrical battery cell suppliers, whose cells are qualified for use in EV applications. To date, we have only fully qualified a very limited number of additional suppliers and have limited flexibility in changing battery cell suppliers, though we are actively engaged in activities to qualify additional battery cell suppliers for use in EV applications. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 38% of our total purchases for components of our products were for battery cells, of which 90% of the battery cell purchases were concentrated with two Tier 1 suppliers. We may purchase our battery cells either directly from the cell supplier or disclosurethrough a distributor.

Transactions with BorgWarner and the JV

In connection with Legacy Romeo’s investment in the footnotes.

JV formed on June 28, 2019 (Note 5), Legacy Romeo entered into a services agreement to provide various professional services to the JV. We have also sold certain products directly to a subsidiary of BorgWarner. On February 4, 2022, we acquired BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV, which was subsequently dissolved on February 11, 2022. For further information on our acquisition of BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV, see Note 1. Revenues earned for services rendered to the JV and products sold to BorgWarner were presented in the table above. Accounts receivable from BorgWarner JV was zero and $0.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.


Transactions with Heritage Environmental Services and its related parties
On October 2, 2020, we entered into the Battery Recycling Arrangement with HBR, an affiliate of HES, a related party to an investor in Legacy Romeo and an investor of $25.0 million in the PIPE Shares. Immediately following the Business Combination on December 29, 2020, we contributed $35.0 million to HBR. See Note 5 for additional information relating to our contribution to HBR.

In connection with the Battery Recycling Arrangement, we also agreed to fund up to $10.0 million to purchase 10 battery electric vehicle (“BEV”) trucks and the charging infrastructure for a one-year pilot program to determine the feasibility of transitioning HES’s or its affiliates’ fleet of trucks from diesel powered vehicles to BEVs. If such pilot program is successful, the parties would enter into an agreement for the procurement through us of at least 500 BEVs on terms acceptable to HBR, HES and us. The participants in the pilot program have been selected, and the parties have entered into agreements to support the pilot program. Development of batteries for the program is underway, and the pilot program is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $0.3 million and no selling, general and administrative expenses incurred for the pilot program, respectively.

Transactions with Michael Patterson and related parties

On April 15, 2021, Michael Patterson ended his employment with Romeo, resigned from all positions he used to hold in the Company, the Board of Directors and the BorgWarner JV board of directors, and we entered into a consulting agreement with him for services to be provided through the end of 2021. On May 5, 2021, we signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Crane Carrier Company (“CCC”) to explore the terms of a potential commercial relationship in which we would supply batteries to CCC for its electric refuse trucks. CCC was recently acquired by Battle Motors, a company founded by Michael Patterson, and Mr. Patterson is the Chief Executive Officer of both CCC and Battle Motors.

15.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation
We are subject to certain claims and legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Management does not expect any such claims and legal actions to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, except the following:

Chelico Litigation

A police officer was injured in connection with an automobile accident resulting from an allegedly intoxicated Legacy Romeo employee driving following his departure from a 2017 company holiday party that occurred after hours and not on our premises. We terminated the employee’s employment shortly after the incident occurred. This matter resulted in a personal injury lawsuit (Chelico et al. v. Romeo Systems, Inc., et al., Case # 18STCV04589, Los Angeles County), for which we are a named defendant. In July 2020, we settled this matter in principle and agreed to pay a settlement of $6.0 million. Correspondence that we believe constituted a legally enforceable agreement was exchanged on July 22, 2020. Our business and umbrella insurance carriers agreed to cover the cost of damages owed. As a result, we accrued $6.0 million as a legal settlement payable with a corresponding insurance receivable for $6.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Because the plaintiff had not proceeded to finalize the settlement transaction due to a dispute with the City of Los Angeles related to the allocation of the global settlement payment between the plaintiff and the LAPD (unrelated to Romeo), we filed a claim for

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
breach of contract against the plaintiff in Romeo Systems et al. v. Chelico, Case # 21STCV20701. The cases have been deemed related and are now both pending before Hon. Mark Epstein. A trial date for the contract-related claims has been set for October 2022, and trial for the personal injury claims has been set for June 2023. Based upon information presently known to management, we are not currently able to estimate the outcome of this proceeding or a possible range of loss, if any, more than the $6.0 million settlement payable we agreed upon.

The $6.0 million of legal settlement payable and the related $6.0 million of insurance receivable were reported in the noncurrent liability section and noncurrent asset section, respectively, of our balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.

Wage and Hour Litigation

In October 2020, a wage-and-hour class action was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of all current and former non-exempt employees in California from October 2016 to present. The allegations include meal and rest period violations and various related claims. The parties mediated on October 7, 2021 and reached a settlement shortly thereafter. The parties are preparing to submit the settlement to the Court for approval. The proposed settlement amount is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Cannon Complaint

On February 26, 2021, plaintiff Lady Benjamin PD Cannon f/k/a Ben Cannon filed a complaint (the “Cannon Complaint”) against Romeo and Michael Patterson (“Patterson”) in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware. The Cannon Complaint includes claims for declaratory relief (against Romeo and Patterson), non-compliance with Article 9 of the Delaware UCC (against Patterson), conversion (against Romeo and Patterson), and breach of contract (against Romeo). Generally, plaintiff alleges that the transfer to Patterson of a warrant for 1,000,000 shares of Romeo’s Common Stock, which plaintiff pledged as security for a loan, is invalid, that Patterson improperly accepted that warrant in satisfaction of the loan, and that she, not Patterson, holds the right to exercise that warrant and to purchase the equivalent of 1% of Romeo’s Common Stock. The relief sought by plaintiff includes declaratory relief, return of the warrant, specific performance on the warrant, money damages, cost of suit, and attorneys’ fees. On May 4, 2021, Romeo filed a motion to dismiss all claims against it under Delaware Chancery Rule 12(b)(6); on May 17, 2021, plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment; and on June 16, 2021, Romeo and Patterson filed a joint Rule 56(f) motion for discovery.

On September 24, 2021, the Court granted Romeo’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s claim for conversion against the Company, but otherwise denied Romeo’s motion. The Court also deferred a ruling on plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment and Romeo and Patterson’s Rule 56(f) motion for discovery.

On October 8, 2021, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation pursuant to which plaintiff withdrew her motion for partial summary judgment without prejudice, the parties agreed that plaintiff would file a first amended complaint, and the parties agreed to a schedule for Romeo and Patterson to file Answers to that first amended complaint and a date by when the parties would complete certain discovery. Plaintiff filed her first amended complaint on October 18, 2021, removing her claim for conversion against Romeo and adding a claim against Romeo for alleged violation of 6 Del. C. § 8-404(a) on account of the same allegedly improper transfer of a warrant from plaintiff to Patterson. Romeo and Patterson filed Answers to that amended complaint on October 28, 2021 denying plaintiff’s claims.

The parties are currently engaged in the discovery phase of litigation, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against plaintiff’s claims. The outcome of any complex legal proceeding is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Given the early stage of the litigation and based upon information presently known to management, we are not currently able to estimate the outcome of this proceeding or a possible range of loss, if any.

Nichols and Toner Complaints
On April 16, 2021, plaintiff Travis Nichols filed a class action complaint (the “Nichols Complaint”) against Romeo, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Nichols Complaint alleges that defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the supply of battery cells, which are components of Romeo’s products, and the Company’s ability to meet customer demand and achieve its revenue forecast for 2021. On May 6, 2021, plaintiff Victor J. Toner filed a second class action complaint (the “Toner Complaint”) against Romeo, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The allegations in the Toner Complaint are substantially similar to the allegations in the Nichols Complaint. The

ROMEO POWER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
relief sought by both plaintiffs includes money damages, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. On July 15, 2021, the Court consolidated the 2 pending cases and appointed a lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff filed his consolidated amended complaint on September 15, 2021. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these claims, and on November 5, 2021 we filed a motion to dismiss all claims. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is now complete and all other proceedings in the case are stayed pending resolution of our motion to dismiss. This litigation is at preliminary stages and the outcome of any complex legal proceeding is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Based upon information presently known to management, we are not currently able to estimate the outcome of this proceeding or a possible range of loss, if any.

Supply Agreement

We have a long-term supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) for the purchase of lithium-ion battery cells with a Tier 1 battery cell and materials manufacturer (“Supplier”). Under the Supply Agreement, Supplier is committed to supplying cells to us, at escalating annual minimums, through June 30, 2028. Supplier's minimum total supply commitment to us, and our minimum purchase obligation, is for 8 GWh, and Supplier has agreed to use its best effort to allocate additional cells to us through 2023.

To facilitate Supplier’s supply of cells, we paid Supplier a deposit of $1.5 million in 2021 (the “Deposit”). As of March 31, 2022, the balance of the Deposit was $0.3 million. The decrease in the Deposit reflects credits received as cells were purchased in the first quarter of 2022 and an updated view of the number of cells to be purchased for the remainder of 2022 relative to the minimum volume commitment.

In addition, we paid a prepayment of $64.7 million (the “Prepayment”), which will be applied as an advance for the cells to be purchased from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028.

If the Company breaches its minimum volume commitment during any applicable year or portion thereof, Supplier is entitled to retain, as liquidated damages, the remaining balance of the Deposit or Prepayment for that year, as applicable. If Supplier materially breaches its minimum volume commitment during any applicable year or portion thereof, or in the event of a force majeure, Supplier will be required to return the remaining balance of the Deposit or Prepayment for that year, as applicable.

Unconditional Contractual Obligations
An unconditional contractual obligation is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding (non-cancelable, or cancellable only in certain circumstances). As of March 31, 2022, we estimate our total unconditional contractual commitments, including inventory purchases, lease minimum payments and other contractual commitments, are $9.8 million for the nine months ending December 31 2022, $37.7 million for the year ending December 31 2023, $197.1 million for the year ending December 31 2024, $195.6 million for the year ending December 31 2025, $193.2 million for the year ending December 31 2026 and $354.9 million thereafter. However, the amount of our purchase commitments subsequent to March 31, 2022 is not fully fixed and is subject to change based on changes in certain raw materials indexes as well the quantities of purchases we actually make. Amounts exclude a $6.0 million legal settlement payable related to an employee liability matter, for which our business and umbrella insurance carriers have agreed to cover the cost of damages owed, and we have recorded a $6.0 million insurance receivable to reflect that commitment.

from what we anticipate.

Overview

We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 22, 2018 (date of inception) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “initial business combination”). While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, it intends to focus our search for a target business in the diversified resources and industrial materials sectors.

We are an emerging growth companyenergy technology leader delivering advanced electrification solutions for complex vehicle applications. Through our energy-dense battery modules and as such,packs, we enable large-scale sustainable transportation by delivering safe, longer lasting batteries that have shorter charge times and longer life. With greater energy density, we are able to create lightweight and efficient solutions that deliver superior performance and provide improved acceleration, range and durability compared to battery packs provided by our competitors. Our modules and packs are customizable and scalable and are optimized by our proprietary battery management system (“BMS”). We believe we produce superior battery products compared to our competitors by leveraging our technical expertise and depth of knowledge of energy storage systems into high performing products that fit a wide range of demanding applications.

Since 2016, we have been designing and building battery modules, and we provide enabling battery technology for key customers in the vehicle electrification industry. Currently, we primarily focus on marketing mobility energy technology for commercial vehicles in Classes 4-8, recreational marine vessels, and construction and agriculture vehicles. We have collaborated with HES to focus on sustainability and reuse applications of our batteries, and we have a strategic alliance with Republic to cooperate in opportunities to incorporate next-generation battery technology into its fleet operations. We also collaborate with Dynexus to integrate Dynexus’s battery performance and health sensors into our battery ecosystem. These relationships help us to de-risk our business model, scale our business and deliver value to our customers.
Our operations now consist of a single business segment, which is Romeo Power. Romeo Power designs and manufactures industry leading battery modules, battery packs, and BMS technologies for our customers.
We expect our capital and operating expenditures to increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as the Company:
purchases production equipment and increases the number of production lines used to manufacture its products;

completes construction in a new factory in Cypress, California and moves our operations to the new location;
commercializes products;
continues to invest in R&D related to new technologies;
considers additional long-term supply agreements with cell suppliers that may require substantial advance payment;
increases its investment in marketing and advertising, as well as the sales and distribution infrastructure for its products and services;
maintains and improves operational, financial and management information systems;
hires additional personnel;
obtains, maintains, expands and protects its intellectual property portfolio; and
enhances internal functions to support its requirements as a publicly-traded company.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us, but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
27



Availability of Funding Resources

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents, and investments of $41.3 million and $25.5 million, respectively. We have recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $252.6 million as of March 31, 2022. On February 15, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors. Under the terms of the SEPA, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $350 million of Common Stock to Yorkville, subject to allcertain limitations, at the time of our choosing during the two-year term of the risks associatedagreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 16.7 million shares of Common Stock to Yorkville for cash proceeds of $25.0 million with a portion of the shares issued as non-cash stock purchase discount under the SEPA. Despite the access to liquidity from potential sales of Common Stock under the SEPA, as a result of continuing anticipated operating cash outflows, capital expenditures, amounts paid to BorgWarner in February 2022, and costs to support future growth, we believe that substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of the issuance of our financial statements. Although management continues to explore a range of options to further address the Company’s capitalization and liquidity, management cannot conclude as of the date of this filing that it is probable that additional options will become available to fund our longer range investment plans and our operating losses. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide, including workforces, liquidity, capital markets, consumer behavior, supply chains and macroeconomic conditions. Some locales continue to impose prolonged quarantines and restrict travel. These restrictions have at times impacted the ability of our employees to get to their places of work to produce products, our ability to obtain sufficient components or raw materials and component parts on a timely basis or at a cost-effective price, and our ability to keep our products moving through the supply chain. We implemented precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, including temporarily requiring some employees to work remotely and implementing viral testing and social distancing protocols for all work conducted onsite.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. On the other hand, infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate and are increasing in various regions. There are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains, such as increased port congestion and intermittent supplier delays. In 2021, COVID-19 had an adverse impact on our operations, supply chains and distribution systems, and it has resulted in higher costs due to increased lead times and increased scarcity of raw materials than previously expected. Our efforts to qualify certain new suppliers, particularly in Asia, have been hampered which has required us to continue using certain higher cost components for our products. As restrictions on travel and local business activities are diminishing, we are beginning to resume visits with prospective customers in person, but the lengthy time period in which we were not able to host customers in our factory has prolonged the sales conversion cycle. Due to the various global economic impacts of the pandemic, we may experience significant and unpredictable reductions in demand for certain of our products, as well as interruptions in the availability of purchased components or increased logistics costs to deliver materials from suppliers or to customers. The degree and duration of disruptions to future business activities are unknown at this time. Ultimately, we cannot predict the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business, as appropriate, and we will have to accurately project demand and infrastructure requirements and deploy our production, workforce and other resources accordingly.

Global Battery Cell Shortage
The cost of battery cells manufactured by our suppliers, depends in part upon the prices and availability of raw materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and/or other metals. Costs for these raw materials have increased due to higher production costs and demand surges in the EV market. The prices for these materials fluctuate, and their available supply may be unstable depending on market conditions and global demand, including as a result of increased global production of EVs and energy storage products. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the prices have further escalated as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia is the world’s second-largest producer of cobalt and the third-largest producer of nickel.Until the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is resolved, these materials are likely to become increasingly scarce and more expensive to obtain. A rise in the number of EV start-up companies in the United States that received substantial funding pursuant to capital markets transactions via mergers with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) in 2020 and 2021 also has contributed to
28



increases in demand. Any reduced availability of these materials may impact our access to cells, and any increases in their prices may reduce our profitability if we cannot recoup the increased costs through the pricing of our products or services. The availability and price of cylindrical cells, which is the form we use in our products, tends to be more sensitive to the demand surge since most of the supply of other cell forms, such as pouch and prismatic cells, has been allocated previously, in some cases several years in advance.

Our current products are designed around cylindrical cells because such cells allow for optimal energy density, longest life and the highest level of safety. There are only three battery cell suppliers for cylindrical cells (“Tier 1 Suppliers”) whose cells are qualified for use in EV applications because of their superior quality, performance and safety standards. Other battery cell suppliers who manufacture cylindrical cells are emerging growth companies.as potentially qualified sources for EV applications. We are conducting our rigorous qualification and validation process on these alternative cell suppliers in order to introduce more sourcing options into our product without sacrificing necessary performance and safety. Increased demand for EVs globally has outpaced the cell production capacity of the Tier 1 Suppliers. While the Tier 1 Suppliers are increasing their output capacity in Asia and in the United States, EV battery pack manufacturers are competing for a severely limited supply of battery cells in the short and medium term. As a result of the increased demand and higher raw material costs, battery cell pricing has increased for cell purchases between 2021 and 2022. Pricing indications from our cell suppliers indicate demand may start to stabilize between 2023 and 2025, although we cannot be certain this stabilization will occur.

Effective August 10, 2021, we entered into a long-term supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) for the purchase of lithium-ion battery cells with a Tier 1 battery cell and materials manufacturer (“Supplier”). Under the Supply Agreement, the Supplier is committed to supplying cells to us, at escalating annual minimum quantities, through June 30, 2028. For further discussion of the Supply Agreement please see Note 15 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Key Components of Operating Results
The following discussion describes certain line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
Revenue
We primarily generate revenue from the sale of battery modules, battery packs, and BMS, as well as the performance of engineering services, inclusive of the development of prototypes. Revenue generated from the sale of our battery modules, battery packs, and BMS under standard supply or production contracts is presented as product revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Revenue generated from the production of prototypes is included in services revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, when prototypes are developed as a part of broader engineering services contracts, which are commonly entered into prior to signing a full production contract with a customer. Our sponsorservices revenues are primarily earned through engineering services provided to the BorgWarner JV. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we acquired BorgWarner’s 60% ownership of the JV on February 4, 2022 and dissolved the JV on February 11, 2022.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Loss
Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of product costs, personnel costs (e.g., for production line and production management employees), logistics and freight costs, depreciation and amortization of manufacturing and test equipment, and allocation of fixed overhead expenses. Our product costs are impacted by technological innovations, such as advances in battery controls and battery configurations, new product introductions, economies of scale that result in lower component costs, and improvements in and automation of our production processes. Our production line and production management personnel costs are primarily impacted by (1) changes in headcount, the number of production shifts and production lines that will be required to meet our anticipated future production levels, and (2) changes in compensation and benefits.

Gross loss may vary between periods and is primarily affected by production volumes, product costs, including costs for raw materials, components and labor, product mix, customer mix, and warranty costs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses primarily consist of research and development (R&D) costs and selling, general, and administrative costs. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of each of these expense classifications and include salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, sales commissions, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation.
29



R&D Expense
R&D expense includes personnel-related costs, third-party design and development costs, testing and evaluation costs and other indirect costs. R&D employees have expertise and perform activities related to battery cell science, battery module related technology and electro-mechanical engineering, thermal engineering and BMS engineering. We devote substantial resources to R&D programs that focus on both performance enhancements to, and cost efficiencies in, existing products and the timely development of new products that utilize technological innovation to drive down product costs, improve product functionality and enhance product safety and reliability. We intend to continue to invest resources in R&D efforts on an on-going basis, as we believe this investment is critical to maintaining and strengthening our competitive position.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense includes sales, marketing and general and administrative costs. Sales and marketing expense includes personnel-related costs, as well as marketing, customer support, trade show and other indirect costs. We expect to continue to make the necessary sales and marketing investments to enable the execution of our strategy, which includes increasing market penetration geographically and entering into new markets. We currently offer products to electrify commercial trucks, buses, mining and agricultural equipment, and watercraft. We expect to expand the geographic reach of our product offerings and explore new revenue channels in our addressable markets in the future.

General and administrative expense includes: personnel-related costs attributable to our executive, finance, human resources and information technology organizations; certain facility costs; and fees for professional services. Fees for professional services consist primarily of outside legal and accounting, consulting, audit and tax costs.
Acquisition of In-process Research and Development

On February 4, 2022, we acquired BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV, which was subsequently dissolved on February 11, 2022. The primary asset acquired in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) constitutes an in-process research and development asset (“IPR&D”) comprised entirely of the Company’s research and development. The Company recorded a charge of $35.0 million related to the acquisition of in-process research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the Purchase Agreement Closing Date because the Company determined that the IPR&D asset had no alternative future use that is distinct and different from the Company’s existing research and development. See Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our acquisition of BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV.

Change in Fair Value of Public and Private Placement Warrants
In February 2019, RMG issued 7,666,648 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. Simultaneously, RMG issued 4,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Public and Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share to RMG Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “sponsor”).

On February 12, 2019, we consummated our initial public offering (“initial public offering”) of 20,000,000 units (“units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the units being offered, the “public shares”) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200 million. On February 19, 2019, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000 additional units to cover over-allotments at $10.00 per unit, which generated additional gross proceeds of $30.0 million. We incurred offering costs of approximately $13.4 million, inclusive of $8.05 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement (“private placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (each, a “private placement warrant” and collectively, the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant in a private placement to the sponsor and the certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc., and certain funds and accounts managed by Alta Fundamental Advisers LLC (together,LLC. The Company re-measures the “Anchor Investors”), generating gross proceeds of $6.0 million. In connection with the full exercisefair value of the over-allotment option byPublic and Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period.


On February 16, 2021, we announced the underwriters,redemption of all of the sponsor andoutstanding Public Warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock. On April 5, 2021, all the Anchor Investors purchased an additional 600,000outstanding Public Warrants were redeemed. As a result, we only had change in fair value of private placement warrants at a pricefor the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Loss in Equity Method Investments

Loss in equity method investments reflects the recognition of $1.50 per private placement warrant, which generated additional gross proceeds of $900,000.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and private placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $230.0 million ($10.00 per unit)our proportional share of the net proceedslosses of our equity method investments. For the three and three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, these losses relate only to the BorgWarner JV, in which we held a 40% ownership interest until we purchased the remaining 60% of ownership from BorgWarner on February 4, 2022 and then dissolved the JV on February 11, 2022. See Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our acquisition of the sale of the unitsBorgWarner’s ownership share in the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering, or February 12, 2021, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes as well as expenses relating to the administration of the Trust Account (less up to $100,000 of interest released to us to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and its Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete the initial business combination within the prescribed time period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

JV. As of March 31, 2019, we had2022, there were no significant activities related to Heritage Battery Recycling, LLC (“HBR”). Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there are no profits or losses from our equity method investment in HBR to be recognized.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Revenues

Product revenues
Product revenues increased approximately $2.0$10.8 million, or 1763%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in our operating bank account held outsidethe prior year. The increase in product revenues relates primarily to increased delivery on three supply contracts, resulting in an increase of approximately $10.0 million of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The term of each of the Trust Account, approximately $709,000 of interest income earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account available for tax purposes,three supply contracts will end between 2023 and a working capital of approximately $1.6 million.

Through2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2022, the average selling prices per unit did not have a significant impact on revenues when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Minimum quantity commitments related to contracts signed through March 31, 2022 is approximately $412.0 million of backlog. With the completion of the delivery of engineering and prototype services, we expect to recognize approximately $33.4 million of this backlog revenue during the remainder of our liquidity needs have been satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution fromfiscal year ending December 31, 2022. For further discussion on our sponsor in exchangebacklog, see Note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Service revenues
Service revenues declined approximately $0.3 million, or 62%, for the issuancethree months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in service revenues is primarily related to the acquisition of BorgWarner’s 60% ownership on February 4, 2022 as the service revenue was primarily related to our revenue from the JV.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues – product cost
Cost of revenues associated with product revenues increased approximately $24.7 million, or 556%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Higher costs of product revenue resulted from a higher volume of product shipments during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which drove increases in materials consumed as well as greater production labor headcount and other production related operating costs. The increase in material costs also reflects incurrence of delivery expediting costs due to scarcity of supply.

Overhead costs remained consistent year over year. A significant portion of the founder shares,overhead costs that we incurred in both periods include facility rent, utilities, and depreciation of manufacturing equipment and tooling, which are fixed or semi-fixed in nature. As manufacturing activities under our supply contracts increase, we expect to achieve improved leverage on fixed and semi-fixed overhead costs. As a result of such improvement, gross loss as a percentage of product revenues decreased to 155% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to gross loss as a percentage of product revenues of 625% for the same period in the prior year.
Cost of revenues – service cost
Cost of revenues associated with service revenues decreased approximately $153,000$0.3 million, or 65%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cost of revenues associated with service revenues for the same period in loans from our sponsor, and the proceedsprior year. The decrease is primarily due to decrease in service revenues from the consummation ofJV as discussed under “Service Revenues” above. Gross margin was 19% for the private placement not held in Trust Account. We fully repaid the loans from our sponsor as ofthree months ended March 31, 2019.

Based on2022, as compared to gross margin of 12% for the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capitalsame period in the prior year.


Research and borrowing capacity to meet our needs throughDevelopment Expense
R&D expense increased approximately $2.9 million, or 78%, for the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception was in preparation for our initial public offering, and since such offering, our activity has been limitedthree months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the search for a prospective initial business combination, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating incomesame period in the form of interest income on cashprior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million increase in compensation and cash equivalents. We expect to incur increased expensesbenefits as a result of being a public company (for legal,headcount increase for increased R&D activities to support ongoing technology and product development. The remaining increase was primarily due to a higher volume of materials consumed in product development activities.


As manufacturing activities under our supply contracts increase, we expect to achieve improved leverage on R&D costs. As a result of such improvement, R&D expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 358% for the same period in the prior year.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense increased approximately $6.3 million, or 40%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The $6.3 million increase reflects primarily an increase in professional fees of $3.0 million, lease expenses of $1.2 million, compensation and benefits cost of $1.0 million, IT related costs of $0.7 million, and depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million.

As manufacturing activities under our supply contracts increase, we expect to achieve improved leverage on SG&A costs. As a result of such improvement, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 192% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 1,509% for the same period in the prior year.

Acquisition of In-process Research and Development
On February 4, 2022, we acquired the BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV, which was subsequently dissolved on February 11, 2022. The primary asset acquired in the Purchase Agreement constitutes an in-process research and development
32



asset (“IPR&D”). The Company recorded a charge of $35.4 million to acquired in-process research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the Purchase Agreement Closing Date because the Company determined that the IPR&D asset had no alternative future use that is distinct and different from the Company’s existing research and development. For further information on our acquisition of the BorgWarner’s ownership share in the JV, see Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We did not incur such charge in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2022, the change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants liability was a decrease of $1.3 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain related to the reduction of the carrying value of the associated liability. The decrease in the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was primarily due to the decreases in the price of our Common Stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Placement Warrants liability was a decrease of $116.1 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain related to the reduction of the carrying value of the associated liability. The decrease in the fair value of the Public and Private Placement Warrants was primarily due to the decreases in the price of our Common Stock.

Loss in Equity Method Investments

We account for our investment in the BorgWarner JV under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, recognize our proportionate share of the joint venture’s earnings and losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $0.6 million was recognized as loss in equity method investments, representing our 40% share of the losses recognized by the joint venture. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $0.3 million was recognized as loss in equity method investments, representing our 40% share of the losses recognized by the joint venture from January 1, 2022 through February 4, 2022, the date on which we hadacquired full ownership of the JV. No loss or gain in equity method investment has been recognized after February 4, 2022.

Net (Loss) Income
We reported net loss of $81.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net income of approximately $325,000, which consisted of approximately $709,000 in interest earned on marketable securities held$92.1 million for the same period in the Trust Account,prior year. The decrease of $173.2 million in net income is primarily due to the one-time charge associated with the acquisition of in-process research and development and the unfavorable change in fair value of our Public and Private Placement Warrants liability as discussed above.The net loss for the first quarter also reflected increased cost of product revenues, increased R&D cost and higher SG&A expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), our management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, for purposes of evaluating our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” has been calculated using EBITDA adjusted for, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of the Public and Private Placement Warrants, investment (loss) gain, net, and acquisition of in-process research and development (Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements). We believe that both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information for investors to use in (1) evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and (2) comparing our financial performance with those of comparable companies which may disclose similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP measures provide investors with incremental information for the evaluation of our performance after isolation of certain items deemed unrelated to our core business operations.
33



EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental measures to our GAAP measures of performance. When evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures computed by other companies, as the nature of the adjustments that other companies may include or exclude when calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the adjustments reflected in our measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor should these measures be viewed as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss). We compensate for the limitations of our non-GAAP measures by relying primarily on our GAAP results. You should review the reconciliation of our net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From our inception in June 2014 through March 31, 2022, we generated an accumulated deficit of $252.6 million, while pursuing substantial R&D activities to bring the products in our lithium-ion battery technology platform to market on a mass production scale. We also have added significant cost to establish the infrastructure necessary as a public entity and to support growth of both commercial and production activities.
On December 29, 2020, the consummation of the Business Combination resulted in net cash proceeds of $345.8 million of cash available to fund our future operations, potential future obligations to contribute cash to fund the BorgWarner JV proportional to our ownership and our $35.0 million initial contribution for a profit sharing interest in the HBR System. The net proceeds received reflect gross proceeds of $394.2 million from the Business Combination, inclusive of cash from the PIPE Shares (as defined below), offset by approximately $196,000the following: (i) settling all of Legacy Romeo’s issued and outstanding term notes, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) payment of transaction costs incurred by both RMG and Legacy Romeo, and (iii) payments of deferred legal fees, underwriting commissions, and other costs incurred in connection with the initial public offering of RMG.

Our current business plans include continued investments into R&D for technology and product development, capital for additional production capacity and related operating infrastructure, and further build out of business systems supporting the overall business. Support of these investments is expected to continue to consume cash which will require additional sources of capital. As the market for our customers’ products and demand for our technology continues to grow, increased sales volume may contribute to lower cost for materials we purchase and better cost leverage, as well as an improved pricing environment. However, we expect operating losses to continue to consume cash and cannot predict when we will generate positive cash flow.
As discussed in the “Overview” section, we continue to take precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the COVID-19 virus to our employees and operations. We require vaccination, use of personal protective equipment, social distancing protocols when possible and weekly virus testing for all employees. While COVID-19 has had a limited adverse
34



impact on our internal operations, we have experienced some disruption in supply chain and distribution systems which have led to the need to expedite delivery of materials and incur higher freight costs. The degree and duration of disruptions to future business activity are unknown at this time.
Our continuing short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are expected to be impacted by the following, among other things:

the timing and the costs involved in bringing our products to market;
the expansion of production capacity;
our ability to manage the costs of manufacturing our product;
the availability, cost and logistics expense for materials we purchase;
the availability of trade credit associated with the purchase of materials;
capital commitments that may be required to secure long-term cell supply arrangements;
general business liabilities, including the cost of warranty and quality claims, commercial disputes and potential business litigation costs and liabilities;
the scope, costs, timing and outcomes of our R&D activities for our battery modules and battery packs;
the costs of maintaining, expanding and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including licensing expenses and potential intellectual property litigation costs and liabilities;
the costs of additional general and administrative costs, $50,000personnel, including accounting and finance, legal and human resources, as a result of becoming a public company;
our ability to collect revenues from start-up companies operating in franchise tax expense, and approximately $138,000 in income tax expense.

Liquidity Requirements

As of March 31, 2022, our current assets were approximately $126.7 million, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale debt investments, inventory, prepaid inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets, and an aggregate priceinsurance receivable. As of $25,000. On December 17, 2018,March 31, 2022, our current liabilities were approximately $31.9 million, consisting primarily of accounts payable, accrued expenses, contract liabilities, current lease liabilities and other current liabilities. These liabilities are described in the Company effectuated an 0.8-for-1 reverse splitparagraphs below.

As described in more detail in Note 15 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we signed a Supply Agreement, effective August 10, 2021, with a supplier for the purchase of battery cells over the period of 2021 through 2028. As part of the founder shares, resultingSupply Agreement, we made a $64.7 million Prepayment to the supplier for the contract years beginning 2023 through 2028, and paid an additional $1.5 million Deposit to secure the supply of cells for 2022. These amounts will be recouped through credits received as cells are purchased. If we breach our minimum volume commitments during any applicable year, the supplier will be entitled to keep the remaining balance of the prepaid amounts for such year, as applicable.

As described in more detail in Note 15 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on October 25, 2021 BorgWarner decided to exercise a right under the Joint Venture Operating Agreement, dated May 6, 2019 (the “Operating Agreement”), to put its ownership stake in the BorgWarner JV to Romeo. As a result, we completed the acquisition of the BorgWarner’s ownership share in the first quarter of 2022. The acquisition was paid for in cash.

Other strategic initiatives, which may or may not be similar in nature to the long-term cell supply agreement, will continue to be assessed in the context of balancing business value and our liquidity position. We may consider future strategic initiatives which in our assessment may lead to opportunities to maximize value of the business and require significant investment. Management anticipates that, in addition to possible strategic initiatives, our other ongoing liquidity and capital needs will relate primarily to capital expenditures for the expansion and support of production capacity, investment related to continue to reduce the cost of our product, working capital to support increased production and sales volume, general overhead and personnel expenses to support continued growth and scale, and overall operating losses.

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is primarily the net loss of $81.1 million offset by non-cash adjustments of $41.0 million. Significant non-cash items included in net loss which affected operating activities include: acquisition of in-process research and development, inventory provision, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-cash equity-method loss, the change in fair value of our Private Placement Warrants.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Significant cash outflows include changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling approximately $6.2 million. These net cash outflows were primarily the result of cash outlays for prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.0 million, purchases of inventory of $1.1 million, and an increase in accounts receivable of $0.6 million. Cash outflows for prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted primarily of payments for insurance policies required to comply with the requirements of being a publicly traded company. The aforementioned cash outflows were offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.9 million. An additional contributor to net cash used in operating activities during the period was our loss after adjustment for non-cash items, which approximated $18.0 million. Significant non-cash adjustments include: adjustments for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, non-cash equity-method loss, inventory write downs, the change in fair value of our Public and Private Placement Warrants, and non-cash lease expense.

Cash used for investing activities was partially offset by $33.6 million from sales and maturities of investments.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $24.8 million was related primarily to $25.0 million of proceeds from share issuance under the SEPA, offset by principal payments for finance leases and the redemption of our Public Warrants. For further discussion on the SEPA, see Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $26.1 million and was related to $26.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants, offset by $0.1 million of principal payment for finance leases.

For a full discussion of these estimates and policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outsideItem 7 of our control and subject2021 Form 10-K.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2019, 21,880,163 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Stock

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 12,266,666 Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Our statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common stock, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A common stock and any working capital loans, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred of approximately $13.4 million that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. These costs were charged to stockholder's equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in February 2019.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to irrevocably opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we will adopt the new or revised standard at the time public companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another emerging growth company that has not opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and fluctuations in fuel prices, which are discussed further in the following paragraphs, as well as availability of funding sources which is discussed further under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Factors Affecting Operating Results” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
Interest Rate Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 20192022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.3 million, which did not consist of interest-bearing money market accounts. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22.6 million, consisting of interest-bearing money market accounts for which the fair market value would be affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, due to the short-term maturities and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents.

Available-for-Sale Debt Investments

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. Our primary objective for holding available-for-sale debt investments is to achieve an appropriate investment return consistent with preserving principal and managing risk. At any time, a sharp rise in market interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our available-for-sale debt investment portfolio, while the opposite could occur due to a sharp decline in market interest rates. We may utilize derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in the future to achieve our investment objectives. However, we had no outstanding hedging instruments for our available-for-sale debt investments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2018, we were not subject to any market or2021. Our available-for-sale debt investments are held for purposes other than trading. We monitor our interest rate risk. Followingand credit risks, including our credit exposures to specific rating categories and to individual issuers. We believe the consummationoverall credit quality of our Initial Public Offering,portfolio is strong.

For further discussion on our available-for-sale debt investments, see Note 9 to the net proceedsaccompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fuel Price Risk

Our principal direct exposure to increases in fuel prices is as a result of potential increased freight costs caused by fuel surcharges or other fuel cost-driven price increases implemented by the third-party delivery companies on which we rely. Our annual freight costs (which consists of in-bound and out-bound freight-related costs) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $4.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Increases in fuel prices may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as such increases may contribute to an increase to our cost of revenues. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of any of our Initial Public Offering, including amountsbattery components, such as cells, electronic and mechanical parts, or raw materials used in the Trust Account, were investedproduction of such parts could harm our business.” included in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturityPart I of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, weour 2021 Form 10-K. We do not believe that there will be an associated materialuse derivatives to manage our exposure to interestfuel prices.

Conversely, rising prices for traditional petroleum based fuels also may have a positive impact on the markets we serve for battery electric propulsion, as it could accelerate the conversion of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines to battery electric vehicles. However, because of numerous variables affecting the rate risk.

of such conversion, we are not able to quantify a related financial impact.

In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K, and other reports that we have filed with the SEC. Any of the daterisks discussed in such reports, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or prospects. During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to thein our risk factors as previously disclosed except the following:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may continue to cause certain raw materials to become increasingly scarce and more expensive to obtain.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of raw materials has further escalated as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia is the world’s second-largest producer of cobalt and the third-largest producer of nickel. Until the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is resolved, these materials are likely to become increasingly scarce and more expensive to obtain.Any reduced availability of these raw materials or substantial increases in the prices for such materials may increase the cost of our 2018 Form 10-K filed withcomponents and consequently, the SEC on March 29, 2019, exceptcost of our products.
