CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
(this (this “report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and variations thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements about:
our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) on the NYSE;
our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined below), which may be affected by, among other things, competition and our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;
our ability to continue to enter into binding contracts with OEMs
or tier-one
suppliers in order to execute on our business plan;
our ability to execute our business model, including market acceptance of our planned products and services;
our expansion plans and opportunities;
our expectations regarding future expenditures;
our ability to raise capital in the future;
our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;
the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors;
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings;
our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock, par value $0.00001per share ("Class A Common Stock") on the NYSE;
the possibility
that COVID-19,
the Russian-Ukraine war or rising inflation may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial position and cash flows; and
other factors described in this report, including those described in the section entitled “
Risk Factors
” under Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
as amended, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
on February 28, 2022, as supplemented by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q subsequently filed with the SEC.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “
Risk Factors
” under Part I, Item 1A of our amended Annual Report on Form
10-K/A.
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made by us in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect
3

the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Fisker Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Overview of the Company
Fisker Inc. (“Fisker” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware inon October 13, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Spartan”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, rec
a
pitalization,recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Spartan completed its Initial Public Offering in August 2018. On October 29, 2020, Spartan’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Fisker Holdings Inc. (f/k/a Fisker Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Fisker”), with Legacy Fisker Holdings Inc. (f/k/a Fisker Inc.) surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spartan (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, Spartan changed its name to Fisker Inc.
Legacy Fisker was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2016. In connection with its formation, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements with the Company’s founders, whereby the founders contributed certain IPintellectual property (primarily trademarks) and interests in Platinum IPR LLC. Platinum IPR LLC was an entity solely owned by the Company’s founders, which held Fisker trademarks registered in a variety of jurisdictions around the world. The founders’ transfer of its interest in Platinum IPR LLC and the transfer of trademarks was accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control. The carrying amount of the transferred assets is recorded based on the prior carrying value, which was de minimis.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “FSR”. The Company’s warrants previously traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FSR WS” and
de-listed
on April 19, 2021, (referthe NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with respect to Note 8 for further information).
the warrants; the formal delisting of the warrants became effective ten days thereafter.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021,2022, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, (deficit), and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three monthsthree-months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, as well as other information disclosed in the accompanying notes, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20202021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.
Comprehensive loss is not separately presented as the amounts are equal to net loss for the three monthsthree-months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future years or interim periods.

Reverse Recapitalization
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Spartan was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. The Business Combination was accounted as the equivalent of Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Fisker and its wholly owned subsidiaries “as if” Legacy Fisker is the predecessor to the Company. The shares and net loss per common share, prior to the Business Combination, have been adjusted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
report. Since inception, the Company has incurred significant accumulated losses of approximately $325 million.$741 million . As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had approximately $985$1,043 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. Proceeds from the Business Combinationissuance of convertible senior notes and exercised public warrants exercise provide the Company the liquidity and capital resources to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from issuance.
Supplier Risk
The Company finalized nomination of suppliers during the quarter for engineering, development, testing, tooling and production of components for serial production of its vehicles. As of March 31, 2022, these supplier contracts do not represent unconditional purchase obligations with take-or-pay or specified minimum quantities provisions with the exception of an agreement securing battery capacity for the Fisker Ocean SUV. Under the terms of the agreement, the battery supplier will deliver 2 different battery solutions for the Fisker Ocean SUV, with an initial battery capacity of over 5 gigawatt-hours annually, from 2023 through 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurement
, for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
10

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes
(“
(“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
10

reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
There are transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As of March 31, 2021,2022, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
The Company’s income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal, foreign and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against the full value of its U.S. and state net deferred tax assets because the Company believes the recoverability of the tax assets is not more likely than not as of March 31, 2021.2022.
Derivative Liability
The Company accounts for its public and private warrants as a derivative liability initially measured at its fair values and remeasured in the condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations at the end of each reporting period. When the warrants are exercised, the corresponding derivative liability is
de-recognized
at the underlying fair value of the Class A common stock that is issued to the warrant holder less any cash paid in accordance with the warrant agreement. Upon either cash or cashless exercise, the derecognizedde-recognized derivative liability results in an increase in additional paid in capital equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Class A common stock and its par value. A cashless exercise results in the warrant holder surrendering Class A common stock equal to the stated warrant exercise price based on the contractual terms in the warrant agreement that govern the cashless conversion.
Equity Awards
The grant date for an option or stock award is established when the grantee has a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the option or award, the award is authorized, including all the necessary approvals unless approval is essentially a formality or perfunctory, and the grantee begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, underlying changes in the price of the Company’s Class A common shares. An award or option is authorized on the date that all approval requirements are completed (e.g., action by the compensation committee approving the award and the number of options, restricted shares or other equity instruments to be issued to individual employees).

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated using the
two-class
method under which earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities. Undistributed net losses are allocated entirely to common shareholders since the participating security has no contractual obligation to share in the losses. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of stock optionsstock-based compensation awards and warrants to purchase common stock (using the treasury stock method).
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2019,2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU
No. 2019-12
removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. This guidance had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption in 2021.2022.
In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash
Recently issued accounting pronouncements11

conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. The ASU amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use if-converted method for all convertible instruments and an update for instruments that can be settled in either cash or shares. We early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective on January 1, 2021 applying the modified retrospective method. Since the Company does not have any financial instruments as of January 1, 2021 within the scope of ASU 2020-06, early adoption had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. This ASU also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of

debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for
non-public
companies, and public business entities that meet the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. TheOn December 31, 2021, the Company is currently evaluatingbecame a large accelerated filer, as defined by the SEC, and, as a result, adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact of this standard on itsthe Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination and Recapitalization
On October 29, 2020, the Company consummated the Business Combination with Legacy Fisker pursuant to the business combination agreement between Legacy Fisker and Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to ASC 805, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Legacy Fisker was deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company was treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Spartan were stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and are consolidated with Legacy Fisker’s financial statements on the Closing date. The shares and net income (loss) per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been adjusted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Business Combination, Spartan entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), whereby pursuant to which it issued
 50,000,000
shares of Class A common stock at
 $10.00
 per share (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of 
$500.0 
 million (the “PIPE Financing”), which closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination. 
The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination and proceeds from the PIPE Financing was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of 179,192,713 shares of common stock valued at $10.00 per share. The common stock consideration consists of (1) 46,838,585 shares of Legacy Fisker Class A common stock, including shares issuable in respect of vested equity awards of the Legacy Fisker and shares issued in respect of the Bridge notes and Convertible Equity Security, plus (2) 132,354,128 shares of Legacy Fisker Class B common stock.
Conversion of Notes and Preferred Stock upon Recapitalization
Upon the Company formation in September 2016, HF Holdco LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and founder, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and founder, advanced the Company $250,000 in the form of a demand note. In May 2020, in satisfaction of the advances made by HF Holdco LLC, the Company issued a bridge note payable to HF Holdco LLC with the principal sum of $250,000 and convertible into Class A Common Stock upon completion of the Business Combination and is 0 longer outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The bridge note bears substantially the same terms as the bridge notes payable.
From July 2019 to September 2020, the Company entered into bridge note agreements with investors. Certain holders of the bridge notes were issued option agreements providing the holder with a
non-binding
right to receive a base model Fisker Ocean SUV within the first 12 months of production, subject to certain terms and conditions. The proceeds received from these holders were allocated to the bridge notes and option agreements on a relative fair value basis, resulting in an initial discount to the bridge notes.
The automatic exchange feature is the predominant settlement feature and the change of control feature within the bridge notes are embedded contingent put options that, collectively, are required to be bifurcated from the debt host and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings (see Note 4). After bifurcation of the embedded derivative, the initial carrying value of the bridge notes are accreted to their stated principal value over the contractual term of the bridge notes, using the effective interest method. The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million of accretion of debt discount from the issuance dates of the bridge notes through March 31, 2020, classified as Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The embedded derivative was eliminated upon the conversion of the bridge notes payable at the close of the Business Combination.
In June 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the note agreements with holders of the Company’s outstanding bridge notes to provide for amendments to the definition of the Next Equity Financing such that in the event of a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC”) Transaction, as defined, prior to repayment or conversion in full of the note, immediately prior to such SPAC Transaction, the outstanding principal and any accrued
12

but unpaid interest under the bridge notes shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (or, at the election of the Company, directly into proceeds paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock in connection with such SPAC Transaction) at a price per share that is 75% of the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such SPAC Transaction. Upon the Closing, the conversion feature upon a business combination was triggered for the bridge notes causing a conversion of the $10.0 million outstanding principal amount of these bridge notes at a specified price. The noteholders received 1,361,268 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as result of the conversion.
Prior to the Closing, Fisker had shares of $0.00001 par value Series A, Series B, and Founders Convertible preferred stock outstanding. The Series A and B preferred shares were convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock of Legacy Fisker based on a specified conversion price calculated by dividing the then-original issue price, as adjusted, for such share of preferred stock by the conversion price, as adjusted, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. Shares of Founders preferred stock, classified in equity, were convertible into Class B Common Stock determined by dividing $0.10, as adjusted, for such share of preferred stock by the conversion price, as adjusted, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. Upon the Closing, the outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into common stock of the Company at 2.7162, the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately after the Business Combination, Founders Convertible, Series A
(pre-combination),
and Series B
(pre-combination)
converted into 27,162,191 Class A Common Stock, 16,983,241 Class A Common Stock, and 3,765,685 Class A Common Stock, respectively.

On July 28, 2021, the Company made a commitment for a private investment in public equity (PIPE) supporting the planned merger of European EV charging network, Allego B.V. (“Allego”) with Spartan Acquisition Corp. III (NYSE: SPAQ), a publicly-listed special purpose acquisition company. Fisker Inc. is the exclusive electric vehicle automaker in the PIPE and, in parallel, agreed to terms to deliver a range of charging options for its customers in Europe. On March 16, 2022, the merger closed and the Company delivered cash of $10 million in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Allego's Class A common stock (NYSE:ALLG). The Company's ownership percentage is less than 5% and does not result in significant influence. The shares acquired by Fisker were not registered with the SEC as of March 31, 2022. Allego is required to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the shares acquired (the “Registration Statement”). The Company cannot sell its shares until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. As the Company cannot predict when the Registration Statement will be declared effective, it has classified its equity investment in Allego as a noncurrent asset. Unrealized gains recognized during the three-months ended March 31, 2022 on equity securities still held as of March 31, 2022 totaled $5.1 million as shown separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investment declined to $10.2 million based on the closing market price of ALLG Class A common stock of $10.20 on May 6, 2022..
We carry the convertible senior notes at face value less the unamortized debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets and present that fair value for disclosure purposes only. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the 2026 Notes was $564.9 million. The estimated fair value of the convertible notes, which are classified as Level 2 financial instruments, was determined based on the estimated or actual bid prices of the convertible notes in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the period.
For the three-months ended March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’sCompany measured its derivative liability for its private and public warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The private warrants fair value is determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causescaused it to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used an option pricing simulation model for the valuation of the private warrants, useswhich used assumptions and estimates the Company believesbelieved would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company assess these assumptions and estimates on an
on-going
basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. The Company uses an option pricing simulation to estimate the fair value of its private warrants, all of which were exercised as ofin March 31, 2021. The public warrants fair value is determined using its publicly traded prices (Level 1) as. All of March 31, 2021the public and December 31, 2020.private warranted were exercised or redeemed in 2021. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liability related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a
non-operating
expense. For the three-months ended March 31, 2021, the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability resulted from increaseschanges in the fair values of the underlying Class A common shares and its associated volatilities.volatilities upon exercise in March 2021.

Upon the Closing, there were 18,400,000 public and 9,360,0008. Convertible Senior Notes
2026 Notes
In August 2021, we issued an aggregate of $667.5 million principal amount of 2.50% convertible senior notes due in September 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private warrants outstandingoffering to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by Spartan priorqualified institutional buyers pursuant to the Business Combination. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, 30 days after the Closing, provided that the Company has an effective registration statementRule 144A under the Securities Act coveringof 1933, as amended. The 2026 Notes have been designated as green bonds, whose proceeds will be allocated in accordance with the Company’s green bond framework. The 2026 Notes consisted of a $625 million initial placement and an over-allotment option that provided the initial purchasers of the 2026 Notes with the option to purchase an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, of which $42.5 million was exercised. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated August 17, 2021. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes were $562.2 million, net of debt issuance costs and cash used to purchase the capped call transactions (“2026 Capped Call Transactions”) discussed below. The debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense.
The 2026 Notes are unsecured obligations which bear regular interest at 2.50% annually and will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes will mature on September 15, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2026 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 50.7743 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercisecommon stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.70 per share of our Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the warrants2026 Notes, at our option, on or after September 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or a current prospectus relatingportion of their 2026 Notes at their option prior to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registrationJune 15, 2026, in multiples of $1,000 principal amounts, only under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The warrants will expire five yearsfollowing circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the completioncalendar quarter ending on September 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercisefor at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the Private Placement Warrantsimmediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock and the applicable conversion rate of the 2026 Notes on such trading day;
if we call such 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or
on the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after June 15, 2026, the 2026 Notes are convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2026 Notes who convert the 2026 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, or in connection with a redemption may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change, holders of the 2026 Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the 2026 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2026 Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
We accounted for the issuance of the 2026 Notes as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.

As of March 31, 2022, the 2026 Notes consisted of the following (in thousands):
Principal$667,500 
Unamortized debt issuance costs(7,948)
Net carrying amount$659,552 
Interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Contractual interest expense was $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, the if-converted value of the 2026 Notes did not exceed the principal amount. The 2026 Notes were not eligible for conversion as of March 31, 2022.No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes, which means that we are not required to redeem or retire them periodically.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, we entered into the 2026 Capped Call Transactions with certain counterparties at a net cost of $96.8 million. The 2026 Capped Call Transactions are purchased capped call options on $33.9 million shares Class A common stock, that, if exercised, can be net share settled, net cash settled, or settled in a combination of cash or shares consistent with the settlement elections made with respect to the 2026 Notes if converted. The cap price is initially $32.57 per share of our Class A common stock and subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2026 Capped Call Transactions. The strike price is initially $19.70 per share of Class A common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments that mirror corresponding adjustments for the 2026 Notes.
The 2026 Capped Call Transactions are intended to reduce potential dilution to holders of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction of our additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets. The Capped Call Transactions will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
soremeasured as long as they are held bycontinue to meet the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees. If theconditions for equity classification.
9. Warrants
Public and Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Warrants.
On March 19, 2021, the Company announced that it would redeem all of its outstanding warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value
$0.00001
per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated August 9, 2018 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), for a redemption price of
$0.01
per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 22, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The Private Placement Warrants were not subject to this redemption. In addition, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Company’s board of directors elected to require that, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, all Public Warrants were to be exercised only on a “cashless basis.” Accordingly, holders could not exercise Public Warrants and receive Common Stock in exchange for payment in cash of the
$11.50
per warrant exercise price. Instead, a holder exercising a Public Warrant was deemed to pay the
$11.50
per warrant exercise price by the surrender of
0.5046
of a share of Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising warrant holders received
0.4954
of a share of Common Stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise. Any Public Warrants (including Public Warrants that were not included in outstanding units) that remained unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date were delisted, void and no longer exercisable. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had issued
3,490,935 shares of Common Stock upon cashless exercise of the Public Warrants. Upon cashless exercise, the Public Warrant holders surrendered 3,556,026 shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2021. The Company completed the redemption prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and issued 5,167,791 shares of Common Stock to Public Warrant holders who surrendered 5,264,490 shares of Common Stock. For the remainingunexercised 225,906 Public Warrants outstanding at the Redemption Date, the Company paid $2,259 to redeem the unexercised warrants.

During the three-months ended2021. There are no Public Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
During March 2021, the 9,360,000
warrants to purchase Common Stock that were originally issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO were exercised by the Company’s former sponsor on a cashless basis for

Magna
Warrants
On October 29, 2020, the
Company
granted Magna International, Inc. (“Magna”) up to 19,474,454 warrants, each with an exercise price of $0.01,
to acquire underlying shares of Class A common stock of Fisker, which represented approximately
 6%
6.0% ownership in Fisker on a fully diluted basis as of the grant date. The right to exercise vested warrants expires on
October 29, 2030.
The warrants are accounted for as an award issued to non-employees measured on October 29, 2020 with three3 interrelated performance conditions that are separately evaluated for achievement.

(b) (i) Achievement of the “target agreement” gateway as set forth in the Development Agreement and (ii) entering into the Detailed Manufacturing Agreement, which will contain terms and conditions agreed to in the Initial Manufacturing Agreement33.3 %6,484,993 
(c) Start of pre-serial production33.4 %6,504,468

The cost upon achievement of each milestone is recognized when it is probable that a milestone iswill be met. The cost for awards to nonemployees is recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or services. As ofAt March 31, 2021,2022, Magna satisfied the first milestoneand second milestones and the Company capitalized costs of
 $58.0 
million as an intangible asset representing the future economic benefit to Fisker Inc. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021,2022, the Company does not considerdetermined the secondthird milestone is probable of beingachievement and capitalized a portion of the award's fair value corresponding to the service period beginning at the grant date and ending in the fourth quarter of 2022. The unrecognized portion of the award will be recognized ratably over the remainder of the service period ending upon start of pre-serial production, which is estimated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022. Changes in the estimated timing of start of pre-serial production will require a cumulative adjustment for a change in accounting estimate. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, recognized cost of $6.7 million associated with services rendered increased capitalized cost - manufacturing to $238.2 million as of March 31, 2022. Because there are multiple milestones to achieve, the intangible asset is under development and will be complete when start of pre-serial production begins. The Company will amortize the aggregate capitalized cost in a systematic and rational manner. Throughout its useful life, including the period of time before completion, the Company will assess the intangible asset for impairment. If an indicator of impairment exists, the undiscounted cash flows will be estimated and then if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is not recoverable, determine its fair value and record an impairment loss. At March 31, 2022, no indicator of impairment exists.
The fair value of each warrant is equal to the intrinsic value (e.g., stock price on grant date less exercise price) as the exercise price is $0.01. The terms of the warrant agreement require net settlement when exercised. Using the measurement date stock price of $8.96 for a share of Class A common stock, the warrant fair values for each tranche is shown below. Capitalized cost also results in an increase to additional paid in capital equal to the fair value of the vested warrants. Awards vest when a milestone if met. Magna has 12,969,986 vested and exercisable warrants to acquire underlying Class A common stock of Fisker as of March 31, 2022, none of which are exercised.

The Plan is a stock-based compensation plan which provides for the grants of options and restricted stock to employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive options (“ISO”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSO”). The Plan added

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires various highly subjective assumptions that represent management’s best estimates of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term, and dividend yield. As the Company’s shares have actively traded for a short period of time subsequent to the Business Combination, volatility is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive and energy storage industries.
The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the
time-to-vesting
and the contractual life of the awards. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future; therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the expected term of the grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of publicly-traded peer companies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
report.
OVERVIEW
Fisker is building a technology-enabled, asset-light automotive business model that it believes will be among the first of its kind and aligned with the future state of the automotive industry. This involves a focus on vehicle development, customer experience, sales and service intended to change the personal mobility experience through technological innovation, ease of use and flexibility. The Company combines the legendary design and engineering expertise of Henrik Fisker to develop high quality electric vehicles with strong emotional appeal. Central to Fisker’s business model is the Fisker Flexible Platform Agnostic
Design (“FF-PAD”), a
proprietary process that allows the development and design of a vehicle to be adapted to any given electric vehicle (“EV”) platform in the specific segment size. The process focuses on selecting industry leading vehicle specifications and adapting the design to crucial hard points on a third-party supplied EV platform and outsourced manufacturing to reduce development cost and time to market. The first example of this is Fisker’s work to adapt the Fisker Ocean design to a base vehicle platform developed by Magna Steyr.Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KG, a limited liability partnership established and existing under the laws of Austria (“Magna Steyr”), an affiliate of Magna International, Inc. (“Magna”). This development with Magna Steyr began in September 2020 and passed the first and second engineering gatewaygateways in November 2020.2020 and March 2021, respectively and we are currently in the prototype building phase for production in November 2022. Fisker believes it is well-positioned through its global premium EV brand, its renowned design capabilities, its sustainability focus, and its asset-light and low overhead, direct to consumer business model which enables products like the Fisker Ocean to be priced roughly equivalent to internal combustion engine-powered SUV’s from premium brand competitors.
The Fisker Ocean is targeting a large and rapidly expanding “premium with volume” segment (meaning a premium automaker producing more than 100,000 units of a single model such as the BMW X3 Series or Tesla Model Y) of the electric SUV market. Fisker expects to begin production of the Ocean as early as the fourth quarter of 2022. The Fisker Ocean, a five-passenger vehicle with potentially
a 250- to
over 350-mile range
and state-of-the-art autonomous
drivingadvanced driver assistance capabilities, will be differentiated in the marketplace by its innovative and timeless design and
a re-imagined customer
experience delivered through an advanced software-based user interface. The Fisker Ocean is designed for a high degree of sustainability, using recycled
rubber, eco-suede interior
trim made from recycled polyester, and carpeting from fishing nets and plastic bottles recycled from ocean waste, among many other sustainable
22

features. The optional features for the Ocean, including California Mode (patent pending), and a solar photovoltaic roof and
“Head-up” display,
resulted in the Fisker Ocean prototype being the most awarded new automobile at CES 2020 by Time, Newsweek, Business Insider, CNET and others.
Fisker believes its innovative business model,
including “E-Mobility-as-a-Service” (“EMaaS”),
will revolutionize how consumers view personal transportation and car ownership. Over time, Fisker plans to combine a customer-focused experience with flexible leasing options, affordable monthly payments and no fixed lease terms, in addition to
direct-to-consumer
sales. Through an innovative platform sharing partnership strategy, Fisker believes that it will be able to significantly reduce the capital intensity typically associated with developing and manufacturing vehicles, while maintaining flexibility and optionality in component sourcing and manufacturing due to
Fisker’s FF-PAD proprietary
process. Through
Fisker’s FF-PAD proprietary
process, Fisker is currently working with Magna Steyr (“Magna”) to develop a proprietary electric vehicle platform called FM29 that will underpin Fisker Ocean and at least one additional nameplate. Fisker intends to cooperate with one or more additional industry-leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), technology companies,
and/or tier-one automotive
suppliers for platform sharing and access to procurement networks, while focusing on key differentiators in innovative design, software and user interface. Multiple platform-sharing partners is intended to accelerate growth in Fisker’s portfolio of electric vehicle offerings. Fisker envisions
a go-to-market strategy
with
both web- and app-based digital
sales, loan financing approvals, leasing, and service management, with limited reliance on
traditional brick-and-mortar “sales-and-service” dealer
networks. Fisker believes that this customer-focused approach will drive revenue, user satisfaction and higher margins than competitors.
The Business Combination
Fisker was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 13, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. (“Spartan”), formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination
21

with one or more businesses. Spartan completed its IPO in August 2018. In October 2020, Spartan’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into Fisker Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Fisker Inc.) a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Fisker”), with Legacy Fisker surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spartan (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, Spartan changed its name to Fisker Inc.
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the registrantSpartan changed its name from Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. to Fisker Inc.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Spartan was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Fisker issuing stock for the net assets of Spartan, accompanied by a recapitalization, whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets was recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Fisker.
Key Trends, Opportunities and Uncertainties
Fisker is
a pre-revenue company
and believes that its future performance and success depends to a substantial extent on the ability to capitalize on the following opportunities, which in turn is subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Amended Form

Magna Steyr / FM29 Platform (Fisker Ocean)
On October 14, 2020, Fisker and Spartan entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Magna setting forth certain terms for the development of a full electric vehicle (the “Cooperation Agreement”). TheThat Cooperation Agreement sets out the main terms and conditions of the upcoming operational phase agreements (the “Operational Phase Agreements”) that will extend from the Cooperation Agreement and other agreements with Magna (or its affiliates) that are expected to bewere subsequently entered into by and between Fisker and Magna (or its affiliates). On December 17, 2020, Fisker entered into the platform-sharing and initial manufacturing Operational Phase Agreements referenced in the Cooperation Agreement. On June 12, 2021, Fisker entered into the detailed manufacturing agreement referenced in the Cooperation Agreement. We are creating FM29, a unique EV platform, that will have unique Fisker intellectual property. By working with a proven contract manufacturer such as Magna Steyr, we can accelerate our time to market, reduce vehicle development costs, and gain access to an established global supply chain. Our proprietary FF-PAD process is hardware agnostic which will enable us to collaborate with multiple EV platform developers for the production of future vehicles and develop rapid derivatives and improvements to our current FM29 Platform. Since the inception of our Cooperation Agreement, we have added significant certified content and tailored the FM29 platform into a proprietary Fisker platform where we can leverage our intellectual property and technology for certain systems and subsystems in future vehicles and will increase efficiency in vehicle development and speed to bring vehicles to market.

On May 13, 2021, the Company announced it signed framework agreements with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) supporting the joint development and manufacturing of project ‘PEAR’ (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution), a project to develop a new breakthrough electric vehicle. Under the agreements, the Company and Foxconn will jointly invest into Project PEAR, with each company taking proceeds from the successful delivery of the program. The Company will work with Foxconn on a new lightweight platform designated ‘FP28’, leveraging technological expertise from each company to support Project PEAR and potential future vehicles. In support of the work on Project PEAR, the two companies have established a

These
co-operations
allow Fisker to focus on vehicle design, supply chain / procurement, vehicle integration, strong brand affiliation and a differentiated customer experience. Fisker intends to leverage multiple EV platforms and Fisker intellectual property to accelerate its time to market, rapidly expand its product portfolio, reduce vehicle development costs and gain access to an established global supply chain of batteries and other components.
Fisker believes that its business model will reduce the considerable execution risk typically associated with new car companies. Through suchFisker's proprietary platform, sharing, component sourcing and manufacturing partnerships, Fisker believes it will be able to accelerate its time to market and reduce vehicle development costs. Fisker remains
on-track
for Fisker Ocean
start-of-production
in Q4 on November 17, 2022 and intends to meet timing, cost and quality expectations while optimally matching its cost structure with its projected production ramp by leveraging such partnerships and trained
24

workforces. Remaining hardware agnostic allows for selection of partners, components, and manufacturing decisions to be based on both timeline and cost advantages and enables Fisker to focus on delivering truly innovative design features, a superior customer experience, and a leading user interface that leverages sophisticated software and other technology advancements.
Fisker continues to negotiate a potential relationship with several other industry-leading OEMs
and tier-one automotive
suppliers. Fisker has entered into agreements covering the Magna baseFM29 platform, development and engineering services, and manufacturing, among others. Extended negotiation of the specific project-related agreements, the sourcing of components or labor at higher than anticipated cost, or any delays in sourcing suppliers of sustainable parts may delay Fisker’s commercialization plans or require it to change the anticipated pricing of its vehicles. Such delays could be caused by a variety of factors, some of which may be out of Fisker’s control. For example, the outbreak of
the COVID-19 pandemic
has severely restricted international travel, which may make it more difficult for Fisker to conclude agreements with partners outside the United States. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Fisker—Fisker faces risks related to health epidemics, including the
recent COVID-19 pandemic,
which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.” Unanticipated events, delays in negotiations by third parties and any required changes in Fisker’s current business plans could materially and adversely affect its business, margins and cash flows.
23

Market Trends and Competition
Fisker anticipates robust demand for the Fisker Ocean, based on its award-winning design, its unique sustainability features, the management team’s experience
and know-how and,
in particular, the growing acceptance of and demand for EVs as a substitute for gasoline-fueled vehicles. Many independent forecasts are assuming that EV’s as percentage of global auto sales will grow from less than 3% in 2020 to more than 20% in 2030. One such report from RBC, published in October 2020, assumes sales of EV’s to grow from less than 2.0 million units globally (less than 3% of total volume) to 25 million units in 2030 (approximately 25% of total volume), a 29% CAGR. The EV market is highly competitive, but Fisker believes it will remain less competitive than the ICE market for some time. For example, there are 79 nameplates sold in the US market within the compact and midsize SUV category currently, while most observers expect no more than
10-20
EV’s in those segments at the time Fisker launches, most of which are expected to be priced well-abovewell above Fisker Ocean. Fisker believes the market will be broken down into three primary consumer segments: the white space segment, the value segment, and the conservative premium segment. See “
Information About Fisker—Sales – Go to Market Strategy
.” Fisker expects to sell approximately 50% of its vehicles within the white space segment, appealing to customers who want to be part of the new EV movement and value sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. This is supported by a survey of Fisker’s current reservation-holders which found that over 50% currently own
non-premium
branded vehicles and over 50% currently own
non-SUV’s
(i.e. (i.e. cars, hatchbacks, minivans, etc)etc.). Fisker believes that it will be well positioned to be the primary alternative to Tesla in this segment with the Ocean priced around the base price of the Model 3 and below the base price of the Model Y. While Fisker will compete with other EV startups, many of them are moving into the higher luxury priced segments due to the lack of volume pricing of components that Fisker expects to obtain through platform sharing partnerships with industry-leading OEMs
and/or tier-one automotive
suppliers. To expand market share and attract customers from competitors, Fisker must continue to innovate and convert successful research and development efforts into differentiated products, including new EV models.
Fisker is also working to quantify the sustainability advancements and claims that the Fisker brand would produce the most sustainable vehicles in the world, which it believes will be an increasingly important differentiator among a growing subset of consumers. To this end, an internal analysis resulted in an announcement in June 2021 that Fisker aims to produce a 100% climate-neutral vehicle, without the use of purchased carbon offsets, in 2027. In Fisker’s pursuit of these objectives, it will be in competition with substantially larger and better capitalized vehicle manufacturers. While Fisker believes that
the low-capital-intensity platform
sharing partnership strategy, together
with direct-to-customer commercialization,
provides the Company with an advantage relative to traditional and other established auto manufacturers, Fisker’s better capitalized competitors may seek to undercut the pricing or compete directly with Fisker’s designs by replicating their features. In addition, while Fisker believes that its strong management team forms the necessary backbone to execute on its strategy, the Company expects to compete for talent, as Fisker’s future growth will depend on hiring qualified and experienced personnel to operate all aspects of the business as it prepares to launch commercial operations.
25

Commercialization
Fisker currently anticipates commencing production of the Fisker Ocean in the fourth quarter of 2022, with initial customer deliveries in late 2022 at the earliest. Production commencement is dependent upon Fisker entering into definitive platform sharing agreements with one or more industry-leading OEMs
and/or tier-one automotive
suppliers. Failure to enter into these agreements timely could result in being unable to begin production in the timeframe anticipated.
As of May 14, 2021,2, 2022, we have receivedare over 14,77545,000 retail reservations and 1,4001,600 fleet reservations. This is after accounting for about 1,3004,100 retail customers who have canceled over time. Fisker has obtained over 64,000 indications of interest through the Flexee app (meaning the Flexee App has been downloaded and the potential purchaser has provided a contact phone number) and internet, reflecting the significant public interest in the Fisker Ocean.
Since we first opened our reservation system for the Ocean, we have offered prospective customers the opportunity to make a reservation with the flexibility to cancel at any time. Our retail reservation system is driven through our app and website, with each vehicle reservation requiring a $250 deposit and limited to one reservation per registered cellphone number. In the event that someone wishes to cancel, there is a 10% charge ($25) to cover third party and administrative costs for processing the refunds in a timely and secure manner. The retail reservations and cancellations are enabled by our mobile and web Fisker Flexee app, and our potential customers make their reservation and cancellation directly on these automated platforms. A second type of reservation are those made by corporations and fleet operators. We devote significant time and resources to our fleet customers, ensuring the Ocean is the right choice for their business and completing an MOU. As we make more details of the Ocean available and our brand profile increases, we would expect both retail and fleet reservations to organically increase. Further, as we get closer to launch, we will be working with our prospective customers to transition their reservation into a contracted order. This would include the detailed vehicle specification (model series, color etc.) and delivery date. We will continue to share our reservation and contracted order data transparently through frequent updates to the market.
Fisker plans to initially market its vehicles through
its direct-to-consumer sales
model, leveraging its proprietary Flexee app, which will serve as
a one-stop-shop for
all components of its EMaaS business model. Over time, Fisker plans to develop Fisker Experience Centers in select cities in North America and Europe, which will enable prospective customers to experience Fisker vehicles through test drives and virtual and augmented reality. Fisker also intends to enter, in each launch market, into third-party service partnerships with credible vehicle service organizations with established service facilities, operations and technicians. These companies’ services will be integrated into and booked via the Flexee app in order to create a
hassle-free, app-based service
experience for Fisker’s customers delivered at home, at work, or with
a pick-up and
delivery service booked online. For North America and United Kingdom, as examples, Fisker has entered into
non-exclusive Memorandum
of Understandings with divisions of Cox Automotive related to fleet management services. Fisker will continue to seek opportunities to build the service partnership model.
Over time, Fisker aims to transform the EV sales model through the flexible lease model, under which customers will be able to utilize a vehicle on
a month-to-month basis
at an anticipated initial cost of $379 per month for the base model, with the ability to terminate the lease or upgrade their vehicle at any time. Development of a fleet of high value, sustainable EVs will allow Fisker to offer these flexible lease options to capture more customers. Fisker intends to require
a non-refundable up-front payment
of $3,000 under the flexible lease model, which the Company believes will reduce its
24

cash flow risk and incentivize customers to keep their vehicles for a period of time. Fisker anticipates that, over time, it will acquire a substantial fleet of used EVs available for sale or further flexible lease by Fisker, which it believes will enhance its ability to maintain its premium brand and pricing.
Fisker believes its
digital, direct-to-consumer sales
model reflects today’s changing consumer preferences and is less capital intensive and expensive than the traditional automotive sales models. Fisker’s commercialization strategy is, however, relatively novel for the car industry, which has historically relied on extensive advertising and marketing, as well as relationships with physical car dealership networks. Should Fisker’s assumptions about the
26

commercialization of its vehicles prove overly optimistic or if the Company is unable to develop, obtain or maintain
the direct-to-consumer marketing
or service technology upon which its prospective customer base would rely, Fisker may incur delays to its ability to commercialize the Fisker Ocean. This may also lead Fisker to make changes in its commercialization plans, which could result in unanticipated marketing delays or cost overruns, which could in turn adversely impact margins and cash flows or require Fisker to change its pricing. Further, to the extent that Fisker doesn’t generate the margins it expects upon commercialization of the Fisker Ocean, Fisker may be required to raise additional debt or equity capital, which may not be available or may only be available on terms that are onerous to Fisker and its stockholders.
Regulatory Landscape
Fisker operates in an industry that is subject to and benefits from environmental regulations, which have generally become more stringent over time, particularly across developed markets. Regulations in Fisker’s target markets include economic incentives to purchasers of EVs, tax credits for EV manufacturers, and economic penalties that may apply to a car manufacturer based on its fleet-wide emissions ratings. See “
Information about Fisker—Government Regulation and Credits
.” For example, a federal tax credit of $7,500 may be available to U.S. purchasers of Fisker vehicles, which would bring the effective estimated purchase price of the base Fisker Ocean model to approximately $30,000. The current U.S. administration has indicated a desire to expand this program.On August 5, 2021, President Biden announced an executive order aimed at making half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 electric. Fisker recently issued a call to action to implement a program called “75 And More For 55 And Less”, which would include a
poin-of-sale
point-of-sale rebate (as opposed to the current tax credit) of $7,500 plus $10 for every mile of
EPA-certified
driving range, for any EV priced at $55,000 and less. Fisker believes this type of program would focus EV purchase support towards consumers that most require an incentive and would also incentivize all OEM’s to focus development efforts on affordable EV’s, as Fisker has done. Further, the registration and sale of Zero Emission Vehicles (“ZEVs”) in California will earn Fisker ZEV credits, which it may be able to sell to other OEMs
or tier-one automotive
suppliers seeking to access the state’s market. Several other U.S. states have adopted similar standards. In the European Union, where European car manufacturers are penalized for excessive fleet-wide emissions on the one hand and incentivized to produce low emission vehicles on the other, Fisker believes it willmay have the opportunity to monetize the ZEV technology through fleet emissions pooling arrangements with car manufacturers that may not otherwise meet their CO2 emissions targets. While Fisker expects environmental regulations to provide a tailwind to its growth, it is possible for certain regulations to result in margin pressures. For example, regulations that effectively impose EV production quotas on auto manufacturers may lead to an oversupply of EVs, which in turn could promote price decreases. As a pure play EV company, Fisker’s margins could be particularly and adversely impacted by such regulatory developments. Trade restrictions and tariffs, while historically minimal between the European Union and the United States where most of Fisker’s production and sales are expected, are subject to unknown and unpredictable change that could impact Fisker’s ability to meet projected sales or margins.

Key trends and economic factors affecting the automotive industry
Recent outbreaks in certain regions, including China where lock-downs due to COVID-19 have been imposed in more than 40 cities, may cause intermittent COVID-19-related disruptions in our supply chain. Though we have no operations or suppliers, who will produce Fisker Ocean components, located in Russia or Ukraine, our FM29 platform used to manufacture the Fisker Ocean is located in Graz, Austria and some of our key supplier operations are located in European countries. Actions taken by Russia in Ukraine could impact our suppliers, particularly our lower tier suppliers.
Globally, prices for commodities remain volatile for base metals (e.g., steel and aluminum), precious metals (e.g., palladium), and raw materials that are used in batteries for electric vehicles (e.g., lithium, cobalt, and nickel for batteries). Our Fisker Ocean is comprised mainly of steel which has experienced less volatility compared to aluminum. Further, we have agreed to our pricing in 2021 and early 2022 for our components under our long-term supply contracts, which reduces our exposure to commodity volatility and inflation in 2022. Our battery chemistries consist of a high-capacity pack that uses a lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cell chemistry with the second high-value pack based on lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) chemistry. We expect most of our vehicles sold in 2022 and 2023 will have premium trim levels, where margins are less sensitive, and NMC battery packs compared to our base model Sport which uses the LFP battery packs that do not contain nickel or cobalt.

Basis of Presentation
Fisker currently conducts its business through one operating segment. As a company with no commercial operations and limited revenues derived from merchandise sales, which inis not core to our ongoing business, Fisker’s activities to date have been limited and were conducted primarily in the United States and its historical results are reported under U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars. Upon commencement of commercial operations, Fisker expects to expand its global operations substantially, including in the USA and the European Union, and as a result Fisker expects its future results to be sensitive to foreign currency transaction and translation risks and other financial risks that are not reflected in its historical financial statements. As a result, Fisker expects that the financial results it reports for periods after it begins commercial operations will not be comparable to the financial results included in this Form

report or the amendedFisker’s Annual Report on Form
10-K/A.
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.

As a pre-revenue company with no commercial operations, Fisker’s activities to date have been limited and its historical results are reported under United States generally accepted accounting principles(“GAAP”) and in U.S. dollars. Upon commencement of commercial operations, Fisker expects to expand its global operations substantially, including in the USA and the European Union, and as a result Fisker expects its future results to be sensitive to foreign currency transaction and translation risks and other financial risks that are not reflected in its historical financial statements. As a result, Fisker expects that the financial results it reports for periods after it begins commercial operations will not be comparable to the financial results included in this Form 10-K or those incorporated by reference from the proxy statement.
Components of Results of Operations
Fisker is an early stage company and its historical results may not be indicative of its future results for reasons that may be difficult to anticipate. Accordingly, the drivers of Fisker’s future financial results, as well as the components of such results, may not be comparable to Fisker’s historical or projected results of operations.

Revenues
Fisker has not begun its primary commercial operations which will focus on the production and sale of its vehicles.currently does not generate any revenue from vehicle sales. Once Fisker commences production and commercialization of its vehicles, it expects that the significant majority of its revenue will be initially derived from direct sales of Fisker Ocean SUVs and, subsequently, from flexible leases of its vehicles. In 2021, Fisker launched its merchandise “Fisker Edition” where it sells direct to consumers Fisker branded apparel and goods. While merchandise sales are not intended to be significant portion of Fisker’s results once production of vehicles begins, Fisker generatedit will generate revenue in the first quarter of 2021.pre-production.
Cost of Goods Sold
To date, Fisker has not recorded cost of goods sold from its vehicle sales, as it has not recorded commercial revenues from the sales of its vehicles.sales. Once Fisker commences the commercial production and sale of its vehicles, it expects cost of goods sold to include mainly vehicle components and parts, including batteries, direct labor costs, amortized tooling costs and capitalized costs associated with the Magna warrants, and reserves for estimated warranty expenses. Related to the 2021 launch of “Fisker Edition” apparel and goods, Fisker realizedwill realize cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2021.sold.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related expenses for Fisker’s executive and other administrative functions and expenses for outside professional services, including legal, accounting and other advisory services.
Fisker is rapidly expanding its personnel headcount, in anticipation of the start of production of its vehicles. Accordingly, Fisker expects its general and administrative expenses to increase significantly in the near term and for the foreseeable future. For example, the company expects general and administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expenses (refer to non-GAAP financial measure discussed below), in the year ended December 31, 20212022 to be in the range of
$105-$30-$40120 million
as compared to $22.3$42.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Upon commencement of commercial operations, Fisker also expects general and administrative expenses to include facilities, marketing and advertising costs.
26

Research and Development Expense
To date, Fisker’s research and development expenses have consisted primarily of external engineering services in connection with the design of the Fisker Ocean model and development of the first prototype. As Fisker ramps up for commercial operations, it anticipates that research and development expenses will increase for the foreseeable future as the Company expands its hiring of engineers and designers and continues to invest in new vehicle model design and development of technology. For example, the company expects research and development expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expenses (refer to non-GAAP financial measure discussed below), in the year ended December 31, 20212022 to be in the range of $210 - $230$330-$380 million as compared to $21.1$286.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
Income TaxesTax Expense / Benefit
Fisker’s income tax provision consists of an estimate for U.S. federal and state income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in the tax law. Fisker maintains a valuation allowance against the full value of its U.S. and state net deferred tax assets because Fisker believes the recoverability of the tax assets is not more likely than not.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with the convertible senior notes.

Sales of branded apparel and goodsgoods totaled $22,000$12,000 with related costs of goods sold of $17,000$11,000 resulting in a gross marginprofit of $5,000$1,000 during the three-month period. Merchandise sales are ancillary revenues that will continue in the future but are not expected to constitute a significant portion of operations once Fisker commences production and commercialization of its vehicles.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $5.4$16.2 million or 277% from $0.4 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2020 to $5.8 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 to $22.0 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to increased salaried employee headcount, and the Company electing to offer covered medicalimproved benefits to all employees to alignin line with our human capital and ESG goals anddesigned to offer potential employees competitive compensation packages, and stock based compensation. Marketing and advertising efforts resulted in expense of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to potential employees, which increased general and administrative expenses by $0.2 millionminimal efforts in the corresponding first quarter of 2021 as the Company implemented its marketing strategies in the fourth quarter of 2021. General and administrative expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $174,000$1.8 million and $8,000$0.2 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. General and 2020, respectively.administrative expenses will increase during the remainder of the 2022 fiscal year as the Company continues to increase its workforce, engage with advisors to establish global strategies for direct and indirect taxes, and planning for entity-wide changes in its IT systems. Overall, total headcount for the Company increased to 203455 employees as of May 17, 2021,2, 2022, compared to 170 employees on March 31, 2021, 101169 employees as of DecemberMarch 31, 2020, and 81 employees as of October 29, 2020, the date of the closing of our reverse merger.

The increase primarily relates to an increasehigher headcount and achievement of key milestones in headcount of full-time employees as of March 31, 2021, and payments to suppliers indicating progress on serial designengineering and development of unique components.the design of components as the Company moves towards the start of production. In the first quarter of 2022, we continued the development phase of our prototype Fisker Oceans, which includes the purchase and expense of $39.5 million of prototype parts, and testing and validation. The first quarter of 2022 reflects higher research and development expenses as our last major design milestones were met and the Company transitions to prototype production and preparation for start of production. Reductions in research and development efforts for the Fisker Ocean over the remainder of 2022 are expected to be offset by increases in the development efforts associated with the Fisker PEAR. Research and development expenses includes stock-based compensation expense of $643,000$3.3 million and $10,000$0.6 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss)
Fisker recorded foreign currency gains of $1.3 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $22,000 during the three-months ended March 31, 2020 due to weakening Euro currency rates which resulted in favorable currency gains upon settlement of our Euro-denominated liabilities in the first quarter of 2021.rates. For the remainder of 2021, Fisker expects2022, we expect its EUR denominated transactions associated with our foreign operations and services provided by suppliers will increase significantly and will subject Fisker to greater fluctuation in realized gain and losses from foreign currencies.
Unrealized Gains Recognized on Equity Securities
Unrealized gains recognized on equity securities still held as of March 31, 2022 totaled $5.1 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2022.
Net Loss
Net loss was $122.1 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately $54.8 million from a net loss wasof $176.8 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $175.7 million from a net loss of $1.1 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2020, for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this Form
10-Q,
Fisker has yet to generate any revenue from its core business operations. To date, Fisker has funded its capital expenditures and working capital requirements through equity and convertible notes, as further discussed below. Fisker’s ability to successfully commence it primary commercial operations and expand its business will depend on many factors, including its working capital needs, the availability of equity or debt financing and, over time, its ability to generate cash flows from operations.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, Fisker’s cash and cash equivalents amountedamounted to $985$1,043 million.
29

In August 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $667.5 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2026. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes were $562.2 million, net of debt issuance costs and no debt outstanding.
the 2027 Capped Call Transactions discussed further in Note 8. The 2026 Notes mature on September 15, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2026 Notes were not convertible as of March 31, 2022.
Fisker expects its capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase substantially in 2021,2022, as it progresses toward production of the Fisker Ocean EV model, develop its customer support and marketing infrastructure and expand its research and development efforts. For example, Fisker expects cash usage to fund capital expenditures and other investing activities to be in the range of $210 million to $240 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $677,000 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Fisker believes that its cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination and issuance of the convertible senior notes will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Form
10-Q
and sufficient to fund its operations until it commences production of the Fisker Ocean. Fisker may, however, need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including unanticipated delays in negotiations with OEMs
and tier-one automotive
suppliers or other suppliers, supply chain challenges, disruptions due
to COVID-19, competitive
pressures, and regulatory developments, among other developments such as the collaboration on “Project PEAR” (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution) with Hon Hai Technology GroupFoxconn announced onin February 24, 2021. To the extent that Fisker’s current resources are insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements, Fisker may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than Fisker expects, Fisker may be forced to decrease its level of investment in product development or scale back its operations, which could have an adverse impact on its business and financial prospects.

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities
Fisker’s net cash flows used in operating activities to date have been primarily comprised of costs related to research and development, payroll and other general and administrative activities. As Fisker continues to accelerate hiring in line with development and production of the Ocean, Fisker expects its cash used in operating activities to increase significantly before it starts to generate any material cash flows from its business. Operating leaseLease commitments atas of March 31, 20212022, will result in cash payments of $0.5 million in 2021 and $2.2 million after 2021. Fisker’s new headquarters, Inception, located in Manhattan Beach, California, will commence in the second quarter of 2021 resulting incremental operating lease commitments of $1.2$6.7 million for the remainder of 2021, $3.8 million for 2022, and $15.9$9.2 million for 2023, and $30.7 million for 2024 and thereafter.

financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in financial and operational-decision making. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of a
non-GAAP
measure and its nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate
non-GAAP
measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore any
non-GAAP
measures the Company uses may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, both GAAP financial measures of Fisker’s financial performance and the respective
non-GAAP
measures should be considered together. Please see the reconciliation of
non-GAAP
financial measuremeasures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the tables below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Fisker’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the preparation of these financial statements, Fisker is required to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Fisker considers an accounting judgment, estimate or
31

assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our amended Annual Report on Form
10-K/A
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our amended Annual Report on Form
10-K/A
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply
to non-emerging growth
companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

Table of Contents
Prior to December 31, 2021, Fisker iswas an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Fisker expects to continue to takehas taken advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Fisker’s financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Effective December 31, 2021, Fisker exited its emerging growth company status and met the definition of a large accelerated filer, as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. The accommodations afforded to an emerging growth company will no longer apply.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Fisker has not, to date, been exposed to material market risks given its early stage of operations. Upon commencing commercial operations, Fisker expects to be exposed to foreign currency translation and transaction risks and potentially other market risks, including those related to interest rates or valuation of financial instruments, among others.
Foreign Currency Risk
Fisker’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, while certain of Fisker’s current and future subsidiaries are expected to have functional currencies in Euro, British pound sterling,Pound Sterling, Indian Rupee, and Chinese Yuan Renminbi reflecting their principal operating markets. Once Fisker commences commercial operations, it expects to be exposed to both currency transaction and translation risk. For example, Fisker expects its contracts with
OEMs and/or tier-one automotive
suppliers to be transacted in Euro or other foreign currencies. In addition, Fisker expects that certain of its subsidiaries will have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, meaning that such subsidiaries’ results of operations will be periodically translated into U.S. dollars in Fisker’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which may result in revenue and earnings volatility from period to period in response to exchange rates fluctuations. To date, Fisker has not had material exposureThe Company assesses whether opportunities exist to purchase foreign currencies with U.S. dollars to take advantage of favorable exchange rates. In April 2022, the Company purchased 130.1 million Euros for 140 million U.S. dollars, a currency exchange rate of 1 U.S. dollar for 1.076 Euro, which is designed to provide an economic hedge against future foreign currency fluctuations and has not hedged such exposure, although it may do so in the future.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
OurWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensureprovide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure,processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC rules and forms.
Under the supervisionforms, and with the participation ofthat such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including theour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluatedas appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.
Management, including the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b)under the Exchange Act) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required under
Rules 13a-15(e)
to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2021.procedures relative to their costs. Based on thatthis evaluation, theour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, theseas of March 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 due toat the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.reasonable level.
As of March 31, 2021, we have not experienced any significant impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees who are involved in our financial reporting processes and controls are working remotely due to
the COVID-19
pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing
the COVID-19
situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 as a result of a control related to the evaluation of accounting for complex transactions with potential derivative accounting implications that did not operate effectively in the instance of evaluating potential tender offer scenarios and valuation models associated with the repricing of warrant instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness resulted in the Restatement of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. We are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q thatquarter ended March 31, 2022, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please see Note 12,13, Commitments and Contingencies, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.report.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity and reputational harm and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information set forth below and other information contained elsewhere in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A.
Risk Factors
in our most recent amended Annual Report filed on Form
10-K/A,
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
We continue to face risks related to health epidemics, including the
recent COVID-19
pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We continue to face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the recent pandemic of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known
as COVID-19.
The impact
of COVID-19,
including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities (such as the ongoing lockdowns in Shanghai, China), has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread
of COVID-19
has also created a disruption in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world.
The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions,
quarantines, stay-at-home
or shelter-in-place orders,
and business shutdowns. These measures may adversely impact our employees and operations and the operations of its customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities. In addition, various aspects of our business cannot be conducted remotely. These measures by government authorities may remain in place in certain areas for a significant period of time and they are likely tomay continue to adversely affect our manufacturing plans, sales and marketing activities, business and results of operations.
The spread
of COVID-19
has caused us to modify our business practices, (including employee travel, recommending that
all non-essential
personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in sales activities, meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine is in the best interestsinterest of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. There is no certainty that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with
the COVID-19
pandemic, our operations will be impacted.
The full extent to which
the COVID-19
pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the emergence of variants, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Even after
the COVID-19
pandemic has substantially subsided, we may continue to experience an adverse impact to itsour business as a result of itsthe pandemic's global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
38

Table As an example, the ongoing lockdowns in Shanghai, China have impacted certain aspects of Contentsour business, including our ability to obtain materials from certain of our suppliers in the affected area on a timely basis.
Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment, or a decline in consumer confidence as a result of
the COVID-19
pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our vehicles. Under difficult economic conditions,
34

potential customers may seek to reduce spending by forgoing our vehicles for other traditional options or may choose to keep their existing vehicles and cancel reservations.
There are no comparable recent events that may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread
of COVID-19
and a pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of
the COVID-19
pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain.
FailureWe are dependent on our suppliers, a significant number of which are single or limited source suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to build our finance infrastructure and improve our accounting systems and controls could impair our ability to comply with the financial reporting and internal controls requirements for publicly traded companies.
As a public company, we will operate in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, which requires us to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the regulations of the NYSE, the rules and regulations of the SEC, expanded disclosure requirements, accelerated reporting requirements and more complex accounting rules. Company responsibilities required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include establishing corporate oversight and adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Effective internal controls aredeliver necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. Commencing with our fiscal year ending the year after the Business Combination is completed, we must perform system and process evaluation and testingcomponents of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in
our Form 10-K
filing for that year, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have never been required to test our internal controls within a specified period and, as a result, we may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner.
On May 6, 2021, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 31, 2021 should be restated to reflect the impact of this guidance by the SEC and accordingly, should no longer be relied upon. In connection with the restatement, the Company’s management reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures for the periods affected by the restatement. As a result of that reassessment, the Company’s management determined that its disclosure controls and procedures for such periods were not effective. This restatement of our financials has also resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
We anticipate that the process of building our accounting and financial functions and infrastructure will require significant additional professional fees, internal costs and management efforts. We expect that we will need to implement a new internal system to combine and streamline the management of our financial, accounting, human resources and other functions. However, such a system would likely require us to complete many processes and procedures for the effective use of the system or to run our business using the system, which may result in substantial costs. Any disruptions or difficulties in implementing or using such a system could adversely affect our controls and harm our business. Moreover, such disruption or difficulties could result in unanticipated costs and diversion of management’s attention. In addition, we may discover weaknesses in our system of internal financial and accounting controls and procedures that could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.
If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Actvehicles in a timely manner or ifand at prices and volumes acceptable to us could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects and operating results.
While we are unableplan to maintain proper and effective internal controls,obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, many of the components used in our vehicles will be purchased by us from a single source. While we believe that we may not be able to produceestablish alternate supply relationships and can obtain or engineer replacement components for our single source components, we may be unable to do so in the short term (or at all) at prices or quality levels that are acceptable to us. In addition, we could experience delays if our suppliers do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints.
Any disruption in the supply of components, including chip shortages, whether or not from a single source supplier, could temporarily disrupt production of our vehicles until an alternative supplier is able to supply the required material. Changes in business conditions, unforeseen circumstances, governmental changes, and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis. Any of the foregoing could materially and accurateadversely affect our results of operations, financial statements. If we cannot provide reliablecondition and prospects. For example, the consequences of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including international sanctions, the potential impact on inflation and increased disruption to supply chains may impact us, result in an economic downturn or recession either globally or locally within the U.S.or other economies, reduce business activity, spawn additional conflicts (whether in the form of traditional military action, reignited "cold" wars or in the form of virtual warfare such as cyberattacks) with similar and perhaps wider ranging impacts and consequences and have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial reportscondition and prospects. Such consequences also may increase our funding cost or prevent fraud,limit our access to the capital markets.
The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the global response to this conflict, may adversely affect our business and results of operationsoperations.
In response to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S., U.K. E.U., and others have imposed significant new sanctions and export controls against Russia and certain Russian individuals and entities. This conflict has also resulted in significant volatility and disruptions to the global markets. It is not possible to predict the short- or long-term implications of this conflict, which could be harmed, investorsinclude but are not limited to further sanctions, uncertainty about economic and political stability, increases in inflation rates and energy prices, supply chain challenges and adverse effects on currency exchange rates and financial markets. In addition, the U.S. government has reported that U.S. sanctions against Russia in response to the conflict could lose confidence in our reported financial informationlead to an increased threat of cyberattacks (including increased risk of data breach and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NYSE, the SECother threats from ransomware, destructive malware, distributed denial-of-service attacks, as well as fraud, spam, and fake accounts, or other regulatory authorities.illegal activity conducted generally by bad actors seeking to take advantage of us, our partners or end-customers) against U.S. companies. These increased threats could pose risks to the security of our information technology systems, our network and our product offerings and/or service offerings for our products, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data.
We have operations, as well as potential new customers, in Europe. If the conflict extends beyond Ukraine or further intensifies, it could have an adverse impact on our operations in Europe or other affected areas. While we do not offer any services in Ukraine, we are continuing to monitor the situation in that country and globally as well as assess its potential impact on our business. Although neither Russia nor Belarus constitutes a material portion of our business (if any), a significant escalation or further expansion of the conflict's current scope or related disruptions to the global markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares of our Class A Common Stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. All outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock previously held by
the pre-Business
Combination public stockholders at the completion of the Merger and a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issued as merger consideration in the Merger are freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for any shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, which are subject to restrictions under the Securities Act.
In connection with the completion of the Merger, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with our Former Sponsor, Spartan Energy Acquisition Sponsor LLC, Magna, Henrik Fisker, Dr. Geeta Gupta and certain former stockholders of Legacy Fisker, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale and granted certain other registration rights with respect to certain shares of Class A Common Stock held by our Former Sponsor, Magna, Henrik Fisker and Dr Geeta Gupta and their respective permitted transferees, in addition to the warrants originally issued in a private placement to our Former Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and the up to 9.36 million shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants. We also registered for resale the 50 million shares of our Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE shares”) issued in a private placement that closed immediately prior to the Merger and the 18.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of our publicly held warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. In accordance with the foregoing, we filed a registration statement on
Form S-1
under the Securities Act, which registration statement was declared effective on December 9, 2020, to register the resale of up to 133.78 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, including 50 million PIPE shares and 18.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of our outstanding publicly held warrants. Shares of Class A Common Stock sold under such registration statement can be freely sold in the public market. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
We have also filed a registration statement
on Form S-8
under the Securities Act to register shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be issued under our equity incentive plans from time to time, as well as any shares of our Class A Common Stock underlying outstanding options and restricted stock units that have been granted to our directors, executive officers and other employees, all of which are subject to time-vesting conditions. Shares registered under this registration statement will be available for sale in the public market upon issuance subject to vesting arrangements and exercise of options, as well as Rule 144 in the case of our affiliates.
We are unable to predict the effect that these sales, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, may have on the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock. If holders of these shares sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our Class A Common Stock in the public market, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline significantly and make it difficult for us to raise funds through securities offerings in the future.
The issuance of shares of our Class A Common Stock upon exercise of our outstanding Magna Warrants would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.
As of May 10, 2021, the Magna Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 6,484,993 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were outstanding and exercisable. The exercise price of these warrants are $0.01 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to holders of our Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In August 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement with certain counterparties for the sale of an aggregate of $667.5 million principal amount of 2.50% convertible senior notes due in September 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2026 Notes have been designated as green bonds, whose proceeds will be allocated in accordance with the Company’s green bond framework. The 2026 Notes consisted of a $625 million initial placement and an over-allotment option that provided the initial purchasers of the 2026 Notes with the option to purchase an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, of which $42.5 million was exercised. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated August 17, 2021. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes were $562.2 million, net of debt issuance costs and cash used to purchase the capped call transactions (“2026 Capped Call Transactions”) discussed below. The debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method.
Not applicable
The 2026 Notes are unsecured obligations which bear regular interest at 2.50% annually and will be payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2022. The 2026 Notes will mature on September 15, 2026, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The 2026 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election, at an initial conversion rate of 50.7743 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.70 per share of our Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at our option, on or after September 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2026 Notes at their option prior to June 15, 2026, in multiples of $1,000 principal amounts, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock and the applicable conversion rate of the 2026 Notes on such trading day;
if we call such 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or
on the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after June 15, 2026, the 2026 Notes are convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2026 Notes who convert the 2026 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, or in connection with a redemption may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change, holders of the 2026 Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the 2026 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2026 Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
