Recent Developments
On November 8, 2021, we reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and provided an updated 2022 outlook.
Summary of Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results:
• | Loss for the period of €26 million, compared to a loss for the period of €22 million in the third quarter of 2020 |
• | Adjusted EBITDA loss of €40 million, compared to a loss of €18 million in the third quarter of 2020 |
• | Administrative expenses of €38 million and non-capitalized R&D expenses of €9 million, compared to administrative expenses of €20 million and non-capitalized R&D expenses of €1 million in the third quarter of 2020 |
• | Capital expenditure of €81 million, compared to €21 million in the third quarter of 2020 |
• | Cash and cash equivalents of €381 million as of September 30th, 2021, compared to €1 million as of September 30th, 2020 |
• | Approximately 2,400 employees at the end of the third quarter of 2021 versus approximately 1,200 employees at the end of the third quarter of 2020 |
Milestones for Bus, Van and first two Microfactories:
We stated that our priorities for 2022 remain the Bus and Van programs and our first two microfactories. We currently plan for Start of Production (“SOP”) for Large Van to 2023 in order to prioritize additional Van variants and allow us to maximize re-use of components.
Other Microfactories Developments:
• | Rock Hill (US) installation has commenced and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021 with Bicester (UK) expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 2022 |
• | Bicester technology cells are being installed to build Vans for product validation this year |
• | Over 1,400 composite panels manufactured using production equipment in Bicester |
• | Over 1,850 high voltage battery modules assembled |
• | In-house developed Autonomous Mobile Robots (“AMRs”) are now capable of coordinating their movement over a wireless link. This allows multiple AMRs to operate as a single unit to move large or heavy loads |
Other Business Developments:
We stated that we continue to see strong demand for our vehicles as the industry shifts to electric vehicles. Our non-binding orders and LOIs increased to ca 64,000 vehicles, estimated as of November 2021 and including the 10,000 vehicle order as well as the 10,000 vehicle option from UPS.
Updated Microfactory and Other Cost Estimates
We stated that our first two microfactories in Rock Hill and Bicester are expected to start production in the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. Our third microfactory in Charlotte is expected to start production in the fourth quarter of 2022, and we plan for the construction of our fourth microfactory to start in 2023.
Total capital expenditure at our microfactories consists of both production and non-production (site readiness and logistics) capital expenditure:
• | Total capital expenditure at Rock Hill is expected to be approximately $50 million |
• | Bicester is our lab microfactory where we have prioritized being on time for Van SOP. As a result, we expect total capital expenditure at Bicester to be approximately $75 million |
• | From the learnings gained at Bicester, we expect total capital expenditure at Charlotte to be lower than at Bicester, with continued reductions in capital expenditure per microfactory as we scale beyond these initial microfactories |
Other Company Costs:
• | In order to de-risk SOP and enable us to scale, we are incurring additional costs, including: 1) a decision to assemble battery modules and bring logistics in-house, which is adding capital expenditure and operating expenditure; 2) pre-payments to LG Energy Systems to secure battery cell line capacity for the next several years; and 3) higher selling, general and administrative expenses as we scale sales, finance and legal |
• | In addition, we are experiencing industry-wide increases in the expected cost of raw materials including aluminum and petrochemicals |
• | We also expect higher working capital in our first factories to ensure we have the necessary components and parts to start production of our vehicles |
Reduced Vehicle Volumes and Revenue for 2022
We also announced that subsequent to the business combination, we had revised certain aspects of our business plan and that our previous long-term forecasts should no longer be relied upon.
Since the business combination, we have invested more to further develop our platforms, and to secure components and batteries for production. As a result, we have revised our anticipated microfactory rollout, and now expect significantly lower vehicle volumes and revenue in 2022. Future growth is dependent on the number of microfactories we can deploy, which is a function of our access to capital.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This prospectus supplement includes Adjusted EBITDA, which we utilize to assess the financial performance of our business that is not a measure recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This non-IFRS measure should not be considered an alternative to performance measures determined in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating loss, see the reconciliation table included later in this prospectus supplement.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus supplement contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the products offered by us and the markets in which we operate and our projected future results. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on management’s belief or interpretation of information currently available. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including, but not limited to: (i) the impact of COVID-19 on our business; (ii) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which we operate; (iii) the risk that we and our current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize our products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; (iv) the risk that we may never achieve or sustain profitability; (v) the risk that we experience difficulties in managing our growth and expanding operations; (vi) the risk that third-parties suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; (vii) the risk that the utilization of microfactories will not provide the expected benefits due to, among other things, the inability to locate appropriate buildings to use as microfactories, microfactories needing a larger than anticipated factory footprint and our inability to deploy microfactories in the anticipated time frame; (viii) the risk that the orders that have been placed for vehicles, including the order from UPS, are cancelled or modified; (ix) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to our products and services; (x) the risk that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and (xi) the risk that we are unable to secure or protect our intellectual property.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021, as amended, and other documents filed by us with the SEC from time to time. In addition, forecasts about future costs and other financial metrics and our expectations as to our ability to execute on our current business plan in the near term and the longer term are based on a number of assumptions we make, including the following assumptions that our management believed to be material:
• | Operational assumptions, including, the development and commercialization of our vehicles, the roll out of our microfactory manufacturing locations, the production capacity of our microfactories, the selection of our products by customers in the commercial van and bus industry, growth in the various markets Arrival is targeting, average selling prices and resulting sales of vehicles. |
• | The mix of products produced and sold in combination with corresponding costs, including material and component costs, assembly costs, manufacturing costs, and costs related to product warranties. Many of these costs are forecasted to vary significantly as we commence production in our microfactories. |
• | Our ability to raise capital necessary to execute on our current business plan and production timeline, including the roll-out of our microfactories, as well as to maintain our ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts and improve infrastructure |
• | Capital expenditure is based on a number of assumptions regarding the expenditure required to build our microfactories, including the cost of initial set up of factory facilities and the cost of manufacturing and assembly equipment. |
In making the foregoing assumptions, our management relied on a number of factors, including: our experience in the automotive industry; our experience in the period since the inception of the Company and current pricing estimates for prototype vehicles and vehicle components as well as the projected costs for first factory locations that are already in development; our best estimates of the timing for the development and commercialization of our vehicles and overall vehicle development process; our best estimates of current and future customers purchasing our vehicles; and third-party forecasts for industry growth. Forecasts of future financial metrics are inherently uncertain, and actual results may differ significantly from forecasts based on our assumptions underlying those forecasts at this time.
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. We do not give any assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
