Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with US GAAP ("GAAP") as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement Lucid's consolidated financial results. Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow which are discussed below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) change in fair value of forward contracts, (6) change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrant liability, (7) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability and (8) stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that Lucid believes provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about Lucid's profitability. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities reduced by capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a performance measure that Lucid believes provides useful information to Lucid's management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.

These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to Lucid's historical performance. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting, and financial planning purposes. Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to Lucid's investors regarding measures of Lucid's financial condition and results of operations that Lucid uses to run the business and therefore allows investors to better understand Lucid's performance. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of Lucid's results as reported under GAAP.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP when understanding Lucid's

operating performance. In addition, other companies, including companies in Lucid's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Lucid's non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is presented at the end of the presentation.

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS RELEASE

Second Quarter Update

Lucid continued to achieve key milestones demonstrating product leadership. We debuted the 1,050 horsepower Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, recording the fastest time of any production car in the timed Shootout. And we continue to see strong demand for our vehicles with over 37,000 customer reservations representing potential sales of approx. $3.5 billion.

Despite all this positive momentum, along with the entire industry we experienced supply chain and logistics challenges that limited our ability to ramp our production volumes; a challenge compounded by limitations of our logistics systems. As a result, we are reducing our 2022 production guidance to a range of 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles.

We are taking decisive actions to remedy the challenges by bringing our logistics operations in-house, restructuring our logistics and manufacturing organization, adding to our leadership, and addressing these issues with relentless tenacity. We remain confident in our ability to overcome these near-term challenges and capture the tremendous opportunities ahead.

Highlights:

  • Announced launch plans for the European market concurrent with the opening of our first European Studio in Munich, Germany
  • Broke ground on the construction of AMP-2 in Saudi Arabia
  • Launched Lucid Financial Services, a digital platform offering a flexible financing process, including lease and loan purchase options
  • Secured a $1 billion ABL facility and was added to the Russell 1000 Index
