KEY COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS
The third quarter of 2024 represented a pivotal time for FF with
the launch of its second brand, Faraday X (FX), heralding a new
chapter in the Company's growth strategy. The FX brand targets the
mass market segment with two planned models: the FX 5, with a price
target between $20,000-$30,000, and the FX 6, with a price target
between $30,000-$50,000. Both models could potentially offer two
types of powertrains: range-extended AIEV and battery-electric
AIEV, with a planned target to roll off the assembly line by the
end of 2025, subject to securing necessary funding.
FF launched its "Everyone's AIEV, You Decide" co-creation
campaign, which has received thousands of responses, demonstrating
interest in high-performance, intelligent, cost-effective B-AIEV
and RE-AIEV products.
As part of the Company's Global Automotive Industry Bridge
Strategy, FF has established relationships with four Chinese OEMs,
having already entered into two strategic framework agreements and
two memoranda of understanding, with a goal of promoting
range-extended AIEV in the U.S. and integrating global automotive
components and supply chains into the U.S., energizing the U.S.
B-AIEV and RE-AIEV markets.
Max Ma, FF’s Head of Global Strategy and Product, along with
investor Sheikh Abdulla Al Qassimi, engaged in in-depth discussions
with potential FX partners in China after the FX launch event. They
achieved all the internal objectives set for these discussions. The
FX project is currently in the first phase of vehicle development,
with related work underway to achieve phase one milestones.
FF secured and closed on $30 million in gross financing. The
Company is establishing a presence in Ras Al Khaimah with business
registration and facility development, marking a significant
milestone in FF's "third pole" geographic strategy beyond the U.S.
and China markets. The Company recently signed a co-investment
agreement with Master Investment Group, led by Sheikh Abdulla Al
Qassimi, to establish its future regional headquarters in Ras Al
Khaimah. Through its Ras Al Khaimah-based entity, Faraday Future
Middle East FZ-LLC, FF signed agreements with the Ras Al Khaimah
Economic Zone (RAKEZ) for both current operations and a nearly
completed 108,000 square foot facility.
FF continued to advance its FF 91 2.0 program with the delivery
of an FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance to Born Leaders Entertainment,
bringing total deliveries to 14 vehicles. Born Leaders
Entertainment is now a user and Developer Co-Creation Officer for
FF collaborating on promotional opportunities and high-profile
engagements. The Company has achieved significant operational
improvements, including a 25% improvement in its First Inspection
Customer Craftsmanship Audit score and implementation of
manufacturing-related warranty improvements. Additionally, FF has
enhanced the user experience through software updates, including
expanded voice controls and improved navigation features. The
Company maintains its focus on production optimization and cost
reduction efforts.
On September 4, 2024, Nasdaq confirmed that the Company regained
compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. This followed a
series of actions to address deficiencies in timely filing of
periodic reports and a minimum bid price deficiency.
The Company enhanced its leadership capabilities with strategic
appointments, including Koti Meka as Chief Financial Officer and
Aaron Ma as Acting Head of EV R&D, strengthening its foundation
for continued innovation and market expansion.
OUTLOOK
The Company continues to execute its dual-brand strategy while
pursuing additional strategic financing opportunities. Plans for
the FX brand target initial launch in late 2025, contingent upon
securing necessary funding. FF remains focused on optimizing
operations, reducing costs, and sustainably expanding its global
presence through the China-U.S. Automotive Bridge Strategy and
Middle East initiatives.
