Commenting on the results for the three and nine months that ended June 30, 2024, and recent Company developments, CEO and chairman David Michery stated: "We narrowed our loss in the quarter and year-to-date. We are positioning our fiscal Q4 for strong year-over-year growth. I am thankful to our team and our efforts in scaling our commercial EV business in the U.S. and internationally."

Recent Highlights Include:

The Company has secured a substantial $250 million new financing commitment; with $50 million already received, $50 million as a one-year additional investment right where the investors have the right to provide additional financing, and $150 million pursuant to an equity line of credit.

In July 2024, Mullen's Class 1 EV cargo van received approval for the MOR-EV Program, granting a $3,500 rebate in Massachusetts. When combined with the available $7,500 federal tax credit, the net effective cost of the Mullen ONE would be approximately $23,500.

Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months EndedJune 30, 2024

For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we invoiced for 377 vehicles valued at $16.8 million. The Company has deferred the revenue and accounts receivable recognition until invoices are paid and the return provision on the vehicles is nullified by the dealer's sale of the vehicle to the end user.

Net loss and loss per share

The net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends was $289.9 million, or $37.92 net loss per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends of $792.7 million, or $5,544.35 loss per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

The net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, of $289.9 million included non-cash impairment charges recorded last quarter (Quarter ended March 31, 2024) totaling $105.5 million primarily due to future funding uncertainties and a decrease in the Company's market capitalization.

Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity was $53.0 million as of June 30, 2024, versus $272.8 million at September 30, 2023. The decrease in stockholders' equity for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, reflects the impairment charges of $105.5 million and other operating losses of $225.4 million offset by warrant exercises, notes conversions, stock-based compensation and other equity transactions.

Liquidity

We had total cash (including cash equivalents and restricted cash) of $4.0 million on June 30, 2024 versus $155.7 million on Sept. 30, 2023. The working capital as of June 30, 2024, was negative and amounted to $59.0 million, or $10.4 million if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock. This compares to a positive $58.5 million of working capital or $133.3 million of working capital on Sept. 30, 2023, if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities settled in common stock.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we paid off $4.9 million in current notes payable that was secured by a mortgage on our Tunica, Mississippi, facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, new senior secured convertible notes with warrants were issued for cash totaling $12.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, a portion of notes and accumulated interest were converted into shares of the Company's common stock. Current notes payable as of June 30, 2024, were $2.7 million compared to $7.5 million of current notes payable as of September 30, 2023 (balances include debt discounts) reflecting the pay-off of the Tunica mortgage.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, investors purchased an additional aggregate principal amount of $39.5 million, for $37.5 million in cash after deducting the 5% original issue discount.

About Mullen

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles ("EVs") with two United States-based vehicle plants located in Tunica, Mississippi, (120,000 square feet) and Mishawaka, Indiana (650,000 square feet). In August 2023, Mullen began commercial vehicle production in Tunica. In September 2023, Mullen received IRS approval for federal EV tax credits on its commercial vehicles with a Qualified Manufacturer designation that offers eligible customers up to $7,500 per vehicle. As of January 2024, both the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, are California Air Resource Board ("CARB") and EPA certified and available for sale in the U.S. Recently, CARB issued HVIP approval on the Mullen THREE, Class 3 EV truck, providing up to a $45,000 cash voucher at time of vehicle purchase. The Company has also recently expanded its commercial dealer network with the addition of Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group and Eco Auto, providing sales and service coverage in key Midwest, West Coast and Pacific Northwest and New England markets. The Company also recently announced Foreign Trade Zone ("FTZ") status approval for its Tunica, Mississippi, commercial vehicle manufacturing center. FTZ approval provides a number of benefits, including deferment of duties owed and elimination of duties on exported vehicles.
