NEWARK, Calif., Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced electric vehicles, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The earnings presentation is available on its investor relations website (https://ir.lucidmotors.com).
Lucid reported Q2 revenue of $200.6 million on deliveries of 2,394 vehicles and expects to manufacture approximately 9,000 vehicles in 2024. Lucid ended the second quarter with approximately $4.28 billion of total liquidity.
“I’m very encouraged by our sales and market share momentum we’re experiencing, the benefits we’re realizing from our cost optimization programs, and the excitement that’s been building into the Lucid Gravity launch, setting a strong foundation for the rest of the year,” said Peter Rawlinson, CEO and CTO of Lucid. “The tremendous financial value potential our technology enables is now becoming better recognized, and our achievement of a landmark efficiency of 5.0 miles per kilowatt hour, ahead of where we anticipated, is a further proof point of our leadership as a technology company.”
“Our Q2 financial performance reflects the positive momentum of increased sales of Lucid Air and the results of our cost reduction efforts, which contribute to the journey toward improving gross margin,” said Gagan Dhingra, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer at Lucid. “We ended the second quarter with $4.28 billion in total liquidity and remain committed to maintaining a healthy balance sheet to execute on our strategic vision. The additional $1.5 billion commitment by an affiliate of the PIF announced today is expected to provide sufficient liquidity into at least the fourth quarter of 2025.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with US GAAP (“GAAP”) as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our condensed consolidated financial results. Lucid’s non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders, and Free Cash Flow, which are discussed below.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) restructuring charges, (7) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (8) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (9) change in fair value of derivative liability associated with Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (10) accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party). Lucid believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to Lucid’s management and investors about Lucid’s financial performance.
Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders excluding (1) stock-based compensation, (2) restructuring charges, (3) change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, (4) change in fair value of equity securities of a related party, (5) change in fair value of derivative liability associated with Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (6) accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party).
Lucid defines and calculates Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders as Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders divided by weighted-average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders.
Lucid believes that Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders financial measures provide investors with useful information to evaluate performance of its business excluding items not reflecting ongoing operating activities.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Lucid believes that Free Cash Flow 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 our 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 our 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 below.

Short Documentary “South China Sea: Our Story” Highlights Regional Peace and Cooperation
Published
11 minutes agoon
July 20, 2026By
BEIJING, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the waters of the South China Sea are increasingly stirred by geopolitical rivalry, how do the people who live around this vast expanse of blue see the waters they call home? On July 12, the Voice of the South China Sea, a platform of China Media Group (CMG), released the short documentary “South China Sea: Our Story,” which explores a vision of peace, cooperation, and development through the perspectives of a fisherman, a scholar, and a scientist.
Lu Jiabing, a fisherman from Tanmen Township in Hainan, is an inheritor of the Geng Lu Bu – a traditional handwritten navigation guide passed down through generations of Chinese fishermen in the South China Sea. Guided by its routes, he has sailed to the major islands, reefs, and shoals across the South China Sea, retracing the voyages of his ancestors. In his view, this is not merely a traditional way of life for Chinese fishermen; more importantly, it carries forward the wisdom and courage of the generations who first ventured into these waters.
Wu Shicun, a Chinese scholar who has devoted his life to the study of the South China Sea, believes that the historical record should speak for itself. Through irrefutable historical evidence, he hopes to show the international community that the South China Sea is a homeland developed and sustained by generations of Chinese people, and equally, a shared maritime homeland for the countries that border it – one whose peace and stability should be safeguarded through joint efforts.
Huang Hui, a Chinese marine scientist, has turned her attention to the shared ecological challenges facing the world’s oceans. To help protect coral reef ecosystems from the threat of mass bleaching, she has led her team in establishing the world’s largest coral reef ecological restoration demonstration area in the South China Sea, while also actively engaging in international cooperation on coral reef conservation.
“South China Sea: Our Story” is jointly produced by the Voice of the South China Sea, a platform under CMG’s Chinese Language Programming Center, together with the Huayang Center for Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance, and the National Institute for South China Sea Studies.
Structured around three chapters – Homeland, Protection, and Renewal – the documentary responds to the international community’s shared aspiration for a “sea of peace, friendship, and cooperation,” and adds a warm human touch to the story of regional cooperation and development in the South China Sea.
