NEWARK, Calif., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and outlined a comprehensive operational reset focused on strengthening execution, reducing cash burn and improving the customer experience.

“Lucid has leading technology, compelling products and deeply committed people, but potential is not performance,” said Silvio Napoli, CEO of Lucid. “We are going back to basics, with a clear focus on cash, customers, and culture. We are focused on delivering on our four must win priorities, including our $1.4 billion cash flow improvement plan and the advancement of our Robotaxi, AMP-2, and Midsize programs, which will establish a strong foundation for Lucid’s next chapter.”

“Silvio and his leadership team are transforming the company, and the Board stands firmly behind their actions,” said Turqi Alnowaiser, Chairman of Lucid. “The actions underway are intended to strengthen the company’s execution, improve the customer experience, and translate Lucid’s technology and product leadership into long-term value for customers and shareholders.”

Three Priorities Guiding Lucid’s Operational Reset

Lucid is refocusing the organization around three priorities designed to improve execution and strengthen the business.

Cash and Cost. Lucid is applying greater discipline to spending, investment decisions and capital allocation, while protecting the technologies and programs most important to its long-term competitiveness.

The company has deliberately reduced production to better align output with anticipated demand, convert inventory into deliveries and cash, and improve working capital.

Customer and Quality. Lucid is strengthening the ownership experience to match the performance of its vehicles, with a focus on product readiness, delivery experience, service responsiveness and parts availability as we invest in technicians and dedicated staff to reduce wait times by one third this year.

Culture and Team. Lucid is simplifying the organization, reducing layers and clarifying accountability to accelerate decisions and build a culture of ownership, performance and consistent execution.

The new structure halves the number of direct reports to the CEO and places experienced leaders in key roles across finance, technology, customer experience, transformation, digital and program execution. These changes are intended to accelerate decision-making, clarify ownership and build a performance-driven culture.

Four Strategic Projects

Lucid has identified four must-win projects.  

$1.4 billion cash savings plan. Lucid has identified $1.4 billion in cash reductions in 2026, including projected savings of approximately $600 million to $800 million in inventory, approximately $500 million in capital expenditures, and approximately $200 million in operating expenses. The operating expense actions include projected savings from the U.S. workforce reduction announced in June, expected to provide approximately $158 million in annualized savings. This represents the initial output of the company’s broader business review underway.

Robotaxi. The company’s robotaxi program with Uber and Nuro is a top priority and an important opportunity to extend Lucid’s technology beyond privately owned vehicles. The program is in active testing and validation, supported by a fleet of nearly 100 vehicles across the San Francisco Bay Area and Houston. The company has begun delivering production-validation Lucid Gravity vehicles to Nuro. Moving forward, this project will be part of Lucid Technologies, a dedicated business unit bringing together AI, advanced driver-assistance, and digital capabilities.

AMP-2. Lucid’s factory in Saudi Arabia is transitioning from construction to industrialization. Manufacturing systems across stamping, body, paint and final assembly are being installed and commissioned in preparation for production trials.

Midsize. Continued progress on the Midsize program, with Atlas drive units and prototype vehicles advancing through validation, durability testing, crash certification, battery-pack manufacturing validation, and cold-weather testing in New Zealand.

Second Quarter 2026 Performance

Lucid produced 4,774 vehicles and delivered 3,953 vehicles during the second quarter. The company moderated production to better align output with anticipated deliveries, reduce inventory and preserve cash.

Lucid reported second quarter revenue of $405 million and ended the quarter with $3.0 billion in total liquidity. Recently secured financing, in conjunction with operational actions the company is taking, is expected to provide sufficient liquidity runway well into 2027.

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 Lucid’s condensed consolidated financial results. Lucid’s non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted), adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted), and free cash flow, which are discussed below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders (basic) before (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation, (6) workforce reduction 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 liabilities and subscription agreements associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), (10) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (11) gain on extinguishment of debt. 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 (diluted) is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) excluding (1) stock-based compensation, (2) workforce reduction 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 liabilities and subscription agreements associated with redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party), and (6) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock (related party).

Lucid defines and calculates adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted) as adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders (diluted).

Lucid believes that adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders (diluted) and adjusted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (diluted) financial measures provide investors with useful information to evaluate the 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 its 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 below.

Consilient Expands Access to Federated AI-Powered Financial Crime Solutions in AWS Marketplace, Including for Use in AWS GovCloud (US)

Published

on

By

Consilient’s Federated AML and fraud detection, synthetic financial-crime data, SAR analysis, and open-source intelligence are now available through AWS Marketplace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consilient, the leading provider of federated AI-powered financial-crime discovery and detection technology, today announced that its solutions are now available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, including for use in AWS GovCloud (US). The offering provides financial institutions, fintechs, and U.S. government organizations with a streamlined way to discover, procure, and deploy Consilient’s capabilities through AWS Marketplace.

Customers now have access to Consilient’s Federated AI ecosystem and four complementary products:

Federated Learning Models and Exchange: Behavioral machine-learning models, deployed and shared through a secure federated network that continuously improve by learning across institutions and data sets, without any data moving or leaving the institution’s environment. Covering core anti-money laundering (AML) typologies and specific high-risk financial criminal and fraud activities, the Consilient models also surface hidden risks and emerging typologies that no single institution could detect alone.Federated Synthetic Data: Realistic, labeled examples of rare, emerging, and underrepresented financial-crime risks to support model development, evaluation, and improvement when historical cases and data are limited.SAR Analyzer: AI-assisted analysis of Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) narratives to connect related entities and cases, uncover recurring risk patterns, and turn investigative findings into reusable detection opportunities.OSINT Agent: Open-source and external intelligence on individuals, businesses, ownership, and relationships to help investigators assess risk with fuller context.

Customers can now deploy Consilient flexibly within their AWS environment, taking advantage of shared insights through Consilient’s federated exchange and capabilities while ensuring data remains local, secure, and private.

“Financial-crime teams need more effective and dynamic ways to find emerging risks without compromising sensitive data or adding unnecessary friction to procurement. In proven deployments at Tier-1 financial institutions, Consilient has improved efficiency by 75% and increased detection effectiveness by 4x, uncovering hidden risks that existing systems simply cannot see. Availability in AWS Marketplace makes it easier for financial institutions and government agencies to access these capabilities on a continuous basis, including our newer SAR Analyzer and Federated Synthetic Data products, within the secure, compliant infrastructure they require,”  Ajit Tharaken, Chief Executive Officer, Consilient.

Consilient’s availability in AWS GovCloud (US) reflects growing demand from U.S. government agencies and regulated institutions for financial-crime detection capabilities that meet the highest standards of security and compliance, areas where federated learning’s data-local architecture is a natural fit for cloud infrastructure.  Consilient allows for more dynamic public-private insight sharing and feedback without having to share or move data.

Consilient’s federated learning approach allows approved model updates and insights to strengthen detection across participating institutions without transferring the underlying customer data. Industry estimates suggest existing rules-based systems generate false positive rates of up to 98%, creating enormous operational overhead for compliance teams.  Consilient’s federated capabilities enable more efficient and effective risk discovery.

Consilient’s wider portfolio combines its federated approach with AI-assisted investigation, external intelligence, and synthetic data to address structural inefficiencies of current approaches and support the detection of complex, emerging financial-crime risks dynamically. Consilient’s solutions are now deployable within AWS infrastructure.

To learn more about Consilient’s offerings, visit Consilient.com or view its listing in AWS Marketplace at https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-3goaqbwjfiffo.

About Consilient
Consilient is the first company to apply federated AI for the detection and prevention of financial crime and fraud risk.  Consilient’s mission is to transform how the world prevents financial crime. 

Consilient enables financial institutions and regulators to transform financial crime detection by learning from patterns of behavior across institutions and borders, without ever sharing or moving data. Using federated learning, Consilient generates collective and constantly improving insights across data sets, making dynamic industry-wide collaboration to detect financial-crime risk possible for the first time. It reveals complex and emerging threats that cannot be detected within the boundaries of any single institution, improving risk discovery, increasing precision, and enabling more effective prioritization while maintaining strict data privacy and governance standards.

Co-founded and chaired by Juan Zarate, the first-ever U.S. Treasury Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and former Deputy National Security Advisor for Combating Terrorism, Consilient was built to address the structural limitations of siloed detection systems and offer a more effective, collaborative, and systemic approach to preventing financial-crime and fraud while strengthening data privacy.

DongA Science turns 40 years of science journalism into AI tutor AiR NOVA, a CES 2027 honoree

Published

on

By

AiR NOVA answers K-12 students’ science questions using more than 100,000 articles written by DongA Science’s own journalists, showing the source article behind each answer.Launching in January 2027 on web, iOS and Android in Korean, English, Vietnamese and Spanish.

AiR NOVA’s Tutor answers a question about a newly named Korean dinosaur and shows the source article behind the answer. Background imagery is AI-generated.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DongA Science, a South Korean science media company that has published science magazines since 1986, has built an AI tutor on its own journalism. AiR NOVA, which answers students’ science questions from the company’s archive and shows the source article behind each answer, has been named a CES Innovation Awards® 2027 Honoree in the EdTech category, the company announced today.

As news publishers around the world weigh how their reporting should be used by AI, DongA Science took a different route by turning its archive into an exclusive learning product. Rather than drawing on the open web, AiR NOVA sources its answers from more than 100,000 articles reported and verified by the company’s science journalists over the past 40 years. This archive spans its magazine archive and daily science news, allowing students to verify where each answer originated. Furthermore, students using AiR NOVA in English, Vietnamese or Spanish receive answers in their selected language, alongside the translated source article from the Korean original.

To learn more about AiR NOVA’s CES 2027 recognition and explore its AI-driven educational features, visit nova.dongascience.com/intro or watch the introductory video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=03EsRqmuASQ.

Three Ways to Keep Students Asking

AiR NOVA is designed for K-12 students and integrates three core AI functions into a single app:

Tutor answers questions with verified sources. For instance, if a student asks, “Are new dinosaurs still being discovered?” Tutor explains at their grade level how the Doolysaurus was named in 2026 as Korea’s third new dinosaur species, and then displays the reference article.Socrates is a patent-pending Socratic-dialogue mode that replies with guiding questions instead of direct answers, encouraging students to reason their way to an explanation in their own words. Students can also upload their inquiry reports, prompting Socrates to ask questions that walk them back through their conclusion process.Coach sustains the inquiry process beyond the initial answer. Students work through missions tied to specific articles, which involve predicting, asking questions, checking sources, explaining and reflecting.

In the Classroom

Teachers can utilize Coach to structure lessons around articles that match their curriculum, build worksheets and missions, and track each student’s participation and results via comprehensive reports. This significantly reduces the time required to prepare inquiry-based lessons.

At launch, AiR NOVA’s science and math content will align with South Korea’s national curriculum, the U.S. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), Cambridge International and the International Baccalaureate (IB). AiR NOVA will be available in January 2027 on web, iOS and Android platforms, requiring no dedicated device. Pricing details will be announced at a later date.

Built on a Proven Service in South Korean Schools

AiR NOVA is the global edition of DongA Science AiR, the company’s established AI science inquiry service in South Korea. The school edition, DongA Science AiR edu, is currently utilized by more than 20,000 students across 170 schools, who collectively complete an average of 5,000 inquiry activities per month. DongA Science developed AiR NOVA based on this extensive operational experience and direct feedback from educators, including practicing teachers collaborating through a classroom problem-solving project run by the Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), a South Korean public agency.

The Korean service was honored with the Minister of Science and ICT Award at the 2024 Digital Service Frontier Awards, while its school edition received the Minister of Education Award at the 2026 K-EduTech Contest.

Showcasing at CES 2027

AiR NOVA will be featured in the Korea Pavilion at CES 2027, taking place Jan. 6-9, 2027, in Las Vegas. During the event, DongA Science plans to connect with global education institutions and edtech companies.

“This CES Innovation Awards honor reflects our long-standing effort to combine the science content we have built up over many years with AI technology to solve real problems in education,” said Kyung-ae Jang, CEO of DongA Science. “We want students around the world to start from a small spark of curiosity and discover the joy of inquiry with AiR NOVA, and we want teachers to be able to design inquiry lessons without the extra burden.”

The CES Innovation Awards program, produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), honors outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products.

About DongA Science

DongA Science is a leading South Korean science media company that connects science journalism with AI technology to broaden how people learn. Starting with its flagship magazine, Science DongA, launched in 1986, it publishes science and math magazines for children and teens and, together with its daily science news, has built an archive of more than 100,000 science articles over 40 years. Content reported and verified by its science journalists is the foundation for building trustworthy AI education products. On that foundation, the company operates the AI science inquiry service DongA Science AiR in South Korea and will launch its global edition, AiR NOVA, in January 2027.
