Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2025

Losses and non-cash expenses

The net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends was $162.0 million, or $3,338.65 net loss per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after preferred dividends of $193.9 million, or $21,493,370.73 loss per share, for the six months ended March 31, 2024 (giving retroactive effect to reverse stock splits).

Major part of the losses during the six months ended March 31, 2025, related to non-cash expenses: $118.5 million or 73% of the loss for the six months ended March 31, 2025, versus $135.1 million (or 70%) for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, we invoiced for 69 vehicles valued at $5.7 million, received $8.0 million in cash, and recorded $7.9 million in revenues. The Company is deferring revenue recognition on most of Mullen commercial vehicles invoiced until invoices are paid and the return provision on the vehicles is offset when the dealer's sale of the vehicle to the end user or the dealer chooses to legally forego the return provision.

Liquidity

We had total cash (including restricted cash) of $2.3 million on March 31, 2025, versus $10.7 million on Sept. 30, 2024. The working capital as of March 31, 2025, was negative $156.1 million, or $56.7 million if adding back derivative liabilities and other liabilities expected to be settled in common stock.

The total cash spent on operating and investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was $52.4 million and $120.9 million, respectively, which represents a decrease of $68.5 million, or 56.6%. As it was announced previously, the Company intends to maintain its momentum of reducing the cash outflow by cutting operating costs and restructuring liabilities. Through March 31, 2025, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of convertible notes and warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $4.9 million net cash spent on financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Bollinger Motors – receivership after the balance sheet date

After the balance sheet date, on May 7, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan entered an order placing Bollinger Motors, Inc., a majority-owned and material operating segment of Mullen Automotive Inc., into court-appointed receivership. Mullen is exploring various options to challenge and resolve this matter and has engaged litigation counsel.

This action followed a legal complaint filed on March 21, 2025, by Robert Bollinger, who alleged a breach of contract related to a $10.0 million secured promissory note executed on October 24, 2024. The court order appointed a receiver with full authority over Bollinger Motors' operations, governance, and assets, including the ability to operate or sell the business, in whole or in part, for the benefit of creditors.

The promissory note at issue was not guaranteed by Mullen, and no current legal proceedings or court orders impose an obligation on Mullen to fund any shortfall if the assets of Bollinger Motors are insufficient to cover its liabilities. The company does not expect the loss of Bollinger Motors to have a material adverse impact on its liquidity or capital resources.
